Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * FREEBIES * Chapter 147 : I swear, I’ll kill you, you curse!
Serena’s phone buzzed just as she was leaving a meeting. The hospital's name flashed on the screen. The voice on the other end was clipped, urgent. Josh had fallen into a coma.The doctor had been reaching out to everyone on Josh's contact list, one by one—standard protocol in emergencies, but the kind that never felt routine.By the time Serena arrived at the hospital, the sterile hallways echoed with sobs. Araminta was already there, curled in on herself like a grieving wraith on one of the stiff waiting room chairs, her eyes puffy and red, her cheeks streaked with mascara. She clutched Josh’s phone as if it were his lifeline.The moment Araminta spotted Serena walking through the glass doors, her sorrow twisted into rage.“You bitch!” she screamed, eyes blazing. “Did you set him up? You murderer. I’m calling the cops on you!”Before Serena could say a word, Araminta charged like a fury unchained, arm raised to slap. Serena’s reflexes kicked in. She caught Araminta’s wrist mid-air an

Ava stepped out of the hospital, her emotions wound tight like a storm that had yet to pass. Her hands trembled as she held onto her purse, and she knew—there was no way she could drive like this. So, she walked. No destination in mind, no plan. Just walked.The midday sun beat down relentlessly, baking the pavement beneath her feet. Her vision blurred, not from the heat, but from the tears that slipped down her cheeks, uninvited and unchecked. She didn’t bother to stop them. Instead, she drifted toward a nearby bench tucked beneath a skeletal tree that offered little shade. She sank onto it, clutching her bag in her lap as though it were the only thing holding her together.With shaky fingers, she tried wiping the tears away, but they kept coming. Her small frame hunched forward as if trying to shrink away from the world. The sun bore down on her mercilessly, its rays highlighting every fragile line of emotion on her face. She looked heartbreakingly vulnerable—an open wound in the mi

If Ava hadn’t stepped back in time, the car window would’ve caught a fistful of her hair. The breeze from the speeding vehicle brushed her face as she watched it roll away down the street. She couldn’t help but let out a laugh—half amusement, half disbelief.She quickly pulled out her phone and typed a message to Raphael:[Just saw him. Alexander told me not to get too full of myself. You should look for Victoria—she’s riding shotgun with him right now.]Raphael didn’t hesitate. He called Victoria immediately. On the other end, Victoria picked up with a bright, amused smile on her face. “I’ll check,” she said before hanging up and turning toward Alexander.“Raphael called me too,” she said casually, her voice playful. “Looks like he’s really into his girlfriend this time. Maybe he’s serious, Alexander. What do you think—should we let her come back?”Alexander said nothing. His gaze remained fixed on the road ahead, expression unreadable. Though his face was composed, there was somethin

The following morning, Serena returned to the hospital, her steps light but purposeful. The building’s cold sterility wrapped around her, but she kept moving, eyes scanning every corridor. Once she was certain Araminta and Valentina weren’t lurking nearby, she quietly slipped into Josh’s room.Her gaze immediately landed on the table where she had left the voice recorder disguised as a pen. It was gone.Her heart sank a little. Araminta and Valentina had been so consumed with their own drama yesterday, they probably hadn’t even noticed the device. It must’ve been picked up by a nurse. Serena asked around, trying to stay calm, but every nurse she spoke to simply shook their head. No one had seen it.As she walked past Alfonso’s room, lost in thought, she accidentally bumped into him. He was stepping out, looking weaker than ever, clutching his cane tightly. They exchanged a tense glance before she moved on, unwilling to stir up a scene.Inside the room, Araminta had been watching Alfon

As soon as Serena stepped through the doors of her quiet penthouse on the Upper West Side, her phone buzzed. It was a message from Alfonso.Alfonso: Serena, I'm sorry. I was wrong.Alfonso: I’ve taken back the shares from Araminta. Tonight, I’ll review the contract with PW Group. I won’t let you suffer anymore.Her breath caught in her throat.Serena stared at the screen, the words blurring as her vision clouded. Back at the hospital, she hadn’t shed a single tear—not when she was insulted, not when she was hit, not even when the truth unraveled. But here, in the silence of her own space, with the city lights blinking outside her windows, her heart cracked.She sank onto the velvet sofa and let the tears fall. Alfonso… he had once been her hero. Her anchor. If he had always treated her coldly, maybe this wouldn’t hurt so much. But he hadn’t. He had once carried her on his shoulders, told her bedtime stories, made her feel like the most cherished girl in the world.And that version of h

