POV: Nichole

I was a good half hour early.

There, on a bench at the margin of the park, I was staring at the streetlight above me. The place was really quiet with no pedestrians, or traffic noises, because it was already late, and people had retired for the night.

I texted him two hours ago and got no response from him.

Anyway, I waited because I had nothing to lose by waiting but will have everything to lose by not showing up.

In less than 30 minutes, I saw his headlights appear in the distanc

  • My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes    Chapter 78- Blood and Tears

    POV: NicholeWhile I laid there with him.The two men vanished into the dark as soon as Xavier hit the ground. The roar of their SUV fading down the road, leaving only the sound of my own ragged breathing and the engine of Xavier's car idling nearby.I hauled Xavier’s shoulders off the cold ground. His head was heavy and the blood soaked through my fingers, hot and sticky and staining the front of my dress. He did not blink. His skin was the color of mutton fat under the yellow station bulb.Then before all hope was lost . I saw a pair of headlights of another car rounding the bend as I jumped to my feet, and ran into the road, waving my bloody hands into the glare. The yellow car shrieked to a halt and behold, it was a local taxicab."Help me sir please!" I screamed at the wind-shield. "Someone is bleeding here!"The driver, an older man in a wool cap, got out and helped me drag Xavier into the backseat. I climbed in after him, pulling his torso onto my lap as Ipressed my linen coat

  • My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes    Chapter 77- The Midnight Flight

    Pov: NicholeWhen it was time, around 12:53pm.The old floorboards did not creak as I slid my feet into my shoes. I held my breath, watching the blanket over Xavier’s shoulders who was sleeping deeply, his face lined with the exhaustion of the past three days.I sat at the wooden table. By the light of a single dying ember in the stove, I took out a note and wrote on a scrap of wrapping paper.Xavier, I am so sorry for this,but I feel so guilty right now. They froze your accounts because of me and Elena had lost her job because of me. If I stay, Mira will take the rest of what you own. I am going back to the south district. Do not look for me. Let them give you back your company and protect yourself.My hand shook so hard the ink smudged on the final letter, felt like ripping a muscle from the bone. I loved him, but staying meant watching him slowly grow to despise the sight of me as his life rotted away. This was the only decision that would keep him whole.I placed the brass key on

  • My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes    Chapter 76- Mira’s Revenge

    POV: NicholeIt has been two days in the woods.The satellite phone on the kitchen counter buzzed three times against the wood. Xavier picked it up on the fourth ring. He did not say hello but he just listened.I watched him from the cot. His face did not change color, but the skin around his eyes tightened. He reached into his pocket, pulled out his black titanium debit card, and dropped it onto the table."When?" Xavier asked the caller as he paused. "All of them? Even the offshore holding account?"He ended the call without a goodbye and then looked at the card on the table."My personal accounts are locked," Xavier said. "The bank cited an emergency audit regarding corporate fund mismanagement and Mira’s father sits on the compliance committee."A cold sweat broke out along my hairline. Xavier had given up his salary when he resigned, but this was different. This was total extraction. He had zero dollars and the gasoline in his car’s tank and the cash in his wallet, eighty-four do

  • My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes    Chapter 75- The Ultimatum

    POV: NicholeAround 9pm in the night.The sound of heavy tires on gravel broke the morning silence as I sat up immediately in the small cot, my muscles stiff. Then through the reinforced window slats, two black luxury cars sat idling in the dirt.‘Who could that be?’ I thought.The heavy iron front door opened as Xavier’s mother walked in first. She wore a black wool coat with a sable collar. Her face was pale but rigid, showing no signs of the collapse from the ballroom and behind her lined four men in identical charcoal suits, each carrying a leather briefcase.“What is she doing here?”Her cold eyes scanned the bare concrete walls, passed over Elena sitting on the stool, and stopped on me as her lips thinned into a straight line. Then she turned her gaze to Xavier, who stood by the cold wood stove."You look ridiculous in this place, son," she said and her voice did not shake. "The board meeting is at noon today and the press is outside the townhouse. You will get in the car with

  • My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes    Chapter 74 The Safehouse

    POV: NicholeThe gravel crunched under the tires as the sedan crawled to a stop. Xavier off the headlights and the entire forest swallowed us in absolute darkness.We got out of the car. The air smelled of damp earth and pine needles. Ahead sat a low, concrete structure with a flat roof and reinforced steel window shutters. It did not look like a house but resembles a bunker.Xavier pushed open the heavy iron door and inside, the air was cold and smelled of dust. He walked straight to the kitchen counter where a row of black electronics sat. He picked up his personal phone, corporate phone, and the car’s GPS transponder. He took a small metal tool from his pocket, popped the SIM cards out, and snapped them in half with his thumbs. He dropped the pieces into a glass of water on the counter. Then he turned to us."We are off the grid," Xavier said flatly. "Mira's father has connections with the state police but they cannot track the signals here."Elena sank into an old leather armc

  • My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes    Chapter 73-The Escape

    POV: NicholeXavier’s hand clamped around my wrist, his fingers were cold, but his grip was like iron. He pulled me away from the wall and my heels skidded on a wet patch of spilled champagne.But he didn't slow down. He dragged me straight through the cluster of guests.I looked down as we passed his mother who lay lifeless on her side, her grey silk gown soaked in red wine from the broken glass and a man in a tuxedo was loosening her collar. Two feet away, Mira was screaming into her phone, her mascara running in dark tracks down her cheeks. She looked up, saw us, and pointed a red-nailed finger."Stop them!" she shrieked at us.Xavier ignored her as he pushed past Lord Sterling, who was his uncle, shoulder-charging the older man out of the way. Elena ran hard behind us, her hand holding up the hem of her heavy dress so she wouldn't trip.We burst through the heavy glass exit doors into the night air. Instantly, the dark was gone as white light exploded in my eyes. Ten paparazzi o
