MY POSSESSIVE BILLIONAIRE EX-HUSBAND CHAPTER 321
One evening, as I sat by the fireplace with a cup of tea, the investigator finally called. My hands trembled slightly as I answered.“Margarette, this is Gerald. I’ve got some preliminary findings on Richard.”My heart pounded. “Go on.”“Richard is… an anomaly,” Gerald began. “His official records only go back about six years. Before that, there’s no trace of him. No birth certificate, no educational history, nothing.”“What?” I said, confused. “That doesn’t make any sense.”“Exactly,” he replied. “It’s as if he appeared out of nowhere. But here’s where it gets even stranger—his fingerprints match those of Leon Everett, who was declared deceased five years ago.”My breath hitched. “Leon? But how—why—?”“That’s what I’m trying to piece together,” Gerald said. “I need more time to dig deeper, but I thought you’d want to know this right away.”“Thank you,” I whispered, my mind racing.“Be careful, Margarette,” he added. “If this man is hiding his identity, there’s usually a reason.”After

The night after Richard’s—or Leon’s—sudden disappearance weighed heavily on me. The cryptic warning he’d given me to “stay safe” and “let it go” played over and over in my mind. I couldn’t. I wouldn’t.What was he running from, and why couldn’t he trust me with the truth? The Leon I knew was never this evasive—he was strong, determined, and transparent. Whoever this man was now, he was a shadow of the person I had loved.I didn’t sleep that night. My thoughts churned, a storm brewing in my chest. When morning came, I made a decision: I needed answers, and I needed them now.Lucas had woken up feeling better, though he still had a slight fever. I decided to take him to the hospital for a follow-up checkup. The thought of another encounter with Richard filled me with both anticipation and dread, but Lucas’s health came first.As I sat in the waiting area, watching Lucas play with his toy truck, my phone buzzed with a message. It was from William.William: Everything is progressing faste

The name Victor reverberated in my mind, lingering like an ominous echo. What had Gerald uncovered that connected this mysterious man to Leon—or rather, Richard? And if this Victor was as dangerous as Gerald hinted, what was I up against?Lucas stirred in his sleep, mumbling softly as I sat by his bedside. His fever had broken, and his tiny face looked peaceful now, but my heart remained restless.By the next morning, the unease hadn’t left me. William called to check in, his warm voice reminding me how far removed he was from the storm brewing here.“I’ll be home tomorrow,” he said, sounding relieved. “Is everything alright there?”“Yes,” I lied. “Lucas is much better now.”“That’s good,” he said, a pause lingering before he added, “Margarette, are you okay?”I hesitated. “Just tired, that’s all.”He didn’t press, but I could tell he wanted to. The guilt of keeping him in the dark gnawed at me, but how could I explain this tangled mess without sounding insane?I decided to take Lucas

The days following Richard’s—no, Leon’s—visit were a haze of confusion and paranoia. Every shadow seemed longer, every noise louder. Richard’s warning lingered in my ears, haunting me: “Stay out of it. For your own good.”But I couldn’t.I stared at Lucas, his small chest rising and falling in his sleep, and my resolve solidified. I had to uncover the truth—not just for myself, but for him. If Victor Grey truly was tied to Leon’s disappearance and Richard’s cryptic behavior, then ignoring it wouldn’t make the danger go away.It was late afternoon when Gerald called me, his tone hurried and anxious.“Margarette, I’ve uncovered something.”I gripped the phone tighter. “What? What did you find?”“You need to come to my office immediately,” he said. “I can’t discuss this over the phone.”My heart hammered in my chest. “I’ll be right there.”I glanced at Lucas, who was busy coloring at the table. The sitter I’d hired to help during William’s absence was already here, so I knew Lucas would b

The hours that followed felt like a frantic game of chess. Every single move had to be calculated, every possibility weighed, because one wrong step could unravel everything—and place Lucas directly in Victor’s crosshairs.Leon paced the length of the kitchen, his phone gripped tightly in his hand. I sat at the table, the weight of our plan pressing against my chest like an invisible force.“Gerald needs to disappear for a while,” Leon muttered, more to himself than to me. “If Victor knows he’s been digging, Gerald will be his first target.”“Disappear?” I repeated, feeling my pulse spike. “How? Where can he go that Victor won’t find him?”Leon stopped pacing and turned to face me. “I know people. Trust me, they’ll make sure Gerald is safe until we have something solid against Victor.”Something about the certainty in his voice calmed me, even as doubt lingered at the edges of my mind. Leon was different now—sharper, harder, as if the man I once knew had been forced to don an impenetr

