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

(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

(Karis's pov) My head was spinning and it took a while for me to realize what was happening. A second ago, I was in the middle of the road about to be crushed by a car, and the next second, I appeared in the dressing room on my wedding day. I would have thought it was a dream or a joke but I could feel Bertha hold on my wrist. Was I being reborn to have a second chance in life? I stopped moving as I came to the realization. Bertha turned back at me, surprised why I stopped; her eyes went wide, stunned because my eyes were blurry with unshed tears. I felt like crying, remembering everything that happened in my past, which might repeat itself in the future. "Karis, Are you crying? Please don't cry today should be your happiest. I can't believe you are finally married to Xander, your long-time crush." Bertha said in a calm voice caressing my hand. "I can't help it." I sniffed, hugging Bertha; it had been ages since I saw her because Bertha died in the past. She wa

(Karis's pov) My heart skipped a beat, feeling Xander's hands around my waist in a protective way. Even the way his voice sounded in my ears made me shiver. I was stunned that Xander stepped in between me and Skyler because he had never done something like this in our past life. He was never protective of me, and I knew secretly it was because he resented me because of our arranged marriage. Xander was forced to marry me because of a promise his mother made to my dead mother. It was funny to realize I came between him and his true love Emma. ' What was he trying to do here? ' After all, he should not give a fuck about me or who I speak to. He should run ahead to his crying lover and not me. If this was the former me, butterflies would have been in my stomach, yearning for the touch of the man I loved and chased for years, but his touch didn't feel the same anymore. "What if I can't do that Mr De Marco? You have a beautiful wife here, and it is tempting and hard to
Last Updated : 2024-09-11Escaping my heartless billionaire husband I don't love you anymore
(Xander's POV) Karis was left speechless, her mouth parted and closed as if searching for the words to reply to me. I could not point my fingers at exactly what it was, but after when she stormed out of the hall because of Emma's provocation, it seemed like she was a different person. Her eyes, which were always filled with admiration, were dull. I was still finding it hard to believe she had run away from me. What the hell was going through her mind? She used to be a naive open book I could easily read, but now I had no idea what she was thinking. The lady underneath me was different from the little girl I grew up with, who kept pestering me everywhere. The shock in her eyes disappeared and was replaced with a mischievous look. "Who said I belong to you, Xander?" She snickered at me. I didn't like the tone in which she spoke, how dare she suddenly behave like she didn't love me after we were married due to her obsession. "Repeat what you just said Karis and I
Last Updated : 2024-09-11Escaping my heartless billionaire husband my biggest mistake
(Karis's pov) I loved to see the shocked expression on Xander's face; he probably could not believe that I lost interest in him. "You are in love with someone else." Xander chuckled, unable to believe the words that were coming out of my mouth. His shock was understandable because which bride in her right mind would tell her husband on their wedding night that she doesn't love him but it had nothing to do with me "Yes, I made a mistake in the past and I..." He didn't let me finish my statement as my lips were sealed by Xander's lips again. It seemed like he wanted to dominate me with his sexual appeal, and I wouldn't lie 'cause he was dangerous. Every time his lips captured mine, and his sinful tongue started exploring my mouth. It makes me feel like giving in to him. Xander was going to be the death of me. Despite how I kept on telling myself I should avoid him a part of me that always craved his love and affection wanted to give in. Why was he doing this to

(Karis's pov) "Come in." I managed to say. My voice was a bit raspy from crying all night. Luckily, the maid could hear me. The door creaked open, and a brunette a few years younger than me opened the door. The maid was shocked when she laid her eyes on me with them popping out. "You slept with your wedding dress on!" She gasped with her hands rushing to cover her mouth. She quickly realized her tone was a bit rude and immediately apologized. "I am sorry for the way I spoke. Good morning, Madam De Marco. I am Deborah, and I will be serving you this morning however you want ." Deborah introduced herself slightly bowing. "Did Xander send you to check on me?" I asked Deborah whose eyes subconsciously averted. I scoffed at her reaction. He must have sent her to check if I did anything crazy after last night. "Mr De Marco instructed us to take very good care of Mrs De Marco." She answered, avoiding my question. This was how Xander's staff were even in the past. Now I

(Karis's pov) I tried my best to behave like I was not affected by his words, but my burning ears gave me out. "That sounds like a tempting offer but I think it is presented to the wrong woman." A soft smile graced my lips. I was bringing up Emma again but not directly because no matter how trained and confidential the servants were, it would be unpleasant to have rumours going around about my husband having a lover that was none other than my very own sister. "We will see about that," Xander replied in a flat tone, still not affected by my words. He was different this morning from how he was last night. This was the Xander I knew who cared less about me and exactly what I wanted. "Don't get your hopes high after all, remember what I said as my reason last night." Xander's expression finally cracked a bit. I was talking about the lie I said about being in love with another, it seems that was his bottom line. Xander was a very possessive person from what I remember

Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 245 - She took them
(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 cou
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 244 - Sweet Trap
(Vance's pov) Since it was the holidays, Val and I majorly spent our days indoors. From what I heard Dad prohibited us from leaving the estate. It was fun spending time with Val but staying in the estate all day was a bit boring. "I wish we can go get some ice cream," Val whined, lying flat on the rug, exhausted from a long game of hide and seek. I took my seat by her side, also in the mood for ice cream. "Let's go ask Deborah, I am sure there is ice cream in the fridge." Val immediately sat up excited for ice cream.." that's true. I almost forgot that we can get it from the kitchen, although it will be nice to visit the park daddy used to take us to. I loved the ice cream from the truck there." Val's mood was brightened and dulled again. We didn't know the reason why we had to stay indoors but I had a feeling it was related to my former mummy. I overheard Dad one time on the phone saying something about Emma wanting to hurt Val and me. "Let's get the ice crea
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 243 - Terrible news
(Karis's pov) There was a little note on the drawer with the pills,~~~~ I had to leave for an emergency sorry I didn't wake you up. You were sleeping too peacefully I could not bring myself to wake you up. I dropped some pills that would be useful to you although I prefer you take only the painkillers. I can already imagine your glare while reading this. Make sure to eat something before leaving for work. Your favourite devil Xander.~~~~ It was a simple message but it kind of made me feel fuzzy on the inside. "What are you thinking Karis?" I said, slapping my cheeks as I cupped my hands. It was a regular one-night stand that happened because I was emotionally vulnerable. There was nothing much to think about it. I quickly drank the pills gulping down some water after. I instantly regretted not brushing my teeth before taking them; my mouth stunk of morning breath. My eyes darted around the room; I was super exhausted; I didn't want to move a muscle, but I
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 242 - filling his ego
(Karis's pov) I struggled to free my hands from his grasp. The need in my cunt was driving me nuts. He got to be kidding me but it didn't look like he was joking. "You will really be the death of me." I cried out; he ruthlessly dragged me from the heavens, crashing back here. "Not as much as the jealousy kills me," Xander stated with all seriousness. I swallowed hard confused why this man was so jealous. My thoughts strayed, wondering if there was a slight possibility he didn't touch Emma that night because it was crazy why he cared what I did with Skyler those past years after what he did. "Why do you care? You act like you love me." I sneered at him, something flickered through his eyes I couldn't understand. Xander rubbed his bulge that was still within the restraints of his boxers on my pussy that was crying badly I swallowed hard after a long hiss left my lips. "What if I do? Is there anything wrong with that?" He asked me back his lips brushing against m
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 241 - line between pleasure and pain
(Karis's pov) Xander was a bit stunned when I kissed him but he quickly recovered from the shock and returned the kiss. Things got more heated as we continued to get entangled on the bed. His hands were not idle, they quickly snuck under me to undo the zip, and soon later, my dress was already discarded on the floor, leaving me in my undies. I was too high in the moment to care. He left my lips trailing his kisses to my ear, which he nibbled while grinding and dry humping me. I didn't even care about holding back my little moans. "I want you to undress me." He whispered a command and then sat up in between my legs, which were wide open for him. My gaze travelled to his handsome face that was covered by some of his dishevelled hair then those grey eyes that were drawing in me. Spellbound to his words, I sat up, kneeling on the bed in front of him. His gaze was intense. I couldn't hold it. I bowed my head and then reached out for his shirt. My actions were slopp
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 240 - Embrace a sin
(Karis's pov)' Will it be a sin if I let go for this once? ' I asked myself that question as soon as I felt his lips on mine. I understood what Xander meant by don't kiss and tell. It's hilarious but I think I actually needed this now more than ever just to let go. Every resistance I had was immediately thrown out of the window; those lips were drawing me and I accepted the sweet temptation I had no hesitation to. He wasn't rough like I expected but was gentle and tender. It was like he was telling me something I had been ignoring and I didn't want to acknowledge, but tonight, I honestly didn't care. I felt hollow inside and exposed, and I needed something to complete me, even if it might be temporary. He pulled me closer as my hand searched for his hair, pulling me closer to the temptation. He left my lips, trailing his tongue up to my ears. He nibbled on causing a whimper to escape my lips. His voice was hoarse and a seductive tone as he whispered in my ears.
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 239 - Kiss and Tell
(Xander's pov) Little Red Face lost her red glow. I could stand her anger when she glared, her embarrassing moments, her smiles, even her cusses, but this was something that broke me. She was pale and broken, and her voice trembled. My jaw clenched. This was the worst way for her to find out her stepmother killed her mother. I wanted to pull her into a hug, telling her it was okay to cry and that she could cry on me. I wanted to tell her sweet words to reassure her she wasn't alone. I was here and would be able to be by her side, but her voice ripped my heart. I have never seen her this broken. I could not stand it. She wanted me gone, I didn't want to. I could never leave her like this. "Karis." I softly called, but she jumped off the bed and then burst out. "Xander no, I said no. Just leave me the hell alone." She screamed at me, the tears continued pouring out. Her tears were precious, and I'd rather not see them, but she wanted me gone. I understand the fee
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 238 - Dad's journal
(Karis's pov) My face was pale and I was completely flabbergasted. It was difficult to imagine. Miranda was a witch, but murder was not a joke. She loved Christian. I could remember how she acted in the hospital, she was completely devastated by everything. "I am sorry, but that's what we suspect," Xander said, embracing me with his familiar warmth as his rich scent that I was addicted to overshadowed me. I didn't want to shed tears to be completely thrown off. "You are trembling, little Red. This is why I didn't want to talk to you right away." He sighed, rubbing my back as I leaned on his chest. "But why would she want him dead? He was going to give them everything." I asked Xander, although I knew clearly he didn't hold the answers I was searching for. "I have no idea but something caught my attention. I was looking into the Reynolds family before you froze the accounts and found out most of Christians's account funds were being diverted in small amounts so as
