My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 36-The Fallout
I got to the door and opening the door wide, I was at a loss for words as irritation strained my lungs. My guess was either Marcus or a tenacious journalist but what I saw surprised me…. It was Beatrice. Under the porch light she was standing, her face pale and eyes with red rims.Without waiting for my words, she pointed her finger at me. "I told you, " she whispered, barely containing her anger and weariness at the same time. "I warned you, Mr. Xavier. Don't even think about coming near my husband. Stay away from our lives, with your games and your greed you have done enough harm already." I was motionless, my hand still on the door handle."Beatrice, you are talking nonsense at this hour." "I am really making sense!" she shouted, getting louder. "You think you can just use people as if they were pieces on a chess board? You think after destroying a marriage you can just leave without any consequences?" She spat.Sounds of the bickering inside the house led Mira from the livi
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 35-The Wrong Woman At The Right Time
(Xavier pov)It only took forty minutes to drive home from Harrington Tower, but it felt like forever. The traffic didn't matter. The real issue was the number that kept flashing in my head. Forty days. I kept picturing it over and over. Forty days to get a fiance, to announce the engagement, and to set the date of the wedding. And if I didn't succeed, I would have to give up the career that I had built over six years and a fortune that ordinary people cannot even imagine. I appeared calm when I left the meeting but in reality, I felt hollow. Marcus didn't say anything in the elevator. He understood that I needed silence to digest the news before I could begin planning. When I got to the bridge, I was wondering if there was a last-minute escape. However, every time I tried to think of a different way, it was the same dead end again. I was completely alone. Besides, it was not a matter of meeting a woman. Women were an integral part of my world and quite a few of them would ha
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 34- The Ultimatum
POV: XavierI have a conference meeting today.The conference room was located on the 42nd level of Harrington Tower , the place where none of the guys are of low class.Generally, power at this stage of the game is very subtle. It may reside in the elegance of one's clothes, the silence during a disagreement, or even the manner in which a person can announce terrible news yet keeping his hands still on the table. I had been in this room so many times during the last six years and always been on the good side of that silence.But not this time.Six people were sitting around the oval table when I entered. They were known as the Harrington Group, the representatives of the "old money, " upholding the rules and a kind of secret pact which was nowhere recorded in any public register but still controlled wealth over three continents to an extent which even governments could hardly keep track of. I had been given a seat at this table when I was only thirty, becoming the youngest member i
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 33-The Settlement
(POV: Nichole)I stood against the corridor wall and waited and I heard Xavier approaching. His walk was easy to recognize. I opened my eyes as he came around the corner. He looked tense, his jaw held tight as he searched the hallway. When he saw me, he reached me in a few steps, putting his hands on my face and tilted my head up, looking closely at me to make sure I was not hurt."You should not be out here by yourself," he said."I am fine."He looked like he didn't believe me, but he did not argue. He looked at the door to room 15 and turned back at me. "How is he doing?""He is stable," I said. "He is awake now, but he is in a lot of pain."Xavier nodded. He seemed to be thinking about something. He straightened his jacket, took a breath, and pushed the door open and I followed him into the room.Raymond was lying against the pillows with his eyes half open. A monitor next to the bed beeped at a regular pace. Without his suit and his usual confident manner, he looked quite wea
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 32- The Ward
(POV: Nichole)I walked beside Dr. Mensah, my hands trembling around a paper cup of tea I hadn't even tasted. I was still wearing Xavier’s jacket over my torn blouse; no one had offered me a change of clothes, and I was too exhausted to ask. My palms were pale from the pavement and my knees throbbed with every step, but the news that Raymond was stable was the only thing keeping me upright."His vitals have improved significantly," Dr. Mensah said, he said calmly. "The accident fractured two ribs and caused some internal bruising, but he’ll heal with rest. He’s unconscious but responsive. You can see him, but please, keep it brief.""Thank you," I whispered.We turned the corner toward room fourteen, and I frozeI saw Beatrice. She was there.She stood outside his door with her back to us and one hand pressed flat against the wall with her head bowed.Her shoulders shook with the effort of holding back the tears. She was still in her evening clothes, her bag tucked tightly under her
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 31- Her Name
POV :Beatrice.Knock! knock!I heard a knock on the door.She didn't look like a woman who had just seen a tragedy. Her coat was buttoned, and her face was a mask of cold indifference. She looked at me with eyes that were far too calm for the news she was carrying."Mrs. Beatrice," she said flatly, almost bored."It’s late, Mira. Why are you at my doorstep?" I asked."I have news, come with me." she said, stepping past me into the house without even waiting for an invitation.She walked into the center of the lounge and turned to face me as she just stood there, watching me with a strange, knowing glint in her eyes. It was the look of someone holding a match near a trail of gunpowder."Talk," I said, leaning against the doorframe."There was an incident tonight," Mira began, as she spoke calmly "It happened outside Xavier’s house. A car came out of nowhere and was heading straight for Nichole."I felt my grip tighten on my phone, but I kept my face still. "And?"Mira let out a mockery
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 16-The Rain And The Lie
The rain poured down hard.It wasn’t like a movie where everything looks silver and romantic under the streetlights. This was a very brutal and messy Chicago storm. I drove my expensive car through the dark city streets, gripping the steering wheel. On the seat next to me, my phone wouldn't stop b

(POV: Xavier)The doctor came in at 9:15am with a clipboard and a smile and said the words I had been waiting for two days to hear."She's ready to go home."Nichole looked up from the bed.She heaved a sigh relief first, when good news arrives and realises she don't actually have a home to go to.

POV: XavierShe fought sleep for a long time.I watched her do it. Every time her eyes closed, something pulled her back,some thought, some image and version of that hallway she couldn't stopreplaying.Her fingers held the edge of the blanket as she muffled in pain.Then finally, around two in th
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 7- Xavier’s POV
“Nichole!!”Xavier jerked up immediately from his sleep as his head snapped back from the chair where he had dozed off. His eyes fluttered, and for a moment he didn’t recognize where he was. Pacing his eyes around ...and then he realised it was just a dream.His gaze fell on Nichole immediately as