The hours bled into days, and life felt like a storm held at bay, each moment laden with the promise of upheaval. I couldn't stop thinking about the revelations Gerald had unearthed or the implications of Leon—no, Richard—standing against his father. Every time I looked at Lucas, I felt an ache of fear and determination that refused to be ignored.Victor Grey wasn’t just a looming threat; he was a shadow that had silently loomed over our lives for years. Now, it felt like that shadow was growing darker, colder, and more suffocating by the second.This morning started out quiet enough. The sunlight streamed through the windows of our modest house, spilling over Lucas’s half-finished Lego tower on the floor. It was a brief reminder of normalcy, but my heart refused to settle.Lucas giggled from the kitchen, pulling my attention.“Mommy, look!” he called, holding up a pancake he’d torn into a shape that vaguely resembled a heart.“Wow,” I said, managing a smile despite the knot of worry i

The air felt heavier after Richard’s departure, his warnings echoing in my mind like a persistent drumbeat. Victor knew. The enormity of that truth pressed against my chest, making it hard to breathe. It wasn’t just Lucas or me anymore—Sarah was involved, and that betrayal stung more than I cared to admit.I stared at the door for a long moment after Richard left, as if expecting him to return with a solution, an answer, or even just a sliver of hope. But there was nothing except the faint hum of life beyond the walls of our home.Lucas was back in the living room, humming to himself as he pieced together his Lego tower. The sight was bittersweet—a child’s innocence amid the chaos that loomed over us.I didn’t have time to dwell. If Victor was making his move, I needed to stay ahead of him.Later That Evening, After tucking Lucas into bed and triple-checking every lock and window, I pulled out my phone. Gerald’s number glared back at me from the screen. He was the only person I trusted

The room seemed appear as though it had shrink as Daniel’s words hung in the air. Someone else pulling the strings? How deep did this rabbit hole go?I lowered the bat but didn’t let it out of my grip. Lucas giggled in the living room, blissfully unaware of the chaos unraveling just a few feet away. His laughter felt like a lifeline, a reminder of what I was fighting for.“Who?” I asked, my voice colder than I felt. “Who’s behind Victor?”Daniel ran a hand through his disheveled hair, his usual bravado cracking under the weight of whatever he was about to say. “I don’t have a name yet. They operate through intermediaries, offshore accounts, layers of deniability. But I know one thing—they have resources Victor could only dream of.”“That’s not good enough,” I hissed. “If you’re here to help, I need specifics.”“I’m risking my life being here, Margarette!” he shot back, his voice rising. “You think I don’t know what kind of monster Victor is? If he finds out I’ve come to you—”“Then may

The smell of cinnamon and warm bread wafted through the air as I stood in the sunlit kitchen, stirring a pot of soup with one hand and resting the other protectively over my growing belly. Outside the window, the sound of laughter echoed from the garden where Leon chased after our two children—Emilia, now three, and our spirited one-year-old, Julian. Their giggles bounced off the walls like music.Peace.For the first time in what felt like a lifetime, I could breathe.It had been a year since Elise’s arc ended—since we put an end to the nightmare that stole my parents and nearly took my life. The trial that followed felt like a bad dream, and with Dorian’s testimony and the evidence from my father’s study, Elise’s crimes—along with her father's legacy of corruption—were buried with their conviction.Leon and I moved on. We rebuilt our lives, one moment, one breath at a time.And now, as I stirred soup with the ease of a mother content in her routine, I was preparing to share somethin
MY POSSESSIVE BILLIONAIRE EX-HUSBAND CHAPTER 432
The world came back into focus slowly, like a dim light piercing through heavy fog. My ears rang, my limbs felt heavy, and my mind was swimming. But Leon’s voice cut through it all, rough and frantic.“Margarette. Margarette, stay with me!”Pain pulsed through my shoulder as I blinked, registering the warm, sticky sensation of blood soaking through my blouse. But I was alive. Alive.“Elise,” I rasped.Leon’s jaw was tight as he leaned over me, his eyes frantic with emotion. “She’s gone. Dorian chased after her. You're going to be okay. Just hang in there.”“I’m fine,” I murmured, trying to sit up.Leon gently pushed me back. “No. You're not fine. You were shot, Margarette.”“I’ve been through worse,” I said, forcing a smile, though it came out as more of a grimace. "We need to finish this. No more running."He looked like he wanted to argue, but instead, he nodded and helped me up, careful not to jar my shoulder.We moved together down the hallway. Every step hurt, but adrenaline dull

The next time I woke, I was in an unfamiliar room.Soft, golden light filtered through the curtains, casting long shadows across the walls. The air smelled of antiseptic and fresh linen. My body ached, a dull, pulsing pain radiating from my side, but the sharp agony from before had dulled to something more manageable.I turned my head slightly and found Leon sitting in a chair beside the bed. His elbows rested on his knees, his hands clasped together, as if he’d been keeping vigil for hours. His shirt was wrinkled, stained with my blood. His face was unreadable, but his eyes—dark and stormy—held an intensity that sent a shiver down my spine.“You’re awake.” His voice was quiet, but there was no mistaking the relief in it.I swallowed, my throat dry. “Where are we?”“A safe house,” Leon answered, leaning forward. “One of mine. Dorian’s securing the perimeter. You needed medical attention, but a hospital wasn’t an option. Too risky.”I nodded slowly, my mind still catching up. The last

