Billionaire's Revenge: The Ex wife's rise Chapter Thirteen
Michelle's POVI had lived behind the streets of the family's gold-encrusted life, an unobtrusive witness to greed and the power struggle. My name is Michelle Carter, and after having been directly employed by Zack Lawson…period that has given me more scars than memories of love. I would never have suspected that fate would lead me before Jane Harrison, my life destroyed by the very same black lies I had been seeking to flee from for all these years.I answered the phone on my cold autumn afternoon. Jane had called up an old friend—somebody she believed could untangle the complicated web of deceptions that had trapped her family. I had known Zack long enough to realize that my past with him was a double-edged sword; whereas on the one hand, I had witnessed his cruelty, on the other, I had seen the cracks in his together persona. It was time now to encounter Jane at a sleazy coffee shop on the less populated side of town…lair where half-truths and muffled whispers held dominion in the

Jane's POVThe house loomed over me like a monument to the past—a house in which every groan of the floors and every frayed picture on the walls seemed to be a guarded secret for years. I trailed Nate into the dilapidated house on the outskirts of town, where memories hung heavy in the air and the scent of old wood filled our lungs. This was my mother's childhood home, one that had been full of laughter and unspoken love but now felt heavy with mystery and tragedy. I stepped out of the car and breathed deeply, allowing the chill of the past to close in around me. Nate went with me in silence, his omnipresent presence a comforting reminder that I wasn't by myself on this quest for the truth. I arrived at the wooden oak door and wondered what was behind this door—the past deceptions that would probably inform me how much Zack and Mae had deceived and lied to me.Inside, the house was shrouded in a dust sheet and emptiness. The tattered curtains hung limp against the windows, and the for

Jane's POVThe weight of it all…the hidden diaries, the photoshopped images, the incriminating ledgers…pressed upon me like an unremitting tide. At night, late, I sat alone in the quiet of my study, a lone lamp shining in a peaceful light over scraps of paper, my mother's old letters, and my scribbled pages. Every shred of evidence now felt like a piece of a puzzle, every one of them crying out to be fitted into the larger picture of our family's deceit.I ran my fingers along the frayed edges of the leather-bound notebook that I had taken with me since the very start of my investigation. Its pages were a history of every sleepless night, every tearful instant, and every spark of will that had formed in me since truth had begun to break through. Tonight, it was time to write a plan…a secret, bold plan to expose the corruption that had infected my life for far too long. No matter what it took, I vowed that no secret, however shameful, would be hidden any longer.I pulled out my new not

Jane's POVWith every step I took, I was stepping into the unknown that I had been avoiding for years. But with every new twist in my mother's murder and the appalling corruption track record of Zack's company, I knew that I couldn't do it by myself. I required someone who had witnessed the plotting of that rotten empire firsthand, someone soiled enough to risk his own fate for telling the truth. I remembered rumors and half-forgotten names from my youth; one name, however, loomed over me like a ghost: Marcus. Marcus had once been a member of the innermost circle of my father's empire. I’d heard rumors about his abrupt departure—how he’d left under a cloud of shame and bitter regret, refusing to be complicit any longer in the web of lies spun by Zack. If there was anyone who could help me compile a dossier on Zack’s illegal activities and the elaborate cover-up of my mother’s death, Marcus was the one.I waited at my desk that evening, the distant roar of the city beyond my window the

Jane's POV I received the clandestine tip on a cold evening—a cryptic one through an encoded e-mail address, telling me to meet in a deserted site at the city limit. All the message had said was: *"Truth lies where the shadows converge.".". Come alone.* My heart was racing as I hoped that this was the break I had been hoping for—a break to find more damning evidence on Zack, and even perhaps leads on Damien's implication that I could not find since that fateful night. I quickly scrolled through my phone for a last-minute cancellation and drove down a rural road. The city's neon receded fewer behind me as the world gave way to fields and thick groves of trees. I finally found myself standing before a weathered-down farmhouse on the edge of a forest. Its weathered face, cracked in broken windows and blistered paint, seemed to emit a ghostly sense of abandonment—but possibility too. I crept up, the headlights dropped to hide us from view, and pulled out into chill night air. The farm

Jane's POV I could still feel the sting of that adrenaline from the secret gathering in my veins as I moved away from the derelict farmhouse. The proof I had just acquired—documentation, tape, and the cruel knowledge of a conspiracy that cut all the way to the blackest reaches of my family's darkest crimes—was both victory and danger of death. There was no possible thing in the entire world that could have prepared me for what was coming. It was a rainy, black evening several nights later. I had promised to meet the whistleblower again at an obscure warehouse complex, a site chosen because it was obscure and relatively faceless. I had a thudding in my chest as I approached a black loading platform, the bright beam of a gaudy street lamp illuminating the rain-slicked sidewalk. I stood by myself except for the chill rigidness between us—a rigidness that was far too vigilant. I stepped towards the building carefully, my senses heightened to a state of vigilance. My footsteps echoing

