Before Ava could finish what she was saying, Jonathan entered the room, his footsteps steady and respectful as always. “President, the Morales family has called and expressed their desire to have dinner with you,” he announced with formality.

A hint of mockery flashed across Alexander’s sharp features. Dinner? He could already guess their motives. They must have heard that his grandfather was returning and were eager to solidify their standing. The thought made his lips curl slightly, not in amusement but disdain.

“Decline it,” Alexander said curtly, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

Jonathan, unfazed, nodded but hesitated momentarily before adding, “Mr. Alfonso mentioned that Morales has been looking forward to meeting you and has specially prepared some of her signature dishes.”

Across the table, Ava’s hand tightened imperceptibly around her fork. Her father was using her as an excuse to gain Alexander’s favor. The disappointment was sharp and immediate. Her father’s intenti

  • Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife   Chapter 51: Full compensation will be pursued through legal action

    Ava had no idea that the news she unintentionally leaked earlier could have led to a disaster. As she was about to leave Charleston, she realized she had forgotten her phone charger in the courtyard. Letting out a sigh, she turned the car around and headed back.The narrow streets were packed with pedestrians and vehicles, a common sight in the small, bustling town that lacked proper urban planning. Cars crawled along at a snail’s pace, testing Ava’s patience as the sun bore down mercilessly on the dusty roads. What should have been a thirty minute drive stretched into an agonizing hour. By the time Ava reached the courtyard, she was simmering with frustration.As she approached, the scene at the gate stopped her in her tracks. A small crowd had gathered near the entrance, their curious murmurs filling the air. Among them were the two executives she had seen the day before, both visibly anxious. Alexander stood at the center of the commotion, his imposing figure radiating displeasure.

    Tania stumbled into the house, her face as pale as a sheet. Marco and Mona, who had been sitting at the dining table, immediately stood up, their faces etched with worry.“Tania, what’s wrong?” Mona asked, her voice rising in alarm.But Tania couldn’t answer. Her mind was a whirlwind of panic, her chest tightening with every breath. She had never seen eight million dollars in her life. How could she possibly compensate for a car she had recklessly vandalized?If she doesn’t compensate, will she go to prison when Alexander’s lawyer arrives?The more Tania thought about it, the more scared she became. She couldn't even speak, and tears covered her face. Her legs gave out, and she collapsed into a chair, trembling.“Mom, Dad!” she finally burst out, her voice a desperate wail. “You have to help me! I didn’t know the car would cost so much. I thought it’d only be a few thousand dollars to fix! How was I supposed to know?”Mona rushed to her side, rubbing her back soothingly. “What are you

  • Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife   Chapter 53: Why are you so nervous?

    Ava’s mind raced as she held her phone, realizing the urgency of the situation. She needed to warn Aunt Torres to hide Rex immediately. Alexander’s well-documented allergy to dog fur could trigger an attack if Rex was anywhere nearby. Moreover, Alexander had seen Rex before—recognition was inevitable.Her heart thudded as she dialed Aunt Torres, her fingers slightly trembling. The voice from the front seat cut through her thoughts."Sir, your grandfather said the wedding house prepared for you is just ahead. He will arrive in about two days and plans to inspect your living situation with that person," Jonathan said, his tone carrying a hint of disdain as he deliberately emphasized "that person."Not only did Alexander hold a dispassionate view of Ava, but Jonathan’s disdain for her was equally evident. To him, the Morales family had long crossed the boundaries of propriety. Their actions since the engagement with the Vanderbilt family were nothing short of opportunistic. If it hadn’t

    The next morning, when Serena woke up, Alexander had replied to her email with a single word."Yes."Serena stared at the screen, her head aching for reasons she couldn’t quite explain. It was her first time dealing with such an indifferent client. With a sigh, she typed another message: Does Mr. Vanderbilt need to hire a third-party supervisor?In most large projects, a third-party supervisor was employed by the client to monitor the construction process, ensuring real-time updates and maintaining quality standards. She expected Alexander to want to oversee the project, even if minimally. But his reply came swiftly.No need.Serena blinked. Was he serious about this hands-off approach? She paused before typing another message, her curiosity finally getting the better of her.Mr. Vanderbilt, once the renderings are finalized, I will proceed with the construction drawings. Are you sure you don’t want to show them to anyone else? Mr. Richardson mentioned that this house was designed for

    Cordelia’s sneer cut through the air, sharp and condescending. “It’s not about what she did wrong. It’s about how the Morales family doesn’t match up to the Vanderbilt family. You should be aware of this. If it weren’t for her saving Mr. Vanderbilt Senior’s life, there would be no chance for her and Alexander.”Araminta, typically quick with a biting retort, sat silent under Cordelia’s imposing presence. Instead, she seethed inwardly, her frustration directed at Serena. Why couldn’t Serena hold onto Alexander’s heart? If she had, none of them would have to endure this humiliation.Cordelia’s sharp gaze shifted to Serena, who maintained her usual calm demeanor. Cordelia hated it. That indifferent mask, as if nothing could touch her, irritated Cordelia beyond words.“This contract stipulates that you must divorce in one year. Even if Xander can’t control himself and wants you, you must obediently take birth control pills. The Morales family isn’t qualified to give Alexander a child. I d

