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 the Reinaldi family, heiress of one of Italy’s most powerful dynasties, a family with threads of influence tangled deep within the European royal houses.

Without slowing his stride, Alexander retrieved his phone, exchanged a few clipped words with the senior executives still lingering nearby, and started for the hotel lobby.

Chiara trailed after him, her voice lilting and sweet.

“Honey, my mother would like to meet you. Are you free the day after tomorrow?”

  • Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife   * 2nd * Chapter 287 : Impressive. Beautiful. Very… compelling.

    All eyes locked on Serena, the collective assumption being that she wouldn’t dare to take a step forward.In the glittering hierarchy of high society, Serena Morales was a ghost—someone whose name would have never been uttered in these circles if not for her association with Alexander Vanderbilt. Now, curiosity sharpened into mockery. Whispered jabs and sidelong smirks passed through the crowd like ripples in still water.Wes, standing near the edge of the room, felt a spike of unease. But then, to his surprise—and the shock of everyone else—Serena began walking toward the stage.Gasps flitted through the audience. A few mouths fell open in disbelief. Was she insane? Going up there now, unprepared, would be nothing short of public suicide.Serena, however, seemed unfazed.She wasn’t dressed for spectacle—no sequined gown or artful train. Her attire tonight was clean, simple, tailored for business rather than vanity, a stark contrast to Beatrice Whitehall’s dazzling ensemble that glitt

    Back at Le Châteauesque Manor, the quiet of the evening was broken only by the soft shuffle of paws on polished marble. Rex, her loyal golden retriever, kept nudging Serena’s feet with his nose, a silent plea for attention. But Serena wasn’t in the mood for games. Her gaze was fixed on the stack of documents before her—though they were upside down, and she hadn’t even noticed.Across the room, the glow of her computer screen spilled across the desk. A headline blinked on the news feed: Vanderbilt Group and Vortex Automotive Group Seal Landmark Partnership.Serena’s eyes narrowed slightly. Alexander Vanderbilt—CEO of the Vanderbilt Group, financial prodigy hailed by both Wall Street and Silicon Valley—was clearly playing his next move. But what exactly was his endgame?A notification popped up. An interview clip had just been released—Alexander in Italy, speaking to a well-known journalist.The video loaded, and there he was: perfectly tailored suit, posture straight as if the chair ha

    Back at the hotel, Serena felt her body giving out. A dull, throbbing dizziness clouded her vision, and the thought of catching her next flight only deepened her fatigue. She tossed her bag onto the chair, rubbed her temples, and tried to shake off the heaviness pressing behind her eyes.While waiting to board, she distracted herself by scrolling through the news from Italy.One headline in particular caught her eye—Alexander Vanderbilt had just signed a high-profile betting agreement with the owner of Vortex Automotive Group. The event had taken place at one of the most opulent hotels in the country, and a few leaked photos had begun making the rounds online.In one of them, Serena noticed a faint, slender figure lingering near the cluster of suited executives. It was barely visible—like a ghost at the edge of the scene—but it was enough to make her thumb pause mid-scroll. Her eyes narrowed slightly before she locked her phone, slipping it into her bag without another glance.By the

Meanwhile, in the dim, stale air of a high-end hotel suite, Marilyn lay crumpled on the plush carpet, her cheek pressed against its cold fibers. The faint scent of cologne and expensive whiskey lingered in the room, mingling with the metallic tang of her own bitten lip.Her body felt like it had been taken apart piece by piece and put back together wrong—aching joints, bruised skin, a raw heaviness in her limbs. She had numbed herself with medication beforehand, knowing she wouldn’t survive the night otherwise. Being with a man like him was not something one could endure sober.The man lounged on the bed, his toned frame propped casually against the headboard, eyes fixed on her with an expression that was more disdain than satisfaction. After a long silence, hi

  • Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife   * 2nd * Chapter 282 : He’s not cut out to run Vanderbilt Group anymore.

    The news hit the business world like a thunderclap—Vortex Automotive Group was teaming up with Atlas Ventures.For years, the man behind Vortex had been an untouchable figure, the kind of boss who rarely appeared in public and whose moves were nearly impossible to predict. Whenever Vortex had worked with Atlas in the past, the partnerships burned bright but brief, never lasting more than six months.But now? This wasn’t just another collaboration. This was a gamble that could redefine both companies’ futures.If Alexander Vanderbilt pulled this off, the Vanderbilt Group’s profits would soar—possibly eclipsing anything Cornelius had ever achieved in his prime. But the stakes were brutal.Vortex was going all in. They’d set the bar: if Alexander could secure five percent of their shares, he’d win. If not, he’d lose big. And not just money—he was wagering the company itself.To most people, the deal sounded insane. Even reckless. Yet Alexander had agreed without hesitation.It was the ki
