Chapter: CHAPTER 451The days that followed were a storm of documents, strategy meetings, and surveillance reports. Letty took over the kids for a while, treating them to trips at the museum and letting them nap in the sunroom of her new apartment. Meanwhile, I sat in rooms with lawyers and digital forensics experts, digging into everything Christian Vance touched.It was Letty who uncovered the link.She burst into the study one evening, a tablet in hand. “He’s planning a boardroom coup,” she said breathlessly. “I checked the recent proxy votes. He’s been buying small shareholder stakes under alias accounts and has enough to sway decisions at Kwartz Global.”Leon went rigid. “That’s impossible.”“It’s not,” Letty said. “He’s doing it through employees of a now-defunct hedge fund linked to Justin’s mother.”I felt ice crawl up my spine.Justin’s mother—Vera. A name I hadn’t heard in over a year. A name that had once held the keys to my family’s downfall.“She’s still alive?” I asked.Letty nodded. “Barely

Chapter: CHAPTER 450The address came through at 3:14 a.m.A string of numbers. A location just outside Anacortes, where the city faded into the woods. The text had no name, no promise—just a timestamp, a photo of Marie looking terrified in a dimly lit basement, and a message:Come alone. Bring nothing. No cops. You want her alive.I didn’t wake Leon.Maybe because I knew he’d never let me go alone. Maybe because I needed to do this myself. Or maybe it was the cold certainty that this had always been about me, even when the players were different.I slipped into jeans, tied my hair into a messy knot, and left a note on the kitchen counter, my fingers trembling as I wrote it."If I don’t come back by dawn, don’t follow me. Find Marie. Get the truth out. Protect our kids. I love you."The drive was a blur of fog and nerves. The forest swallowed the road in twisted arms. The house was a crumbling thing, a relic from the 40s with its porch rotting and windows dark.I parked down the hill and approached on foo

But only for a second.He raised the pistol toward me.The shot came—but not from his gun.Riley took him in the shoulder. Vance spun, dropped his weapon, and hit the floor.Leon crossed the room in seconds and pulled me into his arms."What part of 'don’t follow me' did you not understand?" I sobbed into his chest."The part where you thought I’d let you face him alone."We found Marie in the basement, bound but unharmed. Her eyes widened when she saw us, and she broke down as Leon cut the ropes.That morning, we handed Vance to the authorities.The evidence he held? It was real.But so was everything we had.I would carry the truth of my father’s choices. But I would not carry his sins.Leon stood beside me when I addressed the press days later."My father helped build a corrupt empire," I said. "And I’ve spent my life dismantling it. My legacy won’t be silence. It will be justice."It wasn’t over. B

Chapter: CHAPTER 448Letty’s phone rang just as we finished breakfast.Her hand froze above her coffee cup. The ringtone wasn’t her usual chirpy tune—it was that sharp trill reserved for emergencies. The moment she answered, her face went pale.“What happened?” Leon asked before she even hung up.Letty pressed the phone to her chest, like shielding it would make the words less real. “They suspended me. Without cause. Effective immediately.”I stared at her, stunned. “The university board?”She nodded. “The Dean said an anonymous complaint was submitted—allegations of academic misconduct. Plagiarism. Falsifying grades.”Leon’s voice was flat. “Bullshit.”Letty’s laugh was bitter. “Of course it is. But it’s timed perfectly, isn’t it?”My stomach twisted. “That was Christian.”“Who else?” she said, eyes wide with disbelief. “He’s not just attacking from the front. He’s eroding us piece by piece.”I reached out and gripped her hand. “He won’t win.”Letty nodded, but her fingers were cold.By midday, the secon

Chapter: CHAPTER 447Back at the villa that night, I couldn’t speak.Leon sat beside me on the couch, watching the sea crash against the rocks below.“You okay?” he asked gently.“No,” I whispered. “But I’m not broken.”He took my hand. “Then we go after him. All of them.”I stared out the window. The darkness didn’t feel empty anymore. It felt full of purpose.“We burn their empire down,” I said. “Brick by brick.”***Letty cried when I sent her the files.“It’s worse than we thought,” she said. “And also exactly what we feared.”She and Riley got to work immediately—scrubbing every page, verifying every lead. Meanwhile, Leon began arranging an exclusive interview with one of the world’s most ruthless and untouchable journalists: Emilia Rhys.She had once exposed a royal arms dealer with nothing but a pen and a satellite phone.If anyone could launch this story into the stratosphere, it was her.“She’s agreed to meet,” Leon said a day later. “Tomorrow night. In Zurich.”“Then we go,” I said without hesit

