The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 122
122Alora's POV I'd never been more confused in my life than I was right now. My mind was a mess, and my emotions were all over the place, and like that wasn't already traumatizing enough, fate just had to spice it all up with a little drama out in the open. No, not little. The biggest drama I'd ever witnessed in my entire life. If someone had told me that what seemed like a perfectly normal and good day could easily morph into one of the worst days in my existence, then best believe that I would have laughed my asses off. Thanks to the lucky streaks I'd been getting, I liked to think that my days of bad luck were over. Or not. I pressed my eyes shut, just for a little moment. When the press release had gone well, and the ratings of the interviews I'd conducted were all five stars, I felt on top of the world. Literally. I told myself that nothing was going to top it all off, except finally getting the contract in my name again. I had no idea how much I'd missed it and how I

123Alora's POV I paced around the living room,. The sound of my footsteps slapping against the wooden floors bounced around the walls, and while I would have usually found that annoying, I couldn't exactly bring myself to care. I had bigger things to worry about. My heart dropped to my feet, and I fought the urge to curse out loud. It had been happening more frequently than I'd liked and I couldn't shake off the feeling that it was a sign that something bad was happening. Not me though.Fredrick. A shiver raced down my spine, and I crossed my hands around myself. I was nervous, anxious, and whatever word that could be used to describe how I was feeling, and I didn't like it. I wanted to calm down, to stop feeling like this, but how the hell was I going to do that when Fredrick was still unconscious? He'd been unresponsive since last night, and I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried. When I'd followed him yesterday, I'd kept an open mind, but never in a million years d

124Alora's POV You know those moments when you know what you're about to do is a bad idea and could potentially come back to bite you, but you still go ahead to do it anyway? That was the situation I was in right now . Was I going to regret it? Maybe. Did that reduce my zeal in any way? Not a chance. I found a parking lot as quickly as I could, before getting down from the said vehicle. For a moment there, I'd almost forgotten to lock my doors. On the one hand, I wasn't sure anything bad was going to happen. What if I didn't lock my doors, what were they going to do? Hot-wire my car? Probably. I let out a small sigh. I was fidgeting and rambling on about all the thoughts in my head, and if that wasn't a tell take sign that I was nervous, then I had no idea what would suffice. My heart slammed in my chest, and I really thought it would break through at any moment from now. If that was going to happen though, I really would have preferred if it happened when I had gotten to m

125Fredrick’s POV A groan slid past my lips as I finally stirred awake. My limbs hurt, and I could already feel a burning coming up at both sides, and I wanted nothing more than to curse mother nature. My head was on fire, and if I didn't know myself better, I would have said a group of monkeys had snuck into my brain, and started a band in there. It was banging so hard my ears were ringing. In fact, when I'd first opened my eyes, my vision was hazy, and I was left with just one minute to figure out if I was blind or not. Even after sleeping for hours, it did nothing to make me feel better and I hated it. But did you really sleep though? A voice whispered in my mind. I wouldn't say he was wrong. I hadn't been able to sleep a wink since the doctor did whatever he did to bring me around again. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful, but a small part of me really wished he didn't do all that he had done. He could have delayed a little longer, or given me an extremely high dosage. A

126Alora's POV Growing up, I'd heard what they referred to as the walk of shame, but I couldn't exactly say I had experienced it before. The ones who said they had in fact experienced it, I told myself they were simply exaggerating and there was no way it could be as bad as they made it out to be. I was wrong. Freakishly wrong. I gulped, but it did nothing to push down the shame and guilt I'd been harboring since I left Deutchmond enterprises. It was a lot if I was being honest, and I really didn't see it going away any time soon. It was here to stay, unless I did something about and Eliaz and his wife would stop rubbing it in my faces. Right now, none of them seemed the least bit possible. A small sigh slid past my lips as I ran a hand through my hair. The drive home was eerily quiet, save for the occasional car honks once in every ten minutes. The roads were deserted, and I couldn't help but laugh at the large contrast of held, opposed to the state of my mind right now.

127Alora's POV Fredrick going in and coming out again wasn't the plot twist I saw coming, at all. When he'd turned his back to me, I really thought it was over, and I'd decided that if he didn't come back, I would let him be, before finding a way to salvage the situation. I had no idea how I would have done it, but best believe I was more than grateful that he'd decided to come around. We sat in silence for what seemed like the longest time. If I was in any way correct, it had been approximately thirty minutes since he sat down, since he last spoke. Now, thirty minutes later, he still hadn't said a thing. I was anxious. It was eating me up and it made me wonder how he would be feeling inside. I wasn't the one about to explain something that was probably traumatic, and here I was panicking like I'd shot someone. I sucked in a deep breath, before letting it out again. From the corner of my eyes, I watched Fredrick sitting to the side, and my heart broke into a million pieces.

