The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-20
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

022Fredrick’s POV A sigh slid past my lips as I flipped the channel. A sports channel came on, but just before I could get the least bit excited for it, i realized I'd lost interest. “Next.” I droned on in a monotone, aimlessly flipping from one channel to the other. “Next.” A small surge of frustration filled my insides when I realized there was still nothing to watch, even after going through at least ten different channels. If anything, the more I swiped, the worse the options became. What the hell? My frustration grew to its peak as I abandoned the TV entirely. I wasn't exactly a big fan of the big screen, but there was nothing left for me to do today. I'd completed all my tasks at the office and given my assistant a half day at work too. The rest of my plan wasn't ready to be set in motion yet, so there was no way I could rush it. With literally everything on my to-do list done and checked out, what exact eas i supposed to do?Alora. My subconscious filled my mind i

023Alora's POV If someone had told me this would happen, then I would have simply laughed in their faces that they were being delusional and had no idea what they were talking about. Over the years, I'd guarded my heart so heavily that nothing could penetrate, no matter how hard they tried and it had been working, it so I thought.I'd practiced being stoic to things that would previously make me feel emotional,and I had swapped my overroy emotional heart, for one wrapped up and decided with steel. It had helped me become who I was today and now that I thought it was going to hold it's weight, it fell through. I couldn't exactly pinpoint the remote cause of it all, but I broke down. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that Eliaz was out to ruin me or perhaps it could be likened to the fact that Fredrick had easily noticed my foul mood and opened his arms for me to run into. I didn't want to, but that gesture was all it took me to snap. I buried my face deeper into his

024Eliaz's POV I couldn't remember the last time I was this happy since Alora's arrival. My grin seemed to widen with each second that passed by, and that wasn't even the best part. Amidst all of this, the real fun was yet to begin because Alora had no idea what was coming for her. By the time I was done with her, she would have no other choice than to come crawling back to me for forgiveness. She and Fredrick both.With a satisfied smile, I pushed the thoughts of my ex wife away from my mind. I was more than aware of the little thoughts that lingered, but I pushed them aside nonetheless, before taking a quick sweep of my office. Nothing has changed, except the high stack of papers in front of me. Usually, or more specifically, ever since Alora came back, my desk had been particularly empty, why? Because for some strange reason, her presence had done nothing but sweep away all potential investors away from my doorstep. Everyone wanted a piece of The Alora Henshaw. Not only w

025Alora's POV “Deep breaths, Alora.” I muttered to no one but myself. It was particularly windy outside today, and I couldn't begin to express how thankful I was for the harsh weather. Whether anyone spotted me or not, no one would be able to tell I was talking to myself and I would save myself the stress of appearing in the news again,and for all the wrong reasons too. “Deep breaths. You can do this.” I really wish I could, because right now I dnt feel like it. I didn't feel anything at all. My mood had been a mess and I'd been numb since the hullabaloo on the news. I hadn't waited to hear what the repoeter had to say before dashing into my personal library to cry, but it didn't matter. The damage had already been done and everyone saw me as a failure, all thank to Eliaz.In the last couple of days, Fredrick had been more than supporting. He checked up on me when I didn't want it, and even when I yelled at him to leave me alone, he would offer me a cup of coffee or a promis

026Alora's POV I had to have offended someone at this point. That was the only reason I could think of. Even as I watched Cynthia's smug grin widen by the second, it still didn't make sense. I was the one who had been wronged. I'd been betrayed and pushed to the curb. I was treated like trash and literally pushed to the verge of death. I was this close to jumping off the rooftop, but nothing happened. Now, five years after, and simply because I wanted those who had wronged me to suffer, just a little bit, suddenly I'm the bad person in the eyes of the universe? Make that make sense. I was literally out of options and reasons as to why mother nature was treating me this way. It wasn't even fair at this point anymore. Just one small win, and it had been accompanied by so many things going wrong alongside it. This was messed up. “Cat got your tongue, sister?” Cynthia's drawl was all it took to pull me out of my thoughts. “Don't tell me that's all it took to get you to keep qui

