The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor By LiLhyz Chapter 2

Chapter 2: The Letter

Selfish? Yes, that was true. It was because she loved Evan so much.

Insecure? How could she not be? Knowing that Nicole Lively was at arm’s length, Shantelle’s insecurity grew.

Shantelle and Evan had a relatively tranquil marriage for more than a year. It wasn’t fruitful or romantic – the dream marriage she wished for, but at least they were civil. Occasionally, they spent quality time as a married couple. Occasionally, they had made love. Shantelle could tell that Evan had tried.

However, six months ago, she received an anonymous message, tipping her of Nicole Lively’s return. She became paranoid. She kept prying, infuriating Evan with her constant interrogating and snooping. He started bringing up a divorce since. Eventually, whoever gave her clues sent her photos of Evan and Nicole together, having lunch or taking her to a luxury apartment building.

That was when Shantelle pursued to know where Nicole lived. So when she found out that Evan was paying for the apartment, she stormed into the apartment building and gave Nicole a piece of her mind. Shantelle made sure everyone in the building knew that Nicole was a mistress!

Naturally, Evan found out about it. That was how they wound up in their most noteworthy argument, within the living room of their villa.

So yes, she was selfish and insecure, but that was all because of her love for Evan.

What hurt Shantelle the most, however, were Evan’s words. ‘I DON’T. LOVE YOU! I never did!’

She thought, if there was no ounce of affection for her, then why? Why would he touch her? She ridiculed herself, still sitting on the floor. She muttered, “I guess I’m just the convenient partner.”

“Of course, Shantelle. You already know this,” she added. Evan had never told her he loved her. He never even said he liked her. She was just someone his father forced him to marry.

Shantelle got up from the floor when she realized the maids were staring at her. ‘They must have overheard. How shameful. How pathetic.’

She picked up the divorce papers and went to the master’s bedroom. It was then that she read the terms of the contract. To set Evan free, she would get ten million dollars as alimony.
