Revenge on My Billionaire Ex Chapter 8
12:30 AM, Phoenix Residence.Crimson Blaze sank into the couch in his room, nursing a glass of vintage wine.Suddenly, a gentle knock sounded on the door, jolting him back to reality. He set his glass on the delicate crystal table and pondered who could be visiting at this ungodly hour as he rose to his feet.With a deep breath, he pulled the knob and swung it open, revealing his late-night visitor. Before him stood a regal woman in her seventies, with high cheekbones and aristocratic features that added to her striking presence. Her long silver hair rolled into an elegant bun at her nape."Grandma," he muttered with furrowed brows. "Shouldn't you be asleep now? The doctor said you shouldn't stay up late.""Hijo, Isabela is missing," Esperanza exclaimed in a panicked tone, her Spanish accent accentuating her worry."Have you checked her room?" he asked. It's late and his cousin wouldn't leave the house. She must be hiding somewhere in the mansion, he thought to himself."I’ve checked

Two agonizing hours passed before the door to the emergency room flung open. To Crimson, though, it felt like an eternity. He rose from the chair, the metal creaking in relief as he eased his weight and stood on his feet.He couldn't summon the strength to run to the man garbed in a white robe, so he waited, fear swelling in his chest, making breathing a struggle.The veins in his temples pounded beneath his skin.Isabela was his responsibility as the new head of the house, and if something bad happened to her, he only had himself to blame."How's the patient?" Crimson asked, the words barely emerging from his paper-white lips.The doctor, a man in his early fifties with graying sandy brown hair, looked at him with tired eyes."The surgery was a success. Although, she could have died if you'd been a bit later."Crimson collapsed into the chair, relief washing through him like a tide. He had the urge to cry, but he couldn't summon the tears. His stinging eyes felt like a dried well.He

Taylor leaned forward; there was sympathy in his eyes as he looked at him. "None of it is your fault. You can't carry all the burden on your own, son."Crimson took the financial reports in his hand and felt the weight of all his responsibilities pressing down on his palms. "Is there any way for me to save the family business?""Proceed with the marriage to Celestine Ford, and all your worries will disappear. Her father, the Mayor, will give you the leverage you need."He heaved a sigh. The engagement with Celestine had helped a lot, and he managed to convince the investors not to pull out of the contract. But he couldn't keep relying on her or anyone. If there was another option, he would rather take it without binding himself to anyone."Is there any other option?" he asked.Taylor's expression sobered. He delayed his response by abandoning his chair to grab the bottle of vintage wine. He poured a couple of inches of the velvet liquid into a crystal glass before lowering himself bac

Grandfather had left the house by the time I went downstairs in my work uniform. My head pounded with the onslaught of morning sickness. I couldn't take it anymore and decided to take an aspirin.Downstairs, I rummaged through the medicine cabinet. Inside, there was a transparent plastic container filled with a medley of different medicines for various ailments.I sifted through the contents with my fingers in search of a particular familiar packaging. Much to my dismay, I couldn't seem to find any aspirin.A bit frustrated, I decided to check the next cabinet. I reached for the handle and slowly pulled it open.A scream almost escaped my lips, and shivers ran down my spine upon seeing a fourteen-inch knife covered with dried blood.In my shock, I dropped the container of medicine I was still holding, and it scattered on the ground like a burst of colorful confetti.A sudden jolt of fear ran through my body, leaving me frozen in place.The question that plagued my mind was one that th

I stood frozen in place at the sound of approaching footsteps."What are you doing?" Grandfather's voice boomed through the room and I jumped at the sound. I turned around to face him, my hands shaking as I tried to come up with a lie."I'm just looking for an aspirin," I said, trying to sound as convincing as possible. "My head is pounding, and I thought there might be some in here."Grandfather frowned suspiciously at me. “You know there's no need to rummage through the drawers like that. I keep the aspirin in a clearly labeled bottle on the top shelf.” “I just took the last one this morning, and I thought you might be keeping more in one of these drawers."Grandfather's expression softened, and he put a hand on my shoulder. "I apologize; I must have forgotten to refill it, but I'll buy some from the pharmacy tomorrow.”“I’ll do it, Grandpa. I’ll grab some aspirin from the pharmacy on my way to work tomorrow.”“If you insist,” he replied with a shrug. “I shall go back to my room no

Shaking my head, I told myself he couldn't possibly know about my pregnancy since I hadn't told anyone who could have informed him.I put on a poker face. “I don't know what's running through your head, Mr. Phoenix. Accusing me of lying when I have nothing to gain is not only pathetic but also insulting.”His eyes searched mine. In a low and measured tone he asked, "Are you pregnant?"The confident smile on my face disappeared, replaced by a mix of surprise and fear.I tried to understand why he would ask such a thing. Did he hear from someone else that I was pregnant? But even if he hit home, I was still not going to admit anything. "Of course not! Why would you even ask such a preposterous question?”"Naturally, I must ask. The last time we were intimate, the condom broke.” "No, I am not pregnant," I insisted, praying he would buy it and leave me alone.The mere thought of him discovering my secret filled me with dread. If he knew that I was carrying his child, he would stop at no

