The Billionaire's Runaway Ex-Wife A battle
“Mommy, are you okay?” Leon’s small voice broke through Roseanne’s thoughts.She quickly nodded, forcing a soft smile. “Yes, sweetie. You woke up very early.”He nodded, looking up at her with those innocent eyes. “Mommy, did you tell Dad?”He hesitated before asking, “I can call him Dad, right?”Roseanne’s smile wavered as she hid the pain beneath it. “Of course, baby.”Leon’s face lit up with excitement. “Okay, I’m going to him then!” He started to run towards Nicholas’s study but stopped abruptly, rushing back to plant a quick kiss on her cheek. “Thank you, Mommy!” Then, without another word, he dashed off, his little voice echoing down the hallway. “Dad! Dad!”Nicholas had spent the night in his study, his mind was a storm of conflicting emotions. When he heard Leon’s voice, he froze and was unable to believe what he was hearing. The door creaked open, and Leon ran straight to him, hugging his legs tightly. “Dad!”Nicholas stared down at him as disbelief was etched across his face

“Nicholas…” Roseanne’s voice trembled as she spoke and her fear was evident in her shaky whisper. Nicholas immediately stepped closer while gently holding her by the shoulders to steady her. Coco had only been his daughter for a few hours, and now Sabrina’s claim threatened to tear that happiness apart. The thought of losing Coco was unbearable, but his heart ached even more for Roseanne, who had raised the little girl for almost six years as her own. He looked into her eyes which were filled with fear, and said firmly, “Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone take our daughter away from us. She will always be ours.”But Roseanne’s fear wasn’t just for Coco; it was for the battle they were about to face. If it were just Sabrina, the fight would have been manageable. But seeing Vance Taylor’s assistant there made it clear that they weren’t just up against Sabrina, they were up against the entire Taylor family. A family led by the president of the country. Vance Taylor was a man who practically

Today was the day Roseanne had to face the court. Nicholas had ensured that they were ready for anything by hiring the best lawyer in the country. They knew the case could take a turn for the worse, but they were prepared.“Miss Deluca,” the lawyer advised, “no matter what happens, do not let them provoke you. Even if they try to play on your emotions, you must remain calm. Miss Taylor might try to raise your temper to make you look unfit to be Charlotte’s mother in front of the judge.”As the case began, tension filled the courtroom. This was a high-profile case involving two of the most powerful families in the United States. The pressure on the judiciary was immense, so a special judge had been appointed to oversee the proceedings.The opposing lawyer began, “Your Honour, Charlotte De Luca was born to Sabrina Taylor and Nathaniel Hart five years ago. At that time, Miss Taylor was suffering from depression. She felt unable to care for her daughter and asked Mr. Hart to take full cust

It had been a month since the court battle began, and the strain was evident. Nicholas and Roseanne were running on little sleep, working tirelessly day and night to protect their family.“Nicholas, have something to eat. We have to leave in 15 minutes,” Roseanne reminded him.They had another hearing that day. The night before, they stayed up late discussing the case until they both fell asleep in the study. With only a few hours of rest, they were back at it again. The tension between them had faded and was now replaced by a shared focus on saving their family. But even in this stressful time, Roseanne hadn’t forgotten to show she cared for Nicholas, and he noticed her efforts.During today’s hearing, Roseanne argued that if Sabrina was healthy, why had she never come into Coco’s life before? Why now, when the little girl had a stable home? But Sabrina countered, saying she believed her daughter was in a safe environment until Nathaniel’s death made her fear for Coco’s future.The c

Sabrina’s desperation was clear as she pleaded with her stepmother, "Bella, please, I need that document! If I have it, I can win custody of my daughter."Bella, still focused on the papers in front of her, barely looked up. Her indifference only fueled Sabrina’s frustration. Turning to her father, she begged, "Dad, please, ask Bella! I know she has a copy of the custody papers I gave Nathaniel. I remember including a condition that if anything happened to him, I would take care of our daughter. I don’t even know if he fully read what he was signing, but that condition was in there. Bella has that document, I’m sure of it!"Vance who was torn between his love for his daughter and his respect for his wife, looked at Bella with pleading eyes. "Darling, please…"Bella shot him a sharp glance, silencing him immediately. Turning her attention to Sabrina, she finally spoke, her voice laced with anger, "What do you think you’re doing, Sabrina?"Sabrina tried to explain, "You have to understan

Sabrina presented the document in court, and the case seemed to shift in her favour. However, the judge still withheld the final judgment. Feeling defeated, Nicholas and Roseanne left the courtroom. Once they were alone, Roseanne lay her head on Nicholas’s lap and began to cry. She could no longer hold any more. She tried so hard yet she was losing. She was losing her daughter and family. She did not want to lose her daughter. “Hey,” Nicholas whispered softly, “We haven’t lost yet. Let’s stay hopeful.”But Roseanne felt like all hope was gone. Even Nathaniel had sided with Sabrina. Who was she to keep fighting? Nicholas held her close as she wept, trying to comfort her, but the weight of the situation was too much to bear.Although he was saying that there was hope, she knew that there was none. He was just consoling themselves with the lie that there was hope. Coco and Leon, who had been present during the hearing were also deeply troubled. As the family left the court, they spotted

