The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife I want him, dead or alive
Aurora jumped up from her chair, and the countdown that had stopped suddenly started again, even faster than before. In the blink of an eye, it reached 15 seconds. The beeping sounded like a death sentence. Heath quickly sat back down, and the countdown returned to normal, ticking away second by second."It's a cluster bomb," he explained. "I cut the main fuse, but it triggered the submunitions. If we leave the chair now, at this countdown speed, it'll explode in about seven or eight seconds. I can't disarm it."Aurora stared at Heath sitting in the chair. He looked as dashing as when they first met, even covered in blood and dust. His brilliance couldn't be dimmed.Heath looked at Aurora and said, "Rory, I'll count to three, and then we'll run together. Can you make it for about fifteen seconds?"Aurora clutched her wounded leg and nodded. "Yes, I can do it!""Babe, everything will be fine," Heath reassured her. "One, two, three, run!"Aurora sprinted towards the warehouse exit with
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife You are pregnant
After Eamon dropped Heath off at the hospital, the doctors rushed him straight into the ER. Lysander and Alaric were already on their way. No one could have imagined things would turn out like this so suddenly.When Eamon finally remembered about Aurora, she had already been missing for a night. He'd been so focused on Heath's critical condition that he assumed his men had brought Aurora to the hospital too. But he hadn't seen her, and no one else had either. That's when it hit him - he'd lost her.Losing Aurora was a big deal, to say the least. Even if Heath woke up fine, he'd probably have a fit when he found out Eamon had lost her.Eamon immediately sent people to search, even checking Dominic's company. They couldn't find Dominic or Aurora. Eamon realized Dominic must have taken her.When Aurora hazily woke up, she was disoriented to see Dominic by her bedside instead of Heath. Even with his drop-dead gorgeous face, Aurora couldn't care less. All she wanted was Heath.Sitting up,
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Would Heath make it
Dominic felt like a complete loser. Even in this situation, he was still trying to put Aurora down gently to avoid hurting her. Meanwhile, Aurora gripped the knife handle tightly and asked, "You think I'd go with you just because you blew up Heath?"Dominic held onto Aurora's hand, trying to stop her from pushing harder. He took a sharp breath and said, "You haven't changed a bit... still as ruthless as ever."Aurora suddenly yanked the knife out and grabbed an ashtray from the table, smashing it over Dominic's head. He instantly blacked out. Aurora immediately called for help, and when the servants rushed in, they found her curled up on the floor, crying and clutching her stomach in pain. They knew she was pregnant, and seeing all the blood and two unconscious people, they frantically called for an ambulance.As soon as they got to the hospital, Aurora snuck away. She dashed to the nurse's station and asked breathlessly, "Do you have a patient named Heath Fairbank? He was brought in
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Dump her in the forest
Aurora's eyes were terrifying. In that moment, she tore away all pretense. She was no longer the sweet granddaughter of the Whitmore family. She was Olivia, a ghost risen from the dead, a demon returned from hell!Isabella stared at her, fear creeping in. Perhaps Aurora really would kill her. She didn't want to die—even being locked up by Dominic was preferable to death! But surely Aurora wouldn't actually kill her? She'd go to prison for murder!Aurora smiled coldly. "You think I wouldn't dare kill you? Isabella, according to the police report, you died in an explosion by the sea. No body was found. You don't exist anymore. If I kill you, no one will ever know!""You... you wouldn't!" Isabella shrank back, wincing at the pain in her thigh.Aurora reached out to Eamon, who hesitated. He wasn't sure if this was what Heath would want. Was it right to let Aurora's hands be stained with blood?"Eamon," Aurora said firmly, "give me the gun."Eamon looked at her uncertainly. "Aurora, let me
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Mr. Fairbank... he's awake
Aurora couldn't tell if it was the pregnancy or something else, but her emotions were all over the place lately. She'd wake up in the middle of the night, tears streaming down her face for no apparent reason. Deep down, she knew it was because she missed Heath so much. He was lying in that hospital bed, stable but showing no signs of waking up.She'd finally broken free from the cycle of revenge that had consumed her for four years. But now, the man who had promised to grow old with her wasn't there to see it through.Apart from the deep longing for Heath, Aurora felt like life was pretty good. She never thought she'd have this kind of stability, let alone be married with kids on the way.It wasn't until her baby bump became noticeable that it really hit her – she was pregnant. Just when she thought her life would be nothing but misery, here she was, carrying twins. Heath's babies.During her pregnancy, Ms. Luce came to stay for a few days. She shared stories about Aurora's mom when s
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Hold me tight
"What?" Lysander was stunned. This news hit him harder than when Aurora went into labor. He jumped to his feet and sprinted towards Heath's room.While they had all been concerned about Aurora's pregnancy, Lysander, Alaric, and the other guys had a deeper, unspoken worry about Heath. He was their brother, someone they'd grown up with and faced life and death alongside. His coma had been devastating not just for Aurora, but for all of them. They'd been hoping for a miracle, and now it seemed one had finally arrived.Lysander rushed into the hospital room. There, sitting up in bed, was Heath. Though dressed in a hospital gown and looking a bit gaunt, he still exuded an undeniable presence. The skin grafts on his face had healed well, erasing the scars that had been so shocking when Lysander first saw him in the hospital. Lysander felt a lump in his throat, his eyes stinging with unshed tears."Heath, you're finally awake," he managed to say.Heath looked at him blankly. "Who are you?"L
