FROM DIVORCED TO BILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 51
“Miss Cavendish, the arrangements have been made,” her assistant murmured as they entered the quiet hotel.Pearl Cavendish stepped out of the sleek black car with a calm elegance that belied her true purpose.Flanked by her entourage, she adjusted her wide-brimmed hat, shielding her face from prying eyes.Apple City was alive with its usual buzz, but Pearl’s arrival was under the radar—just the way she wanted it.She had no intention of indulging the media or high society with her presence.Her purpose was personal, and she intended to keep it that way.Pearl nodded. “Good. Leave me.”Once alone, she reached for her phone and dialed the only person who could help her now: Terminator X.Terminator X, answered the call on the first ring.His voice was clipped, professional.“Miss Cavendish, I wasn’t expecting to hear from you.”“I’m sure you weren’t,” Pearl replied, her tone cold.“But I need to know—Louis is here, isn’t he?”There was a pause on the line, the faint sound of typing in

Juliet Parker stood in the hallway outside Louis’s penthouse, debating whether she should knock.She hadn’t seen him for a week, and the silence between them felt unnatural.They were just friends—but she hated the growing distance from him.She don't know him much, but she liked him.After everything Louis had done for her—helping her company secure a critical deal and being there for her during tough times—she couldn’t leave the island without at least saying goodbye.Taking a deep breath, she raised her hand and knocked.The door opened after a few moments, and Louis appeared, his expression a mix of surprise and exhaustion.“Juliet,” he said, stepping aside to let her in. “This is unexpected.”“I thought I’d drop by,” she replied, her voice casual.“I’m leaving the island tomorrow and realized I haven’t seen you all week.”Louis nodded, gesturing toward the living room.“Sorry about that. Things have been... complicated.”Her eyes wandered to the cluttered desk in the corner of th

Meanwhile, in a quiet office on the outskirts of Apple City, Terminator X sat behind his desk, his sharp gaze fixed on Pearl Cavendish.She was as poised and enigmatic as ever, her presence commanding the room despite its unassuming decor.“How did you even get here?” Terminator asked, his tone equal parts curious and annoyed.Pearl smiled faintly, her red lips curving in amusement.“You know me, Terminator. Getting what I want has never been difficult.”“That’s not an answer,” he replied, leaning back in his chair.“It’s the only answer you’re getting.” She crossed her legs elegantly, the sharp heels of her shoes tapping against the floor.“Now, let’s cut to the chase. I want to know why Louis was exiled from the Kindsor family.”Terminator’s expression darkened. "That’s not information I’m willing to share.”"I didnt give you any option- except the truth." She clenched her teeth.“You’re persistent, I’ll give you that,” Terminator said finally, breaking the silence.“I don’t have t

Terminator X’s expression darkened.“A month after his mother’s death, Louis was framed for an unspeakable act.He was accused of spying on his stepmother’s cousin, watching her while she bathed, and even attempting to assault her.There was no truth to it, but it didn’t matter.His father, already swayed by his second wife’s accusations, took her side without hesitation.Louis was branded guilty, and the Kindsor family turned their back on him.They exiled him from the family without a second thought.”Pearl’s eyes widened.“But Louis... he’s not capable of such things. It’s all lies.”Terminator X nodded gravely.“Exactly. It was a setup.Louis was being targeted from the moment his mother died, and his father allowed it to happen.His stepmother was behind it, always trying to bring him down in front of his father, poisoning his mind with false accusations.She’d always wanted to see him out of the picture so she could take control of the family herself.”Pearl’s hands clenched int

Pearl leaned back in her chair, her fingers drumming against the polished desk.Marcus, her secretary, stood before her with a thick manila folder."The Blackwood Society's charity auction details," he reported, sliding the document across the desk.Pearl's eyes narrowed."Tell me everything.""It's an exclusive event," Marcus explained."The artifact you're interested in—it's definitely going to be there. Provenance confirmed, direct connection to Louis's past."She let out a soft laugh."Interesting.""Ms. Cavendish," Marcus hesitated, "are you sure about this approach?"Pearl stood up, walking to the window.The city sprawled beneath her, a complex network of streets and secrets."I'm doing this for Louis. He needs to know the truth.""Are you sure?" Marcus pressed."That's not an option," she replied sharply."Some truths are worth fighting for."Her phone buzzed. A text from her contact at the auction house."Artifact confirmed. Lot 17. Preliminary valuation attached.""Marcus,"

"I won't let him get away with this," Vivian muttered to herself, grabbing her phone and went to the media office who could help her exact her revenge."Jake, it's Vivian. I need you to do something for me," she said as soon as the call connected."Vivian, what’s up? You’re not calling just to chat, I take it?""I’m going to expose Louis. I need you to write something about him—something that’ll show him for the manipulative fraud he really is. I’ll make sure it’s all over the media."Jake hesitated."I want to destroy him," she told Jake, the lead journalist, her voice a cold whisper.Jake adjusted his recorder. "Louis? Your ex-husband?""He humiliated my entire family," Vivian spat."Kicked us out of Necker Island just before my wedding. Made us look like complete fools.""Tell me everything," Jake prompted, his pen poised.Vivian's laugh was brittle."Louis was nothing. A nobody who used to do house chores. And now? Suddenly he's this powerful figure because of Terminator X.""Inte