The next day in court tension was palpable as everyone anticipated the final judgment of the most high-profile custody case of the century. However, the atmosphere shifted dramatically when an unexpected figure entered the courtroom. It was a tall, elderly man dressed in a long black trench coat. His presence immediately drew whispers from the crowd, and the curious murmurs spread like wildfire as he made his way to the front. He was not someone unknown by the people of the country as he was quite a familiar face on television. “Mommy, that’s Grandpa Boss,” Coco whispered, her small hand clutching Roseanne’s tightly.Roseanne looked down at her daughter, surprised. “You know him?”Coco nodded her innocent eyes wide. “When I went on a trip with Daddy, he introduced me to Grandpa. While Daddy was busy with work, Grandpa used to take care of me.”Roseanne exchanged a bewildered glance with Nicholas, who looked just as confused. Neither of them had expected this mysterious figure to appea

After a tense and quiet wait, the judge finally spoke. “The court has reached a decision,” he began, his voice echoing in the quiet courtroom. “Based on the evidence presented, it is determined that full custody of Charlotte De Luca will be granted to Miss Sabrina Taylor, her biological mother. This decision reflects not only her legal rights but also the expressed wishes of the late Mr. Nathaniel Hart.”The judge turned to face Roseanne, his expression softening as he spoke. “Miss De Luca, you have no legal right to the child. If Miss Taylor chooses, she may permit you to remain part of Charlotte’s life.”Sabrina stood up, her posture rigid and her face set in a determined expression. “Your Honor,” she said, her voice firm but devoid of warmth, “I do not wish for Miss De Luca to be a part of my child’s life. Allowing her to stay involved would complicate my efforts to bond with Charlotte and establish a stable family environment.”The judge looked at Roseanne and Nicholas, their face

The birthday party had ended and the Hart family gathered to leave. “Mr. King, we will take our leave now,” Leon said respectfully. Carter frowned slightly at the prospect of their departure. His gaze softened as it rested on Charlotte, “Why don’t you all stay the night?” he suggested, though even he realised how impractical it sounded. He wasn’t ready to let Charlotte leave just yet.Charlotte’s lips curved into a kind smile. “We will come to see you again someday,” she promised. “You better,” Carter replied. He stepped forward, pulling her into a hug that was long enough to draw a few curious glances from those nearby.Not far from the scene, Emily stood with Seraphina with her arms crossed and her expression clouded with irritation. Her brows furrowed as she watched Carter’s unusually affectionate behaviour. “Why is Carter being so affectionate with her? Even Seb seems to be revolving around her all evening. Just who is this girl?” she asked her tone filled with frustration.Se
The Billionaire's Runaway Ex-Wife Broken But Beautiful
Charlotte walked into the room and noticed only a grand piano, nothing else. She looked around, confused. Did not he say that he wanted to show her the birthday gift for his father? Or was he saying it just to spend time with her? Then again. Why would he even want to spend time with her? "Where's the gift you wanted to show me?" she asked Sebastian after a while when she could not control her thoughts.He pointed at the piano with a soft smile. "There."Charlotte raised an eyebrow. "You want to give your dad a piano?"She could not think of another explanation of why would he want to bring her to a room that only had a piano in it. Sebastian chuckled and shook his head. "No," he said, walking toward the piano. He sat down on the stool and placed his fingers on the keys.The music started, and Charlotte stood frozen. The sound was so beautiful and emotional like the piano was telling a story all on its own. She couldn’t describe how it made her feel, but it was like a deep sadness m

"Sebastian King. Pleased to meet you," Sebastian introduced himself, his voice smooth as he extended his hand to the Hart brothers."Likewise.”Sebastian smiled an enigmatic expression with no hint of malice or curiosity but still carrying an unmistakable poise that made it hard to look away.The introductions concluded just as more guests began to trickle in. Alessia, Leon, and Callum made their way to their designated table, while Charlotte excused herself to take a call. “So?” Leon asked, glancing at his brother. “What do you think?”Callum leaned back slightly, his sharp eyes flickering with thought. Unlike Rhys and Leon, Callum had an uncanny ability to read people. He was the observer, blending into the background while Rhys commanded attention and Leon’s charisma drew people in. It gave him the advantage of seeing what others often missed.“He’s... something,” Callum admitted, his tone measured. “Even I’m a little starstruck, to be honest. The guy isn’t just handsome, he is be
The Billionaire's Runaway Ex-Wife Testing him
Today was the day of Carter King’s birthday party. Along with Charlotte, Sia was invited too, and since she decided to attend, Leon was her plus one. It was not a big event but a very intimate birthday party. Still the guests surpased a few hundred. Charlotte was nervous the whole way. Thankfully, she was attending with her brother and best friend. She dragged Callum as her plus one since she didn’t want to appear alone.Sia and Leon entered first.All the while, Sebastian’s gaze was on the door as if he was waiting for someone to enter. When that person arrived, his eyes lit up, but it soon diminished as he saw her holding a man’s arm. The man looked younger, but he couldn’t tell much.When Charlotte appeared to greet Carter, she intentionally didn’t look at Sebastian, but she could feel his gaze bore a hole into her head. As Carter saw Charlotte, he forgot all the guests.He didn’t bother with formalities and hugged Charlotte. “My girl. How are you? It has been months since I last