027Fredrick’s POV A frustrated groan slid past my lips. I pursed my lips and even counted down to ten and back again, but it didn't work. In fact, it seemed to be intensifying my anger all the more. “This is bullshit.” I hissed out loud. My glare rested on the laptop and I battled a lot of intrusive thoughts. For a quick second, I wanted to toss the damn gadget out of the window, or even stomp on it till the bits were scattered all over my office floor. As tempting as that sounded, I knew it wouldn't be forthcoming with anything good. I needed to help Alora and doing all of that wasn't going to birth anything good. After so much inner thoughts, I closer the laptop. I was going to visit it later. “Sir?” A small knock infiltrated my thoughts. I raised my head just in time to see a young man standing at the door. “Can I come in?”“Of course.” It took nothing to put myself together. “Come in.” My smile widened as he walked in. I made sure to give him a couple of minutes to hims

082Alora's POV I had no idea which was weird, the entire moments that led up to me fainting and waking up in the hospital, or Fredrick's weird energy. If I was being honest though, I would say it was Fredrick. I watched him from the windows in the living room as his car pulled out of the compound. I wasn't sure why, but his departure just didn't sit right with me. It sounded weird, and funny in a way. My mind went in a million directions, and so many thoughts crowded my head, but no matter how frazzled my brain was, my uncertainty didn't hint at the fact that he was probably cheating on me. It didn't. At all. For most women, that would be their first thought, but not for me. Fredrick wasn't that type of man, and he never would be. But at the same time, he had never been the kind to keep something from me. It was pretty obvious at this point. Usually, whenever he saw I was in a bad mood, he would do everything in his power to cheer me up. But throughout the drive home, he'
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-81
081Fredrick's POV The drive back home was silent. I hated it, but there was really nothing I could do about it. I wanted to speak, to try and ease out the tension that brewed in the car, but no matter how hard I tried or wanted to, I just couldn't bring myself to do anything. It just didn't feel right. I let out a sigh. I'd been doing that for the past couple of minutes now, but Alora didn't seem to complain. In fact, she hadn't reacted to anything I'd done and I would be lying if I said it didn't bother me. I snuck a glance at the woman in question. She had her head tilted towards the window, with her eyes trained on the scenery whizzing past. I knew Alora well enough to know that she wasn't staring at anything. She was looking at it, but she couldn't see anything. Even after Eliaz had left the ward, the tension that once brewed between the three of us didnt just go away. I'd stared at her for a couple of seconds, and it was obvious something was wrong . Very wrong. I was
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-80
080Alora's POV The devil really was after me, and I had all the proof I needed in the world. In fact, one of them was standing, no, sitting next to me right now. I couldn't believe my ears or eyes. The entire scenario replayed itself over and over again in my mind, but no matter how many times it did that, I just couldn't make any sense out of it. At all. “Not only do you want me to pull out from the real estate contract and everything that has to do with it, you want me to sign off a percentage of my company to you?” They were my own words, but somehow, I wanted to believe that I had a mistake. That Eliaz hadn't really just offered that bullshit as a way to help me. My eyes snapped back to the man in question. He had a sickly smile on his face and I wanted nothing more than to wipe it off his face with a slap.At first, I was worried about his threat of not leaving till he got what he wanted, but now I was just plain mad at his audacity and stupidity combined. “Get out.
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-79
079Alora's POV I hated confrontations, but if anything, I hated the very person who was about to do it all the more. My heart skipped a beat, and as I stared at the man in front of me, I allowed my head to do the math. It was going to determine which was more dangerous; the man or his words. If you asked me though, I was going to say both. An unsettling silence settled between both of us. His words echoed in my ears, and it sent goosebumps down my spine but it did nothing to calm my curiosity. When had Eliaz gotten so bold? I snuck a glance at the man in question. He stood his ground, and in the past minute, I wasn't sure he'd moved a muscle. His face looked stoic and even though I wasn't a mind reader, I could already tell he had come here just for ulterior motives. But what kind, and what was he going to be on about?A sharp throb formed at the side of my head, and I winced. Eliaz hadn't even started speaking yet and I was already feeling this tensed up. What would happen
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-78
