Billionaire's ex-wife. Chapter 24
It was late at night, and Elena entered the room after putting her kids to sleep. She saw Alex sitting on the bed, his straight long legs crossed, his back resting against the headboard and busy with his laptop typing something, it was obviously business.She let out a brooding sigh and dragged her legs toward her side of the bed, looking like someone tasked with the greatest impossible thing. She entered the bed and sat beside Alex, dragging the covers to her leg, and placed her head on his shoulder, her eyes fixed on the screen as he typed.When it comes to working, he's more serious than ever. It's hard to get his attention off it."Tomorrow is Sunday.""I know." He replied, his voice coming out deep."Which means you can do this tomorrow." She stated.He paused, looked at her head on his shoulder, and looked back at his screen. "Is there something you want? Aren't you just going straight to bed?"She sighed, rose her head, and looked at him. "I want to talk to you."He looked at h

Elena turned and move her hand around the other side of the bed but it felt empty. She opened her eyes at the lazy sunshine streaming from out the window and slowly sat up. She felt a sour feeling between her thighs which completely reminded her of their deed last night.It brought a sigh out of her as she relaxed against the headboard. Every single day that passes, she was getting more closer and comfortable with Alex as she once was.It felt like she was forgetting they were no longer married and she didn't like it. She knew she had to let go of the past and the hurt she felt after being thrown out, although she wasn't feeling angry anymore, she could tell her anger somehow subsided.Now, she wants them back together. Officially. She wants to feel more comfortable than she already is. She wants to own him back.Though the fear in her wasn't helping since she know they have an unknown enemy lurking around. Whoever caused their separation was definitely still out there, unhappy about

Alex was completely ready for the day. He walked out of the board room after a long board meeting, heading to another one that will be taking place in a restaurant.He arrived at the last floor and walked toward his car in his parking lot. He halted in his track, his eyes glancing around before he kept walking, then the car drove off with another car behind it, then another one following it.Driving, Alex with a black face cap on smirked as he watched the car tailing him in front of him, going after his car he assigned someone to drive in other to confuse the guy.His phone began ringing and he sighed seeing it was work. His next meeting. He picked it up and continued driving steadily."Mr. Black, I've been waiting for thirty minutes."Alex chuckled throatily. "Thirty minutes? I thought you were gonna say one hour."He heard the man sigh. "How long am I waiting? We need this meeting done and over with.""Unfortunately, we are gonna have to reschedule, cause I'm busy right now," Alex u

Elena arrived at her children's school and met them waiting for her arrival. There was a frown on Xander's face, his face facing the floor, feeling sad and guilty.She sighed, her hand placed on her waist, knowing her son definitely did something to be looking like that. She looked at Amy. "What did your brother do?""Our principal said when you come, we should tell you to meet her." Amy conveyed.Elena furrowed her brows and looked at Xander. It was obvious he was already showing his logo in his new school.Although she knew Xander wouldn't look for any trouble, he just react to people's troubles with him. He's short-tempered, and metaphorically, the first thing he does when wrong is thrown his fist, or rather, literally, he pushes his fellow kid to the ground, and if he keeps being that way it could be his fist first."Okay. I'll go see your principal."Xander looked up at her. "Mommy, I didn't...really do anything wrong. I know she's going to complain to you...""Let me see what sh

It was another day and Alex was fully prepared for work. He looked at himself in the mirror, completely satisfied with how he was looking which is how he normally looks. He was putting on a black tuxedo, no tie though since he always felt disturbed by it.His phone ringing got his attention and he immediately went to pick it up and muted the tone so as not to wake Elena up. His eyes narrowed as he saw the caller ID.He frowned and answered it. "Why the hell are you calling me this early?" He whispered, turning away from the bed."Cause I'm desperate, Mr. Black. I texted you last night but I got no reply from you."Alex scoffed and looked away. "What do you want? Am I not giving you everything you want?""No. Not everything. There's one thing I desperately need and I want it.""And what the hell is that?" Alex questioned.He heard her sigh like she was finding the next words difficult to say. "I...I want to leave, Mr. Black. As much I like what I'm getting, I don't think I'll survive w

Evelyn's eyes were fixated on Elena as she walked closer. She haven't actually seen Elena physically and seeing her really made her wonder exactly who she was. What happened that separated two identical twins from their family?Evelyn never really saw herself as beautiful, in fact, she saw herself as a mess. A wayward person.But then, seeing her lookalike, she saw how pretty she really is and how elegant she could be."Who the hell are you?" Elena questioned with a frown on her face mixed with curiosity.Evelyn kept shut since all she could do was stare at Elena.Elena looked at Alex whose eyes were on her. "What's going on here, Alex? Answer me." She compelled.Alex looked at Evelyn before looking at her. "It's...she's your sister." He informed, going straight to the point.Elena's face contorted at the statement and she chuckled looking back at Evelyn. "My sister?" She gave Evelyn a once over, their resemblance was concise. "Sister." She mumbled reflectingly, no longer finding it s

