Isabel’s POV

The door swings open, and as Sabrina steps inside, her presence fills the room.

She’s dressed in a tailored black dress, elegant but sharp, the kind that screams power. Her red lips curl into a subtle smirk, the same confidence that her son, Alexander King always carries. She’s the chairman of the King’s Empire, after all.

I lean back in my chair, watching her with a cool, calm expression.

Aurora glances between us, clearly sensing the tension in the air. She’s not one to start drama, but she certainly knows when to step out of the line of fire. And without a beat, she rises from her seat and starts to head out.

“Uh,” she parts her mouth open, pinching the bridge of her nose. “I’ll, uh, be leaving now,” she mumbles, gesturing vaguely toward the door. “I think I got some stuff I need to get done.” She adds, practically sprinting out of the office before I can say anything.

As the door closes behind Aurora, I take a breath and turn my attention back to Sabrina. “So, you’re

    Cynthia’s POV“Damn it!” I hiss through the phone, my voice sharp. “I knew James would betray me. That fool. Couldn’t even hold out till the end.”My tone hardens, jaw clenched as I pace slowly. “That’s why I found an alternative. Now, you know what to do. No mistakes. No excuses. Or I swear, the person you love most… I won’t be sorry for what happens to them.”The other end is quiet. Not even a breath.Then—click. The call ends.I scoff, pulling the phone away and staring at the dark screen. “She dares hang up on me?” I mutter. “How rude.”A smirk curves on my lips as I chuckle coldly, shaking my head.“Well, you’ve got no choice now, Aria,” I whisper to the empty room. “It’s better you do as instructed… or say goodbye to ever seeing your mother again.”I move to the window, peering out with narrowed eyes as I let the venom rise in my thoughts.“Now, Isabel,” I murmur, low and furious, “let’s see how well you protect your precious children. By the time you find out, it’ll be too late

    Isabel’s POVThe days blur past like scattered pages in the wind. Since Dad received that call from the police, everything has been moving fast. Today is the day. The D-day.The day everything changes… and I become someone else’s wife.My mother adjusts the final layer of my dress, her fingers slow, steady. The makeup artist and hairstylist have just packed up, offering compliments and smiles before leaving the room. Now it’s just us.She steps back and clasps her hands, eyes lighting up with joy. “Oh, my dear. I’m so glad to finally see you this beautiful. And moving forward with your life.”I try to say something, but the words don’t quite come. She sees it—like she always does—and gently takes my hands in hers.“You don’t have to worry about anything, dear,” she says, squeezing softly. “The authorities already briefed us. Nothing’s going to happen. In fact, today… today everything will finally fall into place. The police will handle the rest and make sure her plans fail. You get to

  • Ex-husband’s Regret: Revenge So Sweet    281 Right before it all shifts

    Isabel’s POVI walk through the front door, and the buzz of activity greets me like a gust of wind. The scent of jollof rice, grilled chicken, and roasted plantains swirls in the air, tugging at my senses. My mother’s voice floats from the kitchen, gently instructing the cook as they move between pots. Laughter spills from the hallway, wedding preparations in full swing. Dresses rustle, footsteps shuffle across the floor, and somewhere in the background, someone’s humming.It’s warm. Familiar.But it does nothing to numb the ache in my chest.I slip past everyone quietly, my feet finding the stairs like they’re on autopilot. I barely make it halfway up when my mother calls after me.“Claire, dear! Your sister’s back. She’s been waiting for you. Come on now, dinner’s almost ready.”I force a smile, pausing for a heartbeat. Aurora. I’d almost forgotten she returned from Chicago today.I nod, continuing up the stairs to my room. Just as I sit down, the door creaks open and there she is—

    Isabel’s POVThe basement is dim, quiet except for the ragged breath of the man tied to the chair.Malik.And standing over him… Alexander, his grip tight around Malik’s collar, fury thick in his posture. I freeze at the top of the stairs, stunned. His knuckles are white. His whole body tensed. Like he’s one second away from snapping.I can’t believe what I’m seeing.Thank God I got here on time. If Monica hadn’t whispered this location to me, I wouldn’t have even known. It wasn’t easy getting it out of her—she hesitated at first. But the memory of everything we once shared must have meant something. She gave in eventually. Just enough.I step forward slowly, each movement calculated. My fists clench at my sides as I take in the scene. My voice rises before I can stop it.“Alexander!”His body stiffens. He turns slowly. Eyes meeting mine.The tension thickens instantly, wrapping itself around us like a second skin.How dare he?How dare he lock Malik down here like this—bruised, helpl

  • Ex-husband’s Regret: Revenge So Sweet    279 Before she heard

    Alexander’s POV“Are you sure you can handle this?” I ask Collins, glancing sideways at him. “I mean… I’ll understand if you don’t feel up to it. I can face Malik myself, you know that.”Collins scoffs, shifting on his feet. “And that’s exactly why I need to do this,” he says. “I don’t want to sit around, dwelling on everything. Whatever Aria decides… I have to respect that.”He exhales, then lifts his head and raises an eyebrow at me, his usual teasing spark flickering through. “And whose friend am I again?” he asks. “You think I’m going to leave you alone now? No way.”His voice tightens slightly, but he pushes through. “Now that we’ve got real info about him, I just need to make him see the risk of silence. He talks, or he loses everything. Don’t worry, Alex. I can do this.”Then he’s walking ahead, like the weight of everything he’s carrying doesn’t matter.I shove my hands into my pockets, watching him.I know he’s hurting.He’s just trying hard not to show it.Collins has always

    Isabel’s POVThe room stills.Felix’s voice crackles from the other end of the call, his tone low—shocked. “He’s not at the house,” he mutters. “Hasn’t been seen in days.”No one says a word. But the silence says everything.It confirms our suspicion. Victor, the chief of security is gone. Vanished like vapor—no trace, no trail. And just like that, the one man who could’ve led us straight to Selene is gone. Slipped through our fingers before we even knew to close them.I glance at Felix. His brows are furrowed deeply, his jaw clenching as he slowly lowers the phone. I can almost hear the wheels turning in his head. He takes a long, sharp breath before speaking, his voice steady but carrying the weight of betrayal.“I can’t believe I’ve been harboring a criminal under my roof all this time.” His voice deepens, tightens. “He’s betrayed me… and for that, he’s going to pay.”There’s no rage in his voice, just a cold promise that carries more weight than fury ever could.He turns toward my
