Semua Bab Divorced By My Ex, Married To A Billionaire.: Bab 71 - Bab 79

Alexis .It had been a week since that night when the name Julie slipped from Pierce’s lips in his sleep and clawed its way into my brain.And I hated that it still bothered me. I rolled up my sleeves as I flipped the eggs, the morning sunlight pouring in through the tall kitchen windows. Pierce always said he loved when I made breakfast, but he never actually ate much. Probably because he was always running out the door to handle things I wasn’t allowed to know about.As I glanced outside, a black crow caught my eyeIt perched on the old oak tree just beyond the driveway, its beady eyes locked directly on me. It didn’t move or blink. It just gawked. That's so creepy. I heard footsteps descending the stairs, I turned to see Pierce entering the kitchen, crisp and gorgeous in a white shirt and dark blue pants.He smirked when he saw me. "Morning, beautiful.” He greeted.I barely had

Alexis.Blood fills my mouth. It's warm, metallic tasting and thick. How do vampires enjoy this? I spit it out, coughing as my head throbs like it’s been split open. My vision blurs, but I manage to lift it slowly until my eyes land on Marissa.“Wake up, you stupid slut,” she barks.It takes me a second to register the weight pulling at my arms. My wrists are bound. Rope digs into my skin. My legs won’t move as I’m tied to a chair.I scan the room, and my heart shatters. In the corner, Sierra is curled protectively around Luna, shielding and rocking her. They’re both shaking. Luna’s tiny face is hidden, and Sierra's frozen, just like she always gets when fear takes overBut even as she's trembling she’s got enough strength to keep my little sister’s eyes away from this nightmare.I hate seeing her like that. It should’ve been just me.“If it’s me you wanted, there was no need to bring them,” I say, spittin

Alexis.When I came to, everything was blurry.My nose and mouth is covered with an oxygen mask. The ambulance rocks beneath me, sirens wailing somewhere in the distance. A nun leans over me, gently buckling the straps across my aching body. Her touch is gentle but every nerve screams in protest.I blink hard, trying to clear my vision.Outside the open ambulance doors I see Pierce .He’s standing a few feet away, lifting something small and round almost like a soccer ball by its hair. There's Maxwell, wait a damn minute is that a samurai sword?! I squint my open eye, but can't make out much. My eye flutters, and the pull of exhaustion drags me back under.Nero’s face comes into focus as he leans over me.“Hey, you’re awake. How’re you holding up?”His voice is soft. “Like I got hit by a bus. Twice,” I rasp. My throat feels like sandpaper.I shift, pain jolting through every inch of me.

Alexis I wanted to restart my life.Not because I wasn’t grateful for what I’d been given. But I needed something that was mine. Like my own business.Practice law, no thanks. After what happened with my last relationship. I couldn’t stand the thought of stepping back into that world.Maybe something simple that would make me happy.A café with Sierra sounded perfect.We’d been scouting locations all week. A cozy little spot facing a calm, busy neighborhood. The kind of place where people lingered over coffee and gossip.“What about this place? It looks so cozy,” Sierra grinned as we sat at dinner, scrolling through listings.I glanced at the screen. It had big windows, decent foot traffic, and a cute little patio.“I like it. Find out what the rent is. We’ll take it.”I said. “Yay,” she squealed excitedly. While she went to shower, I did the dishes, humming to myself.The doorbell rang, my heart skipped. Every time it went off, I hoped it was him.The house was massive, maybe too b

AlexisI stirred the porridge slowly, the thick mixture bubbling as Sierra leaned on the counter, munching an apple and watching me with a smile.“You seem so happy. Looks like Pierce’s pheromones must’ve done wonders,”she said.I chuckled, shaking my head. “It’s not that. I’m just happy he smiled. Last night, he ate like he hadn’t touched food in days.” I paused, feeling a soft warmth bloom in my chest. “He’s grieving, but to see him slowly coming back to himself it’s special. He’s learning to love himself again.”“You’re an amazing person, Lexi. You know that, right?”She quipped. I added a squeeze of lemon juice into the pot, letting the tart scent lift as the porridge simmered. Stepping back, I wiped my hands and turned to her. “How did it go with Cassie?”I asked. Sierra bit into her apple. “Oh, she freaked. She totally lost it when someone sent her Wayne’s head and his little dick taped on his
