Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Revenge 36: A threat
Avery I sniffled, tears streaming down my face as I walked towards Nathaniel's car. The tension between us was palpable. "Avery, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you. I was just worried," Nathaniel's voice was laced with regret, filling the air as we drove. I remained silent, unable to speak through my sobs. Nathaniel's hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles white. "I shouldn't have screamed at you. Please forgive me," he pleaded. I shook my head, trying to calm down. The city blurred outside the window, a kaleidoscope of colors. "It's so wrong of me, I know that. It was just that..." Nathaniel paused, glancing at me. I turned to look at him, his eyes searching for forgiveness. "It's fine, Nathaniel. You should stop apologizing. Okay?" I said, trying to reassure him. Nathaniel nodded, his expression still etched with concern. We arrived at the mansion, and I hastily exited the car, eager to compose myself. Nathaniel followed closely, his concerned eyes n

Nathaniel I sat in my office, staring blankly at the paper in front of me. The cryptic message sent to Avery's phone had been weighing heavily on my mind. Who could have written such a thing? And how did they know she was alive?"Impossible," I muttered to myself. "No one knows her new contact information."My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door."Enter," I called out.Oliver stepped inside, his expression professional. "Sir, the investigation regarding the charity event is complete.""And?" I asked, my eyes still fixed on the paper."Nothing out of the ordinary, sir. The Montgomerys seem clean," Oliver replied.I nodded, though my mind was still on Avery's message. "Very well. I'll attend the event to oversee things personally. Ensure everything runs smoothly."Oliver nodded. "Yes, sir. Shall I—""Just keep digging, Oliver. I want to know if anything suspicious has been going on with the Montgomerys," I instructed.Oliver's expression remained neutral. "As you wish, sir

AveryI paced back and forth in my living room, the phone still glued to my ear. Clara's reassuring voice calmed my frazzled nerves, but my mind raced with questions."Avery, slow down, what's going on?" Clara asked, concern etching her tone."I got this weird message," I explained, trying to steady my breath. "No name, no number. Just those chilling words. I don’t know how this person got my contact with the fact it’s a new one and I didn’t share it with people, something terrifying must be going on!” Clara gasped. "Oh my god, that's terrifying! I know how you must feel right now but you need to calm down, Do you think it's related to Ethan or the Montgomerys?”"I have no idea," I admitted, frustration creeping in. "That's what's driving me crazy. I've been racking my brain, but nothing comes to mind.""Don't worry, Ave," Clara soothed. "I'll dig into it. We'll figure out who's behind this."Just as Clara was about to continue, a knock at the door interrupted our conversation."Hold

NathanielI glanced at my wristwatch for what felt like the hundredth time, sighing heavily as I rubbed my temples. Another summons from Grandma. I loved spending time with her, but lately, our conversations had become predictable and annoying."The Montgomerys this, Sasha that," I muttered to myself, shaking my head. Grandma's fixation on their family was starting to grate on me.But I had promised Avery I'd play along. Time to put on a show. I gathered my thoughts, grabbed my jacket, and headed out of the office.The drive to Grandma's mansion was a short one, and before I knew it, I was pulling up to the grand entrance. The butler greeted me with a nod, and I made my way to Grandma's favorite sitting room.As I entered, Grandma's warm smile greeted me, and she opened her arms for a hug."Nathaniel, dear! I'm so glad you came," she said, squeezing me tightly."Sorry about last time, Grandma," I apologized, trying to sound sincere. "I had something urgent to attend to."Grandma's eye

Nathaniel I gripped the steering wheel tighter, my anger still simmering from the encounter with Ethan. Who did he think he was, laughing at me like that? I took a deep breath, trying to shake off the irritation. As I drove back to the mansion, my thoughts shifted to Avery. I needed to ensure her safety above all else. I wouldn't let anyone harm her, especially not the Montgomerys. My gaze wandered to the side of the road, and I noticed a small flower shop. On a whim, I pulled over and parked the car. A bouquet of flowers might lift Avery's spirits, and I longed to see her radiant smile. I stepped into the shop, greeted by the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the warm smile of the florist. "Welcome to Petals and Posies! How can I help you, sir?" Her bright blue eyes sparkled, and I found myself returning her smile. "Hi. I'd like to get a bouquet for someone special. Something to brighten her day." "Aww, that's so sweet!" She nodded enthusiastically. "What's her favorite flowe

