Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 226 - A Bigger mystery
(Xander's pov) It was surprising that Benji was able to get information on the hospital in less than 24 hours. It was pretty assuring how reliable he was. "That's not news; the issue was how they were able to steal the baby," I asked Benji, although I had a good idea. The most possible situation was that Karis was drugged and her memories are hazy about what happened in the labour room. She gave birth to twins but couldn't remember. "The doctor that helped her deliver was found dead this morning. He was assassinated, but from his personal files, I was able to dig up information about how he swapped her medication records during the scan, and originally, they didn't know it was twins because Val was blocking Vance. So the plan then was to give Karis a dead child but it turned out to be twins." The more Benji explained the angrier I got. My fist clenched until my knuckles were white. Emma was rescued yesterday, and a few minutes later, the doctor was found dead.
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-15Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 227 - Val's Christmas wish
(Karis's pov) This wasn't how I planned Christmas to be; walking through the door, I immediately spotted Vance and Val playing around. It was a beautiful sight but not as stunning as the full windows display. The part of the roof to the walls was made of glass, and it felt like I was under the sky. It was way different from the last time I was here with Xander. "It's beautiful," I muttered impressed by the stylish decor. I didn't even want to leave here anymore. "I know, it was meant to be your birthday present before things went south. It's four years overdue now." I heard Xander's voice from behind me as he moved to stand by my side. He just kept on trying to infiltrate my boundaries but it would take more than sweet words to mend a broken heart. First I wanted to find the truth about everything. "A fancy pretty cage. Stop talking, sweet words. It feels weird coming from a devil like you." I retorted my gaze going back to Val and Vance. I wondered which other mat
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-15Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 228 - A meeting with Mr Reynolds
(Karis's pov) Last night was etched in my memories. When I tucked Val in bed she asked me if we could truly stay together. I didn't give her an answer knowing it would break her heart. When did Xander get so close to her that he held such a spot? My brows furrowed, and my eyes opened as I glanced to the side drawer where my phone was ringing from. The first thing that caught my attention was the bouquet of fresh roses kept there. It was a different bouquet from yesterday with a small note. I sluggishly sat up to pick up my phone, and the note that read. ' even under the stars, your glow isn't overshadowed. The moon was beautiful. Isn't it?' Oh my God, Xander should give me a break. The moon is beautiful. Isn't it? Was the same as I love you in a Japanese poetic way. Staying close to him is a big risk. The ringing sound of my phone finally drew back my attention. My brows furrowed to see it was Lavender. "Good morning ma'am ..." she greeted me. "Good morni

(Karis's pov) Never go for a battle unprepared, that was something everyone knew and I definitely didn't come unprepared. I had more than enough evidence to blackmail Christian. When Lavender informed me this morning about the meeting, I knew he had finally decided to sell the company, so I diligently prepared. It was comical how his beloved daughter was missing, and all he thought about at the moment was how to make a profit. His jaw clenched and he seemed to have grown a few more grey hair. I signalled Lavender, and they brought out some interesting pictures that made his blood pressure spike. Father started coughing seriously and accidentally knocked off a glass cup to the floor. "I don't have all day, so please tell me if you are taking the offer or not. I know you don't want to liquidate." I pushed his buttons further not really bothered by the fact he was coughing his heart out. Dad is meant to be in perfect health so I was sure this was a play to get my pit
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-16Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 230 - Grumpy Sky
(Karis's pov) Going out with Skyler and Bertha was the best decision I made. Unlike what I had expected, Skyler didn't question me much about the reason I moved to the De Marco estate, nor did he mention it, which I appreciate because I don't want to imagine how Bertha would react if she found out. I had gotten a private room at a karaoke place where there was also BBQ and drinks. It was a fun combo. Loud music was playing in the background while Bertha was singing, and I would not lie. She wasn't exactly the best singer, but it was fun watching her. Skyler and I just laughed at her while enjoying our BBQ and some alcohol, and I think I might have drank a little too much, but I was still sober. "That was fun," Bertha chimed after finishing a song then quickly gulped down some of her beer. "So what did you think of my performance? The great Bertha Rivers." She excitedly said feeling a bit tipsy as she sluggishly sat by my side. "It was perfect," I lied, being a supp
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-17Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 231 - Let's go home
(Karis's pov) I could hear my heart beating in my chest from my ears as Skyler inched closer. His breath was a mix of alcohol and mint. I was already tipsy so just imagine the kind of situation I was in. The cold winter breeze blew across us. My hands clenched and before I could evade him in my drunk state. "I want to kiss your lips so badly, Sunny. Would it be a sin if I listened to my inner thoughts this once?" My breath hitched, "Skyler, I can't," even if I was tipsy, I could not kiss him. "Shush, that's enough. It won't be nice to just stop thinking about anything and focus on me." His thumb was rubbing my lips as his dark obsidian eyes drew me in. "Red," I heard someone call from behind and I froze. Skyler's jaw clenched as I shoved him off to look behind. I was nervous like I was just caught cheating by my husband, only that it wasn't my husband but my ex-husband. Xander stood a few steps away from us in a long jacket under the light snow as the breeze blew r

