042 Fredrick’s POV This was messed up, really messed up. I wasn't just talking about one part of it, but the whole thing as a collective. I blinked twice, willing the burn in my eyes to disappear. I'd been up all night, and even if I could have it any other way, I wasn't exactly sure it would work. How could I sleep when the one I cared about the most was locked up in Police custody? She hadn't left my mind since I laid my eyes on her in that room. It was barely twenty four hours, but I wasn't exaggerating when I said she was already looking pale. Stress had never been a good look on Alora and last night had just proved it. I was expecting the reaction she'd given when her eyes met mine. What I didn't expect, was how she reacted after. “Please leave.” Each syllable drove a stake deeper and deeper into my chest. It was a miracle how I didn't even break down into tears right in front of her. “You never should have come here.” Was she that mad at me that she refused to accept

043Eliaz's POV I hunched my back, making it a bit easier to shrink deeper into the black coat hung across my shoulders. An equally black baseball cap adorned my head and to match, I had on a nose mask that covered basically every of my facial features except my eyes. My eyes though, were on an entirely different level. With the emotions that ran through me at the moment, I was a hundred percent sure that my gaze would burn a hole through the glasses if i had decided to wear one. Plus it would be super uncomfortable. The fact that I was even dressed like this was an unwelcome surprise, and be rest assured that I wasn't going to spare the person who had recommended this to me. A frown made its way to my face as I stepped into a puddle. Despite the mask, I could still feel my anger threatening to rip the material into shreds. At a point, a thought popped into my head and I thought, what if I just took the damned thing off? What was the use anyway, it's not like anyone could see m

044Fredrick’s POV There was only so much damage control one could do to salvage a situation, and right now, it really was looking like there was nothing to be done. I wasn't one to freak out or blow things out of proportion, but believe me when I said things were bad, really bad.I ran a hand through my hair for the umpteenth time in the last minute. In the past hour, I could say I had done this very action over a million times, and while it wasn't exactly something I was proud of, I couldn't bring myself to stop. In fact, that seemed to be the only thing that was keeping me sane in all of this. I hadn't seen it coming, at all. I always heard to be stubborn as a man and not conform or bend your back when others wanted you to, especially if it put you in an uncomfortable situation. It always worked for me and I guess I might have slightly miscalculated on what the outcome was going to be. In all my life, I'd never seen such speed and accuracy. When I'd initially told the blackm

Fredrick’s POV It'd been hours since they last texted and hours since I heard nothing from them. What the hell was this even supposed to mean? I ran a hand through my hair, simultaneously pulling and tugging at the roots. With the rate at which I pulled and tugged, I was surprised a whole chunk of my hair hadn't fallen out by now. While my hair was one of my most liked features amongst women, Alora included, I didn't particularly care about it now. I just needed to get a response and I needed to get it now. A frustrated sigh slid past my lips as I scrolled through my phone for anything new. Nothing. Nothing new had made its way to my phone since morning and if I was being honest, it was eating me up more than I would like. I muffled back a groan. This wasn't how things were supposed to play out. Yes, I had started the morning a little bit confused, but it was worse now. I genuinely thought that by now, I would be getting to the end of this whole dilemma or at least half of i

047Alora's POV Fate worked in so many different ways, and while they always asked me to keep my head up for a silver lining, I never really quite believed it, until now. Time seemed to slow to a halt as I stared at the person in front of me. From the moment she had walked into the room, I couldn't tear my eyes away from her, and it was in a way I just couldn't put a pin to. What the hell was she doing here? That had been the only question that had been running through my mind since she walked in here. She was standing in front of me, but I just didn't want to believe it. If I was being honest, a tiny part of me wanted to punch her, or probably pinch myself just so I would know if I wasn't hallucinating or not. “Good morning, Miss Alora.” She beamed, before taking a seat on the steel chair in front of her. “How are you today?” “What?” I couldn't help but stutter as her question threw me off guard. She has asked a basic question, but when you'd been locked in a dingy room fo

048Fredrick’s POV I snagged a huge bottle from one of the shelves behind the makeshift bar. Usually, I liked to take my time before picking a bottle, because I believed whatever drink you decided to have could have an adverse effect on your mood and therefore you needed to be careful.But right now, I could very well say fuck it. With the bottle tight in my grip, I headed to the living room. The television was on and even though its volume had been tuned down to the lowest dial, I didn't bring myself to care. With what I was about to do to myself, I would be lucky if I could even see what stood in front of me. I poured myself a glass and instead of savouring it as always, I downed its content in less than a minute. Each drop that slid down my throat burned the path it followed but I didn't care less. In a way, I took it as a form of punishment for failing to save or help Alora. It'd been a couple of days since I heard from her. I hadn't seen her since the last time I visited

049Eliaz's POV My mind was heavy and I had no idea why. Or if I was being honest with myself, I had an inkling why I felt this way, I just didn't expect it to be this overwhelming. Revenge was a dish best served cold, they said and I'd believed it. Whenever I was out to get someone, those were the exact words I chanted to myself. It always fueled my morale and gave me the boost I never knew I needed so why the hell was it different this time? A small sigh slid past my lips. I'd beendling that more times than I'd liked and I didn't like it. I'd made conscious efforts to stop too, but I doubt it was working. At this point, the only solution would be to tackle the the problem from the root of it all, but how was I supposed to do that when everything had originated from one woman and I w woman alone; Alora. Doing this back and forth with seemed to be getting harder and harder by the minute. A lot of things had been going on in her life since she appeared in the business world

