The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-46
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

050Eliaz's POV I was all for cliffhangers and dramatic endings, but not when it involved me. Absolutely not. I hated that with every fiber of my being and I usually tried my level best to avoid it, but tell me how the hell I was going to avoid this. Time seemed to slow to a halt, but I e thing was constant, Cynthia's last words ringing loudly at the back of my ears. “Is that why you have those raunchy pictures of her then?” Her voice echoed with each second that passed . “tell me why you have those kind of pictures at the back of your drawer?”I didn't want to believe it, I didn't want come to the conclusion that she had really said those words, but just because I didn't believe it didn't make it any less true. She'd said it, she'd found out about my dirty secret and it was now in the open. Shit. “What's wrong Eliaz?” Her voice brought me back to the present. I winced at the sassy undertone that had made its way to her but I masked it almost instantly. “Cat got your ton

051Alora's POV It'd been a couple of days since I last laid my eyes on Laura. And by a couple of days, I really didn't mean two days. I was talking about a full blown week and it had been radio silence from her. When the first day had passed, I felt a little bit of relief. She obviously needed time to get her act together and plan her next move, and since I had her assurance of getting me out of here in a matter of two days, I didn't have anything to worry about, right? Wrong. I was totally wrong. I had everything to worry about, and the panic started creeping in after the fourth day. I hadn't heard anything from her and all my attempts to get to her had proved futile. The officers in the station weren't helping matters either. Noatter who I reached out to, none of them seemed to be willing to help me. I'd said it before and I was going to say it again, the police here was far from my friend. On one of the occasions, one of the janitors had offered me food and asked if I ne

052Fredrick’s POV The phone rang continuously in my ear, but there was no response. Even when the call disconnected, I picked it up and called again, but to no avail. As annoying as that was, it wasn't even the worst part. Right now, I was torn in between being annoyed by the fact that she wasn't answering, or the annoying ringtone that accompanied each call. I didn't regret a lot of things often, but when I did, it was usually intense, and right now, it was taking everything in me to not place her on the list of people I regretted working with. Yes, I was talking about none other than Laura Davies. When she'd walked up to me in my living room, I wasn't buying it, but surprisingly, she knew all there was to make me fold; my wife Alora. She was well aware that I was going to do anything for her, and she'd used that to her advantage. It was a wise plot on her part and I just prayed it wasn't a part of a bigger scheme I couldn't see. After our little deal, she'd told me the

053Alora's POV A small groan slid past my lips as I slowly peeled my eyes open. The moment I did that though, I regretted it instantly. An intense jolt of pain spread through my head,forcing me to press my eyes shut again. Even after closing my eyes, it did nothing to reduce the pain I was feeling. Vall me crazy or whatever, but I couldn't help but feel like the pain had intensified. My fingers flew to my head and I pressed down on it. It was a stupid idea, but right now, I wasn't thinking straight and all I wanted was for the pain to stop. Was that too much to ask? Apparently, it was, because no matter what I did, it didn't alleviate the pain. I felt tears sting the back of my eyes and it took everything in me not to start weeping uncontrollably. Since I had run out of ideas, I did the most random thing ever. I prayed. It wasn't anything elaborate. All I did was mutter underneath my breath that I wanted the pain to disappear, and in a matter of seconds, the most unimagin

The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 160
160Alora's POV I couldn't believe my ears, at all. I'd heard of moments when one would be so shocked, that one would be forced to think that time had somehow rolled to a halt. I'd experienced my fair share of that moment, but I never thought another occurrence could top the charts of the most shocking one. If anything, what had just happened now was something I wouldn't be forgetting in a long time, even if I died, or went into a coma. “You’re alone now, Alora.” his words echoed painfully in my ears. “Abandon Fredrick, sign over your shares to me, and we could go back to being a couple”. The words seemed to be on loop, and the more I tried to get his voice out of my head, the more they settled into my mind. As they did that, I struggled to find the motivation behind it all. Was he really that audacious for him to think that I was going to agree to his terms? Or perhaps he was delusional and was only playing a prank on me. I raised my gaze to meet his face. My eyes scanned the
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 159
159Alora's POV I was conscious, but for the life of me, I didn't even want to open my eyes. Call it embarrassment, or probably depression, I didn't care. All I knew was that I didn't want to feel like this, at all. I couldn't even remember the last time I felt this way. I'd been through hell and back, literally, from the contract being ripped from me the first time, to bring framed for something I had no idea about, to you g to jail, to dealing with Ethan and a whole lot of other troubles I didn't wabt to remember, I wasn't sure I felt the way I was feeling now, and i hated it. I let out a deep breath, before finally forcing my eyes open, and the all too familiar sight of my ceiling greeted me. I knew I should be happy, or at least feel a tiny bit of comfort, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't summon it. All that ran through my mind, were the events that led to this moment. It wasn't a lot, but it was still embarrassing. I'd passed out in the Inspector's office a

