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 39 : She needs to feel like she wronged me.
Autumn had settled in quietly, but tonight the sky seemed intent on making itself known.Rain lashed against the world in relentless sheets, the heaviest storm of the season. Weather alerts had already been issued across several districts, warning of flooding and dangerous conditions. The sound of rain drumming against rooftops and stone pathways created a steady, almost hypnotic rhythm.Serena let out a soft sigh as she stepped out of the car, her gaze lifting toward the softly lit hot spring retreat ahead.So this was where Alexander had brought her.“Last time, during the hike, there was a natural hot spring you didn’t get to enjoy,” Alexander said, his tone unusually gentle. “So I found this place. You can soak, relax… and afterward, dinner’s already arranged.”The private hot spring area was secluded and elegant—just large enough to feel intimate without being confined. Clear mineral water shimmered beneath a thin veil of rising steam, and the surrounding stonework blended seamle

But the place Serena had in mind wasn’t Le Châteauesque Manor.It was the high school where she had first met Marcella.Saturday sunlight spilled lazily across the campus, warming the red-brick buildings and casting long shadows over the basketball court. The air buzzed with youthful energy—laughter, sneakers squeaking against polished ground, the rhythmic thud of a bouncing ball.Derek had a game today.Serena paused at the entrance and turned slightly. “Wait here,” she told Alexander.He didn’t answer, but she didn’t wait for one either. She stepped inside.The moment she reached the court, the scene unfolded before her in vivid motion—Derek cutting across the court like a blade, fast and precise. With a sharp pivot, he intercepted the ball, spun past a defender, and launched a clean three-pointer.The ball sliced through the air——and dropped perfectly into the net.Cheers erupted instantly, especially from the girls gathered at the sidelines. Their voices rose in excitement, brigh
The Billionaire’s V1rgin Ex-Wife II Chapter 37 : I want to take you back.
Back in the car, Serena finally turned on her phone.Several unread messages from Alexander lit up the screen.[My head is still dizzy, but I have an international meeting tonight.][Are you planning to ignore me forever?][Since Grandpa passed away, you haven’t visited his grave. How about tomorrow?]Her fingers paused.She could ignore the first two. She had been doing that for days already.But the last message pressed down on her chest like a weight.Tomorrow was Saturday.After a long moment, Serena typed a short reply.[10 a.m. tomorrow.]On the other end, Alexander had assumed the vibration was just another system notification. He glanced at his phone absentmindedly—then froze.The documents in his hand nearly slipped from his fingers.He stared at her reply for several seconds, as if afraid it might disappear if he blinked.[Okay!]The single word looked almost childish on his screen.He immediately followed up.[I know it wasn’t you who did that to Grandpa. I was just too ang
The Billionaire’s V1rgin Ex-Wife II Chapter 36 : I admit, I was curious how you could stand him.
Marken’s alter ego—the man seated before him—tilted his head back with an easy confidence, exhaling smoke from a half-finished cigarette. The gesture was almost lazy, but the look in his eyes betrayed a sharpened edge, the kind honed through years of surviving chaos. He was nothing like the Marken Vanderbilt that the world remembered.The original Marken had been refined, soft-spoken, almost scholarly in demeanor. This man, however, radiated danger—a creature reborn from the ashes of death.Marken had been presumed dead for nearly seven years. Renzo had spent months quietly investigating the Vanderbilt family, confirming rumors that someone had been posing as Marken’s surviving heir. But when he finally saw this man in person—so strikingly similar to Alexander Vanderbilt—it left little doubt.Marken Vanderbilt was alive.Or at least, a version of him was.The alter ego smirked faintly, picking up his wine once more and letting the liquid roll against the rim before taking a sip. He st
The Billionaire’s V1rgin Ex-Wife II Chapter 35 : Mrs. Reinaldi, have you still not found your sister?
After hanging up, Alexander stepped into his Manhattan villa. The house was quiet, the kind of silence that felt almost accusatory. He went straight to his room, showered under scalding water until the steam fogged the mirror, and then—without hesitation—blocked all of Chiara’s phone numbers.When he finally collapsed onto the bed, his hand instinctively reached toward the other side, as if expecting someone to be there. But his fingers met only the cool, empty sheet. A faint ache tugged at his chest. He brushed his fingertips over his lips—still faintly remembering the taste of rain and Serena.At least he’d kissed her tonight. For that alone, getting drenched had been worth it.But sleep refused to come. After a few minutes of tossing in bed, he got up, restless, and went back into the bathroom. He turned the water tap to the coldest setting and stepped into the bathtub. The icy shock bit into his skin, a punishment and a release all at once. He stayed there the whole night, submerg
The Billionaire’s V1rgin Ex-Wife II Chapter 14 : do you still want to go back to Alexander?
Louis stumbled to his feet, unsteady from too much alcohol and too little dignity. The dim light of the nightclub glinted off the half-empty glasses littering the bar counter. He looked ready to bolt when Alexander’s cold voice cut through the pounding bass.“You embezzled company funds,” Alexander
The Billionaire’s V1rgin Ex-Wife II Chapter 13 : Ms. Reinaldi… it’s me. I’m the one who wrote to you —
The soft hum of fluorescent lights filled the silence of the Vanderbilt Group’s executive floor. Papers were stacked neatly across Alexander’s mahogany desk, their sharp corners reflecting the sterile glow of the lamp. The clock on the wall ticked past midnight.When Chiara quietly pushed open the
The Billionaire’s V1rgin Ex-Wife II Chapter 12 : Don’t worry, if he ever wrongs you, I’ll deal with him myself. Don’t let anyone mistreat you.
Louis was still in hiding, every nerve on edge as he scoured for someone—anyone—who could help him disappear. The walls felt like they were closing in on him, the air heavy with paranoia. Each sound outside the shuttered window made him flinch.When word reached him that Marken’s alter ego might be
The Billionaire’s V1rgin Ex-Wife II Chapter 11 : I’m taking her away.
Marilyn’s tears had long dried, leaving behind only the dull sting of exhaustion. The words Vincent had thrown at her still echoed faintly, their sharp edges blunted now by numbness. Cruel words always hurt—but only for a moment. What lingered afterward was the silence, the hollow ache of disappoin
