HEARTLESS HUSBAND CHASE HIS EX-WIFE novel Chapter 1

CELINE’s POV

-

After I fixed myself, I left the mansion and hailed a taxi that came into my view. I right away told the taxi driver to take me to Rodeo drive.

I will buy my husband Lance a present. Today is our third year anniversary. I felt that he might be busy this whole day and there is a possibility that he will come home late, but I still want to celebrate our wedding anniversary even if it’s simple and there is a possibility that we can celebrate it late.

After I finish buying a gift for him, I plan to cook him his favorite food.

Lance and I, our marriage, was an arranged marriage. Prior to our marriage, I had no knowledge of him except his name and the extent of his impact on various matters. After all, he is a businessperson and a mafia boss.

When I initially discovered Lance’s involvement in the mafia, fear overwhelmed me. I don’t know much about the mafia thing. The only thing I am aware of is that they are dangerous individuals. But at that point, my love for Lance prevailed.

Lance and I started not loving each other. He solely needed a bride then, so he agreed to marry me. In my case, I agreed because of my parents. Throughout the three years Lance and I were together, despite my awareness of his lack of love and his cold treatment towards me, my affection for him grew. Whenever I am with him, I feel safe.

Arriving at Rodeo Drive, I walked around and looked for something I could buy: a gift for Lance. However, almost two hours have passed and I still have found nothing that I can give him as a gift.

Lance already has all expensive and luxury items and brands. My husband loves cars but I don’t have money to buy him any kind of car.

When I saw an empty bench, I sat on it and reached out to Christine, who had the capacity to aid me. She was a friend of Lance who also became my friend.

Christine is a nice person, a loving wife, a wonderful mother and happily married. During her second wedding with her husband, I was there and I could see how happy she and her husband were. Christine told me that starting her and her husband’s marriage was not good either, but looking at it, it seems hard to imagine that they didn’t have problems in their marriage and it was obvious to them that they loved each other.

Just two rings before Christine answered my call. “Hey, Celine, what’s up?”

“Hi, sorry for the inconvenience and the sudden call.”

“Of course not. You are not a nuisance, you called me at the right time, because my son just fell asleep. Why were you calling by the way?”

“Uh, it’s Lance and I’s third year wedding anniversary today.”

“Omg!” I heard her scream but she immediately took it back because her two-year-old son might have woken up. “Congratulations!” she happily shouted in a whisper on the other line.

“Thank you. I was called because I wanted to give Lance a present. I still don’t know what I should give him. He already has all the expensive and luxury brands, so I don’t know. I wonder if you can give me a suggestion about what I must give to him.”

“Oh, right–wait. Why don’t you give him a necktie?”

“A necktie?” I rustle.
