The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-32
032Fredrick’s POV. I was losing my mind, but to the rest of the people in this conference room with me, I was perfectly fine. How ironic. I bit back a sadistic smile, just lingering on the tip of my tongue. It would be totally wrong of me to even let it out, and for so many reasons too. On the inside, I was a complete mess and even on the outside, I still couldn't afford to laugh. We were currently discussing the company's stocks, and right now, things weren't looking too good. “Sir?” someone's voice was all it took to pull me out of my thoughts. I blinked, just to come face to face with one of my employees. “Are you still here?”“Yes, Richard.” I nodded once. Richard was the head of the business and income division of our company. He had recently just assumed that role and in only six months, the progress results have been massive, except now, that is. “Do go on, you have my attention now.” “Thank you.” He nodded curtly. He allowed a couple of seconds to go by, before he c

033Eliaz’s POV Evil really did pay off with the best results, no one could tell me otherwise. Up until a couple of days ago, I was convinced that karma was back to kick me in the chin, or where it would hurt the most, but all I needed to remind me that karma was barely a social construct, was the inside news I'd been getting recently. Thanks to shadow, we'd managed to get a mole in Alora and Fredrick's company. I'd been skeptical about the idea at first, because ever since her arrival, everyone had been craving to be on her side, even the big dogs I always saw as unapproachable. It didn't even take him up to twenty four hours and he'd planted someone to do our dirty job for us. Even after reassuring me in his crooked and twisted ways, it did nothing. Until I started getting results, that is. Thanks to our little spy, I was aware that the last meeting had ended in a deadlock. He didn't have the specifics yet, but I already knew that something was bothering Fredrick and it wa

034Alora's POV A lot of words have been used to describe me while growing up. Beautiful, pretty, hardworking, industrious, smart, hotheaded, kind, and sometimes, even crazy. I never really resonated with the last one, until now that is. My heart hammered in my chest as I watched the time tick by slowly. In fact, I'd been doing that all day, specifically since after I'd gotten the text. I found it particularly hard to concentrate on anything else and could you blame me? I doubted that. There was nothing I hadn't done to be able to distract myself from what lay ahead. But no matter how hard I tried, I found myself circling back to the text and the burner phone. If I said I understood how it had been possible to be in this position, then believe me that just had to be the biggest lie of the century. I had so many questions, with no one to answer them. Well, no one aside from my mystery texter that is. Who was he anyway, and what were the odds that he or she just had to reach ou

035Eliaz's POV Nothing could describe how mad I was. Well, if I was being more accurate, I wasn't sure mad was the right word. More like irritated and it was all thanks to one person.Shadow. He was a pretty decent guy, when it came to his work ethics. He got the job done when asked, and at this point, I could say he was doing his job a little too well too. Never in a million years did I think I would ever come across the pictures he'd given me today. It was crazy, and I had no idea if it had anything to do with the fact that they were computer generated, or that I actually liked them. I gulped. I had missed Alora over the years, and terribly so too. I always tried to hide it, but even that was enough. At a point, I even had to look for other ways to satisfy my cravings, but why didn't I think of Shadow’s idea? The only reason I was mad at him for showing me those pictures, was because I hadn't gotten to them first. There was something about the way her blue eyes stared int

037Eliaz's POV At this point in my life, I think it was pretty obvious that I hated anything that would stress me, even the slightest. Mother nature must have thought it to be a suzi joke, because tell me why he decides to set me up with a woman who's second name could very well be trouble,babe everything else that encompassed it. I hated this. I stared at the woman in front of me. Get face held a tight scowl, and I wondered just how long she was going to keep that expression on her face. Her lips were drawn into a frown, and her eyes were wide open with anger. Pure, red hot and undiluted anger. “I'm tired, Cynthia.” I let out slowly. “I want to rest.” “You will.” Her response was quick and sharp. “Just answer my question first.” “No.” My reply must have shocked her, because for a tiny second, I watched a flicker of surprise make its way to her face, before disappearing again. “Let me go.” “No.” It was her turn to refuse. “why don't you want to tell me? It's just a harmles

038Alora's POV I was starting to regret this, and I was barely at my destination. Was this a bad sign?“Relax, Alora.” I let out a mouthful of breaths. For more efficiency, I even started counting to ten and back again. Anything to get my thumping heart come back to normal. “Just take a deep breath and relax.” No matter how many times I repeated that phrase to myself, it didn't particularly do much. With every turn I made that led me closer to our agreed meeting point, I felt my heart threaten to leap out of my body. So many times, the thought of turning back crosses my mind, but what kind of human would I be to pass out a potential opportunity to clear my name?“It's okay.” I muttered to myself. With my fingers clenched tight around the steering wheel I followed the GPS direction. “All you have to do is get there and ….” The rest of my words were replaced by a shrill cry as I slammed my feet into my brakes immediately. The tires screeched against the tarred road, and it took

039Alora's POV There was no way this could be my life, no absolutely fucking way. Recently, my life had been giving me pointers as to why I needed to believe that maybe, just maybe I had a bit of bad luck running through my veins. But with everything that had gone down tonight, I think I had been underestimating it all along. I wasn't just bad luck. I was cursed and it just had to be with one very powerful hex too.It was crazy, but that was the only logical and reasonable explanation I could give to all the events unfolding in my life. At this point, only a fool would still uphold my beliefs that bad things only happened to you because of a bad decision you'd made in the past. Here, I had clearly made a good decision, or was in the process of doing so, when the universe just had to show me that again, she was the boss and controlled every bit and part of my life. It was messed up. Really messed up.Even in a million years, I didn't see tonight coming. If someone had asked m

040Fredrick’s POV I hated traffic lights, or if I was being honest, not really. I just hated the fact that I had to see one right now, and just when I had pulled up to it and was seconds away from zooming past, it just had to switch to red. What the actual fuck?I wanted to yell out loud, but it was almost midnight, and the roads were close to being deserted. Throughout my entire drive that had led up to this point, I had counted only a handful of cars and while I wasn't exactly this erratic, I wished I was the only one on the road. That way, I could do whatever I wanted to do and when I wanted to do it. Like run through the many buildings standing in my way till I got to the station. I inhaled and exhaled a couple of times, willing myself to calm down. A larger part of me couldn't help but feel like the best way to let out all the stress was by probably yelling or punching something, but I wasn't about to ruin something in the car and delay me any further. I was already late

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