    The following morning, Alexander found himself at the airport, waiting with his usual composed impatience. The sleek black car had arrived precisely on time, carrying him and Jonathan to greet Mr. Vanderbilt Senior. As Alexander stood in the bustling terminal, his sharp gaze swept over the arrivals area, scanning the crowd with an air of detachment.He glanced at his phone, his brows furrowing when he realized Serena hadn’t replied to the message he’d sent her earlier. He fired off another terse message:Where are you?The message went unanswered, disappearing into the void like his patience. His expression darkened further, and he marched towards the terminal's main hall, his movements precise and commanding.Jonathan followed closely behind, noticing the slight tension in Alexander's jawline. “Has Miss Morales not responded, Sir? Should we try calling her?”A cold flicker crossed Alexander’s eyes, the suggestion met with curt finality. “No need.”Inside the terminal, the din of voice

    Morning light filtered through the hospital window, casting soft streaks of warmth on the sterile white walls. The steady beeping of the monitor provided a rhythmic backdrop to the stillness of the room. Alfonso lay propped up on the stiff hospital bed, his face pale and weary. His body ached as if every nerve was on edge.As his eyelids fluttered open, he spotted Araminta seated beside the bed, her posture stiff and her arms crossed. He frowned slightly, his voice hoarse and low. “How did I end up here?”Araminta leaned back, the corner of her mouth tightening. “You passed out at Le Châteauesque Manor,” she said dismissively, smoothing a crease in her silk blouse.Alfonso shifted uncomfortably, a dull throb radiating through his chest. “Where’s Serena?” he asked, his tone softening at the mention of his daughter.At the question, Araminta’s lips pursed tightly. “The nurse sent her to the cafeteria to get some food,” she replied coldly. “Apparently, the hospital serves customized meal

  • Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife   Chapter 58: Alexander is here?

    At the Vanderbilt family estate, the night was winding down. Dinner had ended, and the family had gathered in the grand living room, filled with soft lamplight that highlighted the ornate furnishings and gilded frames adorning the walls. Alexander stood up, his tall figure cutting a sharp silhouette against the dim light.“Remember what your grandfather said,” the old master said, his tone firm but kind, “and bring a gift when you visit Alfonso this week.”Alexander’s jaw tightened, though he maintained his composed demeanor. “I know,” he replied curtly.Cordelia, who had been silently observing from the corner, narrowed her eyes. The slight crease in her brow deepened as she watched Alexander leave the room. Unwilling to let the matter rest, she followed him into the garden, where the scent of blooming jasmine filled the air.“Alexander,” she called out sharply, her heels clicking against the cobblestone path. “Are you really planning to visit Alfonso?”Alexander halted mid-step, the

    "Ava..." Rita expected her cousin to be upset, maybe even furious, but Ava's expression was unexpectedly calm—relieved, even."Rita, thank you, but I can ride with someone else. Mr. Vanderbilt is not in a good mood today, so I'd rather not make him angrier," Ava said, her voice light yet decisive.Rita frowned, puzzled. Why was Alexander in a bad mood? And why did Ava sound as though she had expected it? These two didn’t look like a couple who had spent the night together—if anything, they seemed even more distant than before.Meanwhile, across the venue, Alexander approached Hugo’s table with long, measured strides, his expression stormy. His suit, tailored to perfection, couldn't mask the tension in his shoulders or the sharp, unreadable look in his dark eyes.Victoria, however, didn't follow. She had veered off to chat with other socialites, her posture poised as if she had already won some silent battle.Hugo, who had been lazily swirling the whiskey in his glass, looked up with a

    The crowd that had been eagerly watching the drama slowly dispersed, the tension in the air fading like a dissipating storm. To put on a show of sisterly affection, Victoria personally escorted Michelle to the car, ensuring that all eyes saw her as the graceful and understanding older cousin.Ava, however, remained rooted in place, her body instinctively tensing as Alexander approached. She wasn’t sure why, but she had an urge to step back. Yet, she forced herself to stand her ground, lifting her gaze to meet his. He loomed over her, his dark eyes locked onto hers as if searching for something.Her expression, however, was unreadable—calm, indifferent, as if last night's intimacy had been nothing more than a passing dream."Ava," he murmured, his voice low. There was something he wanted to say.Before he could continue, Victoria returned, her tone carefully measured, yet laced with subtle authority.“Xander, breakfast is ready downstairs. You guys probably haven't eaten yet. Let’s all

