Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Revenge 11: A Warning
Sasha's eyes blazed with fury as she watched Nathaniel walk away. She couldn't believe that Ethan had messed up her carefully laid plans. She had spent weeks trying to get Nathaniel's attention, and finally, she had him right where she wanted him. But then Ethan had to go and ruin everything.How could he appear out of nowhere to spoil what she had planned, what if Avery suddenly popped out of nowhere, how was she going to protect herself? She turned to look at Ethan, her anger inevitable, it took a lot of self-control not to pounce on him. "You idiot!" she screamed, turning to face Ethan. "How could you be so stupid?"Ethan took a step back, looking taken aback by her anger. "Hey, I was just trying to know what you are trying to do, it seems you forget you have a man," he said, his voice defensive."I have a man?" Sasha laughed, a cold, angry sound. "You call yourself a man? You just ruined everything!"Ethan's face reddened with anger. "I'm tired of being treated like dirt, Sasha.
Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Revenge 12: Drowning in Sorrows
AveryI stared at my phone, my eyes glued to the screen as I watched the news. Montgomery Pharmaceuticals, the company that had almost been the death of me, was launching new drugs to cure mpox infections. A wicked smile spread across my face as I remembered the last time they had tried to launch a new drug. It was the same drug that had almost led to my demise, the same drug that had caused my whole family to betray me.I couldn't believe how long they had lived without any care in the world, oblivious to the pain and suffering they had caused me. My mind began to wander, consumed by thoughts of revenge and betrayal. I tried to shake off the memories, but they lingered, haunting me like a ghost.I took a deep breath and dialed Nathaniel's contact, my fingers moving swiftly over the screen. He answered on the first ring.“Avery? Are you okay?” He asked. "Hey, where are you?" I asked, trying to sound nonchalant. My emotions were biting me off and it was just too hard to keep calm. "I
Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Revenge 13: His Dilemma
NathanielI was exhausted, staring blankly at my computer screen as I tried to finish my work. But my mind kept wandering, and my eyes felt heavy with fatigue. I couldn't wait to go home and collapse onto my bed. I needed to get this done as soon as possible and go back home, I know I could work from home but I will end up falling asleep before I know it. Just as I was starting to focus, my phone rang, shrill in the silence. I groaned, not wanting to answer it, but something compelled me to pick up. I was shocked to see Avery’s name on the screen, I became worried immediately and picked up the call. I heard her voice trembling.I was shocked knowing something was wrong immediately. She never called me unless it was absolutely necessary, and even then, she usually referred to me as Mr. Hart, a reminder of our professional relationship. But today, she called me Nathaniel, and I knew something was wrong.My heart skipped a beat as I listened to her stammering on the phone. I tried to ca

Avery “Oh, Avery! How are you doing?” He asked as if he hadn’t expected me to come to his room, I smiled a bit and moved closer to Nathaniel, my eyes cast downward in embarrassment. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Hart," I whispered. "I'm so sorry for vomiting on you and messing up your clothes. For crying and everything, I shouldn’t have bothered you with my problems.” I laughed awkwardly. Nathaniel noticed how my fingers were crossed, I had never felt so nervous in a while and his expression softened, he stood up took his eyes off my hand, and placed a gentle hand on my shoulder. "It's okay, Avery," he said, his voice soothing. "Please, don't apologize. You're not well, and I'm just glad I could help. You know I told you, you can always come to me when anything is going wrong with you, okay?” I hated this! Why did I let my emotions get the best of me and I became vulnerable? My eyes were fixed on the floor as I replayed the events of the previous day in my head. I hated how vulnerable I h

