Chasing His Betrayed Ex-Wife Chapter 19- No escaping the Past
Clarissa Pov I emerged from the car, feeling the cool evening breeze brush against my skin. As I stood up and surveyed my surroundings, I noticed Harper’s gaze scanning me. I forced a smile, hoping it conveyed sincerity. She approached, her eyes sharp and observant.“Where have you been?” she inquired, her tone casual yet her eyes probing.I glanced back at Aiden, who was still hanging back. “Dominic was meant to take me out, but we had a bit of a disagreement. He changed his mind and brought me home instead,” I replied smoothly, meeting Harper’s curious gaze.Her eyes narrowed slightly as she processed my words, but she managed to smile. “You did well to hold your ground. Do you know where Dominic is now?”I shook my head, striving to appear indifferent. “No idea.”Harper seemed to mull this over for a moment. “You know, I’ve always thought you had a talent for keeping things lively,” she remarked, her tone light but with an undercurrent of something more. “How about we grab breakfa

I spent the rest days in bed, finally opening my eyes the next morning, fully aware of how drained I felt. The weight of everything that had happened the day before hung heavily on me. Glancing at the clock, I saw it was only eight in the morning, and I let out a groan as a knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. It swung open to reveal Dominic stepping into the room. Seeing him made me groan again, rolling my eyes in frustration. Did he really think it was acceptable to just barge in like that? “Good morning, I see you’re already awake,” he said, checking his watch. My mind drifted back to the previous day, recalling how he had erupted in anger in the car simply because I had spoken the truth. I turned away from him, choosing not to acknowledge his greeting. If he wanted to be rude, I could match that energy. “I’m sorry for how I reacted yesterday. It was wrong of me to try to change who you are. I hope you can forgive me. I want to make this work, so please give me a chance,”

Third person POV Ivan was seething with rage, his plans shattered the moment the truth emerged. He despised that Dominic always seemed to be one step ahead, and it infuriated him. He was on the verge of marrying a woman he had desired for years, only to have her reject him for Dominic, Eve, now known as Clarissa. This was his golden chance to bring Dominic down, especially after he had taken his wife a year ago. Clarissa had no recollection of that time, leaving her mind open for Ivan to manipulate in his favor.Since her arrival in Italy, he had refused to leave, hiding with his men and biding his time for the perfect moment to strike against the Italian mafia. Ivan had grown up under the shadow of the mafia, with Dominic as his brother, but his greed consumed him. When his uncle offered him a chance to control the Russian mafia, he betrayed the guidance he had received, driven by a desire for revenge that only fueled his animosity toward Dominic.“What’s the update?” Ivan demanded

Clarissa POVDominic approached the man outside, who leaned in to whisper something to him. In an instant, Dominic's expression shifted to one of seriousness, and when his gaze met mine, I felt a lump form in my throat. Something deep inside me suggested that whatever was said had something to do with me, drawing his attention. Once the man finished speaking, he entered the room, leaving Dominic to address me."Once you're finished here, my men will escort you back. I need to get back to work," he stated before stepping out, leaving me feeling exposed and vulnerable.Without a moment's hesitation, I hurriedly slipped on my clothes and rushed out of the dressing room, but he was already gone. Whatever had come up seemed pressing enough to pull him away."Do you know where the boss went?" I asked one of the men Dominic had left behind.He shrugged, his broad shoulders indicating indifference. "No idea," he replied, his voice rough."Can I give you a ride home?" he asked unexpectedly."

The hours slipped away, and I found myself retreating to my room, tears streaming down my face. What kind of life had I cherished before everything fell apart? I pondered this while standing in the shower, lost in thought, when suddenly there was a knock at the door. Wrapping a towel around myself, I made my way to the door and opened it to find a maid waiting, her gaze fixed on me. “I apologize for the interruption, but the Don has requested your presence at dinner in twenty minutes,” she said gently. “Alright, I’ll be there,” I replied, closing the door behind me and exhaling deeply. The men had delivered my clothes a few hours earlier, and I felt a wave of gratitude for the outfit I had chosen to wear during my stay here.I quickly slipped into a comfortable pair of jeans and a simple white top, the kind of attire that feels just right. As I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, I pulled my hair back into a loose ponytail. Stepping out of my room, I noticed the hallway wa

Third POV “Forgive me for my interpretation cousin, but what does Clarissa represent here in the mafia, her presence is a treat and from My research she is Russian, and her presence here does not sit well with the Russians” Vincent said and as everyone present gasped looked at him like he was insane.The tension in the air was thick enough to choke on, as if every breath had to fight its way out of our lungs. Dominic sat at the head of the table. His jaw was clenched tight, his dark eyes fixed with a simmering fury on the man sitting directly across from him Vincent.Dominic was composed, but that was always when he was the most dangerous. His silence had a gravity, and it pulled everyone in the room into its orbit. Even Vincent, who rarely seemed to be fazed by anyone or anything, couldn't ignore it.There was an undercurrent of power between the two of them, and it had been building for months. Dominic, the leader, the Don of the family the one whose word was law. And Vincent,

