“Why are you calling me Lucas?” Scarlet asked, immediately she picked the phone. Her fingers gripping the phone tightly to her ears.

“You stole from me, Scarlet. I let you go, I allowed the divorce, I even gave you my card which you returned claiming you have no need for it, yet, you stole from me?”

“Lucas! Is this another cheap blackmail of yours again? Is this another stupid gesture to get me hurt again? Why would I steal from you?”

“Don't get me wrong, Scarlet. You were the only one who had

  • My billionaire ex-husband wants me back   Chapter 70 The End

    The morning of the wedding bloomed with golden sunlight and a sky so clear it felt like heaven had pressed pause. A soft breeze whispered through the trees, carrying the scent of roses and jasmine, while doves nestled on branches like nature’s blessing.The garden venue looked like a dream carved into the earth — tall white arches wrapped in ivory flowers and draped silk, chairs arranged in perfect symmetry, and a floral aisle lined with petals that shimmered like snow.A vintage quartet played quietly, their strings echoing through the crisp air as guests arrived, dressed in soft pastels and quiet elegance.It wasn’t just a wedding.It was a rebirth.---**Scarlet stood inside the bridal suite**, her back to the mirror, veil gently pinned by her stylist. Her heart pounded — not from fear, but awe. The woman staring back at her in the mirror wore no sorrow. She wasn’t the shattered soul she used to be.She was radiant. Whole.And in love.Lyssa stepped in with a breathless smile. “Eve

  • My billionaire ex-husband wants me back   Chapter 69

    Lucas wasn’t used to feeling nervous. Not anymore.Not in conference rooms. Not in front of the press. Not even in courtrooms when his world was crumbling piece by piece.But tonight, as he stood in front of the full-length mirror adjusting his shirt for the fifth time, a flicker of old nerves stirred in his chest.Loretta.It had been years since they'd last spent time together without the noise of their past. No wealth, no pain, no expectations. Just two people who used to race bicycles down dusty roads and laugh under mango trees.And now… they were both grown. Changed. Bruised, but standing.His driver pulled up in front of the **Moonflower Café**, a rooftop garden restaurant bathed in warm string lights and soft bossa nova music drifting through the open air. Lucas stepped out, dressed in a dark blazer and gray turtleneck, a quiet bouquet of white gardenias in hand.She was already there.Sitting at a corner table with a view of the skyline, her hair twisted elegantly, gold earri

    The office of Lucas Enterprises buzzed with the usual Monday morning rhythm — phones ringing, shoes clacking across tiled floors, and assistants moving in and out with updates and reports.Lucas leaned back in his chair, reviewing a marketing pitch when his secretary entered holding a slim black box and a single rose wrapped in silk paper.“Sir,” she said, smiling. “This was delivered for you.”He frowned slightly. “From who?”“No name. Just a note.”She handed him a small card.Lucas opened the envelope, curious.***“Happy Birthday, Lucas. Some things are timeless — like a rose, and memories of us riding bikes down Iverson Street. – L.”***Lucas blinked.L?He opened the box. Inside was a luxurious bottle of **Santal Absolu** — a rare fragrance he hadn’t worn since he was twenty-one. The scent brought memories flooding back.He hadn’t even realized it was his birthday.A soft knock pulled him from his thoughts.The door opened.And there she stood.**Loretta James.**Her hair was lon

    Lucas had never rehearsed so many times before dialing a number.His fingers hovered over Scarlet’s contact on his screen, the name as familiar as the ache it carried.*Just do it*, he told himself.He hit call.The line rang twice before she picked up, her voice calm and guarded.“Hello?”“Scarlet,” he began, his tone gentler than usual. “I know I’m the last person you want to hear from. But… I was wondering if we could talk.”She was quiet. “I don’t think that’s a good idea, Lucas.”“I know,” he said. “I get it. I just… I need to say some things. Just once. Please.”A long pause followed. Then she sighed softly.“Fine. One hour. Public café. Nothing dramatic.”Lucas smiled faintly. “Thank you.”---She was already seated when he arrived — calm, beautiful, and composed in a beige blouse and black trousers. Her hair was pulled back in a sleek ponytail, and her eyes met his with cool detachment.Lucas sat across from her, nervous in a way he hadn’t felt in years.“I know you don’t owe

    Lucas sat at the head of the long mahogany conference table, the blinds behind him half-drawn, letting in thin beams of mid-morning light. A steaming cup of coffee sat untouched beside a folder of projections, his mind miles away from numbers or meetings.He kept replaying Peter’s words over and over — *“Scarlet chose me because you lost her.”*No matter how much he tried to bury the ache, it gnawed at him. It wasn’t just the sting of jealousy, or even the shame of watching his ex-wife move on.It was the realization that Peter — the brother he once mocked for growing up in the shadows — had become everything he was not.A leader.A man Scarlet could actually love.A knock on the door jolted him.“Yes?” he said, voice low.His secretary peeked in. “Sir… I think you’ll want to hear this.”She stepped aside for his personal assistant, Daniel, a sharp, well-informed man with his tablet in hand.“Investors,” Daniel said, eyes gleaming. “We’re seeing activity again.”Lucas blinked. “What k

  • My billionaire ex-husband wants me back   Chapter 65

    The scent of fresh lilies and the soft hum of jazz music filled the open space of *SCARLET Holdings*. The sun poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm, golden hue across the polished floors. Staff moved with energy and pride, not with fear. Laughter echoed from the creative department; someone had just brought in homemade cupcakes.Scarlet stood at the center of it all — calm, focused, glowing.Her office had no doors.That was intentional.She had insisted on a layout that allowed her to stay accessible to her team. A symbol that no one would be silenced or diminished within these walls.“Ma’am,” her assistant called, walking briskly. “The expansion proposal is ready for your review, and the charity team wants to know if you’ll be attending the gala.”Scarlet glanced up from her desk, already reviewing numbers. “Yes, and yes. Send me the drafts. I’ll go through them on the flight.”The assistant paused. “Flight?”Scarlet blinked. “Wait — what flight?”Just then,

    The café still buzzed in the background, the remnants of soft jazz spilling from open windows as Scarlet stepped out with Peter, her hand tucked comfortably in his.They’d just finished dinner — not one of those extravagant outings Peter used to think she wanted, but something intimate and quiet.

    The next morning, Peter stood in front of the mirror, his expression unreadable.His fingers hesitated at the collar of his shirt. He didn’t know what one wore to a meeting with the family that abandoned them — or worse, the family that never claimed them to begin with.Scarlet stood by the door, a

    Peter wasn’t sure what he was expecting when he reached the address Scarlet texted him, but it definitely wasn’t a newly constructed glass building that shimmered like a monument under the night sky.He parked across the road and stepped out, his eyes scanning the structure before they locked on th

    The following morning Peter had never imagined a life like this — not even in the deepest corners of his daydreams.He lay on the couch, one hand resting against Scarlet’s bare shoulder, the other brushing idle circles on her back. The late morning sun cast golden rays across the room, flooding it
