The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Birthday
Heath guided her inside the dark, unlit house. Aurora suggested, "Alaric and the others haven't left yet, should we invite them?"Heath pulled her into the house without a word. As they neared the living room, Aurora heard a rustling noise. In another life, her assassin instincts would have triggered a defensive response.But with Heath by her side, she felt a sense of security.Reaching out for Heath, she realized he was no longer beside her.Suddenly, the living room burst into light, adorned with a myriad of colorful fairy lights, small lamps, and a dazzling chandelier.Before she could react, a crowd emerged, exclaiming, "Happy Birthday!"Aurora was engulfed in a sea of familiar faces – Alaric, Zane, Lysander, Daxton, Cheryl, Jay, Kieran, and even Vespera, a rare sight. They brandished sparklers and streamers, showering her with birthday wishes.
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife The Night
Cheryl and Daxton's aide whisked them away, while Lysander took his leave. Zane, having been aided to his quarters by the servants, was already enveloped in slumber.On the staircase, Alaric lay sprawled, muttering drowsily, "Heath, what truly ails me?"Vespera, happening upon the scene, shook her head in a mix of resignation and empathy, seated herself beside him, and queried, "Who declared you insufficient?"Alaric, briefly opening his eyes before letting them fall shut once more, lounged there, lazily humming, "If I'm so commendable, why does she not harbor affection for me?"Vespera, resting against the steps with her gaze lost in the celestial tapestry above, murmured, "He harbors no affection for me because of my perceived inadequacies..."Alaric, with a squint and a struggle, propped himself slightly, patted Vespera's head, and offered, "Perhaps it's he who lacks the merit for you!"Vespera, with a hint of a smile, suggested, "Perhaps that girl lacks the worthiness for you as w
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Returning Home
Aurora’s back pressed against Heath’s chest, the heat between them almost overwhelming. She coughed lightly, stammering, “I… need to use the bathroom…”Before she could finish, Heath gently adjusted her position, flipping over to be above her. Not pressing down on her, but his hands planted beside her ears, sending a wave of inexplicable nervousness through her.“You awake now?” Heath asked, locking eyes with her.Aurora closed her eyes in resignation, saying with a mix of frustration and sarcasm, “So, it turns out you were the one I slept with. It’s not like you lost anything in the process!”Heath was momentarily speechless.'Slept with me?' he thought, his pride slightly wounded. Did Aurora really believe she had somehow taken the upper hand in this situation?“So, you think you’re the one who slept with me?” Heath asked, his gaze becoming slightly dangerous as his hand slid to her waist, speaking through clenched teeth, “And you don’t feel like taking responsibility for that, do y

Aurora turned to see Sebastian and Madeline storm in, Sebastian demanding, “Where’s Aurora!”Aurora stood up, “What do you need?”Sebastian pointed at her, “You think you can hide here and I won’t know what you’ve done?”Aurora smiled, “I’m not hiding. I’ve always been here.”Sebastian, caught off-guard, ordered, “Go to the police station and set things straight!”Aurora crossed her arms, “What do you want me to say, Mr. Pendleton?”“Say that Sophia didn’t kidnap you! It was just a sisterly spat! No need to involve the police!” Sebastian bellowed.“So, you want me to perjure myself?” Aurora raised an eyebrow.Sebastian, infuriated by her lack of deference, yelled, “You ungrateful daughter! Can’t you act like one? Always causing trouble! Are you satisfied only if your own sister ends up in jail?”“Enough!” her grandfather slammed his cane. “You talk about Aurora not acting like a daughter. What about you as a father? Have you ever truly looked after her? Blaming her for trouble, when i
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife They're So Gentle
The next day, the servants packed Sophia's luggage as she prepared to leave for the airport, destined for the United States. Stepping out, Sophia encountered Aurora, dressed in a sharp business suit, ready for her studio. Sophia remembered then – Aurora owned her own company, and all the hot new stars were under her wing. Aurora glanced at them and continued walking, Jay already holding the car door open for her. Sophia suddenly blurted out, "Aurora, I will be back!" Aurora turned, a mocking smile on her face. Sophia looked haggard, her threat hardly intimidating. "Sophia, you're going to the States because I spared you. Otherwise, you'd be in jail. Know your place," she said coolly. Sophia clenched her teeth, "Aurora! You stole my shares, my career, my life! I will come back for revenge!" Aurora shook her head in exasperation, "Sophia, I've said

As soon as Silas stepped through his front door, he was summoned to the study. His father, Mr. Song, thrust plane tickets and documents into his hands. "Get to the airport now! Lay low abroad and then return!"Silas, pushing back, protested, "Dad! Why are you sending me out of the country all of a sudden?"Mr. Song, furious, hurled his phone at Silas, snapping, "You've crossed the Fairbanks! Now Heath Fairbank wants you in jail, and I can't save you! Get out before the police file a case!"Silas retorted angrily, "How was I to know messing with some minor model would cause this mess?"Mr. Song hadn't anticipated this either, but as it turned out, Silas had meddled with someone under the Fairbanks' protection.There was no recourse; Heath was known for his ruthless decisiveness in business. Anyone he targeted had little hope of escape.In a flurry, Mr. Song rushed Silas to the airport. He had only one son, and despite his faults, he couldn't bear to see him behind bars.As Silas queued
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife What About This One
Aurora felt a tinge of regret, having thought that the black coat would have been perfect for Heath.Vespera frowned and asked, "Why would Evelyn buy a men's coat when she doesn't have a boyfriend?"Aurora, somewhat annoyed, replied, "Who knows? She's probably just trying to spite me!"Vespera, seeing Aurora's mood, examined a dark red coat and said, "Aurora, this one is also nice. It has the same style as the black one, just in a different color."The saleswoman added, "Yes, and men often wear black, which is quite common. This dark red color will be more distinctive!"Aurora knew the red coat was okay, but wondered if Heath would wear it.Vespera encouraged her, saying, "Trust me, even if it's a sack, Heath will like it!"In the end, Aurora bought the dark red coat, planning to give it to Heath. If he didn't like it, she'd give it to Jay instead, not wanting to waste such an expensive item.As Evelyn left the store, she handed the coat to Elowen, saying with a smile, "Take it to Hea

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

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,
