CHASING THE BILLIONAIRE'S SUBSTITUTE EX-WIFE More Than Ready
EZEKIELAs I paced around my penthouse, I dialed Brooks, my assistant. The phone rang a couple of times before he picked up.“Morning, Mr. Harrington,” Brooks greeted with a chipper tone as always.“Morning, Brooks,” I replied. “Did the flowers get delivered to Vivienne?”To be honest, I was shocked when I found out that Vivienne and the kids suddenly went back to New York without telling me. I was confused, maybe even a little hurt. But I tried to see it from her side. Maybe she needed space or was trying to figure things out on her own. I could understand that. But I couldn’t help but feel like she was testing me, seeing if I’d just let it go. Well, if that’s what she’s doing, then I’ll take it as a challenge. I’ve still got a lot to deal with here in Paris, but it can wait. The moment I found out she left, I didn’t think twice—I booked a flight to New York. Then I asked my assistant to send her a bouquet of her favorite flowers to let her know that I’d follow her anywhere she go
CHASING THE BILLIONAIRE'S SUBSTITUTE EX-WIFE Little Secret
VIVIENNE STOOD IN the living room. She still couldn’t take her eyes off the light pink lilies that Ezekiel had sent her. Its petals were soft and beautiful, and the sight of them made her heart warm. Ever since, she was really fond of lilies and Ezekiel knew that. The note that accompanied the flowers was still in her hand, and she read it once more. The words were simple, but they affected her in a way she couldn’t ignore: “Vienne, these flowers are for you. I heard you flew back to New York, and it seems like perfect timing since I planned on returning to New York too. See you soon. — Ezekiel.”A few of the maids passed by, noticing the bouquet on the table. One of them, a middle-aged woman with a kind smile, commented, “Those are beautiful flowers, ma’am. Must be from someone special, huh?” Another maid joined in, her eyes twinkling with curiosity. “Yes, ma’am, they’re lovely. Is it from an admirer?”Vivienne gave a small, almost nervous smile. If only they knew who sent them…

VIVIENNEWhen I saw Ezekiel standing there, my heart almost stopped. I had no idea he meant it when he wrote "see you soon" in that note. I thought it was just something people say, not something he actually planned to act on so quickly. But here he was, sooner than I ever expected, and I wasn’t prepared for it!Seeing him now, looking so sure of himself, made me panic. I didn’t know how to handle this—how to handle him—especially not today."Uh, Ezekiel… what are you doing here?" I stammered with my eyes wide in surprise. I tried to keep my voice steady but I failed. Vera wasted no time running up to him, throwing her arms around his legs. "Daddy! You made it!"He scooped her up with that effortless charm, kissing her on the cheek. "Of course, I did, princess. I wouldn't miss this for the world."I stared at them, piecing it all together. Vera’s secretive behavior, Ezekiel showing up out of nowhere—it all made sense now. I turned to Vera, trying to keep my voice light. "You knew ab
CHASING THE BILLIONAIRE'S SUBSTITUTE EX-WIFE Picnic
VIVIENNE"Stay where I can see you!" I called after the twins, though I doubted they even heard me.As we passed through the first activity which was the trust fall, I reminded the kids not to wander too far. But they were already off, running ahead to explore all the other activities. I tried to keep up, but their energy was limitless, and I quickly found myself lagging behind.Ezekiel walked beside me, taking it all in stride. He glanced at me and smiled. "Take it easy. Let them enjoy themselves,” he told me. “I’m just worried they would hurt themselves or something,” I reasoned out. But he just smiled cooly. “Isn’t that part of growing up?” I raised an eyebrow at his statement. I felt the urge to counter him, to say that he just couldn’t understand what it was like to be so overprotective of Vince and Vera because he wasn’t there from the start. He didn’t know the sleepless nights, the constant worry, the overwhelming responsibility of raising them on my own. But as the words

EZEKIELLooking at Vivienne, Vera, and Vince sitting beside me and us, having a picnic made me feel some sort of contentment. When was the last time I did this? Or did I ever experience having a picnic before? I watched Vera and Vince dig into their food, and for a moment, everything felt just right.I pulled out my phone and started taking pictures of the kids. I couldn’t stop myself from capturing every moment. Then I turned to her brother who was beside her. "Hey, Vince, smile for the camera!" I called out, and he gave me a half-smile, his usual reserved self. Vera, on the other hand, was all giggles, posing with her sandwich like she was on a magazine cover. “Me too, Dad!” she said. “Alright.” After a while, I turned the camera toward Vivienne. She was sitting quietly, looking at the kids with a soft expression. I snapped a picture before she even noticed, wanting to remember how beautiful she looked at that moment, even with her messy hair.“You three, smile all together,”
CHASING THE BILLIONAIRE'S SUBSTITUTE EX-WIFE More Time With Them
VIVIENNEMy heart automatically ached when Ezekiel mentioned our first child. Although years had already passed and I even got Vera and Vince now, the pain of the miscarriage was never really gone. It just stayed within me, occasionally getting triggered. I could still clearly remember how alone I felt during that time. How everything seemed to crumble around me. And worst of all, I felt like I had lost Ezekiel too. He became so distant, so cold. It was as if the miscarriage took away more than just our child; it took away the man I had fallen in love with.But I didn’t want to dwell on those thoughts. So, I pushed the negative feelings aside."Anyways," I began, trying to change the subject, "don’t you have work to do? How were you able to travel from Paris to New York and come here to the park with us?"Ezekiel looked at me. The guilt faded from his expression. He was probably guilty when he brought up our lost child earlier. Now, a small smile played on his lips again. "I cance
CHASING THE BILLIONAIRE'S SUBSTITUTE EX-WIFE Move In
VIVIENNEI had to be fair. Ezekiel had missed so much of Vince and Vera’s lives, and as much as I wanted to keep them close to me, I knew I couldn’t be selfish. To be honest, I wasn’t used to the idea of being away from my kids for three days at a time, but I needed to get used to it. I had to remind myself that this wasn’t just about me anymore. This was mainly about what was best for Vince and Vera too.So, after our family day at the adventure park and after Ezekiel and I had an agreement, I knew it was time to talk to the kids. I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves as I gathered them in the living room. Vince and Vera sat on the couch and their curious eyes were on me, waiting for whatever I was about to say.“Kids,” I began, my voice soft but firm, “I need to talk to you about something important.”Vera perked up immediately, always eager to know what was going on. Vince, on the other hand, looked a bit wary, like he already sensed that this wasn’t going to be someth
CHASING THE BILLIONAIRE'S SUBSTITUTE EX-WIFE Disappointment?
EZEKIEL“Are everything perfect already?” I asked the room organizer I hired to fix the rooms of Vince and Vera in my house. “Yes, Sir. Everything’s according to what you wanted us to do.” “Good.” I had been planning for this day ever since Vivienne and I agreed on the new arrangement. It wasn’t easy, trying to juggle my work and getting everything ready for Vince and Vera. But I wanted it to be perfect. I spent hours guiding the organizers fixing up their rooms, making sure every detail was just right. I wanted them to feel at home here, to know that this place was just as much theirs as it was mine.The day had finally come, and as I stood in the hallway, waiting for the kids to finish examining the house, I felt nervous and excited at the same time. I wanted them to love it here. I wanted them to feel like they belonged.“Okay, are you two ready to see your rooms?” I asked, trying to keep the anticipation out of my voice.Vera’s eyes lit up, and she practically bounced on her f