(Xander's pov) She was ignoring calls, I scoffed at the thought. After Karis left the estate in the afternoon I was working in my study until I got a text from the single guard she took out. He informed me she had a meeting earlier with her father to buy off his shares at the Reynolds company then took a detour to celebrate her success. I was happy for her that she finally achieved her goal but not so happy about the second half of the information. She invited Skyler too. Little Red was out drinking with Skyler knowing fully well her alcohol tolerance was that of a baby. I didn't want to think much about it, but the thought that she might get drunk by Skyler's side was bugging me then again, they have known each other for those 4 years. What if she had gotten drunk with Skyler before? That thought left a bitter taste in my mouth. Eventually, I was unable to stay put and left the estate after having dinner with the twins, only to be welcomed by the sight of Skyler almost kissi
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-18Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 233 - Beginning of chaos
(Karis's pov) I felt warm and fuzzy. I didn't know why but it made me happy. My body snuggled close to the warmth hugging it tightly. One of my hands moved downward, brushing against something that was poking out of the fabric. ' wait a freaking moment.' my thoughts screamed I was hugging someone. He was large as at that. What was a man doing in my bed?! I freaked out. My eyes popped open to find myself hugging Xander. While holding the thing from earlier. I quickly let go realizing what it was. He was asleep, but I didn't give a fuck. Xander was shirtless, and I was wearing his shirt, meaning this bastard saw me naked. I sat up, then kicked him, "What the hell are you doing in my bed!?" I barked at him feeling used and exposed. Xander groaned and turned to look at me. His hair was dishevelled, but this bastard was still good-looking with those grey eyes that had a misty look in them that made him look a bit mysterious. That was not the problem but the fact

Escaping my heartless billionaire husband TRAPPED WITH THE RUTHLESS ALPHA
CHAPTER FOUR - THE ROMANOV BROTHERSADELINA'S POV I was completely blown out of my mind when I heard him. Mikhail Romanov was a mystery to me. A seasoned businessman who suddenly popped out of nowhere and stormed the entire business world. There was very little about him online but there were rumours of how ruthless he was when taking out his competition and how much underground connection he has. When I said I was ready to do anything in my mind, the most degrading thing that crossed my mind was to be his servant at his mercy, but it never crossed my mind he would tell me to strip in a public event. I bit my lower lip in between my teeth, not only because of how nervous I felt in his presence but also thanks to the Bullet wound in my arm. "You must be joking, that can't be a request." I blurted. Thinking he would laugh out, saying it was a joke, but he didn't budge one bit. He stood tall with his hand in his pocket and his eyes keenly observing me. His lips p
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband TRAPPED WITH THE RUTHLESS ALPHA
CHAPTER THREE - TYRANT OF THE BUSINESS WORLD MIKHAIL'S POV I hated crowded places, especially ones filled with humans, but this was what I could not escape if I wanted to make sure I stood at the Pinnacle of the business world. Twirling the wine glass in between my fingers, my eyes glanced around the hall, looking for anything that could pique my interest. "What do you think about the corporation? Mr Romanov." An annoying voice chattered in my ears. I glanced at the middle-aged man who had been trying his best to strike a deal with me, but it was not a profitable venture. "I will think about it." I politely declined, even though we both knew I was not going to give him a second thought. How boring? A sigh left my lips for the hundredth time today. I was bored out of my mind. Maybe I should have attended the wedding even though my beloved brother didn't invite me. It would be fun to see the unfortunate human he tricked into marrying him. The unfortunate soul I would have t

CHAPTER TWO - THE BLOODY BRIDE ADELINA'S POV The best day of my life slowly turned into a scene from a nightmare I could not wake up from. Sitting in a white pool lace of my long princess wedding dress, my face was pale, and I froze. "Papa," I said again but it came out like a whimper this time around. The flower bouquet in my hand was on the floor. I grabbed my face with both hands, shaking my head over and over again, thinking it was a nightmare, but it was real. All that was on my mind was to reach my father's side, but Viktor had other plans. He firmly held my arm. "Where are you going, Mrs Romanov ?" He asked me. I did not care about that title. All I wanted was to run to my father's side. Why did Viktor shoot Dad? We were his allies. No matter how I think of it, my head could not think of a reason why. "This is a wedding present from me to you." He grinned at me. Everyone was in shock because of the sudden gunfire. Soon, it sank into my father's men's heads that thei
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband TRAPPED WITH THE RUTHLESS ALPHA
