XANDER’S POVI walked out of the bar, my heart pounding in my chest. The night was dark, and the streets were almost empty. I pulled out my phone and dialed Drew's number. Drew was the owner of the security agency I used whenever I needed security. He picked up immediately."Drew, it's Xander," I said, my voice urgent."Xander, what's up?" Drew replied, sounding alert."I need ten of your best men around Adeline's house 24 hours a day, every day, without a break. She's in danger and needs protection. No one should know they're guarding her house," I explained quickly."Got it, Xander. Noted. I'll get on it right away," he assured me."Thanks, Drew," I said, ending the call. I felt a bit of relief knowing she would be protected.But my mind was still racing. How could Matt want Adeline dead? He had introduced himself as her boyfriend the first time I met him. Now he wanted to kill her? There was so much I needed to know.From the conversation at the bar, I had gathered enough informa

XANDER’S POVThe next morning, I got up early and drove straight to the police station. I walked in and approached the front desk, where a tired-looking officer was sitting."I need to speak to someone in charge, it's urgent," I said, trying to keep my voice steady.The officer looked up at me, slightly annoyed. "What's this about?" he asked."It's about a major drug deal going down tonight. I have information, but it needs to be kept confidential. I can't risk this getting out," I explained.He looked at me skeptically but then nodded. "Wait here," he said, and picked up the phone to make a call. A few minutes later, a stern-looking detective walked over."I'm Detective Harris. What do you have for me?" he asked, his eyes piercing as he studied me.I took a deep breath and explained everything I had overheard at the warehouse. I told him about the time and place of the drug delivery, and how Matt was planning to oversee the transaction himself."This is serious information," Harris

ADELINE’S POVI had been calling Xander's number, but it kept going to voicemail.I needed to see him and understand what was happening. Why was not he picking up? I kept asking myself and I felt desperate to hear from him. I left my room and walked to the sitting room. Drew, the head security guy, was standing there. He was a tall man with a stern face, always looking serious about his job."Drew," I called out, my voice shaky. "Have you seen Xander? Do you know where he is?"He looked at me with calm eyes. "Xander will be here soon, Miss Adeline. He asked me to stay here and make sure you're safe."I nodded, feeling a bit more at ease but still anxious. "Okay, thank you."I sat down on the couch, my mind racing. I couldn't believe that Xander had actually helped save me and sent security to guard me without even telling me. It was both comforting and confusing. I wanted to know why he did it, what made him take such measures to ensure my safety and how he knew I would be attacked.

***TRISTAN’S POV***I watched the news angrily. The screen showed Matt being led away in handcuffs.The headline said he was a drug dealer. I could not believe it. I picked up my glass of wine and threw it at the wall. It shattered, and red wine splattered everywhere.One of my men had told me it was Xander. Xander had caused them to arrest Matt. Xander had exposed Matt’s secret as a drug lord. I was furious.Matt was supposed to kill Adeline without me getting involved, but now he was in jail. Xander had messed up everything.Adeline was still alive, and Matt was locked up.I stormed out of my house and got into my Lamborghini. The engine roared as I sped through the streets. My mind was filled with rage.I needed to confront Adeline. She needed to know her time was up. Xander needed to know he had made a big mistake.When I arrived at Adeline’s place, I banged on the door. She opened it and looked surprised."Tristan, what are you doing here?" she asked, her voice shaking.I glared

XANDER’S POV***I woke up that morning with a clear goal in my mind; it was time to expose Sasha and get her arrested.I had spent too many nights lying awake, haunted by the lies and manipulations. Today, I was determined to make things right.I rolled out of bed and headed straight for the bathroom. I splashed cold water on my face, trying to wash away the lingering fatigue.Staring at my reflection in the mirror, I could see the determination in my eyes. I had to do this for Adeline. She didn’t deserve any of this.I quickly got dressed, choosing a dark blue suit. I wanted to look professional and serious. After slipping on my black leather shoes, I grabbed the small, sleek pen recording device from my nightstand. This device held the key to proving Adeline's innocence.I drove to the police station, my mind was racing. I replayed the conversation between Adeline and Sasha over and over in my head. It was clear evidence that Adeline had not tried to kill Sasha and that Sasha had be

SASHA’S POV***I was taken to a small room and told to sit down. One of the officers left, while the other stayed with me.I sat there quietly my hands trembling. The cold metal bench felt hard and uncomfortable.I kept looking around, trying to figure out why I was here. My heart pounded, and I could feel sweat on my forehead.I was scared, really scared. Why was I arrested? What was going on?People in uniforms walked past, busy with their own work. None of them looked at me. I felt alone and confused.The clock on the wall ticked loudly. Every second felt like an hour. I tried to remember everything that had happened, but my mind was a blur.After what felt like forever, an officer came out of a room and looked at me. He was tall with a stern face. He motioned for another officer to bring me into the interrogation room.My legs felt weak as I stood up, but I forced myself to walk. The officer led me down a long, narrow hallway. The walls were gray, and the lights flickered slightly

