Chasing the Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 51
ISABELLA'S POVI rubbed my eyes as the faint light from the morning rays shone through my window.I arose with a jerk as soon as I remembered what was happening today.It was finally the day of the fundraising event.It is the same event I have been planning for a while now.Everything had to be perfect.I yawned and pushed the covers off, sliding out of the bed with my bare feet sinking onto the cool floors.I walked over to my wardrobe, glancing at my reflection in the large mirror beside it.My hair was a mess from sleep, and my face still had that dry, rough look.Opening the wardrobe, I began sifting through my clothes.I needed something that exuded confidence and grace. I touched a tailored black dress and shook my head.“Too formal,”Next, I considered a deep red gown but decided against it; it felt too bold for the morning event. Finally, my hand fell on a soft lavender dress with delicate lace sleeves and a subtle shimmer.It was elegant and not in an odd way.It had just

ISABELLA'S POVI left the multipurpose hall with my heart racing. My hands adhered to the steering wheel tightly as I navigated through the hospital grounds, urging my car to move faster.Within five minutes, I was already pulling into the parking lot of the main complex again.The moment I turned off the ignition, I was out of the car, not even bothering to glance at the time.I quickly locked the door and started running toward the hospital entrance.But halfway there, I realized I had forgotten my phone.“Damn it.”I turned on my heel, sprinted back, unlocked the car, grabbed the phone, and locked the door again.Time seemed to slip through my fingers as I hurried into the building, throwing my legs furtively. In minutes, I found myself near the door of the judge's ward. The first thing that caught my eye were the police protocols in place—the tall, muscular bodyguards stationed outside the door. For a moment, I hesitated, but then I noticed their eyes on me.They recognized me

ISABELLA'S POVI sat in my office, staring blankly at the paperwork in front of me. A small smile was on my face, and my pen was moving across an open page, but instead of writing anything coherent, I found myself doodling absent-mindedly.My thoughts kept drifting to one person... Michael. A small smile touched my face as I set my pen aside, leaning back in my chair.Exhaling deeply, I reflected on the growing bond between us. It was hard to believe how quickly things had changed.Michael had somehow become a constant presence in my life these past few days, always showing up at the hospital to pick me up after my shifts. Thanks to him, I rarely drove myself anywhere anymore.My thoughts drifted to the day of the fundraiser again.I replayed the scene in my head—how I had walked into that near empty hall—with disappointment. But before panic could take hold, there he was, the first person to notice my distress. Michael had been by my side in an instant, calming me down and help

ISABELLA'S POVThe moment Michael’s lips touched mine, it felt as if something came alive inside of me. I yielded to the warmth of his mouth, and like a hungry bear, his hairy hands gripped the curves of my waist, pulling me so close that I felt the rough texture of his chest hair on my supple skin.My heart thumped a little bit faster, each beat echoing. Our kiss deepened, tongues touching, and his hot breath brushed the side of my face.Soon, I started to feel my joints vibrating to an electric surge.His touch was like fire on my skin, igniting every nerve. As his hands moved up my back, unzipping my dress, I arched into him, wanting more, needing more.Before I knew it, we were stumbling towards his bedroom, leaving our scattered clothes along the way, from his trousers to my bra and on and on. By the time we got to the bed, our pale bodies were completely bare and fastened together, with the kissing and touching intensifying by twice.The air was heavy with the scent of desi

Nathan’s POVMy Bentley glided through the gate of the luxurious estate. The morning was still quite young, yet a long procession of luxury vehicles was already making its way into the vicinity.Many uniformed officers were waiting at the route, their white-gloved hands directing the cars with practiced authority.As I neared the entrance, one officer signaled for me to slow down.I maneuvered into the space he showed me to and then eased the car to a stop with a final press of the brake. After that, I stepped out of the car, the door shutting with a solid thud behind me. Around me, other executives were doing the same thing; their movements were fluid and measured.The main conference hall was just a few steps ahead. I joined the stream of attendees heading toward its entrance, all of us making purposeful strides and a few of them murmuring quick conversations. Some faces were familiar, others less so, but we were all here for the same reason: the announcements of the long-awaite

General POV Nathan was still looking confused as he stared back at Scarlett. He could see the pain in her expression, and it felt weird to him. Scarlett, on the other hand, still had that wild, desperate look that seemed to accuse them both of something Nathan couldn’t quite grasp. Lilian did not respond to the question; she took a step back as soon as she sensed the thick tension in the air, her own anxiety rising as she waited for Nathan to say something—anything—to break the silence. She glanced at him repeatedly, her eyes searching his face for a clue, but he seemed just as puzzled; his gaze remained fixed on Scarlett, his lips parted as though he was about to say something, but in the preceding seconds, nothing came out of his mouth. Then, as more seconds dragged by, and with the tensions between the three of them heating up, Lilian could no longer bear the silence and piercing gaze of Scarlett that seemed to be boring into her, so she decided to give them space. "I shoul

