The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 30: Telling Him Off
Allison's POV.The doorbell rang, startling me out of my thoughts. I wasn’t expecting anyone. Peeking through the peephole, I saw a delivery person holding an enormous bouquet of flowers. I opened the door, and the delivery person handed me the bouquet with a polite smile before walking away.I closed the door and carried the flowers to the kitchen table, setting them down gently. The arrangement was beautiful, with vibrant colors and a sweet fragrance that filled the room. But who would send me flowers?I searched through the bouquet until I found a small card tucked between the stems. My heart skipped a beat when I saw the name.**"Hello, from your stalker. - Williams"**I couldn’t help but laugh. It was stupid and amusing all at once. Here he was, lying in a hospital bed with a bullet wound, and he had the audacity to send me flowers. How pathetic.I rolled my eyes, tossing the card aside. What was he trying to prove? That he still cared? That he was sorry for everything? Sending f
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 31: And It Only Gets Tough
Williams POV.I was still struggling with the constant, dull throb in my arm from the bullet wound. It served as a painful reminder of my failures and the mess I had made of my life. But the physical pain paled in comparison to the emotional agony of losing Allison. I had to know more about her. The woman I had once known as Seraphina was now a different person entirely, and I needed to know more about her past.I picked up the phone and dialed Jonathan’s number. He answered on the second ring. “Good morning, Mr. Luther. How can I assist you?”“Jonathan, I need you to hire the best private investigator money can buy,” I said, my voice steely with determination. “I want to know everything about Allison’s life before she met me, and after. And that Edward guy I keep seeing around her.”Jonathan hesitated for a moment. “Are you sure, sir? This might dig up some things that—”“Just do it,” I snapped, cutting him off. “I need to know.”A few days later, Jonathan arranged a meeting with a m
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 32: The Fight For Her
Williams POV.I sat in my villa, the luxurious surroundings doing little to soothe my restless mind. The atmosphere was thick with tension as I awaited Edward Blackwood's arrival. The very thought of him stirred up a burning jealousy within me, despite my considerable wealth and influence. He was always by Allison's side, protecting her, supporting her, and it made my blood boil. Today, I was determined to change that.Edward arrived punctually, his demeanor calm and composed as he was ushered into my study. I rose to greet him, forcing a polite smile."Edward, thank you for coming," I said, extending my hand. He shook it firmly, his eyes steady and cold."Williams," he acknowledged, taking a seat opposite me. "What is this about?"I took a deep breath, readying myself for the conversation ahead. "I won't beat around the bush, Edward. I have a proposal for you." I leaned forward, my eyes locking onto his. "I'm willing to offer you $15 million if you leave Allison."Edward's reaction
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 33: Unfazed
Allison POV.Williams had always known how to make a statement. So when he discovered through his P.A., Jonathan, that my childhood home was still standing but in desperate need of repairs, he decided to do something monumental.One morning, I woke up to the sound of construction. Groggy and irritated, I peered out my window to see a team of workers swarming my house like ants. New windows, a fresh coat of paint, a completely renovated garden—it was a full-scale makeover.I stormed outside, my robe flapping in the wind. “What the hell is going on here?” I shouted at the foreman.He tipped his hat, looking apologetic but firm. “Ma’am, we’ve been hired to renovate the property. Mr. Luther insisted on the best for you.”My blood boiled. “Tell Williams I don’t want his charity. Stop all work immediately.”The foreman hesitated, but then his phone buzzed. After a quick conversation, he turned back to me. “I’m sorry, ma’am, but Mr. Luther has given strict orders to proceed unless directly i
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 34: Learning About The Fight
Allison's POV.I was in the middle of a debriefing with my team when my phone buzzed with a message. It was Jake, one of my most reliable agents. I quickly scanned the text, and my blood ran cold.Jake: Allison, Edward got into a fight with Williams at his villa. Thought you should know ASAP.I felt a mix of shock and anger rising within me. Edward and Williams? Fighting? This was unbelievable. My first instinct was to storm out and find Edward, but I forced myself to stay calm. I finished the debriefing, though my mind was elsewhere, and dismissed my team.As soon as I was alone, I grabbed my jacket and headed straight for Edward’s apartment. I needed answers, and I needed them now.When I arrived, I didn’t bother knocking politely. I banged on the door, my heart pounding with frustration. Edward opened the door, his expression a mix of surprise and concern.“Allison,” he started, but I cut him off, pushing past him into the living room.“What the hell were you thinking, Edward?” I s
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 35: Rajesh Patel
Allison's POV.I slipped into the office building, my disguise flawless: a tailored suit, glasses, and my hair pulled into a tight bun. Williams' company, Montgomery Enterprises, was busy as usual, and I was just another staff member in the sea of employees. Mia's voice crackled in my ear through the tiny device she had provided."Alright, Allison. You're in. The conference room is on the third floor, second door on the right. Remember, blend in and observe."I nodded subtly, even though she couldn't see me, and made my way to the elevator. Williams' company was immaculate, a proof of his obsession with perfection. As the elevator doors closed, I took a deep breath, my heart pounding with anticipation.This was it. The day Rajesh Patel, the Indian billionaire, was meeting with Williams. Patel was one of the wealthiest men in the world, and this partnership could propel Williams' company to new heights. But I had other plans.The conference room was a hive of activity. Williams and his
