FROM DIVORCED TO BILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 59
Louis stood near a side entrance, lost in thought, when Pearl approached him, her steps soft but purposeful.“Louis,” she called, holding out the velvet case containing the necklace.He turned to her, his expression unreadable.“Why are you giving this to me?”Pearl sighed, lowering her voice.“This isn’t just a necklace. Look closer.”Louis hesitated but opened the case.His sharp eyes caught the delicate engraving on the underside of the pendant:For the truth, seek the Cavendish heir.His brow furrowed as he traced the words with his finger.“What does this mean, Pearl? Why is your family connected to this?”Pearl crossed her arms, her usual confidence tinged with unease.“I don’t know all the details, but this isn’t the first time my family’s name has come up in strange circumstances. When I saw this listed for the auction, I had to act.”Louis studied her carefully.“And you decided to spend five million dollars to keep it out of Vivian’s hands?”Pearl shrugged.“Five million isn

Juliet trailed behind Louis as he left the grand ballroom, her heels clicking softly against the pavement.She tightened her coat, her eyes locked on Louis’s retreating figure.“What are you hiding, Louis?” she whispered to herself, quickening her pace to keep him in sight.The streets grew darker and narrower as Louis turned into an unfamiliar part of town.Juliet hesitated at first but pressed on, determined to uncover the truth about his connection to Pearl.“This isn’t the place for someone like you,” a gruff voice called out, making her stop abruptly.“Well, well, look what we have here,” sneered a man with a scar across his cheek.His grin was menacing as his companions closed in around her.“Let me go!” Juliet shouted, struggling against their grip.Another man laughed.“Feisty, aren’t you? But you’re out of your depth, sweetheart.”Juliet’s heart raced.“What do you want from me?”The scar-faced man leaned closer, his breath reeking of alcohol.“It’s simple. Stay away from Lou

The leader laughed.“Oh, look who decided to show up. Mr. Big Shot. What are you going to do, call for help?”Louis’s lips curled into a grim smile.“I don’t need help.”Before the words fully registered, Louis moved.In one fluid motion, he crossed the distance and slammed his elbow into the nearest thug’s jaw.The man crumpled to the ground with a grunt.“Get him!” the leader barked, and the others charged.Louis sidestepped the first punch, twisting the attacker’s arm behind his back and shoving him into the wall.A second man swung wildly, but Louis ducked and retaliated with a precise kick to the ribs, sending him staggering.Juliet watched in stunned silence as Louis dispatched the attackers with practiced ease, his movements controlled and efficient.One by one, they fell until only the leader remained.“You’re going to regret this,” the man hissed, pulling a knife from his pocket.Louis’s eyes narrowed.“You already do.”The thug lunged, but Louis sidestepped, grabbing the man

Pearl stormed into the lavish Cavendish estate, her heels clicking against the marble floors as she approached her father’s study.Without knocking, she pushed the heavy oak doors open.Edward Cavendish looked up from his desk, his calm demeanor unwavering.“Pearl,” he said, setting his pen down.“To what do I owe this... dramatic entrance?”“Don’t play coy with me, Father.” Pearl’s tone was sharp, her eyes narrowing.“I know you’ve been hiding something about Louis. I want the truth.”Edward leaned back in his chair, studying her with a measured gaze.“Louis Kindsor? I wasn’t aware he was still a topic of interest for you.”“Don’t deflect,” she snapped.“Did you have anything to do with his exile from the Kindsor family?”Edward’s expression darkened slightly, but he kept his composure.“You should tread carefully with your accusations, Pearl. I had no hand in what happened to him.”Pearl crossed her arms, refusing to back down.“I don’t believe you.The timing of his exile, the rumo

Louis and Terminator X sat hunched over the Moonlit Grace, the engraved message glinting under a desk lamp.“‘For the truth, seek the Cavendish heir,’” Terminator X read aloud, tapping the words with a finger. “It’s cryptic, but it’s a start. What’s your move?”Louis exhaled slowly, his eyes fixed on the intricate engraving.“The Cavendish family has been circling this mess for years. Pearl might be the key, but I need solid answers before I confront her—or her father.”Terminator X smirked.“You’re lucky I’m good at puzzles. Look closer at these markings around the words—they’re not just decorative.”Louis leaned in, his brow furrowing.“Coordinates?”“Exactly,” Terminator X confirmed, typing the numbers into his tablet.A map appeared on the screen, zeroing in on a section of the sprawling Kindsor estate.“This points to an old structure on your family’s land. Abandoned for years, according to the records.”Louis’s expression hardened.“Abandoned, or deliberately forgotten?”“Only