Alex sighed with a moody expression, shaking the glass of beer in his hand, his elbow placed on the round table separating him and Liam.Elena hasn't really been on talking terms with him and he hated it, although he understood."Um, aren't you interested in what I called you here to say?" Liam questioned with a frown on his face.Alex looked at him and nodded. "Yeah. Just go ahead. I'm listening."Liam equally nodded. "So I did as you asked. I investigated Cora and the late Evan Miller.""Okay. What did you get?""I traced them to country D where they once resided. It turns out Cora was a barren woman. Evan Miller brought a baby home one day and in no time, that packed out." Liam informed.Alex nodded. "So, she was found by Evan Miller."Liam equally nodded. "Yeah, although..." He lowered his gaze. "According to some neighbors, someone else equally asked who they were."Alex furrowed his brows in confusion. "You mean there's someone out there investigating the Millers.""Not sure how

Xander and Amy weren't in the house and that's because Alex took them to his mother. He had a place to be with his wife as plus one and he felt happy about it.It's been so long, though he never had a need to celebrate since he lost her. All he did was out of self-pity. He was miserable.As he sat patiently for her to walk down the stairs with his sister being her fashionista, his phone began to ring in front of him. It was the guy. Sanchez.He answered the call and placed it on his ear. "Been expecting your call."Sanchez nodded, looking around in case anyone was coming toward his side. "I know but I had to be careful. I told my boss, Jaguar that you don't seem to be hiding anything." He said in a hushed tone.Alex nodded. "Good, so anything yet? Anything that could be of help?""Not yet..." He straightened up and smiled at his fellow guy. "So, when should we meet, my love..." He asked cockily.Alex frowned in disgust. "What?"The guy shook his head and walked past causing Sanchez to

"Boss, just give me the go-ahead and I'll kill Andrew this instant," Jaguar stated with a sneer formed on his face.The boss shook his head in disagreement before looking up at Jaguar. "I've told you, Jaguar, bring him to me instead. How hard could that be?""Well, boss, it wouldn't be due to friendly conversation. If I'm gonna bring him here, it will be out of duress. I just wanna be sure if that's what you want."The boss gave him a blank look, his mind going to different places as he pondered on the statement, then he let out a wry chuckle. "I need information from him, Jaguar. He's the only way right now to know what's going on out there. I hate the fact that I know nothing.""We can force things out of him..."The door suddenly opened, causing the boss to look and Jaguar to turn toward it. They were both surprised at who decided to visit."You don't have to," Andrew noted with a smirk written on his face.The boss furrowed his brows in confusion. "And what does that mean, Andrew?

It was late at night, Alex and Elena were lying on the bed with Alex facing the ceiling and Elena's head and hand placed on his body. It was quiet for a while, especially since he has things to think about.Not just their impending problem but there is also work. He just couldn't wait to clear the danger out of his family so they can just peacefully live."Are you awake?" He asked."No," Elena answered, her head still on his chest, counting the steady beats of his heart."There's something important I want to talk to you about."Elena furrowed her brows in curiosity and rose her head up to look at him. "About what?""He looked at her. " I uh, I found your dad."Her eyes widened and she sat up. "What?"He nodded and equally sat up. "Yeah. I found him.""Who...who is he?" She quickly asked, needing an urgent answer."My godfather, Brian Jordan. I'm sure you've met him."Elena blinked and looked away, remembering the man. She swallowed as she kept thinking about him like his image was go

Brian entered the coffee shop and spotted Alex so focused on his tablet. He's been wondering what serious conversation Alex wanted to lay on the table. He knew everything with Alex was serious.He walked toward the table and sat down. "So, I'm here."Alex dropped the tablet on the table and looked at him. He wanted to hit the nail on the head. "The last time we talked, I told you about someone who seems to be after your daughters. I told you I know you know who is after them."Brian grimaced, looking confused. "Yeah, but I didn't get it.""Who took your girls away from you?" Alex questioned.Brian sighed. "It was someone I know who has a vendetta against me. Although there was no evidence to prove it, I know he kidnapped my children.""Who is he then?" Alex inquired."Jacob Jefferson. Once a friend, then he became an enemy."Alex bobbed his head, digesting his words. "Jacob Jefferson. He's the boss.""What boss?""The mastermind. The reason why everything happened. You must have thoug

Alex alighted out of his car and hurriedly walked toward his porch since he knows Elena was there waiting for her. As he arrived, she immediately pulled him into a hug. "You're here at last. I've been waiting."Alex nodded, caressing her back. "I know." He pulled her away a little so he could look at her. "Are you okay, though?""I'm terrified, Alex. They said those people were after me. Someone died, why the hell are these things happening?" She anxiously replied.Alex shook his head. "Still figuring things out, really. It had to have been the main mastermind behind it. I just don't know why he's after you. Soon I will though."Elena sighed. "Okay. Let's...let's go in. You should freshen up too. The kids will soon be back from school."Alex nodded. "Okay." They walked in, holding hands, then his phone buzzed.He stopped in his tracks as he saw it was a message from his brother."What's it?" Elena asked him."Andrew sent me a message.

