CUTTING THE CORD: my ex-husband regret Chapter 70: The Sister’s Return
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
CUTTING THE CORD: my ex-husband regret Chapter 71: The Sister’s Agenda
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
CUTTING THE CORD: my ex-husband regret Chapter 72: The Bargain
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
CUTTING THE CORD: my ex-husband regret Chapter 73: The Game-Changer
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 74: The Empire Crumbles
The morning light filtered through the windows of my office as I stood by the glass, watching the city wake up. Below me, people went about their daily lives, unaware of the war brewing in the shadows. My heart was racing, but not from fear—from the knowledge that, finally, I had the upper hand.Oliver had just left after a final briefing with our legal team. Everything was in motion. The carefully orchestrated leaks were spreading like wildfire through Daniel’s network. Investors were pulling out, board members were raising eyebrows, and rumors were swirling about financial discrepancies within his company. Every step had been meticulously calculated, every move designed to hit Daniel where it hurt most.I glanced at the stack of documents on my desk—evidence, contracts, emails. Each one is a nail in the coffin of his empire.As I took a sip of my coffee, my phone buzzed. I checked the screen—an update from one of our sources. I quickly opened the message and scanned through it, my p
CUTTING THE CORD: my ex-husband regret Chapter 75: The Devastating News
The tension in the air was palpable. I sat in my office, the dim lighting casting long shadows over the room as Oliver and I strategized, our whispers filled with urgency. After Daniel’s devastating attack on my company, we were running out of time. Every second felt like sand slipping through my fingers, and yet I refused to let the panic take over. I couldn’t afford to. Not now.My mind was racing, playing out scenarios, thinking through every possible move Daniel could make. He had landed a crippling blow to my company, but the cracks in his empire were growing deeper by the hour. I just needed one more opening, one more chance to turn the tide in my favor.Suddenly, Oliver’s phone buzzed on the table. He glanced at the screen, his eyes widening slightly before he answered it, his voice low and cautious. “Hello?”I watched him, my heart skipping a beat as his expression shifted from surprise to confusion, and then something else—something darker.“What is it?” I asked, sitting up s
CUTTING THE CORD: my ex-husband regret Chapter 76: The Switch
The air in the room was heavy with tension, each second ticking away as I sat across from Lucas, my mind racing. He had just offered to switch sides, a move I would’ve never seen coming, and yet here he was—Daniel’s most trusted man, ready to betray him.But as much as the offer seemed tempting, I couldn’t shake the feeling that this was all too convenient, too easy. A trap, maybe. I had learned the hard way that nothing in this world came without a price, especially from someone who had been so deeply entangled in Daniel’s twisted games.I leaned back in my chair, my eyes never leaving his. "You’ve been Daniel’s right hand for years. Why now? Why betray him now when he needs you most?"Lucas’s expression hardened, a flicker of guilt crossing his features. “Because I know what’s coming. Daniel’s unraveling, and when he falls, it’ll be messy. I don’t want to go down with him, Emily.”I tilted my head slightly, still unconvinced. “And I’m just supposed to believe that you’re suddenly gr
CUTTING THE CORD: my ex-husband regret Chapter 77: The Evidence
The soft glow of the screen illuminated my face as I scrolled through the files, each click pulling me deeper into a web of deception and corruption far worse than I had imagined. My fingers hovered over the keyboard, my pulse pounding in my ears. The evidence Lucas had given me wasn’t just strong—it was devastating.Every piece of Daniel’s operation was laid out with surgical precision—offshore accounts, bribes, illegal contracts. It was all there, enough to bring his entire empire crumbling to its knees. I had what I needed to destroy him, to end this nightmare once and for all. Yet, as I stared at the screen, a growing sense of unease clawed at my chest.It wasn’t just about taking Daniel down anymore. The deeper I dove into the files, the more I realized that this had the potential to destroy more than just him. There were people caught in his web, people who had been manipulated, blackmailed, or coerced into his schemes—people who might go down with him if I pulled the trigger on