Gunfire tore through the air, glass raining down around us as we hit the ground. The sharp sound of bullets striking wood and metal sent my heart into a frantic rhythm. Leon grabbed me, shielding my body as we crawled behind the heavy oak desk.“Dorian?” Leon’s voice was sharp, controlled despite the chaos.“I’m fine,” Dorian called from behind a toppled chair. He moved fast, drawing his gun and firing two precise shots toward the broken windows. A pained grunt told us he had hit his mark.Vincent, the smug bastard, was still in his chair, completely unbothered by the attack.“This is cute,” he mused, swirling the whiskey in his glass. “But you should know by now—I never play fair.”Leon turned his gun on him. “Call them off.”Vincent only smiled.I gritted my teeth. “Damn it, Vincent, this isn’t a game! Who the hell is shooting at us?”The door burst open, and three armed men stormed in.Dorian moved first. He lunged at the closest attacker, his blade flashing in the dim light. The m

Darkness swallowed me whole.For a moment, I thought I was dead. The gunshot still rang in my ears, deafening, all-consuming. But then, pain—sharp and searing—bloomed along my side, pulling me back from the abyss. My breath came in ragged gasps as my knees buckled, and I felt myself falling.Strong arms caught me before I hit the ground.“Margarette!” Leon’s voice was raw with panic. His hands pressed against my wound, trying to staunch the bleeding. The warmth of my own blood seeped through my clothes, sticky against my skin. Dorian fired, his shot echoing through the cavernous estate.Elise let out a sharp cry, staggering back. But even as she bled, her cruel smile remained. “Not bad,” she whispered, clutching her shoulder where Dorian’s bullet had struck her. “But not enough.”Leon lifted me, his grip firm but desperate. “We need to move. Now.”“No,” I gritted out, fighting through the pain. “We finish this.”Dorian cursed. “Are you insane? You’re bleeding out!”I forced myself to

The safe house felt suffocating, the air thick with unspoken tension. Every second we wasted gave Vincent more time to prepare. More time to strike.I wasn’t going to let that happen.Leon stood by the table, his hands braced against the surface, muscles tight with frustration. Dorian, despite the pain from his injury, sat nearby, flipping a knife between his fingers—a habit he had when deep in thought.“We need a lead,” Leon finally said, his voice low and controlled. “We can’t storm in blind.”I paced near the window, arms crossed. “We do have a lead. This locket.” I held it up, the metal catching the dim light. “Vincent had it for a reason. He wanted me to see it. Why?”Dorian exhaled sharply. “Because he’s playing with you.”I shook my head. “No. There’s more to it. He wouldn’t go through the trouble of planting something from my past just to taunt me. He wants me to remember something.”Leon’s gaze darkened. “Then let’s start at the beginning. The night of the accident.”My throa

The salty night air carried the hum of distant ship engines and the occasional murmur of dock workers. But this wasn’t just a routine shipment—this was a calculated exchange of power, a moment that could unravel everything Elise’s father had hidden for years.I crouched behind a stack of shipping containers with Leon beside me. Dorian’s team was spread out, positioned along the pier, watching, waiting. A dark van was parked near the edge of the dock, its back doors open. Men in suits moved between the van and the cargo, transferring crates that likely held more than just money.Leon’s voice was low in my ear. “Four men on the ground, two near the van. More could be inside.”I nodded, my gaze locked on the crates. “That’s not just cash, Leon. That’s leverage. He wouldn’t move it unless he was running scared.”Dorian’s voice crackled through our earpieces. “We take them now, we risk losing the files. We wait too long, we risk backup showing up.”I made the decision before anyone else co

Dorian smirked. “Relax, lover boy. I’m not saying she’s defenseless—I’m saying we need to be smart about this.”Leon’s glare didn’t waver, but he didn’t argue either. He knew Dorian was right.I exhaled, my fingers tightening around the locket that had started all of this. “So what do we do?”Dorian sighed. “You have two choices: disappear and hope they forget about you… or go after them first.”Leon tensed beside me. “You’re suggesting we take the fight to them?”Dorian shrugged. “Elise’s father had powerful connections. Some of them might scatter now that he’s locked up, but the smart ones? They’ll wait. Watch. See what you do next.”I swallowed hard. “Then we don’t give them time to plan.”Leon turned to me, his expression dark. “You’re sure about this?”I met his gaze. “I didn’t come this far just to hide.”Dorian grinned. “That’s what I was hoping you’d say.”Alexa shifted uncomfortably. “I wish I had your courage.”I reached for her hand. “You have more than you think.”She gave
