Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 129. THE DEBTOR
VINCENTShe had been acting weird, and all of a sudden, I was no longer interested in Owen's task. I just wanted to get this whole thing over with and get out of there."Where's the house?" I asked him, not hiding the impatience in my voice in any way. Owen raised a brow."Hurrying somewhere?"For some reason, I did not think I wanted to tell him about Katerina and I's hideout, or how we had gotten closer by the day or anything concerning her, in fact. The lesser he knew, the better for all of us.I shook my head, "I just need to get home early. Lay my head. I've been working for straight three days without sleep. I need to crash." I even offered a small smile, but from the look on Owen's face, he was not buying it. He did not say anything else about it though, we just trudged towards the house we were supposed to carry out the job.It was the debt Owen wanted to collect. Apparently, he wanted to quit this part of his numerous dirty jobs, just because he had fallen in love with a stri
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 130. TRUST ISSUES
KATERINA"Hello, Sir! Hello?!" My legs hurt as I ran after a guy that I saw walking along the empty street I was walking towards. He turned back briefly but kept walking, and I had to run faster to catch up with him.I sprinted down the abandoned street, my breath ragged, heart pounding louder than the echo of my footsteps. The air felt thick, heavy with dust that stirred around my feet, rising in little clouds as I ran. Every step was desperate, frantic and my eyes were locked on the figure ahead. My backpack was becoming too heavy to endure already, but I had to keep going.He was moving fast, too fast. A shadow slipping away just out of reach, his jacket flapping slightly in the breeze. I wanted to scream at him again to stop, to turn around, but my throat was too dry. Vincent said keeping my in an area like this was for my safety? He might have meant it, my subconscious defended.I shook my head. The text I’d seen—God, I couldn’t shake it. Mafia. A part of me wanted to believe th
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 131. BOSS’S SINS
VINCENTStaring at her panicked, big brown eyes—even if her body stayed stiff in an effort to pretend like she was not scared—my anger towards her dissipated to a good extent. At the moment, I was only pissed at the fucker who held her by the neck.Paying for the boss's sins, in this case, paying for my brother, Owen's sins was part of the package that came with being in the mafia. I had expected it, but at the same time, I had hoped that she would have nothing to do with it.I did not know the man standing before us in any way, but for some reason, he had a vendetta against me. I would not hesitate to shoot him in the head if he thought he could threaten me like that."Let her go. Face me." I spoke calmly, but he just scoffed."I said that to your brother, he looked me in the eye and shot every single one of my family members, despite my pleas." He retorted, but I was already done with this. I pulled the gun out of my holster and cocked it. Katerina jerked in his arms, looking petri
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 132. SHOULDN’T HAVE
KATERINA I was too quiet, too overwhelmed with guilt, that I eventually slept off in the back of the car, my head filled with thoughts of how he was doing, praying deep within myself that nothing happened to him.I woke up the next morning in my bedroom, and the guilt hit me again. Harder, this time. I swallowed, resting my head against the headboard with different thoughts swirling in my head. I checked the table for my phone but did not see it.I recalled walking inside here but not too well, I recalled taking off my bloodied clothes and taking a hot shower where I scrubbed off the blood and dirt. Then I changed into soft, cotton pyjamas and retired to bed.All that seemed like a dream now, the only evidence being the PJs I had on me. The memories seemed like a blur, and I hadn't even been drunk."Where did they keep the backpack?" I asked no one in particular, looking around in search of it.I had wanted to call him, see if he was alright. I had no idea how work was even going too
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 133. THE TEMPLE OF SIN
VINCENT "I cannot believe you actually want to come out to this place. You never come to places like this. If I did not know you too well, I would say you were too religious for this place." James teased, sitting beside me in my car while I drove. I did not respond to him, keeping my eyes on the road instead. "What's eating you up, friend? I feel kind of betrayed that you would not share with me." He sulked, but I was barely in the mood for a chitchat. Almost two weeks had passed since the incident and I had met her once—two days ago—at a summit. She had eye-bags under her eyes and looked tired, like she was not getting enough rest or sleep. Katerina looked like she had lost a little weight too, and when she stared at me with those sad eyes and tried to smile at me but I turned away before she could finish the expression. I had barely been able to stay away. It was like she was doing everything to get close to me, but I kept avoiding her, moving away, because at least, if I wan
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 134. CAUGHT
VINCENTWe both wore our masks and James sighed as he stared at his phone in his hand."My girl won't stop calling. Almost like she knows I am at the wrong place." He muttered, looking too guilty to even be in this building. I scoffed."You know you can go back if you want to, James. Your loyalty to me does not extend to my… extracurricular activities. Okay?" I told him, and he just slipped his phone into his pocket."I did not just come here for you, Vince. Sorry to actually burst your bubble. I'm here to cool off too, like you are. My relationship is on the rocky side too." He swallowed, looking like he wanted to say something but at the same time, could not bring himself to say it."But she has been calling you…" I started, then paused to think, "Meaning she was the one who fucked up, wasn't she?" I questioned and he just answered with a shrug, moving towards the curtains so we could pull it open and start watching the circus like we initially came here to do.I did not push it fur
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 135. RUN
KATERINAThe cool night air brushed against my face as I sat on the sand, legs pulled close to my chest, staring out at the dark water. The moonlight shimmered across the surface, casting a silvery glow that seemed to stretch infinitely into the horizon. I’d come here to clear my head, to escape the endless grind that had consumed me over the past few days. Work had taken over every part of me, and I hadn’t realized how badly I needed to breathe until I found myself here, at the edge of everything.I had spent the first few minutes on arrival on crying my eyes out. I missed Kelvin, no scratch that. I really, really missed Kelvin.His funeral held weeks ago and it was the saddest thing ever. Reina wasn't there. His sister, Whitney was not even there either. Actually, I did not want her to be there. I did not need negative energy at Kelvin's funeral; I mean, I could not be thinking of killing his sister at his funeral.So yeah, it was just me and a few of his colleagues at his funeral,
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 136. KISSES
KATERINAThe sand shifted beneath my feet as I ran, breathless laughter escaping me with every step. The night air was cool against my skin, but the warmth of the chase made my heart race. I could hear Vincent’s footsteps behind me, steady and deliberate. He was playing with me while at it, letting me think I had a chance.The people at the beach watched us and some laughed heartily at our display, but all I could focus on was the sound of his pursuit. I glanced back—his dark silhouette cut against the horizon, broad and powerful. I turned back around before I could be distracted by his handsome physique, increasing my speed.“Keep running, Katerina,” Vincent called out, his voice smooth, but with an edge that sent a thrill down my spine.I pushed myself faster, even if the sand vehemently fought against me, slowing me down. My lungs burned, and my legs felt weak, but I couldn’t stop the grin that stretched across my face. I knew I couldn’t outrun him, not really. It was only a matter
