Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife Chapter 52: “Call me 'husband'.”
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

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

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

The surprise was so strong that Serena called out Alexander’s name before she could stop herself. Aunt Torres, realizing her oversight, quickly nodded. “Mr. Vanderbilt is in the master bedroom now. Would Miss Morales like to see him?”Serena stiffened at the suggestion. She quickly handed the cup of milk back to Aunt Torres, shaking her head. “Aunt Torres, let me know after he leaves tomorrow morning. I’ll skip breakfast.”Aunt Torres wasn’t blind to what was happening. She noted Serena’s reluctance and deduced that she was avoiding Alexander. Though she was tempted to ask why, she refrained and nodded instead. “Alright, Miss Morales. Rest well.”As Serena closed the door behind her, her heart raced, not with excitement but with unease. Alexander being here felt too close, too invasive. What if he discovered the truth about her? The tension weighed on her as she sipped her milk, trying to calm herself. She decided she would visit the old mansion tomorrow to see Mr. Vanderbilt Senior an

Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 2nd * Chapter 161 : I’ll give you one hour
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

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

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
