Billionaire Ex-Wife Comes Back Chapter 50 Her Fiancé.
A suitor?Alexandra pondered these words as she stood in front of her mirror, fully dressed for her so called date night. She was for no reason pleased with the idea, but she knew the moment she’d brought it up with that sixty two years old woman a brawl was sure to break out, or worse a duel.She huffed out and shook her head in disappointment. What a wonderfully useless bunch of leech she had been given as family members.Michael gently knocked on the door’ frame and stepped in, bowing his head respectfully at his employer. “The vehicle is ready Ms. Grey.” He informed.Alexandra nodded as she examined herself one last time in the mirror, smacked her bright red glossed lips together and then nodded in approval towards her reflection in the mirror.She looked perfect.“Let’s go Michael.” She commanded the assistant who still had his head lowered as she walked past him, heading for her vehicle.Throughout the drive to the Grey’s main mansion Alexandra kept her gaze trained outside as s
Billionaire Ex-Wife Comes Back Chapter 51 You Are Nothing But A Pawn.
Out of everybody in this whole vast world her grandmother had chosen Darius Perce to be her ‘Fiance’Oh hell no! No way in fucking hell was ‘that’ happening. She hated his freaking guts, and from the looks of their past encounters, he hated her just as much.“Child, why do you look so surprised?” Eleanor asked the noirette who was still standing at the door, mouth agape like a fish out of fresh water. “Darius dear?” Came Eleanor’s voice as she looked between the two and asked. “Do you both happen to know each other?”At that moment, Alexandra wanted to loudly bark out the words ‘As if!’, but composed herself and plainly responded as she tore her gaze away. “No.”“Yes.” Darius had happened to answer the very same second she delivered her answer.Alexandra so badly wanted to shot a nasty glare his way.Eleanor looked between the two youngsters and chuckled. “It seems to me that you are well acquainted with my granddaughter Darius?”“Granddaughter?” The male asked as he moved to take one
Billionaire Ex-Wife Comes Back Chapter 52 Poisoned!
Alexandra couldn’t remember when the color of her delicious meat soup had become red. She glanced into the plate of yellow liquid then at her grandmother who was also looking at her.Her heart began to pound, skipping several beats in-between as her mind brought up a thought.Had she been poisoned? But when?She glanced at the table, trying to figure out which dish had carried the key piece, but when she couldn’t deduct which dish had been poison, her gaze flew to her grandmother. The only person who she believed would have a motive to hurt her and the culprit.But before she could open her mouth and accused the elderly woman, another wave of rough cough ripped through her lips. Alexandra felt like her entire inside was being torn to shreds as her body shook with a new wave of cough.After it subsided, she glanced at her hand to see a new round of red drops on her palm. With shaky gaze, she looked towards Eleanor who looked calm and she knew.The last thing she saw before her vision w
Billionaire Ex-Wife Comes Back Chapter 53 Hospital Visit.
It was probably a stupid thing to say, but he couldn’t take it back now.Lucien’s gaze on him seemed to be tearing him in half. The atmosphere had surprisingly dropped in temperature, and if Darius wasn’t mistaking, the lighting of the hospital had dimmed as well.He knew he had done… said something he shouldn’t have. Probably pushed the wrong button of the country’s biggest business tycoon. If he’d survive the night after that stare, he’d thank God.When Lucien had not shook his hand, Darius retracted his hand and stuffed it into his pocket, exhaling through his lips in that moment.“Alexandra is currently resting.” He informed the glaring man.Sadly, his words fell on deaf ears. Lucien’s ears- for some reason, had been ringing since the announcement of his introduction. The blood inside his body seemed to rise up and boil along with it.Fiancé? Ha, what a classic prank!Lucien wasn’t one to pick at baseless proclamations, and as much as he wanted to grab Darius by his collar and pun
Billionaire Ex-Wife Comes Back Chapter 54 Petunia
It was some time during winter back at high school, one of her usual reoccurring dreams. Alexandra stood under the large oak tree of her school, dressed in her uniform. The person standing in front of her had his back turned towards her as he stared out across the vast field.Dry leaf slowly fell from the tree above, gathering around her feet like some romance teen movie. Except nothing about this moment was romantic. She could feel it, almost as if she was living this dream more vividly than the rest.Finally, when the boy turned around, half of his face had been blurred out by dark shades, his chestnut brown hair being the only thing Alexandra could barely recognized.“You know,” He spoke, the sound of his honey soft voice startling her. “Vengeance can be sweet, but destructive. If you feel like the whole world has wronged you so bad, why not just get stronger and show them what you’re truly made of. That way no one would dare mess with you again, right?”The sound of his last words
Billionaire Ex-Wife Comes Back Chapter 55 You Need Me Just As Much As I Need You.
