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
The Billionaire’s V1rgin Ex-Wife II Chapter 43 : Isn’t he dead? Did the Vanderbilt brothers really fall for the same woman?
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 Billionaire’s V1rgin Ex-Wife II Chapter 42 : I’ve always felt that Chiara doesn’t look much like the rest of you.
Meanwhile, back at Broadway Bar, Chiara and her group were still gathered in the private room, chatting and laughing as though nothing unpleasant had happened.The music outside was muted by the thick walls, leaving only the soft clinking of glasses and bursts of laughter inside.Becca reached across the table and took Chiara’s hand.“Don’t worry. I only gave her a little punishment to make her panic.”Chiara lowered her eyes, a faint smile touching her lips.“Becca, thank you.”“Why are you thanking me, Chiara? We’re friends.”As Becca said it, she lowered her gaze and stole a shy glance at Renzo.He was sitting nearby, his features calm and composed, seemingly paying no attention to their conversation.Becca quickly looked away, but the faint flush on her cheeks betrayed her.---The police station was already surrounded by a large crowd.News of Wes’s arrest had spread through the internet at lightning speed.He had only recently won a major award and was currently one of the most
The Billionaire’s V1rgin Ex-Wife II Chapter 41 : There’s no need to trouble yourself, Ms. Morales.
Becca didn’t dare say another word. She had seen Alexander in Italy before, and the memory was enough to make the color drain from her face. Fear flickered in her eyes as she glanced at him, then at Serena.Still, she couldn’t resist throwing Serena one last hateful look before quickly following the others inside.Serena watched them disappear, but the uneasiness Renzo’s words had left behind remained.Mr. Vanderbilt, I hope you won’t be too busy in a few days.What exactly had he meant?Before she could think about it any further, her attention shifted to the hand resting on her shoulder.Alexander’s hand.Several angry blisters covered his fingers and the back of his hand. Some had already begun to swell, while others looked irritated from being left untreated. Against his fair skin, they appeared particularly noticeable.Serena’s brows knitted together.She couldn’t help worrying that his beautiful hands might be permanently scarred.Alexander waited until everyone had disappeared
The Billionaire’s V1rgin Ex-Wife II Chapter 40 : If I get drunk later, call Serena for me.
Serena’s fingers stilled.This was exactly what she had been doing lately—keeping her distance, watching, waiting.She had always been rational. This period was a test for Alexander. If he truly couldn’t change, then there was no reason for them to stay together.Yet somehow, seeing him like this only made her feel worse.“About earlier, I’m sorry.”“It doesn’t matter to me. You’ve always thought I was that kind of person anyway.”His words struck her harder than she expected.Before Serena could respond, the study door opened from the inside. Jonathan stepped out, his expression respectful.“Ms. Morales, let me take you back.”Serena lowered her eyes. “But…”“Mr. Vanderbilt is in a meeting. It will take several hours, and he’ll be very busy for the next few days.”She hesitated, but there was nothing more she could say.In the end, Serena had no choice but to leave.After Jonathan dropped her off, he returned to the study at Manston Manor. He still couldn’t understand what had happen
The Billionaire’s V1rgin Ex-Wife II Chapter 25 : Is it Serena calling?
The hospital corridor was cloaked in silence, broken only by the faint hum of fluorescent lights and the soft ticking of a wall clock. The sterile air smelled faintly of antiseptic and rain-soaked asphalt from the night outside.Renzo Reinaldi stood beside Alexander Vanderbilt, his hands s
The Billionaire’s V1rgin Ex-Wife II Chapter 20 : If no one comes to get you later, call me. I’ll come back for you.
The roar of the helicopter’s blades cut through the night, whipping the air into a frenzy. Below, chaos unfolded—vehicles twisted in heaps of metal, flames licking the dark sky, and the stench of burning fuel rising like smoke from hell itself.From the open hatch, Alexander leaned forward, scannin

The Billionaire’s V1rgin Ex-Wife II Chapter 15 : Alexander, what are you looking for?
The music in the underground club was deafening—bass pounding against the ribcage, lights flashing like the pulse of a fever dream. Through the swirl of smoke and noise, Marken’s alter ego sat down beside Serena, his expression laced with mockery.“So,” he drawled, his voice almost drowned by the he
