Divorce To Restart: Vengeful Ex-Wife Strikes Back! Mini Nina
Chapter 80 Mini NinaREMINGTON HOSPITAL, NEW YORK.“What the hell is happening?” Xander bellowed as he paced the hall back and forth. No one has attended to them just yet. Carla informed him that Nina was getting the needed attention from the doctors. However, it didn’t stop Xander from being on edge. Venus walked towards them hurriedly with her heels hitting on the floor hand. “Baby.” She let out breathless. “Mama, what are you doing here?” Xander asked with a furrowed brow. “I called Jace, and he told me that Nina was at the hospital. I had to come. How are you feeling, baby? Carla, thanks so much for being here.” She said to Carla, who responded with a polite nod. He sniffed, looking towards the labor room. “I don’t know, mum. I am worried.” Xander admitted. Venus pulled him into an embrace, caressing his hair gently. “It's going to be okay, baby. Nina is a strong woman, and she will pull through.” They kept pacing the hall back and forth for the next eight to nine hours. Ni

Chapter 81 Rekindling EmotionsNINA’S HOME, NEW YORK.“It smells great in here,” Xander commented as he entered the house. “Hey, mama.” He cooed at Winter, lifting her from her cot and petting her to sleep. Nina stared at him affectionately. She has been thinking of her discussion with Venus since noon. Thoughts of Xander have her mind preoccupied. “You know your mum, she is an amazing cook. She also made sure to dress Winter up for bed. Your dad came to pick her up and brought me a box of doughnuts.”He laughed. “Why would he do that? Are you even allowed to eat something like that?” “He said he checked online, and it says new mums can have a few treats. And he was right; I polished half of the box in one go.” She boasted. “Yeah, right.” He replied, laughing softly to avoid waking Winter. “As for mum, she is only doing her duty as a grandmother should.” Nina thinned her lips, still smiling. “Should I serve you dinner now, or you will freshen up first?” Xander placed Winter cauti

Chapter 82 Brothers For LifeX&J EMPIRE, NEW YORK.Xander groaned inwardly, dropping his pen in frustration. Working and concentrating seem more complicated than usual. He didn’t realize how much Jace's presence impacted him until now. Their mother has always said that Jace is like their father whenever he avoids someone. He probably should have taken it seriously and not offended him.At the same time, apologizing doesn’t seem appropriate on his end. His ego is the problem if he has to be sincere. He sighed heavily and almost looked hopeful when the door opened to let someone in. Xander’s shoulder fell when it turned out to be Dawn. For a second, he hoped it would be Jace.“Hey, you,” Dawn mumbled with a big smile.He almost cringed at it. It's been a while since they acted that friendly to each other. Not on his end, though. “Hi.”“I need you to sign these documents.” She said, placing the file on his table.“You could have sent someone to bring it or just handed it to Lisa,” Xander

Chapter 83 The SlyCOLE’S SPOT, NEW YORK.Andrea blinked in disbelief; she shifted slightly in her chair to look at those seated at the rear end of the space. There is no way that Nina is with Xander. Her informant couldn’t get much on her as Nina kept a shallow profile, which isn’t surprising. Nina has always loved to stay hidden.She had scoffed at the idea of Nina ever getting a chance to meet anyone better than Asher. But from the look of things, she seems cozy with the CEO of X&J. She had doubted they were the one until she took a closer look. Is it possible that they rekindled the old flame? Nina must have been desperate and ignored what happened between them in college so that she could hang around him.On second thought, that is something she would do, not Nina. A sudden burst of anger filled her up as she clenched her fist. How dare Nina give her a finished and almost bankrupt man to end up with the wealthiest bachelor in New York? Nina has no reason to be happy as she is und

Chapter 84 Brewing AngerTAYLOR’S HOME, NEW YORK.“Urgh!” Andrea groaned as she kicked at the dresser in anger. She couldn’t push away everything on it as they were too expensive, and there wasn’t any money to repurchase it. She paced the room repeatedly, letting out a string of curses. Nina has grown balls more than she would have expected. Her words had sent chills down Andrea's spine, and it had taken her a lot of effort not to let herself be affected by it. Xander Jackson, of all people, the simp, must have done everything to tell Nina that he had nothing to do with the cheating. What does Nina possess to have the best men run after her? A dangerous smirk appeared on her face. Nina will never have the last laugh, and that is not happening. She heard Asher’s car drive in. It fueled her to rant, causing her to storm the living room. “Asher!” Andrea hollered. “What the fuck!” He retorted, staggering backward at the shock. “Why would you yell out my name like that?” “I shouldn’t

Chapter 85 The ProcessNINA’S HOME, NEW YORK.“I am telling you, Tania. That witch dared to stand before me and act like nothing foul happened between us.” Nina ranted into the receiver. She can’t seem to get over Andrea’s attitude the day before. It felt like she wasn’t in her right senses, talking like they had only lost each other’s contact. Tania let out a string of curses. “I should have been there to beat the living daylight out of her. She is such a bitch!” Nina ruffled her hair. “I really can’t wait to teach her a lesson. I want to see how she would be able to live knowing that Asher is no longer as wealthy as she thinks him to be.” “Serves her right. Now that she isn’t the billionaire heir as expected anymore, she might be seeking out another home to wreck. You should be careful with Xander.” “I would be damned if I let what happened with Asher happen again. Moreover, Xander is not shallow like Asher is. I have had enough of being tossed around by those morons. I think i

