Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 1. THE DIVORCE LETTER
'A divorce letter lies within this document. Do well to sign it.' Grace read the sentence over and over with shaky hands, and even if she wanted to welcome the presumption that this was some prank and this letter was not really sent to her by her husband, she knew she would be lying to herself. Throughout her 23 years of living, she had not met a man who was more formal in every single thing, than her husband—Vincent Powers. So, she continued to read the letter, whilst also trying to control the rapid beating of her heart. 'You will be settled handsomely for the years wasted. Fifty million dollars and a villa in any American state you choose. Your cars belong to you, as well. All three of them. Remit the letter back to James as soon as you are done with the signing. In conclusion, you have seven days to vacate this premises.' Grace's jaw dropped as soon as she read the last line. "What?" She whispered to herself, still drenched in disbelief. She lifted herself off the b

Grace held the sink as she threw up virtually everything in her stomach, until she could taste acid on her tongue. Wow, great. She thought to herself. Falling sick just when she had to clear her room. She knew Da'ana would definitely make good of her promise, so even with her eyes struggling to focus, she managed to leave the bathroom, meeting Simon at the door. "I'll help you clear your room." Simon told her at once, wrapping his hand around her waist as they stood side by side. Grace's eyes watered. "Aw, man, what would I possibly do without you?" She whispered, throwing her arms around him. He held her close for a while with a grin on his face, "Absolutely nothing, mate. C'mon, let's go." Then they pulled away from each other and began to head towards her room. While Whitney and Da'ana engaged in a conversation where they laughed on top of their voices, Simon helped Grace pack her things, doing everything in his power to cheer her up as he did. The minute they wer
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 3. THE ABDUCTION
"So sorry ma'am. I didn't know.." Tania kept apologizing, and Grace continued to tell her, "It's not your fault.. it's my favorite food, you could not have known that I would throw it up because of some stomach upset. Come on." She sighed, cleaning up the last bit of the mess before apologizing again and heading out. Grace went to wash her mouth, watching herself in the mirror for some minutes, before her gaze traveled to her stomach. "Please baby, would you let mommy eat? You don't want me to keep anything down?" She questioned, then continued, "I have to run a test today, I have to keep something in my stomach.. I'm feeling really dizzy already.." She smiled at the mirror. Maybe this was good. Grace knew it was too soon but she could not wait to hold her baby. Even if she had gotten pregnant on her very first sex and she still felt too young for the baby, she could not help the attachment for her unborn child which she was growing day by day. She loved him or her so
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 4. GONE FOR GOOD
She lost consciousness after that and when she woke up again, she was in severe pain, but her thighs were being caressed, by not one pair of hands.. but two. It was still dark, so she assumed she had passed out for only a few minutes or maybe hours. Grace could not open her eyes, still. She was in so much pain and it was like her brain thought that opening her eyes to it would make things a lot worse. ".. I will go first. You can go for it after I have left my cum inside of her." A sinister laugh followed. Grace could not fully understand what they were talking about, but she managed to open her mouth and plead, "Please, help me. I know you have no reason to, but please. I will pay you whatever amount." Her voice was hoarse and nearly unintelligible, but the men understood her. And they laughed at her. "With what money? Whitney already took your settlement money.. or she is taking it as we speak. So tell me, how do you intend to pay us? And did you forget that you cannot as

YEARS LATER GRACE ~NOW 'KATERINA MONTEGO' "Uncle… you have to eat something. I will not leave until you have had something to eat. Your doctor would be here anytime soon. You have to be strong to be able to receive treatment." I begged, but he was not having it. "Rina, darling. It is just a matter of days now, maybe hours before I pass. I appreciate you for trying all you can to keep me alive, but the time is ticking faster. I wish I could be here to watch you win. To watch you finally get the revenge you deserve against all those that wronged you.. against the ex-husband that sent you off to be killed—" He paused to cough violently and I immediately retrieved the glass of water on his bedside table and fed it to him as he sat there on his bed, resting against his headboard. "We can talk about my revenge later, uncle. Now is not the time, you need to get better." I tried to smile at him as I took his hand in mine. He shook his head no, his eyes weak as he gazed into min
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 6. KAT. WINES
VINCENT"Kat Wines? Hasn't this person heard about the fact that we own this territory? Why would he or she go ahead and build a head company anywhere near us?" My assistant, James, queried. I was in no mood to reply. I could not care less about the launch that we were invited to… or rather, the one that I was more specifically invited to. And most certainly, I could not care less about yet another foolish rival.I only cared about the fact that whoever it was had been given a fighting chance.So it was my turn to ask, "How come you were not aware of this situation? Because that is the only explanation, seeing as that company was allowed to see the light of day."I leaned back even more against my chair, but I was not watching him. I was focused on the document in front of me, using my fingers to flip the pages absentmindedly."In truth, I knew. I thought it would not be much of a problem. I warned them, did everything to keep them away, used all the tactics. They still stayed, and e
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 7. WARM WELCOME
KATERINA I was not prepared for this. I thought I was, but looking him in the eye now, I realized that I was totally unprepared. I had overestimated my strength and unfortunately for me, this was only the beginning. "Grace?" He called out and I froze, totally unprepared for that hit. Well, at least, not so fast. We stood there looking at each other for what seemed like unending minutes, until I finally broke the stare and opened my mouth to counter what he had said, but the words seemed stuck in my throat. "What the hell did you just call me?" I eventually asked, my voice a little shaky, which I tried to hide. "You look different. Wrong. But sometimes when I look at you, I—" I cut in at once, before he got more ideas that could ruin this, "My name is Katerina Montego, daughter of the Late Mr Montego, who was one of the biggest business moguls in several countries. Maybe you know my cousin? Maybe you are referring to him.. because people do say that Kelvin and I share some
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 8. MEETING
VINCENT"You mean she flat out asked for war right to your face? Has she been living under a rock all this while?" James queried, pacing up and down my office. "Looks and acts like a fighter. Intrigued already. Maybe I should allow her around for sometime." I responded and James turned to look at me like I was crazy.And perhaps I was crazy. It was just a while since I had allowed some drama in my life, and there was something very, very intriguing about this woman. Katerina Montego; sounded just right for her, and the same time, very wrong.Maybe she could stick around just long enough until I figured out what it was with her, or until I got bored."Do you understand the implication of keeping her around, Sir? Sales will begin to stop, stat." He reasoned, but I was too far gone in my plan."I have other chains of businesses. Minor losses will not cause me to go bankrupt overnight, James." I stressed, and he looked like he wanted to speak again, but sighed and just went to take a sea

EPILOGUE KATERINAForever 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 over and over again, I
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

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.
