The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-68
068Alora's POV I'd never been more grateful for a lunch break right now than in my entire life. Technically, it was recess as Laura and the judge had said, but I didn't care. I would take anything it took to get me out of that box. The next thing on my list right now, was to get out of here and never set my eyes on a court room ever again. So help me God. “Are you okay, Alora?” It was Laura. I had my eyes closed, but one nudge from her was all it took for me to turn in her direction. When I didn't say anything, she added. “I got you something.” “Oh.” My stomach growled as loudly as it could, even without seeing what she had bought and that's when I knew I was completely finished. Since I'd gotten here, I hadn't eaten a proper meal. Yes, they served us breakfast, lunch and dinner, but it was always to yucky for me to eat. Since I wasn't sure I could stomach that kind of things I always passed it down to my roomies. I bit back the smile that made its way to my lips at the li

069Alora's POV. I hated the fact that he always got the last say. Not only did it irk me, it sometimes made me feel like maybe, just maybe he wasn't ever going to pay for what he did to me back then . There was every tendency that what he did back then would ever be brought to life, but winning this could just be the win I had no idea I needed. “I just hate it when he's so smug.” I hissed, even after he had walked away from us. “I hate it so so much.” “I feel like I'm missing something” Laura added. “How do you know the biggest jerk in the world of the law?” “It's a long story.” I waved her off with a hand. Truly, Ethan didn't mean Jack shit to me, but there was just something he said that didn't sit right with me. “Um, Laura, I have a question.”“We are making progress, right?” Somehow, the strange expression that made its way to Laura's face after my question isn't what I'm expecting. “The judge is probably going to say something in our favour when we get back, right?” “Actua

070Eliaz's POV It's been two days since Laura's visit and simultaneously two days since I had a good night's rest. No matter how hard I tried to shake it off and classify her visit as something meaningless, it just didn't work out for me. Time and time again, I found my mind wandering back to that day in the office. In fact, I wasn't exactly sure which was more shocking, her audacity, or the message she had come to pass across. I want you to testify in Alora's favour in court in the next two days. Her voice echoed in my ears. With the unhealthy number of times my brain had replayed her voice on its own, I hated to see that I could recognize her voice anywhere now, even in my sleep and I didn't like it one bit. I wish she had never walked into my office. Laura didn't just have the guts to stand up against me, she made look like a fool while doing it too. I hadn't put much thought into dealing with her yet, but now, I guess I was just going to have to consider it. Whether

071Alora's POV I was still having a hard time grasping it all and it might sound like an exaggeration, but I honestly didn't see that happening anytime soon. It had been close to an hour since the verdict had been given, but if you asked me, I would absentmindedly say it just happened a couple of moments ago. The only thing that would easily dispute my claim though, was the fact that the courthouse was now empty and stripped bare, except for the few people thst still hung back, myself included. I was currently waiting for Laura and Fredrick. In their words, they needed to finalize something with the court so as to not have any problems moving forward. Thanks to them, I also learned that the judge had been extremely favourable to us. Usually and according to practice, failure to bring your evidence was a risky thing to do. Yes, people did it, but the success rate after that, was usually very low and you had no one else to blame but yourself. Over the past weeks, I haven't rea

072Fredrick's POV “Are you sure that's all we need, Laura?’ I watched her throw some documents into her bag. We'd been waiting in front of this office for the past hour now and now that we had finally been attended to, the last thing I wanted was anything ruining that for us, especially Alora. “Yes. Yes.” She murmured absentmindedly. It was a very small thing, but I found it really upsetting. A part of me wanted nothing more than to call her out, but I just knew that it wouldn't be fair to either of us. “I've cross checked everything. I just need one last thing before we can leave. I'm coming.” Before I can get any more words out, she dashed into the room opposite the office we'd just walked out of, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I ran a hand through my hair, not knowing what else to do. The last hour had been so intense, I wasn't sure I'd ever felt this tensed up before. Laura had pulled a big what if in the court room today, and if it had gone south, we could be lookin

073 Alora's POV The drive home was quiet and I didn't like it. Yes, sometimes I craved my peace and didn't want to hear from the world, but this wasn't one of those times. Tonight, I wanted to scream. My mind was a beautiful mess as a million and one thoughts all raced at once, each one of them begging to be picked and expanded on. The downside of the whole issue, was that I didn't have the mental health nor the energy for any of that. I was exhausted, with a side serving of anger too. I snuck a glance at the man at the wheels. I'd caught him staring at me life times than I could count, but I didn't dare call him out on it. I wasn't scared of what he was going to do, I was just scared that he would start talking to me, and I didn't want that. I guess Fredrick had kind of made it up to me by showing at court today, but that wasn't exactly the case. I was stil mad at him because a tiny piece of me felt that if he had just listened tor, none of this would have happened. Because o

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

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

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

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

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
The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return Ch-85
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
