All Chapters of The Billionaire's Ex-Wife Wants Revenge : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•Caroline stirred awake as sunlight filtered through the thin lace curtains of the bedroom. She squinted, groaning softly as she felt the dull ache of a restless night settle in her body. Rolling over to the other side of the bed, she reached out, instinctively expecting to find Castiel lying next to her. Her hand met cold, empty white sheets instead.Her eyes fluttered open fully, taking in the perfectly made bed on his side. For a moment, she stared at it, her mind groggy, until realization struck like a slap in the face—he was gone. Again. No note, no goodbye, just his usual disappearing act, off to whatever work now seemed to take precedence over their dwindling relationship.Caroline sat up abruptly, running a hand through her disheveled dark hair. Frustration bubbled up in her chest. This was becoming a pattern—Castiel slipping away, leaving her to wake up alone, the passion between them nothing but a faint memory. She glanced at the clock on the nightstand. It was

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅• Caroline tilted her head, as if considering the question for the first time. “Want?” she echoed, feigning innocence. “Can’t a sister simply drop by for a friendly visit?” Katherine’s laugh was humorless. “You’re about as friendly as a snake.” Caroline grinned, clearly enjoying the tension she was stirring. “Oh, Kathy, you always did have such a flair for dramatics,” she said, standing up and smoothing down her perfectly tailored outfit. “Fine. You want the truth? I came to... offer you some advice.” “Advice?” Katherine repeated, crossing her arms. “I can’t wait to hear this.” Caroline stepped closer, her smile taking on a razor-sharp edge. “Let it go. Whatever little plans you’re cooking up against Castiel and me? Drop them. You’re only going to embarrass yourself.” Katherine’s breath caught, but she recovered quickly, her anger hardening into resolve. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said evenly, though her voice quivered at the edges. “Oh, please,

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•Katherine hadn't even had the chance to pour herself a cup of coffee before Nathan had taken over her apartment. In true Nathan fashion, he'd made himself comfortable instantly, sprawling out on the couch with his jacket thrown carelessly across the armrest and a half-eaten slice of toast on the coffee table. It was as if he'd lived there all along."So, how's life been treating you, Kathy?" Nathan asked, his grin as wide as ever. "Or should I say, how have you been treating life? Because, honestly, it doesn't look like you've been giving it much effort."Katherine shot him a look, though her lips twitched with the hint of a smile. "Do you always have to start the day by insulting my living habits?""Hey, it's called tough love," Nathan said with a shrug. "And besides, if I don't do it, who will?"'Mother and Caroline, obviously.' Katherine thought to herself as she took a sip of her coffee.She sighed, taking a seat on the armchair opposite him. "Life's been... fine,"

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•Nathan groaned. "It's only for a few weeks.""I've told you to stop hosting those parties in your apartment, Nathan. And it's not my fault your landlord had to give you an eviction notice. Maybe living in the streets till you find a new place will finally teach you a lesson."Nathan followed closely behind Katherine as she climbed the stairs to her apartment, his duffel bag slung over one shoulder after he had finally decided to tell her the other reason he was here."It wasn't even a wild party, just a get together." Nathan rolled his eyes. "That may have gotten out of control." Turns out he wasn't here just to show her his work being in an exhibit, but he basically had no where to stay for now due to his party animal behavior.Nathan stopped at the threshold, dropping his bag dramatically at his feet. “Come on, Kathy,” he said with a grin. “Let me stay for a few days. Just a few days. You know Hailey isn’t around, and you’re my last hope.”Katherine leaned against th

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•Katherine stood fuming in the kitchen, her arms crossed tightly over her chest as she glared at Nathan, who was leaning against the counter with his usual carefree smirk plastered across his face. “Do you ever think before you act?” Katherine snapped, her voice sharp with frustration. “You had no right to make me agree to this party. I didn’t want to go.”Nathan tossed a grape into his mouth, chewing lazily as he shrugged. “You didn’t want to go because you’re a hermit,” he said matter-of-factly. “I just helped you break free from your boring little shell. You’re welcome.”Katherine’s jaw tightened, her fingers clenching at her sides. “Nathan, this isn’t funny! Zayn Hogan’s world is... it’s complicated, okay? I don’t want to get wrapped up in something I can’t handle.”Nathan rolled his eyes, pushing off the counter to face her directly. “Oh, please is he a Mafia boss it something? You’ll handle it fine. And it’s not like you’re marrying the guy—you’re just going to a
