Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Rage in the Darkness
Chapter 30Jason’s POVI didn’t hear a single word the man beside me was saying—my whole focus was on Andrea. I sure wasn’t expecting what I got tonight. When I caught sight of her, at first, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had been turning the city down searching for her, but never in a million years did I think I would meet her at this event.I had just walked away from her, but my blood was still hot from our conversation. I could still see the fire in her eyes, hear the sharp edge in her voice, and the way she dared to speak to me like I was beneath her. She was nothing like the woman I had once crushed under my heel.That wasn’t the Andrea I had left behind.The Andrea I knew had been weak, desperate to please me, willing to crawl if it meant earning my approval. The Andrea I had discarded should have been nothing more than a broken shell, a shadow of the woman she once was.My body was still filled with so much rage. The anger in me was enough to burn this room down.Andrea betray

Chapter 31Andrea pov I had thought of different ways I would confront Jason when I finally met him.Every morning, I stood in front of my bathroom mirror, staring at my reflection, practicing how I would handle Jason. I imagined myself standing tall, my voice steady, my words cutting through him like a blade. Sometimes, in my mind, I would smirk as I watched the realization dawn in his eyes—that he should never have underestimated me.But tonight…Tonight had been nothing like that.The moment our eyes met, my breath caught in my throat. My body trembled, and everything I had practiced vanished from my mind. To think that I had almost let my fear control me, that I had been on the verge of running away—if not for Jake, who had spoken sense into me.I just wanted to get to my room, have a drink, and get some sleep. I was exhausted from the whole drama that had unfolded tonight.I swallowed hard, pressing the elevator button with more force than necessary. A hollow feeling curled in m

Jake’s POVChapter 32Her lips were on mine.Soft. Warm. Hesitant.For a second, my entire world stopped.Deep down, I knew this was wrong. I knew we shouldn’t be doing this. But I felt trapped, caught in a moment I hadn’t seen coming.Andrea’s hands clung to my shirt at first, but then she slowly moved them, sliding up to the back of my head. Her fingers curled into my hair, caressing it softly. I heard the faintest sound—a low, breathy moan escaping her lips.My body betrayed me.I wasn’t supposed to let this happen.I wasn’t supposed to want it.But I did.Just as I felt myself sinking deeper, reality crashed down on me like a violent wave.What am I doing?This wasn’t supposed to happen.Andrea wasn’t in the right state of mind.I was taking advantage of her vulnerability. It didn’t matter that she kissed me first—she had been drinking, she was hurting, and I should have stopped it the moment her lips touched mine.This isn’t about me. This isn’t about what I want.I forced myself

Chapter 33Andrea’s POVThe room was unbearably silent after my conversation with Jake.I had thought that talking to him about last night would make me feel better, but embarrassment, anger, and frustration still boiled inside me.My drunken state wasn’t an excuse for my behavior. I still didn’t know why I had let my emotions get the best of me. What I did was reckless.When I first woke up, for a brief, blissful moment, I had forgotten the mess I made.I reeked of alcohol, my head pounding like a drum. I remembered walking into the bar, just to get a few drinks. I remembered Jake showing up, his expression unreadable as he approached me.And then—nothing.A blank space.I stood up to brush my teeth and take a nice bath, but as I glanced at Jake—sleeping peacefully—the flashbacks came flooding in.My heart sank.I felt my knees go weak, and I just dropped flat on the floor.How could I have let this happen?How could I be so stupid?I squeezed my eyes shut, but it was useless—the fla

Chapter 34“I’m bored,” I muttered to myself, stretching my legs out on the couch.Since Jake left in the morning, I had done nothing but drown in my thoughts. The hours dragged on, each one stretching endlessly as I replayed everything I shouldn’t be thinking about.The room felt empty. Too empty. I wasn’t fond of having Jake around, but without him, there was a strange silence that made the space feel even bigger than it was. I sighed, shaking my head. What am I even thinking?I threw my head back against the couch, exhaling loudly. Just lying here was tiring. I needed something—anything—to pull me away from this endless cycle of thoughts.Grabbing my phone, I started scrolling through random pages, but nothing held my interest. Then, something hit me—I hadn’t received any of those cryptic messages lately. I had been so busy that I hadn’t even noticed. My brows furrowed. Maybe the good-for-nothing bastard finally decided to stop messing with me.I tossed my phone onto the table and

Chapter 35I felt my body hit the hard ground. My eyes were still squeezed tight.Was I dead?I tried moving my body, and it moved. I could still hear people around me. My body ached a little, but I didn’t feel any severe pain.I’m alive.I slowly opened my eyes. At first, I couldn’t see because of the tears that had gathered. I blinked twice, and my vision became clearer. I could see people, and their eyes widened in shock. But something was off. They weren’t looking at me—they were looking beside me.What’s going on?A bad feeling crept into my chest.I turned my head—and saw Jake, lying on the ground, motionless. To make it worse, I saw blood pooling beneath him.“Jake!” I screamed. My whole body was shaking. I couldn’t comprehend what was going on. How did he get here?I pushed myself up and ran toward him. Sweat dripped profusely on my face. I knelt on the floor beside him.“Jake,” I tapped on his chest. “Jake, I beg you, wake up!” He didn’t move. Fear gripped me. I was scared

