The Billionaire’s Abandoned Wife Is Back Chapter 60: Epilogue Chapter
One Year Later…Elena’s POV“Elena. Come back to the house. I have a surprise for you.”Lucian’s text came through on my phone and I smiled. I was sitting at the pond, our private pond, feeding the ducks. We’d moved into this new house about five months ago, and it was perfect. A sprawling estate with a pool, tennis courts, a stable, a massive garden, and a house far bigger than we’d ever need.It had taken a long time to find the perfect house, and Lucian had been incredibly patient. The moment I saw this house though, I knew. It was the one. It was the house I would spend the rest of my life in.Lucian had given me everything I could ever want. He showered me with expensive gifts and designer clothes. We went out regularly to eat at the most exclusive restaurants. Sometimes I felt like I had to pinch myself, like I was living in a dream, a real-life fairy tale.As I finished reading the text message, a news article flashed onto my screen. It was about Lydia. Her court date was loomi
The Billionaire’s Abandoned Wife Is Back Chapter 59: The End
Elena’s POVLucian was waiting for us back on the patio. He’d cleaned up the glass, and tried to fix the table. It was still a little lopsided, but it was usable. He’d also relit the candles.He was sitting on a chair, his hands wrapped around a wine glass. When he saw us coming, he looked up, a terrified look in his eyes.“Well?” he said, standing up so fast he almost spilled his wine. “How was the talk?”“It was fine,” Leon replied. “But sit back down. We have something we want to talk to you about.”With a perplexed look, Lucian sat down back down. He eyed us both suspiciously, but I shook my head.I knew what he was thinking. He thought I’d chosen Leon and that’s what we wanted to talk to him about. I would tell him that wasn’t the case. After we discussed the business deal. Leon was planning on leaving as soon as the conversation was done. I wanted to tell Lucian in private that I’d made my decision.“This is about business,” I said. “Not about this little love triangle.”Leon h
The Billionaire’s Abandoned Wife Is Back Chapter 58: The Better Man
Leon’s POVI kept a pretty calm demeanor. Although I was shaking inside.When Lucian told me it was my turn to go and see Elena, my heart leapt up. She’d chosen to see Lucian first. In my mind, that meant she was saving the best for last. Which was me.I’d practically skipped down the path to the garden. I couldn’t wait to tell her all about the beautiful life I had planned for us.As I got closer to her though, I saw her face.And the expression in her eyes said it all.I didn’t stand a chance. She’d already made her choice. And it wasn’t me.Pausing for a beat, I felt a crack in my heart. How was this possible? Those were my first thoughts. I’d been so certain that she would choose me. I hadn’t even entertained the thought of her choosing Lucian.Maybe I was imagining things. Maybe I was just being paranoid.But the more I looked at her face, the clearer it became.I lost. He won. She wanted him. Not me.The wind knocked right out of me. She was stunning, standing there in the moon
The Billionaire’s Abandoned Wife Is Back Chapter 57: Soften the Blow
Elena’s POVLeon walked towards me. But he took one look at my face and stopped.“I’ve already lost, haven't I?” he said.My chest squeezed. I really hated this. I wished he’d never had feelings for me. The last thing I wanted to do was hurt Leon. He’d saved me. Bought me plastic surgery. Gave me a job and a new life.If I could have loved him, I would.“How did you know?” I whispered.“Your face,” he said. “You might not think so, but I know you very well, Elena. I knew the moment I saw your face that you’d already chosen Lucian.”His voice was low. He was doing his best to hide his heartbreak, but it wasn’t working. I could see right through the thin façade of a smile.The clouds broke just then and moonlight flooded down. It hit his eyes.“You’re so handsome,” I said. “I don’t if I’ve ever told you that before. But you really are.”I meant it. He was, with his dark hair and bright eyes. He was shorter than Lucian, but more muscular in build.“You haven’t,” he said, his lips tuggin
The Billionaire’s Abandoned Wife Is Back Chapter 56: Leon Approaches
Elena’s POVHis lips on mine ignited a fire inside of me that had been sleeping for a long time. Greedily, I kissed him back. I reached around and clawed at his back. Our kiss deepened. He furled his hands in my hair.There was nothing else in that moment. Just him and me and our hot, wet lips. I gave myself over to the kiss completely.That is..until I snapped back to the present.I broke the kiss and took a step back. With a gasp, I brought my fingers up to my lips. Lucian held my gaze, his eyes steady and intense.“I’ve missed that,” he said with the tug of a smile.I was speechless. My heart was still racing from the kiss.“You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” Lucian teased. “I guess you forgot what it was like to kiss your husband?”I had forgotten. I’d completely forgotten the heat and the passion that Lucian had once shared. But it was all coming back to me now.“Elena,” Lucian said, stepping towards me. He took one of my hands in his. “I know I already said this before. But I’m
The Billionaire’s Abandoned Wife Is Back Chapter 55: Enough!
Elena’s POVThe fight had come out of nowhere. That’s how I felt. One moment, we were eating a nice dinner. And the next?The men were rolling around on the ground, punching each other in the face.I was devastated. I knew they were fighting over me. But this was the last thing I wanted. Glass shattered, the table broke, the wine spilled. I watched it unfold, horrified by what I was seeing.The sound of their fists hitting each other cracked through the otherwise silent night. They yelled profanities at one another. They were like savage beasts.I would expect this from two men who grew up on the streets. Or at a skeezy bar somewhere after too many cheap beers.But both of these men were CEOs of highly successful companies. This simply wasn’t how high society behaved. I was mortified and embarrassed for both of them.Lunging at Lucian, I tried to pull him off. But I wasn’t strong enough. So I did the only thing I could think of.I begged them to stop.Thankfully, that worked. They fin
The Billionaire’s Abandoned Wife Is Back Chapter 22: Suspicions
Lucian’s POVI closed the front door of our home, and slung off my jacket. A deep exhaustion had taken hold of me and I intended on retreating to my private study and having a good, stiff drink. However, as I entered the hallway, I heard Ava’s soft cries.Entering the living room, I was dismayed to

Elena’s POVLeon came towards us in long, angry strides. Before Lucian knew what was happening, Leon grabbed Lucian’s arm.“I said, let her go,” Leon demanded. His grip on Lucian’s arm caused Lucian to release my wrist. Seizing the opportunity, I darted to the side, away from Leon.Lucian wasn’t wi
The Billionaire’s Abandoned Wife Is Back Chapter 20: A Dangerous Situation
Elena’s POVLucian stared at me, dumbfounded by what I’d just done. I let out a low, callous chuckle.There was a time when I would have cried over Lucian’s accusations. I would have cowered and recoiled. But I wasn’t that woman anymore. I was strong and more than capable of defending myself.I was
The Billionaire’s Abandoned Wife Is Back Chapter 19: Fighting Back
Elena’s POVThe look in Lucian’s eyes rattled me.“Let me go,” I demanded. Lucian kept his gaze steady, staring deeply into my eyes with an expression I couldn’t quite place.Anger? Confusion? Desperation?After a moment though, Lucian released his hold on me. I immediately took a step back from hi
