Rise Of The Billionaire’s Ex-Wife: From Lame To Fame Chapter 44
44.That night…Samantha stood in the bathroom as Aiden's words kept coming back to her. She wondered what he meant by playing by his rules this time. She hadn't been this nervous in her life. With a sigh, she poured water on her face and stepped out of the bathroom. Aiden was busy working on his laptop, and she wondered if he ever stopped to rest for once.She leaned on the wall, her arms crossed, as she watched how his hands moved swiftly over the keyboard. He was so focused, so determined. She couldn't help but feel a twinge of admiration for him.As if sensing her gaze, Aiden looked up and caught her staring at him. He smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “Hey,” he said, his voice low and husky. “I didn't know you were done in the bathroom.”Samantha shrugged, feeling a blush rise to her cheeks. “Yeah, I was just… admiring your focus,” she said, trying to sound nonchalant.Aiden chuckled and leaned back in his chair, his eyes never leaving hers. “I'm just trying to get ever

45.NEXT DAY...The event was about to start. The car show was to be held for two days. The first day was for the presentation of the cars and the second day for the announcement of the winner and the best brand that would be featured for marketing. Samantha and Aiden were all dressed and ready for the presentation."Are you nervous?" Aiden asked as they stepped out of the room.Samantha shook her head. "No, I'm very confident in what we have created. There's no doubt that we're going to win." she smiled and Aiden chuckled."I admire your confidence. Hope you aren't going to get discouraged when you see other cars though?" Aiden asked but she shook her head."Never!" ****BACKSTAGE"I spoke too soon!" Samantha exclaimed as she looked around at all the beautiful cars on display. There were sleek sports cars, luxurious sedans, and even futuristic concept cars that looked like they were in a sci-fi movie. Aiden chuckled and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, our car c

46.After the judges asked the contestants questions and they were able to answer, the host came up to close the show for the day."So that is it for the presentation of the cars, people. The competition is tough as various contestants have showcased what their car can do but it is not up to us to know which car is best, it's up to the judges. That's it for today. The winners will be announced tomorrow. Until then, see you all and enjoy your stay in Detroit!!!" she announced and the audience cheered.When they returned backstage, Samantha faced Aiden. "When did you add that feature to the car, Aiden? And you didn't even tell me." she asked, the shock still evident on her face.Aiden chuckled and shrugged his shoulders. "I added it a few weeks ago, Sam. I wanted it to be a surprise. I knew you'd be impressed."Samantha shook her head, still trying to process what she had just seen. "Impressed? Aiden, that's an understatement. I'm shocked. How did you even manage to do it without me kno

47. Samantha blinked severally at his words. Aiden pulled away and stared at her speechless face with a smile on his lips. "I said I'm all yours and you're speechless. Why?" he asked and she glared at him. "Don't say things like that to me again, understand?" she looked away from him, meeting the suspicious gazes of Linda and Seth instead. She looked at Aiden and back at them. "Let's just go," she walked away from Aiden, who tucked his hand in his pocket and followed her with a smile on his face. *** LOS ANGELES The internet was already on fire after Samantha and Aiden revealed the new car model. Ray had to switch his phone off due to the numerous calls he kept getting from businessmen and Directors, who wanted to know if such technology actually existed. He had no idea how to tell them he was equally shocked. If he hadn't seen the proof, he wouldn't have believed what Samantha and Aiden displayed. "Are you worried about the car or you're worried they aren't going to win?" Je

48. “First place and winner of the 2023 Detroit Car show award goes to…" Darcel stepped forward with a smile on her face as she waited for her name to be called. “Salvador Group!” The chief judge announced, and Samantha was stunned. “What!” she exclaimed, her eyes widening in shock. “We won? We actually won?” she couldn't believe this. “I knew we could do this.” Aiden smiled. Samantha was so overwhelmed with happiness that she hugged him without realizing it. “Aiden, we did it!” she exclaimed and he smiled. Darcel's smile faltered, her eyes widening in shock too. “They won? How the fuck did they win?” “Samantha Salvador and Aiden Callymore, please come forward for your award!” Darcel's face turned red with rage as she stepped forward, her voice loud and shrill. “This is impossible! There's no way they could have won! I demand a recount!” The chief judge looked at her sternly. “I'm afraid there's no need for a recount, Darcel. The results are clear. The Salvador Group won fai