ONE DAY BEFORE SAMUEL WENT TO MEET LOUIS----Vivian sat in her penthouse suite, the dim lighting casting long shadows across the room.Her lips curled into a smirk as Samuel entered, his posture stiff and uncertain.On the table before her was a sleek black bag, the zipper slightly open, revealing bundles of crisp bills.“Samuel,” Vivian greeted smoothly, her tone oozing false warmth.“So good of you to come. I was beginning to think you had second thoughts.”Samuel shifted uncomfortably, glancing at the bag of money.“I didn’t. But this… this doesn’t sit right with me, Vivian. Louis—”“Louis?” Vivian interrupted, her voice sharp as she leaned forward.“You mean the so-called self-made man? The fraud? The loser who spent years doing house chores and suddenly thinks he’s some kind of kingpin because he has Terminator X cleaning up his messes?” She let out a cold laugh, her manicured nails tapping against her wine glass.Samuel frowned but remained silent.“Oh, don’t look at me like tha

“How could Samuel do this?” Louis muttered, gripping the edge of his desk so tightly that his knuckles turned white.Terminator X stopped mid-stride.“He didn’t just betray you, Louis. He handed her exactly what she needed to spin the narrative in her favor.”Louis clenched his jaw.“Play it again.”With a grim nod, Terminator X hit play.Samuel’s voice came through the speakers, smooth and conversational.“Vivian and Halton won’t stop until they ruin me,” Louis’s voice said, though the context had been carefully edited.“If Juliet and Pearl are caught in the crossfire, so be it. I’ll do what I must to protect my empire.”The recording ended with a deliberate pause, leaving just enough room for speculation and outrage.“Twisted beyond recognition,” Terminator X growled.“They’ve made you sound like a calculating monster who uses women as pawns.”Louis leaned back in his chair, his mind racing.“The media is eating this up. They’ll dissect every word, every pause. Damage control will b

Juliet had been pacing her apartment, conflicted and overwhelmed by the whirlwind of accusations and betrayals swirling around Louis.Her phone chimed with a message from an unknown number.“I have information that will prove Louis is lying to you. Meet me at Blue Orchid Café at 3 PM. —V.”Juliet hesitated, staring at the message.She wanted answers, but trusting Vivian felt like walking into a trap.Her emotions, however, overpowered her logic.If there’s a chance to know the truth, I have to take it.At 3 PM, Juliet walked into the café, scanning the crowd until she spotted Vivian, sipping on a glass of wine with a practiced air of superiority.“You actually came,” Vivian said, smirking.“I wasn’t sure you’d be brave enough.”“I’m not here for games, Vivian. What do you have?” Juliet snapped, pulling out a chair.Vivian leaned forward, her expression sly.“I could give you all the proof you need to see Louis for what he is, but I need something from you first.”“What could I possibl

The sleek black envelope was unmarked except for a wax seal bearing an ornate insignia.Louis turned it over in his hands, frowning.“No sender. Just an address and a date.”Juliet leaned over the desk, reading the contents.“It’s an invitation. Exclusive, secretive, and dripping with high-society pretension.”Pearl crossed her arms.“It’s also a trap. These kinds of events aren’t meant for people like us—they’re meant to lure us into compromising positions.”Louis set the envelope down.“So, what do we do? Ignore it?”Juliet shook her head.“No. If this is legitimate, it’s an opportunity to get ahead of whatever they’re planning. Plus, if we don’t show, it’ll look like we’re hiding.”“Or it’s a setup to discredit us,” Pearl countered, her tone sharp.“Showing up could backfire.”Louis sighed, torn between the two perspectives.“Either way, they’ll spin it against us. But if there’s even a chance this event is important, we can’t afford to sit it out.”The venue was an opulent mansion

The grand ballroom of the Apple City Business Forum was packed with influential figures, the air buzzing with anticipation.A row of cameras lined the back of the room, broadcasting the event live.At the center stage sat Louis Kindsor, Hector Lang, and other key players, each ready to make their case to the city’s elite.Louis adjusted his microphone, his calm exterior hiding the storm brewing inside.Juliet and Pearl stood nearby, their presence a silent reminder of the stakes.In the crowd, Terminator X sat inconspicuously, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.Hector, ever the showman, leaned forward with a smirk“Ladies and gentlemen, we’re here to discuss the future of this city’s economy. And I think it’s clear who’s capable of leading that future.”He gestured toward Louis, his tone dripping with mockery.“We’ve all seen the headlines. AAA Group struggling, questionable projects, and leadership that’s… let’s just say, less than inspiring.”Louis didn’t flinch.“Interesting

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
