EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 96 - UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS!
BIANCA’S POV“Excuse me, miss? You walked into me,” Ethan said, his voice deceptively gentle. I could see the annoyance in the way he pressed his lips together and tapped his fingers rapidly against his now-folded arms.“And you couldn’t avoid it?” I raised an eyebrow. My actions seemed counterproductive, but this was the best chance I had for implementing Darren’s plans. I could see Ethan formulating a response in his mind; perhaps his hatred for me had grown again.“We—”“Don’t get mad at me,” I interrupted, sighing softly. I made sure to round my shoulders and rub my eyebrows, looking like someone the whole world was against. “I’ve just been so stressed lately; it wasn’t your fault.” I huffed out a laugh and rubbed my neck.Ethan’s face went blank. I hated when he did that; I could never tell what he was thinking that way. I was someone who relied strongly on facial cues to read the mood, so Ethan’s blank face made me want to punch it.“I accept your apology,” he nodded tightly and

BIANCA’S POV Darren was cursing under his breath, stumbling to keep up with me as the elevator ascended. “I can’t believe you’re making me chase a traitor in this,” he muttered, tugging at the itchy collar of the blazer. I didn’t respond; I had no kind words toward the outfit, so I couldn’t even assure him that he looked wonderful. His perfect body proportions were the only thing that prevented him from looking too horrendous. The elevator opened, and Darren and I immediately walked over to the door of my office. Right as I was about to barge in and open the door, Darren held my hand with one of his and shushed me with the other. “Let’s listen first,” he mouthed, placing his ear on the door. I followed suit, but I didn’t hear anything. What exactly had I expected? My office had always been soundproof. Darren seemed to remember that and whipped out his phone and AirPods, scrolling until he clicked on a grey app. He scrolled through it, clicking things in rapid succession. Just whe

BIANCA'S POVEthan didn’t report the altered designs to me before the day ended, or perhaps he did and I wasn’t available to receive them. I was too busy using an entire bottle of hand sanitizer and rushing home to take a scalding hot shower to get rid of the feeling.I didn’t even want to think about it at all. It was dinner night with Alessandro, Giovanni, Darren, Luca, and Lazarro. Lazarro and I had been introduced not too long ago, and being around him made me feel like Luca had aged up five years in a second. I involuntarily fell into the motherly big sister vibe.It had all the potential to be an enjoyable evening. The restaurant we’d chosen was small and intimate, with warm lighting that made everything seem just a little more pleasant.Alessandro sat across from me, squinting at me with a look in his eyes—because my errant leg was trailing up his feet under the table. Giovanni was entertaining Luca with terrible dad jokes, and Lazarro and Luca—who had caught on like a house on

BIANCA’S POVI couldn’t believe it was the day of my release already. I had arranged for my usual models, and they were milling around backstage in varying degrees of nudity, looking for the clothes assigned to them. Darren, for the first time, had decided to step out into the public eye to model an outfit, leaving behind the confines of the sample room.He typically always modeled it in the sample room or the company’s walkway. I had first expressed concern for him, as he wasn’t used to the lighting, sound, and the multiple influential people who had come to critique the designs. He sent me off with a deadpan look.“Have you ever seen me nervous, piccolo?” he asked. The answer was yes. As his best friend, I had seen him nervous multiple times, but really, I had never seen him nervous in a good-looking outfit. With the assurance that he wasn’t going to break down in anxiety right before the show, I left him with the hair and makeup artists.Toria’s placeholder company would also be ho

TORIA’S POVToday was the day I had been waiting for. The day Bianca would finally fall from her high horse and be exposed for the fraud she was. The truth wouldn’t matter once she was sued and canceled for copying the ‘cutting-edge designs’ of a lesser-known company. She had dared to intimidate me with those men, so she couldn’t blame me if I ruined her because of it.That man who had shot a bullet into a pillow back at Viale flashed across my mind every time I slept. Who was Bianca’s backer? I kept wondering who the mysterious man was, and I had sent Ethan to investigate, but the fool hadn’t found anything.Although, with my master plan in place, it didn’t really matter who her backer was. Even he couldn’t save her from what I had in store for her.At first, when I saw the designs, I thought Ethan wanted to double-cross me. They were horrid. Bianca didn’t even have any actual talent if that was the best she could do to make a comeback.They were futuristic, avant-garde abominations,
Last Updated : 2024-10-25EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 101 - THE PERFECT PICTURE OF CONFUSION AND BETRAYAL
BIANCA'S POVThe buzz in the venue was electrifying, and I could hear the chatter from the audience as the last few people trickled in. Everything was set. The lights were perfectly placed to highlight every detail of the designs, and the runway gleamed like a blank canvas, ready for my art to walk across it.Toria’s show had ended as horribly as I predicted it would, and the people around were like sharks, just waiting for the wrong move from me so they could bury me. I refused to let that happen.The music began with a slow, steady beat that reverberated through the room like a heartbeat. It hooked me instantly and set the perfect tone for what was about to unfold.I stood off to the side of the stage, holding my clipboard tightly, though it was more for show now than for need. My models were ready, my designs were perfect, and everything had been double- and triple-checked. This was my moment, but I couldn’t help the small flutter of nerves that racked through my body in small spur