***XANDER’S POV***I woke up to the shrill sound of my phone. Groaning, I reached for it and squinted at the screen.I had twenty missed calls from my mom. My heart flipped, thinking something was terribly wrong. I quickly called her back. She picked up almost immediately.“Xander!” she scolded. “Why haven’t you been answering my calls?”“Mom, are you alright?” I asked, worried.“Yes, I’m fine,” she replied, but then her voice dropped.“It’s Sasha. She’s been arrested.”“Oh,” I said, feeling relieved she was fine. “I was expecting that.”“What do you mean?” she demanded, her voice rising. “Are you saying you knew this would happen?”“Sasha deserves it,” I said firmly. “She deserved to rot in jail for her lies and for almost getting Adeline killed.”“How can you say that?” Mom’s voice was full of frustration. “So all this is for Adeline?You still trust anything that comes out of her mouth?”“Yes, I do,” I said, my voice steady. “And Sasha is the real villain here.”“How did you alread

SASHA’S POVI sat in the car meekly like a mouse as the driver drove Mrs. Devon and me from the police station to the house.My heart was still beating fast. The recording was true. It had my voice and Adeline's voice. I had no idea that shrewd pig Adeline recorded us and now I was in deep shit if they’re able to prove it.Mrs. Devon was fuming. Her face was red with anger, and she kept muttering under her breath. "That girl is the cause of everything," she said, her voice sharp and filled with rage. "I have to deal with Adeline for causing all this trouble."I felt a small sense of relief at how angry she was at Adeline and not me. Mrs. Devon still thought I was innocent. She didn’t suspect me. She believed the recording was fake.She kept speaking angrily. "Even Xander is going against me because of Adeline," she spat out. "I can no longer tolerate that woman. She’s a wreck, causing so much havoc. How can she do this while under house arrest?"I nodded silently, trying to keep my

ADELINE’S POV***I woke up slowly, feeling so groggy and disoriented. My body was so heavy and there was a dull pain in my side. I did not know why but the pain had my head hammering. I blinked against the bright light in the room and that was when I realised that I was not alone. A lot of questions ran through my mind as I wondered what had happened and why I was here. Someone was sitting next to me and there seemed to be a shocked look on their face when our eyes met. "Adeline?" The familiar voice came through. It was soft, like silk. I turned my head and sock Xander sitting right by my side. I felt an instant wave of relief and my heart swelled. I was so scared before this happened, so scared that something bad had happened to him but seeing him right here with me did a very good job with pushing off the pain for a little while. He was here with me, alive and okay. I blinked back the tears that were already starting to form. And that was the moment everything slowly started to c

FLORAL.I could barely breathe as I gripped the steering wheel, my knuckles were already white. I knew what Tristan was planning and I couldn't let it happen because it opposed everything that we worked for. Yes, I knew he wanted to take revenge on those who put him in prison but if he was going to do that, he should go face Adeline's old man, not Adeline. She was innocent and did nothing to him. I was not going to let him hurt her, not after I'd met her. Of course she was going to be a problem if I wanted to get to Xander but she was innocent and she was a good woman. I had to stop Tristan no matter what it was going to take. The streets blurred past me as I sped down the road. My heart was pounding so loud in my ears that I drowned out everything else. Tristan couldn't kill Adeline. Not like this. Not over some twisted sense of revenge. I didn't know how I ended up in this mess. It wasn't supposed to be my fight. But here I was driving, driving madly towards the one person who cou

ADELINE'S POV***My hands wouldn’t stop shaking as I dialed my grandfather's number. I could barely think straight now as my thoughts were all over the place. It felt like my mind was running a hundred miles per hour but I wasn't going anywhere. What was I going to do now that it was clear Xander was in danger. I didn't even know where I was going to start from. How the hell was I going to find him? And it was clear from the foregoing that Matt had had the one behind this whole thing. He had abducted Xander and his phone was enough proof for that. He had also put on a mask to make me think that was Xander. That son of a bitch really did all this only to die a very disgraceful death. That was exactly what he deserved. But what if he'd killed Xander? The thought brought back the fear that was already building up. I needed to do something, and I hoped my grandfather would be able to step in with his connections. If it didn't work then I had no idea what else would. All I could think ab

