Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 119. “THANK YOU…”
KATERINAThe moment Vincent led me through the rusted metal doors of that warehouse, the cold air hit me like a punch to the gut. The space was dimly lit by a few flickering bulbs that cast long, eerie shadows against the concrete walls. I could hear the faint drip of water in the distance, the only sound breaking the suffocating silence.I froze as the overwhelming scent of damp and old metal filled my lungs, and my heart pounded in my chest. The air was thick with tension, and I couldn’t help but feel trapped. My hands were clammy, and a wave of nausea washed over me as I saw the two men, bound and gagged, sitting slumped against a far wall. The sight of them brought back everything. The fear. The helplessness. That night. My breath quickened, and for a moment, I couldn’t tell if I wanted to run or scream. I looked at Vincent, my mind reeling. I didn’t know whether to feel grateful or terrified by what he had done. Every inch of my body tensed as a mix of anger and fear rose in my

KATERINAWhen we got home that afternoon, I needed him. I needed to be cheered up, I needed someone close to me, inside me…Vincent did not have to be told with words. He grabbed me and ravaged my lips as soon as he had me in his arms. He fucked me over and over until I passed out, unable to take anymore.The next day, I had a plan, I had to go visit Kelvin. He would definitely have an explanation for all these, I thought. I wanted to hear him out, whether he wanted to see me or not.I walked into the hospital, the sterile smell of antiseptic clinging to the air. My heart was pounding in my chest, louder than the quiet hum of machines in the background. Kelvin was here—recovering from the car accident—and I was here for answers. I still couldn’t believe it. A restraining order? After everything we had been through? After he hid the fact that Whitney, the woman who had tried to kill me twice, was his sister? The betrayal cut deep, the trust shattered into pieces I wasn’t sure could ev

VINCENT"You distribute drugs now too?" James' eyes were wide in shock as he asked me and I had to glare at him; a reminder that we were still at work and anyone could hear us.He reduced his voice, looking around briefly with a guilty expression on his face."I don't. Not particularly. I communicate with Owen who is apparently the boss and he dispatches the drugs to my warehouse and some other men in lower statuses come to pick up and…" I trailed off, realizing it was the same thing, anyways.James scratched his beard, leaning back against his chair now whilst staring at me.I sighed, "I signed a deal with the devil, James. It should not be so surprising that I am recruited to do the devil's dirty work."I rapped my fingers against the table as I thought about her reaction to this. If James judged me this bad, how would she react, finding that I was associated with murderers and drug dealers?I thought about the last time we had been in bed together. She was addictive. It was like im

KATERINAWhen I finally stirred awake, the world around me felt heavy and strange, like I was caught between a dream and reality. My eyelids fluttered, sluggish, as though they weighed a hundred pounds each. The first thing I noticed was the darkness—the evening had settled in, leaving the room dim, with only faint traces of light creeping in from the window. My mind was foggy, thoughts slipping away before I could catch them, and for a moment, I didn’t know where I was.Then it hit me.Panic flooded my chest. I shot up too fast, my head spinning violently, and had to grab the edge of the bed—was it a bed?—just to steady myself. A deep ache throbbed in my temples, and my limbs felt like they weren’t mine, like I was moving underwater. My mouth was dry, my throat raw, and a sickly sweet taste lingered in the back of my throat. My muscles were stiff, sluggish, as though I’d been in this forced sleep for far too long.No matter how I looked around, I could not quite pinpoint where I was.

VINCENT"Wow, wow. So the man K thinks is her fighter is nothing but a sleazy drug dealer who perhaps just wants to be on her side for money in one form or the other? I wonder how she would take this news once it gets to her." Sawyer pondered with a smile on his face."I will tell her in my own time. Do not be stupid and bring more harm to yourself in the process." I told him with a frown, and he looked like he was thinking for a few seconds, then he burst into laughter."What was that, a threat? You should not be making those. I am the only one in the position to make threats right now, so do not be stupid." He snapped at me, seeming angrier now. I thought about one person—Katerina. My whole body itched to know if this was about her. I had been having a bad feeling about the way she had not been picking up her calls since."Calling me names will not be tolerated, Sawyer as I am not beneath you. You will not speak to me as you please. I have to be on my way, so if you have nothing of

KATERINA"Come back here, you slut!" I heard Reina scream from behind me and I picked up my speed, almost at the door now.Adrenaline pumping through my veins, I dragged the front door open but I had hardly stepped one foot out before my eyes came in contact with not one, but two bulky men in front of me. I swallowed, moving back a few steps.The both men turned around to face me, confusion swirling in their eyes, and then their expression turned to steel. One of them checked behind me and when he did not see anyone, he thundered,"What the hell are you doing out here?" He questioned, stalking towards me. Shaking from fear and determination to leave this place, I checked on both my sides to see if there was any weapon I could use to take them down but I couldn’t find anything.I was so close. The front door was right in front of me, even if the guards looked stiff and indifferent, as if I wasn’t even a threat. My heart raced, and I could feel Whitney and Reina closing in behind me, bu

