Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife Chapter 123 : What do you think?
The crowd that had been eagerly watching the drama slowly dispersed, the tension in the air fading like a dissipating storm. To put on a show of sisterly affection, Victoria personally escorted Michelle to the car, ensuring that all eyes saw her as the graceful and understanding older cousin.Ava, however, remained rooted in place, her body instinctively tensing as Alexander approached. She wasn’t sure why, but she had an urge to step back. Yet, she forced herself to stand her ground, lifting her gaze to meet his. He loomed over her, his dark eyes locked onto hers as if searching for something.Her expression, however, was unreadable—calm, indifferent, as if last night's intimacy had been nothing more than a passing dream."Ava," he murmured, his voice low. There was something he wanted to say.Before he could continue, Victoria returned, her tone carefully measured, yet laced with subtle authority.“Xander, breakfast is ready downstairs. You guys probably haven't eaten yet. Let’s all

"Ava..." Rita expected her cousin to be upset, maybe even furious, but Ava's expression was unexpectedly calm—relieved, even."Rita, thank you, but I can ride with someone else. Mr. Vanderbilt is not in a good mood today, so I'd rather not make him angrier," Ava said, her voice light yet decisive.Rita frowned, puzzled. Why was Alexander in a bad mood? And why did Ava sound as though she had expected it? These two didn’t look like a couple who had spent the night together—if anything, they seemed even more distant than before.Meanwhile, across the venue, Alexander approached Hugo’s table with long, measured strides, his expression stormy. His suit, tailored to perfection, couldn't mask the tension in his shoulders or the sharp, unreadable look in his dark eyes.Victoria, however, didn't follow. She had veered off to chat with other socialites, her posture poised as if she had already won some silent battle.Hugo, who had been lazily swirling the whiskey in his glass, looked up with a

The studio was lively today, the hum of conversation blending with the rhythmic tapping of keyboards. Sunlight filtered through the large glass windows, casting soft golden patches on the polished wooden floors. The scent of fresh coffee from the break room lingered in the air, mingling with the faint traces of sawdust from the latest model prototypes.Kevin was seated at his usual spot near the drafting table, a pen lazily twirling between his fingers. His sharp eyes flickered with curiosity when Ava walked in. He arched an eyebrow, smirking. “What good deed have you done recently? Darby Construction suddenly became generous to our studio, giving us materials at the lowest price.”Ava set her bag down and rolled her shoulders, feeling the weight of the past few days pressing against her spine. “I negotiated a few terms with them last time, but that was only for Le Châteauesque Manor. I didn’t expect them to extend the same offer to the studio.”She recounted the construction mishap t

Dear Gentle Readers, Apologies for missing an update. Life has been pretty hectic. please enjoy...---------Serena’s expression darkened. Her grandparents were from Charleston, yet during her recent visits there, she had deliberately avoided them.The reason was simple—after her mother gave birth to her, her grandparents had never approved of her.In Charleston, tradition dictated that a newlywed daughter-in-law was to live with her husband’s family for a period of time. But Alfonso, Serena’s father, was the eldest son, and the favoritism in their family had always leaned toward his younger brother. Since childhood, Alfonso had been overlooked, enduring years of unfair treatment.After he married Elena, things only worsened. The day after their wedding, Alfonso and Elena were assigned a dilapidated room. Their first meal as a married couple wasn’t even a proper one—there was no rice, and they had to borrow it.Serena’s grandparents had disliked Elena from the very beginning. They ha

In the grand hall of the Morales estate, tension thickened the air as Josh strode in. His presence alone made Araminta’s back stiffen, her usual commanding demeanor dampened by caution.Josh had been in an increasingly foul mood these past few days, and everyone in the household tread lightly around him. Araminta wasn’t an exception.Her voice was hushed, careful. “Josh, did you do it?”Josh let out a sneering chuckle, his lips curling cruelly as he lowered himself into an armchair, his fingers drumming against the carved wooden armrest. “If she dares to step into the Morales family’s world, she should be prepared to be destroyed by me.”Araminta’s hands clenched in her lap, worry knitting her brows. Serena was still under the protection of Mr. Vanderbilt Sr. If anything serious happened to her, the old man would investigate, and with his power, uncovering the truth wouldn’t take long. Once that happened, Josh wouldn’t be the only one facing retribution—he would drag the entire Morale

(From here, Ava will be referred to as Ava, as Tom recognizes her as “Ava Alvarez,” Rachel’s best friend.)Outside the dimly lit bar, Tom lingered near the entrance, his hands casually tucked into the pockets of his borrowed waitstaff uniform. His tall frame and practiced nonchalance made him blend seamlessly with the nightlife atmosphere, yet there was a sharp calculation in his gaze. He had just received a call from Rachel, informing him that she was suddenly called home due to an emergency.Tom exhaled slowly, weighing his options. He wasn’t about to risk getting involved in Ava’s mess—especially not when there was nothing to gain. Avoid unnecessary trouble when there’s already enough going on, he reminded himself. Without another glance back, he turned on his heel and disappeared into the alleyway beside the bar, leaving behind the muffled sounds of laughter and clinking glasses. ---Meanwhile, inside the private room, Ava struggled to stay upri

