*****************Aubrey's pov********************

As I strode into the boardroom, my heels clicked sharply against the marble floor, a sound that rumbled throughout the room and announced my presence with authority.

Every step I took oozed with confidence, my tailored black suit perfectly highlighting my strong and commanding figure. My hair was flawlessly pulled back into a sleek ponytail.

The assembled executives fell into uneasy silence as I made my way to the head of the table. With a quick scan of their faces, it was clear that they were all on edge under my piercing gaze. I didn't need to say a word for them to understand who was in charge here.

"Good morning," I said in a firm voice, cutting through the tension like a knife. "I trust everyone has thoroughly reviewed the latest performance metrics I sent out."

One of the senior managers, Jim, cleared his throat nervously. "Yes, Ms. Brown, but—"

I raised a hand to silence him. "I don't want to hear excuses. I want to know why our

    ****************Aubrey's pov******************As the plane lowered onto the runway, a tumultuous wave of emotions surged within me—sadness, strength, determination. The wheels touched down with a gentle thump, but my mind was anything but calm.Returning to this place felt like walking into the eye of a storm that had nearly destroyed me, yet I was no longer the vulnerable person who had left three years ago. I was now a tempered and resilient force.Taking a deep breath, I reminded myself of my purpose for coming here: to reclaim everything that was taken from me and to exact the vengeance I had meticulously plotted.The moment I stepped off the plane, the familiar scent of the city enveloped me. It was a bittersweet sensation, reminding me of all the memories associated with this place.

He can't read my face or my mind ever again."You're really brave for waltzing in here just like that. I'm really impressed," He smirked with a dark glare, though I could tell that he was really surprised by seeing the change in my appearance and attitude. "But do you really think, tossing around some cheap money can let you go?""Yes, Ryder, I do," I replied coolly, crossing my arms over my chest. "Because that's exactly what's going to happen. I've got the $50 million you demanded. I'll give it to you, and you'll sign the papers. It's as simple as that."A flicker of satisfaction passed through me at the thought of finally being free from this toxic marriage.His hard and displeased eyes met mine, and I could feel his anger radiating from them."You really think you can just walk away from

    ******************Aubrey's pov*********************He circled my chair like a predator stalking his prey, the click of his expensive shoes against the polished floor resonating in the room. His body hovered behind me, a dark shadow that seemed to swallow me. I could practically feel his hot breath on my neck as he leaned in closer, his hands resting on head rest of my chair."You've made three grave mistakes, Aubrey," he murmured, his voice dripping with menace and malice. The low, threatening tone sent chills down my spine. "First, you dared to ask for a divorce when I gave you a life most could only dream of. Second, you kept the news of my child from me. And third..." His voice dropped to a dangerous whisper as he pressed his lips to my ear. "Third, you ran away while you were still my wife."My body tensed at his words. Three years of hardening myself against him couldn't be undone by a few whispered threats.His hand that were possessive and warm, trailed lightly over my arm, se

    *****************Aubrey's pov***************"You're talking nonsense," I snarled, taking a step back, trying to create distance between us.But he didn't back down. When he had ever. His eyes were dark as if daring me to defy him.He moved closer to me again, his voice dangerously soft. It sent shivers down my spine, a warning of the danger that lurked beneath his smooth demeanour."Not nonsense but the price of your freedom," he said, each word dripping with malice and control looking deeply in my eyes. "One year, Aubrey. You come back to me, live with me, sleep with me, be my wife in every sense of the word." His lips curled into a predatory smile. "Then, and only then, will I give you what you want."I stared at him, my mind racing to comprehend the sheer absurdity of his demand. Did he really think I would agree to this? The man who had treated me like a possession, who had lied, manipulated, and broken me? Now he wanted me to come back, to share his bed, his life, as if nothing

    *************Aubrey's POV**************Ryder's smirk remained plastered on his face, but I could see it—the slight narrowing of his eyes, the way his gaze sharpened as if trying to dissect me. He was suspicious, and rightfully so. I had just agreed to something that would make any sane person recoil in disgust.He stepped closer as he tried to tower over me. But I didn't flinch, didn't let him see the discomfort curling at the edges of my thoughts. Instead, I met his gaze with a steady calm and indifference that I knew would drive him crazy."You're awfully quick to agree," he said, his voice laced with suspicion. "What's your angle, Aubrey?"I let a slow, deliberate smile creep across my lips. "Do I need an angle? Maybe I've just accepted my fate. Maybe I'm tired of fighting. Or maybe"—I leaned in slightly, lowering my voice to a conspiratorial whisper—"I'm just that desperate to be free of you."His stormy grey eyes flickered with anger. I couldn't decipher them all, but I knew one

