Sophia's POV The golden light of dusk spills through my bedroom window, casting long shadows over the sleek, modern furniture. I adjust the diamond studs in my ears, my reflection in the mirror poised yet exhausted. The red silk dress clings to my body, hugging every curve in a way I know Nathan used to love. Tonight is supposed to be special—our anniversary, a chance to remind him of the woman he fell in love with. Lately, things have been distant between us, but I refuse to believe our marriage has lost its fire.I glance at the elegantly wrapped gift on my vanity and smile to myself. It’s a personalized watch, engraved with Forever, S & N. A small token, a reminder of our promises. Maybe this will rekindle something in him, remind him of the nights we spent laughing over cheap wine and takeout before success consumed us. I smooth down my dress, grab my purse, and head out, heart fluttering with anticipation.The drive to Carter Enterprises is smooth, the city lights twinkling like

Sophia's POV The moment the elevator doors slide shut, the weight I had been holding crashes down on me like a tidal wave. My chest tightens, my breath hitching as I lean against the cold steel wall. The image of Nathan and Chloe tangled together is burned into my mind, replaying in vicious loops. My fingers curl into my palms, nails biting into my skin, but it does nothing to stop the storm inside me. The doors open, and I step out into the empty parking garage, the sound of my heels echoing like the hollow ache in my chest. I make it to my car before the first tear falls.I grip the steering wheel, my vision blurring as silent sobs wrack my body. Six years. Six years of laughter, of whispered dreams, of standing beside him through every success and failure. Had it all been a lie? The late nights at the office, the unexplained business trips, the growing distance I had convinced myself was just stress—was it always her? My own sister? The betrayal cuts deeper than I thought possible

Sophia's POV The whiskey burns as it slides down my throat, but it’s nothing compared to the fire raging inside me. Betrayal, humiliation, anger—every emotion collides in a storm I can’t contain. I grip the glass tighter, my knuckles turning white, but no amount of alcohol can erase the image of Nathan and Chloe wrapped around each other. The weight of the night presses down on me, suffocating, until the man beside me speaks again."You look like you want to set something on fire."I turn to him, finally giving him my full attention. The dim light of the bar casts sharp shadows over his face, highlighting the cut of his jaw, the slight smirk playing on his lips. His dark eyes, deep and unreadable, scan me with a curiosity that feels almost dangerous. He’s effortlessly handsome—too handsome. Broad shoulders, tailored suit, the kind of presence that demands attention. There’s something about him, an intensity that unsettles me, but I don’t look away."Maybe I do," I admit, swirling the
Last Updated : 2025-02-10After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company Chapter 4: Divorce, Deception & A Surprising Twist
Sophia's POV The moment the news breaks, my phone becomes a war zone of calls, texts, and notifications. Headlines splash across every business and gossip site: Sophia Mitchell and Nathan Carter’s Bitter Divorce! Infidelity, Betrayal, and Millions at Stake! Nathan Carter Speaks Out—The Truth About His Marriage! I scroll through the articles, my jaw clenching with every word. Nathan has played his part well—painting himself as the heartbroken husband blindsided by my “unreasonable demands” and “emotional instability.”I expected this. I knew he would try to control the narrative, twisting the truth until he emerged as the victim. What I didn’t expect was the extent of his deception. He’s given exclusive interviews, shedding crocodile tears about how “he tried everything to save our marriage” while subtly implying that I was the one who strayed. The worst part? Chloe is right there by his side, playing the doting, supportive girlfriend.I slam my phone onto the table, my nails digging

Sophia's POV The moment I hear his last name, my world tilts on its axis.Carter.I replay it in my mind, convincing myself that I misheard. But no, the name lingers, heavy and unmistakable. Alex Carter. The same last name as my ex-husband. The same man I’ve vowed to ruin.My fingers tighten around the stem of my champagne glass as I stare at him, my pulse hammering in my ears. His expression is unreadable—calm, composed—but I see it now. The resemblance. The sharp jawline, the piercing gaze, the way he carries himself with effortless authority. How had I not noticed before?I take a slow breath, forcing the rage down. “Tell me I’m wrong,” I say, my voice quieter than I intend, but no less dangerous.Alex doesn’t blink. “You’re not.”A slow, mocking laugh bubbles out of me before I can stop it. “Of course.” I shake my head, biting back the bitterness coating my tongue. “Of all the men in the world, I had to sleep with you.”His lips twitch, but there’s no amusement in his eyes. “Seem

