Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife Chapter 34: Your designer is... quite something
Michael pondered as he hesitated as he considered his next move. His last bet in the last round of one hundred million loomed in his mind, a weighty reminder of what he had already risked. The murmurs from the onlookers didn’t help either —they only fueled his growing uncertainty.His gaze darted to Serena, searching for a clue, a weakness, anything to justify his next decision.But Serena remained maddeningly calm. Her face was unreadable, her posture steady. When she noticed his gaze, she turned her head slightly, her expression serene, and asked, “Mr. Murray, the last round, no?”Her voice was casual, almost indifferent, but the implication was clear: if he folded, the money in the pot would be hers. She wasn’t taunting him; she was stating a simple truth. But to Michael whose heart was already in turmoil at the moment, it felt like a deliberate provocation, as if she was purposedly taunting him. It wasn’t about the money— the eight hundred million was a drop in the bucket for him

The two billion chips she had won sat neatly stacked on the table. Her calm demeanor, even after such a shocking win, caught everyone’s attention. Most people would be reveling in their triumph, yet here she was, poised and focused on her word.Hugo hesitated. Letting go of a billion dollars so easily wasn’t something even the wealthiest people did. Did she really value a promise more than the money?But Hugo knew the dangers Serena had likely foreseen. Winning such a large sum as a newcomer, and a woman no less, would inevitably attract trouble. Her way back home could be unsafe. By giving away the winnings, she was transferring that burden—and it also allowed her to leave the table with her dignity intact.Finally, Hugo accepted the chips with a complicated expression. He turned to Alexander, patting him lightly on the shoulder. "Married people. Isn’t it about time to go home?"Hugo emphasized the words "married people," glancing briefly at Serena as she returned to her seat. He see

In all honesty, Alexander didn’t know how to respond.It wasn’t as if he hadn’t received admiration before, but this time it was different. The woman in front of him wasn’t just anyone; she was someone he had shared an intimate moment with. Though he had had relationships before, that kind of closeness made it impossible to treat her like a stranger.Now, this same woman seemed to be showing feelings for him. Rejecting her like he did others felt unnecessarily cruel, and he hesitated before speaking."You know I’m married, right?" he said, his tone even.Serena raised her eyebrows slightly, confused. Of course, she knew he was married. Wasn’t their conversation supposed to be about the layout of the project?Alexander caught her puzzled expression, and a faint awkwardness crept into his chest. He continued, "Actually, my wife and I are... very much in love."The word “wife” tasted foreign in his mouth, and the phrase “in love” was even more awkward. It felt so unnatural that he had to

Serena froze in place when she heard the voice behind her. Turning around, she saw Raphael’s mother, Diana Montague Richardson.Diana, dressed in an impeccably tailored suit and carrying a Hermès bag, radiated elegance and authority. Her sharp eyes immediately landed on the redness of Serena’s cheek, her expression darkening."Who hit you? Did you and Raphael have a fight?" Diana asked, her voice laced with concern and barely concealed anger.Serena felt her chest tighten. The events of the evening had already left her emotionally drained, and now standing face-to-face with Diana only added to her anxiety.Should she confess everything now? Should she reveal the truth about her and Raphael’s fake relationship? The longer this went on, the harder it would be to explain later.“Ms. Richardson, actually, I—” Serena began hesitantly.Before she could finish, Diana grabbed her hand. “Come with me.”She led Serena down the hallway with an air of authority that brooked no refusal. They stopp

Serena’s body burned with an unusual heat, a relentless warmth that crawled over her skin and seeped into her bones. She wondered if it was the aftermath of being thrown into the pool earlier, her damp clothes now causing a feverish chill. But this was different—intense and unyielding. Her throat was parched, and she desperately needed water.After searching the room to no avail, she grabbed her key card and stepped into the hallway. Each step felt heavier, her vision blurring as a strange sensation clouded her senses.Her thoughts jumbled, Serena stumbled forward, catching the faint touch of a cool breeze. It seemed to come from an open balcony nearby, promising relief from the sweltering heat. Drawn to it, she pushed the door open, stepping into the small, secluded space.A sharp, refreshing scent met her nose, momentarily cutting through the haze clouding her mind. Her eyes landed on a man seated in the shadows, his posture composed, yet commanding. He was effortlessly handsome—his

After a long day at work, Serena headed straight home. As she approached the door, an unfamiliar tension gripped her. The door, which should have been securely shut, was ajar. She froze in the doorway, her heart racing, but quickly regained her composure. Cautiously, she pushed the door open.Her apartment was in disarray, as though a burglar had ransacked it. The bedroom door was slightly cracked, but Serena hesitated to enter. Her first instinct was to call the police. She did so immediately, her hands trembling as she relayed the situation.When the officers arrived, they carefully examined the apartment. Serena followed them, and though she was relieved to find that nothing appeared to be missing, a gnawing unease settled in. It was clear the apartment was no longer safe. What if the next intruder decided to strike while she was inside? The thought of it chilled her. The reality of living alone, vulnerable in her own space, was too overwhelming to ignore.She quickly packed a few

