All Chapters of I Married My Billionaire Ex: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

LEXI'S POVI woke up early because, truthfully, I didn’t get much sleep last night. Chelsea, who shared the bed with me, was still sound asleep, while Chase slept on the floor. Audrey insisted on staying over at the condo out of concern for me, so the three of us came home together last night.I got up quietly to avoid waking the siblings. I decided to cook breakfast for the three of us since Chase and I both had work for the day. I had also made up my mind to return to the office because staying in the condo might drive me crazy. Chelsea had plans of her own today, so it was better for the three of us to eat breakfast together before heading off to our respective activities.I was used to cooking breakfast—I had been doing it for years. Whenever I knew Papa would have breakfast at home, I always volunteered to cook. He didn’t know, but it made me happy to see him enjoying the meals I prepared for him.Chase had plenty of food stocked in his condo. He rarely stayed there since he usua

THIRD POVThe video of Chase proposing to Lexi quickly went viral. Shiela saw it too, and she screamed at the top of her lungs, overwhelmed with rage. Her mother, Minda, immediately rushed to her and was equally furious when she saw the video."I can’t take this, Mama. Do something about this!" Shiela shouted angrily.Her mother promised her that the couple would be separated, but after watching the video, she realized their plan had become much more difficult. Chase had publicly announced his desire to marry Lexi to the entire country. She couldn’t accept this. She should have been the woman Chase proposed to, the one he knelt before. That proposal she had dreamed of for years was instead given to her mortal enemy."I can’t lose like this. She’s just Papa’s illegitimate child! She doesn’t deserve this. I should be the one, Mama. Only me!" she yelled hysterically.Her mother tried to calm her down, embracing her while stroking her hair."There’s still a way, my dear. That woman will n

CHELSEA'S POVI decided to stay at my brother's condo because I wanted to see Lexi again. However, when I arrived, no one was there. My brother had already told me he’d be home late, and I couldn’t get through to Lexi. She is not answering my calls. Left with no choice, I called Chase instead."Chelsea, are you at the condo already?" he greeted."Yes, Chase. But Lexi isn’t here," I replied, glancing at my watch.It was already seven in the evening. I didn’t want to think negatively, but I couldn’t help worrying about her. She once told me how Shiela had nearly attempted to harm her, so I couldn’t shake off my anxiety."I’m on my way home."That was all Chase said before hanging up. I let out a sigh and slumped onto the sofa. Both of them are going through so much right now. That’s why I wanted them to feel that I was on their side. I also wanted Lexi to experience what it’s like to have a supportive sibling, something her half-sister had denied her. She's a great person, and she does

SHIELA'S POVI threw my phone against the wall in a fit of rage, shattering it into pieces. I screamed loudly, punching the pillows on my bed repeatedly."Shiela, what is it this time?" Mama asked as she stormed into my room."We need to kill that woman," I spat, my voice filled with venom.The anger burning inside me was unbearable. If I saw Lexi now, I wouldn’t hesitate to end her life. She had become a massive thorn in my side, standing in the way of everything I wanted."Calm yourself, Shiela. It’s a good thing your father isn’t home yet, or he might have heard you," Mama scolded me, her tone was sharp.Tears streamed down my face as I trembled with rage. I felt nothing but hatred and fury coursing through me."She’s not the same Lexi who always agreed with Papa. I don’t understand what changed her. It can’t be because of Chase, since she already loves James," I ranted.Mama sat beside me and gently wiped my tears. "Haven’t I told you before? Leave Lexi to me. You just need to kee

THIRD POV“Can I finally get your approval to marry Lexi?” Chase asked, emotionless.Chase was currently at his family’s mansion, summoned by his father. He had left Lexi at the condo, still sound asleep. He had written her a note to ensure she wouldn’t worry when she woke up.It was the weekend, and Chase had planned to take Lexi out for some relaxation. However, since speaking with his father was a rare opportunity, he decided to indulge the older man’s request.“I want to understand why you’re so eager to marry that woman,” his father said seriously.He let out a bitter laugh. “Aren’t you the one pushing me to get married? That’s why you want me to marry that woman you liked,” he retorted."That woman has a name. It's Shiela.""Lexi also had a name," he said seriously.His father took a deep breath. “All we want is what’s best for you. Your mother chose Shiela because she knows who’s best for you. And it’s her.”Chase looked at his mother in disbelief. He had always thought she was
