The launch day was finally here. Axel, Knox, and Sophia had barely slept the past few days, working nonstop to make sure everything was perfect. And now, against all odds, the launch was happening, right on time.

A long-sleeved silver sequin dress sat on my body like it was tailored for me alone, paired with matching silver heels. My makeup was soft yet alluring, just enough to make a statement without stealing the spotlight.

In less than an hour, the event hall was packed.

A hundred guests, e

  • Bound to my Ex-husband's Deadly Rival    Chapter 55 She's stable

    I swiftly lifted her off the ground, running as fast as my legs could carry as I went straight to the car, driving like a mad man across the road.I kept turning to look at her, I didn't even have the time to check her pulse.I've never been the religious type, but I found myself praying to whichever God was listening to save her.I threw the hospital doors open, yelling for a doctor as they brought out a stretcher and wheeled her into the emergency room.My legs couldn't stop moving as I paced back and forth, outside the room she was in, trying to figure out what was going on, hoping the doctors could give me something tangible as a bone chilling fear settled in my chest.“Axel!” Knox called out from behind me, as he hurried to where I was standing. “What's going on? What happened to Elara?” He asked, placing his hands on my shoulders, steadying me in place.“Sh…she…I…I found her on the floor and she wasn't mov...she was unconscious,” I forced the words out, hands shaking uncontrolla

  • Bound to my Ex-husband's Deadly Rival    Chapter 54 I want to come too

    “You'll go to him right?” I asked, my voice firmer than intended.“Yes,” he said without hesitation.“I want to come too.”“No baby,” he murmured, his tone unwavering, as he leaned closer to me, “it's not safe, we don't know the kind of person he is and it's best you stay home.”I wanted to object, but I just let it go. He'll give me a debrief when he gets back anyways. After Axel left the house with Knox, I stayed in the bathtub for a short while, before getting out and changing into something comfy.I scrolled through my phone, my eyes getting stuck on Cyrus' last message to me. Since that day at my office, we haven't really talked, and it was just like he was avoiding me.His reaction that day made me scared at first, but I honestly don't think he meant any harm. He wasn't getting along with Axel really well and he's just trying to look out for me.I dialed his number, waiting patiently to see if he would pick up as I walked back to the kitchen to get another glass of juice. For

  • Bound to my Ex-husband's Deadly Rival    Chapter 53 She could have walked in on us

    I threw my head back, completely overwhelmed by the feeling of his warm mouth, devouring my p*ssy, sucking and licking with a desperate hunger.His movement was so rough and hot, igniting my arousal even more.His tongue snaked its way deep into my pussy, and he suckled, stroking it in and out as I moved my waist closer to his face, spreading my legs even farther, my body aching for more.His lips pressed hard against my heat and he replaced his tongue with his two index fingers, pushing it deep inside my pussy, as my inner walls contracted against his fingers.“Ughhhhhh,” I moaned, my legs threatening to close shut but he spread it even wider. He pumped his fingers in and out of my throbbing core, fast, hard and rough, increasing the fire burning under my skin as my legs shook, unable to contain the pleasure, my eyes rolling to the back of my head.My heart skipped the second a knock echoed through the room, and my eyes flew open, shooting to the door. But Axel didn’t stop. He kept

  • Bound to my Ex-husband's Deadly Rival    Chapter 52 I regret my actions

    I was silent throughout the entire car ride home, my mind was a complete mess, seeing Dorian talk to me in that tone, I wanted to believe he was just faking it, but I could see in his eyes how genuine he was and it was making me question everything.I covered my face with both hands and exhaled slowly, fighting the urge to scream.My life just kept getting weirder and more complicated by the second.I couldn't wait to get home, and soak myself in a warm bath, with a full bottle of wine.*****The house was unusually silent when I got back, Rachel's Maybach was still parked outside so I knew she was in.I took a deep breath, preparing myself mentally for her drama as I walked into the house.I asked the driver to take my things upstairs and went straight to the kitchen to get a glass of juice.“Hey baby,” Axel called out as he walked into the kitchen, Gwen following closely behind him.Weird.“Hiiiiii,” I smiled, hugging him from the side. “You want some?” I asked, waving a glass at hi

  • Bound to my Ex-husband's Deadly Rival    Chapter 51 Don't you dare

    *****AXEL's POV *****The second Elara left the house, I headed straight for Gwen’s room and slammed the door open as I walked in, my presence alone enough to drain the air from the space.Gwen's face lit up the moment she saw me.Rachel sat beside her, arms crossed defensively.“Whatever happened to knocking?” She snickered, scanning me from head to toe.Gwen stood up, walking towards me, “Hello Axel…”“Don't you fucking say another word!!” I growled, cutting her short.“What's wrong,” she asked, acting concerned, if I didn't know any better I would think she cared.“You're going to take down that post right now,” I commanded, voice low and lethal.“Axel you're smart enough to know that's pointless, so many blogs already took up the story, it wouldn't make any difference if I took it down,” she rolled her eyes.She was right, reputation damage from the media was one of the most difficult things to manage, especially one to this extent.“I did nothing wrong, everything I said in tha

  • Bound to my Ex-husband's Deadly Rival    Chapter 50 Restraining order

    I was completely stunned Dorian's being released?How was that even possible?“Even with the tons of evidence we gave to the FDI?”“He was given an option for a nine hundred million dollar bail if he pleads guilty,” Axel spoke with a calm resolve, and I could immediately tell he was actively plotting.“So he pleaded guilty and made the bail?”That amount was a lot, especially for someone who had all his assets frozen, it was absolutely shocking to know he was still able to get that kind of money.“Yes, he's being released right now.”My skin crawled, fear creeping up my spine, this wasn't the plan, this wasn't supposed to happen. “Axel what are we going to do, he's going to come for me,” my voice shook, entire body trembling in anxiety.“I won't let him touch a hair on your head,” Axel said firmly, taking my hand in his.“He is a snake and you know that, no matter what you do, he'll get to me if he tries hard enough,” I said.“Not if I do this my way,” he responded, looking straight

    “Nothing,” I whispered, my voice trembling against the heat between us.The rhythm of my heartbeat sped up as his fingers brushed over my lips, grazing them like a delicate treasure, his eyes locked onto them with a hunger that made my knees weak, and before I could even breathe another word, his l

    He turned towards me as I stepped in, he looked like he'd been having a conversation with Knox.“I'm sorry,” my voice barely above a whisper.He didn't react, his expression unreadable.“I…I…I wasn't thinking,” I said.But his expression didn't change.I took a step forward and he finally spoke.“G

    Axel is unbelievable!I can't believe he sent me that massive bouquet just so he could outdo Cyrus.“Axel Thorne, you are something,” I giggled. He wasn't home, so I took out my phone to send him a thank you text when Cyrus' message popped up on my screen.It was an attachment, a picture of Axel's

    “You had to see the look on his face, like he had seen a ghost,” I screamed, laughing in excitement as I climbed the stairs to my room, my heels in one hand as Axel followed behind me.“Did you see him? did you see the horror written all over his face the moment he spotted you?” I turned to Axel, s