ISABELLA'S POVIt was about 6:20 pm. Michael and I were at the Zuni Cafe.The faint hum of jazz played in the background, and it blended seamlessly with the gentle clinking of our glasses as well as the flirtatious laughter from nearby tables. Michael and I were flirting with ourselves, too.His smile was easy, and his posture relaxed. He had this way of making every moment feel like it was carved from something rare and precious. As he spoke, he cupped a hand lazily over his mouth, his voice low and carrying a soft, amused lilt that made me forget everything beyond this place.“You know,” he was saying. “I still can’t believe you thought I was just some guy who didn’t know how to drive.” He chuckled, teasing me about the stupid back and forth he and I had in the car on our way here minutes ago.I laughed, rolling my eyes. “You were driving like a maniac, Michael. I had every right to question your sanity.” He smirked, leaning forward, his fingers brushing lightly against mine

ISABELLA'S POVThree days had passed since my last visit to the hospital. I stood in my room, the morning light filtered through the curtains.I toweled my hair dry, feeling the damp curls fall against my shoulders before I pulled them back.I selected a crisp white blouse and a tailored black skirt that held snugly at my waist. I wanted to look and feel professional and confident for work today. I was particularly strong today compared to a few days ago, but that was, by the way.I slipped on my favorite low black heels, feeling the slight lift as I stood taller. As I reached for my leather handbag, I started gathering my essentials: my phone, stethoscope, patient files, and a small notebook.Everything went into my bag, my movements precise and almost automatic. When I felt ready, I headed for the door, but then I slowed, my steps hanging as an important thought suddenly weighed heavily on my mind. My foundation... Even with the generous donations from the last two surgeries, i

ISABELLA'S POVA year had passed since our wedding ceremony, and as expected, so much had changed. And this change began from where we had chosen to start a family.A towering off white mansion.It was everything we had dreamed of as a couple: It really made the experience feel like what it was called—exactly settling down.Think about the spaciousness; think about meaningful layout. It was just perfect.However, our new home was one out of many of the positive developments. My career as the “Phantom Medic” had soared in ways I hadn’t thought possible. Over the past year, I could no longer count the number of lives, performing surgeries that others deemed initially impossible had saved.My renown had grown by twice, not just as a surgeon but as an advocate. Remember the foundation I had fought so hard to establish? It had also grown to become a beacon for research into rare diseases, and that had been a deeply personal mission born out of my own health struggles... my near-death

ISABELLA'S POVThree weeks had passed, and it felt like a lifetime since everything had come together so perfectly. I was standing at the entrance of the outdoor venue of Augustine's parish, it was the same church my maternal grandfather currently attended.The garden was so, so breathtaking.The large hall adjacent to the garden was filled up with family, friends and well wishers.The groom boy, Michael, my grandparents, cheerful as always, was sitting proudly among executives from his family's company. His own family mingled with the guests, their smiles radiating pride. My parents, always a picture of grace, were seated in the front row. My dad, Elliot Harrington, was wearing a navy blue suit that complimented his tall frame, while my mother looked radiant in an elegant gown. Owen and Nathan, my loving brothers, sat beside them. Owen, always the typical charmer that he was, wore a fitted burgundy suit.While Nathan opted for a classic black tuxedo, looking more reserved than

MICHAEL’S POVMy grandparent’s large living room felt like a theater of looming judgment this afternoon.Every seat was occupied, and none of us was sitting with ease. It was like we all had fire under our buttocks.At the head of the room, Grandpa Howard sat, his large frame rigid in his high-backed chair, his normal face was a mask of barely contained rage, lips pursed, eyes narrowed. He gripped the armrests, staring at Elsa, who, as usual, was sitting in the far corner of the room; this time, she was avoiding his gaze like it would burn her alive.Her posture was stiff, hands clenched tightly in her lap, her eyes moving about in every direction but Grandpa’s.I found myself also mirroring Grandpa’s expression, the same fire in my own eyes.I could feel my parents sitting on either side of me, their faces drawn tight with disgust, eyes locked on Elsa.My mother’s lips were twisted, and my father’s fingers twitched as though ready to lash out at any moment. The only person who wasn