    **Aubrey's POV**I sat in Gregory's lavish office. My hands were clasped together tightly in my lap. He stood by the large window, his back turned to me. I could feel the tension rolling off of him in waves, his disappointment clear even before he opened his mouth."Gregory…" I started, my voice soft but firm, wanting to get it over with. "I went to see Ryder. We talked, and…I agreed to his terms."He didn't turn around. His body remained stiff as if he was trying to control his emotions. The silence stretched on painfully, and for a moment, I wished he would just say something.Anything.I have told him everything that me and Ryder talked and agreed upon.Finally, he sighed, turning around to face me, his expression cold and unreadable. "So, you agreed to play his wife for a year?"I nodded, feeling a knot form in my stomach. "Yes. It's the only way, Gregory. The closer I am to him, the more I can learn…the more chances I'll have to ruin him."He leaned back against his desk, folding

    *******Aubrey's POV********I was sitting in the conference room. I could feel the weight of their stares—men who believed they knew better simply because of their gender and experience.I stood at the head of the table, my presence commanding the room, and glanced down at the stack of reports in front of me. It was time to make the announcement."As many of you may have heard," I began, my voice steady, "I've accepted the role of Vice President at Wolfe Inc."The reaction was immediate. A ripple of discomfort washed over the room, and I could see the shareholders exchange glances with each other, their eyebrows raised in disbelief. I could practically feel their objections coming.Sure enough, one of them, Mr. Hampton, an older man with silver hair and an overly smug expression, spoke first."Ms. Aubrey," he said with a patronising smile, leaning forward slightly in his chair, "while we respect your capabilities here at Devereux Jewelry, I have to question your decision.

I'd found my footing not just as a wife, but as a businesswoman.Balancing work and life had been a challenge at first, but now, as I stood in front of the crowd, delivering another speech at this business event, I felt confident and proud.I glanced at the audience, scanning the room as I spoke about leadership and resilience, and then my eyes found him—Ryder. He stood near the back, looking as handsome and supportive as ever, his smile wide, his eyes full of pride.Even from across the room, I could feel the warmth of his presence, the way he always made me feel like I was the centre of his world.It had been a year since we got back together, and everything was perfect.

    -----------------Aubrey's pov-----------------I kissed him once more, softer this time, letting the taste of his lips erase any lingering doubts. And for the first time in what felt like forever, I let myself believe that maybe, just maybe, there was a way back from all of this. That we could find our way back to each other, no matter how broken we were.That love really was stronger than any pain.Without breaking the kiss, he lifted me up into his arms, carrying me to the bedroom, our lips never parting.I ran my fingers over his chest, his shoulders, his arms, trying to re-memorize every little detail.My back hit the mattress, and a rush of nerves and adrenaline made my skin feel hot and prickly, as if it was too small for me. As if the tiniest thing could make me burst into a thousand pieces.And then he was there. Above me.The only one who could hold me together.His hands trailed over my hips and thighs, slowly, so slowly. Like he was trying to memorize every little part of m

    --------------------------Aubrey's pov----------------------I stared at my packed bags sitting on the floor. The sight of them made my stomach twist with dread, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I needed to leave. My heart was heavy, weighed down by too many emotions—grief, guilt, love—and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make sense of any of it. I thought leaving would make it easier, but standing here now, it felt like I was suffocating.Two days ago, Ryder and I had come back home, bruised and messed up. The cops had called today and they told me Sage's body had been found. My sister was—dead.I should have felt something more. Shock. Pain. Something. But all I felt was a strange numbness creeping through me.Sage had been meandering for so long, I always feared something like this would happen, but hearing it was real now…it was like I was caught between relief and guilt. And somewhere deep inside me, I knew it was better this way. The kind of things Sage did, the path

  • Comeback Of the Divorced Heiress   Chapter 92 It's over

    Sage's pov ;The van's interior reeked of sweat and metal, and I could feel every bump and turn as we sped through the streets. My heart pounded in my chest, my mind racing with a thousand thoughts, but all of them boiled down to one thing—how the hell had everything gone so wrong?My wrists were tied behind my back, the ropes cutting into my skin, but I didn't dare show weakness. Not in front of these thugs. They were pissed off, and I could feel their eyes burning into me from the front seat. I could hear them muttering under their breaths, cursing me, blaming me for the whole mess.The biggest one, the one with the scar running down his cheek, twisted in his seat to glare at me. "You said the cops wouldn't be involved," he growled, his voice low and threatening. "Now look at us! We're on the fucking *wanted list*.""I—" I started, but another thug cut me off, his voice filled with barely controlled fury."Those guys who got caught? If they open their mouths, we're done for. And it'