I didn't even resist, knowing how badly I needed it right now because the room was extremely cold.“Can I sit down?” he asked, gesturing to the seat next to mine.Although I may have preferred a bit more space between us, it would not be my place to refuse.“Suit yourself,” I replied with a shrug.Silence lapsed between us until it was broken by his voice.“I'm sorry, Elizabeth.”I stared at my lap to avoid his gaze, wondering what he could possibly be apologizing for.Was he sorry that my grandfather had killed his own? Sorry that I had been unwillingly pulled into this complicated situation? Or perhaps he was merely sorry for how miserable I appeared at that moment. Regardless, his words left me with more questions than answers."You don't have to apologize. None of us wanted this to happen," I murmured under my breath, holding up a hand to stop him from touching me when he attempted to comfort me. I didn't want to be consoled, especially not by him.I stood up and returned his jack

I wanted to hear the truth, even if it would shatter my world and break me apart.He lifted his head, and his sad eyes focused on me. They appeared hollow and unblinking, as if I was staring into the face of a man who had given up all hope of living.“Please, just this once, Grandpa,” I pleaded. Desperation seeped from my tone. “... please... tell me the truth.”"Elizabeth," his voice was tired, matching his exhausted expression. "I know you won't believe me, but I… I didn't kill Philip. I hated the man he'd become — a despicable man who never kept his promises — but I could never bring myself to harm someone who was once like a brother to me."From the depths of my heart, I knew he was telling the truth. I felt a sudden relief, as if a thorn had been pulled out from my chest. Next thing I knew, tears were streaming down my face."Then why? Why did you have to admit that you killed him?" My voice reflected the heartbreak I felt."Because I have someone to protect, Elizabeth. So please

I hugged Cleo tightly, but loose enough for her to breathe. I couldn't believe that this adorable girl was my daughter.“Daddy tried to explain everything to me, but I still wonder, why did you leave me? Don't you want me?”The question stopped me in my tracks. Seeing the sadness in her eyes made me bite my lip. I couldn't blame her if she thought I abandoned her. I was never present in her life during the past four years. I didn't witness when she first opened her eyes, took her first steps, or said her first words. I missed out on so much, and it breaks my heart.But I couldn't tell Cleo the whole truth just yet. She was too young to understand the intricacies of my past and the reasons why I had to leave her behind. So, I simply said, “I had to go away for a while because there were some things I needed to take care of. But now, I'm back, and I promise I'll never leave you again.”Cleo studied me for a moment before throwing her arms around me in a tight hug. “Don't ever leave me a

The police station was a hive of activity when we arrived, and officers were moving around in a hurry. Crimson and I were directed to the office by a stern-looking officer, who instructed us to wait for Chief Dallas.I sat with my hands clenched in my lap. I was scared, but I was trying my best to maintain a calm demeanor.After what felt like an eternity, the door opened, and Chief Dallas finally came in. He offered us a smile, but upon noticing the look on our faces, he occupied his seat and said, "Elizabeth… Crimson. I'm surprised to find you both here. What can I do for you?”“Celestine took Cleo without permission. She kidnapped my daughter,” Crimson explained.Chief Dallas nodded, understanding the seriousness of the situation. “We will do everything we can to locate Cleo and ensure her safety. Do you have any idea where Celestine might have taken her?”“No,” replied Crimson. "We've checked her condominium and called her number, but she's not answering.”“Tell me what she's wear

If I hadn't been courageous enough to return to Flintstone City, I would have never found out that I have a daughter.How could I have not known I had given birth to a twin and that the other child was stolen? As I asked myself this, I resisted the urge to burst into hysterics, wondering what would have happened to Cleo in Celestine's hands if I hadn't discovered she was my child.“Calm down, Elizabeth,” he whispered.I turned to him, my vision blurring while staring at his handsome face. “How could I calm down after learning the truth, Crimson? I wasted four years of my life not knowing she existed!”“It wasn't your fault. You were deceived, just like me. It's all Celestine's doing! Instead of blaming yourself, think about what you have to do next!”He was harsh, but his words were true, snapping me out of my misery like a slap. Cleo was my daughter, and it was my duty to protect her now and make up for lost time. I couldn't change the past, but I could certainly shape the future.“P

