Alexis.

If someone had told me a year ago that I’d be sitting at a dinner table with mafia kings in a see-through lace dress, no less. I would’ve laughed, poured another glass of wine, and called them stupid.

Yet here I was.

The long mahogany dining table stretched out like something out of a classic Italian film. I wonder how much it cost, maybe billions. Even as the air conditioner hummed softly, I was melting from the inside out.

The men were engrossed in something about luxury car impo

  • Divorced By My Ex, Married To A Billionaire.   Chapter 78

    Pierce.I stared at the fresh graves. I didn’t care about them. I walked past my mother’s and uncle’s resting places without a glance.Instead, I made my way to my father’s and grandfather’s graves.I didn’t want my men near me. I just wanted to sit here and feel nothing.The marble was cold beneath me as I traced the golden letters. Sir Daniel Carter.The man my uncle murdered by crashing his plane. The same way I took his life by shooting his plane down without blinking. An eye for an eye.I warned him when I told him I wasn’t my father who, was way too forgiving. He thought I was bluffing. The clouds groaned overhead before the rain fell, pounding and drenching me to the bone. But I didn’t feel it.I spoke to the man beneath me or maybe to myself.“I’m the only Carter left, Dad. I did it. I got rid of them. Both of them.” I flicked my eyes toward my mother’s grave.“I don’t know if I shoul

    Alexis I wanted to restart my life.Not because I wasn’t grateful for what I’d been given. But I needed something that was mine. Like my own business.Practice law, no thanks. After what happened with my last relationship. I couldn’t stand the thought of stepping back into that world.Maybe something simple that would make me happy.A café with Sierra sounded perfect.We’d been scouting locations all week. A cozy little spot facing a calm, busy neighborhood. The kind of place where people lingered over coffee and gossip.“What about this place? It looks so cozy,” Sierra grinned as we sat at dinner, scrolling through listings.I glanced at the screen. It had big windows, decent foot traffic, and a cute little patio.“I like it. Find out what the rent is. We’ll take it.”I said. “Yay,” she squealed excitedly. While she went to shower, I did the dishes, humming to myself.The doorbell rang, my heart skipped. Every time it went off, I hoped it was him.The house was massive, maybe too b

    Alexis.The funeral was too formal.Media cameras clicked everywhere, flashing like this was some goddamn red carpet. Strangers hovered around, whispering and sobbing. Some woman I didn’t recognize bawled harder than anyone.I didn’t care because I wasn’t here to mourn that b!tch. I was here to look fashionably happy she's dead. My black Alexander McQueen dress fit perfectly. It had a high neck and long sleeves. The Christian Louboutins clicked softly as I walked. Sierra went with a simple pencil skirt, fitting dark top and Ray-Bans that gave her that, don’t mess with me edge.Paparazzi lenses flicked toward us. They better get my angles right. Flashes came in one after the other, you'd think it's the MET with Sierra and I as the guests.Inside the chapel, people already settled. At the front, two caskets rested side by side. One black and the other brown, both closed. Photos of Marissa and Luciano framed them. T

    Alexis.When I came to, everything was blurry.My nose and mouth is covered with an oxygen mask. The ambulance rocks beneath me, sirens wailing somewhere in the distance. A nun leans over me, gently buckling the straps across my aching body. Her touch is gentle but every nerve screams in protest.I blink hard, trying to clear my vision.Outside the open ambulance doors I see Pierce .He’s standing a few feet away, lifting something small and round almost like a soccer ball by its hair. There's Maxwell, wait a damn minute is that a samurai sword?! I squint my open eye, but can't make out much. My eye flutters, and the pull of exhaustion drags me back under.Nero’s face comes into focus as he leans over me.“Hey, you’re awake. How’re you holding up?”His voice is soft. “Like I got hit by a bus. Twice,” I rasp. My throat feels like sandpaper.I shift, pain jolting through every inch of me.

    Pierce. We split the second we storm into the compound. Nero, Zane, and I take the east side. Juarez, Max, and Leo sweep the west. The place has massive rooms, halls, and more doors than I can count. But I don’t care. I’m not here to clear rooms but to kill. Anyone in my way breathing that doesn’t belong to us gets a bullet. I don’t aim to wound. I aim to end them, painfully slow. Nero kicks one door after another. Zane covering his back. My blood’s boiling, my vision is pulsing. Nero slams his foot into the last door harder than the others. It flies open. The sight inside freezes me to the fucking ground. Luna is standing on a chair, her tiny arms holding up Alexis’s limp body. Her head tilted, skin pale, face so swollen and bruised I barely recognize her. Sierra lies on the floor unconscious. Fuck No! “Help us…” Luna sobs, tears s

    Alexis.Blood fills my mouth. It's warm, metallic tasting and thick. How do vampires enjoy this? I spit it out, coughing as my head throbs like it’s been split open. My vision blurs, but I manage to lift it slowly until my eyes land on Marissa.“Wake up, you stupid slut,” she barks.It takes me a second to register the weight pulling at my arms. My wrists are bound. Rope digs into my skin. My legs won’t move as I’m tied to a chair.I scan the room, and my heart shatters. In the corner, Sierra is curled protectively around Luna, shielding and rocking her. They’re both shaking. Luna’s tiny face is hidden, and Sierra's frozen, just like she always gets when fear takes overBut even as she's trembling she’s got enough strength to keep my little sister’s eyes away from this nightmare.I hate seeing her like that. It should’ve been just me.“If it’s me you wanted, there was no need to bring them,” I say, spittin

    Pierce I was in the middle of something important, probably world domination or something equally crucial when Alexis stormed into my space with the fury of a woman scorned. "You changed my Nolan chat voice to yours," she accused, eyes narrowed like she was ready to skin me alive. I barely spa

    Alexis.I frowned, watching as the doctor drew my blood. I still didn't understand why my mother-in-law had dragged me here. Sure, I had a bruise on my lip, but was that really a reason to rush me to the hospital? And even stranger… no one had asked me about it. The doctors just took my blood sam

    Alexis.I glared at the tiny pink rose toy on my nightstand, feeling both excited and frustrated. I'd ordered it right after Sierra left, and thanks to the privileges of wealth, it had arrived shockingly fast. Being rich apparently came with same day delivery. I sighed, my fingers brushing ov

    Alexis .One of the maids entered, gracefully placing a tray of snacks and milkshakes on the coffee table before bowing slightly and leaving. Still, my eyes followed her shadow as it paused behind the door then shortly disappeared beyond the doorway. Pierce was right. His mother had planted
