The Billionaire Ex-Wife He Never Divorced Chapter 018: The Move
Selene's PovThe steering wheels felt heavier to hold as I guided the car to a familiar street forcing myself to breathe steady and calm but it seemed impossible because of the collision with Lucien.In the rearview mirror the kids chatter in the back. Then Elia's eyes met mine in the mirror then she began, “Mum, why were you running?” Her curious voice emanated sharp from the back seat, “That man doesn't look scary.”I forced a smile in hesitation, tightening my hands on the wheels, this made my knuckles whitened, “No reason sweetheart. Let's just get home.”When we got to the house that night, as the children slept peacefully, sleep escaped from my eyes. My mind kept replaying the moment Lucien saw me and how embarrassing the silence stretched between us with his possessive eyes that was all over me and the kids. My heart hammered within my ribs as I wondered, “If his eyes lingered one second longer… would he have seen through me?”All these thoughts raced through my head until I d
The Billionaire Ex-Wife He Never Divorced Chapter 017: The Matriarch’s Voice
In the early morning, Lucien was already dressed in a black tailored suit ready to leave his mansion. He checked the time on his Patek Philippe watch gleaming on his wrist. Gifted to him by his grandmother.His mood was heavy as he remembered those days when his grandmother was strong and capable of commanding power in the company, but now she was bedridden.The doctor’s voice from last night’s call suddenly echoed in his mind, filling him with hope: “She’s showing a surprising response. You should come.”His jaw tightened, “If she gets better, she’s not going back to that mansion, she’s coming with me,” he whispered to himself, stepping out of his mansion.Just as he stepped out, reaching for his car, the phone buzzed. Gerald’s name flickered all over his screen. He pressed the green call sign, accepting the call.“Sir, about the new project,” Gerald’s voice carried the eagerness of an assistant who had been awake working since dawn. “Do you want me to forward the file?”“Not forwar

Selene's pov“If we land this project, Aether Consortium will stop being a newcomer. We become a contender.” I mumbled to myself, my voice echoing as I sat in my glass office, tapping through the files Kairo had sent me the previous night which now received my full attention.The late afternoon sunlight was warm, good weather to focus on productivity and good strategies to perfect this contract. My fingers moved on the laptop, scrolling down the content of the project while I read every detailed information Kairo had perfectly documented, a high-stakes green energy contract.“A solar-smart skyscraper partnership,” I whispered, when my eyes caught the information reading in between lines, “hmm, government-backed, with media visibility… a kind of contract that can transform Aether Consortium into another higher level.”I smiled, swinging my office chair slowly, left and right. I paused, then clicked to the next page, and my hands trembled on the next information I saw.But then, compet

Selene's POV The afternoon light spilt through the tall glass windows, reflecting on my working table, showcasing its polished gleams and elegant designs. When the twins walked into the office, I shut down my laptop, and joy warmed my heart. I'd waited for them, glancing at my wristwatchevery now and then. “Hello, there you are.” I stood up for Elia’s hugs, “my partners in crime.”Elia responded as she gave in to the hugs, “We're not criminals, Mum. Just shoppers….”I laughed softly, pulling her in tighter. Luca, as usual, trailed behind, his tablet in one hand, fingers moving across the screen. I bent to catch him too, pressing a kiss to his hair before he wriggled half-free.“Victor, why so late?” I queried, looking in the driver's direction. “What happened?”He dipped his head apologetically. “Traffic, Ms Quinn. My apologies.”“Alright.” My tone softened.“We want snacks and gym shoes,” Luca added, finally looking up from his screen.“Then we better leave now before the shop clo

General POVOutside the school premises sat Elia and Luca, sitting on the school bench waiting for the driver to come pick them up from school. Their backpacks were behind them as they waited patiently.Elia sat moving her legs in a way her school sneakers tapped the ground, and the sound pierced the silence within, as most students were already gone, while Luca was beside her, focused on his tablet, moving his fingers on the screen, not caring about what time the driver would come.“When are we going to execute our plans?” Elia questioned, “You told me to wait, and I've been waiting for…like…a hundred years.”“A week. You have been waiting a week. And you exaggerate like Dad,” Lu

Lucien’s povMidday at the office was a moment of quiet meditations. The sun was warm too. After the lunch break, I couldn't pay attention to work. The office phone rang twice, but I didn't bother checking who called the line.I couldn't even focus on the documents brought to me for approval and signature by my secretary earlier this morning. My mind raced from one thought to another. It drifted to the morning encounter with Selene, the way she had looked at me across the street, composed in her office wear. Then there were the failed attempts to speak to her when I saw her during my lunch at the plaza; I didn't reach out. Something in her eyes, some unshakeable certainty, had kept me still.I stood up immediately, pacing to and fro in my office, restless like a caged dog. “What the hell is going on with me? Why do I feel this way?” I whispered to no one as I crossed my arms tightly. I should have approached her those times. I saw her today; instead, her poised attitude made me hes
