The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife You're not still waiting for Quinn, are you?
Alaric felt like an idiot. He'd spotted Elowen looking bored in the crowd earlier. The only reason she'd come to this party was for Heath, but as luck would have it, Heath was out of town on business. Now Elowen had no one to focus on.Alaric knew that if he asked Elowen to dance now, she'd definitely say yes. But suddenly, he didn't want to. He was tired of always being Elowen's second choice. As Lysander had once said, even if you're a doormat, you've got to draw the line somewhere.So he ignored Elowen's gaze and turned away, only to see Vespera getting up to leave. Without hesitation, he walked over to intercept her. She was his only chance to save dignity and not look like he was running away with his tail between his legs.Alaric looked down at Vespera's smiling face and said, "I'm being ridiculous, aren't I?"Vespera paused, then shook her head. "There's nothing ridiculous about liking someone."Alaric's mood lifted instantly. He danced with Vespera, then gently held her hand a
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Then what am I
The next morning, Alaric showed up bright and early to pick up Vespera, driving her to Lysander’s clinic where Lysander unwrapped her bandages and changed her dressings.Her once pristine hands were now crisscrossed with cuts—some scabbed over, some still fresh with traces of blood. Not a single spot on her pale palms was unscathed; the sight was shocking.While replacing the bandages, Lysander glanced up at a tense Alaric and joked, “Feeling sorry now, right?”Alaric blinked, then nodded, “Yeah, it hurts to see.”Vespera's cheeks flushed; she couldn't understand why Alaric was talking nonsense like that.But Alaric was being honest. Seeing those wounds on her hands really did hurt him.After the bandages were changed, Alaric drove Vespera back home. She thanked him politely, without much warmth or coldness—just polite enough to leave Alaric feeling powerless.From then on, Alaric was at her door every day, on time, to take her for her appointments. A week later, her stitches were rem
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife He's getting married
Alaric felt powerless and frustrated. He desperately wanted to explain things but had no idea where to start; he hadn't even sorted out his own thoughts. He knew he loved Elowen deeply, but lately, the person on his mind wasn't Elowen—it was the girl standing right in front of him.Vespera took a step back, putting distance between herself and Alaric. She moved to the curb and hailed a taxi. Before getting in, she looked back at Alaric and said, "You love Elowen. Everyone in the city knows that. Maybe you should figure out what you really want before you come looking for me."Without waiting for a response, Vespera got into the cab, which drove her back to her family's home. Alaric followed behind in his car, watching as Vespera got out and disappeared inside.Vespera knew he was tailing her but refused to look back. She kept her gaze fixed on the passing city lights, trying to clear her mind and avoid the confusion Alaric was causing her. It wasn't just Alaric who was struggling; she
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife This is the guy you were into?
Vespera realized just how foolish and wrong her decision was as she stood at the wedding venue.She’d impulsively agreed to attend, stuttering her acceptance without thinking it through. She hadn’t expected Quinn to actually send her an invitation. She wasn’t sure what Quinn’s intentions were. Did he really not know she liked him, or was he just oblivious enough to invite her to his wedding?Now, surrounded by unfamiliar faces, Vespera felt completely out of place. She didn’t know a single soul, and every time someone asked how she knew the bride and groom, she struggled to answer. Friends? That felt too close. Childhood friends? Too personal. Neighbors? Too distant. Everything about this felt wrong, and Vespera wished she could just vanish.When Quinn came over to greet her, Vespera’s awkwardness reached its peak. They hadn’t seen each other in years—not even a phone call or email between them. The last time they spoke was when she had nervously called him, asking if he was really ge

Leaving the wedding venue, Vespera hung her head and asked, "Why did you come?""I'm hungry," Alaric said abruptly."What?" She couldn't quite follow his train of thought."Hungry," Alaric repeated."Oh, let's go eat then," Vespera suggested.Alaric nodded and led Vespera across the street to a restaurant, holding her hand the entire way. Vespera didn't pull away, and they walked into the place together.As soon as they entered, a waiter approached and asked, "What would you like to order, sir and madam? We have a new couple's set menu if you'd like to try it."Vespera froze, about to deny the assumption, but Alaric nodded and said, "We'll have that."After the waiter left to prepare their meal, Alaric turned to Vespera and asked, "If I hadn't shown up, how were you planning to deal with Quinn?""I..." Vespera hesitated, unsure how to respond. She hadn't really thought it through. She'd acted on impulse, and now it seemed like her lingering feelings for Quinn had vanished."So... why
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife An outsider
Alaric looked up at Vespera, his heavy breathing filling the room.Vespera stared at him, puzzled. "What... what are you doing?""Don't like Quinn anymore. He's not good enough for you!" Alaric blurted out.Vespera blinked, taken aback by the urgency in Alaric's eyes. Almost instinctively, she nodded. "Okay."Alaric froze for a moment, then broke into a genuine smile – a rare sight despite his usually cheerful demeanor. He was starting to understand why this meant so much to him. Maybe Lysander was right; he had unknowingly drifted away from Elowen. The person who occupied his thoughts now seemed to be Vespera.He couldn't pinpoint exactly when it had happened. Perhaps it was when he received that cheap but heartfelt gift from her, or the numerous times she had saved him from awkward situations at parties. Whatever it was, he realized he hadn't thought about Elowen in ages. Even the knowledge of Elowen's feelings for Heath didn't hurt as much anymore. It was as if Vespera had become t
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Why do you care
Vespera returned to her room, sat on the bed, and couldn’t get Yvonne’s words out of her head. All the fun she'd been having with Alaric evaporated, leaving only self-doubt behind.She felt conflicted and wronged—Alaric had flat-out asked her to stop liking Quinn, and she’d agreed without thinking. But now, she wondered, why did she have to agree?Alaric had never said he liked her. He never asked if she liked him back, nor if he still had feelings for Elowen. He just crashed the wedding, swept her away like some knight on a white horse, and in the whirlwind of it all, she’d just gone along with it.But she forgot that princes end up with princesses, and in Alaric’s story, the princess was Elowen, not her.He hadn’t promised her anything, not even a hint of commitment—just the fleeting heat of that one night and that electrifying kiss that gave Vespera a misplaced hope. And Yvonne’s words? They were like a slap in the face, jolting her awake.Her phone suddenly buzzed—Alaric’s message
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife False hope
After the film festival awards ceremony, Aurora was attending the dinner party with Cheryl and Zane, who had just won Best Actor and Best Actress. Everyone seemed eager to chat with the newly crowned stars.Zane had finally managed to escape the clutches of a B-list celebrity and was scrolling through his phone in a quiet corner when he got a call from Vespera. Upon hearing that she was sick, he immediately stood up and made his way towards Aurora.Alaric was deep in conversation with Aurora about their upcoming work plans when Elowen sidled up to them. "Alaric, I have a friend I'd love to introduce you to," she said, batting her eyelashes.Before Alaric could respond, Zane rushed over and grabbed his arm. "Bro, Vespera's in the hospital! She's sick!"Hearing this, Alaric forgot all about Elowen and quickly left the party, heading straight for the hospital.He glanced at Aurora. "Aren't you coming? Vespera's really ill!"Only then did Aurora realize Zane wasn't just messing around. Sh
