CUTTING THE CORD: my ex-husband regret Chapter 66: A Bold Move
The weight of Daniel’s threats still hung in the air like a dark cloud. His last message had taunted me—Tick-tock, Emily. Your time’s running out. But instead of fear tightening its grip on me, something else stirred: resolve. I had allowed him to back me into a corner long enough. It was time to hit back, hard.I leaned back in my chair, the leather creaking under my weight, my eyes scanning the city skyline. Somewhere out there, Daniel was waiting, smug, believing he had the upper hand. He didn’t know me well enough. I wasn’t going to roll over and surrender. “Oliver,” I said, breaking the tense silence. He had been quiet, his brow furrowed in thought, probably trying to piece together our next move.He snapped his gaze to me. “What’s the plan, Emily?”I let out a slow breath. “We’re going on the offensive. I’m done playing by Daniel’s rules.”Oliver’s eyes lit up with approval. “What are you thinking?”“We need to find out exactly how deep Daniel’s involvement goes and how far he’

The air was thick with tension as I sat at my desk, the lawsuit plastered across every business news outlet. Daniel had made his move, and it was as bold as it was dangerous. But I wasn’t rattled—not yet. I’d come too far to let fear dictate my next steps. As I watched the media frenzy unfold, something clicked in my mind. Daniel’s arrogance had pushed him to act swiftly, too swiftly. That meant he’d made mistakes, and I was going to find them.“Emily.” Oliver’s voice broke through my thoughts. He stood in the doorway, holding a folder, his face grim but focused. “We might have found something.”I straightened in my chair, the pulse of adrenaline that had become all too familiar recently surging through my veins. “What is it?”Oliver crossed the room and placed the folder in front of me. “You’re not going to like it.”I opened the folder and scanned through the documents. They were records—communications, transaction histories, and a timeline of events that coincided with Daniel’s mor

The weight of betrayal hung in the air, suffocating me even after Megan left my office. I tried to bury the emotion, tried to focus on what was next, but her words echoed in my mind. She didn’t have a choice, but that didn’t make it hurt any less. And now, Daniel was threatening to expose everything. If I didn’t move fast, my company—my life’s work—would crumble in front of me. I couldn’t let that happen.I leaned against my desk, my mind whirling with possible strategies, none of them solid enough to make a real difference. My pulse quickened as I looked out the window at the city skyline. The stakes had never been higher.Oliver broke the silence. “Emily, I know this is hard, but we don’t have time to dwell on what Megan did. Daniel’s statement will be picked up by every outlet if we don’t act fast.”I turned to face him, frustration and determination clashing within me. “I know. But we need something concrete to counter him. Something big. He has the upper hand, and we can’t fight

The morning air was thick with anticipation as I sat in the back of the black SUV, my fingers gripping the cool leather seat. The city sped by in a blur of steel and glass, but my mind was elsewhere—lost in memories I had fought for years to keep buried. I hadn’t been to this part of town in over a decade. It was the last place I wanted to be, yet here I was, retracing steps I had promised myself I’d never walk again.The driver turned down a narrow alley, pulling up to the side entrance of an old, imposing building. This place used to be a hub of Daniel’s operations, a fortress where he met with men like Jameson—men who had power and no conscience. The mere sight of it sent a chill down my spine. I wasn’t just here for business today; I was stepping into a past I’d sworn to leave behind.Oliver’s voice broke my reverie as he turned to face me. “Are you ready for this, Emily?”I nodded, though I wasn’t sure if I was answering him or convincing myself. “I don’t have a choice, do I?”“Y

The shock of seeing Ava standing in front of me, after so many years, hit me like a cold wave. My mind raced, trying to piece together what was happening. This was supposed to be a meeting about Jameson—about gaining leverage over him. But instead, I was staring into the familiar, yet unfamiliar face of my estranged sister, and the air between us crackled with tension.“Ava…” My voice was barely a whisper, but it carried the weight of everything I’d held back for years. Hurt, anger, confusion. How had she ended up here? In this mess? With Jameson and, somehow, connected to Daniel?Ava didn’t move. Her dark eyes—so much like mine, yet filled with a wariness I didn’t recognize—bore into me. She crossed her arms over her chest, her posture defensive, as if she was preparing for a fight.“Don’t look so surprised, Emily,” she said, her voice as sharp as ever. “You knew this day would come.”I swallowed hard, trying to regain control over the emotions flooding through me. “I didn’t know you

I stood in the quiet aftermath of Ava’s departure, my mind struggling to reconcile the sister I had known with the woman she had become. It felt like the ground had been pulled from beneath me, leaving me disoriented and raw. My own blood—someone I once trusted implicitly—had been colluding with Daniel, the man intent on destroying everything I had built. And now, she had her own agenda.Oliver’s voice cut through the fog in my mind. “We need to figure out what Ava is really after,” he said, pacing the room. “She’s not just playing along with Daniel, Emily. She’s got her own game, and whatever it is, it’s about more than just leverage.”I nodded, but my thoughts were spinning. “She’s dangerous, Oliver. Not just because she’s working with Daniel, but because she knows me. She knows how to hurt me in ways even he can’t.”The words tasted bitter as they left my lips. Ava and I had shared a bond once—growing up in the same broken home, surviving together. But that bond had fractured when