089Alora's POV The living room was crowded, but it didn't exactly seem so. Why? Four people was already a crowd for me and I didn't need any more people. If Laura or anyone in here decided to bring in another guest, then best believe I would either crash out,or lose it in front of the newest addition. Yes, I was that anti social.A small sigh slid past my lips as I pushed that lone thought out of my head. My hands were wrapped around a warm cup of hot cocoa, and while the others discussed, I gently sipped on my beverage. It tasted heavenly if I was being honest, and with the slightly loud and chartering noise in the background, it created the perfect ambience for a business woman enjoying her wealth and affluence, after climbing so many obstacles to get to them. I would be lying if I said I didn't relate to that. Well, only a part of it. I was yet to overcome all the obstacles in front of me. They were a lot, and sometimes, something inside me always whispered that I just w
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-88
088Alora's POV I'd lost count of exactly how long I'd been standing here for, but there was one thing I was sure of, it was a lot. My ankle ached and my knees buckled underneath my. My feet was this close to giving way, and while crouching sounded like a good idea, it was a risk I wasn't exactly willing to take. Stay strong, Alora. I muttered more to myself than anybody else. You can do this. I'd been muttering that for a while now, but frankly, I wasn't sure i really believed it. I was exhausted. I wanted to run back to the comfort of my car, but I knew I couldn't do that. If I did, how was I going to see just what that sneaky Eliaz was up to? He'd been in the bar for the past hour now, I knew because I took record of when he'd first walked in, and he was yet to come out. I had no idea what he was even doing in there. Did he come with someone? Was he waiting for someone?.A million and one questions ran through my head,but the more I asked myself, the more confused I got
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-87
087Alora's POV I'd messed up, and Ethan's smirk grin wasn't the only indication I was getting. I felt it all around me. Up until now, it felt like I was under some kind of spell. Well, maybe that depiction wasn't exactly correct, but I'd allowed my anger and desperation to get to me, and now, I'd just shot myself in the foot. Ethan wasn't supposed to know what I'd just told him. My business was strictly meant for the court and the court only, but now, I'd just gone to spill to him, that the potential evidence I had was nowhere to be found. Way to go Alora, fucking way to go. “Can't got your tongue miss?” He called out to me. “I've never taken you to be the quiet type, but I guess it's true what the saying says; situation changes people, a lot. It's so sad to see that this is what you've been reduced to.”“I haven't been reduced to anything and you know it.” I shot back. “I'm simply just in a bad spot and…”“You've been in a bad spot since I knew you, Alora.” He cut me off.
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-86
086Alora's POV The door swung open, after what finally seemed like forever. In fact, it was forever because I had waited a long time, and by the time Ethan waltzed into the empty seat behind his desk that waa supposed to be his, it waa safe to say that he had wasted approximately two hours, if I wasn't mistaken. My eyes trailed the physique of his back as he took his sweet time getting to his chair. Like that wasn't enough, he even made a show of finally settling down. “Are you going to romanticize picking up the pens littered on your desk now?” The question had caught him off guard, but he was quick to gather the hens of his composure again. “Or are you finally going to realize that you're wasting both your time and mine?!”“Me?” He gasped slightly, but I didn't miss the skeleton of a smile making its way across his lips. “Is that what you really think? Well, I understand why you would think that though; you've been waiting for quite some time now. Unlike me, I've just clea

085Alora's POV Was I crazy? Well, we were about to find out. This wasn't going to be the first time I would think I was a little mental upstairs. I mean, if so many people had told me that, I liked to think it was true, even if it was only by a fraction. I used to get mad when I heard the word crazy being used to describe me. It ticked me off in most ways, but not anymore. Instead of always getting upset over it and all the time, I trained myself to see it as a compliment somehow and use it to better myself. If you thought about it, it was better to be referred to as the crazy lady, or crazy Laura rather than being pitied whenever your name came up. If they all thought I'd been crazy all this while, then they were about to get the biggest shock of their lives. For the second time, and more than I would actually like, I drummed my fingers against the steering wheel, anxiously waiting for the lights to turn green. It was almost the same scenario as this morning, the only diffe
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-84
084Alora's POV No. There was no way this was happening. I'd lost count of the number of times I'd said that since my move back to Los Angeles and while I could swear that the previous time I'd said that would be the last, my life has a funny way of rubbing it in my face. Over and over again. It was one thing to be hopeless, and another thing to have no sight of things turning around for you, but you still decide to hold on to that tiny piece of faith, that somehow, something good would come out of it. In case, you were doubting the latter was worse, because if life decided to pull out the rug from under your feet, then you were going to fall, hard. My ears buzzed, and even though Laura's voice echoed in my head, I refused to believe that what she'd said was true. “They're gone.” Her words swarm all around me. “The messages are gone.” While I was in prison and especially after my conversation with Laura, that was the only thing I could think about. Those messages. I knew
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-83
083Alora's POV One would think that at this point, and with everything I've been through, I would have gotten used to it by now. But no matter how much shit I've been through, I like to think that's the last. That doesn't necessarily work, and the phone call I received last night, was all the proof I needed in the world to finally understand that. I drummed my fingernails against the surface of my steering wheel. An unruly rhythm reached my ears, but I tuned them out the moment they got closer to my earlobe. On the outside, horns blared and honked at the traffic light that had been stuck at the red light for the past thirty minutes. At this point, I was beginning to think it might be a malfunction, because I had no idea what was causing the holdup. The zebra crossing in front of me was as empty as could be, so why wasn't the light changing? I sighed. If anything, it gave me some time to think. I'd sworn I wasn't going to do that too often, but life obviously had other plans
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-82
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
