The Billionaire's Ex-Wife: Declared Dead, Returned Dangerous Chapter 48: The French Intruder
Andre’s POVThe process server had barely left our building before Count Henri managed to use his court injunction to force a meeting with Avery at the downtown hotel restaurant, claiming it was a mandatory conference to discuss the betrothal papers in front of Eleanor and our legal team. Avery had explicitly instructed me to stay in my penthouse office so I wouldn't start a fistfight with the man, but the thought of that Frenchman sitting across a dining table from my wife reading French poetry while pouring her vintage wine made my stomach churn with pure, possessive jealousy.I grabbed a pair of dark sunglasses, a wide hat, and a plain jacket from the hall closet, and I followed them down to the hotel dining room ten minutes later to watch every single move from a corner booth near the kitchen entrance."Your hair looks like sunlight over the fields of Provence, Avery, and this vintage bottle from my family's private cellar is the on
The Billionaire's Ex-Wife: Declared Dead, Returned Dangerous Chapter 47: The Secret Heiress Rumor
Alexa’s POVI ran into the living room with the morning paper in my hands, and I stopped right near the table where Avery and Andre were standing because the front page was completely covered by a massive headline detailing a bizarre story about Avery's background. The street down below the penthouse was already crawling with dozens of news trucks and reporters, and my phone was buzzing every two seconds with calls from major news networks trying to confirm the ridiculous story before the morning news broadcast started."You both need to look at this paper right now, because a tabloid just published a massive article claiming Avery is the long-lost heiress to a huge European chocolate fortune," I said, handing the paper directly to Andre while Avery leaned over his arm to read the text."This is completely absurd, Alexa, because my family made our money in real estate and shipping, and I have never even visited that chocolate factory in
The Billionaire's Ex-Wife: Declared Dead, Returned Dangerous Chapter 46: Grandmother’s Gauntlet
Avery’s POVThe sound of shattering glass from the guest room had kept us awake for half the night, and by seven o'clock the next morning, Grandmother Eleanor had already transformed our quiet living area into a high-society battlefield by ordering six extra chairs and three large tea sets from the building manager. I walked into the room wearing my casual shirt, and I found my grandmother standing by the sofa while three snooty women from the city social committee were already sitting at our table with small cups in their hands, looking at our apartment like they were inspecting a budget hotel."Good morning, Avery, and you should go change into a proper dress immediately because Mrs. Sterling and her friends have arrived to see how you manage a traditional morning tea," Eleanor said, pointing toward my bedroom without even saying hello."This is my penthouse, Grandmother, and I usually spend my seven o'clock hour reviewing market repo
The Billionaire's Ex-Wife: Declared Dead, Returned Dangerous Chapter 45: The Unexpected Matriarch
Andre’s POVI reached into my jacket and gripped the handle of my gun while pulling Avery behind my back, and I stepped out onto the terrace with my shoes pressing quietly against the floor tiles while the shadow near the glass doors suddenly moved into the light. The figure stepped fully into the terrace lights, and instead of a hitman sent by Marcus, an elderly woman in an expensive suit holding a small dog under her arm looked at us with an irritated expression while three huge suitcases sat on the floor beside her."You can put that weapon away right now, Andre, because if I wanted to have you shot, I wouldn't stand out on a balcony in the humidity waiting for you to finish your little elevator ride," Grandmother Eleanor said, setting the tiny dog down on the ground where it immediately ran past my feet and into the living room."Grandmother Eleanor, what are you doing standing outside our private terrace entrance at eleven o'clock at night without giving us any warning, and how d
The Billionaire's Ex-Wife: Declared Dead, Returned Dangerous Chapter 44: The Grand Humiliation
Avery’s POVThe private island getaway had successfully forced Marcus to sail his broken yacht back to the Florida coast for repairs, but the final showdown of this ridiculous elite property war was currently taking place inside the grand banquet hall of the Plaza Hotel where the city's top ten families were gathered for the annual founders' dinner. Andre and I were sitting at our premium center table right next to the governor, and Marcus Vance was sitting directly across from us looking completely miserable after his expensive Caribbean failure, yet his bruised ego was clearly driving him to make one last public attempt to embarrass our partnership in front of the entire high-society board.The waiters were currently circulating the room with heavy silver trays containing the appetizers, and Marcus immediately cleared his throat loudly and tapped his crystal water glass with a spoon to draw the attention of the surrounding guests to our sectio
The Billionaire's Ex-Wife: Declared Dead, Returned Dangerous Chapter 43: Crashing the Private Island
Andre’s POVWe managed to fix the penthouse water supply line by using my secondary emergency cistern pumps, but the absolute headache of Marcus’s endless high-society harassment had finally reached a point where I needed to get Avery completely away from the city limits for a few days. My private jet had dropped us off at my secluded tropical island estate in the Bahamas yesterday afternoon, and the morning sun was finally shining perfectly over the white sand beach while Avery sat peacefully on a luxury lounge chair with a book and a cold drink.I was just starting to relax in my swim trunks while pouring us two fresh glasses of fruit juice, but the quiet sound of the ocean waves was suddenly shattered by the massive, rumbling roar of a diesel engine out on the water."Andre, please tell me that is just a standard tourist cruise liner passing by our reef, because if that vessel turns around toward our private bay, I am going to lose m
The Billionaire's Ex-Wife: Declared Dead, Returned Dangerous 004_The Mother’s Visit
Avery’s POVI didn't sleep as much as Marcus told me to. Every time I closed my eyes I could still feel the phantom pressure of the needle in my arm. So I spent most of the night sitting by the window and watching the city lights flicker while I drank tea that had gone cold hours ago.I was just st
The Billionaire's Ex-Wife: Declared Dead, Returned Dangerous 003_The Price of a Suite
Avery’s POVStill, as the elevator doors glided shut on Julian’s stunned face, I felt the slight pressure in my stomach as the lift rose toward the top floor. I just stood there watching the gold numbers climb while I tried to keep my hands from shaking.I reached the penthouse level and stepped ou
The Billionaire's Ex-Wife: Declared Dead, Returned Dangerous 002_The Exit and the Entry
Avery’s POVI walked through the hospital's lobby with my head held high. I could feel the eyes of the receptionist on me as she whispered something into her headset while looking at my wrinkled clothes and the bandage on my arm.I knew she had probably seen the news leak Julian mentioned, and to h
The Billionaire's Ex-Wife: Declared Dead, Returned Dangerous 001_The Blood Debt
Avery’s POVThe fluorescent lights in the recovery room were humming in a way that made my head feel like it was splitting open. I could still feel the cold sting in my vein where the nurse had just finished drawing a pint of my blood.I had been doing this every month for three years because Julia
