His Abandoned Wife Is A Billionaire Heiress

Olivia’s POV

“Just pray nothing happens to her or the baby, or you will regret the day you ever crossed this family,” Aunt Chloe threatened, her eyes blazing with anger as the doctor examined Juliana while I stood there, frozen like a statue.

I watched in silence as my husband fussed over her, rushing to her side as though I didn’t even exist. He didn’t care how much all of this was hurting me. He didn’t even bother to hear my side of the story. She had accused me of stabbing her, and without hesitation, he choose to believe her instead of me.

Of all days… why today?

Today was supposed to be special for the two of us— it was our fifth wedding anniversary, for goodness sake!

I swear, I felt like I am slowly losing my mind as a dry, mirthless laugh suddenly escaped my lips.

“And what’s so funny about this? Do you think trying to kill someone is amusing?” Lauren asked, her voice trembling with anger.

I didn’t respond. I just couldn’t stop laughing until I suddenly felt a firm grip on my wrist.

It was my husband, his eyes blazing with fury as he dragged me out to the hospital terrace.

“What’s wrong with you, Olivia? How can you disrespect my aunt like that? Do you even understand the gravity of what you’ve done?” he scolded, his voice stern, like a father reprimanding his child.

I stared at him for a moment, before yanking my wrist free, my anger finally boiling over, and before I could stop myself, I had slapped him hard across the face.

His cheek instantly turned red as his eyes widened in shock.

I’m sure he never expected that.

Never in all our years together had I dared to defy him.

But enough is enough!

“I’m not the same submissive girl you once knew, Daniel. The same naive girl you all walked over, I’m not that girl anymore!” I declared, my voice firm despite the fear creeping into my heart.

Daniel’s anger flared even more.

“Are you out of your mind?! What the hell is wrong with you?!” he roared, grabbing my wrist so tightly that it sent a sharp pain through my skin.

He shoved me against the wall, tightening his grip very tightly, making me winced in pain as his fingers dug painfully into my skin.

“Teach her a lesson she will never forget, Daniel! Deal with her!” Lauren shouted, fueling his rage.

“Let go of me, Daniel!” I cried, struggling desperately to free myself, but his grip was too strong. “You’re hurting me, Daniel. Please… let go of me!” My voice cracked as tears welled up in my eyes.

I couldn’t believe it had come to this.

I couldn’t believe our marriage had fallen apart this badly.

All I had ever wanted from him was his love and affection.

I never asked for too much.

Slowly, his grip loosened, and the fury in his eyes faded. As if he had done what he shouldn’t.

“Olivia… I… I’m sor… fuck!” he hissed, running a frustrated hand through his hair.

The guilt written all over his face suddenly gave me a hope.

And maybe… just maybe he was finally going to apologize sincerely.

In an instant, all my anger melted away.

Despite everything he had done to me, I realized I still loved him. And If his apology was genuine, I am willing to forgive him. I wanted my husband back. I wanted to save him from the woman who had come between us.

“Yes, Daniel… You wanted to say something. Go on… I’m listening,” I said softly, my eyes filled with hope.

He sighed deeply before gently cupping my cheeks.

“You know how much this empire means to me, don’t you? With Juliana by my side, I’m closer than ever to securing it. She’s carrying my child, and I don’t want to upset her. If you truly love me, you’ll do this one thing for me, won’t you?”

“W-what… what are you talking about?” I stammered, confusion quickly giving way to anger.

“Just admit you tried to hurt her, and this will all be over. I’ll speak to her parents, and everyone will forgive you. There won’t be any need for you to—”

“ENOUGH!” I screamed, cutting him off.

My glare swept across Daniel, Aunt Chloe, and Lauren, who were standing only a few feet away.

“What have I ever done to deserve this, Daniel? All I’ve ever done is love you unconditionally. Even when you hurt me… even when you treated me like I meant nothing… I endured it all without questioning you because I loved you. But what have you ever done for me in return? Nothing! You’ve done nothing but cause me pain!” I cried, my voice echoing through the entire hallway.

Without warning, someone spun me around violently.

And the next second… A burning slap landed across my face.

I instinctively held my stinging cheek as tears streamed uncontrollably down my face.

My gaze slowly shifted from Aunt Chloe to my husband in disbelief.

I was hurt.

I was shattered.

I felt betrayed.

Yet he didn’t even flinch.

He didn’t even bother to defend me against his aunt’s constant humiliation.