Chapter 86 Spilling The Beans JACE’S PENTHOUSE, NEW YORK. “Are you expecting someone?” Tania asked Jace when the doorbell rang. Jace paused with his caressing of her bare back. “No. And I am not expecting a delivery.” She got up when it rang again. “I will head into the room and put on a shirt. You never know if it’s one of your family members.”He groaned inwardly at the interruption. Since it was the weekend, he only wanted time alone with Tania. She hardly has time during the week due to her schedule at school, and now that she is here, whoever is at the door won’t let them be alone. Dragging his feet, he pressed on the tab and frowned. “Minny?” “Who is it?” Tania inquired, peeking behind him. “I… I, it's no one important.” He stuttered. She gave him a different look. “She doesn’t seem unimportant if she knows your house. And the look on her face shows that she won’t leave until you attend to her.” Before he could decide if he wanted to open the door, Tania flung it open.

Chapter 87 All the soft moansXANDER’S HOME, NEW YORK.“That food was so good.” Nina complimented as she rested her head on Xander’s chest.He hummed in response, enjoying the ambiance of the evening. The beauty his house garden provides makes it pleasant to relax at any time of the day. “I knew you would like it. I had to call the chef in special. How are you feeling?”“Relaxed and happy. I can’t remember the last time I felt this way. And I have to admit, do not crucify me, though. It feels good not to be pregnant.”Xander let out a light laugh at her admittance. “It's alright. I hear it can be burdening.”“It was. At the same time, I am so glad it was all worth it. I have the most beautiful baby I will love until my last breath. And I have you to thank for that, Xander.” She said, looking up at him. “You planted the desire to love her even before her arrival. My heart has found many reasons to love again despite my woes.”He placed a kiss on her forehead. “I am glad to know you are

BONUS CHAPTER“Are you ready for tonight, Mia?!” Xander smirked as he sat beside Nina, watching a movie on Netflix and chewing on popcorn. “What’s happening tonight?” She asked, looking at him and pretending not to understand.“Well, why did we ask my mom to care for our baby?” He grinned sheepishly.“Did we plan to do that?” Nina grinned, too.“Well, put this aside.” He took the popcorn from her thighs and placed it on the table. Nina rolled my eyes, hiding her smile. “Oh, not today,” she tried to escape, but Xander quickly grabbed her. “Don’t you dare!” He laughed, tickling her that she laughed so hard. His hand reached for her bare thighs. And before she knew it, Xander grabbed her and pushed her down on the couch. It was fast! He pulled her legs apart and gave her breasts a rough squeeze. He positioned Nina just like he wanted. He yanked off his belt and tied her hand above her head. “Nasty, isn’t it?” Nina giggled.“Wait till I’m in full mood!” Xander removed her pants and sh

She had come in to change after Winter doused the other dress with candy juice as they were due to take pictures. Tania huffed tiredly. “How else do you want the dress to look on you, Nina? You look beautiful enough. Come on now, Winter would be waiting, wondering what her dearest mama is still doing hidden away.” Venus peeked into the room. “We are waiting for you. Nina, Winter is eager to cut her cake.” She called out. “Yes, Mum, I am coming.” She replied. Nina’s face fell as she stared at herself intensely. Tania walked up to her and rubbed her back slowly. “I wish he was here.” “You know he would have loved to be here. It would help if you stayed strong for you two. I believe better days are closer than expected.” Tania comforted. Nina smiled, glancing at Tania’s bulging belly. “Jace looks elated these days.” She laughed l

Chapter 94 The MotorcycleREMINGTON HOSPITAL, NEW YORK.The hospital building almost felt strange to Nina, even though she had been by the place a few months back. The section she is heading to must be the reason why. However, Nina has decided, knowing she is doing what suits a great cause, that she doesn’t mind whatever she has to do. “Hello.” She greeted the receptionist. “Hi, ma’am. Welcome. Who would you like to see?” “Uncle J.R. Oh, pardon me, I mean Dr Jason. Is he in? He is expecting me.” “You must be Miss Nina Ruiz?” “Yes, please.” “Alright, please come with me.” Jason was on a call when they walked into the office. At the sight of Nina, he smiled heartily. “Let me call you back, Dr Smith. My daughter just walked in.” He mumbled and hung up. Nina blushed at his referral. “Hello, Uncle J.R.” “How are you, my darling? Feels like ages.” He laughed, embracing her. “I am good. How are you, too?” “Great. Please sit.” He motioned towards the couch. “Thank you. So, I am yo

