Pierce.

Getting any work done that evening was a lost cause. My brain, ever the traitor, kept circling back to Alexis. The living migraine who had somehow taken up permanent residence in my thoughts, like she was paying rent on the space.

When she walked out of the bathroom earlier, wrapped in that damn towel, something about her silhouette triggered a memory I hadn't visited in days. That girl by the river. No… it couldn’t be her. Could it?

I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my temples. T

  • Divorced By My Ex, Married To A Billionaire.   Chapter 77

    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 didn’t think about it at the time. My mind was a mess after that day but now, I realize I ignored something very important.Zane tossed a folder onto the table from his briefcase. “Since things didn't make much sense that day, especially on the security detail. I ran background checks on Alexis’s two bodyguards and the agency they work for.” He said. I flipped it open. Before hiring them I got them from an agency with a good reputation. If only I dug deep The name at the top hit me like a punch to the ribs.Wayne mother fucking Bellows.Political financier, Motorcycle club leader and my mother’s lover. The senator isn't the only one who is vying to be my step dad. Mother loves being promiscuous. Wayne is a long-time snake with a personal security agency they worked for?” Zane tapped the file. “Proxy company. Wayne’s fingerprints all over it.”I closed my eyes, and threw the books

    Alexis.It’s been two long gut feeling wrenching days since Pierce walked out that door and didn’t come back after that night. No calls or texts from him. He vanished like smoke, and it’s k!lling me.I try to act normal. I laugh with Sierra, cook, clean and folded clothes on repeat. But every time

    Alexis ."Hey, do you have any birth control pills?" I asked.Sierra , who had been scrolling through her phone, didn't even look up. "Yeah, I always keep some. Why?" I hesitated for a fraction of a second before answering. "I, uh… accidentally threw mine away." That got her attention. She slow

    Pierce.Zane stood in the doorway, staring at us like he'd just walked in on a horror movie he hadn't signed up for. For a long moment, the room was filled with nothing but silence. Then, with excruciating patience, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and dialed a number. "Take her," I said when

    Alexis.The kitchen smelled like vanilla and strawberry heaven as Sierra and I worked on mixing the cake batter. "Well," Sierra said, licking a bit of frosting off her finger, "I have to say, you and Pierce have the naughtiest adventures. Fifty shades of Pierce starring Alexis." I shot her a
