Love After Divorce: My Ex Wife Is A Billionaire 182
FLORAL’S POVAs soon as we got home, I knew I had to act fast. The dinner had been too strange, and I couldn't ignore the aging feeling in my chest. Whoever that man was, he wasn't Xander. But I couldn't let him find out yet. I had to be very discreet and very clever, else my cover would be blown, just like his. I glared at him as we stepped through the door. He looked relieved, like he was glad to be back. Mrs. Devon, our housekeeper, was waiting in the hallway, a smile on her face. "How was dinner?" She asked, her eyes twinkling with excitement. "Did you two have fun?" The Impostor immediately excused himself. "I'm tired," he said quickly, avoiding Mrs. Devon’s gaze. "Long day. I'll head up to bed." He didn't even wait for her to respond, just turned and walked towards the stairs. I watched him go, my suspicions deepening. Mrs. Devon raised an eyebrow, turning to me. "He seemed... different to just, didn’t he? What's going on with him?" She asked. I forced a smile, not wantin

MATT’S POVI closed the door quietly behind me, my eyes scanning the dimly lit hallway. Something wasn't right. I could feel it,like an inch under my skin. I stepped out of the room and my footsteps were light on the carpeted floor. As I moved further down the hall, I saw a shadow slipping around the corner. My heart jumped but I immediately willed myself to be calm. Not calming down was going to be the bane of this mission. It was only going to end up making things worse and I didn't want that at all. I paused for a moment and my heart beat faster even as I tried to calm myself down and not do anything that would give myself out right now. Who could it be at this hour? My first thought was Floral, but what would she be doing sneaking around? I tried to answer the question but I couldn't think of anything. She didn't know anything about the real me so there was no reason for her to be here else she had other agendas I didn't know about. But she wasn't the type to do such a thing. Sh

MATT’S POV***I couldn't stop thinking about Floral’s words last night. They kept gnawing at me no matter how hard I tried to push them away. It seemed just impossible but I couldn't handle the prospect of entertaining those thoughts. They were all too much for me. She wanted to take over the Devon family company? That didn't sit right with me. I wondered if she was really Xander’s sister at all or if this whole thing was mixed up. What if something had happened along the way? What if there was something I was missing, vital information. I shook my head, not liking where this whole thing was going.Something about her didn't add up. But as much as I was curious, I reminded myself that it wasn't my business. The way she had sounded so conniving, so sure of what she was doing, told me that she had been in the game for a long time. Did Xander know what kind of person his sister was? Her innocent exterior was surely going to mislead a lot of.people into thinking that she was some sort of

SASHA’S POV***It was strange how quickly life in prison became normal. You'd think it would always feel foreign, cold, and hard, but it doesn't. I guessed that's what we humans do in a new environment, especially one that wasn't as welcoming as the prison. We adapt, we improvise and we overcome. When I first came in, I couldn't stop thinking about how I was going to escape. Many plans had been in my head the whole time even though I knew the chances of that happening was one in a billion. I was in a maximum security penitentiary and the place swarmed with guards who were constantly watching, excluding the walls that were too high. It wasn't until after a couple of weeks that I finally began to accept what was of me. I stopped noticing the green walks, the heavy iron doors, the guards watching you like hawks. You adjust. You adapt. I've adapted. At first, I hated it. I fought it. Cried myself to sleep every night. But over time, something changed. Now, I've even found my place here.

TRISTAN’S POV***I leaned back in the worn leather chair, filling the cold breeze from the open window. The view from my hidden home was just peaceful and that was just the way that I liked it. It was even better because no one knew I was here, not even authorities and not even Xander's family. Everything had worked out perfectly, even better than I expected. But I was the wanted man, that was for sure but nobody knew that I had a hand in the death of the guard who had stopped me while escaping that night. Everyone thought it was one of the prisoners who was already in court facing felony charges. I did not believe it when the assassin had told me that there would be people who wouldn't mind going to prison as long as they were getting paid for it. All I needed was time for all these to be over and then I would come out and take care of everything I had always wanted to do. Not even my own father knew that I was here. I couldn't risk giving out my whereabouts to anybody because they

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,

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

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

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
