The Billionaire's Runaway Ex-Wife They meet again!
There was a grand ball held in New York. It was a prestigious event where the wealthy elite from across the globe were invited. The host of this extravagant banquet was none other than Gerald Salvatore. People had flown in from all over the world to attend the celebration."Mr. Hart, it's a pleasure to see you," said Gerald Salvatore, a man in his sixties, as he warmly shook hands with Nathaniel (Leon) Hart."Happy birthday, Mr. Salvatore," Leon replied, offering his best wishes.The old man chuckled heartily. "Thank you for attending my banquet."The Hart family was undeniably one of the most prominent families in the world and having the current CEO of the Hart Group of Companies at his birthday celebration was an impressive achievement for Salvatore. Although Salvatore’s were the biggest comolegrate of Europe, they were not on Hart Family’s standing. "Please, enjoy yourself," Salvatore added with a smile.Leon found his assigned table and sat down but as soon as he did, an unsettli
The Billionaire's Runaway Ex-Wife Obsession and Possesion
Ariana Addison's words dripped with venom as she spat, "You fucking whore! If you go near my man, I will throw you into the gutter with the trash you love, and they will fuck—"Before she could finish her cruel threat, Sia moved swiftly. With a simple kick to Ariana’s knee, the woman screamed in pain and her balance thrown off. As she raised her hand to slap Sia, the lattergrabbed her wrist and twisted it sharply.Ariana’s scream echoed through the hallway as a pain shot through her arm as she realized her wrist might be broken. “You freak! You broke my hand!” she cried, trying to reach for Sia’s hair in desperation. But Sia smoothly dodged her attempt and stuck out her foot, which caused Ariana to stumble and slam hard into the wall.At that moment, Jeremy Salvatore and Leon Hart, who had been in the middle of a business conversation, arrived just in time to witness the scene. Jeremy's eyes widened in shock as he took in the sight before him. “What happened here?” he asked, clearly c

“Where the hell have you brought me?” Sia demanded as she spotted Leon casually sitting at the breakfast table and biting into his sandwich. Her anger flared so intensely that she swore she wouldn’t think twice before unloading a bullet into that smug and obnoxious head of his. Just minutes ago, she had woken up in a strange bedroom, dressed in a night suit. Who the hell had changed her clothes? The last thing she remembered was being in his car, talking to him, and then... nothing.Fucking Leon Hart! Fuming, she marched downstairs and found him in the living room, looking far too relaxed for her liking.“Good morning to you too, sweetheart,” Leon grinned, his voice dripping with smugness.That grin made her blood boil even more.“Send me back!” she barked, her tone sharp as if he were one of her subordinates. The words like please and thank you were not a part of her dictionary. Leon pointed nonchalantly towards the door. “There it is.”Sia shot him a furious glare and stormed towar

"Make me another one," she ordered, not even looking up. "And toast it properly this time."Leon clenched his jaw, swearing silently. If it weren't for the values his mother instilled in him—always feed the hungry and never refuse food, he might have lost his patience by now. This woman... did she forget I kidnapped her? She can’t order me around! But despite his inner frustration, he got up and made two more sandwiches for the insatiable goblin sitting at his table.Once she finished, Alessia wiped her mouth and looked at him coolly. "Now, go lock up that beast and take me home."Leon stared at her, fighting the urge to roll his eyes. This was going to be a long day.Did she really think he was one of her servants that she always order around? he must recall her some interesting facts. Now it was Leon’s turn to smile wickedly. "Did you forget that you were kidnapped?"“Leon… I’m warning you,” Alessia said in a low, dangerous voice.He leaned closer, his lips just an inch from hers.

It was dinner time when Leon finally returned. Alessia was still sitting at the dining table where he had left her in the morning. She didn’t utter a single word as he prepared food in front of her. When he placed the plates on the table, he simply said, “Eat.”She didn’t even glance up at him. All day, she had been stuck in that same spot, too afraid to move because every time she tried, Lucifer would bark and scare her back into submission. He had used her fear of dogs against her and she knew she would never forgive him for that.“Hold your beast—your dog. I want to go back to my room,” she said, her voice laced with frustration.Leon responded casually, “Sure.”He then looked at Lucifer. “Lucifer, come here. She is your mom. Don’t trouble her inside the house. Your only job is to keep her safe,” Leon instructed, as though having a conversation with the dog. Lucifer barked in protest as if reminding Leon that she had insulted him earlier. “I apologize on her behalf for calling you

Leon glanced at her, amused as he filled his bottle. “Dinner is on the dining table,” he said casually, as if it hadn’t been her pride keeping her from eating all evening.Sia narrowed her eyes, harrumphing before responding proudly, “I’m fine with my own food.”Leon’s lips twitched in amusement but he said nothing and left her to her cold and buttered bread.As Sia said this, Leon had a look on his face that she knew all too well. But she brushed it off, reminding herself that it wasn’t material things that defined wealth, it was the hard work behind them. Wasn’t that what John Locke said? Mixing labor with the goods of nature makes it your private property. It was her effort that turned those slices of bread into a meal, not his.Proud of herself, she was heading back to her room when she noticed Leon lounging on the couch while flipping through the pages of a book. Grinning, she couldn’t resist throwing a jab at him.She said with a tone full of arrogance that can even put God to a

