My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 111- The Looming Castastrophe
Pov: NicholeKael, the man with the scarred neck, ushered us down a flight of stairs made of cracked concrete. He claimed that his real name was Kael rather than Victor and that he had used a fake name at the docks as a test. We descended into a heavily fortified steel bunker underground and the chamber was an environment leftover from the Cold War. One could smell damp earth and old electronics plus rows and rows of blinking green computer screens illuminating the dark room while showing complicated maps of the global banking networks.Without stopping, Kael took us to one of the terminals and with his thick fingers, he struck the keys as graphs and code quickly ran down the monitors."Silas isn't looking for a street fight anymore, " Kael stated with a tone of concern. "He plans to pull the plug on the entire global economy because he has spent three years creating a digital virus inside the world's most secure financial networks."As I felt Lily's little hand turning my collar bone
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 110- The Ambush Escape
The old warehouse was freezing and the air inside smelled like wet iron, rotting wood, and old oil. My flashlight beam cut a small yellow circle through the heavy dust, but the darkness seemed to swallow the light as I kept my left hand tight on the strap of the baby carrier against my chest. Lily was asleep, and her small face pressed into my jacket, but her tiny breaths felt too fast.Xavier moved one step ahead of me with his gun up and his eyes darting toward the iron rafters above us. Every sound, the drip of water from a broken pipe, the scrape of a rat across concrete, all of them, made my heart leap into my throat."We are too deep inside," I whispered as my voice sounded tiny in the massive space. "Xavier, we need to turn back, the laptop isn't here.""Two more minutes, Nichole," he muttered with his jaw locked tight. "Marcus said the old junction box was near the back wall and if the server is drawing power, it will be there."We rounded a corner made of stacked, rust
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 109-The Hunt For The Truth
Pov: Elizabeth After that night.The television in the safehouse was still on, but I turned the volume all the way down as the pictures of my face kept flashing, but I ignored them and sat at the small wooden desk in the corner of the bedroom. My eyes burned from staring at the bright screen of a stolen tablet.Silas thought he was the only one who could play this game. He thought his dossier was perfect, but I knew about stories.When a story is too perfect, it is usually a lie.I opened the digital news archives from fifteen years ago and the Vance corporate records that Thorne had downloaded for us. For three hours, I did not move as I compared the dates on the fire reports with the dates on the bank transfers."You need to blink, Nichole," Elena said as she stood in the doorway, leaning her shoulder against the wood as she held two plastic cups of black coffee."Look at this, Elena," I said as I pointed my finger at two columns of numbers on the screen. "Silas says my husband aut
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 108-The Media Storm
Pov: Xavier The television screen in the safehouse kitchen flashed with red text. THE VANCE FAMILY COLD CASE A woman in a blue suit spoke fast into a microphone and behind her, was a large digital picture of my face filling the screen. Next to my picture was a scanned document from fifteen years ago.I stood by the window and kept the curtains pulled tight as the light from the screen hit the opposite wall in steady pulses. Every major news channel played the same story and not even to think of it, social media was worse. Millions of people were typing my name, calling me a murderer and a thief. Silas had done his job perfectly and then the news anchor changed the slide. Nichole’s face also appeared on the screen as the reporter called her a gold-digger. They said she helped me hide the family secrets to protect her new wealth.I looked over at Nichole as she sat on the small sofa in the corner and her knees pulled up to her chest as she stared at the TV with utmost shock. Each
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 107-The Truth About Silas
Pov: XavierI watched the blue light of the laptop screen reflect in Nichole’s wide eyes. The black headlines scrolled down, over and over again and they buried my name under a mountain of lies. Silas was good at this, he always had been and he did not just use bullets this time. He used the truth like a knife, cutting away my cover until I stood bleeding in the open air.For over fifteen years, I carried the weight of my silence like a heavy stone in my stomach every single day. I thought my father’s death had paid the debt. I thought building this company, protecting Nichole, and keeping Lily safe could wash the blood off my hands. But, it was a lie I told myself in the dark. Silas was alive, and my bad choices were finally catching up to me. He was stripping away my company, my reputation, and my safety. He wanted me weak and completely alone before he put a bullet in my chest."Xavier," Nichole whispered. She did not look at me as her fingers hovered over the keyboard as they sh
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 106-The Viper’s Return
Pov: Nichole"Nicely done, Nichole. You are really pretty, " Elena told me as she fixed the strap of my black silk evening dress. "But your shoulders are way too stiff. Please loosen them. The vultures will be able to smell your sweat.""I am doing my best, " I explained.I was moving from the corridor into the large ballroom of the Vance mansion. The big crystal chandeliers were nearly touching the floor and there was a very strong and harsh lighting on the three hundred high class members of the city with diamonds on necklaces sparkling under the bulbs. The room filled with the sound of clinking champagne glasses and low polite laughter. It was like a trap decorated with gold leaf. I was holding my head so that it would be parallel to the floor made of marble. I could feel the eyes of the crowd moving towards me, they were watching my every step. They knew about the park ambush. The news had been suppressed, but these people traded in secrets. They were waiting to see if I would br

(Ryan & Xavier)“Hey, bro!”Ryan entered the hospital, his voice cracked through the sterile silence of the waiting room, loud enough to make a nurse glare at him, but he didn't care, he grinned anyway, with a duffel bag slung over one of his shoulders barging into the quiet hospital.“Man, you loo
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 3-The Encounter
(Xavier's Pov)“Get me the car keys!”Xavier's calm but commanding tone got the chief guard into tremendous fear of obedience, as he fumbled towards his boss, rushing with his car keys. Xavier took the keys from him. His tone wasn’t raised, it didn't have to be as authority dripped from it, the k
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 2- The Agony of My Pain
(Nichole's Pov)I woke up with a gasp, disoriented and aching. My head still throbbed hard as I found out I was lying on the floor, this time, on a cold pavement, in front of my house. I still noticed my body was still in blood stains.Where am I? I was confused.I wobbled to my feet. Looking arou
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 1-The day that broke me
“Nichole! The test confirms you are 3weeks pregnant!”“What? Pregnant?”I had a flutter immediately in my stomach, not the baby, but the excitement when I heard the news.My trembling hands caressed my belly, joy swelling in my heart.The test results were real!I will soon be a mother.I am pregnan
