All Chapters of The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

053Alora's POV A small groan slid past my lips as I slowly peeled my eyes open. The moment I did that though, I regretted it instantly. An intense jolt of pain spread through my head,forcing me to press my eyes shut again. Even after closing my eyes, it did nothing to reduce the pain I was feeling. Vall me crazy or whatever, but I couldn't help but feel like the pain had intensified. My fingers flew to my head and I pressed down on it. It was a stupid idea, but right now, I wasn't thinking straight and all I wanted was for the pain to stop. Was that too much to ask? Apparently, it was, because no matter what I did, it didn't alleviate the pain. I felt tears sting the back of my eyes and it took everything in me not to start weeping uncontrollably. Since I had run out of ideas, I did the most random thing ever. I prayed. It wasn't anything elaborate. All I did was mutter underneath my breath that I wanted the pain to disappear, and in a matter of seconds, the most unimagin

055Fredrick’s POV I poured myself a glass of wine, before settling into the sofa. Just like the last time, the TV was switched on but with the volume to the lowest dial, and for a quick moment, I wondered exactly how that had happened. I had already taken a full glass and some more before I remembered I wasn't alone. “Shit.” I mumbled before getting up on my feet. A sheepish smile made its way to my lips as my fingers found the back of my neck, before itching at it slightly. “I'm sorry, Laura. It completely slipped my mind. What would you like to drink?”“It's fine.” She gave me a polite smile. “I'll have anything you give me.” “One minute.” I nodded, before dashing back to the counter. My eyes scoured the many variety of wine at my bar, and eventually I settled on something fruity and mild. After grabbing the bottle and a glass, I headed back into the living room before setting it down. “Shall we start?” She asked and I nodded, before proceeding to open the bottle. S

057Alora's POV I was familiar with the terms guardian angels saviours. I'd even heard of the phrase a knight in shining armor and they all depicted the same thing. Someone or an unforseen incident, coming in or happening at the right time. It was usually unexpected and could be said to be magical sometimes, but up until this moment, I'd never experienced it, until now. I stared at my guardian angel with wide eyes. I couldn't see my reflection, but I knew myself well enough to know that I had tears shining through. My lips quivered and I wanted to yell. But whether it was going to come out as a happy scream or a cry of anguish, i wasn't exactly sure. “Laura?” Somehow, calling out her name didn't make it any more believable. A tiny part of me whispered in my ears that if I blinked, she just might disappear into thin air where she came from. “Is that really you?” She nodded once, but I couldn't bring myself to believe her. Perhaps it had something to do with the unshed tears tha

059Alora's POV I was settled, I think. After the little meeting with Laura, I honestly thought all hope had been lost, because the one thing that could prove, or aid in proving my innocence, was nowhere to be found, and it was all because of my carelessness. Now that I thought about it, maybe agreeing to meet up with a random stranger wasn't exactly the wisest thing to do. I should have contacted the police, and even if I hated to admit it, I could have reached to Fredrick at least, to give him a heads up on where I was headed. Yes, I was mad at him and had vowed to not speak to him because of his insinuations, but it still didn't change anything. A text was a text, and it could have saved me from all of this. I was guessing. I scrubbed my hands with my face, allowing Laura's parting words ring in my ears. “Don't worry, Alora.” She'd squeezed my shoulder. “We'll find that phone, and we'll do well to get you out of here. You just need to hang in here a little longer.” A li

061Eliaz's POV I had never been more proud of myself than I was at this moment. I always thought it was bullshit when people said they cherished other people's reactions, especially the bad ones but right now, I could very well say they weren't overreacting. I loved it. If anyone had told me that I would love the nasty reaction of the woman in front of me, I wouldn't have believed it. At all. Right now, If I could be granted one wish it would be to savor this moment forever and ever. I'm sure Laura didn't see it coming as well, one minute she was still speaking and the next, I had thrown the answer right in her face. “Save it.” My voice basically echoed in my head. “I already have my answer. No.”“What?” Laura's voice was cool and calm, surprisingly. “You heard me.” I nodded. “I don't think I stuttered.” The silence that settled in the room was tense. For the next couple of seconds, we stared each other down, neither of us wanting to back down. It carried on for the lon
