He Destroyed My Hands:Now My Billionaire Husband Destroys His EmpireChapter 1

I ran into my ex-husband while shopping for a piano for my daughter. We'd been divorced for seven years.

The sales associate spotted him and hurried over with a bright smile. "Mr. Simmons! Back again to pick out a new piano for your wife? She's so lucky to have a husband like you."

Wyatt Simmons looked past the associate, his gaze landing squarely on me. After a beat, he said, "Pick one out for her too. Put it on my account."

I smiled and shook my head, letting him know I'd already made my choice.

But he went ahead and pressed a black card into my palm. "Your dream was always to own a Steinway. But with what you're making now, you could scrub floors for the rest of your life and still only get close enough to touch one. How would you ever afford it?"

"Mildred, it's been seven years. Stop being stubborn with me."

My mind went blank for a moment.

A world-class Steinway? I already owned one.

And him? I'd let go of him a long time ago.

"You're overthinking this. I'm not being stubborn."

I stepped past Wyatt and said quietly to the associate, "I'll take the one we discussed. Please have it delivered to this address."