    Alexander was not alone. Hugo Beaumont and Colton Valcrosse stood on either side of him, their towering presences only adding to the weight of his arrival. The air was thick with tension, an unspoken shift settling over the gathered crowd.Michelle, still sitting on the ground, felt her stomach drop the moment she caught sight of Alexander. Humiliation burned through her veins. Of all people to witness her in this pitiful state, it had to be him, the person she had a crush on. Could anything be worse?Alexander’s gaze swept over the scene, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly. "What’s going on?" His voice was calm, detached—so effortlessly composed that it was hard to believe he had been a man consumed by raw passion just the night before.Victoria wasted no time approaching him, her heels clicking against the polished floor with urgency. "Last night, a bodyguard mistakenly drank the wrong drink and harmed Michelle," she explained, her voice carrying just the right balance of concern and

    - please read to the very end of the chapter - Ava woke to the cold touch of the hardwood floor against her skin. Her nightgown felt strangely loose, slipping slightly off her shoulder as she groggily pushed herself up. A dull ache radiated from her waist, making her wince as she realized her lower body was sprawled on the floor while her legs still rested on the bed.Had she fallen off in the middle of the night?She rubbed her temples, feeling weak and disoriented. The last thing she clearly remembered was taking a drink from Alexei. After that, everything was a blur—just a deep thirst and the vague sensation of searching for water. Her mind struggled to fill in the gaps, but nothing came.Ava exhaled in relief. At least she hadn’t embarrassed herself in front of anyone. She must have somehow returned to her room early. However, a new problem presented itself—she hadn’t brought any extra clothes, and the silky sleepwear Rita had given her wasn’t appropriate for stepping outside.Jus

    Ava clung to Alexander’s waist, her movements hesitant, unsure of how to respond. The only thing she could manage was wrapping her arms around his neck."It tickles," she murmured, her voice breathy.His hot breath fanned against her skin, seeping through the thin fabric of her dress, igniting a sensation that sent shivers down her spine.Alexander, already on edge from her teasing, tightened his grip on her waist. His voice dropped, husky and deep."So, what should I do to relieve your itch?" He had never imagined himself uttering such flirtatious words, but with Ava, they came naturally.She buried her face into the crook of his neck, her lips brushing against his skin. "Husband, you’re really good... it feels so good."Downstairs, the night was alive with murmurs of conversation and footsteps, but none of it mattered. Alexander held Ava closer, shielding her from the world as if nothing else existed beyond them.Ava whimpered softly, overwhelmed by the moment, but before she could

    The pool area buzzed with activity. Waiters weaved through the guests, offering a selection of drinks, fresh fruit, and delicate pastries to those lounging or swimming. Amid the chatter and clinking of glasses, a waiter approached Ava with a light blue cocktail, placing it on the table in front of her.Alexei leaned in, his voice laced with amusement. "Drink it," he said, watching her reaction carefully.Ava ignored him, keeping her gaze steady on the water.Alexei smirked and moved even closer, his breath warm against her ear. "What’s wrong? Do you want me to feed you? Mouth to mouth, perhaps?"Knowing Alexei, he was more than capable of following through on that threat. Without another word, she grabbed the glass and downed the drink in one go. The alcohol burned on the way down, making her cough.Alexei reached out instinctively to pat her back, but she pushed him away."Mr. Volkov, Farah likes you," Ava said flatly. "Even if you help me

    Rita led Ava through the vast grounds, passing from the lively seafood section to the entertainment areas. The sprawling estate was designed for indulgence, featuring everything from Olympic-sized swimming pools to high-adrenaline bungee jumps and a state-of-the-art shooting range. The event was in full swing, with guests scattered in various spots, enjoying their freedom to partake in whatever entertainment suited them.By the time they reached the grand dessert display—a magnificent ten-meter-long spread of exquisitely crafted pastries—chefs had already begun preparing fresh seafood under glass enclosures, while clusters of socialites chatted over cocktails nearby.“Farah hosts these gatherings every year, though never on a fixed schedule,” Rita explained as they approached the desserts. “It could be spring, summer, or fall. The chefs she brings in have all worked for the Vanderbilt family before. Michelin-starred talents—worth more than some pro athletes. The food is exceptional.”

    As Ava finished helping Rita with her painting, she glanced over and saw Rita on the phone, her voice light and cheerful. Only then did Ava realize that Rita’s driver had already left.Rita returned with a bright smile. “Ava, do you have any plans for tonight or tomorrow morning?”Ava thought for a moment. Her father was still unconscious, and the construction in Manhattan was progressing smoothly. Aside from picking up Rex tomorrow afternoon, she had nothing pressing. “Not really.”Rita clapped her hands in excitement. “That’s great!”Without warning, she linked her arm with Ava’s and pulled her toward the roadside. “I absolutely must treat you to something amazing today! I guarantee you’ve never tasted anything like it before!”Ava was about to protest when she spotted a sleek black luxury car parked ahead. Her stomach twisted. She knew that car.Alexander’s car.Before she could react, Rita had already opened the door and gently nudged her inside.“Xander, I brought Ava along. You
