Novel & Cerita The Billionaire's Ex Got Someone Better

This child was a blessing to make things right again. She walked weakly in the serene environment of the estate. This estate was usually quiet because it was harbored by the richest people in California. With Zephyr being the number one richest business tycoon, this was definitely his standard. It was so crazy how she had been here twice just today. First in the morning and now in the evening. Nova increased her steps, excited at how this news would make Zephyr happy.

Girls who threw themselves at me because they wanted the fame, the money, the association with Kevin Laurent, F1 champion. None of them wanted me. I exhaled sharply, the sound lost beneath the rush of water. Matilda's face flashed through my mind unbidden, and I felt my chest tighten painfully. I had thought she was different. I had thought stupidly, naively — that maybe she actually saw me. That maybe she cared about more than the headlines and the lifestyle. That I'd found someone who wanted Kevin, not Kevin Laurent the racer. I'd been wrong. She'd chosen Nikolai. Of course she had. Nikolai Cross, heir to an empire — now the chairman of Cross Energy, why wouldn't she choose him?

By the time I tried to reach her, someone had already buried her, someone who wasn’t me. I wiped my tears with the back of my hand and forced myself to focus, flipping through her words as if they might give me back the mother I had lost and hated. Then something stopped me. A line, sharp and unsettling: ‘Being the wife of a billionaire isn’t as beautiful and heavenly as others think.’ My breath caught. My mother… married a billionaire? I felt the sting of betrayal tighten in my chest. After leaving me behind in Russia twice, after the absence, the grief, she had gone on to marry a billionaire in New York?

Tailored charcoal suit, dark hair perfectly styled, that commanding presence that made people naturally defer to him. Beside his empty chair sat a woman with honey-blonde hair swept into an elegant updo. She wore a emerald dress that probably cost more than most people's monthly rent and watched Richard with obvious pride. Lena. My stomach tightened but I forced myself to breathe slowly. She was beautiful in that effortless way some women managed, as if she had woken up perfect. The woman Richard had left me for. The woman worth destroying a marriage and rejecting a child. Richard began his presentation and I had to admit he was good. His voice carried authority and his slides were polished.

He looked out the window at the passing scenery, feeling nothing but a rising sense of resentment within him. He had not expected to have returned to this city so soon, especially after what happened last time. But unfortunately, his presence here was prompted by something that was beyond his ability to influence. A few days ago, just as he had been making preparations on how he would take over the family company, the members of the Grant family had received a very shocking news. Their eldest son, and his older brother Noah had announced to the family that he had now acquired a wife.

As a result, among the few people, only Daxton didn’t get drunk and took care of them all night. While watching financial news and browsing the latest hot topics on his phone, he stumbled upon the headlines about Vanessa and Luca. "Cortex's President Brings Home the Kensington Heir: An Overnight Bender!" "Kensington Heir Spotted Again with Young Female President: Lovebirds or Trouble for Ness Corp?" "Cortex's Female President, a Single Mother, Caught in Secret Overnight Rendezvous with Engaged Kensington Heir: Relationship Heating Up?" The buzz surrounding Luca and Vanessa had exploded! ***

I said even though I was completely starving and in that moment my stomach growled, Parrish smirked at me and I rolled my eyes. “I know a place, has the best steak – ” “Steak?” I threw him a questioning look. “What’s the matter?” he threw back at me. “You don’t think eating a steak right now is a bit too extravagant?” I shot at him. “I’m a billionaire now Jessica, I can do whatever I want.” I rolled my eyes for the umpteenth time and even a couple more times after that even while we were seated at this fancy restaurant with a golden chandelier in the middle, and our table draped with expensive linen sheets and the waiters walked around with an ipad as the menu.

He also owns different clubs, hotels, and houses around the world. I Stare at Eva shocked, finally understanding her reaction. "I think the man is a freaking billionaire." "I think he is." I knew he had money, but surely not this kind of money. I clicked on the first article and I immediately regretted my decision when I started reading. The headline read 'ELIGIBLE BACHELOR AND HOLLYWOOD PRINCESS' They looked cosy in the pictures which made me very mad.

But this woman would not insult Katherine, not in my presence. “Well, I could sue you for this…” there she goes. I was about to open my mouth when, “but I won’t, just because you promise me that your friend here will get everything done.” That’s more like it. “But, that doesn’t mean I’m happy with the whole situation. I barely have any money left, and this might cost me a fortune.” There it is again. And… I just remembered where I had seen her. She is Vanessa Donovan, ex-wife of the billionaire Alex Donovan. Strange to see her here and with no money at all. He must have kept everything to himself.

I cupped my chin and then he gripped my elbow with wide eyes. "That is great. Wh-" "I thought of it but its like so huge. Like it's really huge" The smile slowly wiped from my face as he looked me dead in the eye. "Your husband, he's a billionaire. Isn't he and he has the exposure. You have the exposure, Aal. It's going to hit and it's going to be amazing" He said and my voice died in the silence of my thoughts. "See?" He shrugged his shoulders before backing off, yet till somewhat close.
