Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife Chapter 91
Clarence’s POV. I woke up to the sounds of laughter drifting through the window. I had stayed out late with Julian until I was almost freezing before we headed back and bid each other goodnight. I didn't know what came over me last night but I felt so free around him, as free as I used to back then at college when I would tell him everything. Maybe it was because I needed company and hadn't had one in a long time or was it just my returning feelings for him doing all of that? I dragged myself out of bed, my feet hitting the cold floor. The schedule said we were supposed to meet by the lake this morning. When I stepped outside, everyone was already assembled and Julian was already there, standing by the lake with a few of our colleagues. He looked so at ease with his arms crossed over his chest. I watched him for a second longer than I should have, letting my gaze linger on the line of his jaw, the curve of his smile as he laughed at something someone said. “Clarence,” Julia

Clarence’s POV. That evening during the closing hours, Julian showed up at my door. He didn’t bother with a greeting. The look on his face said it all. “We need to go see Olivia,” he said. I straightened up in my chair, feeling the tension roll off him. “Do you have her address?” “We can get it from her application,” he said. “We need to catch her off guard before she catches the wind and decides to avoid us.” I nodded. It made sense. The last thing I wanted was for Olivia to slip away before we got the truth. I grabbed my bag, my mind racing as we headed to the parking lot. Julian led the way and opened the car door for me. I got into the passenger seat and he joined in the driver’s seat and started the car. “Her place is about an hour away,” He said as he pulled out of the lot. “I know the area.” I nodded, staring out the window. My mind kept circling back to Olivia. The way she used to hang around my office, offering coffee or a snack, pretending to be a friend. The

Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife Chapter 88
Julian’s POV. I rushed from my office to Clarence after receiving her call and hearing the fear and urgency in her voice. She was trying to put herself together when I got there. I saw the Rose and the cardboard paper and almost puked at the sight of the rat. This was too much, something I had never seen. I read the message and knew this night he had the last threatening message before whoever was sending this, came for her. Their message showed they had been watching her and knew I spent the night at her place. The sight of her trying to hold herself together made my chest ache. I wanted to promise her that I would keep her safe, but what good were promises when someone was clearly one step ahead of us? “Did you see Olivia today?” I asked, my voice tight. Clarence shook her head. “No. She texted me earlier, and said she wasn’t coming in. Something about not feeling well.” Not feeling well? Olivia was never one to miss work without a damn good reason but If Olivia wasn’t in

Kristina’s POV. I stood there in the middle of our living room, looking at my parents and unable to believe my ears. “You should let Julian go,” my father said. “You ruined everything.” I swallowed. “No, I can't,” I said, my voice trembling. “He’s the one who called off the engagement. Not me.” “He wouldn’t have if you had kept your act together,” my father shot back. “You couldn’t stay clean, could you? After everything we did for you.” I opened my mouth to argue, but he wasn’t finished. He stood up, towering over me. “Drugs, Kristina? After all the money we spent on your rehab? And now you’re dealing with lowlifes and bringing shame to this family?” “I wasn’t dealing,” I protested, but the words sounded weak even to me. “It was just once —” “Once?” he sneered. “We have evidence, Kristina. Pictures. Witnesses. You think Julian was bluffing?” My heart pounded, seeing my father in so much rage meant that it was over for me. I looked over at my mother, desperate for some k
Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife CHAPTER 86
Julian’s POV. I sat across from my lawyer, my hands clenched on the table. Papers were spread between us, each one stamped with Kristina’s name. “You’re really going through with this?” he asked, lifting his eyes to mine. “Yes,” I said firmly. “Terminate Kristina’s employment. Effective immediately.” He leaned back, eyebrows knitting together. “You do realize she’s not going to take this well. We’re talking about Kristina here. She won’t just walk away quietly.” “I don’t care,” I said, leaning forward. “She’s been back on drugs. She’s unstable, reckless, and she’s dragging the company’s reputation down with her. I can’t let her stay.” “Understood,” he said, gathering the papers. Before he left, he paused and said. “Be careful, Julian. Kristina’s not the type to just disappear. And she knows how to hit where it hurts.” With that, he walked out, his words taking a hold on me. Once he was gone, I sank back into my chair, exhaling a long breath. I rubbed my temples, trying to e

Clarence’s POV. It was a joy to behold after Julian finally announced he had ended the engagement. He was able to pull it off but somehow I doubted if he was alright. So I leaned forward, resting my elbows on my knees, trying to read his expression. “How do you feel?” Julian exhaled a long, heavy breath, leaning back against the chair. “Relieved,” he said, eyes drifting to the ceiling. “But also... restless knowing that Kristina isn’t going to let it go easily.” I swallowed, nodding. That was exactly what I was afraid of. Kristina was never the type to bow out gracefully. And now that Julian had ended things, she would only feel more desperate. “What do you think she’ll do?” I asked, my voice soft. Julian rubbed his temples, his jaw tightening. “I don’t know. But it won’t be pretty. I just need to keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn’t try anything reckless. And... I need to keep you safe.” I blinked, caught off guard by his words. “Me?” “Clarence,” he said, his g
Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife Chapter 84
Julian’s POV. I stood outside Kristina’s parent's house, after two nights of thinking and coming up with several plans on how to counter their opposition and know how to force them to accept it without them hurting Clarence. I pressed the doorbell and almost immediately, the door swung open, revealing Mrs. Paulo. Her eyes widened when she saw me. "Julian," she said, stepping aside. "What a surprise. Come in." I stepped inside, Mr. Paulo was already seated in the living room, his eyes fixed on me as I walked in. "Julian," he said. "Are you here to apologize and talk about the wedding after realizing you're wrong?" I didn’t sit. Instead, I stood in the middle of the sitting room, hands in my pockets. "No, I didn't come because of that. I came to talk about Kristina," I said, my voice steady. Mrs. Paulo’s smile faltered. "What about Kristina? Is she okay?" "She’s fine," I said, meeting her eyes. "But I’m not here to talk about her well-being. I’m here to end the engagement.
Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife CHAPTER 83
Clarence’s POV. I glanced over at Julian, who sat slumped in the corner, his head resting against the wall and eyes fixed on nothing. I swallowed, my chest tightening. Seeing him like that did something to me. It made me feel restless and helpless. The Julian I knew was always so composed and in control. The man sitting across the room now looked lost, like he was unraveling right in front of me. I picked up the cup of instant coffee I had just made and walked over, setting it down on the table in front of him. "I know it’s not much," I said, my voice soft, "but it’s hot and full of caffeine." He didn’t respond and didn't even look up. His eyes remained distant and his jaw clenched. His hand lay on the table, his fingers loosely curled, as if even holding a cup of coffee required more energy than he could muster. I slid into the seat across from him, folding my hands in my lap. An uncomfortable silence stretched between us. I wanted to say something, anything but I couldn