The gloating Sia, who had gone to bed thinking she had everything under control, woke up with a sharp and unbearable stomachache. When she sat up, she noticed a huge blood stain on the mattress."Oh shoot!" Sia groaned. "Do they have to come now? I can't deal with this right now!" Another wave of pain shot through her stomach, radiating to her pelvis and back. "Oh my god, I'm going to die! I will die on this deserted island!"Her body had always been out of sync and her periods were pure suffering which often requiring medical intervention. They only lasted two days, but those two days were hell.If there was one thing Sia valued more than her arrogance and wealth, it was her life. No one else loved her so she had learned to love herself.Swallowing her pride, she went to find Leon. She opened the door to his bedroom and he jerked awake from sleep, instantly sensing something was wrong by the way she called his name."Leon!" He asked, "What happened?""I need painkillers! The stronges

Leon hesitated for a moment before speaking. "My mom has some health issues, but I have never seen her in pain like this. And Coco and Belly... they don’t suffer this much either. I have never seen them go through something like what you just did."She answered, “That’s because they don’t have ruined bodies.”“I don’t get it,” Leon said.Sia opened her eyes and with a casual tone that reduced the severity of her words, replied, “Try having two abortions, four miscarriages, and taking countless emergency contraceptives. It is a miracle I don’t have ovarian cancer yet.”Leon was too stunned to speak. “Why would someone go through that?” he asked, unable to fathom the intensity of what she had endured.She smiled bitterlyt. “Try marrying a narcissistic asshole who thinks his wife is his personal prostitute, someone he can use however he wants without ever taking responsibility.”Leon could only stare at her, lost for words. She spoke with such detachment as if these weren’t her own devas

His voice dropped lower as he confessed, “Oh, Sia baby, I have dreamed of this every single day.” Leaning in, his lips found her neck, planting a trail of kisses that sent shivers cascading down her spine. Each kiss was deliberate, slow, and tantalizing as his lips explored the soft curves and bumps of her skin. He sucked and nipped gently, leaving her breathless and causing her to arch her back in excitement. His tongue darted out, tasting the warmth of her skin. The sensation was electric, making her clutch the bedsheet to steady herself. She was completely at his mercy, her body responding in ways she didn’t fully understand. Every touch was igniting a fire within her. He moved lower while his lips brushing the space between her breasts. Her hands instinctively found their way to his thick hair, tangling themselves in the silky strands as his touch consumed her entirely. He moved further down kissing his way down to her navel but stopped just right above her pussy area. H

When they reached their room after dinner, his gaze fell on her. She was sitting on the stool in front of the mirror while trying to remove her earrings, but she was struggling. He walked closer to her and whispered, “May I?” She silently gave him permission. He gently swept her hair to one side and carefully removed her earrings. As he worked, his hands lingered on her shoulders and their eyes met in the mirror. A soft blush painted her cheeks. Her eyes, though tired, but sparkled with life. He softly made her stand while turning her to face him. Dipping his head, he kissed her lips tenderly. After a moment, he murmured, “In five years, I see myself kissing your soft lips every day.” He whispered against her lips, “You are so beautiful, Sia baby.” Then, he claimed her lips in another kiss which deeper and more consuming. As he kissed her, her entire body trembled with need for him. She wasn’t embarrassed by the way her body craved his touch, how every fiber of her being begged
The Billionaire's Runaway Ex-Wife Date Night and questions
The lovebirds were truly basking in each other’s company. Leon had planned a perfect evening, starting with a romantic sunset walk along the beach as their feet were sinking into the soft sand as the waves kissed the shore. Later, they moved to a cozy candlelit dinner he had arranged just for her. The gentle glow of the candles was reflecting in her eyes as he sat in front of her. “Leon,” Sia’s soft voice broke the serenity as she called his name. “Yes?” he responded, his gaze meeting hers with warmth. “Let’s play a game,” she suggested, her lips curving into a playful smile. “Okay, which game are we playing?” Leon asked, tilting his head with interest. “Let’s play twenty questions,” Sia proposed. Leon chuckled. “Quite cliché, but fine,” he agreed. Since the moment felt too magical to let slip into silence, the game seemed like a fun way to keep the mood alive. She pouted in mock offense but pressed on, “Are you a sunrise or sunset person?” “Definitely a sunrise person

