My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 55-Shield
POV: XavierDo you love me?I saw her eyes welled up in tears Infront of me as she asked me those three little words which I've been avoiding for two weeks now. It was not that I didn't want to answer but atleast not at this point.However, when I was about to reply to her, then suddenly a gunshot abruptly interrupted the moment and all other matters we were discussing became irrelevant.The noise reached me before I understood what it was. The muscles of my body responded first, as I threw my hands on Nichole shielding her from the shot and shoving her behind me with my arms firmly wrapped around her, from the direction where the gun came from.As soon as I recognized the person who came out of his hidden place to come and face us squarely.That was Daniel Osei. An ex-business partner. Who had contract dispute that turned sour and that was the last time we saw each other physically.During that period he even got lawyers to threaten me, which I took seriously for a week until I won
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 54- Do You Love Me
POV: NicholeI 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 distance at quarter to ten.The car stopped at the curb. He stepped out and, as I was watching, he looked around before he spotted me. Then, without a word, he came over to me with his hands in his pockets. He came to a halt just a few steps away from me."What's going on here, Nichole?" he asked. "Why are we standing here?"I got up and looked him in the eyes. "Xavier, because you don't answer my calls anymore. You ignore my messages and I had to find some other means of getting in touch with you.""I
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 53- What Mira Planned
POV: MiraI waited for him at the meeting place, a bar on the east side of the city that nobody visited unless they had a reason to stay invisible.With no decent lighting, no familiar faces and the music was low enough to cover a conversation but not loud enough to matter. I arrived at ten and sat in the corner booth facing the door.He walked in at ten past and sat across from me without introducing himself and placing both hands flat on the table."You called," he said."I did," Mira said."What do you need?"Then I began. “I need a deal to be struck tonight. You will carry out a deadly mission for me in my suppose engagement party and you must not leave any trace.”The man looked at me for a moment. "Oh well Miss, that's a very specific order.""Of course, why not, I'm a very specific person," I responded adjusted my cloths in pride."Well, your price reflects that.""I didn't come here to discuss the price," I said,as I slid a sealed envelope across the table. "This is the half
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 52 - The Plan
POV: NicholeMarcus called Evelyn at nine fifteen.By nine forty-five, the three of us were sitting around my kitchen table with two cups of tea, one glass of water, and a problem that had a forty-eight hour deadline.I have met Marcus before tonight, which was enough for me to open the door when they arrived together. He was tall, well dressed, and ready for the conversation.He sat across from me and put his phone face up on the table as he started the conversation."I'll start," he said. "Because what I heard tonight changes the shape of everything."He told us all his plans and Mira's exact words against Xavier, the joint portfolio buried in the engagement contract, the attorneys already on standby.I sat very still through all of it.Evelyn sat beside me with her hands folded on the table, listening carefully without interrupting. When Marcus finished, the room was quiet for a moment."She was never after Xavier," I said."She was always after the Harrington accounts," Marcus sai
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 51-Too Late To Listen
POV: Marcus While driving to Xavier's house, I kept one thought going through my mind the whole time, he really had to hear this tonight.What I had overheard in that hallway was too heavy to be kept until morning. Every moment Xavier waited without that knowledge, it was another moment the trap was closing on him. I got to his place at seven thirty-two.There were two black SUVs already parked behind the other in the driveway, their engines were on although the drivers seemed totally relaxed at their posts. Xavier was leaving before I had even fully opened the door. He came downstairs with his dark navy suit. His watch was glinting as he moved, like a man walking confidently with a certain pride and a good place to be looking forward to, getting ready to go."Hey, Marcus, good to see you." He greeted, still focused on getting his shoe straps done, "Why are you here?"I walked towards him. " Yes Xav, we have something on ground I need to discuss with you. I just need a few minutes
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 50- The Celebration Of Fools
I had looked forward to a night like this for a very long time.The sitting room felt cosy, the champagne glasses were filled, and Mira was right there in front of me. She resembled the very woman I had always wished for my son, in all her glory. She was calm and sophisticated from a good family, with the right connections and the right understanding of what carrying the Harrington name meant.I held up my glass and our eyes met."Things are finally coming together, " I said.Mira's lips curved in a smile as she gently tipped her glass against mine. "Yes, at last."We gulped down the bubbly.Setting my glass aside, I reclined in my chair with the special delight of a woman who has strategized over a period of time and is now witnessing her plans unfold exactly the way she expected."Guess who came through this morning?" I said. "Sir Edmund Harrington himself”. Mira's glance momentarily betrayed her. "And Gerald Finch. The JohnWell’s family from Chicago and The Caldwell cousins from L
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 25-The Fake Report
(Nichole’s Pov)The cell door closed behind me and the sound of it went through my entire body finally.The officer had taken my phone at the desk downstairs, held out a plastic tray without looking at me. Well, I don't blame her because that's how they treated most of the unfortunate ones in this p
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 18- The Close Betrayal
(Xavier’s POV)I didn't go home after the incident. I couldn't. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Julian’s hand tucking a strand of hair behind Nichole’s ear. I saw her lean into him.The embrace I and she shared in the rain, immediately felt like a dirty memory. It wasn't a hug but a distractio

Chapter 17The Shadow in the Mirror.(Xavier’s POV)I sat in my car outside Nichole’s apartment for a long time. I didn't turn on the engine. The only sound was the tap-tap-tap sound of the rain hitting the roof. I stared at the glowing laptop screen on the passenger seat. The bank records were ri
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
