The Billionaire's Runaway Ex-Wife Aftercare (1)
Leon sat next to Sia's bed, watching her sleep, her face was calm as she was sleeping, despite the burns and the bruises on her skin. Her breathing was steady and for now, that was all that mattered to him. The room was quiet except, for the soft ticking of the clock on the wall. Despite the calmness in the room, all he could think was the image of fire surrounded all around them and the dread he felt when he realised that she was inside. He had gone out to take a call when the fire broke out. However, he rushed back inside to find her. He was not ready to lose the love of his life again. When his phone rang again, Leon hesitated before answering as it was his mother’s name flashing on the screen. He took a deep breath before taking the call. She would be dead sick for him at the moment. "Leon, baby, are you okay?" Anne’s voice trembled with concern. He could hear the fear in her words and the way she had probably been imagining the worst after hearing about the fire. "We heard ab

Kate’s voice dropped to a whisper, almost as if she was sharing a secret. "He loves you, boss. Madly." She glanced around the room, making sure no one else could hear, before adding, "I even saw him crying silently while holding your hand."Sia’s breath caught in her throat at the news. She couldn’t imagine Leon crying. He was usually blank or nonchalant. She felt even worse now knowing that her own pain had caused him to suffer. What was she supposed to do with a man like him? A man who loved her so deeply? Yes, she loved him back but… She did not let negative thoughts to come to her head and ruin her prospects of a good life. She deserve this love. She told herself. She would go to equal lengths for him. Each time, she had to tell herself that she was worthy of all the love that she got from him. With a sigh, Sia looked at Kate. "Kate, you need to eat and get some sleep. I will make him get some rest. He can’t keep going like this."Kate shook her head stubbornly. "I can’t leave y

Charlotte’s heart ached while seeing Sia in such a fragile state. She wanted nothing more than to wrap her best friend in a comforting hug but she knew it would only cause Sia more pain. She could not touch Sia without causing pain. “I’m not leaving,” Charlotte announced. They could not get rid of her. Her bestfriend was in pain and she needed to be here to take care of her. Sia wasn’t surprised. She knew the moment Charlotte found out about her injuries, she wouldn’t go anywhere.Leon, however, raised an eyebrow. “Why would you stay here?”“To take care of her,” Charlotte replied without hesitation.Leon crossed his arms. “I’m here. She doesn’t need anyone else. I’m her boyfriend, it’s my job to take care of her.”Charlotte shot him a defiant look. “I respect that you are her boyfriend, but I’m her best friend and family. Leaving her alone with you feels like leaving my daughter at her in-laws. I’m not comfortable with that.”Leon frowned, bewildered by her choice of words. Weren’

Leon was so sleep-deprived that he slept straight through until the next day. When he woke up, he noticed that Sia wasn’t around. He glanced at the phone on the nightstand, it was supposed to ring because he had set an alarm, but the alarm didn’t go off, and it was on silent mode. His eyes widened when he saw the date and time.As he hurried to get up, anxiety bubbling inside him, he noticed a voice message on his phone.“Leon, I’m in the living room with Charlotte. I took my medicine and had meals on time. Charlotte and Kate are taking care of me, so don’t stress. I’m absolutely fine. Also, your clothes and other things are in the closet. Take a long, relaxing shower. I will be waiting for you. P.S.: Don’t rush.”A smile formed on his lips. He decided to follow her instructions and not rush, though it was difficult knowing she was waiting downstairs. Still, he didn’t want to disappoint her, so he reluctantly took his things and headed for the shower. The best part? His clothes were n

“It’s been three days. When will you all return home?” Leon asked his siblings.Rhys answered, “I’m an intern. I work for her. How can I leave her?”Callum replied, “I’m still convincing her to fund my projects. And we spent the evening planting new plants. She was so happy and relaxed. Isn’t that what matters the most?”Coco added, “I’m the best friend! You may or may not be in her wedding, but I will be! So choose your battles wisely, brother.”Abella gave her best puppy eyes. “Can I please stay since everyone is here?”Leon sighed and sat on the couch. He couldn’t deal with his siblings. He felt like giving them all a piece of his mind, but what could he do? He was a sucker for the woman he loved, and these rascals had her wrapped around their fingers.Abella heard the oven ding and ran to the kitchen. A few minutes later, she came back with a plate full of soft breads that looked more like fruit cakes.Abella said excitedly, “Sia, I got you bread!”Sia’s eyes brightened up. Oh god,

Two weeks passed, and Sia had recovered. The Hart siblings had to return home after a week, as Leon played the "mommy card," which worked perfectly. Afterward, he spent the entire last week with Sia. He was thrilled to be in the same space with her, just the two of them. They spent a lot of time trying out different activities. Recently, they had been exploring their passions or what made them happy? What made life worth living? They tried various things, but soon found themselves bored. Discovering a passion seemed to be harder than they had anticipated.Meanwhile, two men sat in an office, working on their strategies.“How is the planning going for the event?” Matthew asked Archie.Archie sighed, rubbing his forehead. “Not well. I wanted to invite Alessia Swift to make peace. I don’t understand why she is trying to bring me down. I don’t even hold a grudge against her.”Matthew replied, “You are working with me, isn’t that enough reason for her to have a grudge?”Archie responded, “H