AveryI woke up feeling refreshed, my body stretched out across the soft mattress. For a moment, I forgot about the chaos that had been brewing inside me. But as my gaze drifted to the person lying beside me, my face flushed with embarrassment. Nathaniel, with his chiseled features and piercing eyes, was watching me with a gentle smile.Oh no, oh no, oh no. How could I have asked him to stay over? I thought, mortified. The memories of last night's desperation flooded back, the tears, the pleas, the vulnerability. I had broken down in front of him, and now, I couldn't bear to face him. I had always tried to remain or look strong but it seems the wall I had spent so much time building suddenly started cracking yesterday. I quickly grabbed the pillow and covered my face, trying to hide from my own embarrassment. "What am I doing?" I whispered to myself."Avery, are you okay?" Nathaniel's deep voice asked, his hand brushing against mine.I hesitated, still hiding behind the pillow. "Yeah

Mrs. Montgomery sat behind her sleek, mahogany desk, scanning through the files spread out before her. Her eyes narrowed as she scrutinized every detail, her mind racing with strategies and counter-strategies. Sasha suddenly burst into the room, her face twisted in anger."Mother, have you seen the event plan?" Sasha demanded, her voice low and urgent.Mrs. Montgomery looked up, a hint of amusement dancing in her eyes. "Of course, dear. What's bothering you?"Sasha paced across the room, her heels clicking on the polished floor. "They're going to mention Avery at the end of the event. Why bring her up now? Everyone's forgotten about her."Mrs. Montgomery leaned back in her chair, steepling her fingers together. "That's exactly why we need to bring her up, Sasha. You still have a lot to learn if you want to survive in this world."Sasha stopped pacing, her brow furrowed. "What do you mean?"Mrs. Montgomery's smile grew wider. "Avery's not just anyone, Sasha. She's a threat. And she's s

Avery’s POV I paced around my living room, frustration simmering beneath my surface. Nathaniel had forbidden me from attending the charity event, citing safety concerns. I understood his reasoning, but it didn't quell my desire to be there, to witness the proceedings firsthand. I snatched my phone and settled into the couch, flipping through the channels until I found the live broadcast of the event. The camera panned across the crowded room, showing familiar faces and lavish decorations. Sasha took the stage, her confident smile radiating through the screen. "Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, welcome to tonight's charity gala. Tonight, we gather to support a noble cause, one that touches the hearts of many." I listened intently, my anger simmering as Sasha spoke about the Montgomery family's philanthropic efforts. I kept on watching and I saw the bidding people made, I knew that my stepmother had used this as an opportunity to milk from the elites, I groaned at each interval

Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Revenge 122:
It was already a week since the tragic incident at the pack. Everyone had been trying to move on from what happened, including myself. I have made so much progress in trying to make peace with my past some that I could focus on myself and achieve my dreams since I was still young. Jasper had made significant progress in trying to beg me to forgive him. I guess there are some things that you forgive but you cannot forget. The fact that you can't forget it makes it hard for you to actually hold on to the forgiveness.After all was said and done, I finally decided that it was time to go back to my parents. They must have been worried for months now that I had been away from the house. I know they would be mad but I am ready to take all the blame and I hope that they understand that I did it because I thought it was going to help me heal rapidly. As I sat there on the edge of the bed in the room, lost in thoughts. A knock suddenly came on the door, jolting me from my reverie as I looked a

“Thank you for showing me around the pack. You don't know what this actually means to me. I hope we do this type of thing more often.” I said in a low tone as I tilted my head to look at Jake who had been taking me round the pack since. He nodded his head slightly, looking away as if he didn't know how to reply to what I said. He chuckled and then turned back to look at me before he started to talk.“I will be entirely glad to do this with you again. I so much enjoyed the company. I don't know about you, but I really did enjoy the company.” I made a scrunching face immediately. “How could he say that? I did enjoy the company and that was why I asked that we did this more often.” I thought for a moment and then took a deep breath as I tilted my head away. We soon arrived at the front of the pack, and he halted his steps immediately, looking into my eyes for a moment. I knew there was something he wanted to say, but I just could not place my hand around it. I waited anxiously for him to

“Authorities are searching for a twenty eight year old Nicola Spencer, wanted for murder charges and a lot of other criminal offenses. Beware of her…”I switched off the television and threw the remote control far away. I couldn’t watch the television anymore without seeing my face in there, I couldn’t read the papers without my name being there. Ryker had really outdone himself in order to get to me. The news was everywhere. Every station, every headline, every social media feed I could think of, my name was all over the place. I had never imagined my life would come to this. A fugitive. I never thought I would ever be branded a murderer. The walls of the shabby motel seemed like they were closing in on me, suffocating me. The overhead light flickered and buzzed which was the only sound in the room. I removed my heels and threw it at the lights. It flickered again but it didn’t stop buzzing. “For fuck’s sake!” I screamed at the top of my voice. This wasn’t how my life was supposed

