Serena sat behind her desk, scrolling through her phone, when the trending topic caught her eye again.

It had resurfaced — the same controversy that had flared weeks ago — but this time, it wasn’t the company’s doing.

Her brows drew together. Who would spend that kind of money to buy the topic back up?

Whoever it was, they had unintentionally done her a favor.

The higher her name climbed in public view, the sharper the ridicule became — but the greater the contrast would be once her true identi

  • The Billionaire’s V1rgin Ex-Wife II   Chapter 48 : How dare that bitch Octavia end the call?

    On the other end of the headset, Isla continued shouting Octavia’s name.“Octavia! Octavia, can you hear me?”There was no response.Then Isla realised what had happened.That woman had taken off the headset.Worse, she'd ended the call.The colour in Isla's face changed instantly. She slammed her palm against the table so hard that the glasses scattered with a sharp clink.“How dare that bitch Octavia end the call? Who does she think she is?”The group of wealthy young people gathered at Chiara’s villa looked up.The spacious living room was still filled with the remnants of their night of partying—half-empty glasses on the coffee table, music humming faintly from the speakers, and expensive cushions thrown carelessly across the sofas.Instead of taking Isla's anger seriously, several of them burst into laughter.“Isla, why are you getting so worked up?” one of them teased. “Octavia probably took the headset off by accident.”“Exactly. It’s only Serena.”Another person leaned back la

    Alexander had already left the Vanderbilt family home.Once he was inside the car, he reached for the towel lying beside him and slowly wiped the damp marks from his clothes.Jonathan sat in the front passenger seat. He caught a glimpse of Alexander through the rear-view mirror and immediately looked away.Alexander's expression was cold and unreadable.Jonathan didn't dare ask what had happened.Instead of going to the Vanderbilt Group, Alexander instructed the driver to take him to Manston Manor.He thought Serena would still be there.But when he arrived, the servant informed him that she had already gone to the company.Alexander's gaze darkened slightly.He remembered that Wes's scandal was still spreading rapidly online. Serena had been dealing with one problem after another lately, and he knew she had barely had time to rest.Still, he wanted to see her.More than anything, he wanted to see her now.Especially after Frederick had struck him with a teacup earlier.The dull ache

  • The Billionaire’s V1rgin Ex-Wife II   Chapter 46 : ...the wounds that had never truly healed were beginning to bleed again.

    Marken's alter ego slowly ran his fingers over the pinpricks scattered across his arms.The marks were densely packed, some barely faded while others remained dark against his skin. Years of injections had left behind a frightening map of tiny wounds, a grim reminder of everything his body had endured.His fingers lingered over them.“After being experimented on for so long, the one thing that kept me going was Serena.”His voice was strangely calm.“Alexander, you're my brother. You became the heir of the Vanderbilt family, and you married the woman I loved. Do you think that's fair?”He paused, his eyes darkening.“Besides, Serena originally loved me. She married you to save the Morales family.”Alexander's gaze settled on the exposed arm before him.The sight of those countless pinholes made his expression subtly change.The corner of Marken's alter ego's mouth slowly curved upwards.Since Marken had saved Serena the last time and deliberately fallen from the car, his personality h

  • The Billionaire’s V1rgin Ex-Wife II   Chapter 45 : As though he were waiting for the first domino to fall.

    Jonathan was already waiting downstairs.The morning light streamed through the tall windows of the sitting room, falling in pale strips across the polished marble floor. The house was unusually quiet, as though the entire estate were holding its breath.The moment Alexander appeared, Jonathan straightened and respectfully handed him a document.“Mr. Vanderbilt, this was delivered overnight. It’s Marken’s will.”Alexander took it without comment.Jonathan continued, his expression serious.“The fifteen per cent of Mr Cornelius Vanderbilt’s shares came with a condition attached before they could be transferred. Marken had to be dead. Since he’s still alive, those fifteen per cent belong to him.”He paused.“And today, he intends to return to the Vanderbilt Group as a senior executive.”Alexander’s eyes remained on the document.The Vanderbilt Group had experienced considerable turmoil in the past, but Alexander still held enough shares to retain absolute control. Even if he lost fiftee

  • The Billionaire’s V1rgin Ex-Wife II   Chapter 44 : Are you happy that he’s back?

    The auction hall erupted into chaos.The elegant murmur of conversation that had filled the room only moments earlier had dissolved into a storm of whispers. Guests leaned towards one another, exchanging startled looks as they tried to make sense of what they had just witnessed.The reaction was particularly intense among the families with close ties to the higher-ups.When they saw Marken's alter ego standing openly in the middle of the hall, shock and unease flashed across their faces.Everyone remembered the experimental results Marken had produced back then.Those results had been highly coveted, and the higher-ups had never truly believed that Marken was dead. There had been quiet efforts to track him down and uncover his whereabouts.But no one had expected him to reveal himself so suddenly.And certainly not like this.His appearance had caught everyone completely off guard.Serena had already fled the hall.She pushed through the doors and stepped outside, the cool night air s

    Lawrence reached over and gently touched Chiara’s head, but his attention was drawn to the unusual look in Lucca’s eyes.“Lucca?”Lucca leaned back against the sofa without answering.He quietly rolled his phone between his thumb and forefinger, his lowered lashes casting a faint shadow across his eyes. For once, the usual carefree expression was absent from his face.He slowly got to his feet.“Leave the phone.”Lawrence’s voice came again, firmer this time.Lucca glanced at him, then smiled lightly.“Lawrence, you’re awfully serious tonight.”He placed the phone on the table and headed upstairs without another word.Chiara, however, seemed to have forgotten about Lucca entirely. She continued clinging to Lawrence’s arm, her fingers lightly shaking his shoulder.“Lawrence, I had Wind go after Serena tonight. This time, it has to succeed. There can’t be another failure.”The warmth disappeared from Lawrence’s expression.His face immediately became stern.“Didn’t I tell you not to act

    The house was cloaked in silence when Marken stirred awake at midnight. The faint hum of the refrigerator filled the dim kitchen as he quietly moved about, his shadow stretching long across the tiled floor. He opened the pantry, took out a few simple ingredients, and began to cook. The sizzle of oi

    An hour later, Colton and Hugo arrived at the hospital.The air in the room was thick with antiseptic and grief. Outside, the city’s lights blurred against the rain-speckled window, their faint shimmer reflecting across Alexander’s pale, unreadable face. He sat motionless, elbows on his knees, eyes

    The drop was dizzying, the bottom swallowed by mist. Her stomach twisted violently as the wind tore at her hair and clothes—until, with a jarring snap, a parachute burst open above her.From behind her came a voice—low, deep, and far too calm. Marken’s alter ego.“Serena,” he said, his tone drippin
