His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 450

Chapter 450

On the other side of the racetrack, in the rest lounge No. 2.

The horse racing event had just concluded when Elspeth, barely containing her excitement, rushed to meet Victor.

“Victor. Victor. I’m here!”

Sometimes, Elspeth felt that ever since she met Victor, not only had she undergone a personal renaissance, but she also became more daring and fearless.

For over two decades, she had feigned the part of the dutiful wife within the Abernathy family, concealing her true self while tirelessly pandering to Frederic, living a life so exhaustingly pretentious.

Day in and day out, placating a man whose very presence she had grown to loathe to her core, she had had enough.

Victor’s arrival was like a torrential downpour on parched soil, an intoxicating deluge that soaked her to the bone, from which she could not, and would not extract herself.

With a heart pounding with anticipation, and hands trembling with need, Elspeth knocked on the door of the rest lounge. But when no one answered, her impatience got the better of her. She pushed the door open and swiftly locked it behind her. To her surprise, the room was empty.

“How can this be? Where is he?”

Puzzled, her gaze landed on a lone table where a syringe lay. She knew all too well what it was – her lifeline, her elixir!

Breathless with delight, she rushed to grab it, but her phone rang at that precise moment. It was as if Victor had eyes on her, the timing of his call couldn’t have been more exact.

“Victor! Where are you?!” Elspeth’s voice was laden with a desperate hunger.

“Mrs. Abernathy, the track is crowded and eyes are everywhere. If we were caught together, I fear even a silver–tongued devil couldn’t talk his way out.” Victor’s voice carried both care and consideration, “I can handle the gossip, but to see your reputation tarnished would be a sorrow too great.”

Tears of emotion welled in her eyes, “Victor! You are the only one who truly cares for me. I have only you!”

“I know you’ve been without your medicine, struggling through these days. So, I’ve left it as a gift for you. I hope it brings you some comfort.”

After a brief exchange of tender words, they ended the call. Elspeth couldn’t wait any longer. She uncapped the needle, her bloodshot eyes wide with craving, and injected every last drop of the substance into her veins.