The kids squealed as I chased them around the living room playfully. They were back from school and the first thing they wanted to do was play hide and seek. How could I refuse those adorable faces? Daphne wanted them to have their meal first but they wouldn’t listen to her. I moved the documents I was working on into the file before it got completely ruined. “So where were we?” I asked as I started chasing them around again. They giggled excitedly. Nothing made me happier than seeing them healthy and happy. I had been so afraid for Asher but not he was completely and fully healed. The doctor said there was no need to worry about the leukemia reoccurring ever again. “Alpha king,” a guard called out to me. I paused from running around with the kids. I had told them not to disturb me unless it was absolutely necessary. “The beta wants to have a word with you. He says it’s urgent,” he added. I glanced at the kids. “Can you kids play by yourself for a minute? I will be right back,” I

I slammed the door shut and headed right from the bathroom. I switched on the faucet and pulled out my hands from the gloves I was putting on. The sight of blood made me angrier. I hurriedly placed my hands under and began to wash them. “Why wouldn’t they just come off?” I groaned out of frustration. I kept on scrubbing but it wasn’t coming off. “Nicola? What are you up to?” Kyle inquired appearing at the entrance of the bathroom. “I went to the grocery store but people won’t just back off. They kept on asking questions about me and then I got upset. It wasn’t my fault. I had no other choice but to get upset. They kept on getting into my business…”“Stop scrubbing your hands,” he ordered. I scoffed looking towards his direction but I didn’t stop scrubbing my hands. “You can’t tell me what to do. I’m not one of your servants. I can do whatever I want,” I retorted. “There are no blood stains on your hand anymore. Your hands are clean now,” he insisted. My eyes darted towards my han

A knock resounded on the door for the second time. “Come in,” I replied. The door opened and Elder Thayer stepped into my office, closing the door behind him. “Alpha king,” he greeted. I pointed towards the chair in front of me and he took a seat. “You sent for me?” he asked curiously. I twirled my pen in my hands. “Don’t you think you owe Nick and I an apology? For spreading false rumors about him.” The doubts all began from him and they all turned out to be wrong. “Like I told you before Alpha king and also your father, I serve the eight packs and the ruler who sits on the throne. I believe whatever I do is for the sake of the pack. I found a good enough reason to doubt the beta and I did just that…”“And you turned out to be completely wrong,” I replied cutting him off. He was one of the few people I could trust. He was completely devoted to his duties to the pack house and wouldn’t hesitate to call out anyone who was a threat to the pack. Even if it had to do with his family.

“Where are you taking me?” I asked in confusion as Marilyn led me down a flight of stairs. She had dressed me up and covered my eyes with a blindfold. “You’ve asked that question for about a million times already,” she replied. “And you haven’t given me a satisfactory response yet. Why can’t you just tell me where we are going?” I complained. She grabbed my dress so I wouldn’t trip on the stairs. “You should learn how to exercise patience. If you would just let me do my job, we will be there in no time,” she assured me. I furrowed my brows. “What job? Since when were you assigned a job?” She didn’t respond. We kept on going down the stairs till we stopped. She dropped my gown on the floor. I could feel myself stepping on something soft but I had no idea what it was. There was also a light sweet fragrance in the air. I disliked being in the dark. Whatever it was, I needed to know right away.“Marilyn? Marilyn where are you?” I asked. I couldn’t feel her presence anymore. “This isn
Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Revenge 115: Old Wound
Avery The stale air of the prison cell felt thick like it was closing in on me from every side. It had been more than a week since I was first thrown in here, but time in a place like this moves differently, slower, heavier. Days blended together, a blur of long hours and clinking chains, the incessant noise of other prisoners shouting or laughing or crying. It all became background noise, something I had learned to shut out.The other women in the cell block didn’t make it easy, though. They knew who I was… Avery Montgomery, the one whose name used to open doors. Now, it was just another target for their jeers.“You really thought you could get away with it, huh?” One of the older women, a stocky brunette with tattoos snaking down her arms, snickered from the corner of the room.I didn’t respond, just stared ahead, pretending I didn’t hear her.“You’re nothing now, honey,” she called out again. “A rich little princess all locked up in a cage. Bet your fancy family’s not coming to sa
Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Revenge 114: Too Deep
Mrs. Montgomery sat at her grand mahogany desk, the soft glow of the table lamp casting a warm, golden hue across her perfectly manicured hands. She twirled the pen between her fingers, a look of pure satisfaction on her face. It was the kind of contentment that only came with the realization that everything was falling into place and no one could stop her.It took her years to get to this point now, how she had to pretend that she liked Avery all those years, how she had to act as the perfect mother but now she is finally free! She can do all she wants and she won’t hesitate anymore, they all have to pay for everything they have done to her. Her smile grew wider as she thought about the first trial, she remembered the hope in her eyes, Avery was so happy that things were falling into place for her and she waited for the last minutes to strike with what she had, and she burst into laughter. She hadn’t felt that contented in years, she should have killed her when she was young and sh
