Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 13. RETURN OF A FRIEND
VINCENT "So.. what was that about sharing space with me? As much as I recall, I have been of perfectly good behavior since I stepped in here. I mean, you invited me in yourself." I spoke, settling even more into the couch I had chosen to sit on. It was soft, yet firm. It was standard. Her whole house was an expensive standard. The place did not have much decorations to it, just like mine, and it was exquisite. White walls, luxury lightings that took the shape and make of real diamonds, marble tops and furniture. The flooring was marble too; the shiny Carrara style. The house was huge and spacious; even more expensive than it looked from the outside.. and the outside looked magnificent. Katerina Montego was truly a spoiled princess, and for some reason, I considered such an intellect being beside me as my Queen. Kelvin shrugged at what I had said, going to sit on the Y-shaped couch across me. "Well, for starters, you walked inside even after I told you that she was not in yet
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 14. ABOUT GRACE
KATERINADa'ana was the first to rush to me on sighting me at the entrance. She was dressed in a beautiful midi length gown that stopped at her knees and hugged her curves perfectly, matching her beautiful grey eyes too. Her hair was beautiful and styled to perfection. She had makeup on too, with her signature red lippie on, which always made her look like an enchantress of some sort.Was it just me, or had anyone else noticed that wicked women were always the prettiest?"Oh, you came! Gorgeous as always, I have no idea why you and my son dislike each other, you both would have made a great couple and powerful teammates!" She recommended, taking my hand in hers. It took plenty willpower and a reassuring look from Kelvin to keep my hand there.It was probably all in my head but I could not deny the fact that it burned. I hated this woman with my being and I just knew that even if it was with my last breath, she would go down and pay for all her sins.The entire city would know Da'ana
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 15. WELCOME, SIMON
KATERINA Da'ana found me as soon as I reentered the hall. Kelvin was about to walk up to me, probably to ask if I was okay, but she beat him to it, taking my hand. His face twisted in a frown as he glared at her. "You were gone for a while. My son, the latest doctor, just arrived. He would be joining us soon." She told me. I nodded.At least one good thing for the night. I really couldn't wait to see Simon. Would he recognize me under this makeup and haircut? And if he did not.. what next?Da'ana took my hand and we finally moved towards one of the tables. She insisted I joined her at her table and showed Kelvin to a different one for other guests.He was not very pleased with that, but I shot him a pleading look, which caused him to take a deep breath, before leaving us alone."He seems to want to be around you all the time." She noted. I nodded. "He does. Kelvin is my… he's family. It's complicated." "Hmm. I see." She shot a look at his direction, her face twisted in a frown, be
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 16. DOES HE REMEMBER?
KATERINAI held his gaze. I could not look away all of a sudden. It was like everything else had stopped, and we were only able to see each other.Well, until he decided to ruin it by shaking his head and then he looked away, focusing all his attention back to the crowd."Sorry, I got a bit distracted. So, as I was saying…" Simon trailed off, but I could no longer concentrate. What was that? I could not even look at Kelvin in that moment because I knew without a doubt that he would be staring at me with the most disappointed look in his eyes."I knew one of my sons would pick interest in you. I mean, did you notice the way he stared? I know that look too well.. I know my sons, and I know when they want something for themselves." Da'ana revealed to me.She was such a liar. If any mother could bag an award for not knowing a thing about her own offspring, it would certainly be Da'ana. She had been away from them for a while and only returned few years back, after her male sponsors abando
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 17. RIVALRY IN EFFECT
VINCENT"I do not understand, brother." Simon spoke with a confused expression on his face, wiping sweat off his face and neck areas. "What do you mean if I saw someone or anything familiar last night? I just returned for the first time in four years. I mean, everything looks a bit new to me, and granted there had been sone changes but of course, I recognize some things." I watched him keenly, disappointment visible in my tone as I asked, "Did you talk to her? Katerina Montego?"He nodded, his face lighting up in a smile at once as he went to get his bottle of water from one corner of the gym. "I did. Of course, I did. I walked in with her, remember?" He enquired.I nodded, waiting. At this point, I barely cared about the damn workout, but my brother was already checking out another workout machine.It was a private gym located in my house, and so no one could interrupt us here."She is a nice woman. Hot, too. I mean.. extremely hot. I am sure you have checked her out a couple of ti

KATERINAVincent looked the calmest I had ever seen him, but that was a very dangerous kind of calm. I mean, I had experienced it first hand. "Have you both been here long?" Mollie asked, immediately picking up the menu. I had only talked to Mollie on the phone… video calls, normal calls and texts… I had never seen her in person.In person, she was every inch of the princess she was made to be. Her skin was the first thing that anyone would notice, and when she took off her sunshades on getting here, I could not stop staring at her lash extension set. Clean, and perfect for her glowing face.I felt like dropping the whole business talk for a minute to ask, 'Girl, who is your lash technician? And what mapping is that?'Her body looked like it had been touched up in some areas and her doctor did an amazing job. A lot of people, mostly men would not be able to tell.. at all. She was extremely gorgeous, blond, and obviously in her early twenties.. having so much money to invest in busine
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 19. “VENT WINES”