128Fredrick’s POV Talk it out, they said. It'll make you feel light and a hundred times better, they also said, but I never believed. I really just thought it was another load of bullshit people had come up with. Until I got to experience it myself, that is. When Alora strolled back into the house last night, best believe that had to be the biggest shock of my life. Honestly, I thought I was going to have a heart attack just by staring at her. Yes, she'd been gone for a while, but I didn't expect her to be back so early. Perhaps if Henry hadn't shown up, I would have gone back to bed the moment I realized she was nowhere to be found. But no, he just had to rear his ugly head and ruin things for me. Literally. If I hadn't said it before, or if it wasn't so obvious, I hated him. With every fiber of my being too. I always knew Alora was an angel, but last night, she'd proven it to me. Heaven knows I half expected her to lash out at me yesterday. She had every right to though,

129Fredrick's POV I needed a drink, and it wasn't even noon yet. My head was a mess, and it didn't help that my phone had been blaring up since I peeled my eyes open this morning. I honestly thought it was good news. All thanks to the stunt Cynthia and I had pulled the other day, it was only normal that we anticipated a little bit of good newsNo, scratch that, a whole lot of good news. They'd started rolling in around six am, with a lot of potential investors rooting for us s d trying to get on our side once the contract was handed over to us. It was a certainty at this point because only Alora and I were the strongest contesters, but now that she was out of the picture, it automatically meant I was getting it. All I needed to do was be patient, while the council decided. Like that wasn't going to help me in any way. It paid to have one of the council members on your side, and to make his decision making a bit easier, I'd launched a new team to go online and create awarenes

148 Alora's POV Chatters filled my ears from every corner, but I couldn't bring myself to care. I'd always hated noises and really loud places, but I think it was safe to say I'd made a big exception today. Today, I wanted to focus on what all of them were saying. Why? I had two reasons. One, I needed to know what everyone thought about me. Two, it was a welcome distraction from the tornado swirling around in my mind. Things had been a mess since I woke up two weeks ago. When I'd first opened my eyes at the hospital, I honestly wished I didn't, because it looked like everything I'd worked for had gone down the drain. Cynthia and Eliaz's marriage was still flourishing and Henry could be said to have the upper hand. To the public, we were still referred to as the mad couple, even when we were the victims ourselves. I'd wanted to charge out of there and make an irrational decision no doubt, but Fredrick's words were enough to pull me back. She thinks you're dead, Alora. His w

147 Cynthia's POV A small smile made its way to my face as I said the black pair of sunshades down my face. It wasn't exactly a particularly sunny day, but I wasn't going to let that spoil my plans of relaxing in the open. It was one thing to relax, and another thing to relax in the comfort of your home, with no issues whatsoever, no rivals, and definitely no stranger trying to ruin all you've worked hard for. My smile didn't leave my lips, even as I reached for my glass of pineapple juice sitting on the table next to me. I reveles in how cool it was as it slid down my throat, cooling me from the inside out, and also reminding me that life really was a beautiful concept, so long as things were right in your life. Whoever had come up with the saying There's always light at the end of the tunnel was right, all I needed to do was find my light, and coincidentally, it meant snuffing out someone else's light. Alora's fucking light. It wasn't news that we didn't see eye to eye, an

146Alora's POV A low groan slid past my lips as I slowly peeled my eyes open. I turned, just to come in contact with the soft surface of what seemed like a mattress. It was comfy, but it still did nothing to numb the pain that shot up my spine and entire body. Pain couldn't even begin to describe how bad what I was feeling. My entire body was on fire, and I felt like one wrong move was all it would take for me to finally meet my creator. It was a surprise how I wasn't even dead yet, or was I? Suddenly, the thought of being dead didn't exactly sit well with me, and before I could second guess what I was about to do, I jerked up immediately. Bright light poured into my eyes, and I pressed them shut again. A massive throb formed all around my head, and I couldn't help but let out a gutteral cry. “Easy, Alora.” The sound of my name reached my ears. I recognized the voice immediately, and I would be lying if I said I didn't feel any better. “Please open your eyes. Just take it e

