Last Life, I Divorced Him and He Became a Billionaire. This Life, I’m Keeping the Billionaire Chapter 14
Hudson watched as the woman across from him took an indifferent sip of her juice
Willow had no idea that the marks of lovemaking were still visible on her neck.
A bitter taste rose in Hudson’s mouth. He didn’t understand why he couldn’t stop thinking about Willow
From the time they met in college, fell in love, got married, and then he cheated-he had never really felt
much for Willow.
Willow was a very ordinary girl. Slightly pretty, perhaps, but her personality was too plain.
Not like Alina-beautiful, bold, and vibrant.
With Alina, Hudson had skipped class, fought, ridden his motorcycle down country roads late at night, and
nearly crashed.
Those thrilling, adrenaline-filled moments lingered in his heart long after they broke up.
By the third year of his marriage, when he saw Alina again, he couldn’t hold back. He crossed the line.
They met as old classmates, sharing meals, traveling together, and nearly sleeping together.
When he pulled away from her at the last moment, the disappointment in her eyes was impossible to miss.
Hudson’s heart ached. It wasn’t that he didn’t want Alina. She was just too perfect for him.
He didn’t want to be with her in some cheap, ill-defined way.
But before he could figure out the divorce, Alina sent a short breakup message and flew overseas to marry a foreign man she’d just met.
Devastated and disheartened, Hudson chose to confess everything to Willow.
He’d thought that if Willow couldn’t forgive him, they would divorce, and he could properly pursue Alina if she
ever returned.
Never had he imagined that Willow wouldn’t yell or fight. She forgave him and treated him even better than
before.
She brought him meals every day and massaged him when he got home.
When she was pregnant, she still showed up at the office with food, politely pretending not to see the photo
on his desk.
Hudson’s broken, wounded heart began to turn toward this woman he’d long ignored.
He suddenly remembered his mother’s last words, “Willow is a good woman.”
Yes, Willow was a good woman-gentle, thoughtful, kind, and forgiving.
And yet he had let her down, again and again
After they separated, Hudson was swallowed by guilt.
He felt a vague, unnamable pain, like suffocating, like being trapped. He wanted to snap but couldn’t
Their newborn daughter became his constant worry.
He wanted to see her, but he was afraid of upsetting Willow.
He turned her advances over and over in his mind, barely noticing Alina’s attempts to get close.
Until Alina broke down crying, asking if he no longer loved her.
Only then did Hudson realize his feelings for Alina were no longer pure like they had been.
He might still have loved her-otherwise, he wouldn’t have divorced Willow for her.
But deep inside that battered, scarred heart of his, the shadow of another woman had quietly taken root.
