His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

A storm churned in the depths of Thaddeus's dark eyes, impossible to suppress.

Suddenly, a sharp, blinding pain exploded deep inside his skull, as if something wild and uncontrollable was crashing around in his brain, threatening to split it open.

Evadne...

Somewhere in the furthest recesses of his mind, floating and distant, he heard himself calling out her name.

"Thaddeus? Thaddeus? Are you alright? You don't look so good," Chad asked with genuine concern.

Thaddeus pressed his tongue hard against his teeth, squeezing his reddened eyes shut for a moment.

"I'm fine."

"I wanted to tell you because, down the line, if I start pursuing Ms. Evadne more openly, I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable about it. I know you two have already broken up, but you loved each other once, and I respect that."

Chad's eyes softened, a hint of a smile playing at the corners. "I don't want you to think I'm trying to steal her away from you. I just hope I can go after the woman I care about, fair and square, without letting anyone else's feelings get in the way."

The pain in Thaddeus's head blurred his vision. Desperate to keep Chad from noticing, he hurried to end the conversation.
