Love After Divorce: My Ex Wife Is A Billionaire 142
ADELINE’S POV It had been really thoughtful of him to write me a very sweet note before leaving and I couldn't stop the way my cheeks kept reddening anytime I picked up the letter and read it again before letting myself collapse back on the bed. I felt tired because I'd not gotten enough sleep last night. I felt like doing nothing today even though I had a lot on my plate and there was no resting until I'd been able to finish every single task, till the very last. I set an alarm for thirty minutes and drifted off to another short nap. I felt terrible when I woke up 2 hours later and then my mind went back to my boyfriend again. "What could have happened?" I whispered to myself. Something must have been serious enough for his mother to call him back to Manhattan so suddenly, especially after he just arrived in Washington. I hoped that everything would be alright, but the uncertainty was what scared me the most. I didn't know what to expect unless I called him later on and asked h

SASHA’S POVI was sitting on the cold, hard bench in the cell, staring at the cracked wall in front of her. I’ve come to accept my life now since it was clear that there was nothing I could do that would get me out. It was something I’ve been forced to accept over time because I had been frantic at first. I never thought that this was ever going to happen but it was and there was nothing I could do. The light that was shining overhead flickered now and then, giving the room eerie shadows every now and then. The room was a small, dingy space. The smell of sweat, mold, and despair was very thick in the air and it constantly reminded me where I was and most importantly, how far I had. I clenched my fists tightly and my nails dug into my palms, but the pain didn't bother me at all. I was so consumed by anger and being frustrated that my mind raced with thoughts of revenge and how I was going to make Adeline pay for everything she had done to me but first I had to figure out a way to

ADELINE'S POVThe warm scent of freshly baked bread wafted into my nose as I sat in the room unpacking. It was a scent that I hadn't smelled in a long time, not since I left for Manhattan. The Familiar warmth of the place was just so comforting. Likewise kind of blanket and for a moment, I forgot about everything else; the worry, the disappointment of Xander's sudden departure, and the tension I knew was waiting for me upstairs. My thoughts were interrupted when a voice floated down the hallway. "Adeline, are you in your room." It was my grandmother. Her voice was followed by the sound of her quick footsteps. "Yeah." I chirped excitedly. When I entered my room it was just as I remembered it. It was bright and airy with soft pastel color and the bed which was nearly made followed by my favorite quilt which was folded at the foot. I set my suitcase down the bed and took a deep breath, trying to calm my thoughts. I knew what was coming for me whenever I would go to see my grandfather

MRS. DEVON'S POVI sat in the quiet of my living room, thinking about how I was going to tell Xander about what was in my mind. The room was so quiet that the only thing I could hear at that moment was the thinking sound of the clock and my loud thoughts that kept coming back to me every now and then even though I was trying so hard to keep them away. My hands rested in my lap and my fingers were entwined tightly as I continued to think again and again. This was a habit I had when I was nervous and considering the gravity of the situation, I knew that I was going to be clasping my hands for a very long time. Even the soft breeze that occasionally came into the room was not enough to soothe the anxiety and fear that was bubbling up and down inside me. This was a lot worse than I thought and I knew it was going to take a lot of time before getting rid of these thoughts. How the hell was I going to tell Xander? I had been wrestling without question for hours ever since Floral had com

XANDER'S POVI was driving through Manhattan, worried as hell because my mind kept racing with a mix of emotions. I wondered why she didn't tell me anything about what was going on. Why would she keep the information from me as if it was for my own good. I didn't want that. I wanted to call our family doctor, or the neighbours but I remembered how she had told me not to worry as the problem wasn't her. She wasn't sick and nothing had happened to her. I was forced to think, to wonder what else it could be. What would be so serious to have me racing madly through the streets of Manhattan this way. What worried me the most was the sad tone in her voice as she told me everything. I was forced to find out what it was. She had sounded so urgent when she first called and now as I navigated the streets back home, I couldn't help the knot of worry that kept tightening in my chest every now and then. The city was bustling as always, and people hurried along the sidewalks as cars honked wh

XANDER'S POVI left the house in a daze because my head was spinning with everything I had just heard. I could not believe what my mother had just told me and what shocked me the most was that she had kept all these away from me ever since I was small and I was pretty sure that if Flora had never showed up she was never prepared to tell me about it. I could not just believe it. The new girl has been so eager to introduce herself as my sister but I could not wrap my mind around it. Something told me that this was wrong, that we were missing something and I had to find out what it was as soon as possible. But I was still trying to process the information that we had just gotten and it was surely going to take me some time before I would find out whatever it was she wasn't saying. But if anything, she looked so genuine and didn't seem to have anything she was trying to hide from us. I wondered why I felt this way, but then reminded myself that she had just arrived and I was only being

FLORAL’S POVIf there was anything that took me by surprise, it was the fact that Mrs. Devon had been a lot kinder than I ever expected. She had even taken everything upon herself and blamed herself for what happened. The guilt practically radiated off her and it was almost too easy to use that to my advantage but that wasn't going to happen, not yet. My time was surely going to come and doing anything that would seem off right now would only end up raising eyebrows and that wasn't going to happen. I had to make everybody fall in line. She treated me like a lost child and she was desperate to make up for it, and I could tell she would do anything to keep me around, especially since I didn't act like I was angry towards her and told her that I detailed how she must have felt which was why she had done it. She was only trying to make up for the years that she'd abandoned me. That was perfect. It was exactly what I needed to make sure I could control her and bend her to my will. I coul

MATT'S POVI was sitting on the cold, hard bench in my prison cell, staring at the gray walls that had become my world. Sometimes I wondered how I'd allowed myself to come here but it wasn't totally my fault. Everything that happened happened too fast and I didn't see any of it coming. But if there was one thing that I believed in, it was the fact that I would be out of here but I didn't know when. I just needed to get the right connections. That was all I wanted, and then once that was achieved, I would be able to get out of here. I had a lot of plans, but I just needed the night people, people who had the same fervor like me to get me outta here. The place reeked of sweat and pure despair. The air was thick with the stench of rotten food and unwashed bodies. It was unfit for any human life and that was one of the reasons I wanted to get out of here, but that reason was nothing compared to the main one. Revenge. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard someone yell from a cell no
