Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 36 - Possessive Husband
(Xander's pov) Karis and Skyler were the stars of the night; I could even hear murmurs go around at how charming they looked together, like a real couple. Someone even had the nerve to mention that Karis was more suited for Skyler because of his friendly demeanour, unlike me, who was rough on the edges. I scoffed at their words only if they knew the Skyler I consider my rival. His friendly smile could never fool me. It was getting unbearable to watch them, I was itching to pull them apart. Unfortunately, if that happened, it would be scandalous, and some might even say Karis was in an affair with Skyler. That was one rumour I could not afford. I grabbed a wine glass from a nearby server and clung it down in one go. If looks could kill, Skyler would have fallen dead on the ground. "Xander isn't that Skyler dancing with Karis?" Mum asked me. Her voice startled me because I didn't hear her coming as all my attention was on Karis. ' why does she never smile genuine
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 37 - My Greatest Sin Was To Love You
(Karis's pov) Under the beautiful moonlight on a wide veranda connected to the hall, the two enchanting figures were dancing to the soft melody from the hall. I leaned on Xander's chest to catch my breath after that demanding kiss that sucked the life out of me. There was tension thick between us, but from an outsider's view, you would not be able to guess anything was off from first glance because it seemed like a lovely couple privately enjoying the night, only that the reality of things was far from that. I was annoyed that Xander was dancing with Emma first while he was threatening to punish me for dancing with Skyler as a means to get back at him. Xander was just simply outrageous. Xander was pissed, but it didn't matter to me; he acted like I was the one at fault when the person who started it was him. "Punish me? I didn't do anything wrong here. If anyone should be punished, that person should be you, Xander." I latched out at him. He didn't even bother to explain t
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 38 - You Disgust Me
(Karis's pov) The wind howled with a deafening silence. Xander just stood rooted, thrown off by my questions. His lips parted but no words left it. Instead, his fingers raked through his hair as he let out a guttural groan. "You don't want to know the answer, and if I tell, you would not believe me," Xander answered and I scoffed at him. I knew the answer: the only thing he wanted from the way he acted was my body. We were both sexually attracted to each other. "Karis, I don't want to hurt you, but I can't bear to see you with Skyler. You are mine and that is something we would have to learn to leave with." He added, which made me angrier. "Fuck off, Xander; I am not yours and belong to no one else." I gritted my teeth at him, tired of hearing him proclaim that thing over and over again. "You can keep on lying to yourself but I am sure you know the answer. Even though there is no love between us, our fates are already sealed and enough with the drama." Xander b
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 39 - Finding Comfort In His Embrace
(Karis's pov) Although we were both drenched with water I was the only one shivering and was cold. My hands shamelessly clung to the same person who I said disgusted me, pressing my body against him trying to feel his warmth. Xander gazes down at me with his mouth shut. He didn't comment on my behaviour and let me cling to him. He stretched out his hand to grab his jacket, which he had pulled off before diving into the water and draped it around me. "Achoo." I sneezed and my nose turned red. I reached out to rub my nose, but then again, another sneeze left my nose. Xander released a tired sigh as he got on his feet, carrying me in a bridal style. "You have already gotten a cold." He stated the obvious; I buried my face in his chest, annoyed by the caring and concerned look he had on his face. He was not going to fool me with that look. Luckily Xander didn't say a word to make me feel more embarrassed. We left the gala Venue through the back exit to avoid any pap
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 40 - A Bath Together After A Fight
(Karis's pov) "Achoo." I sneezed again immediately after I entered the bathroom, and the hot steam got into my nose. I sniffed because of the itching discomfort in my nose. "Bless you." My ears caught Xander's voice, which seemed like he wanted to laugh. What was so funny about sneezing? Xander carried me in his arms like I was a fragile being that could easily snap or break in his hand. He walked towards the large tub and gently placed me inside. The tub was already filled with warm water, and the lathe with soap. "You are adorable when you act obedient." He commented. Xander pulled off the towel on his waist; my eyes quickly averted as they caught sight of his little brother, who was not little, hanging down there. He was stark naked, the same as me, except for the fact I still had my panties on. Xander walked to the towel rack to hang the towel he had on, and I used the opportunity to pull off my panties. Xander came back towards the tub and my per
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 41 - Sharing a Bed
(Karis's pov) "There is no need for that. It doesn't matter if we have a honeymoon or not." I blurted out because the last thing I desired was going on a trip with Xander with this much tension between us. Xander's hands paused for a second, and I could feel him get colder behind my back. He went silent before he finally spoke. "I think it would be best for us. Mum was the one who suggested the idea." He mentioned. I was left tongue-tied, wondering if Xander was against this idea but just wanted to travel to put up an appearance. After all, today at the gala, a lot of people were curious why we had yet to travel out for our honeymoon. "I will think about it, and also, I can finish washing up myself," I said. Even though what was in my mind was thinking of the best excuse not to go, presently I was too exhausted to argue with Xander. Xander didn't argue with me and handed over the sponge to me. Immediately after I got it, I moved over to the other side of the tu