Elena smiled at the cashier as her goods were given to her. "Thanks." She said, taking it and leaving the grocery store.The bags were immediately taken by the guards Alex placed for her protection. "Let's hold them for you." One of them said and the other took them.Elena smiled and nodded.A call on her phone made her stop and she took it. "Hello, who's this?""It's your assistant, ma'am. I'm wondering how long you'll be back with the groceries. You could have just let me do the job."Elena chuckled, taking slow steps. "I guess. That will be after I slowly get used to getting someone to buy my groceries. I'm already out though, I'm just going to my car.""Okay."Elena nodded and hung the call-up. She looked at one of the guards. "The car?""Henry is bringing it." The guard informed.Elena nodded and stood as she waited.Just as immediately, she instinctively ducked and yelped at the sound of a gunshot hitting the glass doors. "Oh, God." She gasped as the gunshot kept coming."Ma'am,

Cora phoned Brian excessively but nothing and it bothered her. She wondered why he was ignoring her and it infuriated her.She sucked from a straw the coffee she ordered and leaned back against the chair. Looking at the door at any sudden chime of the bell expecting Brian to walk in.She sighed since deep down she knew he won't come. She messaged him too but of course, he should also not give a damn about her messages.She shudder to wonder why he was being that way toward her or did he find out things about her. Did he investigate who she is and ended up left in the lurch? It had to have been the circumstance.She groaned realizing she was failing. It's not as if she lied that much. What rotten thing is there to dig up about her?Or did he get tired? Did he get fed up or he just doesn't want to involve himself with another woman since according to him, his heart is forever for his wife? She cringed at that thought.She's gonna have to come up with something else and this time, she ca

Alex opened the envelope in his hands and brought out the document that was brought to him, engulfed in curiousness.He unfolded the paper and stared at the one important word. He dropped it down and took his phone, screening out his father's name then he made a call.After two rings. "Hello, dad.""Alex. You hardly call except if it's something important. What's up?" Robert asked."I need to speak to godfather. It's something important.""Is it what I think it is?" Robert asked again.Alex nodded. "Yeah. I don't have his number so tell him we need to meet at Haven, an hour from now.""Alright then. I'll convey that."Alex nodded again and hung the call-up."Is that..."Robert turned and looked at his son, Andrew."Was that Alex on the phone?" Andrew asked.Robert nodded. "Yeah. We were both talking about something important, why?"Andrew shook his head. "Nothing. I've just been trying his number but he's ignoring my calls."Robert rose a brow. "Oh.

Andrea opened the office door of Elena who was overseeing some paperwork for her new restaurant. Elena looked up and smiled. "I was informed of your visit."Andrea nodded and dragged a chair. "I saw what happened between you and my brother. That girl that came between you two..."Elena shook her head. "Don't worry, we've solved the matter and as it turns out, I and your brother are still married."Andrea's mouth fell open in shock. "What?""He never took it to court. He threw it into the ocean."Andrea blinked and looked away still in shock. "Wow. That brother of mine."Elena nodded. "I know, right? Though no one has to know, especially our enemies."Andrea equally nodded. "Talking about enemies, the main reason I came here was to tell you that that girl that came between the both of you wasn't ordinary, it was planned."Elena furrowed her brows in confusion. "Planned? What do you mean?""I knew I saw your mother in that event but it wasn't that clear. After you guys left, I followed

Tucking his kids in the back seat, Alex entered his car and called Liam. He's been curious about how the raid went but this new information he received from his dad has taken over his train of thought.Liam finally answered his call as he walked out of his captain's office. "Why didn't you pick up my call earlier?" He asked as he got to his desk."Talking to my dad, how did it go?"Liam nodded. "It went well. We got them all, and no one escaped. We also confiscated all the drugs in their hold.""That's good news. Have you gotten any information from them?"Liam shook his head. "That's the problem. No one is talking. They're all quiet.""They're probably scared.""Still, we're trying to get information from them. We caught them red-handed, there's nothing they can do to get themselves out of it."Alex nodded. "Alright. Just keep me updated.""I will."As Alex hung up, he looked out the window and he heard his name."ALEX!"He frowned wondering why Andrew is calling him, so urgently. He