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 36: Seduction
Allison's POV.I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the dark top that hugged my curves just right. The tiny shorts and net leggings completed the look, giving me the appearance of a stripper without being too revealing. Heels added the final touch, making me taller and more confident. Tonight had to be perfect.Walking into the club was like entering another world. The flashing lights, the pulsating music, and the scent of alcohol and sweat created an atmosphere charged with energy. I made my way to the back, blending in with the other dancers, and waited. It wasn't long before Williams, Rajesh, and their men arrived. They were led to the VIP section, a plush area overlooking the dance floor. I took a deep breath and prepared myself. This was my stage now.As the music changed to a slower, more seductive beat, I stepped onto the floor. The spotlight found me instantly. I began to move, letting the rhythm guide me, my body swaying with ease. All eyes were on me, but I only h
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 37: Never Been So Pained And Exasperated
Williams POV.Then, right in front of me, they agreed to go on a date tomorrow. I wanted to scream, to lash out, to do anything to stop this madness. Allison had even told Rajesh her name was Seraphina, the same name she used when she was fat and we were still married. My mind was racing, filled with rage and desperation.I knew I couldn't let this happen. As soon as Allison walked away, I turned to Rajesh. "Rajesh," I said, trying to keep my voice steady, "you can't go on a date with her."Rajesh looked at me, curiosity flickering in his eyes. "And why not?" he asked, a smirk playing on his lips."Because she used to be mine," I replied, my voice dropping low with intensity.Rajesh stared at me for a moment before bursting into a boisterous laugh. His men joined in, their laughter sounding through the VIP section despite the music."Williams, are you joking? Or do you just want the girl for yourself because she seduced every man here?" He inquired. I gritted my teeth, my hands clenc

The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent Epilogue
Allison's POV.Two months had passed since that nightmare, and Jessica was finally where she belonged: back in prison. Turns out, she had escaped with the help of her five-star general brother, James. But justice had a way of catching up to people like her. She was given more life sentences, no chance of parole this time, and James? Stripped of his rank, kicked out of the military, and sentenced to 15 years behind bars. The news was the most satisfying thing I’d heard in a long time.And Viktor Romanov? He couldn’t take the heat. The torture got to him. He’d ended his own life rather than face more of what was coming to him. It was hard to feel anything for him, knowing what he’d done to me, but at least that chapter was closed.I was still healing, but at least I was on my feet again. Viktoh had given me a six-month leave, after everything I’d suffered, and I wasn’t about to argue. I needed the time away. Time to breathe, to heal, to focus on what truly mattered.And today, it was ti
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 120: The Breaking Point
Allison's POV.My chest tightened, but I forced myself to sit up straighter. She shouldn’t be here. "You’re supposed to be in prison," I said, my voice steady despite the flood of memories—memories of how she had turned my life upside down, destroyed everything I had with Williams, and left me broken in more ways than one.Jessica’s smile only widened, her eyes gleaming with malice. "I got out." Her tone was casual, like she was discussing the weather. She stepped closer, and I could feel the venom between us. This woman… she had ruined everything. She had turned Williams against me, manipulated him, and made sure I lost our baby that night when I ran through the rain, heartbroken. That accident had ripped my world apart, and Jessica’s hands were all over it.And even after I came back, stronger and more dangerous than before, Jessica hadn’t stopped. She had tried to kill me more times than I could count. The desperation in her had reached insane levels, trying to trap Williams with
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 119: The Return
Allison’s POVThe steady beeping of the machines was the only sound filling the room, but I couldn’t focus on it. The sharp scent of antiseptic lingered in the air, making the sterile hospital walls seem even colder. My body ached in ways I hadn’t known were possible, but I was alive. I was here.The door creaked open softly, and I turned my head. It took a second for my eyes to adjust, but then I saw him—Williams, standing in the doorway, looking at me with an expression I couldn’t quite place. Was it relief? Concern?He stepped inside, his movements tentative, like he wasn’t sure if he should be here. His gaze swept over me, taking in the IVs, the bruises, the bandages. I could tell he was trying to hold it together, but the tension in his jaw gave him away.“Williams,” I whispered, my voice was shaky and low. I watched as he came closer, his eyes scanning my face. There was something in his expression I hadn't seen before—a softness, a vulnerability. When he reached my bedside, I
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 118: An Uninvited Guest
Jessica's POV.“Jessica?”I smirked as his voice rang through the office, laced with confusion. He hadn’t expected this. He hadn’t expected me. I slowly pulled back the hood of my jacket, revealing my face. His eyes widened, disbelief washing over his usually composed expression."Surprised to see me?" I asked, my voice light, teasing. I watched him carefully, savoring every second of his stunned reaction. His jaw tightened, but he said nothing at first, his sharp gaze piercing into me like daggers."I was released last week." I gave him a coy smile, stepping further into the office, the click of my heels sounding in the silence. His office was just as I remembered it—cold, impersonal, like the man who sat behind the desk. But I wasn’t here for the decor.Williams’s face remained hardened, but there was a flicker of something else in his eyes—anger, or maybe it was disgust. Either way, I had expected it.“What do you want, Jessica?” His voice was firm, devoid of any warmth or welcome.
