Running After my Secret Billionaire Ex-Wife by Yoonworks

Ciara was devastated. She knew she was innocent, but Callum’s words cut deep. She felt completely alone, with no one to turn to for support. She sank down on the couch and cried, the weight of the situation pressing down on her.

But then she remembered something important: she was pregnant too. She had to put aside her own worries and go to the hospital to make sure her baby was okay. She wiped away her tears and headed out the door.

When she arrived at the hospital, she heard Callum and Blake talking in the hallway. She paused, her heart racing, as she tried to make out what they

were saying.

“Stop worrying about my issues,” Callum sounded a little annoyed. Blake had been asking him questions and there was a part of him that was slightly. p i s s e d off because Blake seemed to be too concerned with his and Ciara’s relationship.

“Why don’t you just divorce Ciara?” Blake asked. “If things are going like this, isn’t it better for the two of you to part ways?”

Callum sighed. “I can’t do that, not yet anyway.”

Ciara’s stomach lunged at that. What does he mean ‘not yet’?

Callum seemed a little hesitant but after Blake’s consistent pushing, he finally answered. “I have my goals and since I married her, what’s mine is hers too. If we get divorced, Ciara will have to share half of it. I’d lose more if I lose her,” he meaningfully stated.

Ciara felt her face grow hot with humiliation. She realized that her marriage to Callum was nothing more than a business arrangement. She couldn’t believe she had been so blind.

Ciara felt a surge of anger washes over her. So that was all their marriage was worth to him? Money? She couldn’t believe it. She thought that perhaps, what they shared was still special despite the problems they were facing, not something that couldn’t be measured in dollars and cents.

Maybe it’s time for them to really get a divorce. She thought to herself.

Instead of showing herself to the two, she decided to act like she wasn’t there and visit Shane instead.

As she made her way to Shane’s room, her thoughts were in chaos. But when she saw her, she forgot all about her own problems. Shane was in a rage, throwing objects at anyone who came near her.

“Ciara!” she screamed when she saw her. “You did this to me! You killed my baby!”

Ciara’s instincts kicked in, and she threw up her arms to protect her stomach. The vase shattered against her head, sending a shock of pain through her

Ciara’s heart broke at the sight of her pain. She knew she wasn’t responsible for the miscarriage, but she didn’t know how to convince Shane of that. She tried to calm her down, but Shane wouldn’t Esten.

“What are you doing?” Ciara shouted, as Shane grabbed another vase and prepared to throw it.

Just then, Blake came into the room and saw what was happening. He quickly stepped in front of Clara, shielding her from Shane’s angry outbursts.

“Calm down, Shane,” Blake said, his voice firm but gentle. “It’s not her fault.”

Callum soon entered and caged Shane into a protective hug. It was as if he was showing her that he cared more for Shane than her.

And that broke Clara’s heart even more. At this point, anyone who would see them would think that Shane was Callum’s wife and not her,

A bitter smile escaped her lips.

“What did you do? I told you to apologize for what you did and not anger her even morel” Callum growled.

Ciara’s eyes moistened at that.

“I told you I didn’t push her. She tried to hurt me, demanding that I get a divorce and leave you alone. She lunged herself at me and I just avoided her!”

Cara could no longer control her outburst. And the fact that the words Callum had said earlier when he was talking with Blake still ring on her car made her even more furious.

Her emotions were starting to get ahead of her.

“Shut up! You killed my child! You did that because you hated me! You didn’t like that I was there with you!” Shane laughed hysterically. “You had always been b i t c h y towards me whenever Callum wasn’t around!”

Callum’s face darkened at what he heard and Ciara couldn’t help but laugh at how absurd things are right now.

She couldn’t believe how much of a liar Shane was

“Enough of this! Leave this room right now if you are not going to admit your mistakes, Ciara! I am so disappointed in you!”

Ciara’s breath hitched and she could no longer stand the pain that she was feeling. Ciara was left alone with her thoughts. She felt numb, disconnected from everything around her.

Ciara felt like she was living in a nightmare. She couldn’t believe the man she loved, the man she built a life and a company with, could betray her in such a way. She thought back to all the times she defended him, all the times she stood by his side, and she felt sick to her stomach.

