The call cut off abruptly, and Chiara slipped Alexander’s phone back to where she had taken it from.

Alexander had just stepped out of a top-secret meeting—one so classified that everyone’s phones had been surrendered at the door and sealed away until it was over. As he exited the conference room, still straightening his cufflinks, his sharp gaze caught the familiar sight of a girl who had been shadowing him for days.

He knew exactly who she was—Chiara Reinaldi, the so-called little princess of

    Ava bit her lower lip, then let out a light, incredulous laugh.“Ten times? As if you’ve got the ability to do that!”The man remained seated at the simple old dining table, one hand elegantly cradling his bowl as though they were having the most ordinary breakfast in the world. There was an almost infuriating calmness about him.“You can try.”“Ungrateful wretch!” Ava gritted her teeth. “I saved you, and instead of being grateful, you treat me like this?”Alexander glanced sideways at her, his expression composed, his voice carrying that effortless American drawl that somehow made his shamelessness sound perfectly reasonable.“Offering myself to you and cherishing only you for the rest of my life—that’s the greatest gratitude I can give you.”Ava curled her lip.Who on earth would want that?To say something so outrageously shameless while wearing such a righteous, almost noble expression—honestly, probably only Alexander could manage it.There was simply no reasoning with a man like

    Settling back down beside the toilet, Ava rested her head against one hand and stared blankly at the tiled floor.Her stomach still churned unpleasantly, leaving a bitter taste at the back of her throat. She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to steady herself and make sense of the miserable morning she was having.Little did she know, she would barely have half a minute of peace.Knock, knock, knock.The sound came from the bathroom door again.Ava's eyes snapped open.She stared at the door in disbelief.She couldn't even have five minutes of peace while using the bathroom. Was this man deliberately trying to drive her mad?Irritation flared through her already frayed nerves.She turned towards the door and snapped, "I'm giving you three seconds to get as far away from this door as possible!"There was a brief silence.Then a small, familiar voice came from the other side."Mommy."Ava froze."It's me."Her anger vanished instantly, replaced by guilt.She had completely forgotten

  • Billionaire’s V1rgin Ex-Wife   * 1st * Chapter 235 : So… this is who you really are.

    Late into the night, Ava dreamed...It was not the sort of dream that came in fragments, nor one that faded upon waking. No—this one unfolded with unsettling clarity, as though memory itself had decided to return, dressed in silk and candlelight.She was younger.Far younger.Barely more than a girl.The grand Vanderbilt estate shimmered around her, ablaze with golden light and music. That night—the night she had saved the formidable patriarch, Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt—had altered the course of everything that followed.And in reward, she had been invited to the ball.She remembered the first moment she saw him.Alexander.Standing beneath the chandeliers, tall and self-assured, yet with something unguarded lingering beneath his composure. Their eyes had met only briefly before he crossed the floor and asked for her hand.And then—They danced.From the very first note to the final fading chord of the evening.Not once did they tire.Not once did they falter.It was as though they had

    “Sir.”Finn stood outside the door, a large paper bag in hand. “Everything you requested is inside—including your phone.”Alexander took the bag, his expression already returned to its usual cold composure. “Go back and find out who that man was. I want a full report. Contact me the moment you learn anything.”“Yes, sir.”Finn hesitated.His gaze flicked—just briefly—towards the interior of the apartment, then back to Alexander. “This place… may not be entirely safe.”“It’s fine,” Alexander replied, his tone leaving no room for argument.Finn exhaled quietly. “Very well.”He took a step back, then paused again, clearly wrestling with himself.“Sir… if I may—”Alexander’s brows drew together. “You may not.”Finn pressed on anyway, lowering his voice. “Women are not won over by force. They respond to patience… to gentleness.”A beat.“Try treating her kindly.”Alexander’s expression darkened immediately. “I don’t require your advice.”Finn raised both hands in surrender. “Of course not.

    The moment the lift doors parted, Ava recognised the familiar corridor and could have wept—whether from relief or sheer exhaustion, she could not quite tell.They had arrived at her building.She twisted in Alexander’s arms at once, intent on freeing herself, but his hold only tightened.“If you keep moving,” he murmured against her ear, his voice low and dangerously even, “I’ll take you again.”The threat was quiet—far too quiet—and therefore entirely believable.Ava stilled.She bit the inside of her cheek, then deliberately relaxed against him, allowing her weight to settle against his chest. It was not surrender—it was strategy. A sensible woman, after all, did not choose to fight a battle she was certain to lose, particularly while injured and at a disadvantage.And Alexander Vanderbilt, infuriatingly, always did exactly as he said he would.By the time she had finished that thought, he had already carried her into the lift.Finn followed with a discreet efficiency, gesturing for

    It took nine neat stitches to close the wound.After cutting the final thread, the doctor carefully dressed Ava’s leg, wrapping it in clean bandages with practiced efficiency. He then straightened and began listing the necessary precautions in a measured tone.“Try not to put strain on the wound. Keep it dry. Return immediately if there is any sign of infection—swelling, redness, fever…”“Does she need to be hospitalized?” Alexander interrupted, his brows still drawn tight.The doctor shook his head with a reassuring smile. “It’s only a superficial injury. There’s no need for admission. I’ll prescribe some anti-inflammatory medication.”Alexander did not look entirely satisfied.“What about anything else?”“Anything else?” The doctor paused, running quickly through his mental checklist. Finding nothing lacking, he added, “Diet-wise, she should keep things light. More vitamins, more protein—it will help the wound heal faster.”Alexander gave a short nod. “Add an extra box of ointment.”

    Alexander caught up to her before she could get into the driver’s seat, his arms wrapping around her from behind. Serena stiffened, glancing over her shoulder, her eyes darting toward the shadows around the parking lot. The party was still going strong inside, music and laughter spilling faintly th

    Alexander stood just outside the doorway, a strange blend of bitterness and sweetness curling in his chest. He didn’t say a word, only watching Serena until, a few minutes later, she emerged, fully dressed, her hair neatly brushed back. Without hesitation, she hooked her fingers around his sleeve a
