His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 778
Damp, gloomy, and bone-chilling.
A musty stench of dust mingled with the sharp scent of tobacco hit Marilla as she
struggled to pry her heavy eyelids open, blurring the line between dream and
reality.
In her daze, she felt a pair of hands, cold as a serpent's tongue, slithering across
her skin.
“Who?”
Marilla snapped her eyes wide open as if breaking free from a nightmare, only to
plunge into another terrifying dream.
There sat Alston by her bed, his pallid fingers restlessly traveling up from her
slender ankles, caressing her skin with a touch as smooth as polished marble.
“Don’t touch me!”
Marilla trembled all over, desperately trying to break free, only to find her limbs
bound, rendering her helpless!
Powerless and despondent, she watched the man’s vile hands defile her,
enduring the scorching shame that filled her veins like molten
lava.
“Don’t want it?”
Alston’s mocking smile curled as he whispered into her tender ear, his breath
heavy with desire, “You told your fiancé “no’, didn’t that mean “yes“? You've lived
with a man for so long, what haven't you tried? Come on, let's have some fun, my
soon-to-be wife.”
“You're not my fiancé, you're not!” Marilla choked back tears, shaking

her head vigorously, trying to escape the repulsive entanglement.
“Don't play hard to get!”
Losing patience, Alston revealed his vile nature, his eyes glaring as he swung his
arm and slapped her, “You, rejected by the Fairhaven family as a lunatic, were
graciously taken in by the Bartleys, and you show no gratitude. Instead, you
sneak around with other men! Do you think Aaron cares for you? He's just
enjoying the thrill of conquest! Just like I despise Jareth, I must marry you to
make him watch helplessly as his woman falls into another man’s hands!”
With those words, Alston climbed onto the bed, pinning down her delicate body,
fumbling with his tie, his eyes lit with unsatisfied craving, “After all, you're no
innocent; Jareth has had his way with you. What's one more time to you? Marilla,
tonight, let's pretend this is our bridal chamber.”
Marilla shook uncontrollably, tears cascading down her pale cheeks as she
screamed hoarsely, struggling,
“Get off, get away! Don’t touch me!”
To Alston, her frantic movements were nothing but exciting.
The sight of her tear—stained face, so vulnerable and nearly shattered, ignited a
fire within him, a desire to torment her ruthlessly!
Would he finally fulfill the wicked desires that eluded him since his youth this very
night?
As Alston unbuckled his belt, the bedroom door burst open.
Aman and a woman stood at the threshold, their attire screaming wealth and
privilege...
“What's the rush? Can't wait to have your way?” The woman in a fiery red dress
folded her arms, reveling in the drama.

“Alston, I told you back in school, you've always had a thing for Marilla and you
just didn’t know it, right?”
The slick-haired man in the designer blue suit eyed the girl on the bed, licking his
lips, “What's that saying? When old classmates meet, it’s just game on!”
Through her tears, when Marilla recognized those two, her body stiffened, and a
wave of icy dread washed over her, freezing every
nerve.
So many years had passed.
She thought she had forgotten, yet with just one glance, she could name each
one of them, even if they turned to ashes, she would recognize them.
Those six devils.
The tormentors of her junior high school years, who had mercilessly bullied her
for three long years!
“Interrupting me now, really kills the mood,” Alston said, leisurely buckling his
belt, visibly annoyed.
The man in blue snuffed out his cigarette on the floor, “You can have your fun
later. Right now, Edith wants us to bring her over.”
When they mentioned Edith’s name, Marilla’s world darkened, as if she had fallen
into a hellish cycle of despair.
Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy, along with Jason, Gordon, and their entourage, were
racing toward Wye!
Aaron was seriously injured, but he insisted on leading the police team himself.
Both parties agreed to meet at the abandoned factory.
The news of Marilla’s kidnapping was kept under wraps, partly to avoid

harming the reputations of both the Abernathy and Fairhaven groups, and partly
because if the news leaked, it could endanger Marilla’s life if the kidnappers were
provoked.
On the way, Thaddeus had received word from Jareth that Barry might have
been murdered and reported it to the police immediately.
Evadne felt so agitated she was almost out of control, her eyes red-rimmed with
tears.
What was supposed to be a beautiful date had turned into this nightmare.
How could someone be so audacious as to snatch Marilla right from under
Aaron’s watchful eye?
“Jareth said, April wanted to visit the Fairhaven estate yesterday to discuss her
divorce with Barry, only to stumble upon Gary and his men disposing of Barry's
body,” Thaddeus held her hand, his eyes deep with concern.
“To fulfill his selfish desires, he even committed patricide. If Gary were to die and
fall into the animal realm, he'd be kicked right out!” Evadne glared with intense
fury.
“April is now being hunted down by Gary’s men all over town, cornered and
desperate she turned to Jareth. She even used the evidence of Gary killing his
father as leverage to ensure her safety.”
“People come together for profit and scatter when it's gone. None of them are
worth pitying!”

At his words, Evadne, who had been holding back her tears the entire journey,
finally let them fall.
After a moment of choked sobs, she whispered, “Marilla’s got to be okay. They've
got to end up together.”
Thaddeus’ somber gaze softened as he opened his arms to embrace his
beloved, “They will.”
“Jason, how much longer to Wye?” Evadne asked, her voice urgent as she
composed herself.

“Damn! Twenty more minutes?”
Evadne’s fist thumped against the car window, her eyes blazing with an intense
flame, “Right now, all I can hope for is that the kidnappers don’t want Marilla
dead, that they've got some other plan.
As long as their greed doesn’t spell the end, Marilla has a chance!”
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Lily.
Evadne answered immediately, her voice crackling with urgency, “Lily, have you
made it?”
“Ms. Evadne, that woman played me for a fool!”
Lily was panting, each word dripping with rage, “I'm at the abandoned Wye
factory, turned this place upside down, and there’s no sign of Marilla anywhere!”
