ADELINE’S POVThe music from the party pounded behind me as I walked away from Tristan. He was calling me but I didn't answer.“Adeline, wait!" He said but I refused to turn around. I kept walking, my heels clicking against the marble floor. I hated him. Everything about him disgusted me. The memories of that day three years ago played in my mind like a bad movie.It was Tristan’s birthday. We had just started dating a week ago, after two years of me refusing him. I used to think he was just another rich, spoiled boy like his friends Dave and Chris. But things changed after I saw a cool side of him.We were on a yacht, Tristan’s yacht, surrounded by the blue sea. I stood with the other girls, Dave’s girlfriend, Lily, and Chris’s girlfriend, Sophie. We were getting ready for the party that would start in two hours.“Adeline, you and Tristan are perfect for each other,” Sophie said, brushing her long, blonde hair. “Your children will be so beautiful and wealthy.”I blushed and smiled s

MATT’S POV“What the fuck?” I cursed as I watched the video over and over again. I had just come out of the office and walked to my car when I looked up at the billboard directly in front of me. I stood there, staring at the giant billboard. The city lights glared, but nothing shone brighter than Adeline’s smile.She was next to Xander. They looked perfect together. Too perfect.She was wearing a sleek, red dress that hugged her curves. Her hair flowed in waves, catching the light just right. She looked like a goddess. Xander, in a sharp black suit, had his arm around her waist. They seemed like they were made for each other.I couldn’t breathe. My chest tightened with anger. My fists clenched. I wanted to punch something.The next scene showed Adeline laughing. Xander whispered something in her ear. She leaned into him, her eyes sparkling. I had never seen her look so happy. Not with me.Then they kissed. It wasn’t a small, gentle kiss. It was deep, passionate. Their chemistry was

ADELINE’S POVI arrived home exhausted after a long day at the office. The sun was setting when I stepped through the front door. My shoulders drooped. I was so tired all I wanted was to relax and sleep.First things first, I kicked off my uncomfortable shoes letting them tumble to the floor. My feet were sore, and the cool tiles underfoot provided a soothing sensation. My stomach growled and I remembered that I hadn't eaten since lunch.I trudged into the bathroom, the soft light flickering on as I entered. With a flick of the switch, the room was bathed in a warm, inviting glow. The mirror reflected a tired face staring back at me, lines of fatigue etched around my eyes and mouth. I splashed cool water on my face, the refreshing sensation waking me up a little.Skincare was next on the agenda. I went through the familiar routine: cleansing, toning, moisturizing. Finally, I decided to treat myself to a face mask, the creamy texture soothing as I smoothed it over my skin.Just as I

ADELINE’S POV"Adeline!" Clarissa called, opening the door and dancing into the house. She twirled, holding a bottle of wine high above her head. Her eyes sparkled with excitement.I looked up from the couch, tears streaming down my face. "Have you seen the video I sent? It’s insane! The stats are through the roof. You and Xander are viral everywhere! The company's stocks are rising at the speed of light. This was the best decision ever!" she screamed, trying to lift the mood.I forced a smile but couldn't hide my sadness.She stopped mid-twirl when she saw me and her smile faded. She walked over, her steps cautious now. She sat down beside me and placed the wine bottle on the coffee table."Why are you crying?" she asked softly, her hand on my shoulder.I shook my head. "It's nothing," I said, my voice breaking.She didn’t buy it. "Adeline, tell me what's wrong. I can see you're upset."I took a deep breath, trying to steady my emotions. "I'm so confused, Clarissa. I don't know what

SASHA’S POVI sat at the dining table, munching on my food, watching Adeline and Xander’s campaign video and I couldn't stop laughing. The video was everywhere, and it looked great. Adeline and Xander smiled, posed, and looked perfect together. It made me sick to my stomach."Are you okay?" my mom asked, staring at me like I had lost my mind."I'm fine," I replied, taking another bite of my food.My mom looked very worried. She knew how hard I had been trying to get back with Xander. She knew how much it hurt when he broke up with me. Seeing me laugh at their video was confusing her."Really, Sasha? You're okay with this?" she asked, still looking at me with concern."Yes, Mom. I'm fine," I said, smiling at her. But inside, I was fuming. I had a plan, and no one knew about it yet. I was sure it would ruin Adeline for good. She had no idea what was coming.My mom followed me around the house, still asking questions. "Did you finally give up on being Xander’s girlfriend or wife?" she

XANDER’S POThe sun was setting, casting a warm, golden glow over the beach. I was sitting by the water, feeling the cool breeze on my face. The waves crashed softly against the shore, a soothing sound that made me feel at peace. I was lost in my thoughts, thinking about everything and nothing at the same time.Suddenly, I heard my name. "Xander!" a familiar voice called out. I turned around and saw Adeline walking towards me. She was wearing a bikini, her smile bright and warm. She looked like an angel, with the sunlight making her hair shine like gold."Adeline!" I called back, standing up quickly. My heart was racing. I couldn't believe it was really her. She looked so beautiful, even more than I remembered.She reached me and without a word, we hugged tightly. It felt like we hadn't seen each other in years, even though it had only been a few months. Her body was warm against mine, and I could feel her heartbeat matching mine. We held each other for a long time, not wanting to

ADELINE’S POVI was sitting on my bed, scrolling through my phone when it happened. My fingers slipped, and my phone fell with a thud onto the floor. I squealed, my heart racing. I picked it up quickly, fearing the worst, but it was still intact. As I breathed a sigh of relief, I saw a new message notification.It was from Xander. My pulse quickened again as I opened the message. He texted to remind me of the dinner and if I still remembered. I stared at the screen, reading and re-reading the words. Was this real? Was Xander really asking me out? I felt a rush of excitement mixed with nerves. I screamed internally, "I freaking said yes!"I quickly typed my response, my fingers trembling slightly. "Yes, I would love to," I replied, hitting send before I could overthink it. It was still early in the day, but I knew I had to get ready. This was dinner with Xander.I jumped off my bed and dashed to my wardrobe.I flung open the doors and started pulling out clothes, tossing them onto m

ADELINE’S POV"This doesn't look good. Let's go to my place instead." Xander said.I nodded, feeling a knot in my stomach. Her turned the car around and headed towards his mansion. The drive was quiet, and I kept glancing at my phone, but there were no new messages since I had no signal on my phone. What could this be about? Was I in trouble or did something happen. We arrived at Xander's mansion. The gates slowly opened, and he drove in. The driveway was long and lined with trees. It felt very calm."This is my private mansion, no one will find you here.” He said and I nod. Let's get inside," he continued, I followed him into the house. It was grand and beautifully decorated, but I couldn't focus on anything. My mind was racing. Once inside, I finally checked my phone. There was a message from Clarissa: "Check the news now.""Xander, turn on the TV," I said, my voice shaking. He did as I asked, and we both stared at the screen.There I was, on the news, but not in a way I ever

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,
