Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Caught up in This
Chapter 65 “You’re quiet now.” Jason’s face was right in front of mine. His breath touched my skin, heavy and cold. “For someone who was running her mouth a few moments ago, you look calm. What happened to all that fire, Andrea?”I blinked, unsure how to answer. My throat felt like sandpaper, the words stuck somewhere between fear and confusion. I wasn’t prepared for this part of the plan. I was so confident nothing could go wrong.My skin crawled. The wire taped beneath my blouse suddenly felt like it was burning into me. I wrapped my arms around myself instinctively, eyes flashing around the restaurant. There were only a few people scattered across tables. No one was paying attention. No one saw what was about to go wrong.Jason’s voice dropped low. “Come on, Andrea. Let’s take this off. It’s ridiculous.”He reached forward, fingers brushing the edge of my collar like he owned me. Like he could just touch and take and do as he pleased.“No,” I snapped, my voice cracking. I stood up

Chapter 66 Jake’s words were comforting, but my emotions were still getting the best of me. My knees stayed folded on the floor, my vision blurred because of the tears in my eyes. My fingers dug into the hem of my blouse like it was the only thing keeping me from falling apart, My eyes were fixed on the floor “Andrea,” he said, not forcing me to look at him. “Hey. It’s okay. You’re okay.”I couldn’t lift my head. Not yet. The tremble in my arms was still too raw, my chest too tight. Jake had said it was okay, but I didn’t feel okay in any way. It broke me to see myself like this. But seeing how Jason harassed me and tried to force himself on me… it was a nightmare.Jake stretched his hand gently removed my hand from the hem of my blouse, and held my hands.“I need you to breathe, alright?” he murmured.I didn’t respond to him.“Andrea,” he called out I finally looked up, tears falling freely down my cheeks. I let out a shaky breath.“Breathe, Andrea,” he said, breathing in through

Chapter 67Claire povThe soft chime of the boutique’s entrance bell echoed through the store.I stepped out of my office, ready to attend to one of my favorite clients who was checking out our latest collection in the dress section. As I walked closer to her, wearing a big smile on my face, my gaze shifted—and there she was.Andrea.Her shoulders were slightly hunched, and her eyes darted around like she was trying to hide whatever storm was going on inside her. My heart skipped a beat—not from worry, but from a flicker of annoyance.Why does she have to come now? I have a client to attend to.Yes, I had told her I wanted to see her, but that was only to cover my tracks. I didn’t want her to suspect that I was the one who told Jason she was wearing a wire. Jason had warned me—strictly—not to let Andrea find out I was the one that tipped him off, I was doing all the work for him and still he wanted to push me aside.And after everything I’ve done for him, he still had the guts to try

Chapter 68 Claire POV“Claire, I’m just tired,” Andrea said, slumping into the chair like the weight of the world was pressing her down.I left my seat and sat beside her, trying to offer some comfort. “Andrea, it’s going to be fine. Just trust me, okay?” I paused, then continued gently, “Uhm, Andrea… this might not be the right time, but over the phone, you said something like—Jason tried to kiss you. What happened?”I wasn’t asking out of curiosity. I needed to know the full story before I confronted Jason. That way, he wouldn’t be able to wiggle out of it.“Oh, Claire… whenever I think about that, I feel sick in my stomach.” She bent forward, holding her belly.“I can’t imagine how terrified you were when it happened. How exactly did it happen?” I asked, leaning forward, trying to make sure she knew I was there for her.“After he found out I was wearing a wire, he told me to take it off. I refused. We started struggling. Then the wireless mic fell on the floor and he smashed it. A

Chapter 69Jason POVThe cigar burned slowly between my fingers, smoke curling lazily into the night air. I sat back in the cushioned chair on my balcony, legs stretched out, eyes locked on nothing in particular. The city lights blinked in the distance like.I took another drag, letting the bitter smoke fill my lungs before exhaling with a low grunt.“Damn,” I muttered, jaw tightening. “That lunch almost ruined everything.”If Claire hadn’t told me Andrea was wearing a wire, by now I’d be all over the headlines. Andrea and Jake would be sipping wine, laughing over my downfall. That would’ve been a massive loss for me.I flicked the ash off the end of the cigar, leaning forward with my elbows on my knees. My fingers twitched slightly.“She thought she could outsmart me,” I said under my breath.I shook my head.“But Jason, you should have known,” I muttered to myself. “She called all sweet and calm, asking to meet up. The Andrea I talked to earlier that day was full of fury like she wa

