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

054Fredrick’s POV The universe hated me. That was the only way to put it and the only reasonable conclusion I could come to at the moment. Even an overly superstitious person would agree with me at this point, because what the hell did I do to keep on deserving this? Just when I thought things were going to go well or when I was getting closer to the light at the end of the tunnel, something unexpected and totally unforeseen would ruin it all. I stared at the woman in front of me, hoping she would have something to say. We'd been quiet for the last couple of minutes, and as it stretched it only proved the rogue thought that was swirling around in my mind. What did she even mean? What did she mean by Alora was gone? Did she just disappear into thin air? She'd been at the police station for this long so why did she have to be not here, just moments when we were coming for her? It just didn't make sense. It didn't at all. “You're yet to give me an explanation, Laura.” I broke

055Fredrick’s POV I poured myself a glass of wine, before settling into the sofa. Just like the last time, the TV was switched on but with the volume to the lowest dial, and for a quick moment, I wondered exactly how that had happened. I had already taken a full glass and some more before I remembered I wasn't alone. “Shit.” I mumbled before getting up on my feet. A sheepish smile made its way to my lips as my fingers found the back of my neck, before itching at it slightly. “I'm sorry, Laura. It completely slipped my mind. What would you like to drink?”“It's fine.” She gave me a polite smile. “I'll have anything you give me.” “One minute.” I nodded, before dashing back to the counter. My eyes scoured the many variety of wine at my bar, and eventually I settled on something fruity and mild. After grabbing the bottle and a glass, I headed back into the living room before setting it down. “Shall we start?” She asked and I nodded, before proceeding to open the bottle. S

056Alora's POV Of all the things that could have happened to me in the world, I never zeroed my mind that this could be a possibility. According to recent statistics I'd heard, it was more common that I thought and even though it made sense, I just didn't want to believe that it applied to me. Why would it apply to me ? I was only a young woman who wanted to get her revenge for the wrong doing I had gone through five years ago. Was that too much to ask for? If cases were reversed or someone was being asked to judge this entire scenario from the outside, then they would easily come to the conclusion that I was the one who had done the betrayal and I was simply dealing with the fruits of my labour. Shit. “What's wrong, Blondie?” Someone's sharp tone was all it took to pull me out of my thoughts. “You don't look too good.”It was one of the prisoners, I was sharing a room with. Or more specifically, my prison roommates. I knew she was teasing me, but I didn't have the mental st

057Alora's POV I was familiar with the terms guardian angels saviours. I'd even heard of the phrase a knight in shining armor and they all depicted the same thing. Someone or an unforseen incident, coming in or happening at the right time. It was usually unexpected and could be said to be magical sometimes, but up until this moment, I'd never experienced it, until now. I stared at my guardian angel with wide eyes. I couldn't see my reflection, but I knew myself well enough to know that I had tears shining through. My lips quivered and I wanted to yell. But whether it was going to come out as a happy scream or a cry of anguish, i wasn't exactly sure. “Laura?” Somehow, calling out her name didn't make it any more believable. A tiny part of me whispered in my ears that if I blinked, she just might disappear into thin air where she came from. “Is that really you?” She nodded once, but I couldn't bring myself to believe her. Perhaps it had something to do with the unshed tears tha

058Eliaz's POV I drummed my fingers against the small table booth in front of me. In return, an uneven rhythm reached my ears. I didn't exactly like it, but I forced myself to, because this was the only thing that kept me from running mad at the moment. Scattered around me, were customers of different kinds. Everywhere I turned, there was either a couple, a family of three, four, or five kids running about. There were a couple of single people in here, but I wasn't the least bothered with them. I was on the lookout for one person and one person alone and he was beyond late. I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration. If there was anything I hated, it was lateness, be it from me or whoever I was meeting up. I had explained it over and over, but apparently, I needed to put up my distaste for lateness on a signboard for the said person before he would actually get it. I hated this. But if I was being frank, there was a slight upside to all of this. Unlike the last time, I had

059Alora's POV I was settled, I think. After the little meeting with Laura, I honestly thought all hope had been lost, because the one thing that could prove, or aid in proving my innocence, was nowhere to be found, and it was all because of my carelessness. Now that I thought about it, maybe agreeing to meet up with a random stranger wasn't exactly the wisest thing to do. I should have contacted the police, and even if I hated to admit it, I could have reached to Fredrick at least, to give him a heads up on where I was headed. Yes, I was mad at him and had vowed to not speak to him because of his insinuations, but it still didn't change anything. A text was a text, and it could have saved me from all of this. I was guessing. I scrubbed my hands with my face, allowing Laura's parting words ring in my ears. “Don't worry, Alora.” She'd squeezed my shoulder. “We'll find that phone, and we'll do well to get you out of here. You just need to hang in here a little longer.” A li

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

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

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

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
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 155
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

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
