His Ex-wife Is An Heiress (Amara and Tobias)

"What?" Amara finally managed to ask, after a long silence between them. She hoped what she heard before was only some trick played on her by her mind.

"You heard me. Now that Grandfather is no longer here I think it's time we get a divorce." Tobias answered without missing a beat. "And don't forget, you brought it up first."

Tears streamed down her face and Amara felt hard to breathe. Yes, she mentioned divorce and Grandfather's will in that text message. If they end up divorcing, Amara could get half of his property.

But actually, the property was never what Amara wanted. She even planned to return it to him if one day Tobias did find someone worth spending his life with. She just couldn't sit and watch Gustavo's legacy being tainted by someone like Celestine. So she wanted Tobias back and to talk with him.

She did choose some words to irritate Tobias on purpose and she had been prepared to take on his wrath. But as soon as he came back, he rode her. He melted her with his dominance. He was the one who wove her with the illusion that there was still hope for their shattering marriage...

"You...want a divorce?" Her voice choked. "Then why did you make love with me just now?"

Her voice was full of brokenness as she buried her head in the sheets. The scent of each other still lingered on them, and her thighs still trembling slightly from his passionate thrust before. They were making love like a sweet couple a while ago yet the next second, such cruel words spewed from his lips.

"It's only sex." His tone was heartless, completely oblivious to her pain. "Besides, isn't that what you wanted? You did enjoy it but I did that only to tell you the truth, even if my pen*s gets used to your vag*na for the past six years, it doesn't mean I'm in love with you." His words were like a sharp knife stabbing into her heart. Her face turned pale and her eyes wet. Yes, their sex life was always wonderful and that was also what made her stick with the marriage for so many years. Amara naively assumed that he had at least a bit of feelings for her, or his desire wouldn't be aroused so easily.

She once thought it was love. Yet wrong. So wrong.

He wanted her only for his needs. She was just a sex doll for him. When his true love came back, she could only be abandoned.

"Come on, Amara, don't act like you're an innocent dove. You know how our marriage came! You saved my grandfather and you used this to threaten him. That's why he forced me to marry you. That's the whole truth about our marriage!"

"No, Tobias! It's not like that!" Amara shook her head desperately. "I didn't threaten grandfather. I married you just because I love you."

"Enough! Stop bothering me!" Tobias threw on his trousers and a white shirt, clearly preparing to leave. "I'll have the divorce documents sent to you as soon as possible, so quietly sign them without kicking up a fuss."

Amara couldn't believe the words she was hearing. Her eyes fluttered furiously, desperately trying to hold back tears that had gathered in the bottom of her eyes. The scene before Gustavo's death came to her mind.

The dying old man put Tobias' and her hands together kindly telling them to love each other and make a happy life.

"Amara, my kid, I know you have suffered a lot, but please, please take good care of Tobias for me. I know only you can make it."

His last words lingered in her ears, fueling her resolve to have a last try. However, Tobias didn't give her the chance. He flung a black card in her face as he wore his tie without looking back.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"Take half of my family property is beyond. Here's 50 million dollars, enough to last you several lifetimes. Take the money and sign the divorce paper obediently, or don't blame me for being rude."

With this, he turned and walked out the door. The finality in his stance and movement snuffed out whatever faith Amara left in her.

Silently, she sat on the bed, tears streaming down her face. How did she end up like this?

If it hadn't been for the car accident, Amara never thought her life would have crossed paths with Tobias.

By that chance, she saved the aged Gustavo. To thank her, Gustavo wanted to let his grandson marry her and she never expected his grandson to turn out to be Tobias, her obsession since her teenage. At that moment, she believed she was his destined bride. However, she didn't expect that Tobias already had his first love. Amara had asked Gustavo to withdraw his decision, but the old man desperately confided in her about his cancer and told her that his only wish was to see his grandson happy. Amara could not reject it anymore.

On the other side, little did Amara know how much Gustavo had done to make Tobias fall in love with her. He even threatened to make Celestine and her family homeless if Tobias couldn't treat Amara right. No one dared to doubt the word of the man in charge of the family, Celestine literally disappeared from their lives and Tobias accepted their marriage.

Tobias was a responsible husband in Amara's eyes. Until last month, he usually returned home on time and dined with her regularly. She still held faith in their marriage until she learned Celestine was back and Tobias spent most of his time with her for the past month. Now, she realized it was all Tobias' revenge on her.

Her silent cell phone suddenly rang and it was from her best friend Melanie! She immediately picked up the phone, and Melanie's anxious voice came from the phone.

"Amara? Why is Tobias suddenly withdrawing his investment in my company?"

Amara immediately realized it was Tobias' threat. He was warning her to divorce! If she refused to sign the papers, he would use Melanie's company as his bargaining chip. Amara couldn't bear it anymore. Never in her life had she been so humiliated. She felt a fire burning inside her!

So it was Tobia's true colors! So shameless!

There was no more reason for her to stay in this marriage. She believed Gustavo would understand her decision, so she called Tobias at once.

Before he could speak, she immediately said, "I agree to the divorce and I won't take any of your disgusting penny! Just prepare the divorce paper! RIGHT NOW!"

After saying that, she didn't wait for Tobias to respond and hung up the phone.

She immediately edited a text message to reassure Melanie. Even without Tobias, her company wouldn't lack investment.

Packing up her things, she left the Larsen Estate.

It was only after she felt a tiny wet drop land on her forehead, did she snapped out of her thoughts and took notice of her surroundings.

It was raining.

Tears flowed down her face, mingling with the rain as the sky seemed to mirror the state of her heart. But not a single sound escaped her lips.

She stood there, quietly letting her tears fall, her shoulders slumped, and her hair wet. Suddenly, she felt the rain stop where she stood.

She turned and saw the face of a familiar individual, a face ridiculed with concern.

"Ms. Crawford," Xavier, the exclusive butler of the Crawford greeted.

Amara didn't respond.

Instead, she let the man wrap a coat around her shoulders, damping out the chill nature of her wet dress, before he continued.

"The time limit given was about to expire. It's time for you to divorce Mr. Larsen and come home to manage the family business." "The Master is calling for your return as the one and only rightful ruler."