Ava refused to sit back and do nothing, so she took the initiative to call Rachel, asking her to investigate the two men who had attempted to assault her. With the Rowell family's influence, they could dig into their backgrounds and figure out who was behind it.Rachel was furious. "I can't believe something so vile happened! Don’t worry, Ava. I’ll send someone to look into it right away. You just focus on resting at the hospital!"After hanging up, Ava barely had a moment to gather her thoughts before Michelle pushed open the door.Dressed in her usual high-end attire, Michelle exuded arrogance, her arms crossed as she leaned against the doorway. Her lips curled into a mocking sneer. "My cousin's husband will be here soon. You better start thinking about how to apologize to her."Ava found it amusing. She tilted her head and let out a soft chuckle. "It seems like you have the memory of a goldfish. Have you already forgotten why you’re in the hospital?"Michelle's face darkened with hu

Ava was unusually irritable that morning. The weight of unanswered questions and lingering suspicions pressed heavily on her chest. Just as she was about to try distracting herself, her phone rang. It was Rachel.Rachel’s voice was low, almost hesitant. "Ava, I checked on those two men. They've already left the country. We can’t catch them now."Ava’s grip on her phone tightened. Without them, there would be no direct proof linking Victoria to the incident. The trail had gone cold.She exhaled slowly, frustration bubbling beneath the surface. The entire situation was infuriating. The bar had been seedy, dark, and conveniently lacking surveillance cameras—almost as if it had been chosen for that very reason. No cameras, no witnesses. Just her word against Victoria’s, and that wasn’t enough.Ava rubbed her temples, willing herself to push the thoughts away, but sleep wouldn’t come. She lay in bed, tossing and turning, the night stretching endlessly before her.Finally, she gave up and g

Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 2nd * Chapter 175 : remain Serena’s
Ava exhaled, a breath that carried more than just air—it carried release, restraint, and something quietly defiant."It’s best if you don’t," she said softly, her gaze calm but unyielding. "Both Mr. Vanderbilt and I are people who can handle our affairs."The effect on Alexander was immediate. His face hardened, the sharp angles of his jaw tightening. His lips flattened into a cold, unreadable line, the warmth in his eyes vanishing like smoke in winter air.Ava noticed, but she didn’t flinch. Instead, she gave him a small, polite smile—so serene it bordered on dismissal."Mr. Vanderbilt, I really do have an urgent matter to attend to. I’ll be going now."Without waiting for his response, she shifted into drive and eased her car onto the road. Her hands were steady on the wheel, her posture composed. As if nothing had happened. As if the kiss they'd just shared hadn’t stirred a single breath in her chest.
Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 2nd * Chapter 174 : I think you’re... entertained
After slipping into the driver’s seat, Alexander gripped the steering wheel with ease and guided the car through the dimming city streets. The soft glow of the dashboard cast shadows across his sharp features, his mind somewhere far from the road.At a red light, another car rolled to a stop beside his. Out of habit, Alexander glanced over—and froze. Through the half-open window, framed by the city’s ambient glow, he saw her. Ava.She stared straight ahead, unaware of his gaze, her expression distant and unreadable. The shape of her face, the gentle curve of her mouth, the slight dip of her lashes—it all looked achingly familiar. He lowered his window and tapped the horn twice, sharp and deliberate.Inside the car, Ava flinched slightly, pulled from her thoughts. She turned her head—and for a heartbeat, time seemed to fracture. There was a strange pull in that moment—like a thread from another life. Maybe it was the streetlight, or maybe it was the letter still echoing in her mind: “
Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 2nd * Chapter 173 : With all the love I had,
As Ava drove through the quiet streets back to the Upper West Side, the city outside blurred behind the windshield. Rex sat quietly beside her, head resting on his paws. Just as she turned into her neighborhood, her phone buzzed with a call.“Miss Alvarez, good morning,” came a polite voice from a courier company. “We have a gift addressed to you, sent several years ago. It was scheduled specifically to arrive today. May I confirm your current address so we can deliver it?”Serena blinked. “A gift? From years ago?”“Yes, ma’am. It was pre-arranged for delivery on today’s date.”Still confused, she gave her address and ended the call.Not long after she got home and removed Rex’s leash, the doorbell rang. She opened it to find a deliveryman holding a wooden box—aged and worn, its corners smoothed by time. It was unlike any package she’d received before.After signing for it, she stood at the doorway for a moment, staring down at the box. She hadn’t ordered anything like this. But she h
Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 2nd * Chapter 172 : You should tell that to Alexander
On the other side of the town, upon being kicked out by Serena a few times, Sergio, consumed with envy over his brother Alfonso’s wealth and frustrated by his own sons’ unemployment, confided in his mother, Martina, that he suspected Serena wasn’t Alfonso’s biological daughter due to her alluring looks. Driven by malice, he secretly conducted a paternity test using Serena’s hair, believing that if she wasn’t truly Alfonso’s child—especially now with Araminta and Valentina disgraced and Josh incapacitated—his own sons could rightfully claim the Morales family fortune. When the results arrived confirming no biological link between Alfonso and Serena, Sergio, Martina, and Ricardo, thrilled by the opportunity, immediately set out to confront the Morales family.---It was midday at the Morales family estate, and the aroma of freshly prepared dishes lingered through the marble-floored hallways. The dining room was elegantly set—linen napkins folded precisely, silverware gleaming, and steam
Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 2nd * Chapter 171 : Lipstick
Ava Alvarez remained stranded on the top floor, her heels aching and her body weary. The elevator wouldn't budge without a keycard, and for privacy and security reasons, the stairwell doors were locked from the inside. Whoever designed this place clearly didn’t want anyone wandering up or down without clearance—and Alexander had clearly forgotten that detail when he left.She was quite literally forgotten there.With a resigned sigh, Ava pulled out her phone and tried calling Alexander. No answer. His phone had likely been on silent since he arrived at the rooftop lounge, drowning in the soft thrum of music, clinking glasses, and idle conversation.Hours passed.It wasn’t until nearly eleven, long after the event had ended, that Alexander finally checked his phone. Three missed calls. A single message.> [I don’t have a card…]There were no emojis, no exclamation marks—just plain text. But something about the simplicity made it worse. It read like quiet frustration. Like she had curled

