I Married My Billionaire Ex 26
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

LEXI'S POVAs Chase and I had agreed, I went back with him to his condo. I sent a message to Papa, telling him that I’d be temporarily leaving the house. Based on his reaction earlier, I knew he wouldn’t stop me from leaving. It was probably for the best, to bring some peace to the house for now.The entire ride was quiet. Chase didn’t bother me, likely knowing that I wasn’t okay after everything that had happened. Don’t get me wrong—I was pleased with Shiela’s reaction earlier, and I knew I’d shaken her world a bit. But I couldn’t bring myself to feel happy about Papa’s reaction. I should be used to him siding with Shiela by now, but it still hurt every time.I have also decided not to go to work today. I informed Savina about it, but when she started calling me, I turned off my phone. I wasn’t ready to share what happened, and I just wanted some peace and quietness. Chase had responsibilities at their company today, and I understood that. I planned to just stay in his condo and sort

THIRD POVShiela’s condition had stabilized, much to the relief of Ricky and Minda. Although their daughter was still unconscious, the doctor assured them she was out of danger. It was simply extreme stress that caused her to faint.“What are you going to do, Ricky?” Minda asked her husband seriously.“We can’t interfere or dictate to the children when it comes to matters like this,” Ricky replied.Minda looked at her husband in disbelief. “You’re just going to let our daughter suffer while Lexi gets to be happy? Are you really okay with seeing our daughter miserable?”“Minda, Shiela will only suffer more if we push through with the arrangement. It was obvious that Chase could not love her. She’ll just end up even more hurt,” Ricky said firmly.“If my daughter can’t be happy, then Lexi doesn’t deserve to be happy either,” Minda said angrily.“Do you even hear yourself, Minda? What do you want me to do? Separate the two of them? I already have enough problems at the company—don’t add t

LEXI'S POVI woke up to the sensation of a kiss on my forehead. When I opened my eyes, I saw Chase staring at me. He smiled, which made me sit up quickly. I didn’t realize I had fallen asleep.“How long have you been here?” I asked him.“I just got here,” he answered briefly.“Sorry, I fell asleep. Where is Chelsea?” I asked again.“She just stepped out for a moment.”I glanced back at Chase. He was still wearing his polo shirt, but his necktie was gone. His hair was messy, and his clothes were crumpled. His smile didn’t reach his eyes, and I couldn’t stop myself from asking him.“Is there something wrong?” I asked.“Are you hungry? Let’s eat,” he said, abruptly changing the topic.He was about to walk out of the room, but I quickly grabbed his hand. He stopped but didn’t turn to face me.“Grey, tell me,” I said with courage.He turned to me and knelt, so our faces were level because I was still sitting on the bed.“Let’s get married, Lexi Ann,” he said desperately.“What?” I asked, a

THIRD POVShiela had been discharged from the hospital and returned home, but she remained unusually quiet. Ricky was deeply concerned about his daughter’s behavior but couldn’t do much for now. Despite his reluctance, he left the house to go to his office, trusting his wife to stay and look after her daughter.Once Shiela was certain that her father had left, she quickly went to the kitchen where her mother was currently cooking.“Mom, what’s the news?” she asked urgently.“It’s not good, but don’t worry. I’m working on it. For now, just continue acting withdrawn and quiet whenever you’re around with your father. He needs to feel how much this is affecting you so he won’t approve of the wedding,” Minda explained at length.Brenna sighed and shook her head slightly. She couldn’t believe everything that had happened. But she was sure of one thing: Lexi was in love with James now. So, she was baffled as to how her half-sister and Chase had gotten back together. Something didn’t feel rig

LEXI'S POVI woke up early because, truthfully, I didn’t get much sleep last night. Chelsea, who shared the bed with me, was still sound asleep, while Chase slept on the floor. Audrey insisted on staying over at the condo out of concern for me, so the three of us came home together last night.I got up quietly to avoid waking the siblings. I decided to cook breakfast for the three of us since Chase and I both had work for the day. I had also made up my mind to return to the office because staying in the condo might drive me crazy. Chelsea had plans of her own today, so it was better for the three of us to eat breakfast together before heading off to our respective activities.I was used to cooking breakfast—I had been doing it for years. Whenever I knew Papa would have breakfast at home, I always volunteered to cook. He didn’t know, but it made me happy to see him enjoying the meals I prepared for him.Chase had plenty of food stocked in his condo. He rarely stayed there since he usua

