(Karis's pov)

My heart was restricted and I couldn't breathe. My babies were missing, they were gone. Why was this happening now? Things just kept on piling up. I rushed out of the office not giving a fuck about the numerous other meetings I had.

Lavender could take care of it, all that mattered now was to get to the bottom of everything. Val and Vance, I loved them even though I was shocked at how fast I fell in love with Vance. He was such a sweet boy and now he and Val were missing.

From the glass doors I saw Xander waiting anxiously for me and a surge of anger fuelled me. He said he would protect the children and I but they got kidnapped under his watch.

I didn't care about the looks from the onlookers then ran towards Xander. He knew I was about to hit him but he didn't evade it and let me.

I palm struck hard on his face but Xander didn't say anything. "Say something bastard, how were they kidnapped?" I screamed at him. His jaw clenched. "I am sorry I couldn't keep my p

  • Escaping my heartless billionaire husband    246 - Am I The One At Fault

    (Karis's pov)The call hung up, I tried calling multiple times but no answer. Emma was with my children, what was going on here? Why was this happening to me now?My legs gave up all strength, falling down. Xander held me preventing me from falling but I could not handle this. If anything happens to the children I really don't think I would be able to live with myself. I just could not live with myself. "I am tired Xander." I muttered, "she is going to hurt them." Emma was a psychopath, her eyes told me that she would carry out her threats. "We will find them." He assured me but I was losing faith. All this while we have been searching for Emma still no sign. It's been 5 long days but she disappeared the same way Miranda did. This was driving me nuts. "When Xander? Why is it that whenever I am close to giving in this always happens?." I asked him, he didn't say anything but just held on to me tightly. I was trembling, my body didn't stop shaking. I finally got the rev

  • Escaping my heartless billionaire husband    247 - always suspected him

    (Xander's pov) Honestly, I never expected Karis would have slapped me, but it happened. I justified the reason, saying maybe she was overwhelmed, and it was also my fault. I was devastated, but unlike Karis, I wasn't the type that easily broke down. The only time I lost my shit was Karis's death. Karis's face was pale. She could not imagine the possibility of Skyler being after everything but tell me what other logical explanation there could be. I am certain Skyler was probably the one who hired Juliette, and not to forget he was with Karis during her pregnancy. Tell me, who else would be able to hide the fact she had twins and steal one of the children? I had suspected this for a while now, but there was no evidence, but Juliette's actions made everything certain. "I cannot think of anyone else. I always warned you he was a piece of work, there is a reason we don't get along. " I answered her. Karis jerked my hand away leaving the bed. "You are lying Xan

  • Escaping my heartless billionaire husband    248 - Mrs Karis Crest

    (Karis's pov) My life was falling apart all over. My eyes stared at the tray Xander left feeling no hunger in my stomach. How can I eat in this condition? I didn't want to think about the accusations Xander said. Skyler can't do all those things. I remember his genuine smile that kept me pushing. He was my bedrock and biggest support, so it wasn't possible. I curled up on my bed to cry. I didn't care what happened to me, all that mattered was my children. My eyes shone with determination; I was going to find out the truth and prove to Xander he was wrong this time around. ****** The sound of the door screeching against the floor as it was pushed open woke me up. My eyes fluttered open; there was a sharp headache that was pounding my head. It was hard to focus on anything. Last night, I had no idea when I slept; I had cried myself to sleep sometime after midnight. "Go away," I muttered, refusing to even see who was at the door. I curled up to bury myself in my

