Escaping my heartless billionaire husband 48 - Bullied By His Lover
(Karis's pov) I was supporting Bertha's weight which restricted my movements. It was certain Emma wanted to slap me but I could not avoid the hit. Her right palm struck across my left cheek, leaving her palm imprinted on it. The stinking feelings on my cheeks were a wake-up call. Since my actions had changed it also affected others. In my past life, Emma was a white lotus who hid her intentions well and never directly attacked me. More like she saw no reason to since I was not even considered an obstacle to her. "You slapped me," I said, my eyes watery due to the slap that struck it. Bertha was too dizzy to realize what was happening, and it made me panic, knowing I could not waste my time with Emma. Emma humphed and clicked her tongue. "And I will do it again. " I tried to ignore her but Emma blocked every path out of the restroom. "Emma, please can you move aside? I don't have time for this." I said through my gritted teeth. Emma ignored my words and s

(Karis's pov) For a short moment, my resolve crumbled. It was not a love confession, but I wavered. This was the nicest thing Xander had said to me and it made my eyes stink. "Ehem, sorry to interrupt but I thought you were heading to the hospital with your friend." Skyler's words broke the reverie. I glanced away from Xander's grey eyes that held emotions too complicated for me to fathom to Skyler's teasing smile. ' I can't back down now; Karis, don't forget who he is. Don't be deceived by his sweet words.' a sharp reminder echoed in my mind disappointed I got swayed by Xander's words. They both came to help me; how did they sense I was in danger? "I have to send Bertha to the hospital," I mentioned trying to break out of Xander's hold. My legs got off the ground and my eyes went wide to realize Xander was carrying me. "Where do you think you are going? Do you think you can help Bertha in your condition?" Xander commented carrying me in his hands. A pout formed

(Karis's pov) My leg was on Xander's thigh which he was applying ice on to prevent it from swelling. I don't know why he was still bothering to put on this fake appearance of caring about me. It was even more embarrassing, I almost fell for his act, forgetting it was his fault I was in this situation. "You fell in love with a random guy on your wedding day," Xander emphasized every word he said. He was mad, but for whatever reason he had, Xander was restraining himself from unleashing his anger. "Yes, what did you expect Xander? For years, I chased after you. Even though we are married now, you never reciprocated my feelings or even mentioned you love me once." I barked at Xander, thinking back at my sad love story. Xander was taken aback by my outburst, "What else do you want, Karis? You wanted us to get married and I did that. Now you want to go on and on about a divorce." Xander was getting more furious; the chills he was giving me were even more than what I fel

(Karis's pov) He agreed just like that despite how his entire body was against the idea. It stunned me because I had more to say to argue but he easily agreed. Maybe he also wanted the same thing but just wanted to keep a front. "If we are going to have an open marriage, the last thing I want is my mum to find out. No matter what you do, Karis, keep my mother out of it." Xander added which was a bit surprising. "Why do you want to keep her in the dark? She has no idea what her son is like." I scoffed at him folding my hands under my bosom. "It was her dream for us to get together, plus she threatened if things didn't work between us, she would come after me," Xander explained and my fury spiked up. So this was the reason he kept me despite hating me. It was because of his mother. "You have to find a way to fix that because I am not staying with you forever." I snickered; if he didn't find a way to fix whatever the problem was, it was going to be his headache beca

(Karis's pov) Bertha was very energetic after getting some medical attention. "Oh, that vixen was lucky. If not, I would have given her a piece of me," Bertha said lifting her hands like she wanted to throw a punch. I chuckled at her; the sombre atmosphere was lifted and our chuckles and laughs filled the room. "I am sure you would have. Emma is damn lucky she did not get a taste of your fist." Bertha laughed heartily, with a dashing smile on her face. Her blue eyes sparkled which made my heart feel a bit at ease. "How are you feeling now?" I asked her after our laughter had died off. I was sitting by her bedside. "I am fine, it is just my stomach ulcer acting up." Bertha brushed off my concern. She was trying to make me not to worry much. "Are you sure it is just an ulcer? The way you look says it's something worse. When did the symptoms start?" I squinted my eyes at Bertha wondering if she was hiding something from me. "The symptoms are exactly that of an

(Karis's pov) Xander was leaning on his car with a relaxed deposition, he was casually smoking with the smoke dancing around him. He pinched the cigarette between his thumb and index finger, taking a long drag before exhaling slowly. His eyes narrowed at me with his shoulders relaxed, and for an instant, the word slowed to his pace. He was relaxed, giving me a casual smile like what happened earlier in the car never happened. He was not even bothered by the fact Skyler hugged me in front of him. The car park was quiet, and the gentle tapping sounds of my footsteps on the concrete floor stretched throughout the car park, worn out by tyre marks and footsteps. The scent of gasoline and oil stains waffled in the air reminding me of how dangerous Xander smoking here was. I stopped a few steps away from him, my eyes were narrowed at him. "I was not expecting you to wait for me," I mentioned. Xander's eyes were still on me; he was frighteningly calm, just like the calm

(Karis's pov) Xander's audacity never fails to amaze me. The funniest part of everything was that he was not bragging it was the truth. "Because you can afford to buy whatever speeding tickets you get fined with doesn't mean you are free to drive like a maniac, this is not a freaking highway." I bashed back at him; the veins on my forehead were already twitching. "Karis stop nagging like an old granny and relax to enjoy the thrill." Xander chuckled as he overtook another car. The driver didn't like it and was screaming at him. ' God please help me. Why is this grown man behaving like a teenager?' I cried inwards. "I am not a granny but someone who values her life. Do you want me to die of a heart attack?" I barked at him, my chest was already heaving due to my unrestrained anger. "Don't worry about that; I am not a husband who will leave his wife to die on him." He chimed, his eyes were filled with excitement. I scoffed at him, he was the reason I di

(Karis's pov) Luckily, Xander finally listened to me and stopped speeding out the rest way back home. By the time we got back home, the sky was already dark. John welcomed us back; Xander invited John to his study to discuss some matters unknown to me while I went back to the bedroom. I had a hunch they were talking about the fiasco Skyler caused this morning. Xander's meeting with John took longer than expected; I later found out his assistant was called over, and they were discussing something very important. I didn't bother myself to know about whatever they were talking about because it had nothing to do with me. For the first time in forever, I enjoyed a peaceful meal without Xander. After dinner, I went to get ready for the night and started to sketch down some jewellery designs inspirations I got from the Blue's Secret fashion show, but it was hard to concentrate because my mind kept on thinking about Bertha's condition. "Ahhhh," a groan left my lips as I pulled

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
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
