The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Aurora's Triumph
Evelyn sat just behind Aurora, her fingers tightly clutching the hem of her skirt. She had poured her heart and soul into convincing her father to open a studio for her, managing to recruit Yvonne and secure the partnership with Wilde.Despite her meticulous scheming and efforts to overshadow Aurora, it was Aurora who had the last laugh.Sitting on either side of her, Chery and Zane each held a trophy, symbolically slapping Yvonne's face with their achievements.What Evelyn once deemed an insignificant studio, an endeavor by Aurora doomed to fail, and Chery, whom she looked down upon, had all become unshakeable forces in her life!After tonight, it wasn't just the entertainment industry that would witness a shift, but likely the direction of the Pendleton family itself!How could Aurora miss such a golden opportunity? Holding both a Best Actor and a Best Actress in her grasp, their youth did not detract from their talent, matching if not surpassing others in their craft.Now was the p
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Vespera's sick
Zane dragged Chery to stand beside Aurora with a bit of force. Adjusting her skirt, Chery inquired, "Aurora, what's up?"Aurora blinked in confusion, "What do you mean, "what's up'?"Chery, equally puzzled, responded, "Didn't you want to see me?"Aurora glanced at Zane, who was making faces at her. With a resigned look towards Chery, she revealed, "Yes, a CEO expressed interest in having you star in a commercial. What do you think?"Chery smiled, saying, "You make the call. I trust your judgment. If you think it's a good idea, then it's fine by me."After discussing other matters, Chery was whisked away by an assistant, wine glass in hand, to mingle.Aurora shot Zane a glare, questioning, "What's with the craziness now?"Zane, eyes following Chery's departing figure, retorted, "Didn't you say you'd stop bothering with me after the film festival? So, can I make my move now?"Pinching the bridge of her nose, Aurora sighed, "Just one request—can you keep it low-key?"Zane's face lit up w
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Elowen's Masquerade: The Car Accident Ruse
Evelyn pulled Elowen aside and said, "Elowen! Alaric has always been a good friend of yours, how can you let Aurora take advantage of him? Don't be fooled by her; she's the most beguiling of all!"Elowen looked at Evelyn with innocent eyes and asked, "What should I do then?""Hasn't Alaric always harbored lingering feelings for you? If you were to fall ill now, he would drop everything to see you!" Evelyn encouraged."Me? That doesn't seem quite right..." Elowen hesitated."What's not right about it? You're just trying to save Alaric. Don't be tricked by Aurora, that little vixen!" Evelyn declared.Elowen, still hesitant, nodded and said, "Well... okay then."When Alaric and Aurora arrived at the hospital, Aurora went to the ward while Alaric sought out Lysander. Lysander explained that Vespera's gastritis was due to her irregular eating habits over the past few days, and that she would be fine with an IV drip.As Alaric visited Vespera in her ward, Aurora was sitting beside her, chid
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife She Is Not Just Similar In Apperance To Olivia
Jasper's intention was to intercept this batch of goods. When it came to matters involving the Whitmore family, Jasper and his associates never showed mercy.Moreover, Dominic and Isabella Whitmore were only engaged, and Dominic was unlikely to lend the Abyss's power to the Whitmore family for their arbitrary use. Therefore, Jasper and his team had a great chance of winning.Jasper's call was to temporarily reassign Jay for a task and to see if Aurora could locate the storage site for this batch of goods. Carly even considered involving Aurora in the mission. After all, Aurora's shooting skills had dazzled everyone during the last conflict.Aurora was, in fact, eager to try. She missed the thrill of being back on the battlefield.It's strange and contradictory how people can be; on one hand, Aurora fought tooth and nail to maintain her current identity and the peaceful life she had, yet on the other, she yearned for the thrill of combat and bloodshed.However, Aurora had repeatedly as
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife The Final Answer?
After Heath and Kieran's plane landed, night had already fallen. The pair immediately rushed to City A and, upon reaching the warehouse designated by "Olivia," found it deserted, surrounded by overgrown weeds. Without guidance, who would have known there was a warehouse here?Before Heath and Kieran could advance, Eamon emerged from the warehouse, gesturing to Heath with a wave.Heath stepped inside, followed closely by Kieran."What's the situation?" Heath inquired, observing the empty warehouse.Olivia had specified delivery in three days. They had thought to catch her off guard by arriving early, but to their dismay, they found the place deserted.Eamon flicked a piece of paper in his hand, remarking, "Damn! We're a step too late."Heath took the paper, which bore the message in elegant script: "Mr. Fairbank, a man who keeps his promises is far more charming!"Discarding the note, Heath concluded, "It seems the legendary Olivia knew we'd try to ambush her and has already cleared ou
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife From Sabotage to Spotlight
As Aurora browsed through the photos in her timeline, she asked, "Vespera, hasn't Alaric been trying to contact you lately?"Vespera paused, then shook her head, "No, he hasn't reached out."Turning to Cheryl, Aurora inquired, "How are things going with Zane?"Cheryl's cheeks flushed, "What do you mean, 'how are things going'?"Aurora laughed, "Don't try to fool me. The whole world knows about Zane's feelings for you."Cheryl covered her face with a pillow, moaning, "Oh, come on! Zane is just being ridiculous!"Aurora pulled away the pillow, teasing, "Did he confess? Zane told me he'd do it after the film festival!"Cheryl lunged at Aurora, playfully scratching her, "So, you knew Zane was going to confess and you didn't tell me!"Dodging, Aurora laughed, "I knew! Haha! So, have our silver screen king and queen gotten together yet?"Blushing, Cheryl stood up, "No, not yet! We'll talk about it when we get back home!"She ran back to her room and closed the door. Aurora didn't pursue the
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Cheryl's Moment
Vespera offered a bashful smile, saying, "I might not even qualify as a designer…"Aurora patted Vespera on the shoulder, proclaiming, "Don't worry, after today, you'll become a household name as a designer! You've designed the battle gown for the queen of the silver screen!"Cheryl, equally thrilled, grasped Vespera's hand, declaring, "I would've been doomed today without you! Aurora, promise me, let's bring Vespera into our company pronto! We can't let this talent slip through our fingers!"Aurora nodded vigorously, "Immediately! Right away! We'll sign the contract as soon as we're back!"Vespera, with a laugh, urged, "Stop teasing, let's get the jewelry on and head out!"The assistant, lifting the original set of jewelry, fretted, "Can we still use these?"Originally, Cheryl's style was that of a Western diva, always adorned with diamonds that dazzled brilliantly, but now, switching styles made the previous jewelry seem somewhat mismatched.Aurora dashed into the room, pulled out a
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Venting Vengeance
Elowen was equally mortified. She had envisioned that Evelyn's sensuous gown would dazzle the entire event, catapulting Elowen, the designer, into the limelight. Little did she know that Cheryl's appearance would overshadow everything, making tomorrow's news all about Cheryl, leaving no room for Evelyn to shine.Cheryl, blissfully unaware of Evelyn's thoughts, was encouraging Aurora from her seat, "Aurora, you must sign Vespera to our company. She's a design prodigy! We can't let her slip through our fingers!"Aurora couldn't help but laugh, "Look at you, all anxious. Where could Vespera possibly escape to? Even if we're eager to sign her, it'll have to wait until after the film festival. Worry about yourself instead of Vespera!"Cheryl responded with a smile, "What's there for me to worry about? Having smoothly sailed through the red carpet, there's nothing left to fret over. Winning an award would be great, but if not, there's always next year!"Aurora chuckled, adding, "Exactly. Le

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,