49.“You guys did it!” Linda exclaimed, embracing Samantha. “Congratulations!” she and Seth exclaimed at the same time.Samantha smiled and faced Aiden. “It’s all thanks to Aiden.” she said, and Linda shook hands with Aiden.“So, how about the next phase? When is it happening?” Linda asked excitedly.“Soon. For now, let’s go celebrate!” Samantha announced and Linda nodded.“You guys go ahead. I have something to take care of back in the hotel room.” Aiden declined, feeling a little exhausted.Samantha turned to look at him. “You're not coming with us?” she asked, her eyes narrowing slightly.Aiden shook his head. “I'm not really up for celebrating right now. I need some time to myself.” he forced a smile, but Samantha could see the look on his face. He was… tired.Samantha's expression turned concerned as she walked to him. “Aiden, you can't skip out on celebrating after that amazing performance. And besides, you need to eat something after all that stress. Come on, let's go get some

50.Samantha was able to escape Aiden's grip and crossed her arms as she stared at him. Aiden stared back at her, looking so innocent that she couldn't help but scoff. “How can you look so innocent after what you just tried to do?” she questioned.Aiden shrugged, his expression smug. “What? I did nothing wrong. What's wrong in trying to kiss my wife?” he asked and she snorted.“Kiss? Your wife?” she sighed. “Is that why you faked being exhausted? You're quite a good actor. I could see it clearly on your face and can't believe I actually fell for it.” she rolled her eyes and took a seat on the bed.Aiden smiled and walked to where she sat, bending to her level. “I'm actually exhausted, wifey.”Samantha scoffed. “I'm not your wife, sir. We aren't even married yet, and you're acting like this. I wonder what's going to happen after we get engaged.” she shuddered and Aiden couldn't help but let out a chuckle.“You're about to become my wife, so you might as well get used to me calling you

51.Samantha’s eyes fluttered open the next morning, and she sat up with a yawn. She stretched and turned to see that Aiden was still fast asleep. She stared at him, subconsciously smiling to herself as she watched him breathe evenly. He used to be the first to wake up, but he was fast asleep as if he hadn’t slept in days. She figured it could be due to the stress he had gone through as a result of this car show.‘What a perfect man.’ she wondered.Her eyes went to his lips, and she recalled what happened the previous day. She had almost wondered what it would feel like to have those lips…“Samantha,” she muttered to herself and facepalmed, feeling so embarrassed with how dirty minded she didn’t realize she was. Her gaze further went to his long eyelashe and the way it fell gracefully, and she couldn’t stop herself from admiring them.This was the second time she was getting a close look at him. Aiden was indeed a fine man in and out. She bit her lower lip as the little girl within h

20.Lucas walked into his Aunt Mary's hospital ward, his heart shattered into a million pieces. The beeping of the machines and the antiseptic smell filled the air, but his senses were numb. He stared at his aunt's unconscious body, her frail form a stark reminder of his own vulnerability.Tears rolled down his cheeks as he recalled Janette's words: "Leave, Lucas." The finality in her voice still echoed in his mind. He felt like he was drowning in a sea of regret."Oh, Aunt Mary," he whispered, his voice cracking. "I've messed up so badly. I've lost her. I've lost Janette."He pulled up a chair and sat beside his aunt's bed, taking her limp hand in his. The warmth of her skin was a faint comfort."Why did I do it, Aunt Mary?" he asked aloud, his eyes welling up with tears. "Why did I cheat on her? Why did I lie to her?"The memories flooded his mind: Janette's laughter, her smile, her tears. He remembered the way she used to look at him, with love and adoration. Now, that same look wa

19.Lucas turned to look at Janette, his eyes filled with hurt. When she told him she had a fiancé, she thought it was all a ploy to get him to leave her alone since she was angry with him. He couldn’t believe she really had a fiancé.Janette looked at him, her expression unreadable. Well… that served him right. He needed to know his place anyway.“Jane,” he called, his voice low and unsteady. “It’s really true? Tell me he is joking.” he looked at Liam, who had a smirk on his face.“Why do you need to know if it’s true or not? Isn’t it obvious,” he walked to where Janette stood and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. “She is going to be my wife soon. We are planning our wedding soon.”Lucas ignored Liam and faced Janette. “Tell me, Janette, tell me it’s not true.” he tried to touch her but she moved away from him.She intertwined her fingers with that of Liam and looked at Lucas. “It’s true, Lucas. Liam and I will soon get married.”Lucas felt like a thousand needles had just been

Marilyn chuckled darkly as she continued to pull Chloe's hair. “What does it look like I'm doing, Chloe?” She asked, the bitterness in her voice evident. “Wouldn't it be cool for Mr. Ethan to know that you were spying on him?”“Spying?” Chloe's eyes widened. “I wasn't spying on him. What are you even saying? Let go of my hair right now!” Chloe snapped at her. Marilyn smirked, pulled the hair one more time before letting go of it. Chloe swiftly turned to face Marilyn, her face holding nothing but the anger she was feeling right now. “What did you do that for?” she snapped, and Marilyn chuckled with her arms folded.“You were eavesdropping, so I had to put you in your place. Now let's hear what Mr. Ethan will have to say about it!” she snapped and didn't give Chloe the chance to talk before dragging her into Ethan's office, interrupting him and Alexis.Ethan raised an eyebrow.“Mr. Ethan, it would interest you to know that Chloe here was spying on you and your visitor.” she reported w

