My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1017

Chapter 1017 

They drove back to Galaxy Villa. 

Once they arrived, they entered the house one after the other. 

“We need to talk,” Joe said, looking at Skylar as they stepped inside. 

All day, Joe had felt his heart racing, sensing that something significant was about to happen. He also had a feeling he didn’t want to see it unfold. 

“Okay,” Skylar replied, moving closer. 

Once seated, Joe fixed his gaze on her. “Tell me, did something happen today? Is it about us or Grandma? 

Joe had an uncanny ability to sense things. Skylar knew she hadn’t been herself today, but she hadn’t expected him to pinpoint the reason so accurately. 

With that in mind, she decided to speak up, “I think we should end our marriage. We’ve been married in secret, and we can just quietly get a divorce without anyone knowing…” 

Before she could finish, she saw Joe’s face turn ashen. 

“Is this what you wanted to talk about? You’ve been hiding your feelings all day just to tell me you want a divorce? Did you plan to deceive Grandma too? Skylar, how could you!” 

With that, Joe shot up from his seat. His lips pressed tightly together. 

Anger radiated off him, unfiltered and intense. Without giving Skylar a chance to respond, he turned and left Galaxy Villa. 

Skylar watched as the door slammed shut, stunned by his reaction. She hadn’t expected Joe to react so strongly to the mention of divorce. 

Later that night, as Skylar slept, she suddenly felt as though she were engulfed in flames. 

Skylar felt trapped, her skin ablaze with pain. 

Whispers echoed around her, haunting her with cruel words. “Skylar, you’re just a burden. Why don’t you just die?” 

“Christopher is just a lackey to me. Look how much he despises you now while he’s so fond of me.” 

“How could I have a daughter like you? My daughter should be lively and talented like Maisy, not a useless wreck like you.” 

“You don’t belong in this world. You should go back to your own. You and Joe can’t be together. You’ll harm everyone you care about.” 

“You’ll bring them harm…” 

Skylar shook her head in terror, resisting as if her life depended on it. 

“Why should I? I refuse. I don’t believe it.” 

“No! You can’t hurt them.”

2/2 

Skylar felt someone wrap their arms around her, a soothing voice breaking through the chaos. “You had a nightmare? Don’t be afraid. I’m here. No one can hurt you.” 

At that moment, all her fear seemed to dissipate. 

Skylar felt a rush of pent–up emotions as if she had finally found an outlet. Tears streamed down her face as she sobbed quietly. 

Joe watched her, struck by the depth of her sadness. It dawned on him that if she could cry so heart- wrenchingly in a dream, something truly troubling must have happened to her. 

He wondered if it was because she couldn’t divorce him. As he gently patted Skylar’s hand, he suddenly froze, a wave of realization crashing over him.
