** "Why did your feelings suddenly change?" Xander asked me looking completely lost. There was no way I could say it was because if I stayed with him, I might die. His cold eyes were piercing through me but it didn't make me fret. I averted my eyes knowing my next reply was a big lie. "I love someone else now, and I can't stand you anymore. Since we would be together for two months, our parents' promise will be honoured." Then he froze unable to believe my words. **** Karis was in an arranged marriage to Xander, a cold-hearted billionaire who stood on the Pinnacle of the business for years. Karis's entire life revolved around Xander. She loved him for years and did her best to save their marriage, abandoning everything she loved or cared for just to please him, but Xander never reciprocated her feelings. She thought if they could finally have a child, he would love her back, but that was just her delusion. Xander never loved her and betrayed her by cheating on Karis with her step-sister Emma, leaving Karis devasted and leading to her death. Luckily, fate smiled at Karis, and she was given a second chance to redo it. This time, she wants nothing to do with her heartless husband and just wants to focus on living the best life, but why does Xander keep on pestering her life? Will Karis give Xander a second chance or end up with his rival Skyler who picked interest in her? Why does Xander keep on pestering her in this life despite ruthlessly betraying her before? Are there secrets to be unravelled? Why don't you find out in this intriguing story of love and betrayal and watch things unravel?

Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 186 - Xander can only be mine
(Emma's pov) The engagement was called off and I doubt Xander would continue with the plans because she chose to appear today. Everything is always about Karis. What's so good about her? She is just a country bumpkin. So what if she is a talented designer? I am also smart. After all, Dad would be giving the company to me. Xander left and he didn't care if I was watching him the entire time. What am I even thinking he never cared about me from the start. A dry laugh left my lips as I stood and watched them leave. It seemed like they were the main characters and I was the extra side character. I heard the fast-clicking sounds of heels coming my way, followed by Mum's voice. "How didn't you know she was still alive?" Mum asked me as soon as she was close enough she held my hands. It wasn't everything I could tell mum there were some secrets I kept too. She was trembling, and it seemed like she was affected by the news of Karis showing up more than I was. "Am

Third pov/Author's Pov His embrace was warm, exactly how she remembered it, with his cologne entering her nostrils. Karis remembered days she wished he held her like this but he never did. "Xander, please let go of me; your hold is too tight." She calmly said. Xander was lost in reverie, reliving his biggest fantasy of holding his dead wife in his arms, and couldn't control his strength. "I am sorry. I want to hold you a bit longer." He apologized, reluctant to let go. He was scared if he did, this would be the last time he might hold her like this. "Let go, Xander; your touch makes my skin crawl. My fiance would misunderstand if he saw us like this. " Karis lied and Xander froze. She needed him to let go before her pent-up emotions poured out. He was the biggest obstacle she had to overcome. Xander gritted his teeth after hearing Karis's words. Skyler was no longer her lover but her fiance. This had changed. She was not his little red anymore. "It hurts whe

(Xander's pov) The last thing I wanted was to get married to Emma or anyone else. Marriage was sacred, and I just could not see myself getting married ever again, but I just had to for Vance. After a lot of deliberations, I came up with a simple solution. To have a contract marriage, Emma could be my partner in the public eye and have the benefits that come with it, but the one promise I made to her was that we could never be anything except a show. She was to stay in another property and far away from me; that way, Vance would be protected, and Emma didn't have to always be in my face. "That's enough alcohol, Xander. If you drink further you might get drunk." I heard Mum's sharp voice from the door. Her nagging was getting under my skin lately. She was acting like I was a teenager, which caused her constant issues because I changed a bit. The Zed she was scared of was far more terrifying than the Xander now. I was just a tired guy. "This is my first glass, and I h

(Karis's pov) "Karis dear, what are you talking about? Are you saying that you have been with Skyler all this while?" I heard a pretentious voice gasp from behind me. I didn't need to turn around to know it was Miranda. She was trying to paint me as the woman who left her husband for a lover, but then again, they forgot Xander and I were already divorced. "Yes, mother. I am sorry I had to crash such an important event to announce our engagement. Since Emma is getting engaged today I decided why not bring it up today. The more the merrier." I chimed with a sweet smile at Miranda as I held onto Skyler closely. Xander was still stunned by everything and took his precious time to process what I was saying. "But what about you and Xander? We thought you were dead." Father asked this time around; his eyes were wary, and he had a couple of emotions that I could not understand at the moment. Maybe he was shocked his dead daughter was not dead or the fact I had destroyed hi