Chapter 93 Two peas in a pudXANDER’S HOME, NEW YORK.Nina saw how nervous he was and felt bothered that she might have said something she shouldn’t. Relaxing her shoulder, she sat on the couch and faced him. Xander held up a weak smile. “Why don’t you tell me what you must say first?” He urged. She exhaled slowly and took his hand in hers. “We are not kids, Xander. Neither are we immature. Even though my first marriage was a wreck, I believe life continues. Being heartbroken does not mean one's life has to come to an end. Ever since you came into my life, I have been able to see things differently. I am learning to love and embrace life as it should. One thing I promised myself after being betrayed by Asher and Andrea was never to trust anyone. Also, I vowed off men, telling myself all I needed to do was work hard and get back on top. What mattered was getting back at the people who made my life a living hell.” Nina chuckled, still caressing his hand, “But I was wrong. I couldn’t

Chapter 92 Court OrderXANDER’S HOME, NEW YORK.“It doesn’t feel right for me to stay home,” Nina whined behind Xander as he dressed. He turned to her, stopping halfway with his shirt button. “Why not?” “Because it's been two days. I need to get to work.” “Do it from home. Also, Tania would be coming today. Aren’t you excited to see her?” “I am, but…” She pouted, exiting the bed and wrapping her arm around him seductively. “Come on now, what happened last time will never happen again. I will defend myself no matter what.” “That right there is the problem. I don’t want you defending yourself no matter what. I have it covered. Please stay put here until Asher signs the court order, Nina.” Nina huffed in resolve, knowing there was no way out anymore. “Fine, I will just stay back.” She yawned loudly and sat at the edge of the bed, staring at his broad back. For the past few days, she has laid in Xander’s bed. He works until late at night, and she finds his arm wrapped around her wh

Chapter 91 Terrible FatherNINA’S HOME, NEW YORK. Gripping the phone tightly, Nina let out a long hiss. Xander does have a wrong side to him. Despite his promise to meet with her two days back to celebrate her unexpected promotion, he didn’t show up and gave an excuse for being busy. She thought he would reach out afterward, but he still hasn’t called. Her hand trailed Winter’s sleepy face absentmindedly. She brought her to the office to take her around the place like the little one would understand what was happening. Regarding Xander, her inability to get angry at him is the most annoying thing for her. Instead, she is worried that something might be wrong; at the same time, her ego prevents her from calling him. Her eyes roamed her new office space, and it felt surreal. They made the immediate move of X&J Foods into the M&M building. Nina occupied the same office Asher had sat in as the CEO but with a significant redesign. She was more than happy to see Asher and Andrea beneath
Divorce To Restart: Vengeful Ex-Wife Strikes Back! The Swindler
Chapter 90 The SwindlerTAYLOR’S HOME, NEW YORK.Asher struggled to sit up from the couch drowsily. He had gotten drunk and slept lazily without a bother in the world. In his distorted state, Asher noticed Andrea rushing out to her car. He let out a hiss, wondering what spa she had an appointment with again. He still can’t get over the fact that Nina holds the rein of a company he had dreamt of for years. She walked in without doing anything to reap where she didn’t sow. He let out a wince at the ache that struck his head. Suddenly, the door opened, letting in an angry-looking Leila. “Have you seen what your stupidness has caused?” She hollered. He held his aching head down. “What is it this time?” Leila screamed into her palm. “I told you to control yourself and not do anything stupid. But I don't remember you listening. Now everyone knows we have been humiliated by Nina. Everything that happened was written in the tabloids, every bloody thing.” Asher let out a slight cough. “Ca

Chapter 89 Why won’t you make love to meX&J EMPIRE, NEW YORK.“I can’t believe this. So, M&M Foods is all yours now?” Jace asked for the umpteenth time.Xander laughed amidst the celebration going on in the lobby. “Yes, Jace. X&J foods will only get bigger and better from here on.”“Nina must be so happy.”“I am sure she is.” He mused while staring at her sweetly among the crowd. “That reminds me, Dawn should be here to celebrate with us. Where is she?”Jace shifted on his legs; Xander hadn’t checked his mail. “She must have informed someone of her absence.”“That is strange,” Xander said, checking his phone for any message she must have dropped.“Why not check your mail?”“Mail? Dawn hardly uses her mail unless it is for work. But then, let me check.” His brows furrowed when he indeed found a message from Dawn. It happened to be a resignation letter. “Take a look, Jace. She resigned. How am I just getting to know about this now? We still spoke a while back, and she didn’t mention an

Chapter 88 The Naive OneM&M FOODS, NEW YORK.Nina stared anxiously at the building and suddenly felt an intense pressure in her bowel. She thought about what might be going through Xander’s head for the rest of the weekend. He had constantly evaded any means of them getting intimate beyond foreplay, and Nina was beginning to think he might not have as much interest in her as she did. Either that, or she is pushing too fast.Thinking about that alone had her on the edge, now returning to the same place where she had experienced so much humiliation it made her feel suffocated.Inhaling sharply, she gripped Xander by the arm. He turned to see her pale face.“Hey baby, are you okay?” He asked in a worried tone.Nina managed to put up a smile. “Yes, I am. I need to get to the restroom. I will join you soon.”“I will wait for you then.”“No, don’t do that. I know my way around here, remember?”Xander looked skeptical, but he chose to respect her privacy. “Alright, just call me if you need
