I Married My Billionaire Ex 19
LEXI'S POV“So, you’re not gay,” I said while lying on the floor, staring blankly at the ceiling. I couldn’t move, as if my brain still hadn’t fully processed everything that had just happened.“Who said I’m gay?” he replied, and I felt his hands slide under my neck and the backs of my thighs. I didn’t resist as he lifted me and carried me to his bed.When I felt the soft mattress beneath me, I instinctively closed my eyes for a moment. I have to admit, my back was sore—from the cold floor and, of course, from what we had done earlier. Still naked, I pulled the blanket over myself to cover my body.“My parents think I am, but that doesn’t mean it’s true. And I just proved that to you,” he said with a smirk, standing by the bed.I glanced at him. Now that he had a towel wrapped around his waist, I had enough courage to look at him directly.“Having s*x with a woman doesn’t guarantee your gender,” I said flatly.He laughed softly, looking at me in disbelief. “So, how many times do I hav

SHIELA'S POV“d*mn that man. He really left me all alone,” I muttered in frustration, downing the drink I’d ordered.“It’s your fault, Shiela. You’re rushing things too much. It’s like you don’t know our old team captain anymore,” said Jenny, the owner of Midnight Elixir Bar and one of my high school friends.“You know, I never understood him, even back then. I mean, excuse me— Shiela Marie Castillon has been after him for years. And yet what? He chose to chase Lexi instead,” I said bitterly.Even now, I still can’t believe how Chase continued to ignore me. Way back in high school, I’d spent so long before trying to get his attention, only to find out he was courting my oh-so-perfect half-sister. And the worst part? Lexi actually said yes. She probably thought being the girlfriend of the team captain would elevate her status.“Didn’t he just do it because of a bet? So why should it even bother you?” Jenny remarked.I stayed silent, focusing instead on my drink.“But it’s still crazy.

SHIELA'S POV“Girl, that's enough already. You might actually get drunk for real. How will you score with Chase later if you’re wasted?”I let out a frustrated sigh and glanced at my watch. I’d been waiting here at Jenny’s bar for almost an hour, and Chase still hadn’t arrived. Boredom was getting the better of me, and I couldn’t stop ordering drinks. I was starting to feel dizzy, but I knew I could still handle it.“Why is he taking so long?” I asked irritably.“Are you even sure he’ll come? We might just be waiting for nothing,” Jenny replied, her voice carrying a baritone of doubt.I shook my head quickly. “Even if he is cold toward me, I know he can’t resist me. No one has ever said no to me, you know!”“Shiela, you’re drunk. Let me take you home,” Jenny offered.As she reached for my hand, I pulled away swiftly. “No. I’m not leaving here unless Chase is the one taking me home,” I declared stubbornly.“Shiela, do you even hear yourself right now?” she asked incredulously.I gave h

SHIELA'S POVI wiped my tears angrily and looked back at Chase's car. I can’t lose now. Everything was already going my way, and I wouldn’t allow it to be ruined just because of the girl he was talking about."Let me meet her," I said, emotionless."No," Chase replied firmly.I smiled faintly. "Once I meet your girl, I'll leave you both alone. I’ll even make excuses for our parents to stop the marriage," I added."I know you, Shiela. I won’t let you hurt my girlfriend."I laughed at what he said. I couldn’t believe he still carried the fear of what I was capable of. I didn’t think he’d still remember what I did to Lexi when I found out they were together before."As long as she’s not Lexi, I won’t do anything. And for sure, she’s not your girlfriend now, right?" I said with a smirk.I had no intention of bringing up my half-sister, but I was stunned by his reaction. He looked at me seriously, and my heart began to race."What the f*ck, Chase!" I exclaimed angrily.Even though I was di

LEXI'S POVI slowly opened my eyes and was greeted by Chase’s peaceful face. I couldn’t move right away because he was holding me tightly, his face was so close to mine. Thankfully, he was still sound asleep.I bit my lip. I really did stay over at his condo.Flashback"I'm used to sleeping on the floor as long as there’s a mat," I said to Chase with a smile when we got back to his condo.He frowned. "What? No. We’ll sleep together tonight," he said seriously.Chase had been in a serious mood ever since we left the bar’s parking lot. I didn’t know why his demeanor suddenly shifted. I didn’t know what to think or do, and instead of feeling comfortable around him, I began to feel uneasy again.He walked over to his bed and fixed the sheets that had been messed up earlier. I couldn’t help but recall what had happened earlier. I felt my face heating up again at the thought."Come," he said after finishing."I need to shower first, but I don’t have clothes to change into," I said hesitantl

SHIELA'S POVA hard slap jolted me awake. I quickly sat up and faced the audacious person who dared interrupt my sleep, but all my irritation vanished when I realized it was Mama."Good thing I woke you up immediately," she said angrily.I held my head as a sudden pang of pain hit me. I wasn’t fully aware yet due to how abruptly she woke me, and I couldn’t understand why she was upset."Do you not remember what happened last night?" she added.What happened last night? I tried to recall everything. From what I remember, I was with Jenny at her bar. Then, bit by bit, everything became clearer. I froze in my seat, unsure if I was dreaming or not."Mama, where is Lexi?" I quickly asked her.Her brows furrowed. "Of all people, she’s the one you’re worried about?"I grabbed Mama’s hand urgently. "Mama, listen to me. I don’t know if it was a dream, but Lexi—she was with Chase last night."Another slap landed on my cheek. Mama was fuming, and I couldn’t figure out why."You disappointed your

