Chapter 81: You still have the nerve to ask?
Last Updated:
2025-02-15 01:07:47Valentina didn’t know how to conceal her admiration for him, her wide eyes filled with excitement, cheeks flushed as if she had just stepped in from the cold. Alexander immediately noticed and found it distasteful. That kind of overt admiration, the kind that bordered on idolization, always annoyed him. His expression darkened.
She had originally been on her way out to pick up food for Alfonso, eager to escape the hospital room before another one of his long-winded speeches about Serena. But fate seemed to have other plans, delivering Alexander directly into her path. Instead of leaving, she found herself rooted to the spot, unable to resist the rare opportunity to be close to him.
Alexander, however, had no patience for her hesitation. His brows furrowed. "Aren’t you going out?"
His tone was cool, detached—exactly the way he would speak to a stranger.
Valentina hesitated, then cautiously took a step closer, her voice soft. "Mr. Vanderbilt, may I invite y

Ava hadn’t planned to stay long at the bar after resolving the loan issue with Rachel. She still had to figure out a construction team for Alexander’s house. However, just as she was about to leave, a familiar hand lightly tapped her shoulder."Ava, what a coincidence."She turned to find Alexei standing there, his signature smirk in place. Dressed in an expensive yet deliberately casual suit, he exuded his usual playboy charm. His dark eyes gleamed with mischief under the dim lighting of the private lounge, where the chatter of the wealthy elite filled the air."I heard you had a falling out with Mr. Thompson?" he asked, swirling a glass of whiskey between his fingers.Ava gave him a measured look. "Mr. Volkov, do you really have the audacity to ask especially when you are the cause of it?"Alexei chuckled, unfazed. The atmosphere in the room was electric—soft jazz playing in the background, the clinking of expensive glassware, and the occasional bursts of laughter from nearby VIP boo

The question lingered in the air, heavy with anticipation.Women exchanged knowing glances, their curiosity evident.Ava exhaled slowly, relieved that Hugo hadn’t directly asked who the woman was. If he had, all eyes would have been on her immediately, and she wasn’t sure how she would’ve handled that.Hugo might be playful, but he knew when to hold back.Alexander, on the other hand, barely looked fazed. His gaze flicked toward Ava, his dark eyes unreadable.Ava straightened slightly under his scrutiny, a prickle of heat creeping up her spine. Was it the alcohol, or was it him? Their arms were still pressed together, and she could swear his skin felt warmer.A sudden memory flashed in Alexander’s mind—her soft gasps, the way her nails had dug into his back that night, her flushed skin beneath his. His jaw clenched, annoyed at himself for thinking about it now.Irritated, he unbuttoned the top of his shirt, letting a bit of cool air hit his skin.Then, his deep voice cut through the th

Ava had planned to repay the eight million first, and once the bank funds arrived, she intended to sell her house immediately. She refused to take advantage of Alexander—even the interest would be included.But now, Alexander had refused, and on top of that, he seemed angry. She wasn’t sure what he was thinking.Just as he was about to say something, a familiar voice interrupted."Alexander, aren’t you leaving yet?"Hugo's voice rang out from across the bar, slightly slurred but still clear. He had been drinking, but not to the point of losing his sharp instincts. As soon as he spotted Ava standing close to Alexander, his lips curled into a knowing smirk."What secret conversation are you two having?"Alexander’s gaze darkened, and instead of answering, he turned and walked away, leaving Ava standing in the dimly lit bar. Hugo nodded politely at her before following his friend.Ava remained where she was for a few moments, feeling the weight of Alexander’s cold mood lingering in the ai