Jane's POV The charity ball would be a night of hope—a glorious night when lovely smiles and soft music created a place of harmony and kindness. The lovely ballroom, its costly chandeliers and border of champagne glasses, resounded with laughter and soft murmurs. But beneath the glittering surface, I was weighed down by everything I had witnessed, a crushing weight that reduced even the loveliest adornments to secondary for my internal crisis. I arrived at the assignation in a sharp black vehicle, its gleaming surface aglow with city lights as I emerged in a body-clinging gown that did nothing to conceal the tempest brewing inside. I had not arrived to mingle but to belong, to scrape crumbs of truth from a world in which appearances were as deadly as they were radiant. Every one of the courteous smiles I shared with the other guests was an act—a grudging fiction in a space where all was carefully choreographed to offer perfection. I struggled through the throng, scanning the room

Jane's POVAnd in the silence after that dreadful, endless night, when all lies and all secrets had come to a single, fiery moment of truth, I knew that there was no turning back. The evidence—secret notebooks, locked files, taped speeches, and clandestine financial transactions—had become a burden which rested on my conscience. And yet, instead of strangling me, it had ignited something deep in me. With every fresh bit of evidence to incriminate, I became more determined to bring down the corrupt empire which had stolen the honor of my family.I sat alone in my study, a room which had turned into my war room over the last few weeks. The room was but dimly illuminated by a solitary desk lamp that cast a paltry glow about piles of documents, scribbled notes, and a whiteboard as tall as the desk itself that stood covered in dates, names, and cryptic links. It was subtly flavored with the odors of yellowed paper and ink—a signal of what I had lost but was going to reclaim. Today, the atm

Billionaire's Revenge: The Ex wife's rise Chapter thirty two
Zack’s POVI sat in my office late in the evening. The lights were low, and my mind was busy planning our next move. Mae had just come in, and her eyes were sharp, full of determination. We both knew that Jane was rising up. Her legal challenges and public speeches had stirred up too much truth. I had to act quickly and decisively.Mae broke the silence, “Zack, we cannot let her ruin everything.” I nodded slowly and replied, “I know. Jane is gaining momentum. The public is starting to ask questions. We must discredit her before her evidence takes full effect.” Mae leaned forward, “I agree. We are launching our smear campaign now. We use every tool available. I have contacts in the media. They can twist her story and show her as unstable.” I frowned slightly and said, “I want to protect our reputation. Our business depends on it. We cannot allow Jane to claim the assets and tarnish our records.” Mae smiled slyly, “Then we did this together. I have a plan. We start with social m

Jane's POVI sat at my kitchen table, having the papers spread out in front of me. My hands were trembling while I went over the papers one last time. I had to fight through the inheritance of my mother's wealth by Damien. The injustice of it seethed through me. I picked up the phone and dialed my attorney, Carla.Hello, Carla. It is Jane," I said firmly, standing firm vocally."Hello, Jane. Standing up how?" Carla softly asked."I'm prepared to go further. I have proof my mum's money illegitimately transferred over to Damien," I informed her.There was a soft silence from Carla. "That is quite serious, Jane. Would you be willing to take a course in law now?I replied firmly, "Yes, Carla. I want justice. I cannot let Damien have what is mine."In the later part of the afternoon, I went to Carla's small law office. The office was simple with a very long table and a few chairs. Carla greeted me with a smile."Jane, it's wonderful to see you. Sit down," she said, sitting on the opposite

Jane's POV I was in our rear safehouse, and there was only one lamp that provided light. I was reviewing my reports and encounters when Nate appeared silently out of nowhere. He closed the door, and we just looked at each other for a moment or so. Being near him had this calming effect on me despite the tension from these weeks still surrounding me. "Jane," Nate walked over to me and spoke softly, "you've been working day and night. How are you?" I hissed air hard and rubbed fatigue from above my eyes. "I feel my heart being pulled a thousand ways. There's the struggle for the truth, and this weight of it all evidence-wise, and then. Sometimes I think. It's too much." Nate moved closer and clasped my fist in a tight, comforting grip. "I do know. I can see it in your eyes. I'm with you, all the way. You don't have to go through it alone." I attempted a feeble smile. "Thanks, Nate. Some days I don't know how I'll make it through it all. But when you're around, it's like maybe I wi