Chapter: CHAPTER 446The invitation arrived in the most unsettling way: a velvet black envelope, hand-delivered by a silent courier in a tailored charcoal suit.Letty snatched it off the porch before the boys could even see it. By the time she handed it to me, her face had gone pale.“It’s not just a letter this time,” she said. “He wants to meet.”I opened it slowly, expecting more threats, more cryptic taunts.Instead, it was an invitation.Embossed. Elegant.Dinner at Grayson Manor.Friday. Eight o’clock.Come alone.Let’s stop pretending we aren’t the same.— CVI laughed. Actually laughed.“This man thinks we’re equals,” I said, holding up the invitation. “How precious.”Leon didn’t find it amusing. He paced across the living room, phone already pressed to his ear. “No way in hell are you going.”“Leon—”“He’s baiting you. It’s a trap.”“He’s not going to hurt me. Not yet,” I said. “Not while the media’s watching and the press is still eating up our interview. If anything, he’s trying to manipulate t

“I expect you to behave like an ideal wife in every sense of word. Publicly, the perfect partner. Privately, you’ll share my bed, my home, and give me everything I ask.” he demanded.
“And what do I get in return?” I asked, my chin lifted in defiance.
“In return, you’ll get everything you’ve ever wanted, damsel—power, wealth, influence. And, most importantly, your revenge."

Chapter: CHAPTER 313Thiago didn’t speak for a moment, and the silence hung between us like a heavy fog. I could feel his presence behind me, that sense of him looming, waiting for me to crack, but I refused to let him see any sign of weakness. I kept my back straight, my hands clasped in front of me as I stared out the window. The skyline beyond was still the same, but I couldn’t ignore the weight of the moment.He hadn’t moved. I had expected him to be angry, maybe even confrontational, but there was something else in his stillness—a sense of control, as though he was waiting for me to make the first mistake.“Why are you doing this?” His voice broke the quiet, low but intense. It was the kind of question he always asked when he was trying to get into someone’s head, to unravel their thoughts. But I wasn’t that easy.“Because I can,” I said simply, turning to face him. I let the words hang in the air, sharp and pointed. “Because I’m done watching you destroy everything we built.”Thiago’s lips tightened

Chapter: CHAPTER 312I left Ainsley’s office with a quiet sense of satisfaction. There was a certain power in knowing that a man like him could be so easily swayed with the right amount of leverage. Thiago had never understood that. He’d always assumed that people were either his allies or enemies, that everything could be black and white. But I knew better. Everyone had a price. Even Ainsley. And once you found it, the game shifted in your favor.I knew the next step wouldn’t be easy. Thiago was unpredictable, dangerous when cornered. And I had no doubt he was already preparing for the fallout from our last confrontation. He was calculating, meticulous—traits I had once admired but now saw as vulnerabilities. His arrogance was his weakness, and I had every intention of exploiting it.As I walked back to my car, the weight of what I had set in motion hit me. The files I had handed Eduardo, the conversations I had with Lucia and now Ainsley—each one was a thread in a web I was weaving. It was no longer abo

Chapter: CHAPTER 311The next few days felt like a blur. Each morning, I dressed with purpose, knowing that Thiago was out there, likely plotting his next move, but I had my own strategies to execute. The hours spent sifting through documents and preparing counterattacks felt more like war tactics than business maneuvers. But the game was never going to be simple with Thiago. He didn’t just fight to win; he fought to destroy.I barely slept, always a step ahead, always thinking of the next move. The truth about Thiago’s involvement with his father, his manipulation of the shell companies, the falsified accounts—it was all coming together. But I knew it wasn’t enough. Thiago was cunning, and I was going to need more than just paperwork and strategy to take him down. I needed leverage. I needed to turn his allies against him, to make him realize that the walls were closing in.Lucia was my first point of contact. She was more than a colleague; she was my confidante in this battle. She had access to some of