Chapter 70Claire POVI meant every word I said to Jason. I wasn’t going to sit down and do nothing if he tried to play funny around me. I wouldn’t go down alone. I’d make sure to bring him down with me. Nothing—not even Jason himself—could separate us.“Baby, I got some gifts for you,” Jason said, stepping out of the closet with a big designer gift bag in his hand. He had left the room minutes ago, saying he wanted to check on some of his stuff.I didn’t flinch and kept my expression cool, but my heart fluttered with joy.“You think gifts fix everything?” I turned away from him, walked to the bed, and sat on the edge with a dramatic sigh, faking a frown.Jason chuckled softly and moved toward me. “Claire, my love…” He knelt on one knee, placing the gift beside me with careful hands. “I know you’re still mad, but I promise—something like this will never happen again.”This was exactly what I wanted—for Jason to long for me, to chase me.“It’s fine, babe,” I said, my tone softer now a

Chapter 71Andrea POVAfter my meeting with Claire, I stayed in my room. I didn’t want to see anyone. Didn’t want to talk. The walls felt safer than faces I couldn’t trust.My mom had knocked earlier, asking if I was okay, but I didn’t even open the door. I just told her I was tired.Truth was, I wasn’t tired. I was shutting down.I lay curled up on my bed, staring at the ceiling like it held answers I couldn’t find. My phone buzzed a few times, but I ignored it. I wasn’t in the mood for any conversations. I didn’t even have the energy to pretend I was okay.Everything felt loud in my head. Jason. The wire. The look on Claire’s face when I questioned her. I was falling apart, and I knew it. Maybe I should’ve handled it differently. Maybe I shouldn’t have gone to that damn lunch at all. Now Jason was somewhere laughing, probably celebrating. He had won—again—and I was stuck here, dragging the blade of regret over fresh wounds.A soft knock at the door broke through the silence.I shut

Chapter 72 Andrea - POVThe room was quiet again, but something in the air had shifted. The heaviness that had wrapped itself around my chest all day started to loosen its grip. Not completely—but enough for me to breathe again.Jake was still seated across from me, his elbows resting on his knees, eyes steady. He hadn’t looked away from me since he dropped the bomb about Jason’s money laundering. It still felt surreal, like something out of a crime drama. Every time I heard something new about Jason, I realized I never really knew the man I had spent fifteen years of my life with.A total stranger.“Tomorrow,” Jake said, breaking the silence. “We’ll go together. To his office. Face him directly.”I sat up straighter. “Okay… so what’s our plan when we get there?”“I have a document,” he said, leaning forward, voice calm but firm. “It has everything—the full list of evidence. When we get to him, we let him know we’re aware he’s been laundering money. He’ll deny it at first. That’s whe

Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Dead End
Chapter 74 The car ride to Jason’s office felt longer than it was. The city buzzed outside the window—horns blaring, people rushing by, oblivious to the storm brewing inside me. I just sat in silence. After Jake reassured me everything would turn out fine, neither of us said another word. The silence between us wasn’t awkward—it was focused, tense. Heavy. Jason’s building finally came into view, and my heart skipped. This was it. As we pulled into the underground parking lot and the car came to a stop, Jake turned to me. “Let’s go. It’s time,” he said calmly. I nodded. My fingers curled around the door handle, slick with sweat. Damn it, Andrea. Get it together. I stepped out of the car, lifted my chin, straightened my shoulders, and walked to Jake, my heels tapping with each step. Together, we headed toward the elevator. The ride-up felt like a slow climb to judgment. Each floor we passed added to the weight in my chest. Jake stood beside me, his expression unreadable. He was
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis The confrontation
Chapter 73Andrea’s POVMy eyes were open before the alarm even went off.I hadn’t slept much after Jake left my room last night. I’d been looking forward to this morning—I was too anxious to relax, my nerves were too shot to sleep. And even when I dozed off, my dreams still had me face-to-face with Jason in his office, rehearsing the confrontation over and over again.I pushed myself upright, swinging my legs over the side of the bed. As I sat there, blinking against the early light, my eyes caught the soft glow of my phone screen on the nightstand. I reached for it, thumbing through my messages lazily.That’s when I saw it—the last message from the anonymous sender.It hit me. There hadn’t been any new messages since the accident in Seattle. Had they given up tormenting me? Or… if it was Jason all along, had he decided to end his little hide-and-seek game?My thumb hovered over the screen. Just as I was about to drop the phone back down, it vibrated in my hand.Claire.Why was she c