ISABELLA’S POVI was sitting on my couch that afternoon, my TV tuned on some spaces away. The live broadcast had been on for nearly an hour, but my focus hadn’t wavered. There on the screen was Michael, seated among the press, his expression calm but resolute, just as we had rehearsed together the night before. His dark suit was perfectly tailored, and his eyes were sharp. Michael sat in the center of the long table, surrounded by journalists whose pens moved rapidly across their notepads, eager to catch every word.His posture was upright, shoulders squared, but I could of course feel the tension he bore.I leaned forward on the couch as Michael began speaking, his voice strong and unwavering despite the gravity of what he was about to expose."After months of working with Robert Carlisle, I’ve uncovered disturbing truths." Michael began, his voice steady but his eyes darkening with emotion."I discovered that he’s been altering the properties of our product to make it more addict

GENERAL POVOwen stood in front of the full-length mirror, tightening his tie with slow, deliberate movements. His reflection stared back.He brushed a few wrinkles from his collar, muttering under his breath, ticking off the list of meetings and cover-ups waiting for him at the office. After some time of thinking about the office and where he had to be, the same old thoughts crept back, uninvited and heavy.The same old sense of discomfort he had tried to bury for days now…his tangled feelings for Claire.Came yet again.However, his thought pattern was a little different this time.For reasons he couldn't explain, the scene from that fateful night replayed in his head.He had gone to meet her, intent on laying everything out his feelings, urge to speak his mind only to find her in the VIP section, lips locked with another man. Owen had frozen, his eyes startled and alarmed.But thinking about it now, what had haunted him more than the betrayal was actually her reaction. Claire ha

ISABELLA'S POVI sat at the edge of my couch, my mind a storm of thoughts.It's been three days. Three days since I’d stormed out of Scarlett’s place, a trip of reconciliation that had quickly developed into something else I didn't bargain for.Now, it was followed by her trying to reach out to me, forwarding. desperate and pleading in the text messages...I had ignored them all, as if refusing to acknowledge them would make the gnawing suspicion less real.My gaze drifted out of the window. Inside me, there was only a deepening gloom. The things I had seen that day, the contracts with Xander, strange inconsistencies in Scarlett’s defense—it had all begun to fester like an open wound.No, something isn’t right. The words escaped my lips in a low murmur, barely audible.I needed answers. And I needed them now. I picked up my phone, quickly dialing Claire’s number and agitation in my veins.“Good morning, Dr. Isabella,” Claire’s voice greeted me, bright and efficient as always.“Morn

MICHAEL’S POV The moment I stepped into the club,music hit me, vibrating floors dim lights, charged atmosphere…name it. I paused just inside the entrance, scanning the room casually, my eyes adjusting to the low lighting as I searched for Owen. We had agreed to meet here. The club was one of those exclusive spots, packed with people who knew they were being watched but pretended otherwise. As I looked around, I saw a few groups clustered in private booths, laughter merged with the hum of conversation, while some others wriggled their tiny waists on the dance floor. Taking a breath, I made my way in, walking slowly and moving through the crowd, my hands brushing past people’s shoulders. Owen would be waiting in the VIP section, and I needed not to rush to get there. However, the urgency of what brought me drove me. The VIP area was cordoned off by a velvet rope, guarded by a bouncer who gave me a curt nod of recognition before unhooking the rope. I slipped past without a

ISABELLA'S POVNathan had shared with me how Scarlett had been visiting him of late, lingering too long at his door, just enough to stir old wounds. And even reaching out to the estate security personnel whenever he wasn't around. At least it showed a level of desperation on her part. And that was why I was on my way there today.Despite the hurt, part of me hoped we could still talk this out. Even though restoring her back into his life wouldn't be all that possible.But we could still arrive at something that works. Just like James and I had done.After all, we had been friends for years. All I wanted was a hint of remorse from her, an acknowledgment of the line she had crossed.As I parked in front of the gallery, the emptiness of the space mirrored the hollow feeling in my chest. The lights were off, the windows dark, and not a soul in sight. I stood for a moment, staring at the locked door, a quiet sigh escaping my lips. So, she wasn’t here. And perhaps indoors or something

GENERAL POVOwen pushed the door to his apartment and entered.He shut the door softly behind him, pausing for a second, as though leaving the world outside was not quite enough.He moved with slow, deliberate steps, crossing the room with a weariness that had become second nature to him over the past few days.His face was hard to read; his brows were slightly drawn, lost in thought.When Owen reached his bedroom, he stopped at the center of the room, standing there as though uncertain of what to do next.His eyes were scanning the space, landing on nothing in particular, and for a long moment, he didn’t move.The room felt too big, too empty. It swallowed him whole.With a heavy sigh, his hand reached up to undo the buttons of his shirt, one by one, slowly. The fabric fell away from his body, and he carelessly tossed it onto the bed. He stood shirtless and then made to sit down on the edge of the bed, elbows resting on his knees, hands clasped loosely as his head hung low.For day
