All Chapters of Married To The Vengeful Billionaire: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

31Camila admired herself in the mirror. She was wearing a sleeveless silk lavender gown that hugged her curves perfectly. Her hair was styled in an elegant updo, and her makeup was simple but stunning.She looked good enough to make Alejandro lose his mind, but she quickly shook off the thought, convincing herself this wasn't about what Alejandro thought.There was a knock on her door, and she went to answer it. It was Peter, looking stunned. Her beauty always left him speechless, but after what happened last time, he knew better than to compliment her."Mr. Ruiz said I should come get you," he said, clearing his throat to distract himself from the breathtaking sight."He's not coming home?" Sadness flashed through Camila's eyes; she had hoped he would pick her up himself."He had to attend to something urgently," Peter informed her."Oh," Camila murmured. Maybe she was misinterpreting things; perhaps his work still took precedence over her."Let's go then," she mumbled and left the

33"That would be all for today, thank you all for making it here," Alejandro greeted his clients and investors as they wrapped up their meeting.Stepping out of the boardroom, he bumped into a female employee who looked terrified."Mr. Ruiz," her voice shook as she called his name. "Mrs. Ruiz is..."Alejandro's eyes darkened before she could finish. "What happened to my wife, and where is she?" he cut her off, his expression a mix of anger and worry."In the office clinic," the employee replied. Alejandro didn't ask any more questions and rushed to the clinic.Camila lay on the bed, a bandage wrapped around her wrist where the snake had bitten her. The doctor checked her vitals, jotting them down in a book.Alejandro entered, and everyone stopped what they were doing to greet him. He wasn't phased; his eyes were on Camila, who was sleeping on the bed with her bandaged hand.He walked toward her, sitting on a small stool and touching her forehead."What happened, Thomas? Why is she he

35RUIZ ROYAL ESTATE ••••Alejandro was working on his laptop and reviewing some documents when Diego entered the office."The files contain the person behind the snake," Diego informed him, dropping some files on Alejandro's desk.Alejandro paused his work to open the pictures. It was a blonde woman who didn't look familiar to him."Her name is Ximena Leon, Rafael's ex-girlfriend," Diego added. Alejandro's grip on the file tightened.After a moment of silent anger, he dropped the file and stood up. "Come with me," he ordered Diego, leaving the office."Where are we going, boss?" Diego asked, running after him."To Marcus Ventures. He needs to learn how to keep his properties off mine," Alejandro replied. Before Diego could reason with him, he had already reached his car.Diego helplessly shook his head and followed him.••••••••••••••••••••••••••••MARCUS GLOBAL VENTURES **Diego parked the car, and Alejandro didn't wait for him to get the door. He stepped out himself, hands in his p

37A tense staring contest ensued between Alejandro, Camila, and Sofia. Alejandro sat on the couch, legs crossed comfortably, his expression dry."Is anyone going to explain?" Sofia broke the silence."Well...I...he..." Camila scratched her legs nervously, unsure where to start."Your daughter fell ill today. She just got discharged from the hospital and didn’t eat anything last night. As if that wasn’t enough, she wants to starve herself again this morning," Alejandro reported."Hey!" Camila threw him a glare before turning to her mom. "He didn’t return home last night. I couldn’t eat because I was worried about him. I think you should ask your son-in-law what he was doing late at night in the company. Maybe he wasn’t even there."Alejandro's gaze darkened. "What do you mean by that?""I don’t know, you should ask yourself," Camila rolled her eyes and crossed her legs, maintaining a stubborn look.Sofia was lost in what was happening, but one thing that bothered her was hearing that

39BRIARWOOD SCHOOL ****Brett had just finished arranging his books in his locker and was on his way to the classroom when someone grabbed him, covering his mouth and pulling him aside.Before Brett could comprehend anything, lips landed on his, kissing him madly. He struggled to break free from Elijah's arms before slapping him across the face."I'm sorry," Elijah mumbled. "You were driving me crazy out there; I can't seem to control myself anymore," he sighed.Brett wiped his lips. Elijah had dragged him to the male restroom, so he went to the basin to wash his mouth."I'm sorry, Brett," Elijah said again."Can you just leave me alone, Elijah? If you really want me, then what's stopping you from having me anytime you want? Instead, you prefer to act like we are a crime. Then so be it, Elijah! So be it!" Brett complained before leaving the male restroom.Elijah angrily kicked the trash can before looking at himself in the mirror. He thought for a while before going out, but unknown