Chloe couldn't believe it. Her eyes scanned the variety of food displayed beautifully on the dining table. There was pasta with sauce and meatballs; he even added chopsticks which was her favorite cutlery for when she eats pasta, there was her favorite dessert and cheesecake alongside her favorite drink, strawberry smoothie.A soft music began playing in the background and Chloe felt like she was home. She could feel different emotions all at once; Love, gratitude and happiness. She couldn't believe Ethan went out of his way to do all these for her."Ethan, this is... Wow." she stuttered, her eyes shining with tears.Ethan smiled and led her to the table and pulled out a chair for her. "Sit down, my love," he said, his voice low and husky. Chloe sat down, her heart racing with excitement. Ethan took his place across from her and poured her a glass of strawberry smoothie. "I know how much you love this," he said, his eyes sparkling with love. Chloe took a sip, her eyes never leaving

She doesn't look happy, Easton. She keeps screaming and saying she wants out of here,” He replied, and I sighed, running my hands through my hair. “Can you tell me how you got the famous Nicole Brennan to become your wife?” He asked.“Let's just say we met coincidentally. She was drunk, I was in search of a bride, she proposed to me, I accepted and… here we are.” I narrated to him, and he chuckled, causing me to smile.Apart from Maven, Steve was the only person I could really open up to. He took care of me right from when I was a teenager. He has been my butler from when I was a kid, and whenever I went through a lot and asked him to find his way out of my life, so he wouldn't get hurt, he would always choose to stick with me. We've been through a lot together, and he knew my pains and how to help me manage them. He was like a father figure to me because he did things which my father refused to do for me.I'm lucky to have him.“But why did you accept her proposal? I know you to be a

The drive to his house was taking too long, and it was becoming boring staying inside the car and doing nothing. I turned to look at Easton, but he had a straight expression as he looked ahead.I sighed and tucked a strand of hair behind my ears. This wasn't how I pictured my life to be at all. I was supposed to be on my own, planning my revenge against those dimwits, but here I am, going to live in someone else's house as his wife. No one needs to tell me what can happen if this goes into the news.They'd probably say I seduced him and wanted to use his money to make a comeback.“Aren't we there yet?” I asked him.All I wanted right now was a place to rest my head and get rid of all these thoughts twirling in my head.Easton turned to look at me, his gaze softening. “What? Are you that excited to see where I live, wifey?” He asked and I became annoyed.“Stop calling me your wife, Mr. Easton.” I replied formally, but he shrugged and looked away from me.“You're my wife now, Nicole.

~SOPHIA’S POV~I gasped, my lungs burning as if they were desperate to burst free from my chest. Breath filled them like a tidal wave, threatening to drown me from the inside out. My chest heaved, straining against the weight of an invisible force pressing down on me. Panic set in, my heart racing like a runaway train.Suddenly, my eyes snapped open.A blur of colors and shapes swirled above me, slowly taking form. The first thing I noticed was his face – chiseled features, sharp jawline, and piercing gray eyes that seemed to bore into my very soul. Worry etched deep lines into his forehead, and his brows were furrowed in concern.Cassius? Was Cassius dead too? What’s going on?My mind cleared slightly, and I felt a mix of confusion and shock. I tore my gaze from him and looked around. The scent of medicine and antiseptic slid into my nostrils, bringing me to the realization that I was in a hospital. But how? What was I doing in a hospital when I should be dead? I’m sure I’m dead. Ro

My lips curved upwards immediately those words left her. I knew she was not going to refuse the offer, but I was still relieved that she met my expectations.In her eyes, I could see nothing but pain, sorrow, resentment, anger, and a thirst for revenge. The worst thing a man can ever do to a woman is to break her trust and her heart when all she had ever done was love him with all her heart and soul. Once that trust is broken, a woman can go to any length to make that man suffer for every single pain she experienced.Do not underestimate the power of an angry woman, thirsty for revenge.“I’m glad you accepted my proposal, Ms. Zander. Have a seat so we can go over the terms of the contract I have prepared for us.” I gestured to the chair in front of my desk and she sat down.“You knew I was going to come back to you, right? That was why you prepared the contract even before I said yes.” She looked at me, waiting for my answer, while I just smiled at her.Chloe Zander, she was always th
