The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife A failed mission
Valerie, please put the gun down,'' Tristan's voice pleaded for the second time, but still, my actions were indifferent to his words.Watching my stepmother act so carefree even with a gun to her face increased the anger I was feeling. It was obvious she wasn't scared to die. I mean, how could she? After everything she had done to our family? She must be feeling fulfilled.''Are you too scared to pull the trigger? Or you're still an amateur with it?'' there was a hint of mockery in her tone. I wanted to pull the trigger on her that moment, to end her life, to prove her wrong, and most especially, to get revenge for everything she had done to our family."Don't listen to her,'' Tristan muttered to me, trying to grab hold of my hand, ''Just put it down. You can't do this right now,''I heaved a deep sigh. He was right. I couldn't afford to alter all the plans we had for them. It wasn't yet time to end my stepmother's life, not at the moment. There was so much humiliation I had in store
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife unexpected bond
‘’I’m scared,’’ I didn't know when I let those words out of my mouth, but it was the plain truth, my life was clearly in danger. I was scared of being killed by my enemies and not seeing my babies again. The most painful feeling was if I did nothing to take my revenge on them.I felt the warm touch of Tristan, and it suddenly calmed me down. It made me feel like I wasn't alone, and that he was right with me every step of the way. But then, I couldn't be so sure if he hadn't said so himself.‘’You don't have to be scared, Val,’’ I felt a tingle of happiness and relief within me at those words, ‘’You know I'm right here with you. And also, we made a pact to always help each other, no matter what. And that's exactly what we're going to do,’’I wasn't sure if I could believe those words, but I did anyway. I wanted it to soothe and calm me down. My stepmother wasn't just any woman that could be overlooked. She was the most dangerous out of everyone I had in mind to deal with. And, I knew t
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife Mystery
The next few days, Tristan and I made more plans on how to get our revenge on our enemies. I wanted to pay Emily a visit. It had been a long time since I saw her, and most especially, my babies.I discussed the issue with Tristan, and he was determined to go with me to see her. All I wanted was to get back custody of my twins.Tristan and I stood before the imposing gates of Emily's estate, our determination palpable. We had come too far to turn back now. Our plan was simple: confront Emily, demand she return my children, and take back what was rightfully mine.As we entered the mansion, Emily's gaze met mine, her eyes cold and calculating. ''Ah, the prodigal mother returns,'' she sneered.I ignored her jibe, my focus fixed on the prize. ''Emily, we're here for Kyle and Khloe. It's time to return them to me.''Emily's smile was infuriatingly smug. ''Oh, I don't think so. You see, I have custody now. And I won't be handing them over to a convicted felon like you.''Tristan's eyes flash
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife My mystery caller
Things were not going as planned anymore. Rather, they were getting worse, like a ship that was about to be capsized. Tristan and Darren had gotten into a fight, and he wasn't willing to say anything to me. I finally had custody of my children, but now, they want nothing to do with me.I had no idea what was happy with Tristan, or what lies Emily had fed my kids. I still didn't have any plans to get back at Elena. And as for Jordan, I had no idea what to do with him.''This is all so frustrating,'' I kept muttering to myself as I raked my hair backwards with my hands. What was I going to do?And what about the mysterious caller? It looked like he knew a lot about me already. But, who was he?Just then, I felt my phone vibrate, followed by the ringtone. My body shook in shock. Why was it ringing now that I was thinking about the caller? What if it was another mystery call?''Hello?'' I hollered, noticing it wasn't the same number, but another. I swallowed hard the moment I heard the vo
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife my knight in shining armor
I swallowed hard, and halted in my tracks. That voice belonged to none other than Jordan - my ex-husband. My heart was beginning to thump fast in fear. My instincts were right after all. Was he the mystery caller? How did he get my contact? And how did he find out about Tristan? ''Emily?'' my tone had a hint of surprise in it. I should have guessed this right. The moment Emily walked into the scene, I knew she was the brain behind everything.''Hello, Ivy,'' she sneered at me with a haughty smile as she walked over to Jordan, ''Or should I say, Valerie?''This was a joke. No, it had to be one! This wasn't happening. Emily wasn't standing with Jordan, maybe I was hallucinating or imagining weird things. But, on a second thought, they were both standing side by side and sneering at me. What if Emily had told Jordan about the twins I had for him while in jail? What if he had Kyle and Khloe in his custody? What if my kids were with him? No, that couldn't happen!''Emily,'' my teeth gri
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife meeting with the devil