She gave up everything for him.

“You wouldn’t believe me no matter what I say, huh?” she whispered.

Callum was startled when he heard the tone that was laced in her voice. It was hurting, and yet it felt like burning like it was doing something to him.

Their eyes met and he could see the disappointment in Ciara’s gaze.

“You’ve known me as a cold-hearted person so it was easy for you to believe that I could just harm anyone. You didn’t even ask my side of the story and you just sided with her,”

“It was because you a are a liar! Don’t listen to her, Callum! Look at what she did to me! She killed my baby!”

Shane started crying again, her hands grasped Callum’s arms determined not to let him go. Callum was momentarily distracted because of that.

And that was an annoying sight for Ciara. Everything was just too much for her. She is also with a child on her stomach and yet the father of her child was on someone else’s side and not hers.

She didn’t know what she was thinking but for the first time, she wanted to take what was hers..

The hospital room was full of tension. The air was just too heavy for everyone. Clara stood there, her heart clenched with both anticipation and worry. Callum was by Shane’s side, his attention solely focused on her. Her fingers trembled slightly as she took a deep breath, trying to steady herself for what she wanted to say.

*Remove your hands from her,” Ciara suddenly stated.

Wed 29 May E

Blake, as Callum’s best friend, had always seen Cinta as someone so level-hended. He know the reason why the two got married and to be honest, he appreciated Ciara for always being there for Callum. Despite their circumstances, Blake knew that Ciara stayed with Callum because the woman felt something to her friend, only that Callum seemed to be unaware of it.

But right now, he was seeing a different side of Clara.

Remove your hands of her and come with me. I need you.” Ciara never removed her gaze to Callum, hoping that the latter would got how serious she is with her words

“Stop your nonsense, Ciara. Just leave here if you won’t apologize. I need to stay with Shane,”

“I need to tell you something.”

Hearched an eyebrow, a faint hint of annoyance crossing his features. “Can’t it wait? Shane needs me right now.

Her heart sank. The way he brushed her aside so easily, prioritizing Shane over her, was a stark reminder of where she stood in his life. But she needed fo get this off her chest, to tell him about the pregnancy before the weight of it consumed her.

“It can’t wait, Callum. Please,” she implored; her voice tinged with desperation,

“And I told you, we won’t have this conversation now. Just leave. You are not helping with what you’re doing,”

Ciara wet her lower lip. She’s had enough.

“Callum, I thought we were supposed to be partners, that we would face everything together,” she said, her voice tinged with disappointment.

His gaze turned cold, his features hardening. “Right now, Shane is my priority, I can’t just drop everything because of this.”

The weight of his words crashed down on her, confirming the fears that had been lingering in her heart. She had given everything for him, but hist attachment to Shane was unbreakable. She felt a surge of anger and hurt, the realization hitting her hard.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Then let’s end everything in here. I can’t do this anymore, Callum,” her voice trembled with a mix of pain and resolve. “I’ve given everything, and it’s never enough. This is the end for us.”

His eyes widened in surprise; the cold façade momentarily cracking.

“We’re done, Callum,” her voice steadier now. “I’ll file for a divorce, and you don’t have to worry about your money, I won’t take a single cent. You won’t have to worry about me taking something from the company. It’s all yours,”

His expression shifted from surprise to a mix of shock and realization. It was then that she knew he had been keeping more secrets than she thought. The truth of his conversations with Blake came crashing down, and she turned away, leaving him.

Ciara walked away from him, her heart heavy with the weight of a love that had turned into pain. As she navigated the hospital corridors alone, tears streamed down her face. She reached for her phone, dialing her older sister’s number to arrange for a pickup.

“Ciara?” her older sister’s voice was laced with shock at the sudden phone call

Alone and broken-hearted, Ciara huddled in a corner, her s o b s echoing in the sterile surroundings. Her illusions shattered; she began to accept that it was truly over.

“Can you come pick me up?”

And her sister, not even asking her what happened, stood up from a business meeting, not even caring if it was a big deal for their company.
