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

  • Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife   * 2nd * Chapter 275 : My husband’s no good in bed,

    Inside the softly lit hospital room, the scent of antiseptic clung to the air like static. Simon lay back against the pillow, his right arm in a cast, propped carefully on a cushion. The pale blue sheets were rumpled from Whitney’s restless movements. She had been crying non-stop for nearly two hours.“Simon, it’s all my fault. I’m so sorry,” Whitney sniffled, her voice cracking.Simon winced—not from the pain in his arm, but from the relentless pressure in his head. Her sobs had drilled into his skull like a slow, aching pulse since the moment she stepped in.“It’s nothing,” he murmured, trying to sound dismissive, but the tightness in his jaw betrayed his discomfort.Whitney shook her head and climbed onto the edge of the bed, unable to hold back. In a surge of emotion, she flung herself into his chest. Her arms wrapped around him with desperate familiarity, and he stiffened instantly.Her soft curves pressed awkwardly against his torso, and the heat from her body seeped through the

    "The painting is done, Grandpa. Would you like to see it?"Cornelius Vanderbilt looked up from his recliner, a soft smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. “No need,” he said, waving his hand lightly. “Let’s go downstairs and admire the flowers. The garden’s in full bloom.”Outside, spring had unfurled her colors in full glory. The garden, meticulously kept and bursting with vibrant tulips, hyacinths, and peonies, was alive with bees humming and petals dancing in the breeze. At his age, Cornelius found simple joys in nature—in the warm sun, the scent of fresh blooms, and the tranquility of growing things. It brought him peace.Serena nodded with a smile. “Alright, let’s go.”As she moved toward the stairs, Alexander followed silently behind her like a shadow. Cornelius’s gaze flickered toward him, brows twitching with a mixture of amusement and irritation. He opened his mouth, intending to poke fun at Alexander’s brazen presence—after all, the invitation had been for Serena, not hi

    The atmosphere in the car was heavy with unspoken tension.Serena sat silently in the back seat, her eyes fixed on her phone. She hadn’t said a word since they got in. Jonathan drove up front, quiet as always, while Alexander sat beside her, their legs barely brushing—yet the warmth of that subtle contact radiated through the thin fabric of her trousers like a live wire.Outside, the city lights flickered past the windows, casting soft, shifting shadows that played across Serena’s face. The dim interior of the car only amplified the contrast between her stillness and the occasional flicker of emotion that crossed her features.Ten minutes passed.She hadn’t even looked his way once.Alexander’s initial frustration gradually morphed into helplessness. He studied her profile—the tight line of her lips, the way her hand rested on her knee, her posture slightly rigid. She looked as though she were lost in thought, weary from whatever had burdened her day. Her eyes eventually fluttered clos

    At the same time, Serena remained completely unaware that the actress Whitney had slapped on set belonged to the powerful Whitehall family. She had tried calling Whitney several times, but each call went unanswered. Whitney was clearly sulking, refusing to engage.Left with no choice, Serena dialed her agent instead.The young woman on the other end answered with a trembling voice, fully aware of Serena’s status. “Ms. Morales…”“Where is she?” Serena asked calmly, though her voice carried a steely edge. “What’s Whitney doing right now?”“She’s… sleeping,” the agent said hesitantly. “I knocked on her door a few times, but she wouldn’t open it.”“As her agent, you should at least know why she hit someone,” Serena said, her voice still cool but pressing.The girl let out a breath, then confessed, “Yes, I know. The director suddenly brought in a new second female lead—without informing us—and made Whitney reshoot an entire sequence. It was that slap scene. The new actress had to slap Whit

    When Serena woke, the morning had long since slipped away—her phone glowed with the time: 10:17 a.m.Her head pounded like a distant drum, her limbs heavy and sluggish. As she slowly sat up, a wave of dizziness washed over her. Shivering slightly, she groped for her nightstand and downed a dose of cold medicine. The moment she tried to descend the stairs, her legs buckled, and she nearly collapsed.Aunt Torres, hearing the noise, rushed over from the kitchen. Her eyes widened in concern as she reached out and touched Serena’s forehead. “Ms. Morales, you’re burning up. Just cold medicine won’t be enough. You need to take something for the fever too.”Serena nodded weakly, her voice barely above a whisper. “I’ll be fine. I’ll just go in later—”Before she could finish, her phone buzzed on the counter. The caller ID flashed: Marilyn.She answered immediately. “What’s wrong?”“Ms. Morales,” Marilyn’s voice came through in a panic, “something’s happened to Whitney!”That jolted Serena more

    Alexander had already arrived.His bodyguards had sealed off the entire perimeter—a crumbling two-story building in one of New York City's grimiest slums. The structure looked abandoned at first glance, with paint peeling off the walls and boarded-up windows barely holding back the gloom inside. But a closer inspection revealed something far more disturbing.The inside was a disaster zone.Bloodstains marred the cracked plaster walls, mixing with grime and streaks of dried animal waste. It looked more like a crime scene than anything else. The air was thick with the stench of decay, sweat, and fear.This wasn’t their first operation—these dog thieves were professionals in cruelty. They had crammed the latest batch of stolen dogs into a single rusted cage, piled together like trash. The cage reeked of uncleaned filth—clotted blood, rotting kibble, and excrement.Among the terrified dogs were several clear purebreds—pampered pets recently lost or snatched. There were mutts too, strays l