On the other hand, as Olivia left the room, Matthew sat on his bed and called his assistant.“Did you find out who the woman was who saved me?” Matthew asked. He didn’t remember much, but he did recall that there was a woman who took a fiery log in her hand and saved him from being burned. He didn’t know much about her, but he recognized her as the woman who had been smiling and laughing in the café that day. The ame woman who had caught his attention. Alas, he hadn’t seen her face properly.At first, he tried to forget her. He didn’t want to know about her. But each night, he would wake up in a sweat, haunted by dreams of that woman. All he wanted was to see her, to know her, and to speak to her. He didn’t understand why his heartbeat quickened each time he thought about that mysterious woman, but all he wanted was her.He knew it was wrong as he was married to Olivia who was the love of his life. He had fought against his whole family and the world to marry her. He loved Olivia, bu

And he turned out to be one of the best burn specialists in the country. Woah, what a coincidence.It made sense that Leon would bring him to the best doctor even if he was a relative. She yet a little awkward in meeting his family but she also knew that it was not something that she could avoid easily. “Ah? My dear nephew, am I seeing things?” Luke asked. “Are you my important appointment today? And you brought a lady?” He added with a laugh, “Stand there with her. Yes, good.” He took out his phone and snapped a picture. “I will send this to Emery. Maybe she will let me sleep in the bed tonight.”Sia stifled a smile. Just as she recalled, the couple were as loving as ever. Leon’s lips twitched. “I’m sure you deserve it.”Luke said, “Hey, kiddo! I’m your favorite uncle!”Leon rolled his eye

The Billionaire's Runaway Ex-Wife Concern
When everyone left, Abella turned to Callum, tugging at his sleeve. “Let’s go check on her,” she said softly, her concern evident on her face. But before Callum could answer, raised voices from inside the room stopped them in their tracks.“Why did you tell everyone?” Estelle’s voice broke through the quiet.“What are you talking about?” Ronan replied, his tone filled with confusion.“Ronan, you know what I’m talking about,” Estelle said, her voice trembling with hurt. “Instead of worrying about your wife, the first thing you did was call your entire family to swarm me! This isn’t what I wanted. I told you I needed you. Just you.”When the doctor told her about her pregnancy, she was lost. Thankfully, it happened to be the hospital where his husband worked. She needed him so much but he made her wait for so long. And when he came, he came with his family. The emotional strength that she needed, she did not get it. Instead, the overwhelming feeling that she was getting was taking away
The Billionaire's Runaway Ex-Wife What is wrong?
Callum was in the lab when Abella called him. These days, he had been refusing gatherings at home which was a convenient way to avoid Estelle. Seeing her was unbearable for him. Each encounter was a reminder of the betrayal that would devastate Ronan if he ever discovered the truth that his wife and cousin had a one-night stand.When Callum first met Estelle, she seemed like the most fascinating woman he had ever known. She was beautiful, intriguing, intelligent, and so passionately driven by the things she loved. But the magic of that night shattered when she vanished the next morning, leaving him with no address, no contact and nothing. It was as if their connection had been nothing more than an illusion.And then, he saw her again. Standing in his own house by Ronan’s side as his wife. The heartbreak was indescribable. What could be more devastating than realizing the woman who had once enchanted him now belonged to someone else? Someone he cared about deeply. Anger replaced longi
The Billionaire's Runaway Ex-Wife War?
It was Abella's 19th birthday party. The Hart Princess had insisted on keeping it a simple, intimate family gathering and nothing extravagant. Even the cake had been baked by Abella herself, as she didn’t want to make a big deal of the day.Though it was low-key, the family showered her with thoughtful gifts. Among them, Alisha’s gift stood out and was the one Abella cherished most.Abella’s eyes widened in surprise. “I can’t believe you thought of this,” she said, grinning from ear to ear. “Now I can drive around without everyone staring at me in our flashy cars. I will blend in with my friends!”If Abella had struggled in life, it was blending in with her peers and not letting them know that she was a real-life princess. Her biggest struggle was being a princess but acting like a pauper. Rhys raised an eyebrow. “What’s so special about a car? If you wanted one, you could have bought it ages ago.”Abella chuckled. “I know, but Alisha’s whole point was to get me out of my comfort zon

Sebastian stared at his phone. It had been three days since he had texted Charlotte, but she hadn’t replied. He told himself she was probably busy with work and might have forgotten to check her messages. Deciding to try again, he sent another text.But the silence continued.By the end of the day, frustration had settled in and left him restless.At the dinner table, Carter spoke up. “I’m going to Mexico this weekend.”Seraphina frowned. “What about your health? Are you sure you can handle this trip?”“It’s an important matter,” Carter said firmly. “Mr Roudgreiz was the one who helped me build my business after I left the King family. Now that I have surpassed their entire fortune, I can’t turn my back on my benefactor when she needs me.”Carter’s story with the King family was another sad tale of his life that ruined everything but he never liked to talk about it with his kids and he did not wish to make them feel guilty. Seraphina pressed further. “Dad, your health isn’t good. The

