The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Isn't It True?
Mr. Whitmore wanted to go upstairs to rest, so Rosie immediately helped him up as usual. When he came back down, Aurora was still sitting on the living room couch, legs crossed, snacking on sunflower seeds and watching TV, looking totally chill.Rosie was usually a pretty level-headed guy, but thinking about Isabella stuck in that suburban villa while Aurora sat here enjoying everything that used to be Isabella's really got under his skin.So he walked up to Aurora and randomly asked, "Miss Aurora, how are the sunflower seeds?"Aurora was a bit thrown off but smiled slightly and said, "The seeds are alright, but the drama here is much more entertaining."Rosie glared at her, but Aurora couldn't care less about his attitude. From the day she returned to the Whitmore house, Rosie hadn't liked her. Even if she'd gone easy on Isabella, he still wouldn't have liked her. And Aurora had never planned on going easy on Isabella anyway.Aurora smirked and said, "From your reaction, I'm guessing
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Who am I to You
After Rosie left the living room, he immediately drove to Isabella's suburban villa.Although he hadn't shown much dissatisfaction earlier, Aurora's words had planted a seed in his mind. He thought, Aurora wasn't wrong - if Isabella really appreciated him, shouldn't she at least show it somehow? He'd loved Isabella for so many years and helped her countless times. He wasn't asking for much, just a word from her. All he wanted was a clear answer from Isabella.Thinking about this, Rosie became even more determined. He sped up and arrived at the villa.As he entered, a servant greeted him, "Mr. Rosie, is there anything we can do for you?"Rosie waved his hand and said, "I'm here to check on the young lady on behalf of Mr. Whitmore."He was in a hurry and brushed past the servant, heading straight to Isabella's bedroom. He knocked and immediately pushed the door open. Isabella was still playing the role of a crazy person, so she wouldn't tell anyone to come in anyway.Isabella had been s
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Who is He Trying to Charm
While Isabella was away from the company, Aurora wasted no time in establishing her position and connections within the company. She even managed to snag many of Isabella's projects. Word spread around the office that Aurora was actually the second granddaughter of the Whitmore family.Soon, everyone knew that Aurora and Isabella were cousins. This made their heated rivalry much easier to understand. Surprisingly, quite a few people were secretly rooting for Aurora. After all, Isabella had spent years at Whitmore Corp throwing her weight around as the Whitmore heiress, making everyone's life difficult. Now that Isabella was gone and Aurora had taken her place, things were looking up for many employees.Even though Mr. Whitmore tried his best to keep it under wraps, rumors about Isabella's mental breakdown spread like wildfire. The office gossip mill was working overtime, claiming that Isabella hadn't left to recover at home, but because she'd lost her marbles and even hurt people.The
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Rumor
Dominic watched Aurora's tsundere figure walk away and smirked. He knew that if he approached her directly about a partnership, she wouldn't give him the time of day, no matter how big the deal. But if he went through another company, she'd sign the contract without a second thought. By then, it'd be too late for her to back out. For the next couple of weeks, Aurora would have to face him every day. And when Dominic Ashcroft set his sights on someone, he always got what he wanted!But just because Aurora didn't give a damn about the incident, doesn't mean others didn't notice. The very next day, rumors about Dominic Ashcroft's bold pursuit of Aurora Pendleton were spreading like wildfire throughout Whitmore Corp.When Aurora walked into the office, she immediately sensed something was off. People kept sneaking glances at her, but would look away the moment she caught their eye. Others were huddled together, whispering and gossiping. The whole vibe was just weird as hell.Aurora caught
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Her Biggest Vulnerability
The next day, as soon as Aurora got to the office, she was informed that her schedule included attending a celebration party hosted by Dominic Ashcroft.Aurora looked at her itinerary and felt a headache coming on. The last thing she wanted was to have any connection with Dominic!But the company's schedule was set, and she couldn't refuse. Aurora had no choice but to put on her makeup, change into a formal dress, and head to the Ashcroft Corp's celebration party with her assistant.She casually wore a plain black evening gown and applied light makeup. If it weren't for considering Whitmore Corp's image, Aurora would've shown up in jeans. She really didn't want to attend this party at all.As soon as Aurora walked into the venue, Dominic spotted her. The Olivia in his memory had changed a bit. In the past, when Olivia accompanied him to events, she'd wear a simple black dress like this, trying to keep a low profile.But now, even in such an ordinary dress, Aurora still outshone everyo
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife She is Dead
Seeing Aurora's stunned look, Dominic smiled and said, "As long as you come back to me, I promise no one will affect your position in the Whitmore family. I guarantee it."Yeah, he promised. This time he'd make sure to keep Aurora on a tight leash. He wouldn't let this girl take a single step away from him ever again. From now on, Isabella and arranged marriages didn't matter. He only wanted this woman.But to Aurora, Dominic's promises meant nothing. He had once promised to give Olivia a legitimate status, but until Olivia's tragic death, that day never came.So Dominic was just a man who would say anything and make any promise to get what he wanted. And Aurora would rather be exposed than go back to Dominic's side. Or rather, she had never really been by his side in the first place.Aurora smiled and said, "Mr. Ashcroft, even if you showed those photos to the world, it wouldn't matter. I'm not Olivia. My grandfather will believe me."Dominic smiled at her, still looking like a gentl
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife A Reward for What?
Aurora's wrist hurt from Dominic's grip, and his eyes were scary as hell. But Aurora didn't flinch, staring right back at him as she said, "Listen up. Isabella killed Olivia. She's been lying to you for four years! Olivia's been dead this whole time! Your ace assassin? She died in the jungles of Cambodia. There's nothing left of her body!""Where's your proof?" Dominic glared at her like a hungry wolf. "Show me the evidence! Or else..."Aurora smirked. "You want proof? Fine."She pulled out her phone, dialed a number, and put it on speaker. A clear male voice came through: "Aurora?"Dominic froze. "Jasper Bennett?"There was a long silence, then Jasper's voice came back, sounding a bit sad: "Yeah, boss. It's me."Dominic was totally lost. Jasper and the others had vanished four years ago. He thought they'd defected, but nothing had happened to hurt the organization after they left. None of Dominic's people could track them down, so the whole thing just faded away. How the hell did the
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Get a Doctor
When they got home, Heathdragged Aurora straight to the bedroom and threw her on the bed. "Say that again," he demanded.Aurora, confused by his sudden request, asked, "Which part?""What you said in the garden," Heath replied.Aurora blinked and said, "That I'm loyal to you and won't marry anyone else?"Heath's face darkened. That wasn't the sweet talk he was hoping for. Aurora stifled a laugh, then wrapped her arms around Heath's neck. With a blush on her cheeks, she said, "There's only one place I belong, and that's with Heath Fairbank."Heath broke into a smile and kissed Aurora again, tenderly yet passionately.He had rushed to the party when he found out Aurora went to Dominic's event alone. He was both jealous and worried. After searching the garden, he finally found her, only to see Dominic getting handsy with her.He was furious and about to charge over when he overheard Aurora's words.She said, "I'm Heath Fairbank's fiancée."She said, "There's only one place I belong."She

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 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,