My heart raced as I stumbled out of the coffee shop, my eyes scanning the parking space where I had parked my car. The conversation had been brief; it didn’t even last ten minutes, but Crimson's words had left a lasting impression on me.I refused to believe his words; after all, he was the man who had broken my heart, and I couldn't trust him again, even if I wanted to. “Elizabeth! Please wait for me!”I quickened my pace, determined to escape him.“Stop running, Elizabeth!” he said, grabbing me by the arm.My patience snapped. I glared at him with daggers in my eyes. If looks could maim, he would lie in a pool of blood on the pavement.“Now that we both know that Cleo isn't Celestine's daughter, this time I need you to take a DNA test.”The words surprised me. I felt my heart skip a beat. What did he mean by that?Before I could gather my thoughts, Crimson took a step closer, his hand reaching out to gently brush a stray lock of hair away from my face. His touch sent a shiver down

When I arrived at the suite, Sam was pacing back and forth, clearly anxious. Sapphire was there too. Although she was seated, the anxiety was evident on her face.“What’s the problem?” I blurted out.“Thank God you arrived! I just received the DNA results for Cleo and Celestine.”Sapphire handed me an envelope with the DNA results. My heart was pounding as I nervously tore open the envelope and unfolded the papers inside. I scanned through the results, my eyes widening in shock.According to the DNA results, Cleo is not Celestine's daughter.“Sapphire, is this real?” I stammered, looking at her wide eyes.“Yes. Cleo is not Celestine's daughter, Liz…”I felt like my world was spinning. I looked at Sam, who was as shocked by the news as everyone else in the room.“What are your plans now?” Sapphire asked.I took a deep breath before responding. “It means that Celestine had stolen somebody’s child.”Sam nodded in agreement, her jaw clenched as she stopped pacing and stood beside me."I j

The following day, my brother Louis remained silent about the previous night's incident at the Mayor's house. I had hoped he would express some anger or yell at me, but instead, his calm demeanor had a more profound impact than if he had raised his voice.The events from last night had made headlines everywhere. Celestine Ford got her karma. Her reputation had been tarnished overnight, and she was facing backlash from the public and media.Serves her right, I thought to myself.I returned to my office after breakfast and started working on my laptop. I made a mental note to talk to Louis later to clear the air and hopefully soften him a bit.Afternoon came, and I finally completed my work.I strolled down the hallway, my car keys jingling in my hand. Louis, heading toward the presidential suite, crossed paths with me. "Where are you off to?" he inquired."I'm heading to the orphanage,” I responded.Louis didn't inquire about my purpose for going to the orphanage. Instead, he kindly of

Crimson's laughter echoed in the study room. I hadn't expected him to laugh at the situation, which made me wonder if he had lost his mind. “Don't spit such ridiculous words,” he replied with a hardened expression. “I am not interested in you, Vera. You're like a sister to me."The woman he had just called Vera clung to him. “I can make you want me. I will change for you.”Tears fell freely from her eyes. "Please, just give me a chance. I love you…. I have loved you since we were children… ““Vera, I care for you deeply, but not in the way you want me to. It's not fair to either of us to force something that isn't there. Please don't hurt yourself anymore."Vera ran out of the room sobbing.I released the breath I hadn't realized I was holding when the door to the study closed.Crimson had done the right thing by being honest and setting boundaries. Although it hurt the woman, it would help her to at least move on.“Stop hiding, Elizabeth. I know you're there.”Breathless, I emerged

Clarisse Stevens' beautiful countenance lit up with excitement."Oh, that's so sweet of you, Elizabeth! I would love to hear you play."I remained still, like a statue, unable to move. I never expected to be playing the piano in front of a crowd of almost five hundred people.The Mayor smiled genuinely at me and said, "It was very thoughtful of you to offer such a gift to my daughter, Madam.”I felt pressure to play because everyone, especially the Mayor, was expecting me to. But I was worried that I would only end up embarrassing myself.Perhaps Celestine sensed the fear in my eyes and smiled, "Don't be shy, Elizabeth." Suddenly, she grabbed my arm roughly and led me to the piano, hiding her true, malicious intentions with a seemingly kind gesture.Was her intention to humiliate me and make me lose face in front of the most important people in Flintstone City?If that's her intention, then I'm not going to let her win.Taking a deep breath, I sat down, ignoring the evil glint in Cele

Crimson cleared his throat and spoke up, "I'm here to give you a ride. The escort who was supposed to drive you to Havenwood Street got a flat tire on the way. Clarisse asked me to pick you up because I will be passing by the hotel on my way to the Mayor's house.”“You shouldn't have bothered.”“Don't worry; I'm not,” he replied with a shrug."I can simply drive to the Mayor's house; I have a car," I argued."It's risky," he responded honestly. "Plus, you're not familiar with the location of the Mayor's house. You could easily get lost.”I paused, considering his point. "Okay, then do what you want. There's no use arguing since you're already here.""Shall we go?" he asked.I nodded, and together we walked to his car.“How long have you been waiting?”Crimson blushed in embarrassment. “Almost half an hour.""I apologize for making you wait," I told him.“No need to apologize. It's my fault for coming early,” he answered. His gaze surprisingly never left my face, as if he were under a