I didn’t know if I was to be angry or sad. I could see that not every one wanted me here and Vincent had expressed his anger toward that.But he was bested by Dominic, I didn’t know much but I could tell that the two of them didn’t get along after that conversation, I observe the way everyone sat still with fear as they watched the interaction without anyone saying a word to opppsed any of them.Then I knew, maybe only vincent had trooper to oppose his claim, I didn’t know why to think of him after all I had just met him a few minutes ago, but I knew the was something dangerous about him and I knew I would never eve go so close to him.I could still see the anger in Dominic eyes as Everyone ate their food and he sat ther drinking his wine, the was still tension in the air as everyone ate without a word or maybe they were scared or say any thing after what had happened between Dominic and Vincent.In a few minutes, Dominic had angrily stormed out of the dining, followed by vincent and

I suppressed my shock as I looked at him with horror, wondering how much more he had overheard. I knew i needed to act smart to cover up, i couldn't let him assumed the worst.Suddenly, I smiled, and I noticed his eyes dart to Lily. Unfortunately, she was quick enough to pull her hoodie over her head as she turned her face away.“I ask a question; did all of you go mute?” he snapped. I looked at him with a smile that I knew was fake, and my eyes narrowed at him.“Harper, she told me you killed her baby,” I lied, as his gaze pierced right through me. It was a foolish thing to say, but I knew I had to say something to escape whatever this was. I couldn't let him find out about that just yet; I had no idea how he would react or how it would end.“What!” he exclaimed, stepping closer to me.“Excuse me,” Lily said, turning and walking away quickly, but his eyes remained fixed on me.“I heard you say 'your baby.' Don’t play games with me,” he warned, and I looked at him with a smirk.“I’m