FLORAL’S POV***I didn't know Adeline was in the house when I stepped out of my room. The moment I saw her standing there, my heart dropped. I should have been more careful. What was I thinking, walking out like that? But it was too late-- she had already seen me so there was no need to do anything suspicious now. But maybe there was still time, I thought to myself, glancing at her before I tried to duck back into the shadows. However, Xander’s mother, ever the gracious host, was quick to introduce me once she noticed I was behind her. "Adeline, this is my daughter, Floral," she said, gesturing to me with a proud smile. "Floral doesn't come around often." Adeline turned to me, scanning my face for a second and I held my breath. This was very bad because if she ever got to remember who I was, that was if she didn't know already, I was doomed. My palms were starting to sweat as I braced myself for her reaction. Would she recognise me? Would she say something? But instead, she smiled

ADELINE’S POV***I couldn't stop thinking about Xander. He hadn't come back since the day he told me he was going to stay at his mom’s house and I was disturbed because it could be the place where all his problems had started. Him acting weird must have been from there. He had been complaining about his sister before he came back and then everything had changed. He rarely talked to me and now he no longer complained about her. A lot of things were going on that I should be told about. But nobody was saying anything and it worried me so much. I wished someone could just let me know what was happening. But Xander was the only person I could talk to. He was the only one who knew what his problem was. It wasn't like him to just disappear like this, especially now that there was nothing bothering him, well, nothing that I knew of. He should have checked in lately but I'd heard nothing. My heart felt heavy as I paced around the living room. If I hadn't called him yesterday to know if he

FLORAL’S POV***I watched from a distance as Matt got out of his car and entered the pub. My heart raced but I had to keep my composure because this was going to work. It was either this night or never. This was the moment I'd been waiting for. I needed to find out who he really was. I had suspected for a while that something was off about him, and now I was going to prove it. I quickly made my way to his car, careful not to draw attention. The street was quiet, and only the occasional sound of passing cars in the distance was the only thing I heard. I approached his car and glanced around to make sure no one was watching. Then, I reached into my bag and pulled out the small hidden camera I had planted earlier. I couldn't risk leaving it there for too long, just in case he checked his car for anything suspicious. My hands shook slightly as I retrieved the camera, but I was careful to keep my movements steady. Once I had it, I slipped it back in my bag and quickly walked away, blend

XANDER’S POV***I tried to move but my body would not cooperate because every inch of me was hurting and it was starting to make me feel very dizzy. I was very worried because I did not want to pass out here because nobody would see me if I needed medical attention so I had to fight off every form of hazy feeling until I was sure that I was ok. My arms, my legs, my ribs- they were all on fire. I could not remember the last time I had eaten because my stomach was already growling and I was too weak to care. But do you think that terrified me the most was the fact that the room was very dark and there was nobody around. I could only help but picture that I had been left alone in some kind of Warehouse to die. My heart pounded very fast when I thought of that and as much as I told myself that his Men could be outside, there was still a possibility that they had left me alone here to die. I didn't even know if it was day or night because time had lost its meaning. I had tried to escape

TRISTAN’S POV***The weight of everything that had happened finally stayed to lift lift from shoulders. Sasha was dead. The hit man had done his job perfectly as there was no trace or evidence of who had done it. I felt so relieved because with her gone, there was no one left to testify against me, no one who could point fingers if things went wrong. That was the hardest mission so I guessed the rest would be very easy from here onwards. Now, I just had to take care of Adeline and Xander, before I could disappear. My time was coming, and I couldn't wait for it. I smiled to myself as I thought of my plan. Once they are gone, I'd be free to leave this place. But in the meantime I had to control everything from the shadows. I was happy that I had the capable hands. Sometimes I wished that this was the last mission, but then I was reminded that it was time to put my head down and do the rest. There was no promise of a better future if the rest were still alive. Thankfully, I had it all
Love After Divorce: My Ex Wife Is A Billionaire 187
SASHA’S POV***I sat on the cold, hard bed in my cell, staring at the ceiling. It had been a long day, just like every other day in this place. The routine, the noise and the walls closing in on me felt unbearable but that morning, something changed. My mother called. I was surprised when the guard came to inform me that I had a call. I thought they had abandoned me, that she had left me here to rot and die just like my father had abandoned us. And I wouldn't blame her for what happened because she was just as miserable as I was. The guard escorted me out of myself and walked me to the phone stand. My heart was drumming when I picked it up. Has something bad happened? Or was she going to just tell me that the divorce had been finalised? If it was the latter, I didn't want to hear anything about it. Since my father had decided to give up on me, I didn't want anything to do with him again. I listened in on the phone and her voice came through. "Sasha, honey." Her voice was so sweet,
