Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife Chapter 41: Miss Alvarez, why is your dog here?
Rex’s white, fluffy figure darted around the parking lot, barking loudly. A couple and their young child, passing by on their way to a nearby office building, were startled. The little girl jumped in fright and burst into tears.“What’s wrong with you people?” the woman snapped, pulling her child protectively behind her. Her glare was aimed squarely at Alexander, who was standing closest to Rex. “Walking a dog without a leash? What if it bit my child? Do you even know how deadly rabies is? Be a little responsible!”Her husband, noticing the million-dollar luxury car parked nearby and Alexander’s composed demeanor, quickly pulled at her arm. “Don’t say another word.”The woman turned to him, still fuming. “What does his money have to do with anything? Just because someone’s rich doesn’t mean they’re above basic decency. Walking a dog without a leash is like letting the dog walk you!”Alexander frowned slightly, his patience thinning. “It’s not my dog,” he replied curtly.But as if to be

Serena had no choice but to call Aunt Torres and inform her that Rex had been found. The older woman, who had been worrying all day, let out a long sigh of relief.“Thank goodness,” Aunt Torres murmured. “Miss Morales, next time I’ll keep a closer eye on him. I can’t believe he ran off like that.”Serena smiled gently as she placed Rex in the passenger seat and headed back to Le Châteauesque Manor. “It’s alright, Aunt Torres. Just remember to keep the gate at the front tightly closed. Rex is too lively for his own good.”“I’ll be sure of it,” Aunt Torres promised, patting Rex’s head affectionately as he wagged his tail.Although the incident had been resolved, Serena’s thoughts were elsewhere. Tomorrow was the anniversary of her mother’s death—a day she dreaded yet never failed to observe. She packed some clothes, purchased a few gifts for her aunt and uncle, and prepared to visit her hometown.In the evening, Serena turned her attention to her work. She revised the plans several time

Back in the reception room, Alexander leaned against the couch, raising a hand to rub his temple. The night had been taxing. The local business leaders, though well-meaning, had presented an endless stream of outdated ideas, their enthusiasm dimmed by decades of stagnation. Their desire to uplift Bronx County was admirable, but the conversation had been circular, leaving him feeling drained.Jonathan, noticing the faint crease in Alexander’s brow, stepped forward. “Sir, would you like me to have them prepare some sober-up soup for you?”Alexander loosened his tie, unbuttoning the top button of his crisp white shirt. The alcohol from the evening lingered faintly on his breath, and he exhaled, his usually sharp gaze slightly dulled by fatigue. “No need,” he said tersely, waving off the suggestion. “I’ll go out for a walk. The air here is fresher than in the city.”Jonathan hesitated before nodding. “The air quality is certainly one of Bronx County’s selling points. Maybe that’s why the

This wasn’t the first time Alexander had asked this question. The last time, Serena had stared at his hand in disbelief, her honesty catching him off guard.Serena nodded this time, her voice matter-of-fact. “Yes. Although, to be precise, it’s very well drawn. What can I say, I’m an artist.”Alexander chuckled softly, a rare glimmer of amusement crossing his face. Her forthrightness was oddly refreshing, yet her unfiltered behavior left him slightly wary. She was, after all, a married woman. Such candidness felt misplaced, bordering on inappropriate.Without another word, Alexander quickly retrieved a fresh shirt, slipping it on with his usual measured movements. His tone turned dismissive. “Still not going?”Serena snapped out of her thoughts, realizing she was still standing there. She nodded quickly and grabbed her belongings. “Of course. Goodnight, Mr. Vanderbilt. Get some rest.”Alexander watched her retreating figure, not bothering to question why she was even here. The chance e

The atmosphere carried a faint ambiguity as Ava gripped her paintbrush, warmth slowly creeping up her body. The night had softened into a serene stillness, yet the air between them felt charged, as if unspoken words hung heavier than the strokes on her canvas.Behind her, Ava heard faint footsteps. A wave of heat followed close, and her body instinctively stiffened. She didn’t dare turn her head, but her breath hitched when she felt Alexander brush past her, his presence impossible to ignore.He leaned slightly forward, reaching for another paintbrush. In that fleeting moment, his chest lightly grazed her back—a touch so brief it could have been accidental. Yet the warmth of it lingered, seeping through their clothes like a whisper of fire against her skin.Ava froze, the paintbrush trembling faintly in her hand. She watched from the corner of her eye as Alexander dipped the brush into her carefully mixed palette and, with surprising ease, added a few deliberate strokes to her painting

