The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Anyone Would Be Scared
Aurora locked eyes with Isabella, who was glaring at her with hostility. Isabella quickly adjusted her expression but still looked flustered. She stammered, "Yes, yes, Dominic is... a bless for me."Even Thursto noticed something was off with Isabella and asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell, Isabella? Do you want to go upstairs and rest for a bit?"Isabella immediately nodded, forcing a smile, "Yes... I'm feeling a bit dizzy. I'll go lie down upstairs. Miss Aurora, I'm really sorry.""If you're not feeling well, you should have said so earlier instead of forcing yourself," Mr. Whitmore said, looking at Isabella with some displeasure. "We're all family. Stop referring to her as 'Miss Aurora' all the time. It sounds so formal!"Aurora also looked at Isabella and said, "If you're not feeling well, go rest, cousin!"Aurora deliberately emphasized the word "cousin," making Isabella even more jittery. She barely managed a goodbye before stumbling up the stairs in a panic.Isabella was
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Apologize
Aurora dropped her cup, and it shattered on the ground, spilling milk everywhere. When Mr. Whitmore and Thursto heard the noise and rushed over, they saw Isabella clutching a pillow, furiously hitting and yelling Aurora, yelling.Aurora didn’t say a word, just huddled on the floor, covering her head. Thursto pulled Isabella away, and Heath arrived right after, helping Aurora up and anxiously checking her over, asking, “Are you okay? Where are you hurt?”Aurora looked up at Heath, teary-eyed, and said, “I’m hurt all over; she hit me...”Heath’s face darkened as he held Aurora close, looking at Mr. Whitmore. “Is this how your family treats Aurora? With violence and abuse? Miss Whitmore, care to explain what you did to my fiancée?”Isabella, snapping out of her rage, stammered, “No... I didn’t...”“You didn’t? Looks like your family really thinks we’re fools!” Heath, furious, was ready to leave with Aurora.Mr. Whitmore blocked Heath and tried to calm things down. “Heath, this was Isabel
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife A Party
The two of them were joking around as they headed downtown, eventually finding a food street. Aurora suddenly got a craving for pizza, so Heath led her through a maze of streets to a pizza place, where they ordered a ton of food. Aurora was instantly happy and enjoyed a comfortable dinner.After eating, Aurora was so stuffed she could barely walk. Heath looked at her helplessly and said, "Are you a kid? You don't know when to stop eating?"Aurora, rubbing her stomach and sprawled out on a chair without any grace, replied, "I was hungry, okay? Besides, the pizza here is really good!"Heath shook his head in resignation and took Aurora for a walk to digest the food. They strolled for about an hour before heading back to the Whitmore house.When they got home, the family dinner had already ended, and the servants had cleared away the dishes. The dinner was originally planned for Aurora, but because of Isabella's actions, Aurora refused to attend, so it fizzled out. Mr. Whitmore hadn't ea
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Everything's Changed
The big deal today was that Mr. Whitmore had specifically asked Isabella to bring Dominic Ashcroft along. After Isabella fought with Aurora yesterday, it was a good chance to bury the hatchet today. Plus, it would be a good opportunity for Heath Fairbank to get to know Dominic Ashcroft a bit better.Heath wasn’t too thrilled about Aurora looking so good and drawing attention, mainly because Dominic Ashcroft was around today. Deep down, he was still pretty wary of Dominic.Isabella, holding Dominic’s arm, smiled and asked, "Dominic, do you still have some work to finish up? Maybe you should head back? This little party isn’t worth your time."Today, Dominic was unusually easy-going. He smiled and said, "No worries, it's been a while since I've visited your grandpa. It's time I said hello."Isabella was anxious. She desperately wanted Dominic to leave because she didn’t want him to see Aurora, who looked just like Olivia. She wasn’t sure Dominic would stay by her side after that.As nig
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife He's Not Worth It
This girl he raised all by himself should be his. She has always been his. Every glance, every emotion of hers should belong to him!Seeing Heath being led away by Mr. Whitmore to chat with others, Dominic got rid of Isabella and headed into the bathroom.Aurora had just finished up and was washing her hands when she saw Dominic. She froze for a moment and said, "Mr. Ashcroft, you should knock before entering."This was a party at the Whitmore family villa, so the bathroom wasn’t gender-specific. Guests would always knock first to make sure no one was inside."I did knock, Miss Aurora. Didn’t you hear?" Dominic Ashcroft asked.Aurora shook her head. "I didn’t hear anything."She found it ridiculous. Dominic Ashcroft was always like this, full of lies. Just like when he deceived her into thinking he would proudly have her by his side. She worked so hard to complete her tasks just for that day to come sooner. But in a blink of an eye, he had Isabella as his girlfriend. He told Aurora th
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife I Was Wrong
Anyway, Dominic Ashcroft had already left, the party was pretty much over, and most of the guests had already gone. Isabella stormed out, heading straight to confront Aurora.Aurora was chilling in a corner, munching on snacks with Heath, looking really happy about whatever they were talking about. As soon as Isabella saw Aurora, she was ready to tear apart that face which looked exactly like Olivia's. She rushed over and asked, "Aurora, what did you just do to Dominic?"Aurora was taken aback. Was Isabella seriously coming at her like this? Wow, typical spoiled princess, no brain at all.She smiled and said, "What do you mean, cousin? Dominic is a grown man. What could I possibly do to him?"Isabella snapped, "If you did nothing, why does Dominic have a bruise on his face?"Aurora chuckled and said, "That's a funny question, cousin. Just because he has a bruise, it's my fault? I'm not running a hospital, you know. Can't blame me for everything."Isabella gritted her teeth and said, "
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Thanks for Taking Me Along
Today, Aurora slept in until noon again. When she came downstairs, she got looks from the servants and a knowing smirk from Mr. Whitmore. Aurora pretended not to notice and walked into the dining room.One of the servants brought her a bowl of soup, placing it in front of her. Aurora lowered her head and started sipping the soup when Mr. Whitmore suddenly remarked, “Aurora, take care of yourself. Have some soup to replenish your strength.”Aurora almost choked on her soup and started coughing into a napkin. Heath, ever attentive, patted her back and poured her some water, gently saying, “Take your time. No one’s going to take it from you.”In between her coughing and drinking, Aurora shot Heath a fierce glare. If it weren’t for him keeping her up, she wouldn’t be sleeping in every day.Heath, completely ignoring her glare, smiled at her and said, “Eat more, you need the energy.”Aurora muttered under her breath, “Energy for what, exactly?”After hastily finishing her meal, Mr. Whitmor
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife I Didn't Hear
Dominic was chilling in the backseat, barely glancing up when the car door opened. He didn’t need to see to know it was Isabella Whitmore, thanks to her expensive perfume. If Mr. Whitmore hadn’t specifically asked him to accompany Isabella to meet some clients, he definitely wouldn't be wasting his time here.Not five seconds after the door closed, the front passenger door opened. Dominic looked up, surprised. It was Aurora climbing in. He eyed her curiously, but she acted like he wasn't even there, buckling up and fiddling with her phone, waiting for the driver to start the car.Dominic shot Isabella a look. She awkwardly smiled and said, "Aurora just got back home. Grandpa asked me to let her learn the ropes, so I’m bringing her along to meet the clients today."Dominic nodded without a word, and Isabella shut up too, clearly uncomfortable. Aurora, oblivious to the conversation behind her, stayed silent. The car ride quickly turned into an awkward, deathly silence.Out of nowhere, D

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,
