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
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 51. A TALK
KATERINAI got down from the car after Simon, my eyes on his ever as I shut the door.Vincent looked as perfect as ever, filling out his suit pants and jacket. He had cut down his beard that had started to grow out to a stubble, causing him to look even more mature now, with his hair cut down a bit too and tamed carefully on his head. He almost looked completely clean, well until I noticed the cigar on his right hand. I frowned at the sight. Did he ever go anywhere without a stick of that?Simon came to stand beside me, pulling me out of my thoughts. He had both hands in his pockets as he greeted in a nervous tone,"Hello brother. Sorry for coming a bit late. Had to pick her up." He pointed at me, taking out one hand."I leave town for one month and you become my rival's designated driver. Interesting." Vincent replied and I rolled my eyes, already expecting his sassiness.He stepped closer before Simon could say anything else, obviously catching the eye roll. I swallowed. "Give is a
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 52. TELL THE TRUTH
VINCENTI watched her laugh with my brother, and I struggled to keep still in my seat. I had chosen to sit differently from them, with James, so I watched from a distance.I heard James speak beside me, "Surprising how they quickly became friends in such a short while.""They have been friends before now, or at least, acquaintances. The surprising thing here is the level of closeness. I do not trust her. She might try to use my brother against me. As we speak, he probably works as a spy for her. The fool and my mother are alike in one way; the manner in which they are easily manipulated. I would not be surprised in the least if he is planning my downfall along with her. I only wonder why." I spoke, with my eyes still focused on them.James hummed, "Do you plan on confronting him about it?""Definitely." I sat up, arranging my suit, "Right after I give my welcome speech." I tapped James on his shoulder twice, then stood up to my feet and started towards the stage.I climbed the stage a
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 53. BODY, MIND, SOUL
KATERINAWhen Simon returned from his 'meeting' with Vincent, I was too impatient to wait for until we were on the way home, so I took out my phone from my clutch and I texted,ME: ~ Hey, what's up? What was that all about? ~I turned to glance at him right after sending, seeing that he picked up his phone after it had lit up, only to place it right back after a sigh, looking back up at the stage. Confused, I turned to his mom to see if she was paying any attention to us, and when I confirmed that she was not, I elbowed him.He turned to me with his face still set in a straight expression and I asked in a hushed tone, "Is there a problem?"He shook his head, "We'll talk later. And I'm sorry, I cannot drop you off anymore. Don't worry, I would explain everything when we talk later."There was a moment of hesitation but I eventually nodded and sat there uneasily, glaring at Vincent who no longer paid me any attention as he passed from time to time."My driver is here. He'll take you ho
Ruining My Billionaire Ex-Husband 54. BLOOD FOR BLOOD
KATERINAI eventually walked out on him after a dirty glare, even if my heart was racing fast.The driver was already in the front seat, pretending to be oblivious to everything that had happened outside. What if he had choked me to death? He was just going to sit here and pretend he did not see anything happen?The thought caused a lot of a flashbacks to re-emerge in my mind and I fought to stay in the present but lost. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I thought about history repeating itself again. This just showed how much of a devil Vincent was, and I swore, I was going to bring him down with my own hands.He thought he had reinforced, and he was one or two steps ahead of me. Oh, only if he knew… I thought to myself.I stayed at the backseat, crying silently until I got home. And here I thought he was the only one who could not trigger my trauma; it was always okay with him. But I guess I had hard limits.At home, it was lonely. I really needed to talk to someone, so after retiring

VINCENT "We have been following your brother—by we, I mean.. the investigators have been following him and I just take the reports. His calls and texts are being tracked as well. There has been contact between him and Katerina. Okay, well, there has been some contact, but only from Katerina's end, he has never replied.." James updated me as I pounded my fists into the punching bag in front of me over and over. Beads of sweat trickled down my naked upper body to the hem of my shorts and I blinked as a single one trailed down, into my left eye. "And has he met her once in the last week? It's been almost two weeks since the party. There must have been a couple of meetings. I asked to know the details of those meetings." I informed him and he replied, "They have not met." There was a moment of silence where we looked at each other with the look in my eyes simply saying, 'Be fucking for real..' without words. He sighed and went on, "I know. It was hard for me to believe at