When Alexander heard the voice outside the car, he frowned and looked up from the stack of documents on his lap. Sure enough, Ava Alvarez stood outside the car, her smile calm but undeniably charming. The bright sunlight of Charleston framed her figure, her eyes glinting like molten amber against the backdrop of the idyllic scenery.Alexander’s grip on the papers tightened. It felt like fate—or perhaps a twisted joke—that no matter where he went, Ava seemed to appear.Ava, however, seemed oblivious to the tension. Knocking lightly on the window again, she asked, “Mr. Vanderbilt, may I come in?”Alexander dropped his gaze back to his papers, masking his expression with his usual stoicism. “Come in,” he said with deliberate calm.Ava opened the car door and slid in. The wave of heat that accompanied her entry was tangible, the noon sun outside blazing fiercely. Along with the warmth came the faint fragrance she always carried—something floral yet subtle.Marco, standing outside, let out

Alexander only glanced at the thug, his expression unreadable, before twisting the man's wrist with calculated ease and tossing him aside like a discarded toy. The thug staggered, clutching his arm and groaning in pain as security personnel arrived and swiftly dragged him away.Ava, who had been holding back her rising frustration, released Tania’s wrist. Tania, clearly enraged, opened her mouth to lash out, but the sight of the approaching security made her begrudgingly hold her tongue. Gritting her teeth, she spat out, "Just you wait! I’ll deal with you later!"Ava, however, ignored her entirely. Instead, she turned toward Alexander and said calmly, "Mr. Vanderbilt, thank you."Alexander glanced at her briefly, his expression still indifferent. Taking the disinfectant wipes Jonathan handed him, he meticulously wiped his hands before turning on his heel and walking away, his long, confident strides leaving no room for further interaction.Ava sighed, intending to go find her uncle Ma

Marco was suffering from heatstroke, and Ava knew better than to argue with a sick person. She nodded gently and said, "Uncle, I understand."Marco smiled faintly, the deep lines on his face softening. "This time, take a few more strings of sausages your aunt made when you go back. She also pickled some cabbage. I remember you used to love that when you stayed with us during high school."Ava’s lips curved into a soft smile. "Okay, Uncle."She didn’t speak further, focusing on the road as she drove him to the hospital. The air was thick with silence, but the weight of Marco’s words lingered in her mind.Halfway through their journey, Mona called, her voice laced with worry. "Ava, why haven’t you and Marco come back yet? Did something happen?""Uncle got heatstroke, so I took him to the hospital. We’ll be back a little later," Ava explained.Mona’s worry intensified. "Which hospital are you at? I’ll come over right now."After reassuring Mona and ending the call, Ava’s phone buzzed aga

