The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife The unknown enemy
I shuddered at the sound of the gunshot as Tristan held me in his hands tightly. And, for a brief moment, I had my eyes shut tightly. I just could not bring myself to see what had happened.‘’How dare you!’’ hearing those words from Aurelia caused me to open my eyes for confirmation. A gasp escaped my lips when I saw her. She was bleeding from her left shoulder. Emily had shot her!‘’I’m sorry to turn the tables, Aurelia,’’ Emily uttered with a naughty smile on her lips as she slowly faced the gun on the floor, ‘’But, I can't let you hurt my kids,’’‘’What… what's happening?’’ my voice was shaky. Nothing was making sense to me. I thought Emily and Aurelia were on the same page? Why did Emily pull the trigger on her?‘’It's so stupid of you to think I'd actually hurt the twins,’’ Emily spat at her, still holding the gun in her possession, ‘’For goodness's sake, I raised them!’’Aurelia scoffed while using her right hand to hold her bruised shoulder. I didn't even know what to say, and

Just as Emily was about to pull the trigger, a voice rang out from the doorway. "Emily, what's going on here?" Jordan, my ex-husband, stood there, his eyes fixed on the scene before him.Emily halted, her gun still raised to my head. Aurelia, meanwhile, tried to act innocent, her eyes wide with fear. "Jordan, thank God you're here," she said, her voice trembling. "Valerie shot me!"Jordan's eyes narrowed, his gaze flicking to my face. "Valerie, what's going on?" he demanded.But before I could answer, Tristan suddenly reappeared, Kyle and Khloe by his side. "Mom!" they exclaimed, running to me.I hugged them tightly, tears of relief streaming down my face. "I'm so glad you're safe," I whispered.But my relief was short-lived. Jordan suddenly walked over to me, his face twisted in anger. "You're a monster, Valerie," he spat. "You'd shoot your own sister?"And with that, he slapped me across the face. I felt a stinging pain, my eyes wide with shock."Jordan, what are you doing?" Tristan

I tried to pull the trigger on Aurelia, but Tristan stepped in, his hand grasping my wrist. "Valerie, no!" he shouted, his eyes blazing with urgency.I struggled with him, my anger and rage boiling over. "Let me go, Tristan!" I yelled, trying to shake off his grip. But he held firm, his fingers like a vice around my wrist.Finally, he overpowered me, and I felt the gun being pulled from my hand. He threw it to the ground, and I lunged at him, my fists clenched. "You fool, Tristan!" I shouted. "You're protecting a monster!"Jordan rushed over to Aurelia's side, his eyes fixed on her with concern. "Aurelia, are you okay?" he asked, helping her up.But I was too engrossed in my argument with Tristan to notice Aurelia picking up the gun from the floor. It wasn't until I heard Jordan's voice, pleading with Aurelia, that I turned around."Aurelia, please, don't do this," Jordan said, his eyes filled with desperation. "Let Khloe go."But Aurelia just laughed, her eyes gleaming with malice. "

That was the end for me. It was over. I had lost my only son, Kyle, to the cold hands of death, and nothing had ever hurt this much.I kept crying my eyes out. It was too much for me to bear. Emily had taken Khloe to move in with her, and this time, I thought it was the right thing to do.Aurelia had finally taken down my son. She had gotten the revenge she wanted for her daughter even after all the pleadings from me. But, now, it was my turn!I wanted nothing but peace after Hailey had gotten hurt.

A life had been taken, and for me, I had lost a child I suffered to bring into the world and hide from my enemies.I stood there, my eyes fixed on the spot where Kyle's lifeless body had lain, my mind racing with though

Elena's eyes darted back and forth between me and the two men standing behind me, her expression a mix of shock and fear. She looked like she had seen a ghost, her face pale and her eyes wide with terror. "Valerie, what are you doing?" she stammered, her voice trembling. "What's going on?"I smiled again, a cold, calculated smile. "You know exactly what's going on, Elena," I said, my voice firm and confident. "You've been playing games with me for far too long. But now, it's my turn."I walked closer to her, the folder still held out in front of me. "You see, I've been doing some digging," I said, my eyes locked on hers. "And I've found some very interesting things." Elena's eyes widened as I opened the folder and pulled out a stack of documents. "These are all about Aurelia's illegal activities," I said, my voice dripping with venom. "And you're implicated in all of them."Elena's face went white, her eyes fixed on the documents in my hand. "Valerie, I don't know what you're talking
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife In the hands of enemies
As I gazed at the name, my mind raced with questions. How was this possible? What did it mean? I felt like I had been punched in the gut, my breath knocked out of me. "Tristan, what does this mean?" I asked, my voice shaking.Tristan's expression was grave. "It means that your father's murder is connected to Aurelia's illegal activities," he said. "And it means that you're in grave danger, Valerie."I felt a chill run down my spine. I had suspected that Aurelia was involved in my father's murder, but I had never imagined that it went this deep."What do we do now?" I asked, my mind racing with possibilities.Tristan's eyes locked on mine. "We need to get to the bottom of this," he said. "We need to find out who is behind this and what their motives are."I nodded, determination coursing through my veins. I was going to get to the truth, no matter what it took.As we stood there, a plan forming in our minds, I knew that we were in for the fight of our lives. But I was ready. I was read
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife unexpected reunion
As I came to, I found myself in a dark, damp cellar. I was lying on a cold, concrete floor, my head throbbing with pain. I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over me, forcing me back down."Tristan?" I called out, my voice shaking. "Tristan, are you there?"There was no answer. I was alone.I slowly got to my feet, my eyes adjusting to the darkness. I was in a small, windowless room, with stone walls and a low ceiling. A single, flickering light bulb cast eerie shadows on the walls.I stumbled forward, my hands outstretched in front of me. I felt my way along the wall, searching for a door. But there was none. I was trapped.Suddenly, I heard footsteps outside the room. Heavy, deliberate footsteps. I froze, my heart racing with fear.The door creaked open, and Aurelia stood in the doorway, a cold smile on her face."Welcome, Valerie," she said, her voice dripping with malice. "I see you're awake. Good. We have a lot to discuss."I tried to speak, but my voice was barely a
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife Mixed feelings
"Valerie, please," Jordan said, his eyes pleading. "I know I hurt you, but I love you. I want another chance to make it right."I shook my head, feeling a surge of annoyance. "You want another chance? After everything you put me through? You cheated on me, lied to me, and nearly destroyed me. No, Jordan. I'm not interested."Tristan stepped forward, his eyes flashing with anger. "Jordan, leave her alone. She's made it clear she doesn't want to go back to you."Jordan turned on Tristan, his face twisted with rage. "Stay out of this, Tristan. This is between me and Valerie."Tristan stood his ground. "I'm not going anywhere, Jordan. And neither are you, until you leave Valerie alone."Jordan snarled, but turned back to me, his eyes pleading. "Valerie, please. Just listen to me. I'll do anything to make it right."I stared at him, dumbfounded, as he continued to beg and plead. How could he possibly think I would take him back after everything he had done?"Jordan, stop," I said, my voice

A tiny life, growing inside you. How quaint."Jordan and I exchanged a shocked glance. How did she know? I had barely begun to show, and only Jordan and I were aware of the pregnancy.