Jane's POV I went to a public fund-raising event held in a community center. It was noisy but cozy, full of representatives of our local community and supporters who had come to witness our cause celebration. I went there to share our campaign for justice and show the masses that the truth would no longer be hidden. I had practiced my speech dozens of times, and I was standing confidently at the podium. My heart, however, was pounding furiously inside my chest, and I knew that my inner struggle was going on behind my calm face. As I was about to begin speaking, my aide Maria came up to me quietly. "Jane, it's in place. The audience is all seated, and the cameras are focused," she said firmly but with a sense of urgency. I smiled and was able to manage a small smile. "Thank you, Maria. I appreciate that you've worked so hard at getting everything ready. Today means a lot to us." She replied, "I believe in you, Jane. We all do. Just tell the truth from your heart.". I approached

Jane's POV I walked into the vacant conference room in a business complex on the outskirts of town. I had arranged this meeting with three retired executives who worked for my dad. I knew I had to be cautious. My phone rang. It was Nate: "Be careful, Jane. These individuals are jumpy." I took a deep breath and sat at the long table. The room was simple, with some chairs and a table that was old but looked sturdy. Three executives were sitting there. Their faces were concerned. I sat at the end of the table. A gray-haired man spoke first. "Jane, thank you for coming. My name is Richard. We appreciate you meeting us in secret." I nodded. "Thanks, Richard. I realize that this won't be easy for any of us. I need your help. I have evidence that uncovers deep corruption at Lawson Enterprises. My dad, Zack, covered up illicit deals and even destroyed critical records. I am filing legal action, and I need assistants who will support my cause.". A quiet, sharp-eyed woman named Sandra t

Jane's POV I was in my office when my secure phone beeped with a text. It was short: "Meet me tonight. I have something for you. – Insider." My heart was pounding as I read it. I knew this was likely a huge tip. I called Nate on my phone. "Hi, Nate, I just got a message from an insider. They would like to meet tonight," I told him. Nate replied, "Are you sure it is safe? Who is it?" I replied, "I don't know the name. It just says 'Insider.' But I think we have to hear what they have to say. I'll be cautious." "Okay, Jane. Keep your phone on and call me in. I'll be waiting," Nate directed. I hung up and sat there, trying to quiet my nerves. I knew that leaked information would be dangerous, but also would be worth it. I packed up and went home. I drove slowly, trying to fit in. The meeting spot was a small, nondescript café near an old warehouse district. I arrived just after nightfall and sat in a hidden corner. Within a few minutes, a man wearing a black hat and jacket a

Jane's POV I sat at my small desk, the testimony spread out in front of me when it hit me suddenly that I had to begin constructing my network of support. I needed people who worked with my dad, Zack, in the past, individuals who were aware of how his company was run and who would be willing to give their testimonies. I drew a breath and picked up my phone. I dialed the first number on my list. The phone rang, and I heard a voice I recognized. "Hello, this is Michael." "Hi Michael, it's Jane. I worked with you at Lawson Enterprises." There was a silence that felt like minutes. "Jane? I—I didn't think I'd be hearing from you. How are you?" "I'm. not good, Michael. I need to talk to you about something important. It involves my father and the company." Michael's tone was argumentative. "What do you mean?" "Things don't add up. I have proof of corruption and cover-ups. I must know the truth regarding how Zack operated in business. I believe that you have to know the answer

Jane's POVI was crammed into a small meeting room with Detective Harris and Nate. The atmosphere was heavy, and my heart pounded. Detective Harris dropped a thick report on the table and gave me a stern look."Jane," he began in his soft, low voice, "I have reviewed all the evidence that night. I can now safely say:The accident was not an accident."I could see my hands shaking. "What do you mean, Detective? Explain."Detective Harris reached up and adjusted his glasses. "We learned a lot of things that didn't add up. The video from the dashcam was erased. The records show someone logged in remotely. We also learned the police report had been tampered with. It is clear that someone went out of their way to delete important evidence."Nate bent forward. "So someone erased the video? Who would erase it?"The detective groaned. "It wasn't a technical glitch. It was done on purpose. The machine was accessed remotely, and the files were erased by someone who had remote access. The way the

Jane's POVI had noticed Detective Harris in a tiny coffee shop on a deserted street. The coffee shop was almost empty when I came in. I spotted him immediately. He sat in the corner of the shop with a piping hot cup of coffee in front of him and a notepad on his table. His eyes looked pinched but interested."Have a seat, Jane," he told me when I stood in front of him.I sat beside him. "I appreciate the time, Detective Harris. I desperately need your assistance."He shook his head. "I see why you've come. I was waiting for you."I breathed in. "I want to know what really happened that night on the night of the crash. I believe there's evidence that's missing because it was deliberately destroyed. Do you know anything else you can tell me about it?Detective Harris nodded in the direction. "I was also working on the case then," he started. "I did all the sides of the case. But something strange occurred. Some crucial evidence just. vanished."I looked at him, sitting. "Vanished? What