The tension in the air between Ava and me was suffocating. The silence stretched, thick and oppressive, as I stood there, staring at her. My mind raced, trying to find a way out, a path where I didn’t have to give in to her demands, but every option led to the same dead end. She held all the cards. “I can’t believe you,” I finally said, my voice barely above a whisper. “After everything, this is what it comes down to? You’d put a price on our family, on trust, for money and power?”Ava’s eyes were cold, devoid of any warmth. “This isn’t about trust, Emily. It’s about survival. You’ve had everything handed to you. I’ve had to fight for scraps. This is my chance to take what I deserve, and I’m not going to apologize for that.”I wanted to scream at her, to tell her how wrong she was, how I had built this company with my blood, sweat, and tears. But it wouldn’t matter. Ava had made her choice long ago, and no amount of pleading or reasoning would change her mind.“Fine,” I said, my voic

The world outside my office was quiet, but inside my head, everything was chaos. I sat at my desk, the documents Ava had given me spread out in front of me like a map of betrayal and deception. My hands shook as I went through them again, piecing together the puzzle that had eluded me for so long.This information wasn’t just a glimpse into Daniel’s next move—it was a blueprint. Ava had given me the key to tear down everything Daniel had built, one brick at a time. It wasn’t just about the company. Daniel had hidden assets, secret deals, and alliances with people I never suspected. But now, thanks to Ava, I know his weaknesses, his cracks, and how to exploit them.I looked at the clock—barely past midnight—and let out a long breath. Sleep was impossible, not with everything running through my mind. The realization hit me: I had the advantage now. For the first time in months, I wasn’t on the defensive anymore. I had Daniel right where I wanted him.Oliver entered my office, his face t

CUTTING THE CORD: my ex-husband regret Chapter 117:Caught In The Trap
The blaring alarms were deafening, piercing through the walls as the heavy metal doors around me slammed shut with finality. I had seconds to make my escape, but every route was blocked, leaving only a narrow path through the shadows—a corridor that seemed as if it led deeper into the building. The sound of footsteps echoed from behind, rapid and closing in. Dominic’s cold laughter lingered in my mind, a dark reminder of the trap they’d set for me. I couldn’t afford to falter now. The adrenaline kicked in, fueling every step as I darted forward, the stale, oppressive air thickening as I moved deeper down the corridor. Shadows stretched across the walls, twisting and turning as I dashed through. I tried to suppress the gnawing fear in my chest. They had to be onto me; they had seen through my facade. Every turn seemed designed to mislead, winding me farther from the safety of the exit, and just as I thought I’d reached a dead end, I saw it—a door left ajar, the faintest line of light
CUTTING THE CORD: my ex-husband regret Chapter 116:A Dangerous Game
The message on my phone burned into my mind, a chilling reminder of the choice I faced. I knew what I had to do. My resolve was steeled, but it wasn’t going to be enough to just oppose them. If I wanted to take them down, I would need to move cautiously and deceive them just as they’d been deceiving me all along.The idea made my skin crawl, but if playing their game was the only way to gather the evidence I needed, then so be it. I would pretend to join their twisted world, all the while gathering the ammunition to tear it apart from within.The high-profile gala buzzed with energy and power. The room was filled with the city’s elite, influential figures who kept the wheels of wealth and influence turning. The conspiracy had chosen well; events like this one allowed them to hide in plain sight, moving like shadows among those who thought they ruled the world. I could feel the weight of their eyes on me as I entered, a calculated smile on my face as I mingled, feigning interest in idl
CUTTING THE CORD: my ex-husband regret Chapter115:The Tempting offer
I sat in the quiet darkness of my apartment, Natalie’s words still ringing in my ears. The silence felt oppressive, a stark contrast to the storm raging within me. Her offer had lingered long after the call ended, haunting me with its twisted logic. Join the conspiracy. Work from the inside. Gain the power to actually make a difference. For someone like Natalie, it was simple, practical—a means to an end, detached from any trace of morality.For me, though, it was so much more complicated. I knew the devastation this organization was capable of, the ways it thrived on manipulation, fear, and outright destruction. The idea of joining them felt like betraying everything I’d fought to protect, every value that had brought me here. But as I leaned back, a darker thought crept in, one I couldn’t quite shake: What if Natalie was right? What if I was going about this all wrong? From the outside, I was just one person fighting a behemoth with endless resources. Maybe… maybe I could use those
CUTTING THE CORD: my ex-husband regret Chapter 114: Betrayal At The Top
I sat alone, turning the keycard over in my hands, the symbol etched into its surface now seared into my mind. Natalie—my sister, the person I’d trusted above all others—was the leader of the very conspiracy I’d dedicated my life to bringing down. Each realization tightened the ache in my chest, transforming disbelief into seething anger.How many times had she looked me in the eye, calmly listening to my theories, my fears? How many times had she feigned support, all while orchestrating everything from behind the scenes? I squeezed the keycard, its sharp edges pressing into my palm, grounding me in the raw pain of betrayal.As I replayed every interaction, every seemingly innocent gesture, a new layer of betrayal settled over me. It felt like Natalie had taken my life, turned it inside out, and reassembled it for her own twisted purposes. The depth of it left me breathless, a dizzying realization of just how profoundly I’d been deceived.I took a steadying breath, trying to find clar
CUTTING THE CORD: my ex-husband regret Chapter 113:unmasking the Leader
The explosion echoed in my ears as I stumbled, forcing my mind to regain focus amid the chaos. Dust hung in the air, coating every surface, but it was the shadow standing at the edge of the dimly lit room that caught my attention.She stepped forward, her face emerging from the shadows, and my heart twisted.“Natalie?” I whispered, disbelief tightening my throat.My sister’s gaze met mine with an unsettling calm, the cold, unyielding look of someone who’d made peace with betrayal long ago. “Hello, Emily,” she replied, her voice smooth, detached, and entirely too confident. “I knew you’d get this far eventually. You’ve always been tenacious. Just… misguided.”I stared at her, a thousand memories and emotions surging through me at once. “Misguided?” I demanded, the hurt and anger in my voice sounding foreign even to my own ears. “How could you do this, Natalie? You’re my sister. Family.”She tilted her head, a faint smirk touching her lips. “You still think family is sacred?” Her laugh
CUTTING THE CORD: my ex-husband regret Chapter 112: The Secret Leader
The darkness pressed down around us like a suffocating weight. The only light came from the faint glow of the emergency exit sign, casting eerie shadows across the room. My pulse hammered in my ears as Claire cursed under her breath and Ethan flicked his flashlight on, illuminating Lucas’s pale face. “They’ve locked us out,” Claire whispered. “The system’s down. They knew we were here.”“Of course they did.” I muttered, more to myself than anyone else. It was their game—we were just pawns on a board they controlled from the start. Ethan stepped closer, his sharp blue eyes scanning the hallway beyond the door. “We need to move. Now.”“Wait,” I said, turning to Lucas. “Before we go any further, I need more answers. If I’m going to take down this leader, I need to know where to start.”Lucas swallowed, his gaze flickering to the darkened screens, frustration etched into every line on his face. He looked like a man who’d spent years trapped in the shadows, only to find himself running