LEXI'S POV"Thank you for dropping me off, Grey," I said with a smile as his car stopped in front of the building where I work.He smiled back at me. "Are you sure you’re ready to go back to work?" he asked."Of course. I can’t afford to stop working—I don’t want to run out of money, especially now that I can’t rely on Papa," I said jokingly.That was true. I didn’t want to stop working because I’d never wanted to depend on Papa for my financial needs, even before. Especially now, with all the problems at home."I could support you, you know. You don’t need to work," he said, smiling."Crazy. You’re not obligated to do that. Anyway, I’ll see you later. Bye."I was about to get out of the car when he suddenly grabbed my hand. I turned to him, puzzled. I didn’t think I’d forgotten anything."I love you, Lex," he said seriously.I became even more confused. "Grey, you don’t have to say that. No one’s watching us," I replied."I know. But we need to practice—to get used to it," he explain

THIRD POVThe video of Chase proposing to Lexi quickly went viral. Shiela saw it too, and she screamed at the top of her lungs, overwhelmed with rage. Her mother, Minda, immediately rushed to her and was equally furious when she saw the video."I can’t take this, Mama. Do something about this!" Shiela shouted angrily.Her mother promised her that the couple would be separated, but after watching the video, she realized their plan had become much more difficult. Chase had publicly announced his desire to marry Lexi to the entire country. She couldn’t accept this. She should have been the woman Chase proposed to, the one he knelt before. That proposal she had dreamed of for years was instead given to her mortal enemy."I can’t lose like this. She’s just Papa’s illegitimate child! She doesn’t deserve this. I should be the one, Mama. Only me!" she yelled hysterically.Her mother tried to calm her down, embracing her while stroking her hair."There’s still a way, my dear. That woman will n

SHIELA'S POV"Shiela, that's enough. You're drunk," Jenny said seriously, trying to stop me from drinking anymore.I shook my head slowly. Right now, alcohol is the only ally I had. I had no idea how my life had come to this. I thought everything would finally fall into place once my half-sister was out of my life, but it turned out to be the opposite. My father became even more distant, and my mother seemed to care for nothing but the company.And Chase? He felt even more out of reach. If there had been a wall between us before, now it feels like he had built an entirely different world—one I had no place in. The chances of him noticing me had become even more impossible."I don't know if you're celebrating or mourning," Jenny muttered, shaking her head.I let out a bitter smile. "If you think about it, I should be happy that Lexi is gone. I thought I would finally get everything I wanted. But I was wrong. My life has only become more miserable, Jenny.""Well, it's never that simple,

THIRD POV"Chase, I'm sorry that Grandma and I just got back now," Chelsea said, crying as she hugged her brother tightly.It took them a while to return home because Chelsea had an upcoming exam, so she had to take it before coming home. Their grandmother came with her since she, too, was deeply affected by Lexi’s sudden passing."Get some rest first; you must be tired from the trip," Anna told the grandmother and granddaughter.Mirasol immediately shook her head. "I want to visit my granddaughter, Lexi. Chase, come with us to see her," she said authoritatively.Chase gave a silent nod, showing no emotion. Carlo let out a sigh as he observed his son's behavior since Lexi’s passing. Chase showed no emotions and remained quiet most of the time. Although he hadn't neglected TAC, the drastic change in him was noticeable. He practically lived in his office and had only come home to the mansion now because his sister had arrived."I'm worried about him, Mama. He makes it seem like he's oka

THIRD POV“Where is Chase?” Carlo asked the moment he arrived in the dining area of their mansion. He found Anna already seated, waiting for him.“I called him, and he said he would be working overtime at the office,” his wife replied seriously.Carlo let out a deep sigh. He no longer knew what to do with his only son. Ever since his wife passed away, Chase had become distant, shutting everyone out. He was always at the office, and Carlo rarely saw him anymore. At first, he gave his son space, allowing him time to grieve, but now he was beginning to worry about his behavior.“Just give him some time, Carlo,” Anna said as she began serving herself some food.“Until when? He can’t be like this forever,” he said, shaking his head.“He loved Lexi dearly, but he would eventually move on. He’s still young, so he will surely find someone else to love. If only Lexi wasn’t Shiela’s sister, I would have suggested once again that we arrange for them to be together,” Anna added.Carlo turned to h

THIRD POVDinner was quiet, almost eerily so. Minda and her daughter, Shiela, sat at the dining table, sharing a meal for the first time since that morning. But the silence between them was heavy, filled with unsaid words and lingering tension."At least Chase chose to stay out of the company’s affairs," Minda finally broke the silence, her voice carrying a sense of relief.Shiela scoffed, her tone laced with sarcasm. "You don’t have to worry anymore. You’re still the CEO, after all."Minda frowned. "Shiela, instead of standing with me, why does it feel like you’re turning against me? What exactly do you want?"Shiela sighed, shaking her head. "Honestly? I don’t even know anymore. The company? Chase? Papa? I have no idea, Mama. Lexi may be gone, but it feels like she’s still haunting me."Minda froze, her fork slipping slightly from her fingers. Her eyes widened as she turned to her daughter. "She’s haunting you too?" she asked in disbelief."I mean, she’s not truly gone because I sti