KATERINAAfter the incident, I began to make plans on how to start producing white wine just so we could be ahead of Vincent and his team on that… gain some upper hand.I passed by the Winery on a cool evening, watching as the grapes were harvested, pressed and fermented to make our first batch of white wine. The idea had come to me at first, but for some reason, I had chosen to simply make red wine and leave the white wine out. I had decided to just add beverages instead.. what was I thinking?I was too engrossed in the need to make him pay that I felt like I needed to copy exactly what he was doing and try to top it off in my own way.I walked up to one of the workers, returning the smoke she sent my way as I approached her. She looked like a mother. She had wrinkles prominent on her forehead, and she had a worn out dress on.A couple of other people who worked in my wineries dressed like this. They consisted of people from poor provinces who just wanted to make a living and were m
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 20. CARTELS
VINCENTI had just closed the deal with Mollie. I found her a white wine company—Vent Wines. The company was my possession as well, but not all of our investors needed to know that.James was in a good mood, reading the contract over and over with a grin on his face, "You are such a genius. She must have thought she would be getting away with a 50-50 contract. Glad you put her in her place." He gushed."I'll always put her in her place. I offered her a deal to leave this place before I ruined her, but she decided not to take it. It was a stupid choice to make on her part. She would soon realize just how stupid it is." I said, having a small smile on my face.Two knocks resounded on the door, and then a male figure walked in, his head bent. I could even hear his sniffing from where I sat. His hair was cleanly and completely shaven, bald… like he had gotten into a bad barber situation and had agreed to just shave it all off because of a silly mistake.James turned around and on seeing h

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.
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 154. WHAT KEVIN WANTS
VINCENT"I feel like I cannot leave this bed even if I tried to." Katerina groaned and I smirked, turning back to face her."Same. I think you would not be able to walk throughout today. After what that pussy had to go through last night." I muttered, and she was quick to chuck a pillow in my direction, and I chuckled, letting it hit me as I turned my face to the side."You're such an animal in bed…" She whined, trying to sit up, her cheeks pink with a blush. I stopped to stare, my cock hardening again as I watched her. So fucking gorgeous, I always wondered how I was lucky enough to bag her again…Those brown eyes peered up at me through her thick lashes, and I could jog help walking over to her to plant a kiss on her lips. She let me, placing a hand on my naked chest while the other hand held the duvet tightly over her tits.I laughed, pulling away from her lips as I looked down, "Why are you hiding my girls from me?""Because you get hard faster than I snap my fingers and this tim
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 153. DOUBLE CELEBRATIONS
KATERINAA MONTH LATERThe energy in the room was electric. Owen’s business launch had pulled in a crowd and the air buzzed with excitement and the hum of conversation filled the grand hall. New York City sprawled in glittering lights beyond the tall windows, adding to the glamour of the night. All these did not still sit well with me. The mafia men starting up businesses just to cover up their tracks which consisted of money laundering, drug trafficking, murder and so much more. However, Vincent had recently explained his reason for joining the mafia after swearing off it all his life. There was really no way out, so I had to learn to deal with all these… at least, for him, and the sacrifice he made to keep me safe.Standing near the bar, I sipped my champagne, scanning the crowd until my gaze landed on Owen’s girlfriend, Mae.At first, I did not fully recognize her because I had only seen her in pictures, but then I looked more closer, I realized it was truly her. She was all curls
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 152. SAVED BY THE STICK
KATERINAShe missed.Whitney missed the shot by one tiny inch and just as she aimed to shoot the second time, a stick slammed into her head from the back.The gun dropped from her hand and fell with a clatter to the ground. I saw the moment that the blood started to drip down from the side of her head and her eyes drooped almost shut. Whitney fell to the ground in a heap and I looked in front of me to see Vincent finally making it to where I was crouched in a sitting position. I placed my both hands either sides of his face, crying hard. Everything that was happening just did not make sense to me. It was true that I wanted to hurt him in the beginning, but now I just could not stand seeing him like this. My heart broke in pieces just looking at him while he seemed so helpless, so pale, like he could just pass out anytime soon.The room still spun with smoke, thick and suffocating, the scent of burnt wood and fabric searing my lungs. My mind barely registered what had just happened—on
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 151. TRYING TO ESCAPE
KATERINASmoke filled the room, thick and suffocating, the heat growing unbearable. My throat burned with every breath, and my chest felt like it was about to collapse from the pressure. I could hear Vincent struggling, his body tense beside me as he worked to cut through the ropes around his wrists. The flames crept closer, inching toward us, consuming everything in their path."I'll get it. I'll get it, firecracker. We will get out of here." He swore while he kept struggling to loosen himself.I felt the tears sliding down my cheeks, but it wasn’t the smoke that made me choke this time. I thought about how close we’d been to ending all of this madness, to finally being free. But now, trapped and helpless, every second felt like an eternity ticking down to an end I wasn’t ready to face. Panic clawed at me, making my heart race wildly as I pulled against the ropes that bound my wrists, desperation filling every fiber of my being.Finally, with one last, fierce yank, Vincent broke free
