Claimed By The Billionaire Ex
Aurora left her husband five years ago after seeing him with a mistress. His childhood friend who everyone in the world felt belonged to her husband while his real wife was kept a secret from the public. She makes a decision to leave immediately and she does not know she is pregnant with their baby.
But when her world shatters, she’s left with nothing but desperation and a secret she never wanted to keep. Her five-year-old son, Alex, needs a miracle, one only his father, the brooding billionaire Jace Carter, can give. But Jace doesn’t know about Alex. And worse, he’s still haunted by Aurora’s mysterious disappearance years ago.
Fighting for her child’s life, Aurora crashes back into Jace’s world, a world of ruthless power plays, devastating secrets, and a passion neither of them can deny. Jace demands more than just the truth, he wants Aurora and their son back in his life, on his terms. And he doesn't care that Aurora claims Alex isn't his son or that she is likely married. He wants her back and would stop at nothing to get her.
Torn between old wounds and a second chance, Aurora must decide, will she risk her heart one last time for the man who broke it, or walk away forever from the only man who could save their child?
Secrets. Sacrifice. Scorching chemistry.
What if your only hope was the billionaire ex who once destroyed you?

Chapter: Unwelcome Company Chapter 60: Unwelcome CompanyJace’s POVThe shower had helped more than I expected.Steam still clung to my skin as I walked out of the bathroom, towel in hand, hair damp, the faint peppermint scent of the soap lingering around me. The penthouse was quiet—quiet in that way it always was, where the silence felt too big, too polished, too empty to belong to an actual person. But tonight, for the first time in a long time, the emptiness didn’t press on me the same way.I couldn’t stop thinking about Alex.Everything with him had gone better than I expected—better than I’d allowed myself to hope. I thought he would be wary or shy or uninterested, but no. He took to me like he’d known me for years. The memory of his laugh still sat warm in my chest. The little way he’d grinned when he’d called me Magic Man like he truly believed it, like he thought I could pull something out of thin air.I found myself smiling like an idiot at the thought.I hardly smiled since Aurora left, the only peopl

Chapter: The Loudest Distraction Chapter 59: The Loudest Distraction Aurora’s POV I decided to settle with a Netflix movie before my thoughts occupied my brain. It was like everything was on repeat. Like I couldn't get Jace and Alex out of my head. It annoyed me but I understood why after all.I shook my head, I had to control my thoughts and feelings. I shouldn't be focused on Jace at all. I shouldn't be thinking about what could be especially when it could no longer be. And if a movie wasn't going to help me snap out if it then I was going to use the best possible method I could ever think of and by best I meant, a human.I picked up my phone and texted my best friend turned sister.'You up?' I sent.Within minutes, my phone rang.I didn’t even bother looking at the caller ID. Only one person responded to texts with calls this fast.I swiped immediately.“Kels?”“Allô, ma chérie! Comment tu vas?” she shouted cheerfully in French.I laughed at the dramatic warmth in her voice.“Hello to you too. And really? Full

Chapter: What Could Have Been Chapter 58: What Could Have BeenAurora’s POVToday was only supposed to be an introduction between Jace and Alex. That was all I planned. A simple meeting. Controlled. Short. Easy to escape from if it turned awkward.I never imagined Alex would cling to him like a magnet the moment they met and call him magic man at every chance he got.I didn’t imagine Alex would tug on his sleeve, or giggle at everything he said, or forget I existed for entire minutes because he was too busy dragging Jace around like he’d known him forever.And Jace… God. I didn’t expect Jace to be good at this. Not this good.He’d been nervous at first — stiff, careful, too aware of how fragile Alex looked. But once Alex started bossing him around like he owned him, something in Jace loosened. He let himself be dragged from game to game. He let Alex talk his nonsense about magic and spells and slide races. He didn’t snap. He didn’t sigh. He didn’t tell Alex to stop or be quiet.He listened.He listened to every ri