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 117: Truth
Allison's POV.I blinked against the sterile light filtering in through the window, the room coming into focus in slow, painful waves. My body ached, every inch of me reminding me of what I had been through. But the confusion in my mind was worse. I didn’t know where I was, or how I had gotten here. The hospital.The smell of antiseptic, the steady beeping of machines—it was unmistakable. I was in a hospital bed, covered in bandages, weak and barely able to move. I tried to piece together how I’d ended up here. The last thing I remembered was Viktor, his cold, merciless eyes glaring down at me as his men... My stomach twisted at the memory. The torture, the pain. It was all too vivid, too raw.How did I survive?I shifted slightly, wincing as the pain flared across my ribs. That’s when I noticed Mia, fast asleep in the chair beside me, her head resting awkwardly on the armrest. She looked exhausted, her hair messy, dark circles under her eyes. “Mia?” My voice came out hoarse, barely
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 116: The Fear Of Losing Her
Williams POV.The world outside the ambulance blurred as we sped toward the hospital. My heart was pounding, faster than it ever had before. Mia sat across from me, her eyes wide and focused on Allison’s frail form, but all I could do was hold her hand, feeling the warmth slowly fade from her skin.“Allison, hold on,” I whispered, more to myself than to her. Her chest barely moved, her breaths shallow and ragged. I gripped her hand tighter, my throat burning. I was losing her.Mia’s voice cut through the suffocating silence, soft but steady. “She’s strong, Williams. She’ll pull through.”I didn’t answer. The weight of everything bore down on me like a heavy stone pressing against my chest. Her bruised face was a reminder of what they had done. Of what I couldn’t protect her from. Every bump in the road felt like a countdown.As we reached the hospital, paramedics rushed to pull her stretcher out, shouting medical jargon I couldn’t understand. My legs felt weak as I at my side, but my
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 115: To Her Rescue
Williams POV.The smell of blood and gunpowder filled the air. The gunfire was deafening, bullets ricocheting off the metal walls of the factory. I could barely hear Viktoh shouting orders to the team, but my eyes were locked on one thing. Her.Allison.She was barely seen through the smoke and chaos, slumped in a chair in the middle of the room, her body bound and battered. Blood stained her clothes, her face was swollen and bruised beyond recognition. It was as if someone had taken all the light out of her. My heart stopped.Viktor Romanov and his men were hunkered down, exchanging fire with Edward and the rest of the team. Edward was pushing forward with calculated aggression, taking out one of Viktor’s men before he had a chance to reload. Viktoh's men moved in, flanking the room, trapping Viktor’s crew.“Take them down!” Viktoh shouted, his voice cutting through the noise.Romanov’s eyes flicked to me for just a second, a twisted smile playing on his lips. He knew what he had don
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 114: Finding Her
Williams POV.Five days. Five long, agonizing days since Allison disappeared. And now, I was standing in warehouse next to the one man I despised more than anything—Edward Blackwood. The fact that I even agreed to work with him felt like a betrayal of my own pride, but this was about Allison, not me. I reminded myself of that, over and over.Allison.She was out there, somewhere, in Viktor Romanov’s hands. And if anyone could survive what that monster was capable of, it was her. She was a fighter. I knew it. But as each day passed, doubt began to creep into my mind.I looked at Edward out of the corner of my eye. His jaw was clenched so tight, I could see the muscles twitching in his face. The man was a damn brute, always had been. But there was no denying he was useful in moments like these. He didn’t just sit back and wait for things to fall into place like most people. He took action, even if that action was reckless.Right now, we needed that recklessness."Tell me what you know,
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 113: Torture
Allison's POV.The pain had no beginning or end. It was everywhere, all at once. I couldn’t tell if my heart was racing or if it had stopped altogether, but I felt the rhythm of agony pulsing through every nerve in my body. My wrists were raw from the ropes that bound me, and I could feel blood pooling beneath me where the chair had already cut into my skin. I barely registered the cold, metallic floor beneath me anymore; all I could feel was the endless, burning pain.Viktor’s shadow was over me, the twisted grin on his face searing itself into my memory. He wasn’t done. I knew it. He was just getting started. Every time I thought I couldn’t take more, he found a new way to make me suffer."Bring her back," he commanded, his voice sharp and cruel. He gestured to one of his men with a flick of his wrist. "I want to hear her scream."A ragged breath left my lips, a pitiful sound I hated myself for making. I tried to prepare myself, tried to push the pain away, but when I saw what the m