BIANCA’S POVThe sunlight streamed through the blinds in muted bars of gold. It was almost four in the afternoon, and the weather was warm—absolutely perfect for a cool outing. I checked my watch again and adjusted my handbag at my feet before scrolling through my feed once more.I was in the Moretti Villa, waiting for Alessandro to come back home from work so we could go out. I had discovered a lovely 80s retro-style club downtown in Florence, and I had an inkling Alessandro would enjoy the little trip we’d take on the way there.I let out a small huff of laughter as I saw an insulting tweet. Ethan was getting bashed online and offline, and according to what I had heard, his wife had filed for divorce. I didn’t know if it was because she finally found out about Toria or because she just didn’t want to be associated with a neglectful thief and fraudster.Somehow, some people had also roped Matteo in, despite Ethan not confessing Toria’s involvement. They had pieced together the time p

BIANCA’S POVI had only met him for a couple of minutes, but I felt a bone-deep sense of satisfaction at Ricardo's calmness shaking. It was clear that Giovanni's presence had rattled him, and it was immensely gratifying to watch the cracks form in his smooth exterior.“You didn’t raise me,” Giovanni shot back, his voice casual but his eyes sharp. “That was all on Sandro. You always disappeared just to show up and throw tantrums every now and then.”Ricardo’s eyebrows furrowed even further, almost looking like he had one continuous unibrow, and for a second, I thought he might actually lose it. But instead, he drew in a slow breath and regained his composure like the ice statue he was. His eyes flickered over me, then back to Giovanni. "This is none of your business, Gio."“Everything that happens in this house is my business as a Moretti," Giovanni retorted, descending the stairs leisurely, but there was nothing casual about the way his gaze locked on Larisa. “I vividly remember telli

EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 150 – THE DOBRES WERE AS GOOD AS GONE!
ALESSANDRO’S POV“Looks like the future’s here,” Bianca murmured in reference to what the patriarch had said before, her voice dripping with mock sympathy. Her gaze was fixed on the Dobre patriarch, whose previously smug composure now seemed on the verge of crumbling.I tilted my head slightly and slipped a hand around her to bring her closer, unable to resist. “What a shame it’s not the one they envisioned.”Darren sauntered over with a large smile on his face, and I could relate to him. He had been wanting to release the information about Matteo for such a long time, and I was certain it felt like a balm on his wearied soul to finally enact revenge against the scum.“Showtime,” he said, just loud enough for us to hear. The crowd was awash with murmurs and people whispering loudly, clearly intending to target the Dobres and make sure they heard their speculations. Lumari was confused, Samuel was furious, and Toria was trying to play the good wife. The negative energy in the room had
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 149 – TO THE END OF AN ERA!
ALESSANDRO’S POVI leaned against the marble pillar, my fingers drumming idly on the rim of my untouched champagne glass. The evening was a disaster. Not the catastrophic, bloody kind of disaster I was used to handling, but the sort of slow-burn chaos that made me wish I’d missed the whole spectacle in the first place.And of course, it all started with Giovanni.My younger brother’s camera crew was bustling around the room, shoving microphones and lenses into the faces of people who, mere minutes ago, had been dignified power players. Now, they were giddy fans jostling for selfies and sound bites, trying to get their good sides.Larisa was hanging on to my arm for dear life like I was going to fade away into dust if she didn’t, and irritation clawed up my throat. If Bianca had been beside me instead of this bitch, I would have been able to enjoy the look on the Dobre patriarch’s face as his revered gala became a celebrity meet-and-greet. I only had to wait a little; she was in the ro
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 148 - GIOVANNI'S ARRIVAL
LIMARI’S POVThe conversation had become a tangled mess of pleasantries, small talk, and carefully crafted smiles. It was all just so… predictable. I could feel the eyes on me, but not in the way I wanted. Tonight was supposed to be mine—mine to shine, mine to be the center of attention. I had worked hard for this, after all. I was the newest Dobre, the woman Samuel had chosen, the one who would help bring the family into the new age. I wasn’t just attending this gala; I was the gala.And yet, despite everything, my heart still thudded uneasily in my chest. The sensation wasn’t from Samuel, who stood tall beside me, a constant presence as calm as ever. No, the feeling came from Ricardo, Ricardo of all people, who, of course, had shown up looking effortlessly handsome, as though he hadn’t even tried. And, worse yet, he was with… her.Linda Collins.She stood beside him, the actress and writer who had quietly slipped into the crowd as though she owned it. People had already begun to rec
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 147 – TONIGHT, THE GAME WAS FAR FROM OVER!
LUMARI’S POVI leaned in slightly toward Samuel, keeping my voice casual. “I’m going to have a word with my sister-in-law,” I murmured, referring to Larisa.I didn’t wait for his response, knowing he’d be fine with whatever I chose to do. I turned toward the four people—Ricardo, his new companion, Larisa, and Alessandro—and made my way over, every step calculated to project confidence.As I approached, Larisa’s eyes immediately locked onto me, a flicker of something unreadable passing through her gaze. She was always so composed, so perfect, the princess of the Dobre family. She had the bloodline, the power. There was no sarcasm here, no sharp words from me. No, tonight, I needed to tread carefully.“Lumari,” she greeted, her smile bright and almost affectionate. “How wonderful to see you. I’m so glad you could join us tonight.”I returned her smile, though it felt a little strained. “Of course, Larisa. How could I miss it? It’s such an important night for the family.”We exchanged pl
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 146 – TONIGHT, I WAS HIS, AND I WOULD LET EVERYONE KNOW IT!
LUMARI’S POVThe grand ballroom of the Dobre quarterly gala shimmered with the quiet elegance that only the highest branches of society could orchestrate. Chandeliers hung like jewels in the night, their soft light spilling over the polished floors, the delicate lace of crystal illuminating every corner of the room.The air was thick with the scent of expensive perfumes, finely aged wine, and the muted hum of polite conversation between rich people.I stood at the entrance, making sure my presence was nothing short of commanding. I wasn’t just attending this time; I was the event, the brand new wife of the Dobres that would be showcased.The crowd seemed to part as I moved through it, their eyes drawn to me like moths to a flame. My emerald silk dress clung to my curves, cascading to the floor in an elegant pool behind me. The color was chosen not only for its beauty but for the power it projected. Samuel had made sure to choose it for me himself.A life with Ricardo could have never
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 145 - BY THE TIME THE GALA ENDS, THE DOBRES WILL BE FINISHED!
THIRD PERSON’S POVThe tension in the room was palpable as Ricardo took his place at the helm of the dining table, his calm yet commanding presence silencing even Giovanni’s sarcastic mutterings. Linda leaned back in her chair, watching with barely contained amusement as the group settled into something resembling order.They were at his villa, only because most of the sensitive plans were in his study and would be dangerous to transport from place to place so casually.Bianca had immediately felt at home, claiming the color scheme made her calm. Ricardo suspected that all was not normal with Bianca. She was looking a bit more round than she did last week, and she was as sporadic as she was moody, but what did he know? He only had sharp eyes; he couldn’t really interpret what it meant.His voice, low and steady, cut through the room. “I have already started dismantling the Dobres’ foundation. Their partners are suffocating under the pressure I’ve applied—financial audits, legal threat
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 144 - YOU THINK I DO THIS OFTEN?
THIRD PERSON POVRicardo’s breath was ragged as he carried her from the wall to the bed. Her legs wrapped tighter around his waist, her hands threading into his hair as their lips clashed again—fiery and insistent.“Was this…” she managed to gasp, her voice a mix of amusement and desire. “The grand tour you had in mind?”Ricardo growled low in his throat, the sound vibrating against her lips as he lowered her onto the bed with a control that belied the hunger in his eyes. He loomed over her, his weight pinning her, his lips moving to her neck.“Keep talking, Linda,” he rasped, his voice dark, rough, and tantalizingly close to a threat. “Let’s see how long you keep that sharp tongue of yours.”Her soft laugh turned into a breathless sigh as his hands roamed her body, his touch firm and possessive. He pulled her closer, his fingers tracing the curve of her waist—like he needed to feel every inch of her.“I’m not scared of you, Moretti,” she whispered, her hands tugging at his shirt, exp
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 143 - HOW FORWARD OF YOU, MR. MORETTI
THIRD PERSON POVBianca leaned against the kitchen counter, her fingers nervously tracing the rim of her coffee cup. The late evening light cast a warm glow across the room, but her mind was elsewhere, on the entirely self-inflicted predicament she’d thrown Linda into.“Do you think I made a mistake?” she asked, glancing over at Alessandro, who was sitting at the kitchen table, meticulously slicing a pear for Luca, who was arguing with Lazarro about how ‘rocking’ green bikes were compared to blue. A perfectly lovely day, save for the fact that she had pushed her best friend into going on a fake date, twice.He raised an eyebrow, not looking up from his task. “Depends. What mistake are we talking about today?”Bianca huffed. “You know. Pushing Linda into those dates with Ricardo. She barely agreed to it, and he’s…” She gestured vaguely as if the act of describing Ricardo required divine assistance. “He’s Ricardo. What if I shoved her into a lion’s den? What if he devours her?”Alessand
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 142 - BECAUSE I’D BE HERE EVEN IF YOU HADN’T ASKED
THIRD PERSON’S POVRicardo was annoyed, but he was used to dealing with situations like these. This was Claire Davenport, the woman who had reportedly sent the members of Livodi after Linda. He had asked Edward, one of his informants, to make sure that she wouldn’t be able to harm Linda or anyone associated with her anymore. How had he not realized that it meant Claire should disappear?“At least I’m not dating a gigolo!” Claire exclaimed, angry and embarrassed. She had purposely gone to seduce Kalam, the mob boss of Livodi, just so she could have the upper hand over Linda for once and end their rivalry with finality. He was ugly and rough, but she would do anything to own the kind of power Livodi had. Kalam had assured her that he would take care of Linda for her, so why was she still alive and going on a date with someone so handsome?“Gigolo? Your informants need to get another job. They’re terrible at the one they currently have,” Linda sneered, turning to face Claire fully. Befor