THIRD POVMinda was left speechless as her daughter, Shiela, walked away without another word. Frustration boiled inside her, pushing her to seek out her husband, who remained unable to speak. Finding him awake, she wasted no time."Can you just forget about your illegitimate child? Shiela is the one beside you now, and she should be your priority," she said coldly, her voice laced with anger.Ricky simply stared at her. What else could she expect? He had lost his ability to speak. Ever since his heart attack, she had stopped sharing a room with him, choosing instead to sleep in the guest room. She had only given Shiela a convenient excuse, and her daughter had accepted it without question. Rarely did she visit him anymore, and now, after so long, she finally stood before him again."You have already lost one child, Ricky. Don’t let Shiela slip away from you too."With that, she turned on her heel and walked out. A deep breath escaped her lips as she gripped the doorknob tightly. If n

FLASHBACKChase had just finished his meeting and was making his way back to his office when he noticed his mother, Anna, hastily walking through the hallway. She seemed anxious, looking around as if making sure no one was following her. His instincts kicked in, and without a second thought, he decided to trail her discreetly. To his surprise, she headed straight for the rooftop of the building."Hello. I need you to do something for me right now," he heard her say to someone over the phone.A few seconds of silence followed before Anna spoke again."Sneak into Chase's condo. Open the gas tank so that when Lexi gets home, it will explode on impact. That woman has to disappear—she’s a hindrance to all our plans. Make sure it looks like an accident. Do you understand?"Chase felt his blood run cold. He couldn’t listen any further. Without hesitation, he turned and rushed back to his office, locking the door behind him. With trembling hands, he dialed his wife's number."Lex, where are y

THIRD PERSON'S POV"Mama, have you heard the news? The building where Lexi and Chase live is on fire right now."A secret smile played on Minda’s lips as she listened to her daughter. She had long wished to remove her husband’s child from his past relationship. Now, she had finally executed her plan, ensuring that Lexi’s death would once again appear as an unfortunate accident."I don’t know how to feel, Mama. They say Lexi is trapped inside the building."Minda glanced at her daughter, slightly taken aback by the concern evident in her voice. That was not the reaction she had expected."Don't tell me you're worried about that woman?" she asked in disbelief."Mama, I despise her, but I’m thinking about Papa. As much as I hate to admit it, I know he’ll be devastated if Lexi is gone," Shiela answered somberly.She took a deep breath and approached her daughter, gently stroking her hair. "Hija, you need to think about yourself right now. That woman has been stealing everything that shoul

LEXI'S POV"Papa, your wish has finally come true. I am now the CEO of your company," I said with a smile, holding my father’s hand.He had been discharged from the hospital and was now recovering at home. I hired a private nurse to care for him and assigned Linda to watch over him as well. Secretly, I installed a CCTV camera in his room, so I could monitor him even when I wasn’t there. At first, Aunt Minda objected, but the doctor himself insisted that my father needed a nurse.Papa smiled at me, and even though he still couldn't speak, I knew he was happy with my news. I longed for the day he could talk again—I knew he had so much he wanted to tell me.Through the camera I had installed, I saw how my stepmother yelled at him, blaming him for why I was now the CEO. She even pointed a finger at him in anger, and it nearly shattered my heart. Thankfully, she didn’t physically hurt him—because if she had, I might not have been able to hold myself back. Despite everything, I knew there w

THIRD POVAfter the meeting, Minda and Shiela remained in the conference room. Both of them seethed with anger at the unexpected turn of events. Minda reread the documents confirming that Lexi was now the major shareholder of Castillon Corporation. No matter how many times she went through them, the contents remained legal and undeniable."You told me she wouldn’t be able to take Chase away from me, and I believed you. And now, Papa’s company belongs to her," Shiela stated, her voice devoid of emotion."I don’t know how this slipped past me. I worked so hard to convince the investors to sell me their shares," Minda muttered in frustration."Can’t you see it, Mama? My father entrusted the company to her on purpose," Shiela said, her voice trembling with unshed tears.Minda clenched her fists tightly. Perhaps her husband had long known about her affair and had taken steps to ensure this outcome before confronting her. She never thought she would be outmaneuvered like this."This is unac
