All Chapters of Billionaire’s Ex-Wife’s Revenge: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Chapter 61 Lucas Brown ~•~ I felt devastated as I drove Layla and the kids to the airport. They weren’t meant to leave until later in the day, but I couldn’t even protest against it. Layla had made her decision, and it didn’t look like she would change her mind. I already had lunch scheduled with my parents for later. I wanted them to meet the girls. But I guess I would be showing up alone. I wondered why Layla chose to leave early. I asked multiple times, but she refused to tell me what was bothering her. I had a feeling it had something to do with her foster mother. Maybe being in New York was a lot for her. It reopened so many chapters of her life that she thought she had moved past. Even if she didn’t admit to it, I had a clue of how she was feeling. “I’ll see you during the holiday, right?” Lily asked as we got to the airport. “Yes, I can’t wait to come back to New York,” Akira added. “I wish we didn’t have to leave.” It was a good thing that th

Chapter 63 Layla Patel ~•~ Revenge. That was my end goal, right? I knew I needed to do something to hurt Lucas. That way, my plans would become real and in motion. I hired someone to look into his company and provide me with important details. He was about to close a deal with a million-dollar company. But I couldn’t let that happen. It was hard for me to make the decision, but all the memories of how he had hurt me replayed in my head. I decided to do it without thinking twice. Harper Davis. It was a good thing she ran into me at the poolside of the hotel the first time I flew back to New York. She was the daughter of the woman who had helped me find my birth parents. When we met, she told me about her wonderful ideas and how she wanted to work with my company. I had a policy, and I still wasn’t ready to collaborate with any company in New York. But I promised that I would reach out to her soon. It had slipped my mind, but when I saw an opportunity

Chapter 65 Layla Patel ~•~ “What if I like him?” I exhaled heavily as I paced around my room. “Why did I feel that way? Our fingers just brushed against each other, it doesn’t mean anything.” Olivia laughed from the other end of the line. “You’ve been pushing everyone away, maybe it’s time to let someone into your heart.” I rolled my eyes even though she couldn’t see me. “He knows what he’s doing. He’s forcing everything on me. If he had left me alone, I wouldn’t even consider it.” My heart raced as I thought about everything that happened with Kaiden. Was I ready to let my guard down and fall in love again? What was I even scared of? I was so confused. Maybe I shouldn’t have gone to the office. “Layla, take a deep breath,” Olivia advised, and I obliged. “If you’re not ready, you don’t have to act on your feelings.” I wasn’t even sure if I had real feelings for him. We had just been hanging out a lot. I was just confusing our closeness with attraction.

Chapter 67 Lucas Brown ~•~ “What do you want from me? Money?” I asked, my eyes locked onto her. “Why did you do something like this?” The thought about everything was suffocating. This would change so many things. Mostly ruin everything. Her fingers trembled as she clutched the hem of her blouse. “I don’t want money, I just want my child to have a father.” Did she understand the gravity of what she was saying? The weight of what she was doing? Even if we did have sex, why did she let it happen when she knew that I wasn’t sober? I was about to lose it, but I tried my best to keep my cool. We didn’t have any relationship outside work, so what made her think I would want to be a father to her child? Why didn’t she take the morning after pill? My mind was swirling with different thoughts and emotions. “Are you sure about what you are saying? Where is the pregnancy test result?” I asked, rubbing my temple. “I took the test a few weeks ago after I missed my peri

Chapter 69 Layla Patel ~•~ Dinner lasted for a few minutes. I could tell that the girls rushed their food just so they would speak to Lucas. Immediately they were done, they begged me to call him. I tried his number several times, but all the calls went straight to voicemail. What if something was actually wrong? It was unusual for him to ignore my calls. He always answered. Even if he was busy, he would pick up and ask to return the call later. What was going on? After a few more attempts, I gave up and asked the kids to go back to their room. They were upset but couldn’t do anything about it. I also couldn’t do anything about it. A part of me was worried. After they left, I decided to call his house phone. Fortunately enough, one of the housekeepers answered the phone. “Hey, I’ve been trying to reach Lucas. Is everything okay?” “Sure, he’s just having a nap. I’ll have him call you when he’s awake.” “Thank you,” I muttered before hanging up the ca
