Billionaire ex-husband craves me back Chapter 1 One

Sophia's POV

It's Christmas Eve and I'm sitting all alone in our big house. Donald, my husband had gone to work and won't be back until later in the day. The snow from outside was still falling hard. It's always been like that every Christmas Eve here in Marquette.

"Hey Sophia," Mr. Jack said as I picked the call, "we can't make it today due to the weather."

"Oh, alright." I responded.

"You take care, okay. We'd surely be there tomorrow," he said then quickly added, "Evelyn send her regards, bye."

Afterwards, there was silence. I was tempted to call my parents. But I guess they don't even want to talk to me. It's been years yet they still haven't forgiven me for marrying Donald.

I took a sip of the hot coffee as the memories came back to me. They didn't acknowledge me marrying Donald. Their reason was funny. Well, maybe not to them, but it is to me. They told me I can't marry Donald because he's of a higher social class? That's an inferiority complex at its peak, isn't it? I had gone ahead and disregarded their reason. And they had cut off all ties with me.

I placed my mug on the table and watched briefly the unending snowflake from outside. Now was the time that I wish I had friends here in Marquette. Since I got married to Donald, Christmas had always been celebrated with just his family.

Donald and I had no friends either. At least not that I know of. So I was all alone sitting in the big mansion, gently sipping my coffee. Luckily, Donald should be home soon.

I decided to watch some news to keep myself busy after sending another text to Donald. There had been a car accident according to the news. I watched keenly to know all the details. The accident had happened not too far from Donald's company. I looked outside again to see it was snowing even harder.

"He's going to be okay," I said, assuring the baby in my womb. "Maybe the meeting with Anderson isn't going too well."

Anderson is a family friend and also Donald's business partner.

Some moments later, I checked my phone and there was still no reply from Donald. I was becoming worried. There was a noise from downstairs so I strolled down to confirm. I sighed in relief as I saw Donald was back and was eating his meal.

"Welcome home honey." I said, my face lighting up.

"How was your day?" I added thoughtfully.

He grunted in response. Immediately I saw him take the first bite of the turkey, I noticed the irritation in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" I asked in a concerned tone.

"This rubbish you served as my food," he said, looking at me with sharp, cold eyes.

I felt a knot in my stomach. "What do you me-an?" I stuttered.

He gestured to the plate, his lips formed into a thin line. "This turkey is spoiled. Can't you taste it?"

I took a tentative bite. Then, my face scrunched up at the foul taste. "I'm sorry, I didn't taste it before serving you. The maid cooked it before vacation, I just re-roast the turkey."

Donald's expression darkened. "You never do, do you? You're always so careless."

I felt a surge of defensiveness. "It's just because of the baby, I-"

"Don't use the baby as an excuse." The words escaped his lips in a growl. His hands are fisted beside him.

"Please Donald, I don't want to fight." I pleaded, trying to avoid the whole drama.

A soft chuckle broke on his lips. "Fight? No one is fighting. I'm just sick and tired of your dirty tricks."

"What tricks are you talking about?" I probed, staring at his face.

He jerked up from his seat, his hands fisting. "How you fooled everyone to marry me. Including my mother! You are the perfect daughter-in-law to them, but I saw through your charade. I only honored my mother's dying wish to marry you–"

"Don't, please..." I begged, not wanting him to continue as his words were beginning to sound hurtful.

And that moment, he stormed away, heading towards his room. His words played in my mind as I went straight to the kitchen to prepare his favorite meal–hamburger and cheese.

I had first met Donald while he came shopping. I was the one who attended to him. He sounded so cool and I immediately fell in love with his aura. He had been frequenting the mall then but I didn't know how to tell him.

On a particular day while at work. There was a power outage and I was stuck in a lift with a middle-aged woman. The woman had a claustrophobic attack and I had done my best in helping, until she got medical attention. The woman whose name was Mary, turned out to be Donald's mother. She had taken a liking to me and must have noticed the way I feel about his son. Mary had ensured Donald and I married before cancer took her away.

I was already used to Donald's attitude so what he said didn't bother me much. Instead I focused on making sure his meal was quickly prepared. I was still in a rush when I mistakenly flipped the pan and the hot oil poured on my legs.

