Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 115 - Crystal Clear Memories
(Karis's pov) The window curtains rattled when the cool morning breeze blew into the room making goosebumps that crawled all over my body. ' Why is it so cold this morning? ' I thought as I snuggled closer to a source of warmth under the covers. It was so warm and comfortable, like hugging a teddy, only that this teddy didn't have fur and was enormous. It also felt like naked skin. It felt like I was also naked with my skin pressed against someone's skin. My eyes immediately popped open. It was then it dawned on me that I was snuggling close to Xander and we were both in our birthday suits. Bloody hell what happened last night. My legs were so sore it would be hard to move them. Every muscle in my body ached like it was crushed, which was not far from the truth. I was most likely crushed under Xander, I didn't need a detective to figure out what happened last night. "Darn it, Karis. You fucked up." I muttered to myself. I probably gave in to Xander, and we had s

(Karis's pov) Xander was in his study all day, and I preferred it that way; I was embarrassed and didn't want to face him after last night. Fucking hell, I swore before that I rather died than let him fuck me but that was far from what happened. Although things were not in my control and the drug could be blamed for it, I was the one who shamelessly threw myself at him and insisted we did it instead of going to the hospital. "Bloody hell," I groaned for the hundredth time this evening; I was trying to work on my current designers after sending them to Sapphire, and although she commended my work, there was a particular design that didn't make the cut, so I was working on it. I had a deadline to meet production, but unfortunately, Xander has been in my head all day. ' I wonder if he is thinking of me; get a grip on yourself; Xander probably cares less. Why did this have to happen to me?' My thoughts whined. God, I felt like crying. The annoying part was that I r

(Karis's pov) My tongue clicked after seeing Xander's message. It just reminded me of everything I wanted to forget all over again. I ignored the message. Luckily, I read it from the notification, so there was no read receipt. He should have fun finding me. The wind blew howling across me; it was getting colder here the deeper it got to the night, but I was not ready to head back inside. Then it struck me, Skyler, from what I heard, he was also drugged. How was he able to handle the situation? From my assumption, I doubt Emma was arrested or prosecuted for what happened; she is the perfect princess. I went into Skyler's DM, and from his active status, he was last online 30 minutes ago. Karis: Hey I sent a simple hey that double-ticked, indicating his Internet connection was on. To my surprise, Skyler came online immediately after the message was sent. Skyler: Hi, what do I owe this lovely occasion to that warrants Mrs De Marco to contact me first? I
Last Updated : 2024-12-03Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 118 - She is mine alone
(Xander's pov) We sat together under the night sky. The entire day, I could not get Karis out of my mind, although I made the excuse that it was because we finally had sex together, which was mind-blowing, and I wished we could do that every day. I knew deep down that was not the reason. Even before the event, I was plagued by the same thing. Every little action Karis took plagued me especially whenever she was with Skyler. I knew Skyler had hidden agendas, but that was not what made me freak out that he was close to her but the thought Skyler had everything, making him capable of taking my little red from me. I hated the thought that she was mine for the longest time and we had been engaged almost our entire life. At first, I hated the fact I was engaged to her, restricting me during my rebellious age, but slowly, I accepted the fact we would end up together one way or the other. Although what I felt for her was not love per se, I always felt this responsi

(Karis's pov) His lips were like poison. I knew it could kill me yet I enjoyed it. I melted under him as he forced me to submit which was against my will. Why was I still making the same mistake again? I was stupid. It was fucking unfair why was he such a good kisser. ' Karis you can't do this.' My thoughts screamed and at the last minute I tried to push him away or just any way to get him away before I completely fell but it was useless Xander saw through me and stopped me in time. The more I resisted the more intense the kiss was. He said dying in my hands was lovely then I should not fail his expectations. If he was not ready to let me go then I might just have to kill him one way or the other I would leave. He didn't deserve me, I deserved better. No matter how I resisted my resolve was slowly melting away and I completely melted under him not realizing when my lips were kissing him back with the same intensity. I slowly leaned downwards and Xander was

(Karis's pov) The car arrived at one of the busiest amusement parks in town, my eyes glanced outside the window to see how excited people were about the fair. It left a bitter taste in my mouth, lucky souls. The driver packed the car, and the other guard that was seated in the passenger's seat in front got down and walked to my side of the car to open the door. "Ma'am." He mentioned. I took in a deep breath avoiding his eyes as I clutched my bag getting out of the car. The driver also got off and then locked the car. They were hefty-looking men with rough edges and muscles that made me wonder if they were retired soldiers. They were none other than the bodyguards Xander had arranged for me. He claimed it was for my protection but I knew their actual purpose was to make sure I stayed away from Skyler. This was going to be a long afternoon, I could not even enjoy a day at the fair in peace. We made our way to the entrance, luckily we had already made res