LEXI'S POV"Lexi, go back inside and apologize to your sister and father so they won’t send you out of the country," Nanny Linda said, crying.I slowly shook my head. The driver was busy loading my two suitcases into the car while I stood outside the house, unable to move."What story did Shiela make up this time?" I asked Nanny Linda instead.Papa was furious, so it was impossible that my sister hadn’t said something outrageous. I thought she’d only tell Papa about Chase, but clearly, I was wrong. I didn’t want Papa to disown me, but I also didn’t want to leave the country because it would ruin my plans. Leaving the country is a great advantage for my half-sister and stepmother. They will surely win this battle if I leave. Now I was torn about what to do.Chase wasn’t with me. He had dropped me off, and I hadn’t allowed him to face Papa yet. He agreed to my request and went home immediately after."She said you put something in her drink last night, causing her to come home unconscio

SHIELA'S POVThis can’t be happening. There’s no way they’re back together. Lexi can’t win again. Chase should only be mine. They need to be separated again. I can't let all of this happen. Not over my body.“Just calm yourself, Shiela,” Mama whispered, gripping my hand tightly.But I ignored her. My gaze was fixed on Lexi with pure hatred. She was the reason why Chase kept pushing me away. She was still the obstacle to all my plans.“Chase, what is the meaning of this?” Papa asked Chase, clearly confused.Lexi glanced at me and smiled, which only fueled my rage. I couldn’t hold myself back anymore—I walked toward her, fury boiling over. As I moved closer, I grabbed Mama’s flower vase. Without a second thought, I hurled it at Lexi with all my strength.But Chase was faster. He pulled Lexi out of the way, and the vase shattered loudly across the floor.“Shiela!” Mama screamed at me.I didn’t pay attention to her. My focus remained on Lexi. I couldn’t allow her to take everything from m

I Married My Billionaire Ex SPECIAL CHAPTER 2
LEXI’S POVI couldn’t stop smiling as I stared at Chase’s things here in the room where he had proposed to me. It had been six months since that day—six months since our baby was born. Now and then, I sneak away just to come back here and revisit the past, back when we were still in high school.I still can’t believe he managed to keep almost everything—from the letters I gave him, to the photos we had taken in that old studio, even the receipts from the convenience store where we used to get ice cream all the time. Most of the writing on the receipts had faded, almost unreadable now.“So this is where you’ve been hiding.”“Goodness, you startled me!”Chase laughed at my reaction when he suddenly spoke. I glared at him, but he quickly stepped closer and kissed me on the forehead.“You’re so cute when you’re startled, Baby,” he said.“How’d you know I was here?” I asked, steering the conversation.“I heard that you always sneak in here whenever Baby Trem is napping,” he replied serious

LEXI'S POVFLASHBACK (9 years ago)"Hey, Lexi, you're going with us on the field trip, right? I'm so excited!"I looked at Savina, who was already sitting beside me. It was our lunch break, and we decided to hang out inside the classroom instead of going outside. We had just finished eating, and Savina was worried that we might run into Shiela if we stepped out—my sister tended to bully me whenever the opportunity presented itself."Yeah. I have already told Papa. Since Shiela's going, I have to go too," I replied seriously."So, if Shiela decides not to go, you're not going either? Gosh, you're like your witch sister's shadow," she said, pouting.I gave her a light smack on the arm. "Keep your voice down. Someone might hear you."Savina rolled her eyes at me. "I don’t get you sometimes. You let your sister treat you like that. You’re being way too much of a pushover," she said, clearly disappointed.I gave her a small smile. We’d had this conversation so many times, but I never got t

LEXI’S POVI couldn’t hold back my tears as I took in the entire room. It was filled with stolen pictures of me, from as far back as high school, all the way through my working years. There were so many that they nearly covered the entire space. Tiny lights hung from the ceiling, casting a warm glow across the room. The floor was blanketed in petals from different kinds of flowers.And when my gaze landed on the man kneeling in the center of the room, I instinctively covered my mouth. He was crying too, holding a small red box. The moment the light hit what was inside, it sparkled."Hi, Baby," he said with a smile, despite his tears still falling."Grey..." was all I managed to say."Didn’t I tell you I would make things right once the chaos was over? And this is the right time to do it. Lexi, please... marry me again."I was about to answer when a sudden sharp pain hit my lower back. I instinctively clutched my belly."Baby, are you coming out now?" I whispered, gently rubbing my ver

