Dear ex-Wife please be mine again

Chapter 97

Alexander POV

I stood at the entrance to the holding cell, my fists clenched as I glared at the woman who had been a thorn in my side for far too long. Bianca sat on the narrow cot, looking pitiful, her once–perfect makeup now smudged and her designer clothe wrinkled. She was nothing like the glamorous, powerful figure she portrayed to the world. Now, she was reduced to this….a lying, conniving woman who had no limits when it came to destruction.

Her eyes snapped up to mine, wide and red–rimmed from crying, but I felt no sympathy. None. I had no more room for pity, not for her. The sight of her made my stomach churn, a sickness I couldn’t shake. How had I ever been so blind to he

true nature

“Alexander!” she sobbed, reaching through the bars. “You’ve got to believe me. I didn’t do any of this! You know me….how could I ever..

“Shut up. My voice came out cold, sharp. I didn’t have time for her manipulations. “Don’t you dare say you didn’t do it.” I took a step closer, my knuckles white as I fought the urge to lash out. “You tried to burn my children alive, Bianca. You had Christiana kidnapped. All because you couldn’t handle the fact that it’s over. You couldn’t stand that I chose my family over you.”

She wailed, shaking her head violently. “No! No, Alexander, I didn’t! It wasn’t me! I’m being framed! You have to believe me! Please!” Her hands trembled, her fingers gripping the bars as if they were her lifeline

“Framed!” I scoffed, the bitter taste of disgust coating my tongue “You think I’m that stupid? I have proof, Bianca. Your fingerprints are all over this. The men you hired have already confessed. Marco told Christiana everything. how you orchestrated the whole kidnapping. And now we know about the fire, too.”

Her face twisted into something ugly, her mask slipping further with each word I hurled at her. But instead of backing down she doubled down on the lie

“Marco’s lying she shrieked. “He’s lying to save his own skin! I didn’t do it! I would never hurt you, Alexander. You know that I love you! I’ve always loved you!”

I laughed, but there was no humor in it. “Love? This is how you show love? By trying to destroy everything that matters to me? By putting my children’s lives at risk? You don’t know what love is.”

Tears streamed down her face, her sobs growing louder, more desperate. But I didn’t care. I didn’t care about the tears, the pleading, the pitiful act. It was all part of her game, one she had been playing for years. But not anymore.

“You’re going to rot in here,” I said, my voice low, venomous. ” make sure of it. You’ll never see the outside of this cell again. You’ll never get the chance to hurt anyone else. Not Christiana. Not my kids. No one.”

new kind of fury. “You think you’ve won?” she hissed, standing up, her fingers still clutching the bars. “You think you can just lock me away and forget about me? I have the best lawyers in the country, Alexander Williams Alistair. I’ll get out of here. And when I do, you’ll regret this. I’ll make sure

“You’ve already ruined yourself, Bianca. You were always your own worst enemy. And now, the only place you