Today, Charlotte and Abella went shopping with Alisha. Beatrice had specifically asked Charlotte to get Alisha involved in normal ‘girl activities,’ since Alisha often had rather quirky interests.“This is as boring as ever,” Alisha said flatly, looking unimpressed.“Come on, shopping is fun,” Abella replied enthusiastically. Of course, she was the one who had bought the most outfits so far. While Charlotte tagged along more for the outing, Abella was genuinely excited to shop. Alisha, on the other hand, had been reluctantly dragged along.“I like shopping with Sia and Estelle better,” Abella said, a little frustrated. “You two are boring!”The remark stung Alisha. “What could you possibly have in common with them?” she asked, her voice filled with curiosity and maybe some annoyance.Abella shrugged. “Well, we don’t have much in common, but I like them. Sia pampers me, but she also treats me like a friend, and Estelle—she is becoming my best friend these days. She is so fun to be arou
The Billionaire's Runaway Ex-Wife Drama
The morning came, and Leon, who had stayed up late, woke up equally late. As he stirred awake, his eyes landed on Sia seated at the breakfast table, indulging in her morning sugar rush. Her plate held an extra-sweet coffee paired with some fruit on the side which was an attempt at balance that he found amusing but chose not to comment on. She had peculiar tastes, and if sugar was her thing, so be it. She knew her limits.He liked seeing her enjoying her life finally. Life was never smooth when it came to her. She had her fair share of struggled. Not just fair share but abundance of struggles. It was only after her life threatening accident that she began living her life to the fullest and not just working on autopilot. “Good morning, sunshine,” she greeted him with a bright smile.He groaned softly, walking over to her and wrapping her in a warm hug from behind. Resting his head on her shoulder, he complained, “You left me all alone in bed.”She chuckled lightly, patting his cheek a
The Billionaire's Runaway Ex-Wife Sleepyhead
That night, as Leon prepared to leave, Ellora looked at him with a smile. “Why don’t you stay the night? Callum and Abella are staying for Alisha and it would be nice to have you here too.”As a grandmother in her later age, all she wanted was her whole family to be surrounded by her. She wanted all her grandkids to stay under the same roof even if it was a wishful thinking on her part. Anne while noticing Leon’s hesitation decided to add with a laugh. “Mom, let him go. Sia is at home and he is probably miserable without her. Let’s face it, Leon needs Vitamin Sia more than he needs sunlight.”Ellora sighed, shaking her head lightly. “Ever since they moved in together, he visits so rarely. It’s like we hardly see him anymore.”Anne couldn’t resist teasing. “Mom, you are starting to sound like a bitter mother-in-law trying to blame everything on the woman! To be honest, Leon wasn’t exactly a regular visitor before either. If anything, since Sia came into his life, he visits more often b

When Sia heard the doorbell ring, her heart skipped a beat. She thought Leon had arrived, but it felt too soon as they had just hung up the phone. Curiosity piqued, she opened the door. A smile lit up her face when she saw who was standing there.“Mama!” Nico called out excitedly, rushing into her arms.She bent down, showering him with kisses. “Aren’t you my favourite boy?” she cooed, her tenderness making him giggle.Nico wrapped his arms around her tightly while returning her kisses.“Hey, what about me?” Rhys asked with a grin as he stepped in behind Nico.Sia straightened up, surprised to see him. “Rhys, what are you doing here? I thought you were having dinner at home.”Rhys sighed dramatically. “I was excited about that too, but then I saw a devil and decided to escape here instead.”“A devil?” Sia asked, leading them inside.Rhys groaned. “We have the most annoying guest tonight.”Sia tilted her head curiously. “Who is it?”Before answering, Rhys took a deep breath and sniffed

“Did you meet Coco?” Leon asked.“I did,” Alisha said, “Abella told me that Coco may or may not have a boyfriend. What’s that supposed to mean?”Leon smirked. “It means Coco’s mysterious as always. Even I don’t know for sure.”Alisha added with a playful tone, changing the subject, “And you have got a new cutie pie at your place. He is adorable.”Leon chuckled. “Which one?”“The hot one,” Alisha teased with a grin.“Nash?” Leon guessed, laughing. “He is a good-looking kid, I will give you that.”“No,” Alisha said, raising an eyebrow with a mischievous glint. “His dad.”Leon burst into laughter. “That’s your uncle, kid!”“Hey! Who are you calling ‘kid’?” Alisha protested, lightly smacking his arm. “I’m twenty-five, Nathaniel Hart. That’s not a kid at all!”Leon smirked, clearly enjoying teasing her. “Whatever you say, little Alisha.”Before Alisha could fire back, Anne’s voice floated from the hallway. “Leon, stop irritating Alisha!”Alisha grinned triumphantly, turning to Leon. “See?