Colton barely spared a glance at the chaos unraveling behind him. With a cool indifference that only years of elite breeding could cultivate, he stepped around Ava Alvarez, still on the ground, and disappeared into the nearby private room as if she were nothing more than a misplaced handbag.Ava knelt slowly, her trembling hands reaching for the scattered items Rachel had so carelessly stuffed into the gift box. The embarrassment crept up her spine like ice. She hadn’t even unwrapped the gift, let alone imagined its contents tumbling across polished marble for the world to see.Just as she reached for one of the smaller items—a sleek, suggestively shaped accessory—she heard Alexander Vanderbilt’s voice, cold and commanding.“Hugo, go inside.”Hugo’s chuckle was low and teasing as he passed them. “Oh boy, someone’s in for it now.”Now only Ava and Alexander remained in the corridor, the air heavy with unsaid words. One of the items had landed near Alexander's polished leather shoe, and

Meanwhile, Alexander had just touched down on foreign soil. The sleek wheels of the private jet had barely cooled before he was ushered into a waiting car—Victoria trailing a few steps behind.The sun was beginning to dip below the skyline, casting a golden hue over the glass buildings around them. But the warmth of the city didn’t seem to reach Victoria’s mood.The auction had been a disappointment.Those who had flown in from all over the world had come chasing one thing—a rumored masterpiece by the elusive Master Remington. The buzz had been relentless, the anticipation feverish. Collectors, curators, and connoisseurs all gathered under one roof, poised to outbid one another for a chance at owning a piece of immortality.But the pièce de résistance had never arrived.Instead, the organizers had presented a different set of paintings—fine works, certainly, but none carrying the master’s signature. Whispers swirled through the crowd: the Remington piece had already been given away. P
Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 2nd * Chapter 168 : Relax
Ava had just stepped out of the shower, the steam still curling around her from the bathroom. Wrapped in soft pajamas and with her damp hair towel-dried and tousled, she was about to unwind for the evening when a message lit up her phone.It was from the property management office:“Dear resident, we’ve prepared a small gift for you. Please collect it in the underground garage.”It wasn’t unusual in this kind of upscale community. Services like this—holiday gifts, complimentary deliveries—were standard perks. She assumed it was another seasonal gesture and didn’t think much of it.She threw on a light cardigan over her pajamas and slipped into house slippers. There was no need to dress up just to walk through her own building. The community was secure, and the garage private—no one would bat an eye.The garage, however, was packed.Dimly lit rows of polished luxury vehicles stretched in every direction. She stepped carefully between them, the click of her slippers echoing softly. As s

Alexander sat at his sleek glass desk, a shaft of afternoon light slanting across the surface. His fingers moved with precision as he reviewed the final pages of a thick document. With a quiet finality, he pushed the folder forward.Jonathan, ever efficient, stepped forward to take it, bowing his head slightly in acknowledgment. As he turned to leave, the door opened and another figure appeared.Victoria.She stopped short, clearly startled to find Alexander at the office today—especially considering he had been at the hotel earlier. And it was Saturday.Recovering quickly, she walked in with her usual grace, her heels tapping softly against the polished floor."Alexander," she began, her tone casual but calculated, "news just came in from Spain. Master Remington’s painting is officially going up for auction. Everyone’s flying in for it this week—even Colton’s confirmed his attendance. When are you planning to leave?"She studied his face as she spoke, carefully watching for a flicker
