Chapter 76

Layla Patel

~•~

It was finally the holiday, and it was time for the kids to leave for New York. They had been so excited about the trip. If only I felt the same way.

We made a quick detour on our way to the airport. Hana wasn’t feeling too good, and she wanted to see the kids before they left.

As we got to her house, we spent a few minutes with her, then said our goodbyes before returning to the car. But just as I was about to step into the car, I saw my brother walking in my direction.

A part of me wanted to enter the car and slam the door on his face. But I just stood there and decided to be polite. I had tried my best to avoid him, but somehow he managed to show his face.

“I heard you are going to New York.” He said as his eyes raked over me from head to toe. “Do me a favor, don’t come back here.”

I rolled my eyes at him before turning around to the car. I thought he would be reasonable for once, but I was wrong. Our mother was sick and he was sti

  • Billionaire’s Ex-Wife’s Revenge   111. New Chapter

    Chapter 111 Lucas Brown ~•~ Becky’s sister actually wanted to drag me to court. After she realized she didn’t have a solid case, she resorted to asking for a settlement. She asked for a million dollars. I didn’t understand her pain, but if a million dollars would make her feel better, I didn’t mind wasting it on her. At least, she would get off my back. I stopped by my parents’ house after l was done with my lawyer. I hadn’t seen them in a while, and with everything that was going on, they requested to see me. “Lucas, come here.” My mother pulled me into a warm hug as soon as I stepped foot into the living room. “I missed you so much.” My lips curled into a soft smile. “I missed you too, ma’am.” “How are you holding up?” Her expression turned sympathetic as she broke the hug. “Do you need to go for therapy?” I couldn’t hold back my laughter even if I tried. “No, I don’t need therapy,” I said as we settled down on the couch. “Where is Dad?” I asked, my eyes

    Chapter 110 Layla Patel ~•~ Lucas had to take care of some stuff concerning Becky’s passing, so he wasn’t present for lunch with Olivia. A part of me was relieved because I knew that they weren’t exactly fond of each other. And I wasn’t in the mood to mediate tension. Still, I hoped one day we would all be able to sit together and just be civil. But that was a task for another day. Lunch lasted for about two hours. The kids engaged in conversation with me and Olivia. It was fun and I enjoyed catching up on our lives - even if most of my part was sad. I managed to smile - not because it didn’t hurt, but because I felt proud of myself for surviving them. It made me stronger. And I was happy that phase of my life was over. Now I was surrounded by people who genuinely loved and cared about me. Life felt a little bit lighter and I couldn’t stop smiling. Soon enough, the girls got bored with us and retreated to their room. After they left, I finally got t

    Chapter 109 Layla Patel ~•~ My lips curled into a proud smile as I watched everyone sit around the table, eating dinner. For a moment, everything seemed perfect. The girls were happy to be in New York. I was also happy to be there. It felt like a veil of sadness had been lifted from my life. There was peace. “Are you guys enjoying your food?” Lucas and the girls nodded collectively. “Mama is the best cook ever.” Akira bragged, turning to Lucas. Lucas chuckled. “I know, I’ve been missing a lot.” “I’m so happy that we are all here now.” Lily chimed in on the conversation, grinning from ear to ear. I felt the same way too. After dinner, the kids went upstairs to their room, while I stayed back to clear the table and wash the dishes. “You know you don’t have to do all these by yourself, right?” Lucas asked as he followed me into the kitchen. I laughed. “I know, but I just want to do it.” “You’re so humble.” I nodded. “I guess I am.” Sho

    Trigger warning: This chapter depicts suicidal themes and may be triggering for some readers. Reader discretion advised. Chapter 108 Lucas Brown ~•~ “You killed my sister! You fucking killed my sister because you didn’t want her to give birth to your child!” Becky’s sister’s voice sounded far away even though she was standing in front of me. I couldn’t bring myself to process what was happening. I just stood there, shocked. “Wait to hear from our lawyer. You will lose a lot of money after I take you to court.” She continued to threaten me as she cried. I didn’t kill Becky. She committed suicide. Becky killed herself by overdosing on drugs. I don’t know why she did it. But I didn’t ask her to do it. Why was her sister blaming me? Even if I didn’t want to have anything to do with her, I didn’t wish death on her. Becky had been my assistant for years, and I cared about her as a person. Seeing her lifeless body made my blood freeze. But I felt g

    Chapter 107 Layla Patel ~•~ In the middle of our conversation, Lucas received a phone call that left him shocked. “What’s going on?” I asked, my eyebrows etched in confusion. He exhaled sharply. “I don’t know yet. I have to go.” Without another word, he turned around and left me standing alone. I couldn’t help but wonder who was on the other end of the phone or what they had said to him. After he left, I walked back to my room and shut the door. I would get an explanation when he returned home. I just hoped that it wasn’t something bad that had happened. I picked up my phone and called Olivia. “Hey, it’s me again.” I chuckled lightly as she answered the call. “What’s going on?” Olivia asked with a hint of curiosity in her voice. “Something just happened,” I replied, sitting down on the bed. “Would you judge me if I told you that I have feelings for Lucas?” There was a brief silence. For a moment, I thought Olivia had abruptly ended the call because s

  • Billionaire’s Ex-Wife’s Revenge   106. Something Bad

    Chapter 106 Lucas Brown ~•~ Becky seemed terrified. “I didn’t know you would show up. By the time I called my sister to stop her, she was already at your house.” She offered a lame apology. My fists curled into a ball. I had to take multiple deep breaths to calm myself down. Before I could say anything else, Jamie stepped in. “You’ve been nothing but ungrateful. You should be lucky we didn’t sue you for trapping my brother with a baby. I don’t even like you but I’ve been here for you throughout your pregnancy but it’s not enough.” Becky whimpered, her voice shaky. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean….” Jamie cut her off before she could complete her sentence. “I don’t know what your intentions were but best believe, we will file for custody after you give birth and you will be out of our lives for good.” I stayed quiet as Jamie continued speaking. Someone actually needed to put Becky in her place. I had been giving her grace because I felt she was just lashing