VINCENTShe was mute all the way to my house. Even while we packed up because I decided that we were leaving to somewhere more private. I had a luxury apartment located in the middle of probably nowhere… kind of like, a province area, and I decided I would take her there.We could lay off steam there for a while, and then return afterward to continue from where she stopped. If she wanted to.I made her eat before we went anywhere. She could barely walk and her eyes were sunken. I fed her when it seemed like she had lost strength to do even that, and she ate off my hands, devouring the meal like her life depended on it.Technically, it did.One of her assaulters had died from internal bleeding as James had reported, I remembered. It was Fred.I had no clue when the time would be right to break that news to her but I knew it was not going to he anytime soon. She looked subdued, tired, and no matter how many times I had asked her to step aside while I sorted out her clothes, she paid me

KATERINAThe luxury apartment Vincent had whisked me away to was perched on the edge of nowhere. Surrounded by rolling hills and endless skies, it was the kind of place that felt completely detached from the rest of the world. No business deals, no corporate empires—just silence, interrupted only by the occasional breeze rustling through the trees outside. It was peaceful, idyllic, a far cry from the life we were both used to.And yet, even in this sanctuary, I couldn’t turn my mind off. My thoughts kept wandering back to my revenge plan, to the people who had crossed me, and the power moves I was supposed to be making. Vincent had somehow convinced me to take a break. To lie low, to let the storm pass for a moment. It was infuriating, in a way, that he knew exactly how to get me out of my own head. Vincent was now leaning back against the headboard, the soft morning light framing his sharp features. Even here, in the intimacy of my bedroom, his presence was magnetic—his jaw set, his

Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 163. MARRYING MY FIRST LOVE
EPILOGUE KATERINA Forever and a long ass day; that was how long I wanted to be with Vincent. It was finally happening today, our wedding, and I was the happiest bride. Ava stepped into the suite where I was getting my makeup done, all dressed and looking every bit of the princess she was, and I could not help but fight back tears. Within the past few months since she got here, she had grown so much. She was so beautiful, looked happier now and more healthy. I loved this child so much… She had a single rose and a box in hand as she walked towards me and I shook my head, my smile refusing to leave my lips, "Vincent, right?" I questioned. She nodded with a wide smile, "Daddy asked me to give this to you, mommy." Yeah, she called out me ‘mommy’ not too long ago, and has not looked back ever since. With a grin on my face, I took the gifts off her hand and then tore the box open to reveal a blank cheque which read; THANK YOU FOR MARRYING ME… AGAIN. And I would do it o
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 162. ACCEPTANCE
VINCENTI could not believe what I was hearing. That fucking nanny had almost killed my wife-to-be, and her death was made that easy? I could not let my driver take the wheels on this one, I took hold of the steering myself, heading straight to the hospital I had been directed to.Katerina was not picking up any of my calls and I hated it. I wanted to know how she was doing, how my daughter was doing too. I wanted to make sure they had not ingested that fucking poison in any manner. If by any chance that poison had gone down any of my girls' throat, next believe I would be killing that bloody woman all over again.The drive to the hospital was long as hell, but I finally got there and practically jumped out of the front seat, heading straight inside the building.The moment I walked into the hospital room and saw Katerina sitting there, alive and well, I felt like I could breathe again. There she was, her face pale and tired, yet still the most beautiful thing I had ever laid my eye
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 161. NANNY?!
KATERINAThe house was quieter than usual that night, and I was starting to get that uneasy feeling again.I sat in the living room, reading a book while waiting for Ava to finish kissing her nanny goodnight so we could go to bed together.Vincent was out for the night handling some business, and I was left alone with Ava and the domestic staff. That's when I heard it—hushed voices from down the hallway. I couldn't make out everything, but the tone caught my attention. It was sharp, scolding. The words became clearer as I stood and crept toward the kitchen. "How could you mess this up, Ava? I told you to make sure she ate the eggs, not the chicken!" Her nanny hissed. "I—I thought she ate everything. I saw her do. I didn't know." Ava's small voice quivered, her words barely audible through the door. I could not then laugh at her little grammatical blunder at that moment, as I froze where I stood, my stomach twisting into knots. The eggs? What was she talking about? "Your mommy
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 160. “NO!”
KATERINA "Can I speak to mommy on the phone?" Ava asked quietly, looking up at me with desperate eyes. This was not the first time she had asked it, and it broke my heart for her that I could not give in to her request. "Sweetheart, I told you many times… mommy is out of reach. You cannot speak to her yet, but you will, I will take you to see her one of these days. I promise." I did not care if Whitney wanted her to see her like that or not, they'd have to meet, I decided. "Alright, K. Thank you." She muttered. The nickname always filled my stomach with butterflies. Fun fact; she had come up with it herself. In fact, she had requested to call me that. Though I secretly hoped she would eventually call me mommy, I decided to make do with this. We sat there while she colored on a new drawing hook I had bought for a while, until the smell of roasted chicken wafted through the room, and I looked back, noticing the nanny walking towards us. I almost moaned in relief. Finally. "So
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 159. “NEED YOU BOTH..”
KATERINAWhitney refused to tell us anything more after that. We stood there, threatening her with all manner of things, but she never budged. She just sat there, smiling crookedly and laughing occasionally.I finally convinced Vincent to leave there and we both went home, hoping to figure out what exactly Whitney meant with everything she said about Ava ourselves.This morning, I woke up in his arms and peered up to see that he was awake already, focused on his phone. He had wrinkled lines in his forehead and dark circles around his eyes, and I could not help but feel a twinge of worry for him.The man had been working so hard these days and somehow, I knew that it had something to do with what Whitney had said about his child.Ava was acting… well, she was still detached from her father but she was every bit the bubbly child around me. Her nanny lived with us now, and continued to take care of her, in better living conditions… it was what she wanted, and she had been very grateful.
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 158. QUESTIONING
VINCENT I slammed my car door shut before I went over to the other side to open up for Katerina. "Thank you," she muttered, looking as eager to see Whitney as I was. She looked even more eager, but then again that was probably because the woman literally wore her emotions like a sleeve. We walked briskly inside the prison walls without really saying anything else to each other; we had talked enough on our way here. It was only when we were getting to her cell, that Katerina turned to face me, telling me, "I am going to let you talk to her. You are the one who is mostly affected by this, I would let you question her and whatnot without any interruptions but I also want to say stuff to her too, just so you know." She informed me, and I nodded, not wanting to say anything in response at first, except that nod, but after a quick glance at her face, I could see the desperation in her eyes for me to be okay and just like that, I just couldn’t keep to myself any longer. I threw m
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 157. CHILDHOOD TRAUMA
KATERINA"Oh God, Ava!" I cried out as the little girl bolted away from the living room as we all had reacted too slowly because of course, no one had expected that from her.Vincent was the first to run after her, and also the first to recover from the shock. He was behind her in no time, and I was next, followed by the nanny.Luckily, the butler was quick enough to stop her. Ava was crying and kicking in his arms, demanding to be set free, but he was not having it."You aren't going out of here without adult supervision, woman!" He yelled, but she was not having it."Let me go! My mommy will hurt me, she says he's the bad guy, I cannot be around him, please…" She continued to cry. My heart broke in pieces for her. What kind of a mother was Whitney for crying out loud? "Your mother hurt you, and you still think your daddy is the bad man?" Vincent blurted out and I pinned him with a look, but he did not spare me a glance, his eyes were still transfixed in his daughter who refused to
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 156. MY CHILD
VINCENT Katerina pulled the door open for me, mumbling to the butler, "Never mind. I got this." And then she smile widely at me after opening the door, wrapping her arms around my body in a tight hug. Her smile was nervous as fuck, as if she had something to tell me, and I knew that she did. A child was in here, at the living room. I had peeked through the surveillance, because my girl sounded nervous as fuck and I had to know what was making her like that. It was either that or me storming out of the meeting I was in. There was a nanny with the little girl too. She was claiming that the child was mine, and Whitney was her mother. But how the fuck did that even happen? Katerina pulled away from me, her face twisting in an offended frown, "You don't want to hug me back?" She started to step aside, but then my hand gripped her waist and I pulled her to me with force so her body collided with mine. Katerina gasped, then burst into a fit of giggles as I planted kisses al
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 155. AVA ‘JACKSON’
KATERINA There was some commotion outside the front door. I had just heard it as I got out of the bathroom, trying to prepare to go shopping at the mall for a few essentials since I did not have work today. I ended up just throwing on Vincent’s T-shirt and a pair of shorts before heading downstairs to see what the noise was about. The noises grew louder as I approached the door and I pulled it open at once on reaching it. When my eyes met with a little girl's with her dark curls falling softly around her face, clutching a worn stuffed bunny, I almost thought she’d stopped at the wrong house. But then I noticed her eyes—a striking, familiar gray. The same piercing color that belonged to Vincent, with a touch of softness that reminded me of Whitney. Next to her stood a woman, exhausted, holding the little girl’s hand firmly, as if afraid she might lose her any moment. Our butler was asking questions, his gaze shifting between the woman and the little girl with polite suspicion.