078Alora's POV I tossed and turned, but apparently, it did nothing to ease the torture I was in. Red hot pain seared at my sides, and I found myself whimpering. A dull ache spread through the back of my head, but it did nothing to numb the frequent banging at my left and right cranium. Even though I felt all of this, I didn't find anything more strange than the fact that even though I wasn't exactly sure if I was conscious or not, I still felt like I was on the verge of dying. Shit. What the hell was going on? My question, obviously, wasn't a priority to whoever was listening, because despite my laments and silent cries, nothing changed. If anything, the pain seemed to be growing by the minute. I pressed my eyes tighter, and that was when it dawned on me that I must have my eyes closed. I wanted to open it, badly too, but I couldn't help this strange sense of fear that enveloped me. What the hell was going on? I knew what I needed to do, but it didn't make it any less dr
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-77
077Fredrick’s POV “Are you even listening to yourself?” I was furious and even that couldn't fully describe how I was feeling. One would think that with the beautiful memories I had of last night, it would transcend into the remaining parts of our lives. Alora and I had had a shitty life combined, especially her. It didn't even help that even after she'd returned for her fresh start, things were still going horribly wrong. And the worst part, it wasn't just from one person. At this point, if she already had the thought that Los Angeles was cursed and probably not the right place for her, I wouldn't even judge her. In a way, it was true, because the number of things she'd experienced in just this short period of time wasn't exactly nice. That's why I had organized that dinner for the both of us. I'd rented out her favourite restaurant just for the two of us. While the cherry on top had to be the rooftop view, I still had other activities planned out for the rest of the week. I
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-76
Alora's pov There was no way this could be happening. My ears buzzed and I felt the world around me fade away into nothing. I tried to stare at the man in front of me, but I couldn't. Instead, the more I stared, the more the colors around me blurred together, before forming a single color. Black. I blinked back, but it did nothing to return to my immediate environment. I blinked and blinked, but nothing came. What the hell was happening to me? Before I could so much as ask myself another question, Mr Donald's voice reached my ears. I'm sorry ma'am, but we'll have to pull you out. The panel wants you disqualified, effective immediately. No no no no. I wanted to scream but I couldn't bring myself to force the words out. I couldn't even see what I was and it felt like I had been transported into another universe. An idea popped up in my mind and I froze. Had I died somehow? Had the news been so shocking that I died right on the spot? My mind raced, but as I thought about I
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-75
075 Alora's POV. My mind was a reeling mess, but I tried my level best to keep it in check. I was feeling all of the emotions I could think of at the same time and it was becoming overwhelming at this point. Right now, if I could be granted one wish, it would be to disappear forever till everything was back to normal again. But I knew that couldn't happen. This wasn't a fairytale and I wasn't exactly the luckiest person alive. I sighed. With as much dexterity as I can, I slip into the suit jacket just hanging off the cost rails. I stared at my reflection in the mirror and even though I'm the picture-perfect representation of what a confident woman should look like, that's now how I feel on the inside. I'm on the verge of collapsing. Last night was a blast, and while I enjoyed it, I genuinely did not want it to end. Fredrick had taken me to one of my favorite spots in the city but that wasn't all. He had booked the entire restaurant just for the two of us. I actually thought it w
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-74
074Eliaz's POV My body ached and it was weird because I couldn't particularly pinpoint something stressful that I'd done that day. The only thing that involved stress had to do with my mind and I didn't even feel as mentally tired as compared to the physical. Maybe it was a kind of foreshadowing of what was coming. I had no idea, but whatever it was, I just needed to rest. I pushed the door open and breathed a sigh of relief the moment I was met with silence. The lights were out and I quickly put two and two together that Cynthia had gone to bed. She'd been bugging me about the whole picture issue and I wasn't sure she would want to hear that I hadn't fulfilled my part of the bargain. She was a handful. And sometimes I wondered if I had done the right thing by getting married to her. I counted to ten and once there was no sound coming from any of the rooms, I settled into the living room. I'd ordered takeout on my way back and eaten it in the car, so there was no need to star