Sasha turned to leave, but Ethan caught her arm, his eyes wide with shock. "Wait, what did you just say?" he asked, his voice trembling.Sasha turned back to face him, a sly smile spreading across her face. "I said I intend to seduce Nathaniel," she repeated, her voice dripping with malice.Ethan's eyes widened in horror. "What? Why would you do that?" he demanded, his grip on her arm tightening.Sasha shrugged, her smile never wavering. "I need power, Ethan. And you can't offer me that."Ethan's face fell, his eyes filling with hurt. "Our relationship means nothing to you, does it?" he asked, his voice cracking.Sasha's smile faltered for a moment before she regained her composure, she didn’t want him to remind her of everything that had happened in the past, Ethan was not just the man she needed anymore. "Don't be dramatic, Ethan," she said, her voice cold. "Our relationship was always about convenience. You needed a partner, and I needed a way to advance my career."Ethan's eyes na
Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Revenge 16: Trust and Worries
Avery I tapped my finger impatiently on the table, waiting for Nathaniel to join me. I wondered what was going on and why he suddenly walked out of the table, I couldn’t help but wonder if it was something that had to do with me. I tried not to worry or care about what was going on but I couldn’t help it, I knew something was wrong somewhere, I needed to find out what was truly going on but at the same time I felt I was prying into his privacy, perhaps it’s nothing that I have to bother about. Just then while I was getting drowned in my thoughts, Nathaniel walked in, his usual composed demeanor replaced by a troubled expression. His eyes seemed distant, and his jaw was clenched. I confirmed something was wrong immediately, for the little time I have known him, he was always composed and his demeanor never slipped.He sat down on the table looking at his food as if he was avoiding his gaze and I didn’t realize when the words slipped out of my mouth. "Mr. Hart, is everything okay?"
Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Revenge 17: Will You?
NathanielI excused myself from the dinner table, my phone buzzing in my pocket, I pulled out my phone and noticed it was Emily, my grandma’s caregiver who was calling me, I knew something was up immediately that caused my heart to skip a beat, I rushed out of the dining hall, answering the call."Mr. Hart, it's Emily, your grandma's caregiver," the voice on the other end said, panic evident in her tone.My heart sank immediately. "What's wrong? Tell me what happened Emily.” "It's your madam, Hart, Mr. Hart. Her health has taken a turn for the worse. We've rushed her to the hospital, I decided to let you know immediately, the doctor is already taking care of her.” I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. I swallowed hard trying to hide my emotions. "I'll be right there," I promised, trying to stay calm. I instructed Emily to stay with my grandma and assured her I'd arrive soon. “You will see me soon,” with that, I ended the call and placed my phone in my pocket. I took a deep breat
Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Revenge 18: Bitter Truth
Ethan nursed his drink, the music fading into the background as he struggled to comprehend the chaos in his mind. The dim lights of the bar seemed to mock him, a harsh reminder of his shattered dreams.How could this have happened to him when he thought he had his whole life together when he thought he figured everything and things would surely work the way he wanted? He thought back to Sasha, the girl he'd known his whole life. He'd fallen deeply in love with her the moment he laid eyes on her. He'd done everything in his power to make her happy, even marrying Avery when Sasha asked him to. But now, she was discarding him like yesterday's trash, all for Nathaniel.A man who doesn’t care about her, a man who doesn’t know where it all started from and they want him to just give up? On something he had worshiped and hoped for his whole life.The absurdity of it all hit Ethan like a ton of bricks, and he burst into laughter. The sound echoed through the bar, drawing curious glances from

AveryThe phone slipped from my trembling fingers, clattering to the ground with a sharp, unforgiving sound. My eyes remained glued to Nathaniel, still processing what he had just said. It felt as if my heart had stopped beating, my entire body frozen in shock. I could hear the ringing in my ears, louder than anything else, drowning out everything he was saying.“Your dad is in a coma, Avery.”The words echoed in my head, over and over, but none of them seemed real. This couldn’t be happening. My mind was fighting against it. It had to be some mistake, some cruel joke. But Nathaniel’s face… it wasn’t joking. His expression was serious, filled with concern, but that didn’t make it easier to believe.“No,” I whispered, shaking my head in disbelief. “No. That can’t be right. He’s fine. He is always fine.” My voice was small.Nathaniel stepped closer, crouching down to pick up my phone from the floor, but I barely noticed. My eyes were still locked on him, searching for some glimmer of re

By the time the next week rolled around, the plans to relocate the project team to Crescent Moon Pack were in their final stages. Everything was moving faster than I had expected. It felt like I had barely gotten my feet under me again after returning from the pack, and now I was heading back into their world. But this time, I wasn’t going to be there to stay. I had a project to manage, and my head was focused on the tasks ahead, not on the triplets or the complicated emotions that came with them. I only had one job to do, which was to do some research and avoid everything else. Ruby was also getting ready to leave. She’d been a great support to me, especially after everything that had happened with the triplets. But now, it was her turn. She had arranged an introduction between me and her mate before they traveled. She was insistent on it, and as much as I tried to avoid the subject, she wouldn’t let up. “I’m not going to leave without you meeting him,” she had said one evening whe

I sat in the study, the quiet hum of the house around me doing little to calm the storm swirling inside. My fingers absently tapped the edge of my desk, but I couldn’t focus on anything, nothing but her voice. “It’s disgusting, Lucas.”The words had landed heavier than I expected, heavier than I wanted to admit. They repeated in my mind, over and over, as though she was still standing in front of me, her eyes flashing with anger, her voice cutting through the space between us. Disgusting. The word felt like a punch. And I couldn’t quite shake the sting.I had gone too far, hadn’t I?I hadn’t meant to upset her, hadn’t meant to cross any lines. But watching her with Ryan tonight, seeing the way that man had looked at her and tried to touch her, I couldn’t sit by and pretend it was fine. She didn’t deserve that kind of treatment. But the way she’d turned on me, my attempt to protect her, to help, had been met with nothing but contempt.She doesn’t need me to protect her.That’s what her