Chapter: CHAPTER 310The next morning, I put on my sharpest suit—the navy one with gold buttons that made me feel like a general—and walked into the Bermudez Group headquarters like I still belonged there.Because technically… I did.My name was still on the board. My shares were still untouched. Thiago hadn’t made his move to strip me yet.But that clock was ticking.The receptionist froze when she saw me. “Ms. Martinez—Thiago said—he’s not in this morning—”“I’m not here for him,” I said, brushing past her. “Tell Eduardo to meet me in the main conference room. Now.”I knew the place better than most of his inner circle did. I helped design the damn layout.By the time Eduardo walked in—sweaty, confused, clutching a tablet—I was seated at the head of the table with a folder labeled The End waiting for him.“What is this?” he asked, glancing at the guards outside.“A choice,” I said.I slid the folder across to him. Inside were copies of the files Damien decrypted—carefully redacted, but damning enough. Co

Chapter: CHAPTER 309I didn’t cry.Not in the elevator. Not in the town car. Not even when Lucia tried to hug me and I nearly elbowed her in the face out of sheer, unfiltered tension.Crying was for women who lost. I hadn’t lost.Not yet.But as I walked back into my office that evening, I felt like something inside me had been surgically removed without anesthesia. A piece of me I hadn’t realized was still latched to Thiago. Something raw and messy, still clinging to the illusion that he wasn’t a monster in a custom-made suit.“Was it done?” Victor asked without looking up from his laptop, his tie loosened and his sleeves rolled.I threw the USB drive on his desk. “Not yet. But soon.”He finally glanced up, eyebrows lifting. “You didn’t use it?”“I showed it to him.”“Jesus, Bridgette,” he muttered. “That was leverage.”“It still is,” I said tightly. “But I needed him to know I’m not bluffing.”Victor leaned back, fingers steepled under his chin. “You went to see him, didn’t you?”“He asked me to come up

Chapter: CHAPTER 308I didn’t sleep that night.Not because I couldn’t—but because I didn’t want to.Sleep meant letting my guard down. Sleep meant giving my subconscious permission to summon every flicker of Thiago’s voice, his eyes, the ghost of his hand on my cheek.And right now, I couldn’t afford to be haunted.I sat on the balcony of my penthouse, watching the Miami skyline melt into the soft bruises of dawn. The city glittered with false promises—sleek towers, pristine beaches, and power hiding behind polished smiles. Just like him.“You look like hell,” Lucia said from the doorway, wrapped in my spare robe, hair a tangle of sleep.I didn’t bother turning. “Good morning to you too.”She padded over and sat beside me, cradling a mug of coffee she must’ve made on her own. That, or Victor was here too, lurking like the neurotic bodyguard he pretended not to be.“Want to talk about it?”I looked at her. “No.”Lucia took a sip, then nodded like she expected that. “Okay.

RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE EX-HUSBAND CHASED ME BACK
In her hope that real love would blossom free from the shadow of her wealthy and strong family background, Demi Perez had to subtly hide her own identity from her husband, Jeff Ortega. And for the past five years of marriage, all that she ever did was pour all that she has to offer into their marriage, only to be met with cold indifference—and divorce papers that would end things between them.
With Demi’s beauty and brains along with her wealth, she had completely conquered the corporate world and made some great impressions everywhere she went, and that includes dominating the failing company of her ex-husband.
And in just a year after her divorce, Demi came back powerful and famous. No longer was she the once naive ex-wife that Jeff left behind, because right now, Demi has once again reclaimed her status as the elite and powerful heiress of the Perez clan.
“Do you really have to play this dirty game to take revenge on me, Demi?" her ex-husband asked at last.
And Demi grinned with such seductive power. “Oh no, It’s not a game, Jeff. It’s just giving you the same doze of your own medicine.” she replied.
But as their old flames rekindle, Jeff wasn’t sure if he still wanted retribution or if he wanted her back. While Demi, on the other hand, has to decide whether she would finish what she started, or risk her heart all over again.