SophiaI kneel beside an open suitcase, neatly folding a silk blouse before placing it beside the others. The penthouse is eerily quiet, like the air itself is holding its breath. No soft music playing in the background. No laughter drifting from the other room. Just silence.My things are half-packed—some already sealed away in labeled boxes, others scattered around, waiting for me to decide what stays and what goes. I can't live here anymore. Everything reminded me of Nathan. Everything. We had spent so much time together. We made a lot of decisions together too. Like the clock on the wall, we bought that together just like almost everything in this house. I can't live here anymore. I needed a clean slate. So, I got a studio apartment in the other part of town. This time, I would decorate how ever I pleased, with whatever I wanted to. I reach for a framed photo on the nightstand—our wedding picture. Chloe was my chief-bridesmaid. She looks so happy beside me in the photo. Was sh

SophiaI go back to packing.The sound of the door clicking shut behind my mother lingers for a few moments before fading into the silence. I don’t let it bother me—or at least, I try not to. I fold another blouse, tuck it into my suitcase, and reach for the next item. One after the other, I work my way through the room, sealing away pieces of my life in neat, labeled boxes.It feels robotic. Mechanical. Like I’m watching myself from the outside.By the time I’ve emptied most of the closet, my stomach growls in protest. I pause, stretching my arms over my head. It’s past dinner time. And considering I packed away most of my kitchenware earlier, cooking is out of the question.I grab my phone and order a pizza. Extra cheese. No olives. The way I like it.While I wait, I uncork a bottle of wine and pour myself a generous glass. The first sip burns slightly, then settles into a pleasant warmth. I take another sip, then another. The tension in my shoulders eases, just a little.When the p

NathanThe city stretched out before me, huge and indifferent. The skyline I had once ruled over now looked like a vise closing.It was all falling apart.No—it was already fallen apart.And I didn't know what to do with myself.The board had turned against me. The people I'd spent years manipulating, controlling, and confirming their loyalty—they'd abandoned me.Chloe had turned against me. My own flesh, the sister I had protected, had stood by, had built an empire with.And now?Now, she had joined Sophia.I clenched my teeth, my fingers tightening around the whiskey glass, the pressure so fierce that a sharp crack went through the quiet.I stared at the crack in the glass, the fine web of broken lines spreading under my fingertips.Fitting.Because that's exactly what was happening to me.I was breaking.And I couldn't stop it.VinceI'd witnessed Nathan Carter in all his forms.Triumphant.

ChloeI pulled my car in front of Carter Industries, gripping the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles went white.For the first time in my life, I was making a decision that didn't bear Nathan's name.A decision that would alter my existence.I had stood by him for decades, defending him, believing in him—no matter how many times I'd witnessed the devil in his eyes.Because he was my brother.Because I thought he was invincible.But I had been wrong.Nathan was not invincible. Nathan was coming apart at the seams.The newspaper headlines, the rumors on the board, the investors pulling out—everything spoke of one inescapable truth.Nathan Carter was coming apart.And I was not going down with him.I took a deep breath, forcing myself to move. I swung open the car door, stepping onto the sidewalk, my heart pounding.Carter Industries loomed before him, the building that had long been synonymous with Nathan's empire. But now, something in the air about it seemed different.Nathan's emp

NathanPower. Control.For as long as I could remember, these were the only two things that mattered to me. And now, they were running away from me. No, not running—being ripped from me, strand by strand, by the one person I never imagined capable of outwitting me.Sophia.She had played me. Set the perfect trap, offered me just enough to think I'd gained the advantage. I'd marched in, arrogant, believing that what I'd stolen from her would be my salvation. That it would be my weapon to bring her down for good.But I should have known better.I grind my teeth, my fists clenched as I sat in the darkened penthouse, Vince pacing in front of me."She sent you up," Vince snarled, anger mixed with frustration. "That information was not leaked by mistake. She wanted you to find out.".I gritted my teeth, my nails digging into my temple. The realization burned itself into my mind. Sophia wasn't replaying on my actions—she was controlling them.The books of accounts, the so-called 'secret' acc