Chapter 36 Jake’s POV My whole body ached as I opened my eyes. I tried to move, but a sharp pain shot through my ribs, making each breath feel like a battle. The strong scent of antiseptic filled my nose, and somewhere nearby, a machine beeped softly. For a moment, I forgot where I was. I turned my head slightly and saw Andrea. Her hands were resting against her cheeks, supporting her head as she dozed off. Her fingers twitched slightly, probably from exhaustion. She looked pale and drained. “Hmmm.” I let out a low sigh. “Andrea.” Her head snapped up instantly, her eyes widening in panic as she hurried to my side. “You’re awake,” she breathed out, her voice laced with relief as her eyes scanned me. “Yes, I’m awake. How long did I sleep?” I asked, my voice strained. “Umm… four hours.” “That’s a lot of time. And you’ve been here since then?” My brows furrowed as I studied her. She looked exhausted. “Of course, I was. Where else was I supposed to be?” “Andrea, please go back

Chapter 37Andrea pov I stood in front of the luggage, feeling completely lost. I had no idea which of Jake’s clothes to pick. All of them looked expensive and too formal for someone recovering in a hospital. He’d be wearing a hospital gown most of the time anyway but I still needed to pack something comfortable for him. I finally settled on a few pairs of shorts, some shirts, and his pajamas.After carefully folding them, I placed them neatly into the bag I would be taking to the hospital. Next should be his toiletries. I grabbed his toothbrush, razor, deodorant, and a small bottle of shampoo. Arranging them in a small pouch, I added it to the bag. That should be everything.I moved to my own luggage and picked out a pair of jeans, a few tops, and a jacket. I added my toiletries and a pair of flat shoes—I had no idea how long I’d be staying at the hospital, so I needed to be prepared.As I zipped up my bag, a thought hit me.UnderwearI smacked my forehead.

Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Cracking under pressure
Chapter 85Jason pov I woke up to a sharp, hammering pain in my head, I groaned dragging a hand down my face as I sat up. It felt like someone was pounding my skull with a hammer. I opened my eyes wider, but everything still looked blurry.“Shit,” I muttered, rubbing my eyes until my vision cleared. I looked around the room.Claire wasn’t there.Where did she go this early?I swung my legs off the bed and stood up, only to stumble, catching the edge of the nightstand to steady myself.I needed some water. My mouth was dry, and I could still taste the whiskey from last night.Just as I was about to call out for someone, the door creaked open.Claire walked in, with a maid holding a bowl and a jar of water.“Good morning, sir,” the maid greeted.I ignored.“You can hand it over to me,” Claire said to the maid. The maid gave her the tray and left.She marched toward me, handing over the bowl like she was doing me a favor she’d rather not.“Here. Hangover soup,” she said stiffly.I blink
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis A game of pretense
Chapter 84Claire povI leaned against my window, watching Andrea’s car disappear into the traffic. My heart pounded against my ribs. Damn, that was close—I almost got busted.If I hadn’t thought quickly, if my voice had wavered even for a second, Andrea would’ve seen right through me.I turned away from the window. Jason needs to know what just happened.I grabbed my phone from the table, my fingers moving fast. The screen lit up—Jason’s name glaring back at me. I tapped the call button and pressed the phone to my ear. It only rang twice.“Hello Claire ““Jason, Andrea saw you leaving the boutique,” I said immediately.“Huh?” He sounded nervous, caught off guard. “She saw me?”“She saw you walking out of the boutique,” I repeated, pacing the floor.“I heard you the first time, Claire. Did she… Did she suspect anything? Did she question you?”“Of course, she did. Do you think Andrea would see you walking out of my boutique and turn a blind eye? She asked what you were doing there.”“W
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Beneath the surface
Chapter 83I sat in the car, still trying to make sense of what had just happened. Claire and Jason can’t stand each other—that was one thing I was very much aware of. They were like cats and rats, so the question popped into my head again: Why was Jason walking out of Claire’s boutique?I shifted in my seat, chewing the inside of my cheek. My head was spinning with questions I couldn’t answer. The more I thought about it, the more restless I felt.Sitting here wasn’t going to give me answers. I opened the door and started walking down to the boutique.The receptionist welcomed me with a smile when I got in.“Good afternoon, ma. Welcome to Claire’s.”I returned a polite nod. “Hi, I’m here to see Claire.”“One moment, please.”She picked up the phone, I could tell by the way she looked at me that she recognized me.I waited, arms crossed, eyes drifting toward the hallway. A second later, she looked up.“You can go ahead.”I walked past her desk, my pace steady—even though my thoughts we
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Unexpected turns
Chapter 82“Did you really think I’d let Jason off that easily?” Jake asked, his voice calm but laced with a hint of mischief. “A press conference doesn’t clean up what he’s done. That was just… step one.”I sat up straighter, my eyes narrowing. “What do you mean by step one?”Jake shrugged, a grin tugging at the corner of his lips. “That press conference? That was me killing two birds with one stone. Your name’s cleared. The public believes you. But as for Jason… this is far from over.”“You already gave him the file,” I said slowly, suspicion creeping into my voice. “So what else is left?”He turned to face me more fully, his expression unreadable, eyes sharp. “Did I?” he asked.I let out a frustrated breath, throwing my hands up. “Can you please just stop answering my questions with another question, Jake? You have something up your sleeves. I can feel it.”He chuckled and lifted both arms, rolling up his sleeves dramatically. “I’ve got nothing under my sleeves, Andrea.”“Jake…”
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis A taste of his own medicine
Chapter 81Andrea’s POVI nearly choked on my coffee when Jason’s face popped up on my screen.He looked expressionless . Cold. Like he was reading a script straight off the teleprompter with no soul behind it.But I knew better.Beneath that polished suit and deadpan expression, I could see the cracks. The stiffness in his shoulders. The way his eyes avoided the cameras. He looked like a man holding his breath underwater—desperate not to drown, trying to make it seem like this was all under control.It wasn’t.He was miserable, and he felt like a damn loser for standing up there. I could see it in the way his jaw twitched after every sentence like he had to force the words out without spitting. He didn’t want to do this. This wasn’t some noble act of redemption. He didn’t have a choice.And the way he was acting—like he was one broken, lonely ex-husband who had no choice but to drag my name because of how pained and heartbroken he was? So pathetic. Some things never change. Even now,
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Public Execution
Chapter 80 Jason’s POV I stood in front of the mirror, tying the knot for the third damn time. No matter how tight I pulled it or how clean the fold looked, it still didn’t sit right on my chest. My hands paused. I stared at my reflection—sharp suit, clean shave, everything in place—but I still looked like hell. I looked like a man about to step into a war he already lost. “Jason?” Claire’s voice floated in behind me. I didn’t turn. She walked in, her heels clicking against the marble floor. I caught her reflection beside mine—flawless, hair pinned up, makeup soft and polished. She wore a cream-colored dress that hugged her in all the right places. “You look tense,” she said gently, wrapping her arms around my waist from behind. “Everything’s going to be fine.” I didn’t say anything. My eyes were locked on the tie, my knuckles clenched around the fabric. “Jason,” she said again, a little firmer this time. “You’ve got this. Just go in, say what you planned, and walk out. You’r
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Too Deep to walk away
Chapter 79Claire’s POVJason’s arm was heavy across my waist, his breath warm and steady against the back of my neck. He was snoring softly—completely at peace, like nothing had happened. Like he hadn’t just slammed me against the wall a few hours ago and wrapped his hand around my throat like I was an enemy in his way and not a woman he claimed to love.I lay there wide awake, staring at the ceiling. Every time I closed my eyes, I could feel it again—his fingers digging in, the panic clawing up my throat, the way my legs gave out under me. My heart wouldn’t slow down. My chest still felt tight, like I hadn’t fully caught my breath since.Though he had apologized and promised it would never happen again, could I count on his words? I had never seen him like this before—not toward me. For the first time since we became an item, I was scared. I was terrified of him.I shifted slightly, careful not to wake him. I turned to look at him. He looked so calm in his sleep. Like nothing was ea
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis The fall Of power
Chapter 78 Jason (POV) The bookshelf was upside down, with books scattered all over the floor. The TV remote lay cracked nearby, its batteries having rolled somewhere under the couch. Shards of glass glinted under the light from the broken lamp. One of the picture frames had been smashed to pieces—the photo ripped and tossed across the room. I didn’t care. I grabbed the edge of the dresser and yanked it, dragging it a few inches before slamming it back against the wall, I needed something else to hit. Something else to throw. My whole body buzzed with anger—chest rising and falling, hands shaking. How dare they walk into my office like they owned the damn place Waving that stupid file in my face like it was a weapon. Threatening me. I was sure they were laughing inside, having cornered me. I slammed my hand against the wall. Pain flared, but I didn’t feel it. The door burst open. “Jason!” Claire’s voice rang out, high-pitched and sharp with panic. “What the hell happened?!
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis The Break i needed
Chapter 77Andrea’s POV“Andrea, you’ve barely touched your food,” my mum’s voice cut through the quiet dining room.My fork froze halfway to my mouth. I blinked like I was just waking up from a long nap. The scent of roasted chicken and garlic rice hit me all over again, for a moment i forgot i was having dinner with my parents.“Oh… sorry,” I muttered, setting the fork down slowly. “I didn’t realize.”“You’ve been staring at the wall for the past ten minutes,” my dad said, setting down his glass of water. “Are you alright?”I nodded too quickly. “Yeah, I’m fine.”But I wasn’t here. Not completely. My mind was still stuck in Jason’s office—replaying every word, every twitch of his jaw, every glance exchanged between him, Jake, and me. The way his pride cracked when he saw the file. The look in his eyes when he realized we weren’t bluffing.It was like that memory had taken up all the space in my head. I barely remembered anything else right now.“You’re not letting all this scandal n
