Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Revenge 20: A Caught
AveryI paced back and forth in my room, my eyes fixed on my phone. Where was Clara? I needed updates on Nathaniel's whereabouts. The silence was suffocating, and my mind conjured up worst-case scenarios. I know he is not the kind of person to suddenly show emotions, but I could see how worried he was the other time. Just as I was about to give up hope, my phone rang."Clara!" I exclaimed, answering the call."Hey, Avery! I've got news," Clara said, her voice laced with excitement."What is it?" I asked, my heart racing."Nathaniel's grandma fell sick, and he was rushed to the hospital," Clara explained.I exhaled a sigh of relief. "That's all?""No, there's more," Clara continued. "Your stepmother and sister visited Madam Hart too. I was shocked when my source told me about it, I don’t know when both families became that close.” “Sasha and her mom must have a plan if they visit Madam Hart,” I said my curiosity piqued. "Do you know why?"Clara hesitated. "No idea, but I have a bad f
Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Revenge 21: The Argument
The car ride home was a simmering pot of tension, Sasha's anger boiling over with every passing mile. She couldn’t believe her mother could suddenly make her a laughing stock, she knew what she was doing and she had her own way of seducing a man not making her look desperate, how could she do this to her, hurting her ego? "How could you, Mother?" Sasha's voice seethed, her eyes fixed on the passing scenery. "Visiting Madam Hart in the hospital? That was not part of the plan. I wouldn’t have followed you if you mentioned it was Nathaniel’s grandma!” Mrs. Montgomery's calm demeanor only fueled Sasha's ire."I know what I'm doing, dear," her mother replied, checking her reflection in the rearview mirror.Sasha's scoff was incredulous. "You have no idea! You've ruined everything. Nathaniel will suspect I'm after him now. He'll think it's all business, and he'll push me away."The silence between them was oppressive, Sasha's frustration building with each passing moment."Why did you do
Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Revenge 22: Determined
Avery “Fuck!” I muttered under my breath. I couldn't believe Sasha saw me. The shock still lingered, my mind replaying the moment our eyes met. My heart was racing, my palms slick with sweat, and my grip on my purse became tight as the driver pulled up to Nathaniel's mansion, I hadn’t expected this encounter, it wasn’t part of what I had in mind at all. The imposing gates swung open, and the security guard nodded in recognition, his expression professional while mine remained neutral. "Good evening, Miss Avery," he said, his voice firm but polite. I forced a smile, still trying to shake off the tension. "Good evening. Is Mr. Hart in the building?” I asked with a kind smile on my face. “Yes,” he replied. The guard's eyes scanned the surrounding area before returning to me. "You're clear to enter ma’am, he asked us to let you in as soon as you arrive. “ “Thank you,” I nodded, my driver accelerating into the winding driveway. The mansion's facade came into view, its eleg

“Do you want me to help…”“Shut up! And get the hell out of my car!”Sasha screamed at the driver who jumped out of the car immediately, he wasn’t sure of what he had done but he knew he had made her angry. Sasha hissed and stepped out of the car, she slammed the car door shut, the metallic clang echoing through the evening air. Her anger and frustration boiled over, her chest heaving with each ragged breath. She stormed into the mansion, her heels clicking on the polished marble floor. The sound reverberated through the hallway, disturbing the eerie silence that was once in the mansion. "Mother!" she called out. “I am here! Where are you now?!” Mrs. Montgomery emerged from the study, a crystal glass of whiskey in hand, the liquid glowing in the soft light. Her expression remained calm, as she looked at Sasha who was an opposite of her, she was angry, livid must say. "Sasha, what's wrong?" she asked. “You shouldn’t work yourself up too much you know, you shouldn’t.” Sasha's eyes
Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Revenge 24: D-Day
AveryI stood before the mirror, my gaze locked on my reflection. A sly smile spread across my face as I slowly dressed, each movement deliberated. The black dress hugged my curves, its darkness a reflection of my intentions. What a sad day it’s going to be for the Montgomerys and all I can do is help them mourn, I chuckled a bit never knowing I could have such an intention towards the people I once called family. "I've waited for this moment for so long," I whispered to myself, my voice barely audible. The hatred I'd harbored for the Montgomerys simmered all over me. I adjusted the hat, ensuring it covered more than half my face. Anonymity was key tonight. I couldn't risk being recognized, since I haven’t cleared my case with the police, I might end up in prison instead of them if I am found. My thoughts swirled just as I swirled the glass of wine in my hand. The Montgomerys had destroyed me, left me for dead. But I'd risen, stronger and more determined. Tonight, I'd watch them
Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Revenge 25: Stay With Me
Avery I froze, my heart racing as the second gunshot echoed through the hall. This wasn't part of the plan. How could there be a sudden gunshot? Is there someone else who had plans for today, Nathaniel and I had agreed on something simple, no violence. What was happening?“I have to go back to the hall?” I mumbled to myself and Ethan arched his brows at me. “You can’t tell me you are walking into danger, people are running out and you want to go in there what if you are shot?!” Ethan yelled at me and I glared at him.“Then you should be happy I am completely gone, whatever I do is none of your business!” I said through gritted teeth and turned around to walk into the hall but Ethan grabbed my hand just in time. “Avery wait! This is stupid!” “Get your fucking hand off me!” I screamed at him but he refused to let me go, I pulled my hand angrily and scowled at him. “Don’t ever!” I growled and turned walking away. "Avery, wait!" I heard Ethan's frantic voice behind me, but I didn't