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife First-time parents
Heath hugged Aurora tightly, trying his best to comfort her. Lysander had specifically warned that women shouldn't cry during postpartum recovery, as it wasn't good for their health. So Heath had to figure out how to handle the situation. After much coaxing, he finally managed to calm Aurora down.Aurora looked at Heath sitting in his wheelchair and asked, "Can you stand up now?"Heath nodded, saying, "Walking's still a bit awkward, but I can manage."Aurora scooted over and patted the bed. "Come lie with me."Heath obliged, getting into bed and holding Aurora in his arms. "Get some sleep, okay?""Will you still be here when I wake up?" Aurora asked, sounding a bit childish.Heath chuckled, "Of course. I'm never leaving you again."Aurora closed her eyes, nestled in his arms, with traces of tears still on her cheeks. Heath kissed the corner of her eye and closed his own eyes. His body hadn't fully recovered yet, and he needed rest too. Being next to Aurora was where he slept most peac
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife She won't marry me
It took about two or three days of Heath being by Aurora's side before she truly accepted that he was back in her life for good. She no longer insisted on him holding her while they slept, and she herself was able to rest more peacefully.Aurora had given birth naturally to the twins, without any major complications. However, the delivery had been quite strenuous, requiring an episiotomy. As a result, she stayed in the hospital for an extra week to recover and have her stitches removed before being discharged.On the day of her release, Kieran arrived early with the car, waiting at the hospital entrance. Lysander wheeled Heath out, followed by Vespera and Cheryl supporting Aurora. The hired nanny carried the babies, with the rest of the entourage bringing up the rear. As they made their grand exit, Alaric joked, "We look like a royal procession!"Vespera playfully kicked him in response, while Zane watched his brother get told off with glee. He then scurried off to help Cheryl with he

The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife The End
The next morning, Vespera was woken up at dawn, barely getting a few hours of sleep. Known as a dedicated designer, she was usually the first one awake, but today she could barely keep her eyes open. As the stylist worked on her hair and makeup, Vespera sat half-dazed, drifting in and out, completely unaware of the hands tugging her in all directions.Two hours later, with her hair and makeup done, Vespera finally slipped into her wedding dress. The reality hit her, and for the first time, she fully realized she was about to get married.Memories flooded back, particularly that first encounter with Alaric. He’d been sprawled on the steps outside, a bit too tipsy, looking up with half-closed eyes, asking, “What’s wrong with me?” Vespera, surprising even herself, had replied, “Nothing at all.”Back then, he was just a bright, headstrong young man, carrying so many dreams and frustrations. Somewhere along the way, he’d grown into this strong, grounded man. And somehow, after everything,
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Ready to Be Married
It wasn’t until a few days after their engagement that it even crossed Vespera’s mind to ask about the villa.Alaric confirmed he’d bought it, explaining that he’d thought she might like it and decided to go for it. As for renovations, he wanted to wait until she officially agreed to everything; after all, they’d eventually need their own place—living with Zane forever wasn’t exactly an option.By now, the news of Alaric and Vespera’s engagement had spread everywhere. Alaric was practically ready to announce it to the world on social media, but thankfully, Aurora stepped in, suggesting he keep things low-key since he was the company CEO. Plus, Vespera wasn’t exactly a fan of the public spotlight.Alaric reluctantly held back but couldn’t resist dropping hints in his friend group chat every other day. Heath and the rest were used to it by now—except Lysander, who constantly complained that he was drowning in a sea of "lovey-dovey vibes," being the lone single guy among them.When Auror
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife I'm Impressed
The next morning, Alaric woke up, remembering last night’s events. He pinched himself—no, it wasn’t a dream. Vespera had actually said yes.He jumped out of bed, showered, changed, and even straightened his tie before driving to her studio. There she was, focused on work, wearing a stylish dress and light makeup, looking absolutely radiant.When he walked in, Vespera looked up, surprised. “Finally awake?” she asked with a smirk.Alaric simply nodded, taking her hand without a word and leading her downstairs. She stumbled after him, asking, “Where are we going?”Alaric gently nudged her into his car, driving her toward a villa. Vespera was clueless and a bit shocked, glancing around, unsure of what was happening.They finally arrived at a beautiful villa. Alaric opened the door, and she asked, “Did you just buy this?”&n
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Alaric Proposed