“Look, Daniel, I don’t care how you do it, but you need to clean up the mess she created. We cannot afford to make enemies with the Carter’s family, or else… well, I’m sure you understand the consequences. I don’t need to remind you,” Aunt Chloe hissed before shooting me one last venomous glare.

Then she turned and walked away, with Lauren following closely behind.

Ignoring Daniel’s angry voice calling after me, I rushed back into Juliana’s room.

Just as I was about to expose her for who she is, Daniel grabbed my wrist again and slammed me against the wall.

“What the hell is wrong with you? Have you completely lost your mind? It seems you’re tired of this marriage, aren’t you? Who is he? Who’s the bastard making you behave like this?” he growled, his eyes burning with rage.

I stared at him for a long moment before letting out another dry, bitter laugh.

“Wow…” I muttered in disbelief.

I had never stood up to him.

Never for once have I ever raised my voice.

I had never challenged him.

And now that I finally defended myself, the first thing that came to his mind was that another man had influenced me?

What a joke.

“So cheating on me with your ex-girlfriend for an entire year isn’t enough? Now you’re accusing me of doing exactly what you’ve been doing?” I asked, my voice filled with pain.

“So that’s why you wanted to kill her? What about the baby she’s carrying?” Daniel shot back without hesitation.

I looked at him with nothing but disappointment and disgust.

Not even a single trace of remorse.

Not a trace of guilt at all.

I walked toward Juliana, who immediately began crying out dramatically.

“Baby! Stop her, please! She’s coming closer! She’s going to hurt me again!”

“Please, Olivia… stop. Don’t do this,” Daniel pleaded.

Before he could stop me, I quickly lifted Juliana’s blouse, exposing the so-called stab wound on her lower abdomen.

“Look at this, Daniel! There’s no wound here! Not even a scar! She’s been lying to you!”

I pointed directly at the tiny scratch on her stomach.

“Look closely! Does this look like a deep stab wound to you? If I had really wanted to kill her, don’t you think I would have made sure she didn’t survive it? For goodness sake, this is nothing more than a tiny scratch! She deceived everyone… INCLUDING YOU!” I shouted.

Juliana’s face instantly turned pale. Yet she still refused to admit the truth.

She slapped my hand away and hurriedly pulled her clothes back down.

“Don’t listen to her, baby. She’s obviously lying,” she said, her voice shaking.

What hurt me the most wasn’t even Juliana’s lies. It was the fact that Daniel was still willing to believe her over me.

“Then why don’t you check the CCTV footage? If I really attacked her, the cameras would have recorded everything. We have security cameras, don’t we?” I demanded desperately.

Daniel looked from me to Juliana, uncertainty clouding his expression.

He knew I wouldn’t bring up the CCTV unless I was absolutely certain it would prove my innocence.

“Is this true?” he asked Juliana, his voice low and firm. “Did you make everyone believe Olivia attacked you?”

His eyes narrowed dangerously. “Don’t you dare lie to me, Juliana because I will check the CCTV footage myself.”

Her composure instantly crumbled as soon as she heard Daniel said that.

“B-baby… it’s… it’s not true. I… I didn’t do it,” she stammered, still trying to lie.

But Daniel’s expression had already changed.

Disappointment.

Anger.

And betrayal.

“I won’t ask again, Juliana,” he warned through clenched teeth. “Did… you… do… this… to… yourself?”

Each word carried a chilling warning.

“I’m… I’m sorry, baby. It’s true… I did it to myself,” she confessed, her hands trembling. “Please forgive me. I only wanted her out of our lives. As long as she’s in the picture, I’ll never have all of your attention.”

She reached for his hand, but he pushed her away.

Regret and guilt filled his eyes as he slowly turned to face me.

“Olivia… I-I’m so sorry for not trusting you. I should have believed you when you kept insisting that you didn’t hurt her,” he pleaded.

But I felt… Nothing.

If he had apologized just a few minutes ago, I would have been the happiest woman alive. I would have forgiven him without a second thought. But now… All I felt was resentment.

I am done with him.

I am done with his toxic family.

I am done being treated like trash.

“I’m sorry, Daniel Cooper, but it’s too late for your apology. You had your chance… no, not just one chance. You had countless chances, and you wasted every single one of them. At this point…. I’m done.”

Daniel frowned in confusion. “What do you mean by that?”

“It means I’m no longer interested in this toxic prison you call a marriage.”

Then I looked him straight in the eyes and added, “I WANT A DIVORCE!”