Serena arrived at exactly seven o’clock, dressed to stun.The restaurant’s entrance gleamed with crystal lights and golden accents, a favorite among New York’s elite. It was the kind of place where whispers of billion-dollar deals floated over champagne flutes and polished silverware.Alexei’s luxury sedan pulled up just moments after she arrived. The car hadn’t even come to a complete stop when his eyes locked on her—and widened.Serena, usually understated and fresh-faced, had taken a different approach tonight. Her makeup was light but refined, enhancing the elegant sharpness of her features. She wore a tailored, dark-toned women’s suit that hugged her frame with a sculpted precision—polished, powerful, and stunning.Alexei, no stranger to beautiful women, nearly forgot how to breathe. He jumped out of the car and strode toward her like a moth to flame.Serena offered a graceful smile as he approached. “Alexei.”He gave her a slow, appreciative once-over, then let out a dramatic sig

Alexei, sensing the atmosphere starting to thicken with tension, quickly tossed a few playful jabs Quinton’s way to ease the mood. The snark-laced banter between him and Alexander had started to turn razor-sharp—too sharp for Ava’s comfort.She felt the invisible rope tightening around her, pulling her into their unspoken power play. Not wanting to become collateral damage, she quietly slipped out of the room under the guise of needing the restroom.But instead of heading there, she veered into the hallway, drawing in a deep breath of cooler, quieter air.To her surprise, Liam was standing nearby, lingering with the nervous energy of someone who didn’t quite belong but was doing his best to stay invisible.When he saw her, he perked up and walked over, holding out a tall glass of lemon water.“Here,” he said with an awkward smile. “Might help clear your head a bit?”Ava hadn’t had much to drink—just a single glass of wine back in the private room—but the gesture was appreciated.

The morning light filtered through the sheer curtains, casting long shadows across the pristine hotel suite. The scent of expensive cologne lingered in the air, mingling with the faint remnants of last night’s champagne.Alexander stood by the window, his posture rigid, his sharp gaze fixed on the woman sitting at the edge of the bed. Serena.She was undeniably beautiful, her tousled hair cascading over her bare shoulders, her delicate fingers working swiftly as she finished buttoning her blouse. But Alexander remained unmoved.“I’ll compensate you generously,” his voice was smooth but laced with ice. “But don’t expect anything beyond that. What happened last night changes nothing.”Serena paused, fingers tightening around the last button of her blouse. The weight of his words pressed against her, heavy and unforgiving.Meanwhile, Alexander’s mind reeled, replaying the events of the previous night in fragmented flashes.The Vanderbilt family had hosted a grand banquet in his honor—a sp

Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife Chapter 146 : the dead can’t come back
Bridgitte’s face drained of all color, as if she’d just been slapped in front of a crowd. Her lips parted in disbelief. “Mr. Vanderbilt…”But Alexander didn’t spare her a glance. His cold eyes swept over the rest of the room instead, voice firm and devoid of emotion. “Consider this a warning.”His tone cut through the air like a blade. Not once did he acknowledge Bridgitte’s presence or feelings, making her humiliation all the more bitter.Trying to salvage her pride, Bridgitte stammered, “I—I’m Raphael’s girlfriend. Things have been going really well between us lately, so if you could just—”Her words trailed off as Alexander finally looked at her—his gaze so cold, so piercing, that she froze mid-sentence. In that moment, Bridgitte’s resentment toward Ava deepened, festering quietly beneath her skin.Without another word, Alexander turned on his heel and left, his tailored coat fluttering behind him.Jonathan remained, stepping forward with his usual composed demeanor. He looked ov
Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * FREEBIES * Chapter 145 : I want Ava. And I want her now!
Dear Gentle Readers, Let’s play a game of guessing which character said the quote on the chapter title... Comment who you think say "I want Ava. And I want her now!" before you read this chapter...E.C. ---------Josh's bloodshot eyes locked onto the car speeding ahead of him, his grip on the steering wheel tight enough to turn his knuckles white. Fury coiled inside him like a viper, ready to strike. He wanted nothing more than to crash into her, to force her to a stop—to make Ava his, no matter the cost.But Ava was faster. It was as if she could anticipate his every move, her driving precise, calculated. He floored the gas pedal, ignoring the blaring sirens that suddenly erupted behind him. Police patrol cars closed in, their flashing red and blue lights reflecting off his windshield, but Josh was beyond caring. He wouldn't let them stop him—not before he got Ava.The problem was, she had already slipped through his fingers.Le Châteauesque Manor had strict speed restrictions, and
