Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire novel Chapter 132

'Ramona Myers,' Adrian mused in the car, his hand massaging his temples as he stared into the road.

He dreaded this day would come, but he wasn't expecting it to be this fast! What was he going to do now? He still had to take care of Fredrick and Tonet!

Since there was a threat to Riley's life, he must take care of Ramona first.

Adrian was still in deep thought when suddenly, Riley gripped his hand. She asked, "Adrian? Who is Ramona?"

He turned to her with a worried expression. Holding her hand tighter, he answered, "Riley, I think we cannot elude this any further. Ramona, she - she is related to your father."

When Adrian said that, Riley's face turned white. Her mouth fell open before she slammed back in her seat. She repeated, "Related to my father?"

"I know you said you don't want to know your father and be part of his life, but I think we can't help it," Adrian said.

"So you are saying that my life is in danger because of my father?" Riley asked Adrian, "Why would I want to know him, then?"

"Because obviously, we need to face him. We need to eliminate the threat," Adrian said.

Riley was about to answer when her phone rang. She became distracted and searched for her phone. After staring at her mobile for seconds, she muttered, "It's Mom. She has been calling since earlier."

Her phone rang again, and Riley answered: "Mom? What? You are at the villa? Something important? What?"

"What? Adrian? Mom, you can't say that. Adrian is my husband," Riley responded. "What? Mom?"

Adrian could hear Renee screaming on the other line, but he couldn't tell what she was talking about. However, fear could not help but creep into his heart as Riley stared at him doubtfully.

Riley ended the call in silence. Her hands were shaking as she gripped her phone tightly. When Adrian reached for her hand, Riley pulled her hand back.

"Riley, what's wrong?" Adrian asked. "What did you and your mom talk about?"

Riley began to cry. Her body tensed when she asked, "Adrian? Do you really love me?"

Adrian furrowed his brows. He responded, "What kind of question is that, Riley? Of course, I love you. Where is this coming from? What did Renee tell you?"

"Do you? Or are you using me to get what you want?" Riley asked. "Mom said you were using me all along to get the benefits from my father. All you wanted was the business deal so you would come out ahead of The King's Enterprises. Is that true?!"

Riley's scream was so loud that Clint had accidentally stepped on the brakes. They all jerked inside the car, and Riley nearly bumped her head against the glass window.

Horns were suddenly beeping on their vehicle, and Clint hurriedly returned to driving.

"Stop this. It's not good for the baby," Adrian begged. "We made our baby with love. That wasn't a lie, Riley. All those times we were together, now and then, it is real."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Riley crashed into Adrian's arms again. She said, "I don't know what came over me. It's just that Mom's words clouded my mind. I love you so much, Adrian and just the thought of you betraying me hurts so much. I was so angry!"

Adrian nodded. He caressed Riley's back and said, "It's okay. We will talk it out: you, me, and Renee. We will clear up everything when we arrive."

Riley continued to cry, even as they approached their home neighborhood. They were already at the gate when Riley clarified, "So, my father is -"

"I suspected that Charles Eros, the new head of the Eros family, is your father and that you are the real heiress of the Eros family, not Leni," Adrian confirmed.

From the rearview mirror, Clint nodded in Adrian's way, assuring him that he did the right thing and that it was finally time for Riley to know everything.

"A few months ago, during a celebration at the Eros' home, I entered Charles Eros' study. I caught him staring at a picture of a woman," Adrian revealed. "Back then, Charles told me that the woman in the picture was Leni's mother, the woman he loved."

"It would have been out of the ordinary, except the woman in the picture had an uncanny resemblance to you, Riley," Adrian shared. "That's when I started to look deeper and doubt Leni's identity."

"But how did Leni become me if I am Charles Eros' daughter? And who is this Ramona Myers?" Riley asked.

Adrian sucked in a deep breath and replied, "Ramona Myers is a scheming woman who will do anything to keep her position as a mistress of the Eros family; at least, that's what everyone thinks. And as for Leni, it's a long story."
