The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-57
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

060Fredrick’s POV It was a quiet day at the office, and honestly, I would be lying if I said I liked it. It was simply a lazy day, as Cynthia would call it, but I couldn't shake off the fact or the feeling that there was more to it. I sighed. Cynthia had been bugging me since I got up this morning. Apparently, she was very serious about me submitting those photos to Mr Donald. In her words, that was the only thing I needed to get her disqualified.I wish. I had no idea who was in charge of the panel responsible with passing the final verdict, but I wasn't exactly sure some raunchy photos could change their mind. Yes, Alora had originally won the contract and thanks to my obiection, it was currently on hold. If I did submit the photos as evidence, what exactly was I trying to prove? The pictures had nothing to do with real estate, and if I was being honest, everyone had skeletons in their closets they would love to remain hidden forever. Alora's own was slightly different. Sh

061Eliaz's POV I had never been more proud of myself than I was at this moment. I always thought it was bullshit when people said they cherished other people's reactions, especially the bad ones but right now, I could very well say they weren't overreacting. I loved it. If anyone had told me that I would love the nasty reaction of the woman in front of me, I wouldn't have believed it. At all. Right now, If I could be granted one wish it would be to savor this moment forever and ever. I'm sure Laura didn't see it coming as well, one minute she was still speaking and the next, I had thrown the answer right in her face. “Save it.” My voice basically echoed in my head. “I already have my answer. No.”“What?” Laura's voice was cool and calm, surprisingly. “You heard me.” I nodded. “I don't think I stuttered.” The silence that settled in the room was tense. For the next couple of seconds, we stared each other down, neither of us wanting to back down. It carried on for the lon

062Fredrick’s POV I slammed the car door shut, once I had gotten out of the vehicle. The hot sun blistered in the sky, and I slipped on my shades. They were as dark as night and blocked out the sun quite well, but it didn't stop me staring or seeing what stood in front of me; the police station. If you asked me a couple of weeks back of I thought the police were doing their job, I would have given a resounding yes. Not only that, I'm sure I would have ahead to publicly praise them, and offer a little token as a sign of support for their services to the populace. But now, if you asked me that very same question, my first instinct would to be hurt whoever had the guts to come up with that question. I would hurt him or her first, before going ahead to bash the police. Everything was messed up and the fact that they weren't doing any to make it anyess problematic irked me to my bones. I hadn't wanted to come here in the first place,but all I had to do was think of Alora and Laura

063Alora's POV I'd been freaking out since the news reached my ears. In fact, freaking out couldn't even begin to describe how I felt at the moment. I was panicking, fidgeting and every other word that could be used to describe unease could be well and easily related to me right now, and it still wouldn't be accurate. Shit. I was bad luck. Cursed even, because that was the only way to justify why I was constantly jumping into one problem or the other and especially when I least expected it too. It was already mentally draining that I was in this hell hole called a jail, and to make it all the more worse, I'd been paired up with the worst people. I honestly thought I had time before the hearing but I couldn't be more wrong. “Weren't you informed?” My mind trailed back to me and brownies conversation. “It's all over the place. The huge hudinewoman who has a side hustle of pushing drugs by the side.” My stomach churned. Was that what they really thought of me? It was one thi

064Alora's POV I couldn't believe my eyes, nor my ears. I had heard situations where people suddenly got rooted to their spots. I wouldn't exactly say it had happened to me, but I had seen it happen to people I was close to, so I believed it. I just didn't totally believe that it would happen to me, and at this point in my life too. Fuck..That was the only word my mind could come up with. I had no way to check, but I could bet my life that the inside of my brain responsible for coming up with words and sentences were all frazzled up. I parted my mouth to speak, but no words came out. I was sure that if someone took a picture of me right now, I would look like nothing short of a deer caught in headlights. It was that bad, but that wasn't the worst part. He hadn't recognized me yet, and I was this close to blanking out, what was I going to do then if I had to get into a conversation with him? A shiver ran down my spine as I caught sight of him one more time. When I'd first w

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
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