The next morning, Alaric was finally over his fever. When Vespera woke up, he was already waiting in the living room. After breakfast, they both headed to their respective offices.Aurora’s team reported they’d successfully returned to the Whitmore family’s estate. For her, that had been a fierce battle. For Vespera, however, the real challenge lay ahead: the design competition.Ever since her last conversation with Yvonne, where Yvonne had hinted that everything she had was due to Aurora and Alaric’s support, Vespera had been determined to prove herself. She wanted to be worthy of Alaric and was pouring all her energy into this competition.After submitting her designs, Vespera anxiously waited at home for results. When the winners were finally announced online, she saw her name in second place. The relief and pride were overwhelming. She had finally achieved something worth sharing with Alaric. Now, with the award ceremony in the UK, she had no choice but to let him know.Expecting
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife She Misses Him
Vespera had reclaimed her brand, and Alaric seemed to be maturing by the day, treating her like she was his entire world. Everything seemed to be falling into place.After that showdown in Alaric’s office with Elowen, she hadn’t shown her face again. Vespera figured it was over, that Elowen had finally given up. Everyone else thought the same.But on the day they took graduation photos, Aurora disappeared. Heath and Alaric eventually tracked her down — Elowen had taken her. Vespera was frantic, blaming herself for not protecting Aurora better.Heath and Alaric couldn’t stop Aurora’s flight at the airport, so they booked tickets to the UK to get her back. Vespera had too much to handle here to join them, so she only saw Alaric off at the airport.He held her close, whispering, “Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon, and Aurora will be safe.”Vespera hugged him back tightly. She trusted him. Alaric and Heath would get this done — Elowen had crossed a line that couldn’t be ignored, and she knew
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife One Last Time
This past week, Aurora had been tirelessly setting up to counter Evelyn and her allies, Yvonne and Elowen. Meanwhile, Alaric, working alongside Aurora to reclaim Elowen’s brand.A week later, the press conference went ahead as planned. Alaric helped Vespera pick an outfit, stayed until she’d finished her makeup, and then drove her to the venue himself.The conference, led by Evelyn, was a disaster for her team. They failed to take over Aurora’s company, couldn’t drive her out of the Pendleton family, and made no progress in placing Yvonne and Elowen as CEO and head designer. Their plans had backfired entirely.Leaving the venue, Yvonne, clearly shaken, stepped in front of a car without looking and was hit, blood pooling around her. Vespera, stunned and dizzy at the sight, would have collapsed if Alaric hadn’t steadied her.Frantically, Vespera fumbled with her phone to call home, stammering, “It’s Yvonne… she’s bleeding so much…”As someone unaccustomed to such violence, Vespera was t
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife We’ll Get Everything Back
Alaric looked at Vespera with an innocent expression and said, “It’s not what you think. I’m not a creep.”“Not a creep?” Vespera glared at him. “Then what were you doing in my room?”Alaric almost groaned. “If I told you I was here to give you a massage, would you believe me?”“Total creep!” she shouted. “Sneaking into my bed while I was asleep!”Alaric shot back, “I did not! When I woke up, you were the one curled up on me!”Vespera paused, recalling the moment she woke up. Okay, maybe she had been cozying up to him. Wait a second—was he implying she was the one acting out of line?Seeing her hesitation, Alaric grinned smugly. “See? You were just as comfortable with it!”“Get out!” Vespera yelled.Alaric left the room, trying not to smile too much. Sure, nothing happened, but just getting to hold her felt amazing. Although… his shoulder was sore from her leaning on him all night, so he headed back to his room to grab a few more hours of sleep.Vespera, alone in her room, listened as
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Close Your Eyes
Vespera walked ahead, casual and carefree in a T-shirt and shorts, no makeup, and even bare of high heels, while Alaric trailed close behind with a jacket in hand, grinning like a fool. Everyone in the lobby couldn’t help but notice—their usually composed CEO was tagging along, practically beaming.Catching up to her, Alaric draped his jacket over her shoulders. “How could you leave without dressing warmer? You’ll end up with a stomach ache tonight,” he said, his voice soft with affection.Vespera felt a warm flutter in her chest but stayed quiet, letting his jacket settle around her as they walked out. Alaric was thrilled she hadn’t brushed him off; emboldened, he slipped his hand into hers, wrapping her cold fingers in his.For a moment, she stiffened, then relaxed, letting her hand nestle securely in his. Together, they headed to the parking lot, Alaric practically floating with joy. This felt better than winning the lottery!Bringing her home, Alaric felt out of his depth—things h
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Do You Love Me
Alaric stood in his office, with Elowen right in front of him, her hand tugging at his tie, a faint smirk hidden beneath her slightly indignant expression.Seeing the scene, Vespera nearly turned around and left right then and there. But she reminded herself of her purpose for coming today. She was done hiding from Elowen. Even if Alaric wasn’t hers in the end, she’d be damned if he ended up with someone like Elowen.So Vespera strode into the office, fixed her gaze on them, and asked, “What’s going on here?”At the sound of her voice, Alaric spun around, fumbling to free his tie from Elowen’s grip. But Elowen held tight, glancing over at Vespera with a slight smile. “Miss Thornfield? You’re here?”Vespera closed the door behind her, gave a slight nod, and asked again, “What exactly is this about?”Elowen smirked. “Oh, it’s nothing. I just wanted to ask Alaric if I could borrow a few people to help promote my new fashion line. Not sure if he’s on board with it, though.”“Not a chance,