Alexander couldn't focus, his thoughts scattered and restless. As his phone rang with a call from a business partner, he seized the moment and stood up.“Grandpa, the business partner is calling. I need to go over the details of this morning’s meeting,” he said, already moving away.Grandpa let out a long, weary sigh. To him, it looked like Alexander was just eager to escape. “If you put that much effort into Serena,” he grumbled, “you two would have had a house full of kids by now. Go on, but no matter how busy work gets, don’t forget the wife waiting for you at home.”Alexander didn’t answer. He slipped into his car and glanced at the dashboard clock—8:00 PM. Ignoring the call still ringing on his screen, he turned the key and headed straight to the hotel.By the time he arrived, it was 8:30.His phone buzzed again. It was Jonathan, this time with more urgent news—Ryan had been arrested, and sensitive information about PW Group had been leaked. By morning, the media would be ablaze w
Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 1st * Chapter 165 : I already regret far worse.
The Vanderbilt building was unusually still for a Friday evening. Outside, the city buzzed as it always did, but inside Alexander’s top-floor office, silence reigned.The only light came from the city skyline pouring in through floor-to-ceiling windows. Alexander stood by the glass, one hand in his pocket, the other holding a thick, official envelope.The divorce had been finalized. Her name — Serena Ava Morales Vanderbilt — would no longer be linked to his. And yet, the weight in his chest hadn’t budged. If anything, it had settled deeper.The quiet was broken by the buzz of his phone.Hugo.He answered with a low, “Yeah?”“Finally!” Hugo’s voice crackled through the speaker. “You’re free. About damn time, man.”Alexander didn’t respond.“So,” Hugo continued, voice laced with mischief, “how about some celebratory drinks? I’ve got a private room at 230 Fifth, and I might’ve invited a few… distractions.”“Hugo—”“Come on, don’t be boring. Half the city would give their left arm for a
Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 1st * Chapter 164 : Good. Let it all burn.
Ava sat cross-legged on the floor of her apartment, Rex’s warm head resting against her knee. The golden retriever let out a soft, contented sigh, completely unaware of the life-changing moment that had just arrived.On the table before her lay a sealed envelope.Her name printed clearly beneath it:Serena Ava Morales Vanderbilt.She knew what it was. In fact, she’d been waiting for this moment for years — though not in longing or hope.She had never begged for Alexander’s attention. Never sought his approval.Not five years ago, when she signed that marriage certificate under the cold gazes of the powerful Vanderbilt family and Alfonso, her father’s watchful eyes.Not when he had left the country right after signing the marriage certificate without a word, abandoning a marriage neither of them had wanted.She had lived alone since then.Alone with the Morales debt, the fading reputation of he
Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 1st * Chapter 163 : Let me go
Alexander didn’t remember much of the drive back. The city was a blur of lights and shadows, his thoughts tangled and restless. The tight knot in his chest refused to ease.The image of Ava — Serena — standing by that window lingered with painful clarity. The hollow look in her eyes. The way her voice had cracked when she spoke of dignity, safety, and the things he’d stripped from her.He’d always considered himself a man in control, measured and strategic in every move, every decision. But tonight, for the first time, he felt powerless.And ashamed.He’d broken something he had no right to touch. Now, all he could do was try — maybe hopelessly — to repair what pieces remained.By the time he arrived at the Vanderbilt estate, the staff were long asleep, and the house was quiet. But he didn’t stop there. He headed straight to his private study, locking the door behind him.He pulled out his phone and made a call.Jonathan picked up on the second ring, sounding slightly groggy. “Sir?”A
Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 1st * Chapter 162 : Why did you come, Mr. Vanderbilt?
The city lights blurred past as Alexander sped through the streets, his grip tight on the steering wheel. The cool night air seeped through the slightly opened window, but it did nothing to calm the restless storm inside him.For the first time in years, his usually sharp, calculated mind was clouded — not by business, not by rivals, but by a woman.His wife.And how badly he’d wronged her.Ava. Serena.Every time he said either name in his head now, it twisted something deep in his chest.He thought back to her messages — not a single word of accusation, not one plea for sympathy.Even after everything, she hadn’t used his name.She called him Mr. Vanderbilt.Professional. Distant. Like a stranger.And wasn’t that what he’d made himself?As he pulled into the underground parking of the hotel, he sat in the car for a long moment. His reflection in the windshield stared back at him — polished, cold, successful. A man respected, feared, envied. But none of that meant anything now.He gr
Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 1st * Chapter 161 : Now? What’s the rush?
Alexander let out a sigh, leaning back in the chair as his grandfather rifled through a worn leather photo album placed neatly beside the chessboard. The old man flipped through its pages, mumbling to himself. The room felt heavier somehow, the air thick with nostalgia and something Alexander couldn’t quite name.Alexander leaned back against the worn leather chair in the grand sitting room of the Vanderbilt Mansion, pretending to sip his tea while his grandfather, Cornelius Vanderbilt Sr., dug through an old photo album. The scent of aged paper and tea leaves hung in the air, mixing with the warm, familiar atmosphere of a home built on old money and endless pride.He didn’t want to be here.His mind had been elsewhere all evening — on Ava.The hotel. The time. Her waiting.She’d agreed to meet him there, not because she wanted to — but because she had no choice.Because of Ryan Kuzmin.Alexander had promised her that if she surrendered to his terms — ten nights, no conditions — he wou

Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife Chapter 160 : You need to consider your husband’s interest
When Ava pulled up in front of the boutique, she sat frozen in her car for a long minute, her fingers clutching the steering wheel, her heart pounding. The neon lights reflected off the windshield in lurid pinks and reds, making everything feel surreal.With a deep breath, she opened the door, keeping her head down as she briskly walked toward the entrance.Inside, a burst of artificial floral perfume and soft pop music hit her. The boutique was dimly lit, with shimmering silk and lace displayed under glowing spotlights. Ava didn’t dare meet anyone’s eyes.The sales clerk approached — a middle-aged woman with shrewd eyes and a practiced smile that brightened the moment she saw Ava.“Beautiful lady, what kind are you looking for?” the woman asked warmly.Ava’s mouth opened, but the words wouldn’t come. She had no experience here — none of this belonged in her world. “A-anything is fine…” she stammered, avoiding the clerk’s gaze.The woman’s expression turned stern. “How can you be so c
Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife Chapter 159 : you should know what men like
By evening, after back-to-back meetings and an unrelenting day of negotiations, Alexander finally stepped out of the conference room. The moment he entered his office, his sharp gaze landed on Ava, quietly seated by the window.She looked pale, her skin almost translucent under the soft light, but her eyes held steady — calm, guarded, as though nothing from the night before had ever happened. Not a flicker of hesitation, not a single ripple.Alexander moved to his chair, sitting down with the unhurried grace of a man who always controlled the room. His eyes swept over her.She had a scarf wrapped snugly around her neck, a strange choice for this mild evening. It couldn’t hide everything though — a hint of bruising peeked from beneath the fabric. A turtleneck would’ve made more sense, but in this weather, it would have drawn too much attention.“Mr. Vanderbilt,” Ava said evenly, breaking the heavy silence.“I won’t back out from the remaining nine times. But can you give me Ryan’s info