"Louis went from being someone I could order around to do household chores to thinking he's powerful. Now everyone sees him exactly as he is.""The images are killer," Jake said."Side-by-side comparisons of him in an apron versus a tailored suit. It looks like complete fraud.""That's the point," Vivian replied."I want everyone to see how he manipulated his way up. Used Terminator X's name like a stepping stone."Her phone pinged with another notification.More comments were rolling in, each more caustic than the last."'Terminator X's charity case?'" Jake read aloud."'Looks like he's just riding someone else's coattails.'""Keep tracking the reactions," Vivian instructed."I want to know every single ripple this creates."Her brother chimed in again."Your family must be feeling vindicated.""They kicked us out of Necker Island," Vivian said, her voice turning cold."Now everyone will see Louis for what he really is."Vivian sat back, taking a deep breath."This is just the beginn

The grand ballroom buzzed with anticipation, the air thick with chatter as guests admired the glittering chandeliers and exchanged pleasantries.Near the back of the room, Louis adjusted his cufflinks, his eyes scanning the crowd.“So, she’s here,” he muttered under his breath, spotting Pearl gliding into the ballroom with her usual air of composed elegance.“Of course she’s here,” Terminator X, standing beside him, remarked dryly. “You didn’t think she’d let this auction happen without making her move, did you?”Louis sighed.“This necklace... it’s not just a piece of jewelry to her. I need to find out why.”Meanwhile, Pearl was making her way through the crowd, her every move graceful and deliberate.“Keep an eye on Vivian,” she murmured to her assistant, her voice low but firm.“She’s too quiet tonight. That only means trouble.”Her assistant nodded and slipped into the crowd.At the center of the room, Vivian sat with a glass of champagne, her sharp eyes locked on Louis.“Well, w

The morning headlines screamed trouble for AAA Group:“AAA’s Tech Venture Faces Catastrophic Delays: Sabotage Alleged.”Louis slammed the paper on his desk, his jaw tight with frustration. Juliet and Pearl stood nearby, both visibly concerned.“Hector’s fingerprints are all over this,” Juliet said, pacing.“The delays, the rumors—it’s too coordinated to be random.”“He’s targeting our flagship project to undermine investor confidence,” Pearl added. “And it’s working.”Louis pinched the bridge of his nose.“We need a counterattack, fast. If we lose momentum on this, it’ll snowball.”“We can’t just react,” Juliet interjected.“We need to get ahead of him. Find out his next move.”Pearl crossed her arms, her gaze sharp.“I might know someone who can help us trace the sabotage back to Hector. But it’ll take time.”“Time we don’t have,” Louis muttered.That evening, Louis attended an elite gala under pressure from investors and allies, hoping to salvage their confidence.The venue was a gl

Juliet’s voice trembled.“But how? We saw you… you sacrificed yourself during the fight with The Seer. How are you here?”Pearl looked directly at Louis, her gaze steady.“One of The Seer’s guards saved me. His name was Tom. When the battle ended, he found me and took me to a hidden village far from the chaos. They treated my injuries, but it took months to recover.”Louis’s voice broke.“Why didn’t you contact us?”“I couldn’t,” Pearl said, her tone regretful.“The village was isolated, and I was in no condition to travel. By the time I could leave, I knew I had to come back—to help.”Pearl turned to the auctioneer, her voice cutting through the stunned silence.“As the rightful executor of the Kindsor estate, I invoke Clause 17 of the AxisTech agreement. No deal can proceed without my authorization.”Vivian’s face twisted with rage.“You can’t be serious. You’ve been gone for months—you have no standing here!”Pearl smiled faintly.“Actually, Vivian, I do. I never relinquished my au

The auctioneer tried to regain control.“Order, please! Bidding resumes at 120 million.”“150,” Hector said smoothly, ignoring the chaos around him.“You should just walk away, Kindsor. It’ll save you the embarrassment.”Louis narrowed his eyes.“160.”“170,” Hector fired back instantly.“You’re not winning this, Louis. This isn’t a battlefield—it’s a chessboard. And I’m always five moves ahead.”Louis leaned forward, his voice low and sharp.“You’re mistaking arrogance for strategy, Hector. It’s a common flaw in people who’ve never fought for what they have.”The crowd murmured again, the tide shifting subtly in Louis’s favor.Just as the bidding reached a fever pitch, the auctioneer raised his hand.“Current bid: 200 million. Going once… going twice…”“250 million,” a smooth, familiar voice called from the back of the room.All heads turned as Vivian stepped into the light, her entrance as dramatic as it was calculated.Her crimson dress and confident stride silenced the room.“Vivi

