Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 19

“That’s really a personal issue, so I can’t say much,” Remy replied. “But the Sullivans already have three of W’s original paintings. Trust me, he is genuinely looking for W.”

The waiter brought over plates of beautiful food, each dish more tempting than the last.

Wiona excused herself, saying she needed to make a call, though she mostly just wanted to step out for some air.

Right then, her phone rang. It was Tina, her voice bubbling with excitement. “Wiona, I’ve got everything ready for you!”

She dropped her voice, almost conspiratorial. “Do you think I could leak just a little something? Let everyone know Vivian is back and making waves?”

“Sorry, Tina, not this time,” Wiona said gently. “Let’s keep this set a secret for now. I want to give it as a gift.”

She paused, then smiled. “I’ll get you a new draft in a few days. We can meet up and really talk about my return to the design world.”

Tina was so excited she could barely stay on the line. “Thank goodness, Wiona! I can’t tell you how much we’ve missed you. The whole fashion scene has felt empty without you.”

“You’re Vivian, the genius designer! You became famous at sixteen. Every single collection sold out instantly. How many girls your age have that kind of talent?”

Wiona felt her cheeks grow warm at the praise. She pressed a finger to her lips, lowering her voice. “Tina, can you keep this between us?”

“Of course, I got carried away. Don’t worry, no one heard a thing,” Tina promised. “How about I swing by tomorrow and drop off everything? I haven’t seen you in forever. I really miss you.”

Wiona laughed softly. “Tomorrow’s perfect. See you then.”

She hung up, ready to head back to her table, but as she passed a private dining room, she caught a glimpse of two painfully familiar faces.

Kellen and Jace.

Just her luck. Even a dinner couldn’t go smoothly.

The sliding door wasn’t fully closed. Wiona hesitated, watching as the waiter disappeared down the hall.

Inside, Kellen’s voice was a low whine. “Jace, last night I went to the banquet as your secretary, and everyone thought I was just some mistress. How are you going to make it up to me? That was humiliating.”

Jace’s tone was warm, almost teasing. “Dinner isn’t enough?

“I even tried to give you a credit card, but you wouldn’t take it. So, what do you want? Whatever it is, if I have it, it’s yours.”

Kellen’s reply was full of hurt. “I was your real girlfriend, you know. If Wiona hadn’t shown up, we never would have been forced apart.

“So what if you married her? I don’t want you touching her.
