(Xavier pov)

I didn't turn around to see Beatrice. I couldn't have cared less whether Mira's car was still in my driveway or if she was halfway across the city.

The noise behind me got less and less important. The only thing in my whole universe was that woman standing in the middle of the pavement.

Nichole.

She didn't move at all, she had her arms wrapped around herself. The moonlight was shining on the strands of her hair, but she was still.

It seemed like she was really trying to gather

  • My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes    Chapter 116-The Backdoor Protocol

    POV: XavierThe blue light from the server screen lit up Nichole’s face as I stood right behind her, with my chest pressing against her back as we both stared at the open files. Raymond was slumped in the corner of the room, crying softly into his wet hands, but none of us were looking at him."We are inside, Xavier," Silas said as he let out a breath he had been holding for a long time. His fingers hovered over the keys like he was afraid to touch them and break the spell. "The backdoor Raymond left in the system was completely open and the syndicate’s main servers think we are their highest security clearance.""Can they see us?" I asked, placing my hands on the desk with my heart was thumping against my ribs curious of his response."No," Silas said as he looked up at me, and for the first time, there was no hate in his eyes. Just a deep, human relief. "The code is old and it bypasses their tracking systems entirely. We are like ghosts in their machine."Nichole turned her head t

  • My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes    Chapter 115-The Father’s Legacy

    POV: XavierThe heavy steel door of my father's private vault sat open and the air inside was freezing and smelled of old paper and copper. I held a black leather binder in my hands, my fingers were shaking against the cardboard cover and inside were decades of handwritten letters, wire transfers, and contracts.My father was not the man I thought he was and he was not a victim of the syndicate but rather he was one of the men who built it."He lied to me," I said as my voice became small and rough in the quiet room. "Every single story he told me when I was a boy. It was all a lie. He did not fight them, Nichole but rather he gave them their first bank accounts and sowed the seeds of this entire nightmare just to make his first billion."Nichole stepped close to me. She did not look at the papers but looked at my face as she reached out and wrapped her warm hand around my wrist, squeezing it hard. Her touch felt like the only real thing in the room."Xavier, look at me," she said s

    POV: NicholeThe red alarm horn kept wailing from the ceiling of the penthouse. The city lights below us blurred through the glass window. I did not look at Silas anymore, and I did not look at the flashing server towers. I pulled my phone from my pocket as Raymond’s face was still on the live news feed, crying fake tears on the courthouse steps. He thought he could use me as a shield to save himself and he thought I was just a quiet victim who would stay hidden in the dark.He was wrong."Thorne," I said, my voice cutting through the noise of the alarm. "Give me a live patch to the main media stream. Right now."Thorne looked at me from behind his rifle as his eyebrows shot up. "Nichole, this is a hot zone and we have a hit team coming up the elevator.""Do it," I demanded as I stepped out from behind Xavier’s shoulder. "Raymond is telling the world that Xavier kidnapped me and If the public believes him, the police will shoot us when we walk out the front door. I am ending his l

    POV: NicholeThe money stayed in the account and the numbers on the screen did not disappear. I sat at the kitchen table with Xavier, our hands clasped tight between the laptop and the coffee cups. We did not speak for five minutes but we just watched the digital ledger balance hold steady."We have to follow the wire," I said with my voice low. "Money always leaves a footprint, Xavier, even if it comes from a ghost."Xavier nodded as his thumb rubbed the back of my hand."Kael left a decryption tool on the flash drive, so let us see where the routing codes anchor."My fingers flew across the keyboard as I stripped away the first layer of security on the transaction. It was a shell corporation called Albatross Holdings. I dug deeper, breaking through three more fake digital wallsmThen, finally, an address popped up on the map. It was a high-rise office building in the northern financial district. The name on the lease was Silas."He is playing with us," Xavier muttered as his jaw

    (Xavier POV)The door of the safehouse locked with a click when Thorne left the room, it was finally silent. In darkness, the background noise of fans running through server racks was what was audible. The sound didn't really matter. I just let out a deep breath after Nichole pulled up and sat beside me on the mattress. Her hands were in my shirt and squeezing tightly.We were absolutely silent and were just in each other's arms, surrounded by darkness, while Lily peacefully breathed a bit too loud for a newborn. That small and dingy room was our sole refuge which at the moment, was all we could rely on.In fact, after Nichole got to sleep, the only thing I did was slowly stand up since my leg was stiff, then I walked back towards the kitchen counter where the computer screen light was still on.The only thing I wanted was to find another thing we had forgotten.Thence and forth I was flipping through the files we had gotten from the park ambush and I was doing nurse anya's digital si

    Pov: NicholeKael, the man with the scarred neck, ushered us down a flight of stairs made of cracked concrete. He claimed that his real name was Kael rather than Victor and that he had used a fake name at the docks as a test. We descended into a heavily fortified steel bunker underground and the chamber was an environment leftover from the Cold War. One could smell damp earth and old electronics plus rows and rows of blinking green computer screens illuminating the dark room while showing complicated maps of the global banking networks.Without stopping, Kael took us to one of the terminals and with his thick fingers, he struck the keys as graphs and code quickly ran down the monitors."Silas isn't looking for a street fight anymore, " Kael stated with a tone of concern. "He plans to pull the plug on the entire global economy because he has spent three years creating a digital virus inside the world's most secure financial networks."As I felt Lily's little hand turning my collar bone