Nathaniel I watched intently as the prosecutors took the stage to question the Montgomerys. Finally, justice will be served. I was glad that everything was working perfectly just the way we had planned it, I tilted my head to search for Avery, I wanted to see the reaction on her face but I watched as she walked out of the hall, I wanted to go after her, perhaps everything was too much for her. I halted after taking my first step, I shouldn’t disturb her and she wouldn’t like us being in an open place together, she wouldn’t want anyone to see us together, so I tore my eyes from the door and focused on the victory dancing in front of me. But before the prosecutors could go any further, a sudden gunshot echoed through the hall. The crowd erupted into chaos, I was begging shocked. I hadn’t expected a sudden gunshot out of nowhere. I was suddenly scared hoping no one was going to hurt Avery. I need to find her! I need to take her out of this messy place. "Avery!" I yelled, frantically
Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Revenge 27: Getting a babysitter
AveryI slowly opened my eyes, blinking away the haze. The environment was quite different and I started panicking when I remembered what happened, I was shot in the chest, I quickly glanced at my chest and noticed I was wrapped in a bandage and then I turned to observe where I was. The first thing I saw was Nathaniel's peaceful face, his features relaxed in sleep, he held my hand as he slumped on the floor sleeping peacefully, my heart skipped a beat as I watched his relaxed features. His hair was mussed, falling across his forehead in soft waves. I reached out, my fingers trembling, and gently brushed the strands back. His skin was smooth, and inviting. It felt dreamy watching him this close and I couldn’t understand why my heart was beating so fast. Perhaps it was because I just survived a near-death experience. Nathaniel's eyelashes suddenly fluttered, and I quickly withdrew my hand, not wanting to wake him and at the same time I didn’t want him to know I had been watching hi

Avery I paced back and forth in my room, the thick carpet beneath my feet wearing down with each anxious step. The walls felt like they were closing in on me, the weight of the world pressing down on my chest. Every second felt like an eternity. My father… was he okay? Was he still alive? The uncertainty gnawed at my insides, the fear of losing him clouding every thought in my head. I couldn’t stop myself from running through the worst-case scenarios over and over, each one more horrific than the last.“Take a deep breath, Avery,” Clara’s voice broke through my spiraling thoughts. I hadn’t even noticed she had entered the room, but she stood by the door now, her brow furrowed with concern.“I can’t,” I replied, my voice tight, barely able to hide the tremor. “I don’t know what’s going on, Clara. My father could be in danger. I need to…”“You will know,” Clara said firmly, walking over to me and placing a hand on my shoulder. “Nathaniel’s going to take care of it. I’m sure of it. Your
Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Revenge 72: Find Him
Mrs. Montgomery’s heels clicked sharply on the polished floors of the hospital’s main corridor. She stepped forward with purpose. Today, her husband would die not by some tragic accident, but by her own hands. The last thread of his life would be severed, and everything he owned and everything he had promised her would finally be hers.She thought about Sasha and the things she had said. How Sasha had begged her to wait, to let nature take its course. But Mrs. Montgomery had never been one to wait. She had no patience for fate. No, she had worked too long, too hard, for too many years to let some accident stand in her way. She would finish what she had started.Her heart was a slow drumbeat in her chest as she reached Room 307, the door clearly marked with the name “Montgomery.” She gripped the handle, her fingers trembling, and turned it. The door creaked open, but what she saw inside stopped her cold.Empty.The bed, once cluttered with tubes, wires, and the frail form of her husban
Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Revenge 71: The Threat
NathanielI could feel the adrenaline surging through my veins even before Oliver finished speaking. Mr. Montgomery, the man who had always been the picture of strength, had collapsed. He was the kind of man who never showed weakness, someone who carried himself with an ironclad resolve, unbending in the face of adversity. So, hearing that he was in any sort of trouble felt like the ground had been ripped out from under me.I had to know what happened. Now.“Are you sure of what you are saying?” I asked and Oliver nodded “Yes I am very sure, there is no way I would have come up with fake news, I am telling you the truth.” “Olivia, what happened?” I demanded, my voice sharper than I meant. The words tumbled out faster than my brain could catch up.He was shaking her head, looking more flustered than I’d ever seen him. “I don’t know. I was just there when it happened. he just collapsed. They called the ambulance. I…” his voice trailed off, and I could see the worry on his face. The wo

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