We moved quickly through the twisting hallways, following Claire’s lead. The control room was within reach, yet every step felt heavier as if the air itself were thick with danger. Ethan kept close, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings. The tension between us all was palpable—mistrust still lingered, despite Claire’s sudden defection to our side. We rounded a final corner, ducking beneath hanging cables and debris, until Claire stopped in front of a metal door. She pressed her ear against it briefly, then motioned for us to follow her inside. “This is it,” Claire whispered. “We’ll be safe for a little while.”The room we entered was dimly lit, filled with computer monitors displaying surveillance feeds, encrypted data streams, and maps marked with enemy movements. But what struck me most was the figure waiting inside—a slender man in his late forties, wearing a frayed suit jacket, his glasses perched precariously on his nose. I knew this man.“Dr. Lucas?” I gasped. “What the hel

Darkness enveloped me like a suffocating shroud, pulling me deeper into its abyss. But just as I thought I was lost, an insistent beeping tore through the silence, pulling me back to consciousness. My eyes fluttered open, the harsh fluorescent lights above piercing through my haze. Pain radiated from my shoulder, sharp and searing, reminding me of Marcus and his betrayal. I tried to sit up, but a heavyweight pinned me down.“Easy there, Emily,” a familiar voice murmured softly. I turned my head and found Oliver hovering beside me, his expression a mix of relief and concern. “You’re safe now.”“Safe?” I croaked, the word feeling foreign against my tongue. I glanced around, taking in my surroundings. I was in a small, dimly lit room, the walls lined with crates and makeshift barricades. The faint sounds of chaos echoed outside—yelling, gunfire, and the unmistakable sound of destruction.“What happened?” I demanded, my heart racing. The adrenaline surged, urging me to push through the pa
CUTTING THE CORD: my ex-husband regret Chapter 109: Turning the Tables
The heavy door slammed shut behind Marcus, the echo reverberating in the cold room as adrenaline coursed through my veins. My mind raced, trying to absorb everything that had just happened. The woman’s revelation hung in the air like a beacon of hope, but I couldn’t dwell on it; I needed a plan. I had to escape.I leaned forward in my chair, testing the tightness of the ropes binding my wrists. If I could just shift a little… The chair creaked as I strained against the bonds, feeling the fibers begin to loosen. My heart pounded in time with the ticking clock on the wall, each tick a reminder that time was running out.Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching. The moment of truth was here. I closed my eyes, focusing on my breathing, readying myself for whatever came next. The door opened, and one of Marcus's henchmen stepped in, a sneer plastered across his face.“Well, well, look who we have here. Still think you’re tough?” he taunted, stepping closer. This was it.As he leaned down to