The room buzzed with anticipation as Apple City’s elite gathered in the grand ballroom of the Lang Corporation Tower.Media crews lined the walls, their cameras trained on the stage where the public bidding war was set to take place.At the center of it all, Louis Kindsor stood, his expression calm but his resolve sharp as steel.Across from him, Hector Lang lounged in his chair, exuding effortless arrogance.His tailored suit and smug smile screamed confidence, a sharp contrast to the tension in the room.“Welcome, Louis,” Hector drawled, his voice carrying just enough mockery to draw the crowd’s attention.“I wasn’t sure you’d have the nerve to show up after… recent events.”Louis met his gaze evenly.“I don’t make a habit of running from challenges, Hector. Unlike some, I prefer to settle things out in the open.”Hector chuckled, leaning back in his chair.“Out in the open? You mean where everyone can see you fail? Bold strategy.”The auctioneer stepped forward, his voice ringing o

The murmurs grew louder, this time with a more supportive tone toward Louis. He took a deep breath, drawing strength from Juliet’s unwavering stance.“Vivian’s right about one thing,” Louis began, his voice steady. “I did hold the shard. I fought to control its power because if I hadn’t, none of us would be standing here today.”He stepped forward, his voice rising with conviction. “But what she won’t tell you is what really happened. The Seer was on the verge of destroying everything—this city, its people, its future. I made a choice to stop her, no matter the cost.”Louis turned to the audience, his gaze sweeping over them. “I’ve made mistakes. I’m not perfect. But I’ve never hidden from responsibility. Can Vivian say the same?”The crowd’s murmurs shifted, skepticism giving way to curiosity and even support. Vivian’s frustration was palpable as she tried to regain control.“Don’t let him fool you!” she snapped. “This is nothing more than a desperate attempt to deflect from his fail

Louis froze, the barrage of accusations hitting him like a wave.Juliet stepped in, raising her voice.“Back off! He’s not answering anything without context!”“Oh, let him speak,” Vivian said, her tone saccharine as she waved the reporters closer.“The people deserve to know the truth.”Louis clenched his fists, his voice low but steady.“The truth? The truth is that I stopped The Seer from destroying this city—and probably the world. But you don’t care about that, do you? You care about your headlines and your soundbites.”Vivian chuckled, her laughter light but cutting.“So defensive, Louis. That’s not a good look for someone who claims to be a hero.”Juliet stepped forward, her eyes blazing.“You want a story? Here’s one: Louis put his life on the line to stop The Seer. While people like you sat in your ivory towers, he was out there saving lives. So maybe show a little gratitude.”The crowd murmured, some nodding in agreement, others clearly skeptical.Vivian’s smile faltered for

Louis sat in the corner of a modest café in Apple City, his hood pulled low to avoid the curious gazes of passersby.Juliet sat across from him, a determined look on her face, while Terminator X leaned against the wall, his arms crossed.“Have you seen this?” Juliet said, sliding a holo-screen across the table.It displayed a headline that read: “Hero or Threat? The Truth About Louis and the Nexus Collapse.”Louis glanced at it briefly before pushing it aside.“I don’t care what they’re saying.”“You should,” Terminator X said bluntly.“The city’s elites are turning you into public enemy number one. If you ignore this, it’ll only get worse.”Louis sighed, running a hand through his hair.“They don’t know what happened. They weren’t there. Why should I care about their opinions?”“Because their opinions shape the city,” Juliet countered.“And if you want any chance of rebuilding your life—or stopping future threats—you need to face this head-on.”Before Louis could respond, a notificat

The skyline of Apple City was a stark contrast to the chaos they had left behind at The Nexus.The bustling streets hummed with life, oblivious to the battles fought in the shadows to protect them.Louis, Juliet, and Terminator X sat in a quiet corner of a rooftop overlooking the city, the weight of their journey evident in their tired expressions.The air was crisp, yet the silence between them carried an unspoken heaviness.It was Juliet who finally broke it.“So, it’s really over,” she said, her voice soft, though it carried a note of doubt.“Is it?” Terminator X replied, leaning back against the wall.“The Seer’s gone, but the damage she caused… It’s not something you just undo.”Louis, sitting with the shard in his hands, turned it over slowly, its faint glow a reminder of the power it held.“The network she built will fall apart without her,” he said quietly.“But this—” he held up the shard, “—this is what started it all.”Juliet shifted closer, her gaze steady. “What are you g

The ground beneath their feet trembled violently as The Nexus continued its catastrophic collapse.Chunks of the ceiling rained down, shattering into debris that blocked their path.The air was thick with dust, making it hard to see or breathe.“Move! Don’t stop!” Terminator X bellowed, shoving a falling slab of stone aside as he cleared a path for Juliet and Louis.Juliet grabbed Louis’s arm, trying to keep him steady.His face was pale, his breathing labored, and the faint glow of his hands had all but disappeared.“I’m fine,” Louis muttered, though the strain in his voice betrayed him.“Just keep going.”They sprinted toward the exit, the roar of collapsing stone growing louder behind them.A massive boulder crashed down, blocking their path.“Not this again!” Terminator X growled, slamming his shoulder into the rock. It shifted slightly but didn’t budge.Louis stepped forward, his hands trembling as he summoned the last dregs of his energy.“I’ll move it. Just… get ready to run.”
