All Chapters of THE RETURN OF THE BILLIONAIRE'S EX WIFE: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

THE ULTIMATUM Ivy’s POV Gabe’s ultimatum chilled me, his demand for Rowan’s empire a twisted price for Ethan’s future. Since Maddox got locked up and he showed up, Gabe has been nothing but a thorn in the flesh. For every good he does, it almost like he is waiting for another opportunity to do worse. It irks me. Using my family as a bargaining chip was just too much but it's obvious hos mind is set. I still can't believe I almost fell for this man earlier. The hotel room was dim, Gabe’s voice still ringing through Rowan’s phone, threatening to destroy us unless Douglas Enterprises was handed over. My heart pounded, Ethan safe at home for now, but the media storm over the leaked paternity test burned in my mind. My arm throbbed from Bella’s shot, my body weak from my collapse, and Rowan’s gray eyes blazed with rage. The Kelly documents, my parents’ legacy, were secure, but Gabe and Bella’s schemes threatened everything. I gripped Rowan’s hand, my ring glinting, his love anc

BETRAYAL OF A FRIEND Ivy’s POV Sarah’s confession shattered my trust, her role in Bella’s plan cutting deeper than Gabe’s betrayal. Her living room was dim, Ethan’s toy clutched on the table, a cruel reminder of his absence. My arm throbbed from Bella’s shot, my body weak from my collapse, but the pain of Sarah’s words—“Bella paid me”—burned hottest. Rowan’s gray eyes blazed with fury, e looked like he wanted to pull the trigger on Sarah and I doubted I would stop him. Was our friendship worth that little to her that she was willing to throw it all away for money. Rowan’s hand gripped mine, my ring glinting, anchoring me in the chaos. Noah was safe, but Ethan was with Bella, and the Kelly documents, my parents’ legacy, hung in the balance. My heart pounded, rage and fear colliding. “Why, Sarah?” I demanded, my voice breaking, stepping closer, tears streaming down my face. She sobbed, her hands trembling, her voice shaky. “She threatened my family,” Sarah said, her eyes ple

AFTER THE FLAMES Ivy’s POV The island burned behind us, Gabe’s sacrifice—or betrayal—haunting me as I clutched Ethan and Noah. The boat rocked on the dark ocean, flames lighting the horizon where Bella’s compound had stood. My arm throbbed, my body ached in different places, but Ethan’s warmth and Noah’s small hand in mine grounded me. “I can't believe we actually managed to come out of that barely scathed.” I said trying to break the silence since we escaped. “I can.” Rowan replied taking my hand and I let him entertwine it with his. He really has been my biggest support and rock in this trying time. Rowan’s gray eyes blazed with determination, his arm around me as he pulled me closer, my ring glinting, his love anchoring me in the chaos. The Kelly documents were gone, Bella’s scream for Gabe echoing in my mind, her criminal empire exposed but her fate unclear. But it also makes me wonder what we will do with Sarah. Especially after what she did. “We’re safe,” Rowan said

A FAMILY REBORN Ivy’s POV Bella’s message burned in my mind like a brand: “You’ll never escape my family’s reach.” The words looped, cold and venomous, as I stood in the living room of our beachside home, clutching my phone. My heart thudded, each beat a reminder of the battles we’d fought to get here. But then Rowan’s hand slipped into mine, warm and steady, his fingers lacing through my own. I looked up into his gray eyes, stormy with worry but fierce with love, and felt the weight of our little family—me, him, Noah, and Ethan—anchor me. We’d built this. We’d earned this. No one, not even Bella, could take it away. “Ivy,” Rowan said, his voice low, pulling me from my spiral. “We’re done letting her haunt us. Let’s focus on us. On this.” He gestured toward the open window, where the ocean breeze carried the promise of our future. “The wedding. Just us, Noah, Ethan, and the people who matter.” I nodded, forcing a smile. “You’re right. A quiet beach ceremony. No drama, no ch

THE FINAL STAND Rowan’s POV Bella’s detonator gleamed in her hand, her manic grin slicing through the chaos like a blade. The beach was a warzone—guests screaming, chairs toppled, my guards clashing with her men. My heart pounded as I locked eyes with her, the woman who’d haunted us for too long. Ivy clutched my arm behind me, her green eyes fierce with defiance. Bella thought she’d won, but I’d be damned if I let her destroy my family. “Rowan!” Ivy’s voice cut through the panic. “We have to stop her!” “Got it,” I barked, my focus zeroing in on Bella. She stood near the overturned arch, waving the detonator like a trophy. I sprinted toward her, sand kicking up under my feet. She didn’t see me coming until I tackled her, my shoulder slamming into her waist. We hit the ground hard, the detonator skidding across the sand. Her nails clawed at my face, but I pinned her wrists, my breath ragged. “You’re done, Bella!” I growled, struggling to hold her down. She thrashed, her ey