145Alora's POV Revenge was a dish best served cold they said, what they didn't say was exactly how it tasted. It was pure bliss, and the shock on Cynthia's face confirmed every bit of it. Silence settled between us, bit it wasn't enough to hide the tension that simmered underneath. It was tiny, but I felt it grow with each passing second. Whole I gave my sister time to process what had just happened, I decided to take in my surroundings. The hallway wasn't anything special, just a long line of doors with doors that looked too alike. The walls were painted a cream color that I could swear looked nice before, but now, it just made my eyes hurt. I'd almost gotten lost, and if that had happened, then I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself. When I woke up this morning, trailing Cynthia was the last thing on my mind. In fact, right from the day before, I was so stunned that I had no idea what I was going to do with the results. The DNA results had come back positive, with b

144Cynthia's POV My heels clicked with every step I took, but I couldn't help but be bothered. In fact, I liked how they clicked against the tiles so violently. I was mad, and I wasn't even going to bother hide it. If my peace was going to get constantly disturbed, then so was everyone else's. I slung my bag over my shoulder again, before adjusting my stels. I'd been doing that since I arrived at this damn place, and it wasn't helping. My phone beeped for the umpteenth time, and I let out a groan. Immediately, I ignored it, but my groans only increased as the phone kept on beeping. Who the hell could that be now? I knew who it was, and the fact that I knew,only increased my anger. I pulled out my phone, and just like I suspected, it was him. Henry. I stared at the phone in my hand. It rang and rang and rang, but I couldn't bring myself to pick it up. After so much internal debate, I finally succumbed. “What is it?” I yelled into the phone immediately. “Why are you consta

143Alora's POV I'd never been more tensed up in my life, than I'd been in this exact moment. Well, maybe not quite. Deep down, I knew I'd used that phrase more times than I would like to count, but right now, I liked to think it was pretty normal. I was a big bag of nerves and it didn't help that nothing I did to stop it or calm myself down was working. Oh good lord. I pressed the bridge of my nose firmly, before lowering my head a bit. I was previously reclining on one of the hospital benches they'd offered us, and while it was comfortable in the beginning, I couldn't stand the cold seeping into my back and bones. I tapped my feet anxiously against the ground, not wanting to make any noise, and at the same time , trying to keep my mental health in check. Just because I was anxious and on the verge of losing my mind didn't mean I had to inconvenience the others around me. We were in a hospital for heavens sake, and it was none of the patients fault that I was going through
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 142
142Alora's POV Time seemed to slow to a halt, as I tried to figure out what to do next. My mind whirled with a million and one things, but none of them seemed even the least bit reasonable. So far, my mind had come up with running away and simply pretending like Cynthia didn't exist and wasn't behind me. None of them would work and I knew it. There was no way I would be able to bolt, I had barely gotten what I came here for, and if I decided to ignore Cynthia, I wouldn't put it past her to cause a scene. A huge one too. “What do you think you're doing?” Cynthia called, her sharp tone pulling me back to the present. “Just explain to me what the hell you're doing here.” I didn't move, neither did I speak, not because I didn't want to, but because I was still torn on what I was going to say. Think, Alora. Think. Unfortunately for me, I didn't even have any time to do that. One minute I was still deliberating on what I was going to do, and the next I was being yanked upwards b

141Alora's POV I adjusted my hat, just so I could stop any ray of sun from slipping through. I wasn't a big fan of the outdoors, so best believe that if I had a chance, I wouldn't even be here. I knew I didn't, so what did I do? I pressed my lips into a thin line, while forcing myself to enjoy the view. If I was being honest, it wasn't too bad. My only annoyance was the fact that it was way too sunny, despite the weather forecaster saying we were going to have a cool and almost rainy day. I'd been in the park for the past hour and some minutes, and I wasn't exaggerating when I said I hadn't seen a single cloud in the sky. It was all sun and sun, and if I hadn't brought out my sunscreen, I probably would be melting by now. A small giggle was all it took to pull me out of my mini rant. I was miserable, yrs, but apparently, all I needed to pull me out of that foul mood was a glance at the little bundle of joy just standing a couple of feet away from me. A little girl not olde
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 140
140Alora's POV I couldn't believe my ears. The words echoed in my head and all around me, but no matter how many times I heard it, I just didn't want to believe it. It sounded too bad to be true, didn't it? “Henry..” he stuttered, clearly breathless. “Henry's the father of Cynthia's child.” When I'd rushed home to tell Henry, I wasn't exactly sure what I was expecting. The little boy and his refence to Henry was surprising, but right now, I was flabbergasted, or whatever word that could debote the highest level of surprise. I knew Cynthia was a shrewd woman, but cheating, that was where I kind of expected her to draw the line. I pressed my eyes shut, and memories I didn't want to remember came rushing at me. The main reason she and Eliaz had actually gotten together in the first place, was because she had snatched him away from me. It was pretty obvious the reason she did that was to spite me, but with how long they'd lasted, I actually thought there had to be a tiny bit of