“Sia?”“Hmm,” he murmured in reply, feeling his finger trailing along her shoulder. The rays of the sun bathed her body as they lay near the sea. They were on one of the private beaches in the Philippines, one of the most breathtaking places she had ever seen. For the past three days, they had been travelling. The first two days were filled with adventure, but today was a much-needed lazy day for both of them.“I think you need sunscreen,” Leon said, his voice low and teasing. “Hmm,” she replied, her eyes still closed. She felt him scooping sunscreen into his hands, the cool sensation was contrasting with the heat of his palms as he began smoothing it over her body. His touch lingered as he worked the lotion into her neck while gliding down her back, tracing every curve and dip with deliberate care. Then his hands moved lower, over her hips and along her legs. Just as she thought he was done, his hands reversed course and they have begun gliding upward with an unhurried sensuality. S
The Billionaire's Runaway Ex-Wife A little task
After a few days of silence, Charlotte was nowhere to be seen. Leon had been patient, giving her the space he thought she needed to handle whatever was going on in her life. But as weeks turned into a month with no sign of her, he had had enough. He grabbed his phone and called her. She picked up just as it was about to go to voicemail. Her tired face appeared on the screen. “What’s up, little brother?” she asked, her tone lacking its usual energy. “Charlotte Hart, where the hell are you?” Leon snapped. “Somewhere on Earth. Why? What happened?” she replied nonchalantly, though her eyes betrayed exhaustion. Leon’s frown deepened. “Do you know how frustrating you are? You told everyone you were painting, but this doesn’t look like your apartment, and you look like crap.” He paused, taking a closer look. Her hair was longer, browner, and wavy which was completely different from her usual style. His brows furrowed as something else caught his attention. “Wait a minute… are you

Sia smiled widely at Abella and gave her an encouraging pat on the back. “I like it, girl,” she said with genuine warmth. Abella lowered her head, her voice tinged with embarrassment. “I’m sorry. I just… I made the plan, but they ditched me because Cade was interested in me. And, well, Leslie has a crush on him too. You know… the usual college drama.” Sia tilted her head sympathetically but kept her tone light. “I’m glad you ended up spending the evening with me instead. Those people made you cry, and they don’t deserve your energy. You should let them know you don’t care about what they think. You have got people who care about you, and tonight, we are going to have a lot of fun! You are in college, and there is no curfew.” Abella muttered with a small pout, “I still can’t drink until I’m 21.” Sia laughed. “I will show you how to have fun without needing a drop of alcohol. Trust me, tonight is going to be unforgettable.” And it was. The two spent the evening laughing, tal

Sia had just wrapped up her work at the office when her phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, she raised a brow in surprise. Softening her tone, she answered, “Hello?” “Hi, Sia,” came Abella’s slightly nervous voice. “Are you busy?” Sia glanced at the clock, noting the upcoming meetings on her schedule. But she brushed them aside and replied warmly, “Not at all. Just finished my work.” “Cool!” Abella sounded a little more at ease. After a brief pause, she asked hesitantly, “Would you like to go shopping with me?” Sia blinked, momentarily caught off guard. Abella was usually reserved and rarely expressed her wishes so openly. The invitation felt like a rare and meaningful step. “Of course,” Sia said, her voice full of encouragement. “When do you want to go?” “Now?” Abella suggested tentatively. “Perfect,” Sia agreed. “Where are you? I will come pick you up.” “I’m at my dorm. Can you come here?” “Absolutely,” Sia assured her. With that, they ended the call. Sia turned to
The Billionaire's Runaway Ex-Wife Family to rescue
After spending the entire night with Sia, Leon decided it was time to visit his parents, whom he hadn’t seen in two weeks. When he arrived, the house was lively as usual. Along with Nicholas and Anne, Rhys, Callum, Abella, and his grandparents, Ellora and Nikolai, were all gathered around the table. It was a joyous occasion for the family to be under the same roof. “Dad, can you take over for a month?” Leon asked, leaning against the doorframe. Well, if he had to be gone for over a month, he needed capable hands to look after his work. Who did he trust more than Nicholas Hart himself? Nicholas raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. “Do I look stupid to you?” Why on earth would he want to return to that cold office building? He recalled the time when the kids were young and he would find all the opportunity to not go to work. He had waited a lot for his retirement. There was no way, he was going back to work! “It’s just a month,” Leon persisted, his tone almost pleading. Nich

“Leon?” Sia’s voice trembled with surprise and excitement as she spotted him standing at the door of her study. Without hesitation, she ran to him while wrapping her arms tightly around his waist. “You heartless man! You went on a business trip for a whole week! Did you even miss me?” “I’m sorry, Sia baby. I’m a bad man,” he murmured, pulling her closer and kissing her cheek. “I’m sorry. Next time, I’ will take you with me.” She pouted, muttering, “What would I even do there?” He smiled, his voice soft and affectionate. “Stay with me all day. Who cares what place or task it is, as long as we are together.” Her lips curled into a contented smile and she nodded, looking every bit like a satisfied child who had just been given her favorite treat. “I love you, Leon,” she whispered. The words were rare and reserved for moments that carried her true and raw emotions. He pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. “I love you more, Sia baby.” Without another word, Leon scooped her i