COMING SOON CHAPTER ONE - A BLOODY WEDDING ADELINA'S POV The happiest day of a woman's life was meant to be the day she gets married to the love of her life and I thought it was true. I had never felt this genuinely happy in my life before, despite all the resistance of us being from rival mobs. Finally, I was getting married to Viktor, the Mafia boss of a rival Russian mob today. Although my marriage was not purely based on love, the main goal was to join two of the biggest Mafia underground associations. My fiance, Viktor, owned one of the richest and most dangerous Russian mobs; my father agreed to this marriage to seek his protection as our group, despite its large size, is nothing compared to Viktor's association. The soft organ melody echoed through the large sculptured walls of the old cathedral to the outside, it was loud enough to reach the environs. Stepping down from the car I made my way towards the large doors of the ancient cathedral. The doors swung open
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 274 - Forever be his little red/ the end
(Xander's pov) The soft sound of running water echoed from the bathroom; I pushed the door open entering the bathroom filled with steam with a thick scent of Lavender oils. It smelled like heaven, my little heaven. I got rid of the towel wrapped around my waist and then brushed my hand through my hair before my eyes drew to the glass walls of the shower. A silly grin graced my lips as I made my way towards the shower, where I could see Karis's figure from the glass taking a shower. I couldn't help but smile wider; I slowly walked towards the shower, the only place where I was sure the children wouldn't disturb us because Xavier sometimes cries to sleep with his mother. My life was pitiful, fighting with my children over my wife's time and attention; maybe we should have stopped with the twins. I stopped in the shower; Karis's back relaxed, sensing my presence. "I thought you weren't coming," she said, rubbing her hair with her back against me. "So you were expecting me." I c
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 273 - Forgiven myself
(Xander's pov) SIX YEARS LATER The cool spring breeze blew, carrying a little scent on wet soil. It was another spring again and 15 years after Alessia left this world. I placed a bouquet of flowers on her tombstone, along with several others, which have been kept here. A lot has happened these past years, and I have been so busy I barely had time to visit Alessia aside from her death anniversary. Karis and I are hosting a small get-together to celebrate. Mum and Dad loved the idea of getting old friends and family together. "Alessia, it's been a while, and we all miss you, but you are in a better place now..." I started my one-sided dialogue with my sister. I had a feeling she was listening. Honestly, everyone was fine these past years, at least from what they told me. Skyler was getting better. At least he wasn't hallucinating again, but his condition was permanent. Either way, he was doomed; he deserved it. It was crazy, but I think I am ready to forgive
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 272 - Retribution
(Karis's pov) " So he planned everything before you even knew you were pregnant. He knew and understood the danger it would put you in. There was no way he could hurt the child you have been looking forward to, a baby he secretly wished for, so he planned everything..." " Have you ever wondered why he hid the affair until that day? His plan was to make you divorce him and heartlessly take the child away from his messed up life. You deserved better and still do. But I can't imagine living a life without you. That's why I am sorry for his insensitive actions." So that was the truth, it was crazy but I chose to believe him more like I didn't care anymore. I got a redo, and this time, none of those things happened. Xander never cheated even when he was hypnotized. "It is fine, Xander; I really don't care. It never happened to us, but to them, and if you could never bring yourself to have sex with Emma when she was carrying the illusion of being me, I can't possibly se
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 271 - A message from the past life
(Karis's pov) The heartbeat slowed down and dropped to my stomach. I felt emotions and I didn't understand happiness and dread. I was happy that the man I loved was back but dreaded it because it felt like the old Xander. "You remember everything," I muttered, and I felt Xander stiffen his hold. "I am sorry that Xander was a jerk, but he did not mean to break you that way," Xander muttered his words, swallowing. My jaw clenched, "Xander, let go," I stated, but he only held on tightly. "If you don't let go it will only make things worse. I promise I am not running unless it's to you." Those words seemed to have worked because his hold relaxed. I took a step back to look clearly at him; he truly looked sorry. This was the Xander I had known for four years and not the jerk who cheated with Emma, yet there was this fury that bloomed in my heart. Next, the sound of skin striking against each other echoed in the room; Xander was stunned as he gazed back at me; conf
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 270 - The end of Chaos
(Karis's pov) Time seemed to have ticked by slowly every minute took forever. I was sitting in the waiting area with my hands still covered in Xander's blood. I was too anxious to even get cleaned. Xander was in surgery already, and Ivan kept on assuring me that everything would be fine. I also hoped the same thing, but I would have felt more assured if Kyle was here. Although he was an annoying prick, Kyle was, without a doubt, a genius doctor. "Mummy," I heard childish voices call out, slicing through the tension. I glanced at the direction of the voice and a soft smile crossed my lips when I saw Val and Vance running towards my direction with Camilla following behind. They ran into my open arms, and I embraced them, feeling at home. "Where is Kyle?" Ivan asked instead. "I ran into him and the twins while heading for the emergency ward. He had to leave to prepare for the surgery. It seems things are a bit complicated." Camilla said, sounding exhausted; I
