Love After Divorce: My Ex Wife Is A Billionaire 72
***ADELINE’S POV*** I wanted to run away from everything. I was so tired and so done. I stared out the window of the small apartment I was staying in, feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders. Everything was falling apart, and I didn't know how to fix it. The scandal, the reporters, the hateful comments. It was all too much. I wanted to run away from everything and go back to New York, back to where I felt safe. My thoughts drifted to Mama, the woman who saved me five years ago. I could still remember the first time I met her. I was wandering the streets, lost and desperate, when she found me. Mama took me in, gave me a place to stay, and showed me kindness when I needed it most. One evening, I had told her about my dream. "I want to start a jewelry business," I said. She looked at me with a gentle smile. "Why will you want to stress yourself over a business? You can have everything you want." I shook my head. "Mama, I haven’t done anything in my life. I'm happy now bec

***SASHA’S POV*** I moved into the Devon’s mansion just as Xander’s mom instructed. The place was still grand, with large rooms and beautiful furniture. The walls were covered with paintings, and the floors were shiny and clean. I felt a little like a princess in a fairy tale. But it wasn’t as magical as it seemed the first time. Xander’s mom, welcomed me warmly. She hugged me and said, “Sasha, you are like a daughter to me. I’m so happy you’re here.” “Thank you, Mrs. Devon,” I replied, trying to sound cheerful. But inside, I felt nervous. A few days after I moved in, I saw Xander. He looked tired and stressed. When he saw me, he just nodded and walked past without saying a word. I felt a pang in my heart. I had hoped he would be happy to see me or even be civil at least but he didn’t even smile. Later, I went to Mrs. Devon, tears streaming down my face. “Xander won’t talk to me,” I sobbed. She hugged me and patted my back. “Don’t worry, dear. He’s just stressed. He’ll come aro

***ADELINE’S POV*** I stared at a very agitated Sasha who stood in my office, her eyes narrowed with anger. She had burst in without knocking. I remained calm, sitting at my desk, my hands folded in front of me. "What do you mean by that?" Sasha asked, eyeing me suspiciously. "You really got involved with Tristan, you fool," I said, my voice steady. “What about him?” She asked, her face twisted with anger. "Well, I have nothing to tell you," I snapped. "You said leave my office." But Sasha didn't move. Instead, she stepped closer, her eyes burning with curiosity and rage. "Tell me about Tristan," she demanded. "What happened between you two?" I shook my head. "I have nothing to say to you, Sasha. Now, leave my office." Sasha's anger only grew. "You think you're so high and mighty, Adeline. But I'll make sure when I'm done with you, you won't live to tell the story." I met her gaze without flinching. "Do your worst, Sasha. Nothing will happen. You're just curious about Tristan,

***SASHA’S POV*** I sat on the plush chair in my living room, staring at Ben with a mischievous grin. He paced back and forth, clearly anxious about what I had just told him. Finally, he stopped and faced me, his eyes wide with concern. "What do you mean you're going to jump from her office window?" he asked angrily. "You'd fall to your death!" he exclaimed. I laughed heartily, shaking my head. "Of course, I won't fall," I said, trying to ease his worries. "You have to come at the right time with them. You must get there at the perfect time." He looked at me, still unsure. "Sasha, this sounds dangerous. Why would you even think of doing something like this?" I leaned forward, my eyes sparkling with excitement. "Ben, it's not what you think. I'm not actually going to jump. It's part of the plan to get Adeline agitated. If we do this right, she'll be so flustered she won't know what to do, and then you bring in the reporters. They need to see her at her worst, and we'll catch ev

ADELINE’S POV***"Sasha, please get back inside," I pleaded, my voice trembling. "It's not safe."She didn’t seem to hear me. Instead, she leaned out further, her head and shoulders now outside the window."Sasha!" I cried out, panic rising in my chest. "Please, come back in! You're going to fall!"She laughed again, completely ignoring my pleas. "Relax, Adeline. I’m just having a little fun."My hands were shaking as I took a step towards her. "Sasha, please. This isn’t funny. You could get hurt."But she continued to lean out further, her whole upper body now outside the window. My heart pounded in my chest, and I felt tears prickling at the corners of my eyes."Sasha, stop it! Please!" I begged, my voice cracking."I’m scared for you. Please, come back inside."Still, she didn’t listen. She was almost completely outside the window now, and I felt a wave of terror wash over me.I rushed towards her, my hands reaching out to grab her and pull her back in. "Sasha, no!"Just as my fing

***XANDER’S POV*** I hadn't gone home since Adeline came to live with us. There was no time to argue or fight with my mom, so I stayed in my private home. Every day felt longer, and the minutes dragged by. My thoughts were always on Adeline. I hadn't seen her since she left my house, and like her usual self, she wasn't calling either. I wanted to know what she was doing about the whole situation since the news about her seemed to still be spreading even more. That morning, I sat in my office, staring at my computer screen. Papers were scattered across my desk, but I couldn't focus. My mind was filled with thoughts of Adeline. What was she doing? How was she handling everything? I couldn't stop thinking about her. "Mr. Devon, you have a meeting at ten," my assistant reminded me, standing at the doorway. "Cancel it," I said, not looking up. "But it's with Mr. Thompson," she insisted. "I don't care. Cancel everything for today," I replied, still absent-minded. The office was qui

***SASHA ‘S POV***I went to the police station and gave my statement. It took hours as I tried to recount everything and make it so dramatic. I felt relieved when it was finally over.The police were nice. They believed me. They said they would take care of everything and Adeline was already in custody. When I left, I felt a bit lighter and smiled brightly since her life would be ruined and she’d get out of my business forever.When I got home, Xander's mom, Mrs. Devon, rushed to me. She hugged me tight and led me slowly to sit on the couch."Sasha, what happened to you?" she asked, her voice full of concern.I sniffed, tears welling up in my eyes. "It was horrible," I began, my voice shaking. "Adeline... Adeline tried to kill me."Mrs. Devon's eyes widened in shock. She hugged me tighter. "Oh, Sasha, I'm so sorry. Tell me everything. I saw the news. I couldn’t even believe she’d go this far to hurt you."I took a deep breath. "It happened in my office. Adeline came in. She looked so

MATT’S POV***I woke up to the buzzing of my phone. Groggy, I reached over and squinted at the screen. It was Jess, my buddy from the TV station. She was always in the know about everything, good or bad."Matt, turn on the TV. You won't believe what's going on," she said urgently.I rubbed my eyes and stumbled out of bed, switching on the TV in the living room. The news anchor's voice filled the air, reporting something that made my heart sink."Adeline Thompson, socialite and entrepreneur, has been arrested under house arrest after allegedly attempting to kill Sasha Thompson, her sister."I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Adeline, arrested? Attempting to kill Sasha? It made no sense.My mind raced back to when Adeline had come to me, pleading for understanding after the sugar baby scandal broke out. She wanted me to stay calm, not be angry with her. I had refused, upset and confused because she won’t date me.Now, seeing her in this new scandal, I felt a pang of guilt.I grabbed

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,
