All Chapters of My Ex-wife is a Hidden Heiress!: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Grocery Run-In Valenticia’s POV~I pushed my cart through the grocery store, with the wheels squeaking on the floor. It was Saturday morning, and I needed to stock up for the week. Nana was home, feeling better but still on her meds, so I wanted to get her favorite soup ingredients and some fresh fruit. The store was busy, with people grabbing items and kids running in the aisles. I checked my list—carrots, potatoes, apples, bread and headed to the section of the store that had those, whilst humming to myself.As I picked up a bag of apples, weighing them in my hand, I heard a familiar voice. “Valenticia? Is that you?” I turned and saw Dimitri, standing by the lettuce stand with his mother, Maria. My heart skipped. I hadn’t seen him since we bumped into each other at Willow Creek when I picked up Nana. His mother held a basket, and he pushed a cart half-full of groceries.“Hi, Dimitri,” I said, forcing a smile. “Maria, good to see you.” My voice sounded stiff, and I gripped my cart

Double Date Disaster Valenticia’s POV~Life felt lighter after my dinner with Dimitri. The kiss outside Mario’s lingered in my mind, creating a mix of excitement and caution. I spent my days balancing Clawford’s sensor project and caring for Nana, who was settling into our routine at home. Work kept me busy, the meetings, emails, and production checks, but Dimitri’s texts were a bright spot. “Thinking of you,” he’d write, or “How’s Rosanna?” I’d smile, texting back about my day or Nana’s latest doctor visit. It felt good, like a small step toward something new, though I wasn’t sure what.One evening, as I helped Nana with her tea, my phone buzzed. It was Dimitri. “Hey, Val. Dinner again? Saturday, 7 p.m.? There’s a place called Bella’s, great food.”I hesitated, stirring Nana’s tea. Our last dinner had ended with a kiss, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready for more. But talking with him had been easy, and I was curious. “Sounds good,” I texted back. “See you there.”Nana looked up, her

Drunken Night Stefan’s POV~The day at work had been rough, and I couldn’t shake the image of Valenticia smiling with Dimitri at the work event. His kiss on her cheek, her easy laugh, it all stuck with me, twisting my gut. I left the office early, telling Rachel I needed to clear my head. Instead of going home to Natasha, I ended up at a small bar downtown called Rusty’s, its neon sign flickering in the evening light. I didn’t plan to drink much, just needed a break from my thoughts, but one beer turned into three, then a whiskey, and soon I was sitting alone at the counter, my head foggy.I stared at my glass, thinking about Valenticia. Her texts from Dimitri, the coffee he sent her, the way she looked happy with him, it all hit me hard. Natasha was waiting at home, planning our wedding, but I couldn’t stop wondering if I’d made the wrong choice. Our night together, when I froze and said Valenticia’s name, haunted me. I hadn’t gone through with it, and now Valenticia was moving on.

The Invitation With FangsValenticia’s POV~I first heard the news while I was in my office. I was reading through some documents when Lena pushed the door open. She looked nervous, and her eyes were wide in a way that made me look up right away.“Val… have you checked the news today?” she asked.“No,” I said. “Why?”She held out her tablet. “It’s everywhere. Everyone is talking about it. Stefan is getting married.”The words strangely hit me. I froze. For a moment, I thought I didn’t hear her well. I blinked and looked at the screen. There it was—Stefan, smiling stiffly next to Natasha. The headline said they were finally announcing their wedding date after months of partnership.My stomach tightened. I tried to breathe normally as Lena watched me carefully. “Are you okay?”“I’m fine,” I said quickly. “It’s just news. I don’t care.”But that was a lie. The moment I said the words, my chest squeezed so tight I had to look away from the screen. Seeing his face next to hers made someth

Flames and AftershocksValenticia’s POV~The moment Stefan ran out of the hall, the entire room exploded with noise. People gasped. Some stood. Some whispered loudly. And some started recording with their phones, like this was some kind of show.I stayed in my seat for a few seconds, frozen. I could not believe what I just saw. He ran. He actually ran in the middle of his own wedding. For a moment, I didn’t understand why.Then someone near me shouted, “He left his own bride!”Another man said, “Is he crazy?”A woman added, “The company is on fire! Didn’t you hear the announcement?”And then more voices filled the space.“Natasha is furious!”“He ruined the ceremony!”“What kind of groom runs away?”“There must be something big happening!”All the whispers rushed around me like a fast current.My heart started beating too fast. I felt hot and cold at the same time. I stood up from my chair without thinking. I pushed past the people blocking my way. My steps felt shaky, my breath felt
