Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back novel Chapter 1

[Matilda]

"You mean he's not yet back?" I bit down on my lower lip as Julia, my best friend asked on the phone. I nodded as if she could see me, pressing my lips into a thin line.

"He's not back Julia, it's been a week, I'm scared I don't even know if he's okay!" My hand moved to my eyes as I wiped off the tears that were rolling down my cheeks

"Don't tell me you're worried about that asshole of a man, you fucking know that he's having the best time of his life right now with that whore he calls a mistress. Tilda listen the man who made you enter that disgusting marriage is dead, don't you think it's time you leave that asshole of a husband!" Julia snapped, I shut my eyes for a moment, allowing the tears to fall freely.

Yes, Mr. Black Donovan, my father-in-law, passed away a week ago, and he was the reason why I got into this marriage. Even though I knew Kaden hated me so much up until now because of what happened three years ago. Even when I was innocent of his accusations, that didn't still stop his hatred from growing every single day towards me

"Julia, you know, I can't...I..."

"Yes, that's right, go on, you love him, isn't that the trash you want to say now? Where has that love taken you? He does not even talk to you like a husband, makes love to you only when he's drunk as if you are some disgusting piece of shit that he can't fuck when he's sober, tell me what more of an asshole can he be? Your father-in-law is dead, how much more do you think he would do now that the only man who defends you is no longer alive!!" Julia snapped, making me drag my duvet closer to my body as cold shivers ran down my spine.

"I love him, Julia, I know he will change...I"

"You're just funny, a man who left you after his father's funeral and walked out with the same mistress he rubs in your face. And it's been a fucking week, he has not even called to check on you, and he still will not take your calls. Who the fuck does that?" Julia yelled, and every word she said felt like a slap to me. It was all true, that was the type of marriage I got myself into.

But how could I leave him?

I love Kaden with my life

"Knock!" A soft knock sounded on my door. I bit down on my lower lip, wiping off my teary eyes

"Julia, I'll call you back, I need to answer the door!!"

"It's not about calling me back, think about leaving that marriage, you're a fucking beautiful lady..."

"Julia, please!"

"Fine, talk later!" Julia let out a loud sigh before ending the call.

"Hold on, I'm coming!" I said to whoever was at the door. I stood up and adjusted my robe before making my way to the door

I pulled the door open and one of the maids was standing right at the door with her lips pressed into a thin line

"Good evening, Ma'am!" Zia gave me a firm nod. I already knew why she was here, but I had no appetite to eat anything right now.

"Zia, I know it's dinner time, but I'm sorry I don't have an appetite to eat. Could you please store it well? I'll eat tomorrow, or if I get hungry later, I will come to warm it up myself!" I said softly