LEXI'S POVThe months passed quickly. We won the cases we filed against Aunt Minda and Aunt Anna, and they were both sentenced to life imprisonment. As for Shiela, she has completely lost her sanity and is now confined to a mental institution to recover. A lot has changed since the chaos ended.I’m once again managing my father's company. Papa is now resting at home, having fully passed on the business to me. Chelsea returned to the U.S. with Grandma Mirasol to finish her studies there. Chase and I are temporarily staying at the Sandoval mansion while our own house is under construction. Their home is much closer to our workplaces, so we decided it would be more convenient to stay there for now.Chase is now running TAC, as Papa Carlo has retired. He just travels back and forth between the U.S. and the Philippines now, enjoying his free time.My belly is huge now—in fact, I'm due any moment. Chase no longer allows me to go to the office, so my secretary comes to the house to bring doc
I Married My Billionaire Ex 90
LEXI'S POVI looked away the moment I saw Shiela standing near us. Her hands were still in handcuffs, and two police officers were keeping close watch over her. If I wasn’t mistaken, she was about to be taken to a psychiatrist for evaluation.“Shiela, my child,” Papa said through tears as he approached my sister.“Child? Do you still consider me your child? You didn’t even tell me you had recovered. You made me believe you hadn’t yet,” Shiela said, crying.I felt Chase hold my hand. I looked at him, and he gave me a small, reassuring smile. I knew he was just trying to give me strength at that moment.“I did that for everyone’s sake, Shiela.”“For everyone’s sake or for your precious daughter Lexi’s sake? Well, I shouldn’t be surprised. She’s always been your favorite.”“That’s not true. You are both my children. In fact, I gave you more attention before because I didn’t want you to feel like you had to compete with your sister,” Papa explained gently.“Why does it feel like I owe you

LEXI’S POV"Gino!"We turned to look at Gino's sister as she arrived at the hospital. Chase had chosen to call her to inform her of what had happened. He believed their parents were abroad."Don’t be so dramatic. It’s just a scratch," Gino said, trying to calm his sister."Still! Tell me, which of my men shot you?" Charlene asked frantically."Enough, Charlene. I’m not the victim here. It’s Lexi."Charlene slowly turned to look at me. She couldn’t meet my eyes and kept fiddling with her fingers."Sorry. Shiela told me she would hand you over to Gino. I thought I was making the right decision," she said softly."No worries, Charlene. I know you were just thinking of your brother. But everything’s fine now," I said seriously.I really had no intention of dragging Gino’s sister into this any further. Yes, Shiela used one of her men, but everything was already too messy to involve Charlene. Besides, Chase had already told me that even before Shiela called him, Gino had already informed hi

THIRD POVLexi was about to reach for Gino’s hand to go with him when they both froze—Shiela’s cell phone suddenly rang. They simultaneously turned to look at the young woman as she fished the phone out of her bag. Lexi was suddenly filled with anxiety for a reason she couldn't quite explain.“Yes, Charlene?” Shiela answered the call.“You fool! Where are you right now? Have you got Lexi yet?” Charlene asked nervously.“Why? What’s wrong?” Shiela asked, confused.“My god, Shiela! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have let you use my people. I might get dragged into your family’s mess,” Charlene snapped.“Wait, wait—what are you talking about?”“Don’t you know yet? Your mother is already in police custody. She’s being charged with murder.”Shiela turned pale at the news. Her heartbeat quickened with fear, and her hands began to sweat.“A-are you sure about that?”"Shiela, it’s on national TV. The whole country knows what your mother did, and Chase’s mother is involved, too.
I Married My Billionaire Ex 87
THIRD POVShiela gave a bitter smile upon hearing the voice of the man who had hurt her repeatedly. The sweet, affectionate tone he used with her just days ago was now gone. It was all an act—to get information about her mother.“Relax. There’s no need to get mad, Chase. They’re safe for now,” she said emotionlessly.“Don’t you dare hurt them,” Chase said, panic in his voice.She smiled again and sighed deeply. “You’ve got some nerve to say that to me now. You lied to me and gave me false hope. All those lies—for what? To get information?”“And why would I get information from you? Do you even know what really happened with the fire in my condo back then?” Chase shot back.Shiela froze, still burning with rage. She took a deep breath as the man she had called earlier finally arrived. He was panting, clearly having run a long way to reach the location. She gave him a faint smile and turned her attention back to the person on the phone.“I’m sure you won’t report this to the police. Eve

THIRD POVChase’s office was thick with tension. His father and his sister Chelsea were there. Spread out on his table were the pieces of evidence he had gathered to strengthen the case he filed against his stepmother and her lover, Minda. His father examined them one by one, while he and Chelsea waited in silence for his reaction.“Papa, I’m sorry that this is how you had to find out everything,” he finally broke the silence.Chelsea stepped closer to him and held his hand tightly. He was immensely grateful to his sister; despite the pain of everything happening, she still chose to stand by what was right. Now, all he hoped was that their father would do the same.Carlo slowly set the papers down and let out a deep sigh. “I never thought my wife would go this far,” he said, clearly dismayed.The siblings exchanged glances. Their father was calm. He didn’t even look surprised—almost as if he already knew all of it.“Papa,” Chelsea called softly.“I’ve known for a long time that your m
