Adeline I grabbed my coat from the hanger and dialed the driver's number to have him wait for me downstairs. Despite my reluctance, I had to go home to have dinner. My high heels echoed through the empty hall, and I stretched and got into the car. "Where are we going?" The driver asked when he saw my reflection in the mirror. "Take me to my father's house." I nodded in response. My father's house, not my home. From the day I left five years ago, I knew that no one in this home welcomed me. And now, my father called me to come home for dinner. I wonder how they will react to seeing their daughter after five years of absence. A few minutes later we arrived at the house. I asked the driver to go back first, I had my plan. Looking at the familiar house in front of me, I pulled my bag closer to myself and walked to the door. I rang the doorbell, and when it rang a second time, my father poked his head out. He pulled me into a hug, "Adeline, my daughter. I miss you so much, we

XANDER'S POVI wanted to see her. I lurked around the neighborhood as an excuse. It was already evening. I didn't want to make it obvious that I was already close by. I waited a good thirty minutes before I reversed the car, and I drove towards their house. My phone rang, and it was Sasha. I ignored the call, I had promised her I was going to make it to her today, I was on my way anyway. I arrived at the house and I parked my car in the driveway. The car that was driving her was no longer here. Perhaps she hasn't arrived?I rang the doorbell, and I waited for a reply, but I received nothing. I tried again for the second time, and her father came to the door."Hello, son," He said as he pulled me into a hug. "Hi father, i know it's late, but i had to come over, I can't go a day without seeing my A–sasha," I almost slipped, but he wasn't quick enough to catch. "Adeline, she came over to see us," He said, giving me a heads up; little did he know that I was truly here to se

ADELINE’S POV"Are you surprised to see me?" Matt asked, grinning as I got into the car. His smile was perfect and his eyes crinkled with amusement as I stared at him."Of course, I am! What are you doing here in town and how did you find me?" I asked, waiting for an explanation.“I missed the ball and I had to make it up to you. I wanted to take you to dinner immediately I landed in Manhattan but you weren’t at the Company and your secretary told me you’d be here. I was about to call you when I saw you.” He explained.“I remember telling you it wasn’t a big deal and you didn’t have to come.” I say even though I was happy to see him."What can I say," he started, "You left, and Washington became boring. And a little bird told me you turned Manhattan upside down with your unveiling. I had to come see it myself. You’re the talk of the town and your face is everywhere right now," he continued, his smile widening."Don’t flatter me," I said, smiling hard. "You left your company to come he

XANDER’S POVI watched whoever it was step out of the car while Adeline walked towards him.She seemed comfortable and relaxed, and the tall man, whose features I couldn’t clearly make out from a distance except that he was dressed to the nines, pecked her cheek with his hand on her waist.“Fuck,” I swore as I watched her giggle and enter his car, and he started to drive away.I rushed to my car, my mind racing with a thousand scenarios as I followed them, hoping they wouldn’t notice a car tailing them.Who was he? Did she remarry? Was he a boyfriend? I needed to know. My phone rang, jolting me. It was Sasha.Seeing her call seemed to get me back to my senses because it dawned on me that I was stalking my ex-wife, but I couldn’t stop even if I wanted to. I was so curious about finding out who she was with.I didn’t want to answer, but the ringing persisted, so I picked up and put her on speaker, my eyes still on the road.“Hello?” I said impatiently, trying my best to sound normal.“A

SASHA’S POV"I'll see you later, babe," Xander said, giving me a quick kiss before leaving the house.I watched him go, feeling a knot of anger in my stomach.Xander left right after Adeline, and it annoyed the fuck out of me. He tried to act like he wasn't in a hurry, but I could tell he was rushing after her and the fact that he showed up right after she arrived bothered me.I stood up, lost in thought, when I heard my dad's voice."Sasha, aren't you happy to see your sister doing so well? Finally, our family is complete again," he said.I flashed him a toothy grin and nodded. "Of course I am. I never imagined that bitc... Adeline would ever come back into our lives again," I said before storming off to my room.I couldn't stand having Adeline back. Her return felt like a terrible storm sweeping through my life, about to drown me.She was here to take what was mine, and I knew it. Worse, she had this smug confidence that got under my skin.At dinner, seeing Xander stare at her like

Xander’s POVI looked down at my phone, expecting to see Sasha’s name flash on the screen. Instead, it was Mom calling. “Mom?” I answered, puzzled.“Xander, where are you?” she said, her voice breathless. “Hurry home.”“What’s wrong?” I asked, but she had already hung up. I stepped on the accelerator and sped back home, wondering what was wrong.When I walked into the house, I saw my mom, Sasha, and Sasha’s parents all seated in the living room. I took a deep breath, more confused than ever.“You’re back,” my mom said, coming towards me. She gave me a kiss on the cheek, looking very happy.“Mom, what’s wrong? Is everything okay?” I asked, scanning their faces for any sign of trouble.“You’ve done well,” she said, leading me inside, but it only made me more confused.“Done well? What are you talking about?” I glanced at Sasha, who was smiling brightly.“Sit down,” Mom said, guiding me to the couch. Whatever was happening, I didn’t understand, but my mom looked so happy.“Mom…,” I said,

ADELINE’S POVI walked out of the conference room after a grueling five-hour meeting with new investors and my company lawyers.The contract negotiations had been intense, and I felt completely drained. I stepped into my office with my secretary, Clarissa, and collapsed on the seat."Do I have any other schedule for the day?" I asked her, my voice betraying my exhaustion."You have dinner with Matt at 8, but I can contact his secretary and cancel if you're not up for it," she replied calmly, though I knew she was concerned."No, don't," I said, shaking my head.Clarissa had been with me for four years. She was more than just my secretary; she was my confidante and always looked out for me. I had promised Matt this dinner, and I had already postponed it once. I might as well get it over with."Tell the driver to bring the car to the front," I instructed, ready to leave the office."You can't go to dinner looking like that," Clarissa said quietly, her eyes scanning me. I glanced down a

SASHA’S POVI sat at the Devon Estate, thinking about how perfect everything was going. The plan I had concocted with my mother had worked flawlessly. Getting Mrs. Devon, Xander’s mom, to believe that I was pregnant with the fake pregnancy results my mother had arranged was incredibly easy.I told her I wanted her to be the first to know since I didn’t know how Xander would react, given that we weren’t even engaged yet. With a few tears in my eyes, she was convinced."Mrs. Devon, I wanted you to be the first to know that I'm... pregnant."Her eyes widened in surprise, but I could see the wheels turning in her mind."Pregnant?" she said."I know," I replied, letting a tear slip down my cheek. "I wanted you to know first because I don't know how Xander will react. I'm scared."Mrs. Devon’s expression softened immediately. She took my hands in hers and said, "Scared of what? Don’t worry, dear. We will sort this out, and Xander will do the right thing."Xander had been surprised at the ne

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,