(Karis's pov) Our eyes met, and it seemed like everything froze at that moment. Xander's mouth parted and then closed. He was completely lost for words. Emma was in the worst situation when she saw me, like a ghost from the scariest horror movie you know, suddenly appear in front of you. Xander withdrew his hand from Emma and he just blankly stared at me. This must be super embarrassing for Emma; at this moment, everyone was just staring at us. Kyle clenched his jaw. "I guess you are happy now." Kyle vaguely mentioned that I always knew he never liked me, and honestly, I don't care anymore. I just don't understand what Bertha saw in this jerk. "Are you Karis? How are you still alive?" Camilla, let go of her husband's arm and walked towards me. "It is a miracle; I am Karis in the flesh; your eyes don't fool," I admitted and her hand rushed to cover her mouth to muffle out her cries. Up till now, Xander was still speechless to say anything. He hadn't moved an inch from wher

(Karis's pov) If you want to crash an engagement party never show up early. The party was scheduled to start by 8 pm and it was already 8:30 pm when I felt home. "I investigated your father as requested, and the rumours are true he plans on handing over the company to Emma. This year, the company has started syphoning funds to avoid paying the inheritance taxes." Skyler informed me drawing my attention from the window. "That's not unexpected," I muttered with my glance still on the night street as we drove to our location. At least some events were still the same as my past life. Dad was about to give his favourite daughter the company he built with my mother's family name. Dad's family was going bankrupt around the time he married Mum, and with her help, they escaped bankruptcy. I have a feeling he never loved her but just needed her mother. Mum was a fool in love, just like me, but I was not going to make the same mistake as her. Fuck love who needs that when you can get po

(Karis's pov) The winter ball was a success, and I was expecting a lawsuit from Xander or something, but it never came. So far things have been going well. I just had to stay longer until the entire Reynolds group was in my control. Something even came to my attention from Valeria's nanny. She said my angel made a new friend. I was glad she was enjoying her stay here. I twirled around in front of the mirror to make sure I was looking dashing enough to steal their breaths. I was not wearing my signature green dress for today's event because today was special, and I planned to steal the crowd. Standing in front of the full-length mirror, my eyes gazed upon my reflection in a floor-length red dinner gown. It was a sleeveless off-shoulder gown with a deep vee line in the back, a long slit on the left that ran from my thighs. I wore black lacy pantyhose because the goal for tonight was to crash a party and steal the limelight like a true villainess. Because now Kar

(Xander's pov) Three days later went by, and Vance was cleared to be discharged from the hospital. Since the first day at the park, Vance and Valeria played every day there. They played together and Valeria loved showing off her violin skills. . There was a restaurant close to the park, so we had our lunch there every day, and honestly, Valeria was a lovable but tricky girl. It was nice to see Vance make a new friend, and I didn't mind accompanying him during my lunch break. Her presence helped Vance improve his shyness, and he started acting more lively, way better than how he was the first time he moved in with me. "Daddy, I asked Valeria to register with me in a duet competition required for pianist and violinist." He excitedly informed me while Kyle was giving him a last check-up before he could be discharged. "That sounds nice, but her parents would have to give their permission before she can attend," I replied to Vance. For the entire 5 days,

(Xander's pov) The shock was what was evident in my eyes. It was such a large coincidence but not completely strange. I do her stories of doppelgangers, and if Angel was a boy, she would have an uncanny resemblance to Vance. She ran towards Vance's side, leaving the crowd where she was playing. I quickly understood the reason they were friends; they had a strong passion for classical music. "Xavier," she chimed again, getting to his side. "Stop calling me Xavier. Only Nonna calls me that, my name is Vance." He corrected her with a straight face. The little girl pursed her lips together and she tried to pronounce his name."Vance." She mumbled. "Your name is weird." She said which Vance didn't like. "Yours is weirder Angel." It seemed like they wanted to fight, and just moments ago, they were excited about seeing each other. "My name is not Angel. My mum and daddy Sky just love calling me their angel. My name is Valeria, and it rhymes with Vance." She replied

Betrayal
(Karis's POV) It felt like my world froze, and everything became bright immediately after I saw a single word, ' positive' on the pregnancy test results with tears welling up in my eyes. "This is not a dream." My voice broke as I spoke. "Congrats, ma'am, you are three weeks pregnant." The doctor congratulated me. I was unable to hold it anymore and immediately burst into tears. They were tears of joy; after five long years of being called barren, I was finally able to conceive. I was so excited by the news my ears turned deaf to anything other thing the doctor said. I just waited for him to dismiss me before rushing out of the hospital. Suddenly everything thing seemed brighter. I was so happy that my emotions were all over the place, laughing and crying at the same time. On my way home, I kept thinking about how to share the good news with my husband, with multiple ideas popping up in my head. Tomorrow is Xander birthday, so I decided to get an early birthday present for him a...
