Novel & Cerita The Billionaire Ex Wants Me Back

He called again, but softly this time. “It's Harper.” She said and he gulped. He ran his eyes on her body again and let out a chuckle. “It's you. It's really you. How have you been?” He asked nervously. “If you want to have a conversation with me, you have to make an appointment. Have a nice day, Mr. Blackwell.” She said and walked away before he could say anything else. Xavier remained on a spot as he watched her walk away. His ex-wife has returned and she returned as a billionaire. Five years ago she was nothing, she really had nothing. How is this possible? What happened within five years?

“So, he cheated on me. Got cheated on. Thought he was going to be a dad, then wasn’t. Got dumped. And now he’s crawling back?” “Like a roach after the apocalypse, baby. Resilient and unwanted.” I rubbed my temples. “What is happening in my life?” “You’re thriving, that’s what’s happening,” Agnes declared. “While your ex is crying into a tub of expired protein powder, you’re fake-engaged to a billionaire who has arms like Greek sculpture and a face that makes nuns blush.” “That’s not comforting.” “It should be. You’ve got Jace Salvador pretending to love you in front of cameras. Do you know how many women would sell their left kidney for that PR package?”

Merrick, his deep voice resonating, confronted Austin, demanding an explanation. "What's your problem with her?" Merrick questioned, his tone laced with disdain. Austin, well aware of Merrick's status as the popular billionaire, took a deep breath before responding. "She is my ex-fiancée, and I want her back," he declared, determination burning in his eyes. Merrick chuckled, a sinister edge creeping into his voice. "That's not happening," he retorted, his possessiveness evident. "She is mine now." As the tension between the two men escalated, Merrick swiftly gave orders to his security team. "Kick him out of here now," he commanded, his authority unquestionable.

Crystal chandeliers hung from impossibly high ceilings while soft jazz played in the ballroom. Executives. Politicians. Investors. The kind of people who shook hands with million dollar deals. "This place is insane," Zephyr whispered as we walked inside. I laughed. "I've been here twice." "And?" "I still feel underdressed." His fingers intertwined with mine. "You look incredible." Heat rushed to my cheeks. "You have to say that." "I really don't." He leaned closer. "I genuinely can't stop looking at you." I laughed softly. "You flirt too much."

Natalie's POV: Stepping out of the house, I hurried past the front porch and through the gates, my feet carrying me aimlessly down the road. My vision was blurry from the tears that refused to stop. I wasn’t just crying—I was wailing. I fought for this marriage. I endured the whispers, the disapproving glances, the silent judgment of people who thought I didn’t belong in Ethan’s world. But Ethan… he never made me feel like I was beneath him. He never felt like a billionaire to me.

“Tell me. I can handle it.” He took a deep breath, a subtle exhale that seemed to release a fraction of the calm he radiated. “Your precious Alex… he once foiled a weapons deal. A lucrative one. One that would have made me untouchable in the underworld.” He let the words sink in, his eyes narrowing slightly. “So I’m returning the favor.” I swallowed, keeping my face neutral, but my mind raced. “Returning the favor,” I echoed. “Meaning…?” Caleb’s lips curved into a thin, cold smile. “Meaning you and your children are the collateral for debts your husband never paid.”

She blurted out which made Mom flare at her shutting her up. She stood up, "Wish you the best of luck." She said going into her room. I had expected she'd have gotten better since all these while but guess some things just never change. I knew I was introduced as a girl who just come back from the countryside to Henry because of our marriage and so that he wouldn't say I got married to him to seek more alliance between him and my dad's company. I'm the heir to my dad's company and we are the second topping the billionaire chart in the USA but I just wanted to be ordinary to him so he'll love me just the way I want him to.

“But you… I would buy you anything you wanted.” I didn’t want to hear about his ex-girlfriends, but it wouldn’t be fair to ask him not to talk to me about them when not only did he constantly hear about Caleb, but he also had to deal with Caleb coming after his company. But money… that was the furthest thing on my mind. “Alex, that’s not what I want from you. I don't want or need your money." “I know, Bailee. That’s just a small part of what makes you such an incredible woman.”

There was too much competition in the market, and it was difficult to get a hold of potential clients nowadays, considering my products and services were everywhere. I hadn't told Kristine about this. I didn't want her to feel perturbed, especially now that her crazily wealthy, billionaire ex had suddenly returned, chasing after her. I didn't want her to perceive me as a worthless boyfriend who wouldn't stand up to her ex or her, as a matter of fact. I needed to get my finances back on track. Only then would I be able to match up to her ex.
