Five Years Ugly My Ex Begged Me Back After I Married a BillionaireChapter 1

The day I went to City Hall to finalize the divorce, I wiped off the ugly makeup I'd worn for years and switched to something simple.

When Andrew James saw my face, his impatience flickered into surprise.

He stared for a long moment, then let out a half-regretful laugh. "If you'd put in a little effort earlier—fixed yourself up—we wouldn't have ended up here."

I said nothing. Just got in the car.

After we got the certificate, he kept staring at my face, making no move to leave.

"If things get hard for you later, you can come find me. For old times' sake, I won't let you starve."

I smiled but didn't answer.

No.

That day would never come.

Because in thirty minutes, I was marrying my childhood sweetheart—the man who'd loved me for ten years.

Outside City Hall, Andrew clicked his key fob twice. A Porsche beeped at the curb.

A girl in a pink coat ran over, beaming. "Andrew! You're done?"

He smiled indulgently and nodded.

Sophie Quinn snatched the divorce certificate, grinning so wide her face might split. "Congratulations—you're finally free!"

"Let's get hot pot tonight. Celebrate properly!"