Chapter: CHAPTER 81The following week unfolded like a delicate dance, each step measured, each movement tentative. Jeff and I continued our cautious re-engagement, sharing brief lunches, exchanging playlists, and occasionally walking together after work. It was comfortable, familiar, yet tinged with the uncertainty of uncharted territory.One evening, as we strolled through the park near our office, Jeff turned to me with a thoughtful expression.“Demi,” he began, “there's something I've been meaning to tell you.”I glanced at him, curiosity piqued. “What is it?”He hesitated, then continued, “Stella reached out to me last week. She wanted to talk about some unresolved matters.”A chill ran down my spine. The name alone was enough to stir a whirlwind of emotions.“What did she want?” I asked, striving for composure.“She apologized for everything,” Jeff said. “She admitted to her mistakes and wanted closure.”I nodded slowly, processing his words. “And how did you feel about that?”Jeff sighed. “It was

Chapter: CHAPTER 80The days that followed felt like the start of something uncertain—but not in the terrifying way I’d once dreaded. It was a quiet sort of uncertainty. The kind that came with the possibility of growth, of redemption, of second chances not yet taken, but not entirely out of reach either.Jeff kept his word—he showed up.He didn’t push or pry. He didn’t smother me with grand gestures. Instead, he kept doing the small things. Things that felt intentional, thoughtful, familiar. A note slipped onto my desk with a reminder to eat lunch. A playlist link sent in the middle of the day with a message that simply read: Thought you’d like this one. A text every morning, every night—sometimes funny, sometimes tender, sometimes just one word: Here.And I felt it.The shift.Like we were inching back toward something we’d lost, only this time with more care. More clarity.Chelsea, ever the spy she was, didn’t let a moment pass without commentary. “You’re glowing again,” she said one morning as we sto

Chapter: CHAPTER 79It had been a week since that conversation in the café, and every day since felt like a slow unraveling of everything I’d tried so hard to tuck away.Jeff didn’t push after that day. No late-night calls. No over-the-top gestures. Just quiet, consistent presence. He texted good morning. He sent me silly memes. He asked about my day. And strangely, it wasn’t suffocating.It was comforting.And that scared me.Because I remembered too well what came after comfort the last time. I remembered how it felt to have the rug pulled out from under my life just when I’d thought we were finally solid. Jeff didn’t just break my heart—he shattered my sense of certainty. So even if he was different now, even if he was trying… how could I believe it wouldn’t happen again?“Earth to Demi,” Chelsea snapped her fingers in front of my face.I blinked. We were at a small rooftop wine bar downtown, watching the sun dip behind the buildings, painting the sky in shades of lavender and gold.“What?” I asked, s

Chapter: CHAPTER 78The weekend crept in slowly, with a silence that settled deeper than usual. I spent most of Saturday in my apartment, curled up on the couch with a book I wasn’t really reading and a cup of tea that had gone cold hours ago. My thoughts kept drifting—uninvited and relentless—back to Jeff.He had laid it all bare. No pretenses. No excuses.He wanted me back.It was still hard to wrap my head around. This was the same man who, just a year ago, looked me in the eyes and said he didn’t love me the same way anymore. The same man who signed the divorce papers without hesitation, who packed his bags and left me with only silence and echoes of everything we used to be.He chose Stella.He didn’t just leave—he left for her.And now? Now he says she couldn’t fill the space I left behind?I had questions. So many questions. And no matter how many pretty bracelets or thoughtful texts he sent, they didn’t erase the one truth I kept choking on:He left.And no matter how much he regrets it now, I st

Chapter: CHAPTER 77The morning after Jeff’s confession felt like walking through fog—thick, disorienting, and impossible to escape. I kept replaying his words, the sincerity in his eyes, the way he said he’d wait for me. No pressure, no expectations. Just hope.Chelsea, ever the orchestrator, had taken it upon herself to “test” Jeff’s intentions. And while I initially resisted, part of me was grateful. I needed to see if his actions matched his words.At the office, Chelsea was unusually quiet, her eyes darting between me and the door. I raised an eyebrow. “What did you do?”She feigned innocence. “Me? Nothing. Just… maybe scheduled a meeting.”Before I could press further, the door opened, and in walked Jeff, carrying a box of pastries from my favorite bakery. He looked nervous, which was rare for him.“Morning,” he said, placing the box on my desk. “Thought you might need a pick-me-up.”I glanced at Chelsea, who was suddenly very interested in her computer screen. Turning back to Jeff, I nodded. “Than

