Goodbye Forever Ex-Husband (by Ammund) novel Chapter 35

HAPTER 035

OLIVIA’S POV

I didn’t speak to him again throughout the journey. I just stared out the window, watching as the city lights blurred past us. The evening sky had darkened, mirroring the weight in my chest. There was no other way out, so I had to agree to his condition. -at least for now.

My mind was still reeling from everything that had happened. The staged accident, the blackmail, the fact that I was being forced back into this prison of a marriage. I should have known better than to meet Adrian tonight. I should have listened to Julian. Now, I was trapped again.

The convoy slowed as we approached his estate, and soon we were passing through the tall iron gates. My heart clenched as the sight of the mansion came into view. I had promised myself I would never set foot here again, yet here I was.

The cars pulled up in the parking lot, and one of his drivers quickly stepped out to open the door for both of us. The moment I stepped out, the familiar scent of the mansion hit me, a mix of rich mahogany, cold marble, and something distinctly Adrian, Nothing had changed. The whole place still looked as lifeless as ever–cold, empty, and suffocating.

As I walked in, my eyes immediately scanned the space, searching for Dora. My fists clenched at the thought of seeing her. If she was here, I was ready to give her the slap she deserved for what she did to me the last time we met.

I spotted a maid passing by and quickly stopped her.

“Welcome back, madam,” she said with a polite bow.

I ignored the greeting. “Is there any other woman in the house?”

The maid blinked, looking confused for a second before answering, “Apart from the maids, there’s no other woman here.”

I nodded, dismissing her. As much as I despised the thought of being under the same roof as Dora, a small part of me had wanted her here–so I could teach her a lesson myself.

Adrian didn’t say another word to me. He simply turned on his heel and walked straight toward his library, not sparing me another glance.

Good. I didn’t want to see him either.

Seeing this as my opportunity, thuccessfully unlocked! taircase and made my way to the master bedroom, shutting the door firmly behind me.

My hands trembled slightly as I dug through my purse for my phone. The moment I found it, I quickly dialed Julian’s number.

CHAPTER 035

After a few rings, he picked up.

“Olivia, where are you?” His voice was sharp with concern.

“I’m back at Adrian’s place,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “Your driver told you everything that happened, right?”

“Yes, he did,” Julian said, his tone tightening. “I know how bad the situation might sound, but Adrian can’t help you. Just come back to my place so we can figure this out.”

1 let out a shaky breath. “Right now, Adrian is the only person that can help me. Your driver only told you half of the story.”

“What do you mean?” Julian asked, confusion lacing his voice.

I swallowed hard and explained everything–how Adrian had staged the accident, how he was blackmailing me into staying with him, and how he had orchestrated everything from the very beginning.

Silence followed for a moment before Julian finally spoke.

“Damn,” he muttered.

And I knew that tone, even Julian knew there was no other way out, and he was the type of person that always finds a solution

“I can play along and stay here until we figure out a way out of this mess,” I said, trying to sound more confident than I felt.

“Evidence,” Julian said.
