Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return : Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

142Alora's POV Time seemed to slow to a halt, as I tried to figure out what to do next. My mind whirled with a million and one things, but none of them seemed even the least bit reasonable. So far, my mind had come up with running away and simply pretending like Cynthia didn't exist and wasn't behind me. None of them would work and I knew it. There was no way I would be able to bolt, I had barely gotten what I came here for, and if I decided to ignore Cynthia, I wouldn't put it past her to cause a scene. A huge one too. “What do you think you're doing?” Cynthia called, her sharp tone pulling me back to the present. “Just explain to me what the hell you're doing here.” I didn't move, neither did I speak, not because I didn't want to, but because I was still torn on what I was going to say. Think, Alora. Think. Unfortunately for me, I didn't even have any time to do that. One minute I was still deliberating on what I was going to do, and the next I was being yanked upwards b

144Cynthia's POV My heels clicked with every step I took, but I couldn't help but be bothered. In fact, I liked how they clicked against the tiles so violently. I was mad, and I wasn't even going to bother hide it. If my peace was going to get constantly disturbed, then so was everyone else's. I slung my bag over my shoulder again, before adjusting my stels. I'd been doing that since I arrived at this damn place, and it wasn't helping. My phone beeped for the umpteenth time, and I let out a groan. Immediately, I ignored it, but my groans only increased as the phone kept on beeping. Who the hell could that be now? I knew who it was, and the fact that I knew,only increased my anger. I pulled out my phone, and just like I suspected, it was him. Henry. I stared at the phone in my hand. It rang and rang and rang, but I couldn't bring myself to pick it up. After so much internal debate, I finally succumbed. “What is it?” I yelled into the phone immediately. “Why are you consta

146Alora's POV A low groan slid past my lips as I slowly peeled my eyes open. I turned, just to come in contact with the soft surface of what seemed like a mattress. It was comfy, but it still did nothing to numb the pain that shot up my spine and entire body. Pain couldn't even begin to describe how bad what I was feeling. My entire body was on fire, and I felt like one wrong move was all it would take for me to finally meet my creator. It was a surprise how I wasn't even dead yet, or was I? Suddenly, the thought of being dead didn't exactly sit well with me, and before I could second guess what I was about to do, I jerked up immediately. Bright light poured into my eyes, and I pressed them shut again. A massive throb formed all around my head, and I couldn't help but let out a gutteral cry. “Easy, Alora.” The sound of my name reached my ears. I recognized the voice immediately, and I would be lying if I said I didn't feel any better. “Please open your eyes. Just take it e

148 Alora's POV Chatters filled my ears from every corner, but I couldn't bring myself to care. I'd always hated noises and really loud places, but I think it was safe to say I'd made a big exception today. Today, I wanted to focus on what all of them were saying. Why? I had two reasons. One, I needed to know what everyone thought about me. Two, it was a welcome distraction from the tornado swirling around in my mind. Things had been a mess since I woke up two weeks ago. When I'd first opened my eyes at the hospital, I honestly wished I didn't, because it looked like everything I'd worked for had gone down the drain. Cynthia and Eliaz's marriage was still flourishing and Henry could be said to have the upper hand. To the public, we were still referred to as the mad couple, even when we were the victims ourselves. I'd wanted to charge out of there and make an irrational decision no doubt, but Fredrick's words were enough to pull me back. She thinks you're dead, Alora. His w

150Alora's POV The last couple of days had been an emotional rollercoaster and even though I didn't like to admit it, it had been an awful lot. When I had come with the plan of going on with the news that had spread that I was dead, I knew there was going to be consequences. What I didn't expect, was for it to blow up in my face the way it did. And worst part, it didn't just affect me. Fredrick was roped into it too. I would never be able to get over the shock that followed me the moment I shook off my disguise in the conference room. So many people didn't believe it, a couple of people whispered the word ghost. Henry didn't see me coming either. The moment his gaze landed on me, he just knew his game was up. If there was one person I missed her presence, it was definitely going to be Cynthia. I honestly felt she was going to be here and I wanted to catch her reaction live, when she figured out I was alive and not dead. Anyway, Eliaz was going to deliver the message to her eve