Chapter: Alex and JaceChapter 57: Alex and Jace(Jace's POV)He dragged me toward the ring toss, but on the way he tripped a little. I caught him under the arms before he fell.He blinked up at me, surprised. “You fast.”“You almost hit the ground,” I said.He giggled. “Mommy say I clumsy.”I looked over my shoulder. Aurora was watching us, but she didn’t look anxious. Just attentive.“You ready to win a prize?” I asked him.He threw the first ring—and missed entirely. It rolled away.The second one hit the post and bounced off.His shoulders dropped.“Aww…”“Hey,” I said. “Try again.”He looked unsure. “But I miss…”“So? Try again.”He lifted the third ring slowly… then tossed it.It landed perfectly.His entire face exploded into joy. “I did it! I did it! I did it!”He jumped in place, nearly dropping Renard.The vendor handed him a small sticker sheet and he pressed it to his chest proudly. “I won!”“You did,” I said, kneeling beside him. “You didn’t give up.”He smiled so widely his eyes almost disappe

Chapter: Learning HimChapter 56: Learning HimJace’s POVAlex’s hand was small in mine—tiny, warm, soft. He held on with this trusting little grip that made my chest tighten in a way I wasn’t prepared for. He looked up at me with bright eyes, still smiling like my hand was the best discovery he’d made today.And I… I was trying to remember everything I’d studied like a madman for the past twenty-four hours.A day ago, I had locked myself in my home with my laptop and typed how to talk to a four-year-old into every search bar possible. I watched lectures, read articles, skimmed about a hundred pages of blogs written by parents who apparently had a saint’s level of patience. I studied what kids his age liked, what they didn’t, what games they were drawn to, how long their attention span usually lasted, how you were supposed to respond if they got overwhelmed.I even practiced smiling in the mirror because one article said children could sense tension like animals did.But the moment he stood in front of me—

Chapter: The First Official Interaction Chapter 55: The First Official Interaction Aurora’s POVFor a moment, none of us spoke.Alex stayed half-hidden behind my leg, peeking at Jace with wide, uncertain eyes. Jace crouched in front of him, hands loosely braced on his knees, waiting with a patience that made something tight in my chest unwind just a little.But the silence stretched too long — the kind of silence that made shyness grow instead of fade.I cleared my throat softly.“Alex, sweetheart… don’t you have something you want to tell magic man?”He shifted, his little fingers gripping the fabric of my jeans. I could feel his nervous wiggle through my leg. Then, finally, he whispered, barely audible, “’ank you.”Jace blinked, surprised. “You’re thanking me? For what?”Alex’s eyes lifted slowly, his voice still soft but certain.“For giving me your organ.”The way he said it — completely earnest, completely convinced — made warmth rise in my throat. Jace let out a quiet breath, the corner of his mouth tugging into a sm

Chapter: chapter 74Chapter 74"Hey," Emma said to the blonde woman as she took a seat next to her on the bench. She was lost in thought and it was obvious she had been crying. The woman wiped her tears and turned to Emma with a frown.Emma gave her a sad smile. " You are Victoria right?"The woman nodded but she still had a frown plastered on her face. "I knew Hunter. I was in the car with him...he protected me." Emma said to her.Victoria's eyes widened in recognition. "You are Emma? Brandon's fiancee?"Emma chuckled. "Fiancee is a stretch. We are not even dating.""What?""But it's not like I don't want to date him or anything. I do but…." Emma released a heavy sigh. " Can we just talk about the reason I'm here?""I'm all ears. We can talk about anything." Victoria said to her with a small smile."I'm sorry about Hunter."Victoria stared into space. It was clear that Hunter's situation affected her so much."I'm trying to be strong for him," Victoria replied.Emma nodded and they sat together for a w

