Dear Ex: Your 'Love Test' Blew Up Chapter 1

The day my husband's plane crashed into the sea, I broke down and attempted to die with him.

It was only after being rescued that I remembered it was April Fool's Day.

Before losing consciousness, I heard the mocking voice of his lover.

"Theo, your sister-in-law is really head over heels for you.

If she finds out you're messing with her, she'll go insane!"

He chuckled softly.

"Go insane? Esme Fairchild is more docile than a dog after giving birth.Just don't let her know about this.This is the last time I'll test her love for me."

Everyone burst out laughing, swearing to keep it secret.

I lay on the stretcher, unable to shed another tear.

Theo Pembroke didn't know-

When I woke up in the hospital, there was a bouquet of flower on the table.

In the past, when I was sick, Theo Pembroke wouldn't even show his face,only sending his assistant over with piles of supplements.

Seeing my indifferent expression,he got me some water.

"Happy to see I'm not dead?"

I turned my head and caught a glimpse of the faint kiss mark on his neck,my voice was calm.

"Theo Pembroke, let's get a divorce."

His hand paused slightly.

Then, right in front of me, he made a phone call.

Soon, the assistant brought over Theobe.

It had been months since I last saw him,and he'd grown taller.

But he was still distant from me.

I gave birth to Theobe,but right after the breastfeeding period,he was taken away by the Theo's dad.

I only got to see him during holidays.

I knew exactly why Theo Pembroke brought him to me.

Back when he partied too much outside,and I was mad and ignored him,he'd always send our son to keep me company.

I've lost count of how many times this trick has been repeated.

But now, this trump card no longer works on me.

Seeing Theobe, chubbier than before, I didn't smile.

He frowned in displeasure,a mini version of Theo,even the way he said my name had Theo's accent.

"Esme Fairchild, you're still so stiff and boring.Dad, I don't want to stay here.

I want to go back and play Golluck with Lydia."

Lydia?

No wonder he never calls me "Mom."

Turns out, he's long since accepted someone else as his mother.

Theo's eyes turned cold.

Theobe immediately shut up and climbed into my arms.

"Daddy scolded me!"

In the past, I would always protect Theobe,but this time, I pushed him away.

"Go complain to your Lydia."

Two nearly identical faces froze.

I continued,"Theo Pembroke, I'm serious about the divorce.I'm not joking."

A flicker of anger passed through his eyes,but was quickly replaced by a mocking smile.

"Esme Fairchild, playing hard to get can backfire.If you really piss me off,don't expect to see your son again."

No wonder he didn't react when I first mentioned divorce-he thought I was retreating in order to advance.

I remembered last year,when he played around with a young starlet so muchthat she was hospitalized for ruptured ovaries and internal bleeding-it even trended on the hot search.

I tried to divorce him.

He locked me in a room and wouldn't let me see Theobe for half a year.

That's when I finally learned my lesson.

That was also when I realized-I couldn't love him anymore.

"Theo Pembroke, I'll be moving out of the Pembroke family after I'm discharged."

PRICED BY MY BILLIONAIRE NEMESIS Novel Cover
9.1
Eight years ago, Lena Hale was a second-year university student who trusted the wrong moment with her entire life. Adrian Vale was in his final year-brilliant, disciplined, already learning how to rule rather than feel. To Lena, he was safety. To Adrian, she was the one weakness he allowed himself. Until one night destroyed everything. Adrian saw her in a position he could not forgive. Something that looked deliberate. Something that felt like betrayal carved into his bones. He didn't ask for the truth. She never got the chance to give it. They separated broken, bleeding, and unfinished-and the damage followed them for eight years. When they meet again, there is no tenderness left. Lena is older now. Quieter. Cornered by debt that doesn't negotiate and men who collect pain instead of money. Survival forces her into one final humiliation-standing in for her best friend on a single escort assignment. One night. One paycheck. One way to keep breathing. She never expects Adrian to be the man watching. Adrian Vale is no longer capable of doubt. He is a billionaire built on precision, control, and a resentment he never questioned. Power has stripped him of mercy. When he sees Lena again-dressed for another man, standing exactly where he believes she chose to stand-his judgment finalizes. She betrayed him once. Now she's proving it. He doesn't ask questions. He doesn't want explanations. He wants confirmation-and control. Money becomes a weapon. Silence becomes obedience. And Lena learns just how expensive survival can be. But Adrian's empire is cracking. His mother is dying, and her deal is brutal in its simplicity: marriage in echange for another round of chemo. What begins as punishment becomes proximity. What begins as resentment mutates into obsession. And beneath Adrian's certainty lurks a truth so corrosive it could dismantle everything he built. This is not a love story. It is not forgiveness. It is power colliding with memory. Control strangling truth. And two people bound together by a lie that refuses to stay buried. Because some love stories don't burn slowly. They detonate. And when the truth comes out... nothing survives intact.
