Chapter 4

"Selina, you don't want free money? What do you mean by that? I'm a stranger now?"

I replied, "Since we've already broken up, we shouldn't interact to avoid being misunderstood."

I thought of my somewhat jealous husband.

Levi glanced at Rosalie, looking as if he had it all figured out.

"The company is holding a banquet for Mr. Grey in three days. I'm planning to take you there to broaden your horizons, but you need to buy a decent dress to avoid disgracing me later..."

Before he could finish speaking, I politely declined. "That's really not necessary. Thank you."

Levi became a little annoyed at my second refusal.

His hand holding the cheque froze in mid-air and his teeth were chattering. "Selina, you've really grown bold now. You indeed have a bad temper. Since you don't want to go, forget it. I'll take Rosalie!"

Hearing that Levi was going to take her to the banquet, Rosalie's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said, "Levi, I will do my best not to let you down."

I refused to argue with them any longer. I turned around and strode away. Before leaving, I said, "I hope you will still be this confident three days from now."

Leaving the airport arrival hall in a hurry and breathing in the fresh air, the nausea surging in my stomach subsided greatly.

Three years ago, my family arranged for me to go abroad for a blind date. Pressured by my parents, I begged my boyfriend Levi, whom I had been dating for seven years, to get married, hoping to make it a done deal.

Levi agreed.

Unexpectedly, I not only met Levi at the entrance of the clerk's office, but also his first love, Rosalie. "Rosalie's child needs to be legitimate, so I have to marry her first. I will marry you once we get a divorce in a month. It's just for the child. Don't overthink it."

Watching Levi holding Rosalie's hand and walking into the clerk's office, I gave up completely.

That night, I took a plane to go abroad for the blind date. A month later, I married Axel. Then, I gave birth to our first child a year later. Lately, I got pregnant with our second child.

If I had not accompanied Axel back to pay respects to his ancestors, I would not have returned, not to mention meet Levi.

Three days later, I put on light makeup and came to the banquet alone in casual clothes.

As soon as he saw me, Levi's eyes lit up while he smirked slightly.

"You said you wouldn't come, but your actions say otherwise. However, you have to at least please me if you want me to take you back. You must dress appropriately to match my status on an occasion like today."

I ignored his sudden narcissism and tried to walk around him to my seat. I had taken only two steps when the angry Levi grabbed me. "Selina, I'm talking to you. Do you hear me? Our seats are here. Where are you going?"

I shook off his hand and said calmly. "This is your seat. My seat is over there."

Levi followed my gaze and turned pale when he saw the main seat.

Rosalie glanced maliciously at me, pointed at my bracelet and cursed, "Selina, how did you sneak in? You came here to cause trouble, right? How... How dare you wear this bracelet?!"

Her voice was so loud that it attracted everyone's attention instantly.

"Is this woman's bracelet the Eternal Sincerity that Mr. Grey spent a fortune on to win for his wife? Today is the first time that Mr. Grey will appear with his wife. Is she trying to embarrass Mrs. Grey?"

Awakening From A Toxic Billionaire Marriage Novel Cover

I woke up in a sterile hospital room, my head split open from a horrific car crash. But the pain in my skull was nothing compared to the memory burned into my retinas just before the impact: my billionaire husband, Dawson, walking into a luxury hotel with a woman who looked exactly like his dead first love. When Dawson finally arrived at the ward, there was no panic or relief in his eyes. He just coldly looked at my bloody bandages. "Your reckless driving just forced me to postpone the quarterly board meeting." Even our seven-year-old son, who I almost died giving birth to, didn't spare me a single glance. He kicked my hospital bed in annoyance. "The Wi-Fi here is garbage. You're a bad mom! Dad said Aunt Angelita should be the one living with us!" My blood turned to ice. For five years, I had bent over backward, wearing the hideous pale dresses he picked, starving myself to maintain a fragile figure, all to be a perfect, obedient substitute for a ghost. And this was what I got. An unfaithful husband who would rather bury me in debt than grant me a divorce, and a son who wished I was dead. The weak, subservient Charlene died on that wet asphalt. When the doctor pointed to Dawson and asked for his name, I looked at my husband with a hollow, defensive stare. "Who are you?" I whispered. Using retrograde amnesia as my shield, I was going to tear their perfect world apart.