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 42 - A Visit From my Mother in Law
(Karis's pov) My eyes were on Xander's face side profile. Even when he was busy, he was still tempted. ' stop thinking about silly things, Karis.' I palmed both my cheeks before taking a deep breath. I slipped into the covers. "Are you going to be sleeping here?" I asked him and immediately wondered why I was asking such a silly question. Xander glanced at me with one of his brows. "Where else do you expect me to sleep?" He said as a matter of fact. I scoffed at him, he was indeed intent on making my night hellish. "In that case, we should split the bed." I started picking up pillows to demarcate the bed. I lined them in the middle dividing the bed into half. Xander chuckled at me, brushing his hair off his forehead and amused me. I bit my cheeks and ignored him. "Better stay on your side of the bed," I warned him, settling down on the bed to sleep. Xander laughed and the bed dipped because of his weight. The pillows placed behind me were unceremoniously remove
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 43 -99 roses
(Karis's pov) Camilla squinted her eyes at me, suspicious of why Skyler sent me a package considering the fact we danced in the middle of the hall yesterday. "Bring the package in," I instructed John. Camilla cleared her throat, indicating I was meant to turn back the package due to whatever feud Skyler had with the De Marco, but I couldn't turn back the package without knowing what was inside. I was genuinely curious to know what Skyler sent to me. "Alright, ma'am." John nodded then left. I gave Camila a tight-lipped smile and waited for John to bring the package. It was a cute box with a bouquet of flowers, Red roses, to be specific. The package came with a card. "I can't stop thinking about your sparkling hazel eyes. It keeps me up all night. Please accept this little token of our friendship. SC" My brows furrowed at the card which caught Camilla's eye. Skyler planned on ruining my name. I bit my lips and opened the small box, and my jaw dropped. It was

(Karis's pov) Xander was busy cooking while I stared blankly at him, lost for words. "Are you cooking for me?" I rubbed my eyes and then asked, because this had to be a dream, why the hell was he cooking for me? "Who else will I cook for aside from my wife? Well, unless we have a mini version of us, which is not a bad idea." Xander replied not taking his eyes off what he was doing. He switched off the cooker to drain the pasta. Then he started making the sauce. I had no idea he could cook, this was the first time. "This won't make me hate you any less." I retorted at him. If he thought cheap tricks like this could win me over he better think again. Xander glanced at me with a very dazzling smile that sparkled in his eyes and showed his dimples. "At least you didn't reject the idea of having children." He chimed, leaving me speechless. I hopped off the counter to head back to my room. No matter what, I was still mad at him, so this little kind act was only infuria
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 104 - A Piece of Work
(Karis's pov) I stayed in my room the entire evening avoiding anything that would make me see Emma. It was better to avoid useless fights. I spent my time looking into some of my Father's businesses and particularly mum's investment. It didn't come as a surprise that most of my mother's shops were managed by Emma and Miranda. How was I able to look past this fact in my past life? There was a knocking sound on the door. "Good evening ma'am. May I come in?" It was Deborah. I allowed her to enter the room. Soon the brunette dressed in a maid outfit entered the room. Her hands were clammy, she was nervous for an unknown reason. "Are you alright?" I asked her purely out of concern. She quickly straightened up and then cleared her throat. "Sorry if my behaviour was off. I am here to invite you for dinner. Mr De Marco is expecting you since you have been indoors all day." So he missed his little wife he loves bullying. I scoffed. "Is Emma still around?" I asked strai
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 103 - Lying Bastard
(Karis's pov) I thought the madness ended that unfortunate night but I had no idea what was waiting for me online. The next morning the entire X was flooded with images of Skyler and me together. There was this particular one that seemed like we were kissing. Who had taken these pictures I wondered? It kept me on my toes the entire day. Xander was pissed, that was one thing for sure. I didn't even catch a glimpse of him when I got out of bed this morning which was great. It would only remind me of my shamelessness. As he had promised, I was indeed prohibited from leaving the estate without protection, he said, but it seemed more like he was caging me. My hands clenched to the side when I saw Xander's car drive into the estate. I was peeking through the window of my bedroom. Xander got out of the car, and his eyes were drawn to my direction as if he sensed my gaze. I was unsure if he saw me or if he was just glancing at the prison cell where he kept his wife. Xander averte
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 102 - Shameless Slut
