As I turned to exit the house, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me. My heart skipped a beat as I spun around, my eyes scanning the empty hallway. "Who's there?" I called out, my voice shaking slightly. The footsteps grew louder, echoing off the walls. I felt a chill run down my spine as I realized I wasn't alone in the house. My mind raced with worst-case scenarios as I called out again, "Who is it? Show yourself!" But there was only silence.

The footsteps stopped right behind me, and I could feel a presence looming over me. I slowly turned around, my eyes wide with fear. And then, I saw her. Rebecca, Tristan's ex-wife, standing in front of me with a cold, calculating gaze. Her eyes seemed to bore into my soul, and I felt a surge of fear.

"What are you doing here?" I whispered, my voice barely audible.

Rebecca's eyes narrowed, her lips curling into a sneer. "I could ask you the same thing, Valerie," she said, her voice dripping with venom. "What are you doing in my house?"

  • The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife   The wake up call

    A sudden, sharp jolt woke me with a start. My eyes snapped open, heart pounding like a drum in my chest. For a moment, I was disoriented, struggling to remember where I was. The soft glow of the morning sun seeped through the curtains, casting gentle light across the room. The familiar scent of brewed coffee floated from the kitchen, anchoring me in the comfort of home. This was my house, with Jordan. This was my life.But that jolt still lingered—like a shock to my soul. My mind raced, trying to grasp what I’d just experienced in that strange, vivid dream. Images flickered behind my eyelids: Khloe’s laughter, the art classes, the healing, the hope. But then, darker memories surfaced—disturbing, unsettling. I saw Jordan’s face twisted in anger, accusing me of murder. His words cut deep: **“You did this. You killed her.”** I remembered the betrayal, the way he had looked at me with disgust and suspicion. His betrayal wasn’t just emotional; it was a fracture that ran to the core of ever

  • The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife   A brighter future

    The morning sunlight gently poured into the small house. I woke up feeling a little stronger. Something inside me told me I was starting to heal. I looked at Khloe sleeping soundly in her bed. Her tiny chest went up and down softly. She looked so peaceful. I smiled and quietly got ready for the day.Today, I decided, I would do something different. I wanted to start fresh. I wanted to find happiness again, not just for Khloe but for myself too. I knew it wouldn’t be easy. Healing takes time, but I was willing to try.First, I made a simple breakfast. Khloe woke up just as I finished. She rubbed her eyes and yawned. “Good morning, Mommy!” she said with a big smile.“Good morning, sweetheart,” I replied. “Today is a new day. We’re going to do something special.”Her eyes lit up with curiosity. “What are we going to do?”I took a deep breath and said, “We’re going to visit the park and maybe feed the ducks. Then, we’ll go for a walk and maybe get some ice cream.”Khloe clapped her hands

  • The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife   A new start

    The days went by slowly. Every day, I tried to do small things to help myself feel better. I knew I needed to be strong for Khloe. She was my little girl and I loved her so much. I wanted to give her a happy home, even if I was feeling sad inside.Every morning, I would wake up and look at Khloe’s bright face. She would smile and say, “Good morning, Mommy!” That made me smile, even when I felt down. I told her, “Good morning, sweetheart. I love you so much.”We started to do small things together. We went to the park, played with her toys, and read stories. I tried to keep her happy, even if my heart still hurt. Sometimes, I would think about Jordan. I wondered if I should call him, or if I should just forget about him. I didn’t know what was right.One day, Tristan came to visit. He sat with me on the porch and looked at me kindly. “Valerie,” he said softly, “you are doing very good. I know it’s hard. But you are strong. You can get through this.”I looked at him and smiled weakly. “

  • The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife   Tears and heartbreak

    I sat on the sidewalk, feeling so cold inside. My heart was hurting very badly. I couldn’t stop crying. My eyes were full of tears. I sobbed loud and hard. I felt like my world was breaking apart. I didn’t know what to do. I just wanted everything to stop.My hands trembled as I grabbed my phone. I didn’t care if people saw me crying. I just needed help. I pressed Tristan’s number and waited. My voice was shaky when I spoke. “Tristan… please come. I need you now.”He answered quickly, his voice full of concern. “Valerie? What’s wrong? Where are you?”My voice cracked. “I... I caught him. I saw Jordan with another woman. He was with her outside. They were very close. He was touching her. I saw everything. I feel so hurt. Please come fast.”I heard him breathe deeply on the other end. “Okay, I’m coming. Stay where you are. I’ll be there soon.”I clutched my chest as I cried more. I looked around at the busy street. Cars went past. People walked by, not knowing I was crying inside. I did

  • The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife   The darkness and the light

    After I saw the shadow and heard the whisper, I felt very scared. I could not move my body. My heart was beating very fast. I wanted to scream, but no sound came out. I looked around the room. Everything was dark. I tried to breathe slowly, but it was hard. My mind was full of fear.Suddenly, I remembered Khloe. I thought about her small face and bright eyes. I had to be strong for her. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I told myself, “I am not alone. I am strong. I will get through this.”Slowly, I reached for my phone. It was right beside me on the bed. My hands shook, but I managed to grab it. I pressed the button to call Tristan. I wanted him to help me. But the line was dead. No sound. Just static. I tried again. Still no sound. I felt my tears come. I was so scared.Then, I saw the shadow again. It moved closer. I could see it better now. It was dark and blurry, like a cloud. I couldn’t see a face or any shape. Just darkness. I wanted to run, but I was frozen. The whisper

  • The Revenge Of The Billionaire's Ex Wife   A sudden fall and a new dawn

    I sat motionless beside Khloe’s hospital bed, my eyes fixed on her tiny chest rising and falling with each labored breath. Her cheeks, once flushed with fever and discomfort, had started to regain some of their natural pink hue. Her bright, curious eyes darted around the room, occasionally landing on her favorite doll, which she held tightly in her small hands. Seeing her like this, so fragile but resilient, tore at my heart in ways I couldn’t fully express.It had been a long, exhausting week. The constant worry, the endless nights by her side, the tears, the prayers—somehow, it all felt worth it now. She was fighting to come back from the brink, and I was doing everything I could to keep her safe. But beneath the surface of my relief, a gnawing anxiety persisted. I knew this was only the beginning of a long recovery, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was still wrong.Tristan had been a pillar of strength. Every day, he visited Khloe, bringing her favorite stories, funn
