The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife Tristan and Hailey
It was funny to think that barely six months after I got released from jail, I was back in it. I felt stabs of pain too, just sitting in there and knowing I was jailed for something that was clearly unintentional.But, the law wasn't going to believe me. They didn't see things like that. Unintentionally or not, I had hurt a little girl. And, I still had no idea if she had survived the bullet or not.Tristan… what about Tristan? He had done nothing but try to save and make me get all I wanted. For the few months since we found each other, it had been pure bliss. Never had I imagined seeing a kind soul like him, but now he was hurt. And it was nothing but my fault.Jordan wasn't arrested, even when it was known that he had shot Tristan in his chest. I was paying for my crimes, but he was still living out there in freedom.‘’Maybe I shouldn't have tried to take revenge. It's all a disaster,’’ I kept wailing and crying to myself while sitting on the cold walls of the prison. Now, that I w
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife twists and turns
‘’About Hailey…’’‘’Yes? What happened to her?’’ I probed at him, already feeling uneasy at his hesitation. He kept quiet for a few more seconds, heaved a deep sigh, then stared at me uneasily, ‘’She's alive… Hailey survived,’’‘’My sweet little girl,’’ I cried out in happiness and relief, placing a hand over my mouth in surprise, “I’m so happy right now. Thank God she survived,’’Tristan nodded his head, then clicked his tongue as he watched me sob. Now that I knew Hailey had made it alive, I was willing to retrace my steps and make a change. This whole madness with Jordan, Aurelia, and Elena had to end.‘’We have to put an end to all this, Valerie,’’ Tristan uttered to me, like he could read my mind and thoughts, ‘’I think it's best if we get what we want without hurting innocent lives. Let's be more careful with our actions and decisions,’’I nodded in agreement with him. I wasn't going to keep on making innocent people suffer and get hurt. All I had to do was find a more safer way
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife Aurelia's revenge
I knew Aurelia wasn't bluffing. She was definitely going to come for me after what happened to her daughter. I watched Hailey closely with tears in my eyes. My bullet had gone straight to her left leg, and it was making her leap.‘’Aurelia, just listen to me,’’ I said to my stepsister in a pleading tone, ‘’I really didn't mean for that to happen. I mean, I love Hailey so much like my own daughter,’’She scoffed at my words, clicking her tongue as she bit down her lips in anger. I was the one who wanted to get back at them at all costs, but here I was, pleading and begging the ones who had done nothing but made my life miserable from the start.‘’I know I wronged you, Ivy,” Aurelia sounded like she was about to cry, and I could feel my tears forming too as she spoke to me, ‘’But, never will I even have the thoughts of hurting your own children. Hailey did nothing to you. I pleaded with you to not hurt her, but you broke your promise. You almost took the life of my only child!’’ My tea
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife Now, the tables turns!
I ran at speed to meet Tristan in the car. Aurelia had threatened to get back at me by using my kids as a bait, and I needed to stop her before she did as she wanted.‘’Tristan,’’ my voice conveyed the distress and uneasiness I was feeling, ‘’Kyle and Khloe. We need to protect them,’’He stared at me with eyebrows furrowed in curiosity. I opened the passenger's seat hurriedly and threw myself in to sit.‘’What happened?’’‘’It's Aurelia,’’ I was almost out of breath with my reply, ‘’She wants to get back at me for what I did to Hailey. Kyle and Khloe are in danger. We need to stop her,’’His eyebrows furrowed in concern, with his right hand turning on the car to drive off. He knew better than to discuss our plans while in front of the enemy's house.‘’Just calm down, Valerie,’’ he tried pacifying me, with his tone soothing and calm, but my heartbeat was already faster than normal. I was trying to find a way out, but I couldn't think of anything to do. I had not even a single idea abou
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife A kid for another kid
I walked with fear into the building. Everywhere was dark and quiet. As I walked, my heels made a tapping noise that echoed through the abandoned building.Tristan held me firmly by the hand, trying to calm me through my fears as we walked side by side. But, I was more than horrified at the thought of what Aurelia was planning. I scanned the area in search of her. Yet, it seemed like Tristan and I were the only ones there.‘’Do you think she's up to something terrible?’’ I inquired from Tristan, like he knew the answer to my question while my eyes scanned the whole place. We had gotten to almost half of the building, yet Aurelia wasn't in sight. Instead of uttering a word, he squeezed my hand gently, making my fears reappear.I took my phone out of my purse, and tried dialing the number Aurelia had called me with. The fact that she wanted me to meet her where I had a gun to her head earlier made me feel chills all over my body. It rang at the first dial, and her shrill voice answered
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife Against all hopes
‘’Emily?’’ The emotion in my tone was indescribable. I wasn't that shocked to see her. The only thing that baffled me was why she was conniving to hurt the same children she had taken care of from birth. And to think that she had been fighting tooth and nail to get custody of them? Then this? She was going to join hands with Aurelia to hurt them?‘’I… I can't believe this,’’ I stuttered, suddenly feeling dizzy, but thanks to Tristan, who was standing solidly behind me. He caught me just in time before I crashed to the floor.‘’Surprised?’’ Emily's voice was annoying to my ears. It sounded so unpleasant to hear, and the annoying smile on her lips made it even worse. I was burning with rage.‘’How dare you do this to my kids?’’ I was feeling shaky, but I still managed to grit my teeth at her, ‘’You're trying to hurt the very children you claim to love?’’She kept clicking her tongue as she shaked her head in pity. I didn't know how much longer I could take in all that was happening. I
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
The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife Bloody revenge
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

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. Julia's words of encouragement meant a lot to me, and I knew that she was right. I was going to be a good mother, no matter wh

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