As I slowly opened my eyes, the harsh reality hit me like a ton of bricks. I was in a cold, dark room, my body aching all over. The memories of the previous night's events came flooding back, and I felt a wave of fear wash over me."Tristan?" I whispered, my voice shaking."Valerie, oh, thank God you're awake," Tristan exclaimed, rushing to my side. "I was so worried about you. What did they do to you?"I winced in pain as I tried to sit up. "Jordan...he knows about Kyle and Khloe. He took them away from me."Tristan's expression turned from concern to anger. "That bastard. I'll make sure he pays for what he's done to you."I felt a surge of gratitude towards Tristan. "You saved me, Tristan. If it wasn't for you, I don't know what would have happened to me."Tristan's eyes locked onto mine, filled with determination. "We're going to get your children back, Valerie. And we're going to make sure Jordan can never hurt you again."I nodded, feeling a sense of hope for the first time in da
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife Two can play this game
''I need to do something to silence Jordan for good,'' I muttered as I walked around aimlessly in the house. He had managed to hurt me, but I was prepared to show him that I wasn't the naive Ivy Winters he got married to ten years ago. I was now the powerful and fearless Valerie who was tougher and rougher.''You need to rest,'' Tristan tried pacifying me, seeing the worried look on my face that threatened to worsen my health, ''We can talk about getting back at your ex-husband later,''I halted abruptly. Emily... Emily had the right to give information about my twins to Jordan. She betrayed me even after knowing everything I went through in jail. How could she forget so suddenly? She was my prison warden!''I can't rest,'' I threw back at Tristan, declining his suggestion, ''Jordan now knows about our children. He's taking them away from me. And the fact that I haven't seen them since they were born is weighing me down. I have to do something,''Tristan knew better than to keep argui
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife Maybe revenge wasn't worth it
As we drove away from the party, Hailey looked at us with a mix of confusion and fear. "What's going on, Aunt Valerie?" her tiny, innocent voice asked me, "Where are we going?"I smiled, trying to reassure her. "Don't worry, Hailey. I'm going to take you somewhere safe, okay?" The little girl nodded her head, still sipping her fruit drink.Tristan glanced at me from the rearview mirror, his eyes warning me to be careful. We couldn't let Hailey suspect that we had kidnapped her and that we were using her as leverage against her father - Jordan.Meanwhile, back at the party, Aurelia was starting to panic. She looked around frantically, searching for her daughter. "Hailey! Hailey, where are you?" she called out, but there was no response.She rushed over to Jordan, her voice trembling. "Jordan, Hailey's gone missing! I can't find her anywhere!"Jordan's face turned red with anger. "What do you mean she's gone missing? She was just here a minute ago!"Aurelia's eyes welled up with tears.

Jordan and I exchanged a soft smile, our hearts still tender from the emotional storm we'd weathered.As we sat there, the tension between us began to dissipate, replaced by a sense of hope and renewal.

The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife A turning point
I stood my ground, my eyes locked on Jordan's. "I'm going to find him," I repeated. "I'm going to find Tristan, no matter what."Jordan's face twisted in anger, his eyes flashing with a fierce determination. "You're making a mistake, Valerie," he said. "You're making a mistake that will tear our family apart."I felt a surge of fear, my heart racing with emotion. But I refused to back down. I knew that I had to find Tristan, had to know if he was alive."I'm willing to take that risk," I said. "I'm willing to do whatever it takes to find him."Jordan's eyes narrowed, his face hardening. "Then so be it," he said. "But don't expect me to be here when you get back. I won't be waiting for you, Valerie. I won't be waiting for you to come crawling back when you realize you've made a mistake."I felt a pang of pain, my heart aching. But I refused to back down. I knew that I had to find Tristan, had to know if he was alive."Goodbye, Jordan," I said. "I'll be back when I find Tristan."And wi
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife A perfect possibility
As I stood there, phone still in hand, my mind raced with a mix of emotions. Disbelief, hope, fear, and uncertainty swirled inside me like a maelstrom. Tristan, alive? The possibility was both exhilarating and terrifying. I felt like I was standing on the precipice of a cliff, staring into an unknown abyss.My heart, once heavy with grief, now raced with a glimmer of hope. I had thought I had closure, that I had begun to heal. But Julia's words had ripped open the wound, and I was bleeding again.I looked at Hailey, my beautiful daughter, who was watching me with concern. Her eyes were wide with questions, but I couldn't answer them yet. I couldn't voice the hope that was rising inside me.And then there was Jordan, my rock, my confidant. He had been my support system, my partner in every sense of the word. But now, as I looked at him, I saw fear in his eyes. Fear of losing me, of losing what we had built together.I felt a pang of guilt, knowing that I was carrying his child. A child
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife Recovery and revelations