Chasing His Betrayed Ex-Wife Chapter 103- promise of love
She was correct. I was his vulnerability; everything that transpired with Dominic stemmed from me. How had I failed to recognize it? His love for me nearly shattered him. He was a proud man, unwilling to acknowledge it, yet I had been the one to ruin him.The morning sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting soft rays across the room. I lingered in bed longer than usual, my body feeling heavy and reluctant to rise.Meanwhile, Dominic had spent the night in Camila’s room. I could hear her cries of ecstasy echoing through the walls, and all I could do was weep into my pillow.Leo nestled closely in my arms, his gentle breathing creating a soothing rhythm against my chest. The thought of leaving him alone in his room, fearing he might be taken from me again, was unbearable; I couldn't let him out of my sight.A sudden knock at the door jolted me. I sighed, shifting slightly without disturbing him."Come in," I called softly, pulling Leo closer.The door creaked open, re
Chasing His Betrayed Ex-Wife Chapter 102- His weakness
I turned abruptly, my body instinctively orienting toward her.I wasn’t sure what I anticipated—surprise, anger, disgust—but what I received was far worse. Camila’s eyes widened, her pupils nearly engulfed by the intensity of what she was witnessing.Then the horror struck. Pure, visceral horror twisted her features as if she had been hit.Her voice sliced through the tension like a whip.“You… How could you do this?” she shouted.I stood frozen, my feet glued to the spot. Her voice echoed, and I could sense the pain lacing her words.Before I could respond, before I could even process what was happening, Dominic moved. In one smooth motion, he stepped in front of me, shielding me with his presence.“There’s no need to react or be dramatic,” he stated firmly. His tone was calm, yet the authority behind it made me flinch.Camila threw her head back and laughed, the sound sharp and piercing, as if ridiculing us both. Her laughter ceased abruptly, and when she turned to Dominic, her expr
Chasing His Betrayed Ex-Wife Chapter 101- sisters
There was no safety, no safety at all while Vincent and Ivan were out there.We worked tirelessly to find Vincent, but we weren't even close. Then, after three days, we received an unwelcome visitor.Harper just showed up at the mansion and wanted to talk. I didn't want to engage with her because of how she had treated and humiliated me countless times, but I couldn't turn her away.I walked into the courtyard where she sat, staring into space, and I could barely recognize her. Her hair was cut short, and she looked pale—too pale—and a bit thin.I stood there for more than a minute until her eyes fell on me. Then she smiled. I couldn't tell if it was genuine, but I knew she was trying to be friendly, which didn't sit well with me. I hadn't seen her for months, and honestly, I had never thought of her after all the harm she had caused me and our family.“Eve…” she stood up, calling me by my old name. I looked back at her with a poker face that revealed no emotions. I couldn't speak, no
Chasing His Betrayed Ex-Wife Chapter 100- love and fear
Charissa povI followed him into his office, my heart pounding in my chest as I watched his broad shoulders tense. He didn’t say a word as he entered, leaving the door open just long enough for me to step through before he shut it firmly behind me. The sound of the latch clicking into place echoed in the silence, making me flinch.For a second, I stood frozen, unsure of what was about to happen. I thought he was going to yell at me. Maybe he would tell me how reckless I had been, how my actions had put us in even more danger. His silence only made it worse; the weight of it pressed down on me, making it hard to breathe.But then, before I could say a word, he turned and pulled me into his arms. His embrace caught me off guard. I stiffened, my body unsure how to respond, but his arms tightened around me, holding me close, and gradually, I melted into him. I could feel the steady rhythm of his heartbeat against my back, and it was strangely soothing. “Dominic,” I whispered, my voic
Chasing His Betrayed Ex-Wife Chapter 99- Rage
I felt a little oppressed, to be sincere but that didn't stop me, three people had died last night and one of them was more than a sister to me ,and i wanted to see their death avenge by the man that killed then , nad the least thing i wanted was camilla adding him get away.Vincent was a nightmare and monster and he has caused me a lot of pain and sorrow, and more than anything I wanted him to pay for what he had done.I clenched my fists at my sides, my jaw tight. “I don’t have proof,” I admitted. “But I know she did it. She left last night, Vincent disappeared, and now she’s back like nothing happened? It doesn’t add up.”i said looking right into valentina eyes even though she was glaring daggers at me, i didn't care.Valentina’s lips curled into a sneer. “And who are you to make such accusations, hmm? You’re no one,Clarissa. Just the ex-wife of the Don. You hold no rank here, no authority. You should count yourself lucky that Dominic even lets you stay under his roof.”she snapped
Chasing His Betrayed Ex-Wife Chapter 98- Camilla
Charissa POVIt didn’t make sense. One minute he was there, and the next, it was as though he’d evaporated into the air. All night we had searched everywhere, but there were no traces of him. I stood in the corner of Dominic’s office, disoriented, clutching the edge of the desk for support. The room spun with the weight of realization: Vincent had escaped. And worse, he was free. After all the pain and suffering he had caused it hurt knowing he was finlaly free.The pain of it twisted my chest. The bastard was out there, walking away from everything he’d done, while we were left scrambling like fools in his wake. Dominic didn’t take it well either,he never did when things spun out of his control. All night long, he’d been shouting orders, barking at his men to search every inch of the property. But it was useless. The house was upended,closets emptied, floors torn apart, drawers overturned—and still, there was no sign of him.I sat there in silence as one of Dominic’s men stepped
Chasing His Betrayed Ex-Wife Chapter 97- The games that always works
Third Pov“What do you want?”she asked him and he grin, finally geting the reaction he had wanted.“I need you to help me now, dominic cant find me, if you hide me, i cnat walked out cheerfully out of the gates, but you can aid me”he said.Her eyes narrowed, but she didn’t deny it. “You’re playing a dangerous game, Vincent. What makes you think I’d risk my position to help you?” she asked him.Vincent leaned against the wall, his confidence unwavering. “Because I can help *you*. You want Dominic’s attention, don’t you? Want him to stop pining after Carissa and focus on you for once?” he said, uing his favioute tricks which neveeed failed him.That was how he had always got what he wanted, by using peoples want and needs to get them to aid him,or fall for his games.Camila’s expression faltered, just for a moment. But it was enough. Vincent knew he’d hit a nerve. “And how exactly do you plan to do that?” she asked, stepping closer to him. Her tone was skeptical, but curiosity flickere
Chasing His Betrayed Ex-Wife Chapter 96- Escape in the shadows
Vincent moved with calculated precision the moment the gun went off in his hand. His body slipped into the darkness, quick and silent, as the sound of footsteps thundered down the hall. He pressed himself against the cold stonewall of the cells corridor, eyes sharp, watching as Dominic and his men sprinted past him, guns drawn and rage palpable in the air. The chaos his gunshot had caused was his opening, and he wasn’t about to waste it. Yet he knew this place like the back of his hand. He’d grown up within these walls, surrounded by secrets, blood, and betrayal. He understood the mansion’s defenses better than anyone. The guards, the locks, the escape routes,Dominic had fortified it over the years, making it nearly impenetrable. Escaping unnoticed would be impossible. But Vincent didn’t plan to slip out the gate unnoticed. He smirked to himself, the gun still warm in his grip. If he couldn’t run, he’d make himself a problem Dominic couldn’t ignore. He moved through the shadows
Chasing His Betrayed Ex-Wife Chapter 95- Villain victory
I pulled up in front of Dominic’s gate, my hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. My heart was hammering in my chest as I glanced at the dashboard clock. How long has it been? An hour? Two? I couldn’t think straight. All I knew was she’d left home and I knew so well she was coming here. A million worst-case scenarios raced through my mind. I prayed I wasn’t too late. The gate creaked open as soon as the guards saw it was me. Without hesitation, I drove in fast, tires screeching slightly as I swerved into the garage. Throwing the car into park, I jumped out and barked at one of the men standing nearby. “Wake the boss! We have a breach!” My voice was sharper than I intended, but I didn’t care. The man nodded and turned to leave, but before he could take a step, the sound of gunfire shattered the tense silence. My stomach dropped. Two gunshots. My body froze for a split second, but then instinct kicked in, and I bolted toward the entrance to the u
