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,

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
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 137. DA’ANA’S PAYBACK
KATERINAWe got home together and he fucked my brains out like he promised, but left my bed before I woke up.I walked to the mirror after brushing my teeth and taking my bath, staring directly in my eyes, recounting my newest plans.Da'ana was coming back to town tonight, and I planned to pull a string or two to embarrass her in front of everyone she had invited for her welcome party.I wanted to do a big reveal. She resented to know who I truly was now, didn't she? I did not tell Vincent about my plans because I did not know if emotions would try to fuck everything up.She had invited Vincent and I. Before I fell asleep, as if I knew that he was going to leave the next morning, I asked him if he was going to be there for his mother's welcome party. He promised to be there if I was.The little things…I smiled, walking down to my bed just as a knock resounded on my door. I turned around and started to walk towards it, wondering who it was since I had not requested for anything from m
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 138. THE WELCOME PARTY
VINCENTI arrived at the event hall, already regretting my decision to come. The hall itself was over the top—just like my mother. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, spilling light onto the gleaming marble floor. White and gold drapes cascaded from the walls, and tall floral arrangements, bursting with roses and lilies, lined the edges of the room. The centerpiece was an elaborate display of her name—Da'ana Powers—in gold letters, draped with ivy and soft twinkling lights. Her brand launch, which was disguised as a welcome party.Of course, it had to be something that screamed for attention.I made my way through the crowd, nodding mechanically as her friends—glossy, air-kissed women in designer gowns—swooped down on me with their greetings."Vincent! Darling, look at you!" One of them cooed, air-kissing both my cheeks like she’d known me my whole life."You’re so much like your mother!" another chimed in, her voice syrupy sweet.I forced a smile, nodding politely, though I co

VINCENTI sat beside Katerina and she took my hand in hers, still smiling. It was like she could not stop smiling, and I could not stop staring at her. That smile looked amazing on her face, her scary. What in the world was this woman up to now?The hall buzzed with anticipation, the kind of tension that builds right before a show starts. People milled around, sipping champagne and making small talk, glancing toward the stage where my mother was set to make her big entrance. The murmur of conversation filled the air, a mix of curiosity, gossip, and excitement. Katerina sat close enough that I could feel the warmth of her arm against mine even as I held her hand, though we hadn't said much since finding our seats. I glanced over at her after looking around for a couple of seconds—almost a minute—taking in the way she casually held her glass, looking serene while the room buzzed around us. But she also looked different. Good different or bad different? I had a feeling we were about to

KATERINA"This is what you've been planning…" Vincent did not ask, he simply stated it, and I just answered his question with a brief smile in his direction."Why did you not inform me?" He asked, sounding offended. I sighed, finally pulling my eyes away from the spectacle in front of me which consisted of Da'ana looking for where the video was being projected from, and then it just started being projected on different walls, then the crowd going crazy and her cousin bawling her eyes out."I did not inform you because she is your mother. I do not trust that you would not be emotional when it comes to your mother in stuff like this. Also, I could handle it myself." I answered. He nodded."When have I ever given you the impression that my loyalty lies with my mother and not with you?" He questioned, looking really disappointed. I shrugged."Years ago. I do not like repeats."His expression was blank but I could tell that I had struck a nerve. I swallowed, facing forward and trying to fo

VINCENT"Katerina! Katerina, stay with me. Are you okay?!" I yelled in her face, shaking her furiously in an attempt to wake her up. Her eyes peeked open and I realized just then, how tightly she had been shutting her eyes.I pulled her up properly and she blinked, placing a hand on her ear as she looked around with her chest heaving up and down from the way she was breathing fast.The atmosphere in the hall had shifted in an instant. One moment, the crowd was buzzing with anger and bad wishes for Da’ana, and the next, chaos erupted. I stood frozen, trying to control my heartbeat as the sharp sound of three gunshots rang out, cutting through the chatter like a knife. The crowd, previously vibrant and full of energy, froze in shock before erupting into panic.Guests screamed, their faces pale and wide-eyed, some dropping their glasses, the champagne spilling like a torrent on the polished floor. People stumbled backward, pushing against one another as they tried to escape, their rants

KATERINAOne minute, I was walking and the next minute, I was swept off my feet in bridal style and rushed towards Vincent's car. Vincent shoved me into the backseat of the car with an urgency I had never seen in him before. He barely managed to close the door before snapping at his driver, “Go. Now!” The car jolted forward, and I grabbed the seat, my pulse pounding as the city lights blurred past. I could feel Vincent’s tension radiating beside me, his hand gripping the edge of the seat. “Vincent, what’s going on?” I asked, trying to make sense of his panic, but he didn’t answer immediately. He kept glancing over his shoulder, out the rear window, and it was then that I realized with panic that there was a car coming after us."Vincent!" I said again, louder this time. He finally looked at me, and there was something in his expression that made my stomach drop.“It’s her,” he said quietly, his voice tight. “My mother’s following us.”I didn’t understand at first. Why would Da’ana b