Ava had planned to leave right away, but after sending Rachel that message, she knew her friend would come storming in. So she waited by the elevator.It didn’t take long. Rachel arrived like a force of nature, her high heels clicking sharply against the marble floor, her stride radiating fury."Rachel?" Ava called, but Rachel was too far gone in her anger to respond.She made a beeline for the suite at the end of the corridor and pounded on the door with the force of a woman scorned.Bang! Bang! Bang!Inside, the birthday celebration was in full swing. Two men and two women were laughing as they clinked glasses, singing a boisterous rendition of Happy Birthday.The birthday girl, draped over Tom’s shoulders, smirked. "Tom, did you invite me a surprise guest?" she teased, her voice saccharine.Everyone chuckled. They all knew Tom—good-looking, broke, and willing to do anything for money.He had been hesitant t

Jonathan wasted no time executing Alexander’s order. The hotel, owned by the Vanderbilt family, operated with precise efficiency. Within five minutes, security had retrieved the complete surveillance footage of Ava leaving in a car.Alexander strode out of the lobby, his expression cold and unreadable. Jonathan was already waiting at the curb with the engine running. The red dot on the GPS map indicated Ava's location—she hadn't been taken far.The kidnappers had been careless, confident that no one would come for her so quickly. After all, Mr. Thompson had assured them she was a nobody, someone with no powerful connections. One million dollars in exchange for her? It seemed like an easy deal.Inside the speeding car, Ava drifted in and out of consciousness. Her body ached, her head throbbed, and the overwhelming stench of gasoline churned her stomach. She felt hands on her—rough, unwelcome, invasive.The man beside her groped at her, but the vehicle’s motion prevented him from doing m

As the car window lowered, Ava acted instinctively. Without a second thought, she turned and buried herself against Alexander’s chest, her arms wrapping tightly around his waist.From the outside, it looked like a woman seeking comfort in the arms of her lover.Valentina, who had been watching expectantly, felt her breath hitch. Her fingers curled into fists, her nails digging into her palms. The image before her sent a sharp wave of jealousy crashing through her, but she forced a soft, composed smile onto her face, though it barely hid the storm brewing in her heart.“Mr. Vanderbilt, are you unwell?” she asked, her voice laced with gentle concern.In truth, she had been hoping to catch his attention—to show him that she was different from other women, that she was considerate and understanding. Yet here he was, holding another woman in his arms.Alexander cast her a brief, indifferent glance. He had never held much regard for Valentina. His sharp gaze flickered with irritation before

Alexander gazed out at the night sky, his expression unreadable. The soft glow of city lights reflected in the glass, but he felt no excitement at Victoria’s words."I'm coming back, Alexander. Aren't you happy?"His voice remained indifferent, steady as ever. “Naturally.”Across the ocean, Victoria Laurent sat with her phone pressed to her ear, waiting—expecting a different reaction. A trace of disappointment flickered in her chest, but she quickly dismissed it.He must still be upset about the past.The separation hadn’t been her choice—it was Cordelia Vanderbilt who had forced them apart, pushing Alexander into an unwanted marriage. Victoria had expected him to fight harder, to chase after her, to rebel against his family for her sake. But he hadn't.That had left her resentful, waiting for him to take action. She had assumed he would eventually come to her, beg for her return, prove to the world that he couldn’t live without her. Yet, instead of bridging the distance, Alexander had

"Ava?"The voice was warm yet filled with concern. It was exactly the same as last time.Ava's fingers curled slightly at her sides as she turned around. Since Diana had already spotted her, there was no point in avoiding the encounter. Taking a deep breath, she steadied herself and greeted her with quiet respect."Mrs. Richardson."Diana’s sharp eyes immediately landed on Ava’s cheek, where the unmistakable imprint of a slap stood out against her fair skin. The redness hadn’t yet faded, the edges of the bruise barely beginning to darken.Diana was an educated and refined woman. She knew better than to be too direct when addressing someone’s pain, but she couldn’t simply ignore what was right in front of her. Moreover, she had already observed that Ava was fiercely independent, someone who didn’t ask for help—even when she desperately needed it.How could my son allow his girlfriend to be treated like this?A deep frown formed on Dian

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

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
