The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Your Dirty Past Will Kill You
After three consecutive days of relentless work with the crew, it was finally confirmed that Zane had fully immersed himself into the character of Gideon. Only then did Aurora leave, feeling utterly exhausted. She felt like an old mother hen, fussing and bustling around for Zane's sake."The artist you choose, you have to support, even through tears…" she mused.Zane was diligently filming, occasionally taking breaks to dine with Aurora, but Chery was nowhere to be seen. Zane was growing impatient. Ever since he sensed that faint spark between him and Chery, he had been nothing but dedicated. However, Chery seemed indifferent, avoiding him altogether."Now, I can't even catch a glimpse of her," he complained to Aurora.Aurora shook her head helplessly. "Chery's deep into her role for the movie. She's closed off from the world.""Closed off for a movie?" Zane asked, puzzled."She's playing a character with depression. She's immersing herself, so don't expect her to hang out with us for

Evelyn sneered coldly. "If it weren't for those dirty dealings in the past, would you be sitting so securely as the legitimate heir of the Pendleton family? And now you want to disassociate from the family? Isn't it a bit late for that?"Maxwell looked at Evelyn with icy eyes and warned, "Don't test my patience. If you keep this up, I won't bother with your studio anymore!"Evelyn's media studio, although technically a subsidiary of the Pendleton Corp, heavily relied on Maxwell's influence. Without his approval, the Pendleton Corp wouldn't make things easy for her. Many things required Maxwell's name to be thrown in the mix. If Maxwell decided to wash his hands off it, her small studio wouldn't stand a chance in the fiercely competitive city.Evelyn panicked at Maxwell's threat. "I'm your own sister! If not me, who else would you care for? Aurora? Has Aurora even acknowledged you? If you don't help me take her down, once she takes over the Pendleton family, we'll both end up as the sh

Aurora snatched a cushion nearby and hurled it at Zane’s head, scolding, "Quit scheming on Chery!"Zane caught the cushion, scratching his head, and retorted, "What's so bad about me that you have to interfere?"Aurora glanced at him helplessly, "It's not about you being good or bad. It's about Chery's career, which could be ruined in an instant. This isn't just about you. I can't use Chery as a shield for you."Standing up and ruffling his hair, Zane suggested, "Then I'll go and talk to Chery directly, clear things up, okay?"Aurora was speechless.She grabbed him abruptly, "Stop right there! Don"t be reckless!"Zane, currently surrounded by rumors, seemed utterly unbothered, his mind preoccupied with thoughts of Chery. However, Chery's true feelings on the matter were a mystery.Aurora was equally frustrated. The dilemma was tricky; ignoring the situation could severely impact Zane's public image, but mishandling it could jeopardize his future career prospects even more.Moreover, s
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Grandpa Is Getting Old
But Aurora couldn't finish her sentence, the thought of parting with Heath was unimaginable, let alone coping if that day ever came.Vespera, busy dabbing at her tears and touching up her smeared makeup, managed a messy yet composed look. After tidying herself up, she forced a smile at Aurora, "It's okay! It's over!"Aurora mirrored her smile, reassuring, "It will pass."With her eyes still red, Vespera nodded. Aurora first dropped Vespera off at her home before returning to the Pendleton residence to have dinner with her grandfather.During the meal, her grandfather inquired, "Sweetheart, how are things progressing with Heath?"Caught off guard, Aurora responded, "There's no progress."Frowning, Grandpa pressed, "He hasn't mentioned marriage? You've been staying with him for so long, and he hasn't talked about marrying you?"Aurora's cheeks flushed as she protested, "Grandpa! What are you saying? I'm just staying there temporarily; nothing has happened...""That's not acceptable!" he

Aurora, with measured tones, addressed Chery, 'You know, Zane might have something he wants to discuss with you. Maybe you should have a heart-to-heart with him?'"Chery shook her head, "I'd rather not. If he's alright, then I'm heading back. With his temper, I'm not about to walk into the line of fire!"Aurora felt helpless. With Chery unwilling to budge, she couldn't assist Zane any further.Left with no choice, Aurora contacted Zane's assistant, urging him to keep Zane out of trouble. She even went as far as to change Zane's Twitter password, imposing a temporary ban on his social media activities.The storm seemed to pass, and not long afterward, Zane's The Pianist and Chery's Dual Facades were released consecutively.Dual Facades broke the year's box office record on its premiere. Chery's portrayal of a character with depression was hauntingly vivid, pulling audiences into an empathetic whirlwind.Her performance was so immersive, one could almost feel her internal struggle—her f
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Date Ruined?
Heath packed up his luggage, descended the stairs, and dug out a set of fishing gear, dragging Aurora along for a fishing adventure.Aurora was baffled again, "Where are we going fishing?""You'll see when we get there." Heath, carrying the fishing gear, led Aurora on a walk that lasted about twenty minutes, ending up beside a lake.Heath picked a spot to sit down, took out a fishing rod and bait, and looked at Aurora, "Do you know how to fish?""Of course!" Aurora responded immediately.How hard could fishing be? Just sit and wait for the fish to bite.Heath handed Aurora a fishing rod and suggested, "How about a little competition?"Aurora's interest was piqued instantly. She squatted next to Heath, mimicking his actions to fix the bait onto the hook.Taking a few steps back, Heath swung his arm, sending the hook flying far into the water, where the bobber steadied with a gentle sway. He then turned to watch Aurora cast her line.Aurora, attempting to emulate Heath, swung her rod, b
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife I Won't Stop You
Concerned Aurora might overindulge, Heath kept pouring her juice, and she contentedly sipped it without complaint.Lysander, observing the couple, inquired, "You two have been together for more than a minute. When are you going to make it official?"Caught off guard, Aurora lowered her head in silence, while Heath, busy serving her food, retorted, "Mind your own business."Lysander: "…"Alaric declared, "I don't care; I've already called dibs on the best man role. No one's taking that from me!"Heath glanced at him, teasing, "Are you sure you won't be the one getting married first?"Alaric's face fell as he lamented, "I wish! But who would marry me?"Lysander, taking a sip of wine, chided, "I don't mean to be harsh, but what's so great about Elowen? Just because you grew up together? I've grown up with plenty of girls, and I'm not hung up like you are!"Zane chimed in, siding with Lysander, "I'm with Lysander on this. Elowen is nothing but trouble. I don't know what my brother sees in
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Her Promise To Heath
When Alaric emerged, he found Zane with a sour expression. Alaric shot him a look, "What's with the long face? It's just a girlfriend issue. I don't even have one, why are you the one fussing?"Zane retorted, "Since when does this kind of thing depend on who came first?"Having drunk quite a bit, Alaric decided not to dwell on it. He sat down and heartily indulged in the food before him. The hot pot meal stretched from dusk well into the night, past ten.Aurora, after hours in the car and more hours fishing with Heath, touched by a hint of alcohol, was now fighting off sleep.Alaric, Lysander, and the others, buoyed by their drinks, seemed to grow more energetic, showing no signs of wanting to sleep.Aurora, barely holding up, turned to Heath, "You guys keep talking, I'm off to sleep."Heath nodded. Aurora went upstairs to her own room, took a shower, and fell asleep.Not long after Aurora left, Heath put down his glass, no longer interested in drinking, and decided to head upstairs.

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,
