The Billionaire's Runaway Ex-Wife The twist (1)
It was the wedding day that everyone had been waiting for. As per Emery's wishes, the wedding was set up in an old church. The bride was in the bridal room, beautifully adorned in her white wedding gown. Ellora had tears seeing her daughter becoming a bride, while Nikolai was emotional, too. Emery was happy to get married by getting the blessing of her parents. When she decided to marry Luke, she didn't think her family would stand by her side while she married him. “Emery, there is a package for you,” Roseanne said as she entered the room. Nobody was allowed inside the bridal room as the family had their moment. Thus, she got the package that she believed was a gift for the bride from a friend who couldn't make it to the wedding. “Who is it from?” Emery asked. Roseanne answered that she had no idea. Just a bridesmaid handed it to her and gave it to her. As Emery opened the package, she was welcomed by a whole portfolio of her husband, Luke, aka Lucian Petrov. The colour began dr

As Sabrina made her way to the chapel, her anticipation was dampened by the sudden snap of her new shoe breaking. With a muttered curse, she felt frustration bubbling up inside her. She hadn't expected her newly purchased shoes to fail her so soon. The inconvenience of it all made her angry, especially considering the importance of the occasion.Despite her irritation, a practical thought crossed her mind. Remembering that Emery shared her foot size, she considered asking for a spare pair of shoes. It seemed like a reasonable solution to her predicament.Continuing on her path toward the bridal room, Sabrina's attention was drawn to a shadowy figure emerging from the darkness. A sense of unease crept over her as she realized she had stumbled upon someone trying to hide or flee. The unexpected encounter sent a shiver down her spine, and she couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.

Roseanne asked, "Is everything okay?" She noticed his annoyed expression, but he covered it with his usual smile. She understood he wouldn't share what happened with Sabrina. Something seemed off, especially since Sabrina didn't look well either."Yes," Nicholas replied with a smile. "Everything's good. What's bothering you?"Despite his reassurance, Roseanne felt uneasy. She debated probing further but decided against it, not wanting to worsen the situation. His question triggered Roseanne's realization that things weren't right on her end either. She confessed, "Oh, it's just cafe things. I'm badly needed there. They messed up with taxes and can't handle such a normal issue."In truth, it had started as a simple matter, but due to her staff's negligence, it escalated into a serious problem. Now, she had to accompany her lawyer to the government office to prevent her cafe from being sealed under the accusation of tax evasion.Nicholas responded incredulously, "You're really going to

As she rounded a corner, a shadow suddenly loomed over her, casting a dark silhouette across the floor. However, instead of feeling fear, Coco's face lit up with joy. "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" she exclaimed, her voice ringing out in the empty hallway.A warm chuckle cut through the silence as her father emerged from the shadows, his arms outstretched to form a hug.

As Emery was standing on the altar, holding hands with Luke, everyone in the Hart family was going through their individual struggles, waiting for their chance of happiness to come. Nikolai was bitterly looking at her happy daughter, cursing himself for failing. Ellora was worrying about all of her children, and her husband's betrayal was breaking her heart. Little Coco had turned silent as she was sitting in Nicholas' lap, her head resting against his chest while he was stroking her head. Leon was staring at Nicholas with unspeakable emotions. He was longing to be pampered by Nicholas like Coco did, but he was unable to speak it. Taking his chance, he scooted near him since their chairs touched each other and put his head on his father's arm. A sad smile played on Nicholas' lips as he experienced this moment. He controlled his emotions, and not wanting to make Leon awkward, he used his other hand to stroke the latter's hair. Since Roseanne informed the children that they were leav

The wedding ended. Emery left with her husband for their honeymoon. Only a few guests and the Hart family were left there. A car stopped outside the venue, and Mr Taylor came out. Her red heels rattled against the floor as she marched inside the church. A frown was marring her perfect face. She stopped at one point and looked at everyone in the crowd. Her eyes were trying to find Sabrina, but since she wasn't seeing her stepdaughter, her eyes kept wandering. At one point, it stopped at Roseanne, who was talking to Nicholas, and he was listening to her while Coco was trying to pull his arm. Nicholas leaned down to hear what Coco had to say, and Leon ran in the other direction while Roseanne ran after him to catch her. It was a perfect family scene, which made her eyes soft for a moment, and the next moment, they wandered again. This time, her eyes, which were hidden under sunglasses, stopped when she noticed a red light falling on the crowd. She recognised that it was a sniper hiding

After Roseanne emerged from a critical state, she slipped into a coma. The doctors were uncertain when she would awaken—five days passed with no indication of her regaining consciousness.

The assailant who shot Roseanne was discovered dead in an alley shortly after the incident.

They operated solely for monetary gain and were indifferent to the identity of their clients, focusing only on the price offered.In the midst of the investigation, Mrs. Taylor's active participation stood out as a fascinating element. Nicholas found himself deeply impressed by her extensive

Five more days passed, each one a painful reminder of Roseanne's unchanged condition. She remained in a deep sleep, unable to wake up.

At night, he stayed by her side like a silent guardian in the dim hospital room. Occasionally, he would find moments away to visit their home and check on the children.The impact of Roseanne's absence weighed heavily on the children, especially Leon. He retreated into himself, shutting out the world and refusing to talk. Nicholas felt sorrow every time he saw Leon's silent suffering.He was Desperate to connect with Leon and so he encouraged Leon to join him for morning runs, hoping the fresh air and exercise might help him feel better, even if just a little.Meanwhile, Coco's grief was discernible.

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

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.

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

“So, Saturday night at Apollo’s? It’s a date,” Andrew said, taking a chance with the woman of his dreams. They were standing on the porch of the café. With Charlotte’s high-heeled boots, she stood an inch taller than him.Before she could respond, a smiling hunk with his arms crossed over his chest approached and said, “No, it’s not.”Charlotte froze at the sound of the deep, husky voice that had haunted her dreams. She didn’t dare turn around. What if it was him? What would she do? And if it wasn’t him, how would she handle the crushing disappointment?Andrew frowned at the interruption and asked, “Who are you, man?”“Why don’t you ask the lady?” the stranger replied, cocking an eyebrow.Andrew turned to Charlotte. “Do you know him?”Without even glancing at the man, Charlotte said firmly, “No.”Andrew wasn’t convinced. There was an undeniable tension between them with her avoidance and his unwavering stare. It was as if an unspoken history filled the space between them.“Well,” And
