The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-14
014Eliaz's POV This couldn't be happening. This couldn't be happening at all. I wasn't an avid believer of bad luck, I thought of it as complete bullshit. If you wanted something, all you had to do was work towards it, and it would all work out. But just because a certain human might have elapsed in his calculations or planning , which led to his failure or things not working out, he decided to term it bad luck, or worse still karma. That wasn't even the worst part. Not only did he make himself believe that, somehow, he was able to spread the concept to the rest of the world. I didn't believe in bad luck, so why were so many bad things happening to me all at once? First it was the contract, then Mr Dumont, and now this? I scrubbed my face with my hands, hoping that things would go back to normal again, and by normal, I meant, Mr Dumont would have considered me, even if it was only part time. But even after scrubbing for a total of ten minutes, nothing changed and in that mom

015 Alora's POV “Breaking news.” The newscaster’s voice reached my ears the moment I tuned into the news channel. Even though she tries to maintain a neutral face as she stared at the screen, I could easily tell the emotions that ran through her mind. She was both scared and excited. Scared to ruin the Deutchmond’s reputation even more and super excited for the hot piece of information she had in her grip.“The Deutchmond's have been under thick surveillance in the past couple of years and just while they were on the verge of fixing their barely existent reputation, everything fell through.” She allowed a couple of seconds to pass before she continued. “Just recently, news articles have began to come up, highlighting the fact Deutchmond Corporation has record a downward tank in their investments. Insiders tell us that about fifty percent worth of the company's stocks and shares have diminished, all thanks to their investors pulling out suddenly.”“Is that what I think it is?”

016Eliaz's POV I couldn't believe my ears, not my life either. I'd always watched movies and read books that described the moment in someone's life where their world came crashing down. I couldn't exactly say I'd experienced it before, except now. I just did, and it wasn't an experience I would recommend to someone else. I felt every bit of oxygen seep out of every pore in my body. I lost my balance tempo, but at the same time I didn't see myself tumbling to the ground. Even if it did happen, I would prefer I was standing next to one of the windows on the second floor. That way, my death would be certain the moment I hit rock bottom. No way. There was no way this could be possible. Alora's words echoed loudly in my head with each passing second. I tried my level best to push her words aside, but no matter how hard I pushed, they came back with more force. ‘Come on, Eliaz. Think. Did you ever meet them? Ever hop on a call with them? Ever try to figure out their real identi

017Eliaz's POV I meant what I said the other day, it wasn't just an empty promise I'd made in anger. I was going to make sure she paid for it, and in the hardest way possible too. I mused, pushing away the thought temporarily. Alora and I grew up together, or more accurately put, we shared a good number of years together before we eventually got married. I had chosen to get married to her for two obvious reasons, my revenge and no matter how hard to prove it wasn't true, she had a big heart, one that was easy to manipulate and break into a million pieces. How then, did that same heart come up with a plan that was just as evil and as it was brilliant? I would be lying to myself if I said I hadn't spent all night thinking about it. I knew time changed people, but five years wasn't a lot of time to do that much damage to her right?The alora I had spoken to on the phone was different from the one I knew five years ago. Hell, she was different from the regal lady thanking the ent

018Alora's POV I sniffed in the fresh morning air, and it just had to be one of the best decisions I'd actually made all morning. I was giddy, so giddy you could even see it in my steps. “Someone's happy this morning.” Fredrick had chipped in the moment he walked in on me dancing all alone in my room. “Care to share the reason why?” Yes, we were married, but we both stayed in different rooms, just how I wanted it. When we'd moved back to New York, Fredrick had proposed that we started sharing a bedroom, but I turned him down. Whether or not, I'd done it politely, I wasn't sure. All I knew was, at some point, we'd come to a conclusion that we had some kind of access to each other's rooms. While Fredrick was always in my room and I didn't mind, I wasn't sure I went into his space too often.“I have no idea.” I smiled in response. “Well, then.” Fredrick grinned, before waking further into the room. “This is where I come in.” My breath hitched in my throat as he walked towards

019Alora's POV I had definitely offended the universe at one point in my life, I was just beginning to see the consequences now. Shit. I should have known Eliaz's presence here would ruin things, but why was he here in the first place? He had bid for the contract and lost, so what the hell was he doing here? I gulped, hoping that my unease wasn't showing through my calm facade. The entire conference room could be likened to a graveyard, with everyone's eyes daring someone else in the crowd to speak. But no one did. No one could.“Mr Eliaz.” Donald cleared his throat. The atmosphere was still tense with anticipation, but it was better than radio silence. “That's quite an objection. Can we know why?”“Isn't it obvious?” Eliaz snarled. “The reasons are glaring at this point.”“Please list those reasons.” Donald's patience had to be studied at this point. “And why now? Why are you bringing up your displeasure at this gathering?”“The auction couldn't have been the best place to e

020Alora's POV Even after everyone in the conference room had cleared, I still remained, my body glued to the swivel chair I had been offered. When I had first gotten into it, nothing could hear how soft and lush it was, but now, it was the complete opposite. Invisible pins and needles pricked into my back at every interval, but I couldn't bring myself to move. Whether it had to do with shock or disbelief, I wasn't exactly sure, but I just knew Eliaz was the cause. Eliaz. I should have known he wouldn't take my surprise lightly. I didn't remember him being this vindictive, so when did that happen? No matter how hard I thought about it, I just couldn't wrap my head around it. It didn't make sense, it didn't make sense for him to pull this stunt on me. Was it Cynthia? Had she somehow convinced him to do this? Even though I asked myself a million and one question all at once, it did nothing to stop the fact that I knew the answers to the questions. It was Eliaz. It was all