    Ryder's pov ;The moment I saw Aubrey, my heart nearly stopped. She was on the cold floor, her body trembling, clothes torn away, weak and exposed. Her eyes were wide with fear, and they locked onto mine and for a brief second, I saw relief in them the moment she saw me.But she was still in shock, and appeared too paralyzed to even move, too broken to understand that I was here for her now.Without thinking, I tore off my jacket and rushed to her side, wrapping it around her trembling body. "Aubrey…" My voice snapped, seeing her like this ravaged something inside me. I pulled her close to me to shield her from the nightmare that surrounded her right now.She clutched the jacket tight, but her hands were shaking. "R-Ryder…" Her voice was a mere whisper, barely audible over the pounding in my ears.I cupped her face, forcing her to look at me. "Are you alright?" I already know the answer. She was anything but fine but still I want her to stay something.She just nodded but I knew how h

    Sage's pov ;"Do whatever you guys want with her before we kill her!"The scarred man held her wrists firmly, forcing her to stay still. The others in the room chuckled, their dark amusement matching my own. This was my moment, a long time coming."Stop! Don't touch me!" She cried out and looked extremely scared.I rolled my eyes, walking toward her, my heels clicking ominously on the floor. "Oh, stop pretending. Where's that filthy slut you used to be?" I sneered, grabbing her chin roughly and forcing her to look at me. "Now you're playing innocent?"I slapped her again, the sharp crack of my hand against her cheek making the others in the room snicker. "Dirty bitch, don't act like you're worth more than this."She whimpered as one of the men ripped her shirt, exposing her to all of us. I loved seeing her like this, powerless and afraid. I had waited too long for this moment, and I was going to savor every second of it. She had always thought she was better than me. She thought Ryder

    Ryder's pov ;I sat in my office, the dim light casting long shadows across the room. The bottle of whiskey on my desk was nearly empty, the amber liquid swirling in the glass as I took another slow sip. The burn did little to dull the pain, to drown out the constant noise in my head.Aubrey's face kept flashing before my eyes—her pain, her anger. The way she looked at me when I tried to explain…like I was nothing. Like I wasn't worth her time anymore.I deserved it. All of it.The truth had come out, but it was too late. I should've listened to her three years ago. I should've believed her when she told me something was wrong. Instead, I let my arrogance, my doubt, destroy everything we had. Everything we could have been. And now, I've lost her.I exhaled sharply, the sound bitter in the silence of the office. The door creaked open behind me, and I didn't bother to turn around. I already knew who it was. Her perfume filled the air&mda

Whoever did this knew what they were doing, but it's clear they're not real."Aubrey blinked, her face frozen in shock, as if the words hadn't fully registered."They're…fake?"she repeated.I turned to her, my chest tightening as I took in her reaction. "Aubrey," I said softly, stepping closer, "I told you. I never cheated. Sage did this to drive us apart, to make you believe something that wasn't true."She stood there, silent, her mind clearly reeling from the revelation. Her disbelief was evident, but so was the confusion that clouded her eyes. Slowly, she turned to face me, her expression unreadable.I took a deep breath, trying to reach her. "I'm sorry it took so long, Aubrey. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you before. But now you know the truth. Please…let me fix this. Let me make it right."

    Ryder's pov ;I stormed into Aubrey's company, my heart pounding in my chest, barely able to keep my thoughts straight. The receptionist called after me, but I didn't care.I barged into the meeting room without knocking, ignoring the surprised looks of her colleagues as I interrupted whatever discussion they were having. Aubrey, seated at the head of the table, looked shocked, her eyes wide as they landed on me."Ryder?" Her voice was tight, confused. "What the hell are you doing here?"I was breathing heavily, my heart racing, but I didn't have time for formalities. "I need to talk to you. It's important, Aubrey. Those photos…they're fake."The room was dead silent, all eyes on us, and Aubrey's expression shifted to something between annoyance and exhaustion. She sighed, glancing around the table at the others. "Ryder, I'm in a meeting. We'll talk later.""No." My voice came out sharper than I intended, but I couldn't stop myself. I was desperate.
