I didn't stop digging. I went through a hundred more articles, jumping from one website to another, trying to piece together Lyra's past. And I had to admit something I probably shouldn't have been thinking about right now.

Lyra resembled her grandmother so much.

They were both ridiculously beautiful, the kind of beauty that stood out even in old photographs. The shape of her face, her eyes, even the way she smiled, there was something almost identical about them.

    I didn't stop digging. I went through a hundred more articles, jumping from one website to another, trying to piece together Lyra's past. And I had to admit something I probably shouldn't have been thinking about right now.Lyra resembled her grandmother so much.They were both ridiculously beautiful, the kind of beauty that stood out even in old photographs. The shape of her face, her eyes, even the way she smiled, there was something almost identical about them.I shouldn't have been noticing that. Lyra had screwed me over. I was angry with her. Furious, actually. But I couldn't deny what was right in front of me. She looked exactly like her grandmother. Still, I forced myself to focus.Most of the information I found was about the Smith family, and eventually I came across something that made me stop scrolling.There had been a fire. According to the articles, both of Lyra's parents had supposedly died in it, and it happened barely a year after the death of her grandparents.That i

    Sienna was in prison, and I didn't have many friends. Honestly, I didn't think friends were even important when you're a billionaire. All we had were business partners, or at least that's how I had always seen people around me.That's how I saw Ronan at first. But lately, after everything that happened with Lyra and the amount of time we'd spent around each other, I thought it was safe to call him a friend.We had been through enough together for that, we went on double dates, we'd end the night drinking whenever one of us was having a bad day, and whenever either of us started missing Lyra, we'd sit somewhere and talk about her until neither of us wanted to anymore.That's why I called him right now. Especially because I believed he deserved to know.The woman he'd cried over, the woman he had genuinely believed was dead, was alive.He was married now, but I was sure he still thought about Lyra sometimes. There was no way someone could simply erase a person they'd loved that deeply.

  • His Ex Is Now A Billionaire's Wife   Chapter 127

    Victor:This was bullshit. Absolute bullshit.After everything I had gone through for that child, after everything I had spent trying to make sure he had a future, Lyra suddenly thought she could just pay me off and take him from me?Fifty billion. She had actually looked me in the eyes and offered me fifty fucking billion like my child had a price tag.It had to be the wealth fever. She didn't grow up with any of this. Now that she was suddenly surrounded by billions, she had completely lost her mind.“Where do you want to go eat?” Christine, who was following behind me, asked.When Lyra's assistant asked us to leave, Christine came out first, but as soon as we reached the hallway, I rushed ahead, taking two steps at a time. My mind was all over the place. None of this made sense.How had the helpless woman I knew become someone who could sit behind a desk worth billions and calmly threaten to take my child away?“Take a cab, or you can take the car.”I was already ready to hand her

    When Victor suggested the name Taylor, I was so not feeling it. It didn't sound like a good name to me, and honestly, I just didn't like it. At the time, I couldn't imagine actually calling my child that.But with everything that was happening, with the reality that Victor might not be in my child's life anymore, I suddenly felt like I needed to give my baby something that would always remind me of his father. That was the reason I gave him the name Taylor.And actually, after talking to my baby multiple times and calling him Taylor, the name didn't sound bad anymore. In fact, I think it was growing on me. It was strange how something I had disliked so much could slowly become something that felt like it belonged to him.I felt tears forming, and I immediately had to chant the words from my therapist in my head, the ones that usually helped me regain control before my emotions completely took over. I wasn't going to cry in front of Victor. Not today.But I knew myself. If those emotio

    Like I had mentioned, I've been working on the home I needed, the mansion I wanted. It was going to be like nothing anyone had seen before, and I wasn't interested in settling for something ordinary.There are a lot of real estate companies that could make that possible, but it just so happens that the Morgans are the best, even here in Houston, which is why I had my people send them a proposal.We had already discussed everything with the lead Morgan, Christine's father. They would think of the materials, I already had the land in The Woodlands, and they would bring in the workers and handle everything from the construction to the finishing touches.Now, we had come to a conclusion. It was about nine hundred and fifty million, and I had just added another fifty million so they could make sure it was treated as top priority and came out as perfectly as possible.A one-billion-dollar contract? Now that was something no one could casually refuse.Christine's father said their lawyer wou

    Carol was still in shock, one minute she was mumbling to herself, and the next she was practically crying to the lawyers, begging them to find a way around whatever my grandparents had put in place.Me, on the other hand, I didn't know what had gotten into me, but I was smiling, well, inside. One trillion. It was crazy to even say the number in my head because now I was rich. Not just comfortable, not just well-off, but ridiculously wealthy, and the strangest part was that I hadn't even done anything to earn it.It wasn't something to look forward to anymore because everything was already in my name. I could literally walk into a shop and buy the most expensive thing there and it still wouldn't leave a dent in my wealth. Yup, my wealth, because this was mine.For the first time since Carol had taken me, I felt like I had something she couldn't simply take away from me.I knew Carol was after it, but I had my father. With this kind of money, I could hire the best security in the world

    I didn’t think Victor actually meant what he said. That he would help me get back at his friend. It didn’t make sense.I rolled out of bed and dragged myself to the bathroom, brushing my teeth like a zombie before crawling back under the sheets. My phone was in my hand before I even realized it.I

    Maya was right. I just couldn’t take this and I needed to make a plan but before I had even thought of one, I had already drowned four bottles of alcohol and still thinking, ‘yeah, one more might fix this.’Maya had left after she had a call from her current boyfriend. She didn’t stay long enough f

    Ring. Ring. Ring.I groaned, dragging the pillow over my head. I waited for the phone to stop ringing but it didn’t. I blindly reached for it and then I saw the name. Maya. “What the hell?” I muttered, sitting up immediately. Maya was calling me?My chest tightened, something must be wrong, like

    "She's choking!" I heard someone scream.I coughed violently, my entire body jerking as water forced its way out of my mouth. My lungs burned like someone had set them on fire. “Breathe,” a voice said. “Stay with me.”I sucked in a sharp breath, only to choke again, more water spilling out as I ga
