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
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife So you do love Vespera
Alaric stared at Vespera, knowing instantly that she was upset. He desperately wanted to explain, but as soon as he opened his mouth to say, "Ves..." she cut him off."Good morning, Mr. Strider," Vespera said coldly, not even glancing his way.Her tone was polite but distant, as if their relationship had regressed to that of strangers. No matter what Alaric said, it felt like nothing. Vespera maintained a smile, treating him with impeccable courtesy that also served as an impenetrable barrier.Aurora shot Alaric a glare before following Vespera into the elevator. Alaric moved to chase after them, but Elowen clung to him even tighter, gripping his sleeve. "Alaric, I'm dizzy..." she whined.As the elevator doors closed, Vespera still refused to look at him. Alaric panicked. He tried to pry Elowen's hand off, determined to go after Vespera, but Elowen held on. "Alaric, where are you going?" she asked."I'm going after Vespera!" Alaric blurted out."Why are you chasing her? Do you like he
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Teasing Alaric
An officer approached Alaric, tapping him on the shoulder. "Excuse me, sir. Who are you?"Alaric froze. Why were the cop here?Before he could answer, the officer continued, "Are you a student at this university?"Alaric shook his head. The officer frowned. "We received a report of a suspicious person hanging around the women's dorm. You'll need to come with us.""Me? Suspicious? No, I'm not—I was just—" Alaric stammered, trying to explain."Save it for the station," the officer cut him off, leading Alaric downstairs and into the patrol car.Vespera watched from her window as Alaric was taken away. She quickly tidied up her room and crawled into bed, feeling drained from her stomach flu. All she wanted now was to rest.At the police station, the officers asked Alaric to explain himself. He sat there, utterly mortified.How could he possibly explain this? That he came to see his girlfriend, and she called the cops on him because she was mad? Talk about losing dignity.Alaric looked at
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife It's Vespera's handiwork
Just as Alaric was about to confess his feelings to Vespera, she jetted off overseas. He found himself anxiously waiting for her return, but each day he scrolled through her social media posts, seeing her living her best life abroad. Part of him wondered if it might be better if she never came back.Desperate for attention, Alaric commented on one of her posts: "Where are you? I'll fly over and be your personal bag carrier!"Vespera replied coolly, "Thanks for the offer, Mr. Strider, but I'm good."Alaric: "..."They say it's nearly impossible to appease an angry woman. Alaric used to think that was nonsense, but now, dealing with Vespera, he was starting to believe it. She really was impossible to placate!For days, his calls and messages went unanswered. If it weren't for her constant social media updates, Alaric would've thought her phone was broken.Two days before the film festival, which Vespera was attending with Aurora and Cheryl, a lovesick Alaric resigned himself to watching