**** Trigger notice dark scenes ahead**** (Karis's pov) The mansion was dark because it was probably very late in the night; flashes of lights showed around whenever lightning struck the sky. It was very eerie, and I was being trapped by a devil, but yet I felt excited about a very strange reason. Yes, I had lost my nuts at that point. My plans during this second chance were to push Xander to the edge, but seeing how he reacted concerning Skyler, struck terror in me. "This is absurd. You can't force me to stay with you, Xander. Why are you so adamant about tormenting yourself with my presence when you can have Emma or even Benita?" My voice came out sharply at first but broke into a cry. My emotions were a mess as a mixture of terror and excitement ran through my veins. "As much as I love hearing your voice, dear wifey, I love it better when you don't talk. You just love pushing my buttons. Don't you?" He said, wiping my tears away with his thumb; he then reached out to kiss
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 101 - I Am Also Crazy
*** Trigger notice, dark scenes ahead****(Karis's pov) I was shaken to the core; in front of his large frame in the middle of nowhere, I felt so vulnerable. I hated this feeling more than anything in the world, but in front of him, I felt powerless. I was not weak by any means, but I was never given the chance to grow. My second chance was for me to grow and get back at them, but his very existence was my curse that made all my efforts seem useless. Xander was just too powerful, and the worst thing was that my body was drawn to him. I should hate him, but there was a part of me that couldn't hate him. Xander's hand was still on my mouth, stopping me from talking further. He crooked his face on my hair. My hands pressed against his chest to push him away, but he was an immovable wall. The sky rumbled, followed by the bright lighting flash that made Xander look more intimidating. I was trying my best not to fall on my knee. " Why do you keep on lying to yours
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 100 - Hunting Little Red
****Trigger warning, you can skip this chapter. The scenes might seem dark to some readers****(Karis's pov) Xander became creative with his punishments, but I had no idea why I was being punished. The pit pattern sound of raindrops on the soil echoed throughout the woods. It was dark, and I was lost in the woods. This was an acre of land that had been passed down for generations. I was always scared of this area, so I had never ventured into the woods. Chills and shivers crept up my skin; my entire body was soaked with my clothes clinging to my body. I could not run any deeper into the woods because I had no idea what might be hiding in the eerie place. My heart was beating fast, thudding in my chest with my breath haggard. A twig snapped close to me, and my eyes shot out. He was close. I pressed my body close to the tree trunk hoping he would walk by because running would expose my location. Xander's movements were nibbled and cautious. He was like a
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 99 - Run Little Red
(Karis's pov) The entire ride back home I had this feeling something was off. My mind was plagued by a lot of thought at the moment, making it hard to figure out what the problem was. I packed my car in front of the house and gave the keys to Sam to pack it properly. Immediately, I alighted from the car; a piercing gaze was locked on me, which gave me goosebumps. My eyes glanced up in a particular direction and it caught the sight of a tall figure blended in the darkness dressed in all black. I recognized it to be Xander immediately; he was standing on the balcony that led to our room smoking. The lit cigarette was between his lips while his hand held a glass containing alcohol.' was he waiting for me?' I swallowed hard because fear twisted my stomach for a strange reason it seemed Xander was mad at me. This was the second time, I had seen Xander smoke, he was not a chain smoker and I had a gut feeling he only smokes when he is pissed off. His eyes briefly lo
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 98 - They Kissed
(Xander's pov) This week has been hectic, all thanks to an annoying fly who I have been trying my best not to snap his neck. Skyler has been trying to poach my partners and future deals. I didn't take him seriously at first because most of those deals didn't affect me much, and I didn't feel the need to fight after a couple of irrelevant people that don't understand the meaning of loyalty. Whenever he poaches one, there is always a replacement ready, but his games have started to get more annoying. I was also occupied with figuring out how the hell my father got poisoned amidst all this chaos. It was hard to pin the blame on anyone because the De Marco name has its fair share of enemies. The board room was in chaos. Most of the shareholders and top managers were quite disturbed about the threat of the Crest conglomerate, but I wasn't bothered. No matter how they fuzz about it, I controlled over 80 per cent of the shares, holding the absolute deciding power, so in the end, e
Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 97- like mother like daughter
(Karis's pov) Up till now, I had no idea why Father had called me. He took his seat at the head of the table while Miranda sat by his side dutifully like a good wife. "How have you been dear? You seem to be glowing after you got married." Christian started to butter me up. He had a creepy smile on his face that made me feel something was off. "I have been doing great; the atmosphere at the De Marco estate is better than being surrounded by you pretentious bitches." I sneered, not sugarcoating my words. Father started to cough, understanding what I was implying. "That is no way to talk about mother and sister." Miranda butts in, her face marred with fury. "Mother, I had no idea my dead mother Hazel had another child. Why don't I have any idea of this father?" I acted oblivious to what she meant. Miranda's face flushed further. It was enjoyable to see her mad. Dad looked at me with his mouth agape, stunned by my behaviour; I was never the type to talk smack about peo