NathanThe moment I stepped out of that restaurant, I knew.I had her.Sophia had thought she'd been playing me, thought she'd been calling the shots, but she'd made a mistake. And I'd caught her.The recording device in my pocket felt heavier than it was, like a loaded gun I'd just been handed. One bullet, perfectly aimed.Now all I had to do was pull the trigger.I hoisted myself into the backseat of my car, my mind already racing. Vince got in beside me, his sharp eyes scanning my face."You got something," he said. It wasn't a question.I smiled. "Oh, I got more than something."Vince leaned forward. "What is it?I drew the tiny device from my pocket, keeping it suspended between us. "Sophia's turn. She slipped up, just enough for me to figure it out." Vince's eyebrows knit together. "You sure it's not a trap?"I chuckled, shaking my head. "That's the best part. She thought she was playing me. Thought she was controlling the conversation. But I know her better than she knows." I

NathanWeakness made me ill.Greater than defeat. Greater than failure.But I had allowed myself to sink to it. Allowed desperation to win out over me, that I would consider doing something so weak—pleading with Sophia to stop.The memory of our last call burned in my head. The tone she had adopted, aloof and cold, as if I were a ghost of my former self.And the worst thing?She had been right.I had let her corner me. I had let her steal everything from me—my presence, my influence, my authority.That was done now.I leaned back in my chair, taking slow breaths. The whiskey on my desk remained untouched, the pungent aroma heavy in the air. I didn't need it. Not anymore.I had spent too much time weeping.It was time for action now.I tapped my fingers on the cool wood, my mind rebooting. Sophia had won this war. But wars were not fought in one battle.She had taken everything from me.But in doing that, she had made a mistake.She believed she had me cornered.She believed I was brok

NathanThe silence was suffocating.For the first time in my life, I wasn't in control.I was sitting in my office—no, not mine. Not anymore. The same board I used to rule over had turned against me, their loyalty crumbling faster than the empire I built. My name, my reputation, my legacy—it was all falling through my fingers, devoured by the same woman I underestimated.Sophia.The woman I had shaped. The woman I once underestimated as innocent, weak. And now, she was the very force destroying all that I had built.My hand tightened around the tumbler of whiskey I held, the liquid untouched. I had sat like this for hours, staring blankly out at the city view outside my office window. The skyline stretched on forever, and I saw nothing.Vince had tried to talk to me previously, but I had ignored him. Calls from my attorneys, from my business partners, even from Chloe—all ignored.I did not want to hear what they would say.I already knew.Carter Enterprises was under investigation. My

NathanThe world was slipping through my fingers.My name, my empire, my legacy—everything was collapsing.I had built Carter Enterprises from the ground up, crushing every rival, eliminating every threat. I had spent years making myself untouchable.Yet here I was. Cornered. Bleeding. Losing.The office was in chaos. Phones ringing. Screens flashing with breaking news headlines. Vince was barking orders, my legal team was scrambling, but none of it mattered.The moment I saw the news, I knew.I knew I was out of time.Nathan Carter Exposed: The Business Mogul’s House of Cards Comes Crashing Down.Carter Enterprises Board Calls Emergency Vote—Carter’s Removal Imminent.Fraud, Money Laundering, and Political Corruption—The End of an Era?A slow, sharp rage built inside me.I turned away from the screen, exhaling through clenched teeth.Sophia.She did this.She had gutted me in one swift, calculated strike—no warning, no room for counterattack. She had turned my own empire against me.

SophiaVictory was within reach.I could feel it in the coldness of the air, feel it in the manner Alex leaned back in his chair, grinning at me as Bellion poured himself a measured glass of whiskey.Nathan was disintegrating.And now, we had to break him."The fire was a provocation," I replied, my knuckles lightly hitting the table. "Nathan asked me to provoke him to it. He counted on me to lose control and make a mistake."Bellion swirled his drink. "We make him wish he had not taken the first step."Alex smiled. "I assume you already have some scheme in mind."And sure enough, I did.Nathan Carter lived on control. He wielded his authority as a sword, holding everyone at just desperate enough to need him, but never strong enough to defy him.But what becomes of a king when he loses his kingdom?I sat forward, my tone soft but poisonous."We do away with his name."Bellion leaned back, his eyes narrowing. "Go on."I gazed at him. "We won't ruin only his business. We will take away
