Ex-husband Regrets: I married a Billionaire Single-Dad CHAPTER 264
MORNING CAME QUIETLY, but Nadia did not notice it at first. Sleep had not come easily to her, and when it finally did, it had been shallow and restless, filled with fragments of memories she would rather forget.But sleep was way better than what her reality had become.The large bedroom was silent when her eyes opened. For a moment, She lay still beneath the heavy silk sheets, staring at the familiar ceiling above her. The room was enormous, larger than her bedroom she had grown up in.It was cold, empty, and quiet. Nothing like how she had envisioned married life to be like, although she was not really surprised, knowing the type of man Konstantin was.Even his presence in the room would not make it any warmer. Nothing about the room felt like home. Her throat tightened as she sat up. She remembered walking down the aisle in front of powerful families, cameras, and smiling faces.Everyone had called it a grand union. They called it the future of the Petrovan dynasty, saying she ha

The hospital smelled like antiseptic and over-brewed coffee.Avery kept her head down as she walked through the sliding glass doors of St. Jude Medical Center, the brim of her baseball cap shadowing half her face. Large sunglasses hid the rest. A pale wigitched against her scalp. The oversized hoodie and loose jeans disguised the lines of her body. The woman moving through the lobby looked nothing like Dr. Avery Quinn.That was the point because to the world, she was dead.To the press, she was a tragic headline.If anyone knew that she was alive, it would be a bigger risk on her, and everyone who tried to help her. Her fingers tightened around the strap of her bag as she approached the reception desk.“Emily Levrone,” she said quietly, pitching her voice lower. “Room number?”The nurse glanced at her screen. “Fourth floor. 417. But visiting hours are...”“I won’t be long.”Avery said, slipping away before the nurse could complete her sentence. Her pulse didn’t steady until the eleva

THE AIR BETWEEN them was tight enough to snap.Nadia stood just inside the room, the door closed behind her, her posture straight and unyielding. Fire light flickered across the walls, casting long, restless shadows that made the space feel smaller, closer, as though the mansion itself were holding its breath. Konstantin faced her from across the room, bare-chested, relaxed in the way only men who had never feared consequences could be.They regarded each other in silence. Not as lovers. Not equals.They were dversaries bound by history, blood, and something far more dangerous than affection.Nadia did not let her gaze linger on him. She kept her expression neutral, controlled, though every instinct screamed at her to remain alert. She had prepared for this moment on the flight home, replaying it over and over until fear dulled into sharp clarity. She knew his habits. His temper. The way he liked to circle before striking like snake with rabies, and just as dangerous. Konstantin til

THE STEADY BEEP of the heart monitor was the only thing anchoring Emily to the present. White light pressed against her eyelids even when they were closed, the hospital room too bright, too clean, too sterile for the weight sitting on her chest. The faint ache at the back of her skull reminded her she was still healing, that the surgery had been real, that she had survived it—barely. Her head felt wrapped in cotton and painkillers, her thoughts slow but stubbornly persistent.Emily lay half-awake, eyes drifting open and closed, while Keisha sat beside her bed, legs crossed, scrolling through her phone and talking in that soft, forced brightness people used around the injured. She had been talking for a while now, Emily had no idea how long. Time didn’t behave properly in hospitals. Minutes stretched. Hours collapsed.“…and the nurse said if you keep eating like this, you’ll be out of here in no time,” Keisha said gently, setting the phone aside. “You should’ve seen Adam earlier, Em. H

THE HOUSE WAS stuffy and airtight.That was how Avery felt as she stood in the wide ranch kitchen, sleeves rolled to her elbows, hands resting uselessly on the cool marble counter. The air inside the ranch mansion was too still, as though it were holding something back—waiting for a cue it had not yet received. Sunlight streamed in through tall windows, catching dust motes midair, but even the light felt cautiousAvery tried not to think about it.She focused instead on Mrs. Jackdaw, who was humming softly as she worked at the stove, stirring something rich and fragrant in a cast-iron pot. The older woman moved with the easy confidence of someone who had spent decades in kitchens like this—hands steady, back straight, eyes sharp despite the warmth in them.“You don’t have to stay in here with me, dear,” Mrs. Jackdaw said kindly, glancing over her shoulder. “You look like your mind’s halfway to another country.”Avery smiled faintly. “I think my mind’s been in several countries lately.

ADRIANO STAYED CROUCHED, staring at the empty space where she’d been. His chest burned. The warmth from earlier, the laugh, the promise of something like a family moment was gone, torn from him in seconds.He pressed his palms to the cold tile, forcing himself up. His jaw was tight enough to crack. Clarance. This was her. It had to be her. She had never cared about subtlety, and now she had her perfect opportunity, a well-placed hand, a fake smile, and a camera flash. Enough to plant doubt in anyone watching. Enough to reach Iris. Enough to reach Avery.She had planned all of this. He was sure she had planted the cameraman there to perfectly capture and "leak" the photos.His phone buzzed again. The sharp vibration cut through the silence of the kitchen. He didn’t even want to look, but he already knew who it would be. His management. His PR team. The vultures who always circled when Clarance’s name and his ended up in the same sentence.Adriano grabbed it off the counter. “What?”“Mr
