The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 138
138Alora's POV I honestly thought the pastries were going to help, why? While I stood rooted in my spot, I'd seen a couple walk in here. They were young and the lady looked really down, same as her boyfriend, but the moment they walked past me with a steaming plate of whatever it was they ordered, all it took for his girlfriend to sport a bright smile was just seven minutes. Yes, I counted. As for her Boyfriend, his reaction was when faster. He was all better in less than four minutes. Four minutes! That was a record I never knew could be broken until now. If the pastries really did help, then why was I still confused as ever, even after downing my order a good twenty minutes ago? I stared down at my plate. It was empty, and while I would admit that it tasted really nice, why didn't it make me all happy instantly? It has worked for them, so why was I the exception? Was mine going to take longer because I was alone? Or perhaps it had to do with what they had ordered. What if I

139Cynthia's POV I pressed my lips together, careful not to make sound. It wasn't that important, but any slip up right now could mess things up and that was the last thing I needed right now. I'd stressed so much, thought about it so much that I was certain I was going to run psycho at some point, but since that didn't happen, there was no way I was going to let my plans fall through at the last moment. Never. I wrung my hands together, before casting a small glare at the staircase. It led to our bedroom, but that wasn't what stood out to me. It was the fact that it was empty that made my heart boil. Where the hell was he? .I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose in frustration. I was tensed up, and Eliaz wasting my time was only worsening matters for me. What the hell was he still doing up there? I had timed his movement perfectly, and by now he should be well on his way downstairs. So what the hell was keeping him for so long? Cynthia?” Someone called from behind me,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