158Fredrick’s POV A small groan slid past my lips as I slowly peeled my eyes open. A dull throb spread through the back of my head, and all around me, but I didn't let it get to me. My body ached, and I felt like I was going to pass out again. My lungs burned, and even the side of my torso too. I had no idea why it hurt, but for the life of me, I couldn't even bring myself to check. More groans slid past my lips as I forced myself into a sitting position. My back came in contact with the wall behind me, and I regretted it immediately. Something slimy seeped into my clothes, and I jerked forward immediately. Even that wasn't a good choice, because the moment my hands came in contact with the floor, a burning sensation raced up my body. I scrambled to my feet, and my legs ached. I tried to walk to the other side of the room, but I just couldn't. With all the strength I could mutter, I found myself limping to a part of the tiny room I felt was clean enough. Once there, I pressed
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 157
157Alora's POV I paced around the room, my footsteps slapping loudly against the clear tiles. I hadn't expected the sound from beneath my shoes to be so loud, but in my defense, I also hadn't expected to end up here of all places too. What the hell was wrong with my life? Why was there always some evil plan lurking around in the background and waiting for the right time to rear it's ugly head? I pinched the bridge of my nose as I continued my pacing. While I did that, I didn't miss the angry glares that the other people in the room threw my way. Did I care? Not in the slightest. It was selfish of me, but if nothing was going well for me, then I honestly didn't mind ruining a couple of other people's day too. I shook my head slowly. For the past hour now, I struggled to comprehend what the hell had just happened. One minute, things were going relatively fine, if you excluded the missing funds, and the next, Fredrick was being arrested. Fucking arrested. My mind darted back t
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 156
156Alora's POV An additional week had passed since we started the real estate contract in earnest, and I knew I should be glad that things were beginning to shape up, but I just couldn't shake off the unease that lodged itself in my chest every now and then. It didn't always come when I was distracted, I only seemed to feel that way anytime I set my eyes on our two new employees, Marcus and Phineas. They'd been eagerly at work, making choices and decisions that were sometimes out of my reach, but there wasn't a lot I could say. I didn't agree with half of their thought process, but Fredrick was always ever ready to back them up. “This is the new innovation I was talking about.” He'd said. “let's just let them do their thing, I'm sure it'll come out great.” I had so many questions, but for the sake of global prace, I'd decided to shelf them, until today that is. I'd arrived at the office like any pretty normal day. Once in a while, Fredrick and I often did routine checks, to

155Alora's POV It'd been a week since we started the real estate contract in earnest, and I would be lying if I said I wasn't proud of myself. It was stressful and overwhelming, and in the past week, I could swear I'd lost count of how many times I wanted to give up. From the preparations, down to going to the site and managing the workers, everything was a lot. I'd cried to Fredrick more times than I wanted to, and at a point, i honestly deliberated giving it all up. “Do we really have to do this?” I'd said to Fredrick a couple of days back. “Is it really too late now?” “Yes.” Fredrick had let out admit a series of chuckles. “We can do this Alora. We fought so hard for this, from the very beginning too. We can't give up now. You're saying all of this because you're stressed. I'm sure once your vision starts coming to light, you'll forget all about it.” To further support his reassurance, Fredrick had taken me out to dinner. He insisted it wasn't a date, but just an avenue
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 154
154Alora's POV I wasn't one to look forward to office days, but I would be lying to myself if I said I wasn't excited this morning. I couldn't even hide it even if I wabted to. From the moment I woke up, I'd been in a beautiful mood, and nothing, absolutely nothing was going to change that. Apparently, my excitement had been passed to Fredrick as well, but he was doing a good job at keeping his in. After the interview slash live session a couple of days ago, it felt like our luck had turned around significantly. We had more partnership deals than we'd ever had since we got back and our stocks profit had skyrocketed more than expected. Fredrick and I had finalized the details for the real estate contract, and we officially supposed to start the project today. Fredrick had headed to the office earlier than me, just to make some final decisions before my arrival. I was so excited, that I literally completed my morning routine with twenty five minutes extra to spare. I tapped m
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 153
153Cynthia’s POV The sun was up, and shining, and I couldn't help but bask in it. I mean, who wouldn't, especially when I had a huge dick sitting on one of my fingers. I'd been wanting to get this ring for a while, but Eliaz never really came around to getting it for me. Now, I didn't have to wait around to be able to get what I wanted, I could easily get it for myself, and through Halo too. A wide grin made its way to my face at the mere thought of it. To the people at the counter and probably the other customers miling about the mall, they would probably think that I had gone psycho, but I knew better. I was psycho, but in a happy way. While the total cost of my goods was being calculated, I couldn't help but recall the events that led me to this moment. I saw my world crashing down the moment Eliaz thrust those DNA reports in my face. When Alora had said she was going to expose me, she really did mean it. I'd run her over just to stop her, but I guess I let a tiny detail

152Henry's POV A pungent smell hit my nose, and I fought the urge to throw up. I pressed my fingers against the bridge of my nose and my nostrils, but it did nothing to stop the stench from getting in. The stale stench had hit my nose the moment I got in here. One would think that with how posh the building looked from the outside, a small part of it would be bearable, but I guess I knew better now. I cursed underneath my breath as I walked to the other side of the shoebox of a room I'd been tossed into. Maybe the rancid smell wasn't coming from every part of the room. Perhaps I'd been unfortunate to walk to one of the walls where the stench was more prominent. But I was wrong, very wrong. Every part of this stupid room felt like it had been forsaken by both God and the devil. In fact, if someone were to walk up to me, just to tell me that this place used to be a dumping site for every sort of waste product you could think, then I wouldn't even bat an eyelid to doubt him. In