When I regained consciousness, the world felt wrong. It was the kind of wrong you sense in your gut, but your mind is too clouded to process at first. My body ached, a deep, dull pain radiating from my neck and limbs. I tried to move, but the restraints holding me were tight, unforgiving. I could barely move my wrists, let alone my legs. My surroundings were unfamiliar, cold, metallic, and humming with the low, steady rumble of an engine. I blinked several times, trying to adjust to the dim light.The realization hit me slowly. I’m on a plane.I jerked my head to the side, feeling the sharp tug of the ropes, but nothing gave. There was no escape. The air around me was thin, carrying a stale scent that made my stomach churn. As I struggled to orient myself, I saw Elena. She was seated across from me, her gaze locked on mine, unwavering and predatory. “How long?” I rasped, my throat sore from the silence. My words felt foreign, like they hadn’t been used in days. “How long was I out?”

From where I stood, in the corner of their chamber, I noticed there was some other presence just like me, some other vampire like me was also present, and I could smell them.I watched as Agiel stabbed the girl on her chest, and I let out a grin, my whole body, thirsty for her blood, and as the man beside her took her away, I walked out of the room gently and unnoticed.I decided to head back to the vampire castle, but first I needed to know if what felt right, I needed to know if exactly there was another vampire.As soon as I was out of sight and into the bushes, I had the leaves rustle and I froze, not out of fear but the fact that I know that, whoever that is knows I'm a vampire.“Show yourself.” I said, as I lowered the hood of the jacket I was wearing, to cover my face, and protect me from the blazing sun.“Show yourself already and don't hide inside the bushes.” I said, looking around me.“Draven?” The voice called, out of surprise, I turned around, my eyes widened in disbelief

The door slammed behind Kingston, the echo lingering in the air like a warning. Jason stood by the window, his posture tense and jaw clenched, as though he was ready to throw someone else out if need be. The room felt charged, as though an unspoken threat lingered in every corner. I watched as Kingston walked to his car, turning around severally with a puzzled look on his face. “What the hell was that about?” I finally asked, breaking the heavy silence. My voice sounded stronger than I felt, but I wasn’t going to let Jason’s mood intimidate me.Jason turned, his dark eyes meeting mine with a stormy intensity. “You need to stay away from him, Willow. All of you do.”Ruby, seated on the couch, raised an eyebrow. “And why’s that? He seemed creepy, sure, but what’s the big deal?”Jason’s lips pressed into a hard line. “He’s not a good person, that’s the big deal. Trust me on this one. A few years ago, I worked on a case where Kingston was involved. I can’t go into details, but he’s bad n

I could see the pain and anger in Annalise's eyes as Agiel confessed all that he had done in the past. I couldn't help but feel her pain as she sat close to me, her hands trembling with pain and anger.Everyone in the room was horrified at what Agiel had done. The leader of the council ordered the guards to take him away as he would be executed in some days time.Annalise pulled away from my hug, as the guards walked Agiel out of the room, but as soon as Agiel was close to Annalise's side of the table, he tackled the guard and lunged at Annalise with a knife, stabbing her on the chest before I could even blink an eye.I stood frozen, breath caught in my throat as my eyes widened in disbelief. My face drained of color, lips parted slightly, as if trying to speak, but no words came out.A shiver ran through me, and my hands trembled, as I tried to touch the wounded part of her chest, my heart pounded erratically, as I couldn't tear my gaze from the horrible scene, unable to fully compre

Days after what Xavier said, I decided to give the Eligara members a chance, so we set out to the crimson shadow pack and also with Agiel as a prisoner.Once we reached the crimson shadow pack, we headed to the council of Eligara and met them patiently waiting for us.As we entered the chamber, we were given a warm welcome, and proceeded to having our seats while Agiel was cuffed and made to stand in the center of the room.I sat at the council table, my fingers tapping impatiently against the wood, I still wasn't happy with them and I wanted to get this done with as soon as possible.My jaw was set tight and a low growl, rumbled in my throat, as I watched some council members droning on about matters that I'm not concerned with as they approached the table to take their seat.My sharp gaze flickered around the room, catching the indifferent faces of those who seemed worlds apart from the primal instinct thrumming within me.As the council members droned on while getting ready to addr
