Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 40. THE PURSE
KATERINAI rescheduled the meeting with Simon, even if I was still super embarrassed on how exactly to face him after what had happened in Vincent's room.Not only did I enjoy Vincent's touch, I realized that I craved it.The moment he threw me on that bed, all I could think of was the possibility of him touching me. And here I'd thought that the part of me that craved physical touch like that was dead. For the past four years, whenever a man tried to touch me in a sexual manner, I developed a sudden panic attack and ran for the hills.With Vincent I had begged for more. Kelvin would have my head if he ever heard of what was going on between Vincent and I; something that needed to stop.Good thing he was going to be away for sometime; in that time I was going to figure out my way around this whole thing. Definitely.Simon and I would be meeting at an open park—not the one that Kev and I initiated our big fight, of course—it was where he would be telling me how he found out and all.
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 41. STIKE A DEAL
KATERINAAfter telling him everything, we decided to part ways so he could make his decision on what he wanted to do with the information.The next day, I decided to tell Kelvin about what had happened, and of course, the first thing he suggested was 'taking care of Simon.'"We are not hurting Simon, Kelvin." I stated matter-of-factly, and he groaned."In less than three days, it would finally be a week since Vincent left the country. I do not know how but the news about the wine poisoning has gradually begun to die down. This must have taken a lot of damage control. It just goes to show how much power Vincent has. I mean, how did he get those wealthy people that were affected to just throw the whole thing under the bus?" He asked, sounding scared. He had every right to be. I was scared too.Everyone was just sweeping the matter under the carpet like it had not even happened in the first place.It just went to show how much power Vincent had in the society; we needed to do more than t
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 42. NOTHING TO GAIN
VINCENTWe had just returned from Spain; James and I, and we were already on our way to our first press conference after the incident, eager to make things right.The scandal had started to die down, and for a reason. I had spent so much money compensating the affected families. A loss that ran into billions of dollars. I had not come up with a means to make Katerina and her sidekick pay yet, but I just knew that my clap back would cause drastic issues for them.In the moving car, James filled me in on what had been happening while we were away, "She had another wine tasting event. It went well. According to blogs, she salvaged herself."He turned to me, looking as confused as I felt."But you said Maggie did not touch the wine supply. You said she had nothing to do with that?" I shot at him and he nodded."Yes! She had nothing to do with the white wine being bad. I interrogated her many times on this and she confirmed every time, that she knew nothing about the whole wine issue." Jam
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 43. KARMA’S HELP
KATERINAEverything was going according to plan. With Vincent, Da'ana, even with Whitney.We were getting along more and more, to the extent that she had started to tell me about her everyday activities. I just needed some more trust and then I would strike.Without blowing my cover, still.With Whitney, what I wanted to do was simple. The exact same thing she did to me. Get her kidnapped and beaten within an inch of her life, after which I would dump her in the middle of nowhere to her fate. The only difference with this plan and what she actually did to me was that I had no intentions of killing her. I had no intention of having blood on my hands.Whitney had no idea what was coming at her.Currently, while I typed away at my laptop's keyboard, I had to admit that Whitney was not exactly who my mind was stuck on lately.It was none other than the exact person whom I should absolutely not have on my mind, not when he was the same person I had an ongoing vendetta against.Groaning, I
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 44. BAD DRINKING HABITS
VINCENT Once again, my mother had proven to be a liability in my life. As I watched one of the videos circulating the net, gulping down my second drink for the day at 10am, I wondered why I had allowed her back into my life and publicized her to the world, even. The headlines were terrible, it was like they had been constructed by the most unfeeling journalists in the field. One minute, the world adored you and the next, everyone treated you like shit. One of the blogs had even written their caption like thus; THE POWERS FAMILY INVOLVED IN YET ANOTHER SCANDAL. HOW MUCH MORE SCANDALS UNTIL THEY ARE COMPLETELY CANCELLED? "Canceled," I scoffed, getting up on my feet so I could walk to the tall window in my home office and look out of it. "Like hell, I can be canceled." This was all happening because of one woman. She entered my life and bad luck followed suit. It was like I was paying for my sins, but if there was any sin I could think of paying for, it was one that involve
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 45. OTHER OPTIONS
KATERINA The front doors opened to reveal Kelvin standing inches away from it in the hallway, looking confused at first as my bodyguards dragged Vincent inside.I stopped in my tracks behind them, holding his gaze for a while before finally taking a deep breath and walking inside, returning my butler's welcome with a thank you."Take him upstairs, to any of the free guest rooms. Thank you." I instructed the guards and they went away promptly.Turning to Kelvin who held a Starbucks cup in one hand, I asked with a raised brow, "You're having a Starbucks drink this late at night? Odd."He tipped his head towards me, "You brought an archenemy to the house. Even odder." I sighed, rolling my eyes, "He would have gotten beaten up to death if I left him there, or gotten himself into something worse. He was completely wasted, Kev.""Well, good for us!" He stressed, walking towards me. Oh God… I really wasn't looking forward to an argument with Kelvin right now. The guards came back downstai
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 46. CAN’T STAY AWAY
VINCENTBig, brown eyes stared back at me, foreign compared to the jet black ones I was used to seeing on her face.And from the way her eyes moved as I studied her quietly, I confirmed that these were her real eyes. The realization left me with mixed feelings; on one hand I fucking loved her real eyes and thought that they complimented her face more than the fake ones, on the other hand, I could not help but wonder what the fuck she was truly hiding.Katerina eventually pushed me off her, my hands falling from her mouth and waist at the same time. She moved back a few inches, breathing a bit faster as she stared back at me.I have her a once over that lasted longer than a usual one should have. Maybe because she was wearing some red, skimpy night dress that had a dangerous V-neckline and stopped way above her knees. The color of the clothing complimented her pale skin and eyes so well.. she looked so fucking gorgeous. She had no business being here, dressed like this. Not with her ni
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 47. SAYING NO
KATERINATears ran down my thighs at his confession, and God, did I want him too. But this was the last slice of what was left of my decency, and I would never give it to him.. no matter how good he made me feel.I might be a little weak when it came to Vincent Powers, but I was still that young woman who was continuously wronged by the same man.Shutting my eyes for a few seconds, I allowed myself to feel the last bits of pleasure that came from his hands all over me, and then I finally found the strength to do what I should have done weeks ago when this whole situation first started."Get off me!" I whisper-yelled, still super conscious of Kelvin, pushing him off me with a powerful shove that barely removed him from me.He looked half-surprised, half-hungover, staring at me under his lashes with a brow raised in question.I got away from him and with my eyes still fixated on his, I arranged my night dress and cleared my throat before getting up to my full height.He got up after me,
