The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 44: Deception Unveiled
Williams POV.The day had started off rough, and it wasn’t getting any better. I had been trying to reach Rajesh for days now, anxious to finalize our $500 million deal. Today, I was determined to get answers. I dialed his number for what felt like the hundredth time. It rang a few times before a calm, professional voice answered. “Rajesh Patel’s office, how may I help you?”“This is Williams Luther,” I barked. “I need to speak with Rajesh. It’s urgent.”“I’m sorry, Mr. Luther, but Mr. Patel is currently unavailable,” the secretary replied, her tone maddeningly polite.“This is ridiculous! I’ve been trying to reach him for days. Put him on the phone now!”There was a slight pause, and then the secretary continued, “Mr. Luther, I regret to inform you that Mr. Patel is no longer interested in partnering with Montgomery Enterprise.”I felt my blood pressure spike. “What do you mean he’s not interested anymore? We were set to sign the deal!”The secretary remained unfazed. “Mr. Patel has

Allison's POV.Rajesh arrived alone at my apartment early in the evening, carrying several luxurious gift bags and looking genuinely remorseful. I opened the door, pretending to be surprised, and let out a small gasp. “Seraphina, please,” he began, his voice thick with regret. “I am so sorry for what happened. I had no idea my wives would come here, let alone humiliate you like that.”I stepped aside, allowing him to enter, but my expression remained cold. I made sure to keep my eyes slightly red and puffy, as if I had been crying.“Rajesh,” I said, my voice trembling slightly. “You lied to me. You never told me you were married. I had to find out in the worst possible way.”He placed the bags on the coffee table, opening one to reveal a stunning diamond necklace. “I know, and I’m deeply sorry. I brought these as a way to make it up to you. Please, Seraphina, believe me when I say that I care about you.”I glanced at the necklace and then back at him, crossing my arms. “You think gif
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 46: His plan
Williams POV.Jonathan ushered the woman into my office, her infant daughter cradled in her arms. For a moment, a pang of regret hit me hard in the chest. If it wasn’t for my carelessness, I might have had a baby with Allison by now. The thought was almost too much to bear, but I pushed it aside. This wasn’t the time for weakness. I had a plan, and it required absolute focus.The woman looked nervous, her eyes darting around the room. She was young, probably in her mid-twenties, with tired eyes and a thin frame. The baby girl in her arms was barely a few months old, her tiny fingers grasping at her mother’s shirt. I could see the desperation in her eyes, the willingness to do whatever it took to secure a future for her child.I leaned back in my chair, studying them both for a moment. Jonathan stood by the door, his usual stoic expression in place. He knew better than to question my decisions, but I could sense his curiosity. This plan was unconventional, even by my standards, but
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 47: Tricked And Caught At Last
Allison's POV.I was making my way down the busy street, lost in my thoughts, when I barely noticed the commotion around me until a woman’s frantic cry pierced through the noise.“Help! Someone, please help!”Before I could react, a woman with a distraught expression stumbled toward me, clutching an infant wrapped in a blanket. Her eyes were wild with fear and desperation. She thrust the baby into my arms, her tears streaking down her face. “Please, take care of her!” she shouted, her voice breaking. Without waiting for a response, she turned and ran, her footsteps echoing as she fled into the crowd.Confusion washed over me. I stood there, dumbfounded, the baby now squirming in my arms, her wails piercing through the sudden silence. My heart raced. What just happened? Why was this woman abandoning her child? “Hey!” I shouted after her, but the crowd swallowed her up, and she was gone.The baby’s cries grew louder, more insistent. I cursed under my breath, trying to calm the litt
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 48: Stepping In To Intervene
Allison's POV.I woke up on the cold floor, groggy and aching all over. The room was bright now, with the lights on and the curtains open, letting in the afternoon sun. I heard a Chinese song playing softly in the background and the unmistakable smell of food wafting through the air.I slowly sat up, scanning the area. My attacker was in the kitchen, busy with something. I decided not to move, not wanting any more surprises. Instead, I stayed put and watched, waiting for the right moment.To get the person's attention, I knocked over a nearby chair with my foot. The clattering noise echoed through the room, and suddenly, she emerged from the kitchen.I was stunned. It was Mei Lin, a Chinese secret agent I recognized from eight years ago. She was dressed in tight black combat gear, her hair pulled back in a severe ponytail. She glared at me while eating a baozi, the traditional steamed bun."You finally woke up," she said, her voice cold and measured. "I've been waiting for this.""Mei
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 49: Desire (Mature)
Allison's POV.“Shut up, Williams,” I said, my voice trembling with the effort to control the torrent of emotions inside me. “I don’t want to listen to anything you have to say.”Before he could respond, I pulled him towards me and kissed him. The kiss was hard, desperate. It was as if all the anger, the frustration, and the longing of the past years were poured into that one moment. His initial surprise melted away as he responded, cradling my head in his hands and deepening the kiss.My body betrayed me, responding to his touch with an intensity that shocked me. It had been so long since I had let myself feel this way, and the flood of sensations was overwhelming. I could feel the heat radiating from him, his breath mingling with mine as our kiss grew more fervent. His hands roamed my back, pulling me closer, until there was no space left between us. I could feel the pounding of his heart against my chest, matching the rhythm of my own.As we kissed, he gently pushed me back, his
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 50: Turning Him Down
Allison's POV.Williams lay beside me, his fingers lightly tracing patterns on my skin. The intimacy we had just shared left a warmth, but as he began to speak, the reality of our situation crashed back down."Allison," he started, his voice soft yet hopeful, "can we give us another chance? I still love you. I always have."I felt a jolt of reality surge through me, dispelling the haze of passion. The weight of what we'd just done pressed down on me, and I suddenly felt exposed, vulnerable. I disentangled myself from his embrace, sitting up and reaching for my clothes."We can't," I said, trying to keep my voice steady as I pulled on my underwear and trousers.Williams looked bewildered, sitting up and reaching for me. "But we just got intimate. You let me in, Allison."I shook my head, slipping my bra on and reaching for my shirt. "It was just sex, Williams. I can get it anywhere I want. It was nothing."His face fell, the pain in his eyes cutting deep. "Nothing? You can't be serious
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 51: Can't Hold Back Any Longer
Williams POV.Earlier.I tried to focus on the meeting, but the sharp edge of the conference room felt dull compared to the things in my mind. My team was discussing the upcoming merger—an important deal that could shift the company's trajectory—but my thoughts kept drifting to Allison. The room was filled with business talk, but it was like background noise to the intense replay of last night.Jonathan, my PA, was speaking about the final adjustments needed for the merger presentation. I could see his lips moving, but all I could think about was how Allison had felt beneath me, her breath hot and fast against my skin. The way she moved on top of me, how she held me with such urgency, as if it was the last thing she’d ever need. It was an emotional storm—one moment I was holding her, the next, her words cut through me like a blade.“Mr. Luther?” Jonathan’s voice cut through my fog. “sir!”I blinked, realizing he’d nearly shouted my name. The room was suddenly too bright, too loud. E

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

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
