April Fools “Surprise” Husband Divorcing Me For His “Pure” Girl novel Chapter 61

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

At the company retreat, my fiance served his assistant first-right in front of me.

She smirked. Oops, forgot you were sitting there, Vivian. You cool with this? Ethan’s just being sweet.”

Ethan didn’t even glance my way.

Cool with it? She’s nothing. A wife on paper. That’s it.”

“Her family was dying for me to marry her. If Grandpa hadn’t shoved this down my throat, I wouldnt go near some backwoods trash like her.” He laughed. Fucking joke.”

His phone rang. He walked off.

The assistant dumped water straight on me. “Ohmigod, I’m so clumsy…”

Sure.

I hit dial.

Mr. Blackwood? Quick question-who was crawling to who for this wedding? ‘Cause your son seems confused.”

Normally? I’d be gone.

Only reason I’m still breathing this air is Grandpa. He set up this joke of an engagement. Otherwise? I wouldn’t waste spit.

This bracelet she just destroyed? Grandpa’s gift. Not just money-it’s power.

But Ethan’s not here, and even if he was, talking to him is pointless. So I’m going over his head.

If his father gives me a real answer, maybe I’ll forget this happened.

Before the line even connects, the assistant snatches my phone and hangs up.

I go still.

Do I look like someone you can push around? Some assistant thinks she owns me?

She’s twirling my phone, all smug. “Mr. Blackwood? Really?” She’s practically cackling. “Sweetie, he checked out years ago. Doesn’t touch the company. Even Ethan cant reach him half the time.”

You didn’t even try to make this convincing. Cheap prop, fake drama-what is this, dinner theater?”

But hey, my dress got soaked too. Brand new, totally ruined. You pay up, we’re square.

Custom piece. One of a kind. Three million. Fair deal, right?”

I tilt my head.

Are you actually stupid, or just pretending?

You dumped the water. Now I’m supposed to pay you?” I laugh Cold Sharp. That’s bold

I sweep the room with my eyes. “Plenty of witnesses here. Want me to call the cops? Let’s see how that plays out.”

Her grin stretches wider.

“Cops? Oh honey, you really don’t know where you are. They show up, they’re on my side.”

Chapter 1

“What barn did you crawl out of? I seriously don’t get what Mr. Blackwood was thinking, chaining Ethan to you.”

I meet her stare head-on. Don’t blink.

“So the police are Blackwood Corp’s personal guard dogs now?”

Interesting. If some bottom-tier assistant can throw that name around like confetti, sounds like the whole operation’s dirty.” I smile. “Rotting from the inside.

The room erupts in whispers.

Is she suicidal? Fiona’s basically Ethan’s right hand. She’s untouchable.”

Total small-town vibes. Anyone from here knows you don’t cross Blackwood Corp.”

Okay but… Fiona’s unhinged right now. Vivian’s still his fiancée. Where does she get off?”

Fiona’s face goes crimson.

Who the fuck do you think you are?! Running your mouth about Blackwood like that?!”

he lunges. Fist raised.

I’m gonna teach you some manners!”

shift. One step. She misses by a mile.

irandpa’s security trained me since I was ten. She’s not even warm-up level.

ler whole body’s shaking now.

You bitch! Move again and you’re leaving in an ambulance!”

voice slices through the chaos.

STOP.”