From across the room, someone was watching the entire scene unfold with an amused glint in his stormy grey eyes.Sebastian leaned back as his lips curled into a half-smile, clearly enjoying the drama, but there was something else in his gaze. Something deeper and darker.“Mr. King, what are you watching?” one of his business partners asked, noting Sebastian’s lingering attention.Sebastian’s eyes never wavered from the group. “Mr. Jones, I hope you don’t mind, but I just spotted an old friend. Would you mind if I went over and said hello?”“Not at all, we are done here,” Mr. Jones replied, excusing himself as he walked away.Meanwhile, Charlotte, having just made her point to Ronan, turned to rejoin her girls. But as she did, she froze. Her gaze met a pair of stormy grey eyes. Eyes that seemed to burn with a quiet intensity.For a moment, Charlotte thought it was just another mirage, a trick her mind was playing on her. She moved as her steps were hesitant, but those eyes followed her.
The Billionaire's Runaway Ex-Wife Disappointment
Tonight, the Hart girls had planned a much-needed night out. Charlotte and Abella took the lead, guiding Sia, Kate, and Estelle to one of their favourite clubs. Over the past few days, Estelle had been spending time with Abella, and despite their age difference, the two had become fast friends. So, when Abella invited her to join the group, Estelle didn’t hesitate.Estelle had a naturally chill personality. Even though she was a bit more reserved, she knew how to let loose when the moment called for it.“Boss, I missed you!” Kate exclaimed as she threw her arms around Sia, hugging her tightly and refusing to let go.“Come on, Kate, I’m not your boss here,” Sia said, laughing as she tried to pry Kate off, but Kate clung to her like glue.“I know that! But calling you by your name still gives me the shivers,” Kate grinned mischievously. “You are scary.”Charlotte raised a brow and teased, “How can Sia baby possibly be scary?”The girls burst into laughter as Sia shot them a glare.

“Where are you taking me, Leon?” Sia asked, her voice tinged with curiosity and amusement. He had covered her eyes with his hands and was carefully guiding her along the path. From the moment they met that morning, she could see the anticipation in his eyes. There was excitement, almost boyish, but beneath it there was a hint of nervousness, as if he wasn’t entirely sure how his secret plan would unfold.“Just a minute,” Leon replied his voice brimming with eagerness. “Once we are there, you will see.”They walked along the winding and uneven path, Sia grumbling at every step. Finally, after what felt like an eternity to her and just a blink to him, he stopped.“We are here,” he announced softly. Then, his voice took on a deeper and more heartfelt tone. “Before you open your eyes, I want to tell you—I love you so much, and I can’t wait to start this new chapter of our life together.”Sia felt her heart skip a beat at his words. Slowly, Leon removed his hands, and she opened her eyes.
The Billionaire's Runaway Ex-Wife WHo is she?
“What do you want to know about her?” Carter asked, his tone measured as he observed his son’s restless demeanour. He wondered if his son recalled anything about her? As much as he knew that stubborn yet kind woman, she would not come to him again. “Who is Charlotte?” Sebastian asked directly, his voice tinged with both curiosity and apprehension.Carter leaned back in his chair, folding his hands together. “She is your wife. Or rather, she was your wife.”Sebastian frowned. “Our divorce isn’t finalized yet,” he corrected.“Great,” Carter said with a small satisfied smile.Sebastian raised an eyebrow, surprised by his father’s reaction. “Are you happy that we are still married?”“You bet I am,” Carter replied with a nonchalant shrug.Sebastian leaned forward, his confusion evident. “As much as I know you, you are an overprotective man. How on earth did you approve of a woman who married me after what was, by all accounts, a drunken mistake?”Carter chuckled, his expression softening.
The Billionaire's Runaway Ex-Wife Questions and Answers
“What’s up?” Sia asked, leaning casually against the doorframe. Charlotte was sitting quietly in her room, staring at nothing in particular.“I met Sebastian,” Charlotte said flatly, her voice devoid of any emotion.“Oh?” Sia raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance. “How did that go?”It was as if she was not sitting with Anne and scheming about Charlotte. Charlotte gave her a look. “Knock it off. I know you already know everything. Whatever you are thinking, it’s not going to happen. He asked me to sign the divorce papers, not to be his wife.”Sia stepped into the room, sitting across from her. “The real question is, do you want to be his wife?”Charlotte’s gaze faltered. “He doesn’t even remember me, Sia. And don’t forget—he loves Emily. Always has, always will.”“Did you ask him if Emily is still in his life?” Sia pressed, tilting her head.Charlotte shrugged. “How does it even matter?”“Coco,” Sia said, “How does it not matter? Why are you being such a coward? We both know you still