Darius had returned with the doctors less than ten minutes later. They ran a few checks on her and clarified her health. However, she was instructed to stay on the hospital grounds for another few days, a week at tops. Apparently they needed to make sure the poison didn’t have any further side effects on her. Alexandra accepted without a fuss, although she hated hospitals, she was in no rush to leave, get back to work or pay her atrocious grandmother a visit.She decided to leave all that until when she was in the mood for it.“That’d be all for today.” The doctor said as he completed his check up on her. He packed his things and smiled at her. “Ms. Grey please be mindful of what you eat in the future, you were very lucky that your Fiancé was near you at that moment. Although the poison dose ingested was not fatal, it still could have caused a lot of damage to your body, coupled with your allergy.”The doctor had said so much, but out of all, Alexandra had only heard a select few befo
Billionaire Ex-Wife Comes Back Chapter 56 Garden Talk.
The next few days spent at the hospital went by quickly. During those three days, she had gotten her share of company and disturbance. Theodore for one, when he had found out about the poisoning, he turned beat red from anger, literally. She had gotten a ear full of scolding from him, had to make a few promises even she knew she wouldn’t be able to keep and promised to call him once she got discharged.However, that did not stop the blonde from popping up in her hospital room at least twice a day. During one of those occasions, he had a run in with Darius- who only showed up once in a blue moon, not like Alexandra cared; she was doing just fine without his presences and didn’t or wouldn’t need it anytime in the near future.Theodore and Darius however, seemed to hit it off pretty fast and became friends. The two chatted, laughed and exchanged numbers with each other despite the glare she had been shutting their way from across the room.All in all, Alexandra was utterly tired of stayi
Billionaire Ex-Wife Comes Back Chapter 57 Unwanted Boundaries.
One of the things Alexandra had not factored into her day… today was encountering Lucien. In her hospital room. Well then again, who would factor running into their ex husband slash business partner in their hospital wing?No one! No freaking sane person!“Bloody fuck!” Alexandra cursed aloud at the male sited leg crossed in one of her wing’s couch and placed her palm over her racing heart. “What the hell are you doing in my hospital room Lucien? You know there something called knocking?”“I did knock; you just didn’t seem to be in.” He admitted in a heartbeat as he adjusted on the couch, finding a more comfortable spot, making her scrunch up her face in disapproval.Why was he getting all comfortable like he owned the whole freaking hospital. She really prayed he actually didn't.“So you saw it fit to just barge in?” Alexandra scoffed loudly and matched over. “I think you’re beginning to forget your boundaries Mr. Albrecht.”“And what are they?” Those some how pissed her off. She fol

Mazikeen blinked. The girl in front of her with lush blonde hair imitated the same action. She blinked again and so did the reflection.Finally having had enough of the stare off with her reflection, the teen turned away from the mirror and sighed.Her eyes found the luxurious clock hung above the TV and she chewed on her inner check as each passing moment reminded her of her impending torment.It was the last Saturday of the month, and as per the long existing tradition, her family had to go over to the Langer Family Vila for a wholesome picnic time.Sure, any normal person would enjoy such outing, except her situation was different. The reason why she dreaded their usual family picnic was because of a certain noirette boy that always seemed to make her life a living hell each time she encountered him.Vincent Langer, the original ruler of hell. Or so she put him, but for some reason, only she did.Even her own mother thought he was a saint.Bloody hell, the whole Seattle saw him as
Billionaire Ex-Wife Comes Back Chapter 288 THEIR HAPPY EVER AFTER!
~Five years Later.~Alexandra stood in front of her parent's grave- both Cory, Nova and Miguel- dressed in a fashionable black dress that draped down as far as her knee.Her hair- which had now grown back to it's full length- was packed up neatly and rolled into a bun at the end, accompanied by the black net cap she had on her hair.Alexandra stood with a bouquet of white roses in her right hand and daisies from the nearby meadow on the left. Those were not only symbols of peace, love, and hope but also reminders that life was still going on. She looked around slowly as if giving herself a moment to reflect upon how things have changed since then.Five years ago, when she had lost everyone she loved and was shattered to the core after her divorce with Lucien, Alexandra thought her life would never be same again. She had felt helpless and hopeless that time even with all the power and must accomplish goals, but now as she looked at both her adoptive mother and Biological mother grave w
Billionaire Ex-Wife Comes Back Chapter 287 Fight Fate Until They Got The Happy Ending The Deserve
Alexandra rushed off to the location on her screen as soon as she could, even though she wasn't too kin on it. On her way there, she couldn't stop herself from asking all the what ifs, re-running even those possibilities that did not exist in her head as she drove.What if something happened to Darius?What if some enemy of hers got to him?What it Eleanor had sent someone after him?By the time she turned up in front of the given location, her mind was feeling with all sort of possiblities that she didn't even know that the house she had pulled up in front of was one of Darius's.It was only after she had rushed up to the front door and found it open that she took the time to examine her surrounding and this only made her worry all the more.Whoever she was going up against now had been smart enough to bypass Darius and his security and even broke into his house.Alexandra had felt her mind begining to reel once more when she calmed herself and reminded herself that she dealt with El
Billionaire Ex-Wife Comes Back Chapter 286 Wasn't This Supposed To Be Their Happy Needing?