  • Escaping my heartless billionaire husband    249 - The person that made her

    (Emma's pov) It was fucking annoying listening to those little bastards cry all day. I didn't like the fact I was made to look after them. I kicked the door open, stunning the girl for a bit, the main crybaby. "Can you shut the fuck up?" I barked at her, staying here was unbearable. I just wanted to kill them. At least, it would be my revenge. "I want my mummy," she cried out after recovering from the shock. She was a naive girl and wasn't scared a bit by the fact that a gun was in my hand. My eyes dulled hearing her say, Mummy, that's right, they were Karis's Children. Vance tried to get Val to calm down, as he was more collected than the girl, but it didn't work. I cocked my gun at her. "If you don't shut up, I am fucking going to pull the trigger, and don't worry, soon your mother will join you." I threatened and it successfully made her stop crying. Val was curled up by the bed, quietly sobbing, while Vance's eyes stared at me as he comforted his sister. I understood the

  • Escaping my heartless billionaire husband    250 - Gone too far

    (Skyler's POV) I sat in my dim study, waiting. The low light and the soft glow of the minibar did nothing to ease my bad mood. I had been waiting for a few minutes, and every minute only made my irritation grow. They were taking forever. I lit a cigarette and took a slow drag, watching the bitter smoke curl upward. My thoughts were a jumble of frustration and anger. There was a faint sense of achievement after all things were still going according to plans. Finally, I heard the door open, and footsteps approaching. Someone had arrived.I looked up sharply, feeling my anger spike. "Why did you take so long? I fucking hate to be kept waiting," I asked, my voice rough and impatient.The intruder hesitated, fumbling with her words. I could sense the nervous look in her eyes as she tried to explain. But I was too upset to listen. Every minute of waiting had only deepened my irritation, and now, sitting there in my study, I felt no patience left. I could feel her tension behind me.

  • Escaping my heartless billionaire husband    251 - Seven years ago

    Note the following chapters related to Zed and Sky's back story will be in the third pov to make the pacing fast. After the flashbacks I will return to the regular first POV. Thanks for reading (⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠) ******** Back at the De Marco estate, Karis was still in a state of shock. She explained her best saying she had no idea about how she got married to Skyler. Luckily, despite Xander's rage, he listened to her. Sky Link headquarters were in France. As Much as Karis wanted to get on the first flight back, she could not when her children's whereabouts were unknown. The best she could do was make several calls trying to understand what was happening. To her dismay, it was real. Xander looked into it, and it turned out that she actually got married to Skyler 3 years ago when they moved to France. It was authentic and registered; she had unknowingly signed a marriage certificate without knowing it. What even made their marriage more legit was the fact that the hous

    This is based on my fiction so the location are based on imagination and not accurate to the actual Oxford University.********* There was a park close to the cafeteria, the sun was slowly setting, and Skyler was walking Amelia towards his car. They just finished a study session, which he paid her for, claiming he needed help because of the classes he missed when Skyler was even way better than her. He just enjoyed their study sessions because he would hear her voice go on and on. Her accent was a bit funny but he still loved it. People tend to do stupid shit when they are in love, and Skyler had Amelia in his heart since his freshman year, but she was anerd that loved her books more than people. Amelia chuckled, hearing Sky, then smiled lightly, making her blue eyes sparkle. The way her dirty blonde curls bounced and her eyes sparkled was always breathtaking it made every minute with her worth it. "There is something I have always wanted to do, and Tonight is perfect;

  • Escaping my heartless billionaire husband    253 - His biggest regret

    The air seemed to have gone still. Skyler heard Amelia clearly, and it felt like his heart was stabbed a thousand times over. He wondered if she knew all this while but deliberately ignored his feelings. A smirk graced Xander's lips, " Bold of you to confess in my front that you played my friend all along to get to me, Amelia. What does that make you?" Xander asked, bending over to her ear to whisper. Amelia's grip on her bag tightened. Did she say the wrong thing, but she was honest. "I am someone who genuinely likes you. I fell in love from the first day I saw you drive to the faculty in the car park. I understand you more than you..." Amelia kept on spouting complete nonsense that continued pissing Xander off. He didn't have the time for her rubbish. "If you know me well enough, you should not. I don't do relationships or love. I only fuck for fun, and trust me, even if you were the last girl available, I would never fuck that dried-up pussy off yours. Take your

  • 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

    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

    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

    (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

    (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