Serena had no idea that her name had been tossed around and twisted by Patty. In the soft glow of the late afternoon sun, she stood in the yard with a frisbee in hand. With a flick of her wrist, she sent it soaring across the lawn. Rex, her energetic German Shepherd, sprinted after it, caught it mid-air with ease, and returned, dropping it proudly at her feet.Serena smiled, kneeling to pat his head. "Good boy, Rex," she murmured. Tossing the frisbee again, her peaceful moment was suddenly interrupted.A sharp bark from Rex turned into a bounding leap. "Rex, no! Come back!" Serena shouted, alarmed. But Rex had already launched himself, paws first, onto an unexpected guest.“Ah!” A high-pitched cry of surprise rang out.Serena turned to see Cordelia Vanderbilt standing stiffly, her crisp white pants now adorned with muddy paw prints. Her perfectly sculpted brow furrowed in annoyance.Cordelia rarely visited unannounced, and Serena certainly hadn’t expected her today.“What kind of dog

Rachel wasted no time and sent Serena a list of property listings the next morning. She even arranged for a professional real estate agent to accompany her. Serena set the appointment for 11 a.m. After spending some time playing fetch with Rex in the yard, she prepared to head out.The real estate agent greeted her warmly. "Miss Morales, this area is quiet, with a mix of townhouses and villas. It has a low population density, great amenities, and a serene environment—perfect for young professionals like yourself."As they toured the property, Serena noticed another agent leading a couple nearby. Her heart skipped a beat when she realized it was Alfonso and Araminta.They hadn’t noticed her yet, but Araminta’s voice carried across the quiet courtyard."Josh wants to live in a villa,” Araminta said, her tone laced with pride. “There’s one here for fourteen million. He’s interested, so I brought Alfonso to take a look."Alfonso, ever the doting husband, smiled indulgently. "If he likes i

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 curle

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

Ava shot upright in bed, her heart thudding as her eyes scanned the breaking news headlines on her phone.Ryan Kuzmin Detained in International Crime Probe—PW Group Offices Raided.Details unfolded line by line like a script in a legal thriller. Ryan had been arrested on suspicion of overseas criminal activity. That morning, the authorities had swept through PW Group’s towering headquarters, raiding offices and seizing documents. The scandal was larger than anyone had anticipated.Further investigations revealed damning evidence: years of tax evasion, vast embezzlement schemes, and a tightly knit circle of executives siphoning company funds for personal gain.The outcome was swift—and brutal.PW Group had been slammed with devastating penalties. Their bank accounts frozen. Assets forcibly liquidated. Half their senior executives were already behind bars.And Ryan? He now faced the terrifying possibility of a twenty-year prison sentence.All of it—undeniably—was Alexander’s doing.With
Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 2nd * Chapter 165 : He was enjoying you
Ava was completely drained. Every inch of her body ached as if she’d been taken apart and reassembled—twice.Alexander Vanderbilt, she thought bitterly, was not someone an ordinary woman could keep up with.She was still lying in bed, limbs heavy and muscles sore, when her phone lit up. The name Rachel flashed on the screen.Ava groaned internally but forced herself upright and answered the call."Ava! I brought something up for you—I’m downstairs and on my way up!" Rachel's cheerful voice burst through the speaker.Snapping out of her haze, Ava quickly sprang to her feet and checked her reflection in the bedroom mirror. She smoothed her dress, adjusted her hair, and ensured nothing about her appearance betrayed her disheveled morning. With a small breath of relief, she stepped back just as the doorbell rang.She hurried over and pulled open the door.Rachel stood there glowing in high-waisted designer jeans and a black camisole with delicate lace sleeves hugging her arms. Her outfit
Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 2nd * Chapter 164 : Eight more times...
Alexander rose from his chair and made his way toward the bedroom.The room was a blend of understated elegance and quiet opulence—decorated with muted colors, gilded moldings, and a custom-made European-style bed that looked as though it belonged in a palace. A long row of mahogany cabinets lined one wall, their polished surfaces gleaming under the soft light.An air of subtle luxury hung over everything, understated yet unmistakable.Alexander opened one of the cabinet doors. The scent of expensive wood polish and crisp linen filled the space. Neatly arranged inside were rows of impeccably pressed suits—his armor for the world outside.But tucked beneath them, nearly hidden among the shadows, sat a beautiful woman.Ava.She was curled up against the side of the closet, her knees drawn tightly to her chest, wrapped in nothing but his oversized white shirt. Her bare feet were tucked under her, her shoes hastily kicked somewhere under the bed in her rush to hide.For a long moment, nei
Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 2nd * Chapter 163 : I have business to handle
Alexander leaned in, brushing his lips against Ava’s earlobe—a whisper of a kiss, soft and lingering like a lover’s secret murmur.Ava stiffened slightly, unaccustomed to this kind of closeness.In truth, she had never been this intimately connected with anyone before. The sensation of his warm breath against her sensitive skin felt almost foreign, startling.Despite her naturally cool and reserved demeanor, her body betrayed her easily. A soft pink hue blossomed across her cheeks, spreading down her neck, making her look even more delicate under the sunlight.Without daring to meet his gaze, Ava slipped away, heading toward the bathroom, still dressed in his oversized white shirt.Alexander watched her go, his dark eyes trailing her graceful movements. He never would have imagined that his stiff, formal shirt could look so sinfully beautiful draped over a woman’s body.She was the very picture of effortless allure—elegant, yet undeniably tempting.Inside the bathroom, Ava quickly spo