The next two days after that passed by quietly. Alexandra hd released the tap of her father's black box footage to the police after turning in the driver and after a few days of searching, they found Eleanor passed out on the floor of her house in her paralysed state.Eleanor was admitted into a hospital under sever watch to take care of her and later on admitted into the prison's medical center while her trial was underway.Although she had been saved from the dehydration and over thinking that caused her to pass out, her case of paralysis couldn't be solved and even thought it could be, Alexandra made sure that that option was rendered invalid.Apart from that, the other development that had brought a smile to Alexandra's lips was when Leonardo was suddenly caught at the air port while trying to flee with Eleanor's last fortune under a fake name.He was charged with a few crimes, one of them being his illegal use of a fake identity and the other being his illegal stash of cash.Botto

~Day One Out Of Seven.~Alexandra returned to the Grey Manor that night after her conversation with Eleanor over the phone had ended.The first thing, or rather, the first person she saw as she stepped into the house was Darius. He was pacing around the living room for a while until he noticed Alexandra and quickly rushed to meet her."Alexa... Where were you?" He asked, his voice dripping with concern and worry.Alexandra softly sighed out. "Calm down, Darius." She said while gently stroking his hair. "I'm fine. I just had to take care of something little.""What?""I found out how Eleanor knew about my pregnancy. The waiter back at the cafe was a spy for her and he must have reported our conversation to her that day." Alexandra informed."What?" Darius was angry, but then seconds later, his face crumbled and a tinge of guilt set in.I'd the waiter had only reported their conversation that day and Eleanor found out about their unborn child, then it was his fault. He couldn't stop his
Billionaire Ex-Wife Comes Back Chapter 284 Taking Down The Final Boss.
Eleanor pressed the button and imagine in that moment how it all played out.The best part of it all being that Alexandra was finally out of the way and she had emerged victorious after the long battle.No other thought could have made her smile the way she did.Eleanor's train of thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her phone ringing. She frowned, not taking too lightly to the fact that one of her useless henchmen or sons were distrubing her moment of celebration.She reached for her phone and picked it up, ready to lash out brutally in whoever's name was written on her phone screen, but to her utter dismay, it was an unsaved number.Eleanor stared at the digits of numbers across her screen with creased brows.'Who is it this time?' She thought after a while as she answered the call and placed her phone to her ear."Who is this?" She asked sternly.The other end of the line was silent for a while. Eleanor could make out the sound of someone mumbling in the background and then th
Billionaire Ex-Wife Comes Back Chapter 283 Final Showdown.
Six out of seven of those days bad gone by. Eleanor had been unusually quiet. One would have almost thought that she bailed and ran away.But Alexandra knew better than that. She knew that the woman who had raised her in disguise as the perfect grandmother was more of a deadly predator than her sins gave her credit for.In other words, she isn't one to tuck her tail between her legs and run away. It was just a matter of time until she acted.'A matter of time...' Alexandra pondered those last few words as she watched as the last fragments of oranges, reds and yellows faded into a dark gray. The sunset had gone, and the blanket of night began to cover the world in the darkness of its shadow.After a while, she pulled her gaze away and sighed, focusing on the pile of work that was on her table.Because of Darius's over protectiveness, she had worked less in the last few days and barely ever came to the company. Today, she had escaped by miracle- miracle meaning that she had made more th
Billionaire Ex-Wife Comes Back Chapter 282 Let's Finally See What You're Made Off
For the first time in a long while, Alexandra felt panic shot through her as she read the letter in her hands. She allowed the paper drop to the floor after awhile as her thoughts became more loud than the sound of her heart beat.How was it possible? How could Eleanor have found out that she was pregnant?Alexandra thought, after all she had done everything in her power to make sure that Eleanor did not find out. To make sure that the news of her being pregnant did not reach the ears of any of her foe. Yet, here she was, hyperventilating over the fact that Eleanor had learnt of her child's existence while breathing like some dying cow.'Calm down, Alexandra.' she tried to calm herself as soon as she noticed how ragged her breathing was becoming.She found her way back to her bed and sag down, controlling her breathing and thoughts together. After a while, she picked up her phone and dailed Darius's number. The line rang for a few seconds as usual before Darius picked up."Alexei? Wha
Billionaire Ex-Wife Comes Back Chapter 281 A Present For My Unfortunate Grandchild.
Alexandra arrived at Albrecht Manor an hour later. She was welcomed nice and warmly, remembering her of the days when she once used to be their mistress and was looked down on, snickered at and even laughed at.Memories of the olden days flooding in made the blonde clench her teeth together. She bo longer wanted to think of those days. Her Chapter with the Albrecht family was over and sincerely speaking, she was happy with her life with Darius.Sure, she did get sad at times while thinking of all the grief she has had to endure and all the pain Eleanor has out her through, but Isabella's wonderful food and care, Alistair's headstrong way of supporting her, Darius's unlimited love and affection that grew by each day and her unborn baby made up for all that sadness.So now, she wanted to finally close things with the Albrecht family and return to her content life as soon as possible.Drawing in her breath, Alexandra prepared herself, carrying her shoulders well, before she stepped into