"Ouch!" I cried out as the hotness of the oil burned deep into my skin.

Donald rushed into the kitchen, a look of worry on his face. His upper body was bare as he seemed to just have his bath as his jet black hair was tousled in a sexy kind of way. My eyes trailed his broad chest down to his packs and I felt my heart beat fast.

Immediately he confirmed I was okay, he turned back and headed out of the kitchen leaving me frustrated. I cursed in my mind as I stepped out from the kitchen to serve his meal.

Who was I fooling? I was upset. He didn't care about me, he only rushed out because of the baby. I should have known that he didn't care in the first place.

As I stepped into the dining area, I saw Donald smiling widely while he stared at his phone. Donald only smiles once in a blue moon so that seems to pique my interest. What was he smiling about? Was he talking to a lady? That must have been the reason he had been coming home late recently.

He was still smiling at his phone and that made my blood boil. He didn't even notice I had served his meal at the diner, or was she back?

"Your meal is getting cold." I called out to him, as I couldn't hold it any longer.

He looked up at me and the smile on his face disappeared. It had been replaced by the cold, distant gaze I was now used to.

"There would be no need for that." He said, then added. "Have this!"

His hands were stretched out to me with a blank, brown envelope. I was tempted to ask what the content was as I moved closer to collect it. Did he get a Christmas gift for me?

I opened the seal and what I saw got me shocked and confused at the same time. A divorce paper? This must be a joke, right?

"What's this?" I asked, my heart pounding in my chest.

"You are not blind," he said, sounding irritated.

"Why?"

"Seriously? You are asking me why?" He stood up, leaned closer to me. "I only married you to make my mother feel happy, now that she's gone I have no business with you."

"Don't do this. Think about us. What happened to what we have built?"

"That's where you are wrong, Sophia. It's time you wake up from this dream. There's no us, why don't you still get it," he said without a hint of emotion.

"Laura is back, she's the only woman I ever loved."

"I think it's about time you devour me." I heard him say and I blinked. What was he talking about? A frown creased my face. His confidence and graceful poise seem to unnerve me. He had something about him I couldn't figure out, yet. "Wh-a-t did you say?" I stuttered, forcing myself to tear my eyes away from his face. He chuckled, then leaned closer to my ears. "I asked when you were going to devour me." I flinched. What was he playing at? Was he flirting with me so openly? I willed myself to ignore his statement. I had a bigger task at hand to let myself be bothered by a pretty man. I cleared my throat and his eyes were now focused on me. "I have no time for your gimmicks. Excuse me." I was leaving when I felt his hands draw me back. "You leave only when I ask you to." He growled and I instantly feel my knees weaken. His voice carry with it some kind of authority.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

I went to the New York City Clerk's office to handle a simple administrative matter, but the woman behind the glass handed me a nightmare instead. It was a certified marriage license from Clark County, Nevada, filed exactly three months ago. My vision blurred as I read the name in the spouse field: Baxter Noel. I was legally married to the ruthless billionaire whose legal team was currently suing me for intellectual property theft and trying to destroy my career. I remembered the conference in Las Vegas and a drink that tasted far too sweet, followed by a twelve-hour black hole in my memory that I had chalked up to exhaustion. When I sought help at my family's estate, my stepmother and sister didn't offer comfort; they stole my passport, shredded my clothes, and framed me for academic plagiarism to strip away my university fellowship. Even Baxter himself looked me in the eye with cold indifference, claiming he didn't know me and promising to have me arrested for fraud if I ever showed him that document again. Within twenty-four hours, I was homeless, jobless, and being hunted by the most powerful man in the city. I couldn't understand why a man who "eats people for breakfast" would be caught in the same trap as a struggling scientist like me. The confusion turned to pure terror when I looked at the witness signature on the license: Gene Mcclain. My mother, who was supposed to have died in a car crash ten years ago, had signed that paper with a fresh, trembling hand only ninety days ago. "I am holding a grenade, and I have no idea when the pin was pulled." Standing in the biting November wind with nothing but a laptop and a marriage license, I realized I was just a pawn in a much deadlier game. I stopped running and began to fight back, determined to use my unwanted status as the billionaire's wife to uncover the truth about the mother who came back from the dead.