(Karis's pov) Nothing was more refreshing than getting on Xander's nerves in this toxic relationship. It was hard to understand his intentions. He acted like he didn't want me to go but, at the same time, would never admit if he loved me or not. What I craved for the most was affection. Skyler's car pulled over at our location. It was a famous lake-side restaurant you had to make reservations at least a month earlier. It made me wonder how long Skyler planned this. "How were you able to get reservations here? I remember when I was little, my mom loved eating here a lot with me, and the reservations were always made a month prior." I mentioned as we got down from the car. The restaurant was very busy. Since it was in a remote location close to the outskirts of town, the air here was more refreshing. That was what made it more popular. Skyler reached out his hands for me, which I hesitantly accepted, telling myself it was okay to casually hold hands with him and that we were f

(Karis's pov) The meal was quiet at first; after we were served appetizers the waiter came over with a trolley to serve the main meal, which was barbeque, using a trolley. It was satisfying to watch him prepare and roast the meat in front of him. I was still embarrassed from crying earlier in front of Skyler because I was too carried away at the moment. "After the blue secret gig is done what do you plan on doing concerning your design career?" He asked about business which was a good way to start up a conversation. My phone was switched off due to Xander's incessant calls, and despite the fact I was having a great time with Skyler, my mind kept on drifting to think about Xander. It was as if my mind was split into two; I tried my best to focus on Skyler because he was putting in a lot of effort to make the evening fun. "Honestly, I don't know; it depends on the success of the line," I answered. The waiter was done with my portion and just served it on my plate

Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 265 - The final negotiations
(Xander's pov) The new year was meant to be something special which people look forward to, but for the past 4 years, I always dreaded this day. It reminded me that another year had gone by, and I was alone. That was how it felt to me. "You can do this," I said those words hoping it would help me get my nerves together. I closed the door and then proceeded to the luxurious Crest Lake restaurant in front of me. The place was filled with customers since it was the new year. Skyler chose a safe location; he knew that I would likely not do something Crazy with this many people around. I was put in a difficult situation. From the entrance, I was immediately recognized by the manager, who seemed to have recognized me. "Happy New Year, Mr De Marco. Mr Crest has been expecting you." He chimed. "Happy New Year," I said out of simple curtsey, my eyes darting around the restaurant. I was the least interested in the fancy interior that screamed money. The beauty didn't ma
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 264 - Desperate Measures
(Xander's pov) At this point, I think Skyler's true power is to make people disappear. It made me wonder when he got this tricky. In the end, he won; imagine how frustrating it was to know he was the one behind everything, but there was no evidence linking it to him. He had planned everything, making Emma the front to take the blame, not to forget the fact Emma was still missing, but I was certain that he had a hand in that too. This game had gone on for too long and I was genuinely tired. It was a few minutes to midnight; my eyes were focused on the road as I drove back to Ivan's place. The car slowed down at the red light. My eyes glanced away from the road for a while to the passenger seat where an envelope sat. It was the transfer document; desperate times require desperate measures. I scoffed, glancing back at the road; after finally inheriting the business and building it to an all-time high, the genius business tycoon was giving it out to save his family.
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 263 - A second chance
(Karis's pov) The table was silent as we ate. After finding out Val had refused to eat anything for over a day now, I had to force her to eat. So we had our meal together as what appeared like a family of four. The room had a very heavy tension and I wondered if the children knew that Skyler was a bad guy. This was totally unlike Val who was always chatty and cheerful with Skyler. "I am full," Val said. I glanced at her plate to see it was now clean. "That great dear." I chimed at her, and she nodded. "Can I leave now?" Her voice was very soft. "Sure, if you are full." Skyler was the one who responded this time around. Val nodded and then left the table. I watched her little feet run away. "Can I also leave?" Another small voice asked. My attention drew from Val to Vance who was super nervous. He was also done eating. "You can go ahead," I informed him and he didn't waste a second more to flee the room. It was left just me and Skyler. "They will und
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 262 - A sacrifice that needs to be made
(Karis's pov) I think I lost consciousness as soon as I sent the text to Bertha to leave, I had to send the text to Bertha for Skyler to believe. I had no idea where we were heading. My head was a bit dizzy and was laid on Skyler's thighs while gazing outside. "You are awake," he muttered, drawing his gaze from outside to me. I tried to sit up, holding my head that was aching. I glanced outside and the only thing I could see was an endless stretch of trees. We must be somewhere around the outskirts. "Where are we going?" I asked Skyler, sensing his gaze on me. I was trying my best to act natural so that he would not sense anything odd. The more I looked at him, the more my heart ached, realizing what he did. He was a freaking lunatic. "Somewhere safe to avoid Xander's eyes before we leave the country during the new year." My heart skipped a beat, my eyes drawing back outside. It was still day, hours away from midnight. I know we were miles away from civilizatio
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 261 - why do you always leave?
(Xander's pov) I thought today was going to be my lucky day; by chance, we were able to comprehend Miranda. She didn't even give us any issues and relayed the information she had about the twin's location. It was an old manor on the outskirts of the city deep inside the forest. If I had not caught Miranda there was no way we would have found out. The car sped as fast as it could. I crossed my fingers, hoping they would be there and this would be the end of this madness. "We are getting close." The driver informed me. Ivan's men had already gone ahead to lay a siege on the property. After what felt like forever, I finally arrived from a distance. I could hear the baring sounds of gunshots. This time, we were prepared to go against the mercenaries as I had my hands on some military combatants, a favour from an old friend. I stepped out of the car, and one of the soldiers approached to give me cover along with other armed personnel, who were all covered with bulle
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 260 - A wrong Move
(Miranda's pov) Emma was a fool, I could not even believe she was my daughter. How can she trust a guy who basically used her like a pawn for this long? She wanted to stay for revenge, but honestly, I don't care about revenge. I just wanted the money and I had enough for now with the amount I stolen from Christian. I did not tell Emma I was never coming back. "I will be gone for a while this mansion is suffocating," I told her. "Be careful if you get caught, Skyler won't help you," Emma said. She was lying on the bed crying about Xander, a man who was never hers. My poor baby, it was too sad I had to leave her in this trap. "I will, just cover up for me while I am gone," I said before closing the door. I was never coming back that was for sure. My eyes shone with determination; Skyler didn't restrict Emma's and my movements, knowing fully well we would be scared to make any reckless move when Xander's hunt dogs were everywhere, and it was a matter of time befo
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 259 - what I always wanted
(Karis's pov) A single bodyguard followed me and was seated in front of the car. What was I doing? I wondered. My mind kept on telling me it was a bad idea but yet I felt I had to do this regardless. My phone notification beep drew my attention; it was Bertha. I had told her about the mysterious text, and of course, she was against the idea. In the end, we agreed to go together. "Good morning, Betty." I simply said. "Morning Karis, are you on your way?" She asked sounding a bit exhausted. "Yes, I left the estate a few minutes ago." The line went static for a while before I heard her "Karis," she called out with a soft voice before continuing. " You know it is not too late, you can turn back. I honestly think you should trust Xander. We have no idea who it is that sent you that message and this might just be a means to lure you out." I knew everything she said was true. I had also considered the possibility but I had also made up my mind. "I know, but if we a
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 258 - I am not that weak
(Karis's pov) The message was mysterious, and it left me in a dilemma. I was torn between telling Xander. I wanted to tell him, but the number warned Me about telling him, which left me in a difficult situation. I could not risk anything happening to Val. We still had no idea where my children were or my stepmother and sister. I stood silently in front of Xander's bedroom. It was pretty late and I couldn't get any sleep after the call. Xander returned back to the estate pretty late a few hours ago. I reached out to knock on the door, my knuckles hitting on it periodically. "Xander," I called out trying to catch any sound from the other side. There was no answer. "Are you in?" I knocked, asking out loud, but there was still no answer. After a bit of contemplation, I decided to open the door. Soft creaking sounds echoed as I made my way inside the dimly lit room. My eyes darted around and there was indeed no sign of Xander. It felt like I stepped into a time
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 257 - Guilt
(Karis's pov) The room seemed to have had a sombre atmosphere; for the first time, I saw a side of Xander I could never have imagined. "I never wanted things to turn out like that, but I was an obnoxious jerk, and I still think I am." His voice felt drained and he seemed completely powerless. This was the truth I always wanted to know but it put me in a state where I didn't even know how to react. "Don't blame yourself, Xander, it was an accident." That was all I could say hoping it could lessen the burden. From the way Xander spoke about it there was lingering regret he felt. Xander probably blamed himself for everything, but there was no way he could have accepted the girl, and that single rejection caused him a lot. "It's my fault; Skyler was right that night; I should have been nicer to Amelia even though I hated her for the way she treated Sky. I should have tried to reach out, but I didn't, and it cost me my sister. My actions killed Alessia, and it still ha
