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,
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 48. ACCUSATIONS
KATERINAWhat?What deal could he possibly be talking about?I pressed my ear harder against the door as if the action would help me hear any better. But they had stopped talking. Or rather, their voices had grown quieter.I pulled the door open loudly now, not caring for the circumstances as I stepped forward. I heard Vincent groan without turning back and the look on Kelvin's face was priceless. It was a clear picture of shock and then confusion, then finally, betrayal."What are you doing here, Kat?" He asked, starting to step forward but Vincent blocked his path in time, which caused Kelvin to turn to him with a raised brow and clenched fists."Step aside, or I'll mess your face up." He threatened, but Vincent just calmly answered,"Does this mean that the deal is off? I was just giving you my word.""Shove that word up your ass and choke on it. What is she doing in here, half-naked?" Kelvin thundered the question, directing it at Vincent, like I was not even there at all."Hello
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 49. A BREAK
VINCENTI travelled outside the country again for a month and a few weeks. I stood outside my new line of business with my Managing Director standing next to me. He would be the face of the business, and I would just lay low as the owner.We had produced a new line of alcohol, which we started out with our first drink which we had named; CENERS.I held a bottle in one hand and a stick of cigar in the other hand as we stood on the top floor of the building, looking down as my workers arranged the crates."We are all set for the launch tonight. You asked for a masquerade party. The dress code would be communicated. Masks would be a strict requirement for every guest." Kurt, my new Managing Director promised.I nodded, "Make sure everyone who enters the hall is an invited guest. The way tonight goes would tell if this business is safe in your hands or not."He chuckled, his bright, blue eyes sparkling as he assured me with a pat on my right shoulder, "You have the right man, Sir. I prom
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 50. WHILE HE DROVE…
KATERINAI smacked my lips, staring at myself for longer in the mirror.Was my dress too revealing for a welcome back party? It was a low-key event; I did not want to end up embarrassing myself while trying to look good.I wore a dress with a low neckline and a slit from the middle of my thighs to my feet. It was a semi-casual dress, nothing too serious.I had my makeup done and I had put on my favorite red lippie to go with. My cheeks had begun to get bigger, and these days whenever I stared into the mirror, I saw her more.This was not good.I used to be on the chubby side to an extent. I had to partake in a lot of exercises and intermittent fasting to get thinner cheeks and a slender figure. Lately, I had begun to add some pounds, and I blamed it on the excessive Chick-fil-A and snacks that Simon had been bombarding me with this past month.The man hardly gave two fucks about my daily complaints about weight. "Your ass is growing out too, don't you like that?" He would throw at me
