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

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

090Alora's POV My heart thundered in my chest, and no matter how hard I tried to get it to calm down, it just wouldn't budge. It felt like, the more I tried, the faster it went. Relax, Alora. Relax. I figured since I couldn't train my mind to focus on one thing and not a million things at once, I decided to put it to good use. My eyes scanned the environment. It wasn't a lot, but hopefully, it would be enough to take my mind off things. A mix of blue and brown colors stained the walls, and even though I'd never actually thought of the color combination up until now, I couldn't deny the fact that it looked nice. It wasn't that bad, and if the people in here seemed to be comfortable with it, then I guess it was an okay color. On the walls, a series of portraits and awards had been hung up, and if that wasn't typical of a police station then I had no idea what else could suffice. All around me, noises of different types and forms buzzed. If it wasn't an officer slamming a hug

091Alora's POV The night was chilly, and I mentally cursed myself for not pulling up here with a jacket, or at least something thicker. It was also yet to be winter, so I didn't understand why it was so cold out here tonight too. Where the hell was she? I stared into the distance, hoping to God that I would see some form of life form. Well, not any kind. I was specifically waiting for Laura. When she'd send me a cryptic text to meet her here in the next one hour, I was this tempted to call the authorities responsible because I could swear her phone had been hacked. Only when she'd sent a follow up message after a couple of minutes later to tell me that she would explain when she got here did I visibly relax. It sounded like a good plan at the time, but now, I wasn't so sure anymore. The night was deathly quiet, save for the occasional rustle of the trees from time to time. I could swear this place used to be one of the most prettiest spots in the city in the daytime, but t

092Alora's POV Nature hated me. The world hated me. The universe simply couldn't stand something good happening to me, because why else was I jumping from frying pan to fire and even worse, all in the name of trying to clear my name and make a better life for myself? Every day, the ones who did me dirty went on with their lives like they were saints and the most innocent person on earth, while I, the real innocent one, was left to fight off demons that I had nothing to do with. “Alora.” I snapped my head to the direction the voice had come from. It took me a while, but eventually, I narrowed it down to Peter speaking. “Are you okay? You look tense.”“I'm fine “ I sighed. I was far from fine, but these days, anything apart from fine felt like it would be the gateway to me breaking down, and I didn't want that. Not in the slightest. “Just exhausted.”“Of course you would be.” Fredrick quipped, and I didn't miss the snarky tone underneath. “You were up late last night. In fact

093Alora's POV It was quite easy to misinterprete or misunderstand someone, but I wouldn't say I had ever been in that position before. I often saw it as a harmless mistake, and since it was just that, the consequences surrounding it, shouldn't be too dire. Until it happened to me, at least. “What?” That had been my reaction when Peter had explained his plan to me just a couple of hours ago. When he'd rung me up to tell me he had a plan, this was far from my expectations. “You're joking.”“Oh, but I'm not, Mrs Alora.” The fact that he had a twinkle in his eyes did nothing to make me feel better. If anything, it made me feel all the more anxious. “You'll have to do it.”“Why?” The words tumbled past my lips immediately. “Why do I have to do it? This was not what we discussed and you know it.”“Actually,we never discussed anything.” He grinned and just before I could doubt or counter him, he dove head on into an explanation. “I only said I was going to talk to Eliaz. You didn't a

094Eliaz’s POV I stared at the young man sprawled on the chair just opposite me. His entire face was covered, and while I didn't mind that, today, I found it unsettling. No, not unsettling. I found it infuriating, and I wanted nothing more than to rip it off his face. “Just because you're staring at me, won't make it come off, you know.” I caught sight of a ghost of a smile making its way to his lips. “but if you do ask nicely, I just might let you take a peek.”He was teasing me, and trying to joke with the whole situation. If only he knew this wasn't the time, maybe he wouldn't be so foolish to joke around like that. I shook my head, willing the unnecessary thoughts to disappear. I deemed them unnecessary because they'd been plaguing my mind since she left, and he arrived. When I was getting ready for work today, the last thing I expected was to walk into Alora sitting on my office. I wouldn't say I was avoiding her, but I just didn't want to see her. Why? It was getting h

095 Cynthia's POV I was losing my patience, and impatient silence wasn't a sight to see. It was worse when I had no control of it, but nothing could compare to the struggle of trying to reign all of your impatience in, even though that was the last thing you wanted to do. Right now, if I said I was just waiting to die of combustion, I would be lying. I sucked in a sharp breath in between my teeth, before sitting up. I adjusted myself on the booth and figured that was the best time to do a little bit of sightseeing. My eyes jumped around the walls of the place. It was nothing fancy, just plain blue walls that held a bit of sparkly paint in them too. I guess the artist or whoever was in charge was trying to create some kind of artistic masterpiece with the place, and if I was being honest, I kinda did see it. Lowlights had been strung up around the place, bathing the room in a kind of holy and ethereal glow. It was filled with a handful of customers and I could tell it was a go

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

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