Chapter: chapter 73Chapter 73Emma cried in relief when she saw Brandon. She wanted to move to him to give him a hug but her hands which were handcuffed limited her movement. Brandon wasted no time in getting it off her and then she was in Brandon's embrace. He held her close, taking in her scent and her face. He inspected for any signs of injury on her body and fussed over her. Emma did not imagine for once that Brandon fussing over her would be something she appreciated. It was obvious he was in love with her. She hated that it had to take a scare before she was finally able to admit to herself that she was also in love with him. She was immediately taken to the hospital and it wasn't until later that she found out that it was because of luck that Brandon had been able to find her. Lydia had been lying when she said the phone was in the building with them. It was a lie and after everything Emma had passed through at the hands of her supposed friend, she wasn't so sure she would be able to forgive Lyi

Chapter: chapter 72Chapter 72Kevin was over the moon. Zoey said yes. He was about to tell his friends when he received a call from Benji. The urgency in his voice was what made Kevin move. He had no idea if he would be able to make it in time but he was willing to try. After convincing Zoey to stay, he got into his car and drove towards the direction of Emma's previous home. He hoped he would be able to make it in time. Not just for him but for every single person in their circle who loved her.—--------------------------------------------------------------Emma had no idea how long she would be able to keep up the pretence. With every new information gotten from her ex-best friend, she fought the urge to throw up. How was she so evil and how had she been so blind to everything that had happened? Lydia had wanted everything about Emma. She was so obsessed with Emma that she slept with her cousin while screaming her name. Emma had no idea why Lydia had told her the information. If Lydia thought it was

Chapter: chapter 71Chapter 71Brandon had been so excited to get to Emma. He knew there was no way she would have been expecting him when he showed up at the prison that was if she was still there. He felt the meeting with Mr Chen had been a waste of time. The issues discussed were issues that could have been resolved over the phone but the man had wanted to see them. With every passing minute during their discussion, he had to fight the urge to punch the man's face. At least it is over now.He turned to Kevin who was no doubt texting Zoey."Walk fast, I need to meet Emma." Kevin ignored him and continued texting. Brandon was sure he was chatting with Zoey but he had no idea why his brother was so immersed so he sneaked up to his brother who did not notice and took a glimpse at the conversation."You are planning a surprise for her?""Holy fuck!" Kevin said in shock as he moved away putting some distance between him and his brother."Why are you so surprised?" Brandon asked him."I don't know…because y

Chapter: chapter 70Chapter 70Emma groaned. Her head ached badly. She tried touching her head, as if willing the pain to go away but she could not move her hands. She struggled and found out it was handcuffed to a bed. Emma was widely awake now. She observed her environment. She was on a bed in a very tiny room. She was sure this wasn't the place Hunter had been driving her to….wait, she thought to herself with a frown. What if Hunter had been behind this? She shook her head. That wasn't possible. From the way Hunter had spoken it was clear that he was very much into his wife and family and she was sure Benji wouldn't employ someone who wasn't trustworthy. After a few minutes of trying to determine where she was, she remembered the accident. A vehicle from nowhere had hit them. She had no idea what happened next because she blacked out. That was why her head hurt, she thought to herself. That could be the only explanation. But if there was an accident, what had happened with Hunter? The room in which s

Chapter: chapter 69Chapter 69Emma had no idea what had prompted her cousin to say that but it gave her something to ponder on. Was he talking about Brandon and his friends? No, she shook her head. She was not a good judge of character but she knew this had nothing to do with Brandon. Maybe it was something else? Someone in the future?"Watch where you're going." She heard a voice say to her which made her pause.She took in her surroundings and saw she was headed straight for a wall. The person jogged to meet up with her."The vehicle is the other way. You were so lost in thought." He said to her,Emma gave him an appreciative smile as he led her to the car which was parked on the other side. He entered the car also and turned to Emma."Am I to drive you back home or…."Emma smiled. "Benji said you have somewhere to be so I don't plan on wasting your time." He gave her an appreciative nod but then his phone rang. "I'm sorry, I have to take this."Emma gave him the go-ahead. But he wasn't being secret
