Out of Your Control

Out of Your Control | Billionaire Secret Marriage Romance

I’ve been in love with Li Huaijing for ten years.

We’ve been in an arranged business marriage for four, with a three-year-old son and another little one currently six weeks along in my belly.

On paper, it sounds like a fairytale. But reality is a bitter pill: I was never the woman in his heart. His heart belonged to his white moonlight, his first love.

I used to be naive enough to think that with everything I brought to the table, I could eventually warm his frozen heart. I realize now that wasn’t confidence, it was delusion. Outside of the bedroom, he never showed me a single drop of tenderness.

A month ago, I finally summoned the courage to ask for a divorce.

“Why?” he had asked.

“I don’t love you anymore,” I replied.

He lost his temper, slammed the door, and walked out.

I honestly didn’t get it. I was stepping aside for his precious first love. Shouldn’t he be throwing a party to celebrate? What on earth was he throwin’ a fit for?

After that day, though, his usual stoic composure completely unraveled.

He pinned me by the waist, leaned down to gently nip at my earlobe, and rasped in a low, husky voice, “Su Niannian, you’re the only one I love.”

“Four years ago, with my standing, I didn’t need a business marriage with anyone.”

“Wife… won’t you call me ‘husband’ just once?”