021Eliaz's POV I'd never been more glad wiping off the smile off someone's face. I always heard it was satisfactory, but this, I could bet my life that an English word to describe what I felt hadn't been invented yet. Time seemed to slow to a halt as I watched the expressions change on Alora's face. First came shock, and then a steely determination that I didn't exactly like. “You do know this is a lost cause right?” She called out, her voice as cool as a cucumber. “You have nothing against me….”“Yet, I just submitted a file.” I responded with a smirk. “I implore you to not judge from it's size, it's more efficient than it looks.” The woman in front of me parted her lips to speak, but pressed her mouth shut again. I liked to think that I had rendered her speechless but she cornered me just at the last minute. “I hope you know you're only digging your own grave, right?” She asked quietly. “it would be a shame to see you lose twice in a row.” “I think you have enough things

135Alora's POV Personally, I hated airports, and it made no sense because I wasn't sure my hatred was being spun by something specific. Yes, I loved the fact that it gave an avenue of some kind of escape, you could literally hop on a plane and find yourself on the other side of the world, and while it was beautiful to think about, I also couldn't ignore how noisy it was. All around me, people chattered as they moved about, pulling millions and millions of baggage with them. A lot of people were with their families, and I didn't miss how the younger children wailed, or couldn't help from wandering around the darn place. Like that wasn't enough, the annoying voice on the Public announcement system just wouldn't shut up. Where was she when I missed my flight? Thanks to her, I was going to have to reschedule my meeting, something that took me an entire month to book. Thanks to the hullabaloo with Elias and his wife, Fredrick and I had decided to move our focus onto something el
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 134
134Cynthia's POV I took a sip of the orange juice in my grip, before setting it down on the little stool by my side. Once that was done, I picked up the book I'd discarded earlier. It was a mystery thriller book that revolved round the murder of a wealthy business man and the many people involved in his death. I wasn't even done with it yet, but I could already tell who the antagonist was; his wife. While I was an avid reader of romance, I'd decided to switch it up today, why? I was simply feeling like it, and I couldn't shake off the feeling that maybe somehow, I was going to find myself in her shoes. If I didn't want to get caught, I was just going to have to be careful, and what other way to be careful than to gather hands on knowledge? A low smile grazed my lips, but it was far from warm. My eyes fluttered shut and apparently, that was the sign my mind needed to replay yesterday's events. I should have known something was wrong the moment I stepped into the conference
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 133
133Alora's POV I could feel the eyes of everyone in the office on me, and for the first time in forever, I actually liked it. Their eyes bored in my skin, and I could see so many emotions dancing in their eyes. What their mouths couldn't say, I made a quick guess of the many questions they had in their minds. What was she doing here? Wasn't she supposed to be back home with her bad husband? Was he really mad? Did she know about his condition as well, or was she shocked like everyone else? I could go on and on, but I decided not to. You didn't need to be a mind reader to be able to get a glimpse of people's mind. From their body reactions, you could already tell how they were feeling For example, Laura. She was sitting faraway from me, but with the way her fingers clasped around the papers on the desk, you could tell she was furious. A lot of the others whispered in hushed tones, while pointing fingers at me, but if there was one person who was strangely smug, it happened to
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 132
132Fredrick's POV I didn't want to believe it. Hell, I almost didn't believe it, but unfortunately for me I had a shit ton of photos in front of me for not to. Shit. Shit. Shit. When I'd headed out this evening, this was not how I'd expected my night to end. I'd gone to my usual hotel with Valerie, or whatever her name was, and I would be lying if i said it wasn't the best time of my life. Over the years, the key to having the best night with her had always been to switch it up once in a while. Whenever we were in the room, she was Alora, but with a little perks. On some days, she would dress up as a maid, or a stripper, anything I wanted. I would have her beg for my cock over and over again, while saying demeaning things to her. In that room she was my slut and mine alone and I got to fulfill all of the many fantasies I wanted with her. She never for once complained though. I tipped her a lot and she couldn't deny the thrill of sneaking around with the Eliaz Deutchmond. I
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 131
131Alora's POV I didn't leave that spot till I was sure Eliaz and his little side piece, had completely checked out of their room . Everything the guard had said was true and I didn't just confirm from him alone. In order not to look suspicious,I roamed the hotel group ds for a bit, making sure to not bump into Eliaz or his woman.The main reason I'd done that, was to gather more information and evidence. It was amazing how much information you could get just by tipping people. yes, my pocket had run slightly dry today, but I like to think it was worth it. I wanted for a full fledged ten minutes before driving out of the hotel. It was way past office hours, and if the many texts and calls that had been ringing up my phone meant anything, it was the fact that Fredrick was worriedDon't worry, Fredrick. I muttered to myself. I'm coming. Well sort this out. I promise. Thankfully, I got home in record time, but I did meet Fredrick standing at the entrance of our house. “Alora.”
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 130
130Alora's POV When I'd explained our proposed plan to Fredrick, even I had no idea what I was doing. It was just something I had come up with, and luckily for me, he went ahead with it. Whether or not it was going to work out, we were just going to have to find out whenever he got back today. As for me, since I couldn't exactly do anything else, I decided to do some snooping. What I would be snooping for or even where the hell I was going to start, I had no idea. All I knew was that I needed to find something as leverage over Eliaz and my stepsister, or else, I was going to have to kiss that contract goodbye. While it sounded relatively simple, there was still one question that hung loosely in the air. Where the hell was I going to start from? There was no way I could go back to the council, I doubt they would even give me another chance. I'd messed up all of the chances I'd been given in just a couple of days, and I wasn't sure they had any left. I also didn't want to go
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 129
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
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 128
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,
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 127
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.