Chapter: CHAPTER 76The day started off normal enough—well, as normal as it could when your best friend was plotting a relationship stress test and your ex-husband had confessed he wanted you back.Chelsea hadn’t given me details yet. She said it had to “feel natural” to work. That if Jeff caught even a whiff of setup, it would ruin everything.So instead, I did what I always did when things got too real.I buried myself in work.Meetings. Emails. Approvals. Damage control from one of our junior designers who accidentally sent the wrong pitch deck to a client. It was the kind of chaos that usually kept my head clear. But today?Jeff’s face kept slipping into my mind.The soft way he looked at me lately. The way he listened—like every word I said mattered. The way he smiled when he saw me, like it was the only part of his day he was looking forward to.And worse?The way my chest fluttered when he did those things."Damn it," I muttered to myself, slamming my laptop shut as Chelsea walked back into the ro

The scent of something warm and slightly metallic lingered in the air, making my stomach churn. I groaned softly, shifting slightly, only to feel a strong arm tighten around my waist.Panic flared in my chest. My eyes flew open, and I found myself staring into the golden gaze of Zero. He was leaning against the headboard, his arm lazily draped over me, his expression unreadable."Easy there," he murmured, his voice rough with sleep. "You're still adjusting."Adjusting. The word sent a shiver down my spine as memories flooded back—pressing the doorbell, stepping into his domain, his mark burning into my skin, the overwhelming heat consuming me.

Chapter: CHAPTER 15The door loomed before me like a portal to another life—a life I wasn’t sure I wanted but one I might need. My heart raced as I raised my hand, hovering just above the doorbell. The sound of my breath was deafening in the silence of the night.Do it, Cassie. You came all this way.But just as I was about to press it, doubt surged through me like a lightning strike. My hand wavered, and I pulled it back. Turning away, I took a hesitant step back toward the street.This was insane. I couldn’t give myself to Zero—not like this. I had just escaped the chains of my ex-husband, the suffocating dominance that stripped me of my identity. To step into the grasp of another man, especially one like Zero, felt like trading one prison for another.But as I turned away, a sharp pang of regret stopped me in my tracks. My stomach churned with frustration. I hated this indecision, hated that my freedom was once again tangled with someone else’s control. Yet, deep down, I knew the truth: I needed Zero.

I finally managed to ask, my voice barely above a whisper.Zero’s sharp blue eyes glinted in the dim light of the alley as he stood to his full height. Without saying a word, he pointed directly at me, a slow and deliberate motion that sent a shiver down my spine. His meaning was clear even before he spoke again, his voice low and unwavering. "I want you, Cassie. Your body. Your loyalty and everything about you that could satisfy me. I want to claim you mine."The weight of his words crashed down on me like a tidal wave. My breath hitched, and I stumbled back a step, my back brushing against the cold, rough wall of the alley. The realization hit me with brutal clarity: I had only just been freed from the shackles of being mated to my ex-husband, and now I was faced with the possibility of being bound again—this time to a rogue whose reputation was as dark as the blood staining hi

They didn’t see what I saw now—a predator in his prime, coiled and ready to strike.Zero stood his ground, his sharp gaze flicking between the three attackers. He cracked his knuckles, a subtle but chilling sound that echoed in the confined space. “Three against one?

Chapter: CHAPTER 12I couldn’t stand it any longer. The days of waiting for news about my father had stretched on like an endless abyss, and the silence only grew heavier with every passing hour. I was trapped in a cage of uncertainty, my mind spinning with endless questions and fears. What happened to him? Where was he? Why hadn’t he contacted me, like he always promised he would?The letter he left behind only deepened the mystery. It spoke of allies—people who could help me, who knew more than I did about whatever danger he was facing—but it gave me nothing concrete. No names, no addresses, just vague instructions to seek out these allies if I wanted answers. How was I supposed to find them with nothing but a cryptic message and a burning sense of panic?I couldn’t stay here anymore.

She had been on edge ever since I told her about involving Licht, but her worry for me outweighed her skepticism about him."I still don't like this," Gwen said, crossing her arms. "But if Licht’s as resourceful as you say, maybe it’s not the worst idea."I nodded, staring at the screen of my laptop where Licht's last message still glowed.

Maybe I can send someone to keep an eye on your father. At least that way, we’ll know he’s safe—for now.”“Do you really think that’s possible?” I asked, hope flickering in my chest.“I’ll find a way,” Gwen said firmly. “There’s a messenger I trust who’s good at staying under the radar.