As I lay in the hospital bed, surrounded by the sterile smell of antiseptic and the soft beeping of machines, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. Aurelia was finally behind bars, and I was safe. Julia's hand held mine, her grip tight and reassuring.The doctor bustled in, a kind smile on her face. "Welcome back, Valerie. You've had an quite an ordeal. But you're safe now. You and your baby are going to be just fine."I nodded, my throat still dry. "Thank you," I croaked.The doctor nodded. "We'll get you hydrated and comfortable. You've got a long road to recovery ahead of you, but you're going to be okay."As the doctor examined me, Julia filled me in on everything I had missed. The police had found evidence of Aurelia's sinister plans, and she was facing charges for attempted murder and conspiracy.I listened, my mind reeling with the implications. I had been so blind, so trusting. But Julia and Jordan had seen through Aurelia's facade, and they had saved me.As the days passed,
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife The final confrontation
As we stood before Aurelia, her gaze pierced through us like a dagger. Her eyes seemed to bore into our souls, and I could feel her malevolent energy coursing through the air. Jordan's hand tightened around mine, a subtle reminder of our unity and strength.Aurelia's gaze lingered on me, her eyes narrowing as she took in my appearance. And then, her gaze dropped to my stomach. A sly smile spread across her face, and she let out a low, menacing chuckle."Ah, Valerie," she purred. "I see you're carrying a little secret. 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. I instinctively placed a hand on my stomach, as if shielding my baby from Aurelia's wrath.Aurelia's eyes gleamed with knowledge, and she took a step closer to us. "You think you can keep secrets from me? I have eyes and ears everywhere. I know all about your little family, Valerie. And I w
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife Safe Haven
As we stood frozen in the doorway, the eerie silence was broken only by the creaking of the open door. The air inside was heavy with the scent of vandalism and menace. Jordan's eyes never left the graffiti, his face pale with a mix of fear and anger.I felt a shiver run down my spine as I stepped inside, my eyes scanning the room for any signs of Aurelia's presence. The furniture was overturned, our belongings scattered everywhere, and the windows were open, curtains billowing in the wind. It was as if a tornado had ripped through our home, leaving destruction in its wake.Jordan's voice was low and menacing. "She's been watching us, Valerie. She knows where we live." He took a step forward, his eyes fixed on the graffiti. "She's trying to intimidate us, to make us feel vulnerable."I nodded, my heart racing with fear. "We need to call the police," I whispered, my eyes fixed on the graffiti.Jordan nodded, his eyes never leaving the message. "I'll call them. You check the rest of the
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife Shattered dreams
As we delved deeper into the planning process, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement mixed with trepidation. Julia's enthusiasm was infectious, and she had a way of making me feel like everything was going to be okay. But despite her reassurances, I couldn't shake off the feeling of uncertainty that had been plaguing me since I found out I was pregnant.As we discussed everything from baby names to nursery decor, I couldn't help but think about the future. What kind of mother would I be? Would I be able to provide for my child's needs? And what about Aurelia? Would she continue to pose a threat to me and my baby?Julia seemed to sense my unease and placed a reassuring hand on my arm. "Valerie, you're going to be a great mother. You're strong, capable, and loving. Your baby will be lucky to have you."I smiled, feeling a warmth spread through my chest.

As we drove away from the house, the tension in the air was palpable. I could feel Jordan's eyes on me, his gaze burning with intensity. I knew he was still upset with me for going to the house alone, but I also knew he was relieved that I was safe."Jordan, I'm sorry," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I know I shouldn't have gone there alone. But I just needed to see it for myself. I needed to know that Tristan was really gone."Jordan's eyes softened, and he reached out to take my hand. "I know, Valerie," he said. "I understand. But next time, please don't do something like that. You could have been hurt. Or worse."I nodded, feeling a surge of guilt. "I promise, Jordan. I'll be more careful next time. I'll never put myself in danger like that again."Jordan's eyes locked onto mine, his gaze piercing. "You better not," he said. "Because I can't lose you, Valerie. You're the only family I have left."I felt a surge of emotion at his words, and I squeezed his hand. "I love yo
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife Lurking danger
As I turned to exit the house, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me. My heart skipped a beat as I spun around, my eyes scanning the empty hallway. "Who's there?" I called out, my voice shaking slightly. The footsteps grew louder, echoing off the walls. I felt a chill run down my spine as I realized I wasn't alone in the house. My mind raced with worst-case scenarios as I called out again, "Who is it? Show yourself!" But there was only silence.The footsteps stopped right behind me, and I could feel a presence looming over me. I slowly turned around, my eyes wide with fear. And then, I saw her. Rebecca, Tristan's ex-wife, standing in front of me with a cold, calculating gaze. Her eyes seemed to bore into my soul, and I felt a surge of fear."What are you doing here?" I whispered, my voice barely audible.Rebecca's eyes narrowed, her lips curling into a sneer. "I could ask you the same thing, Valerie," she said, her voice dripping with venom. "What are you doing in my house?"I swallowe
