Ex-wife becomes pregnant after divorce Chapter 58:Save him!
We packed up everything – the USB drive, the metal box, the photos, and the weird envelope with the symbol.It was like we were getting ready for some kind of covert operation. I even found an old backpack of my brother's that was totally black and looked like something a spy would use.I grabbed my flashlight again, and Jane insisted on bringing a bag of gummy bears, "for emergency energy," she said. I secretly thought she just really liked gummy bears.We met Jake at the park, near the old gazebo. He looked super freaked out, like he hadn't slept all night. His hair was all messy, and he kept looking around, like he expected Dr. Albright to pop out from behind a tree.He was a good friend of Jeffrey’s, he kept telling us he knew they had to do something, and that he wished he had noticed that something was going on. I could see that he was upset."Okay, show me everything," he said, his voice all shaky. I handed him the USB drive and the photos, and he started looking through them,

CarolineThe back roads were super bumpy, and the car kept bouncing around. It felt like we were driving through some kind of jungle, even though it was just a bunch of overgrown fields and trees.Jake kept looking out the window, like he expected a car with tinted windows to jump out and block our path. He was definitely more nervous than usual, and I couldn't blame him. I was nervous too, but I was also really angry, and the anger was making me want to go faster.Jane was unusually quiet, too, just staring out the window, chewing on a gummy bear. I could tell she was thinking about what I had said, about everything being a set-up.I didn't want her to be scared, but I also needed her to understand that we had to be extra careful. This wasn't a game anymore. It felt like we were in a real-life spy movie, and the stakes were really high.Finally, we reached the road near the warehouse. It was even creepier than in the photos. The buildings were all old and rusty, with broken windows a

Caroline pressed her back against the cold, damp brick of the building, drawing in another shaky breath. Inhale… exhale. Inhale… exhale. The rhythmic sound filled the small space between her and the wall, a counterpoint to the frantic hammering of her heart.Where was Jeffrey? That question echoed in her mind, a relentless drumbeat of worry and confusion. Had he just vanished? Or was something far more sinister at play?She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to conjure a picture of him in her mind. His kind eyes, his easy smile, the way he always seemed to know how to make her laugh. The man she knew couldn’t possibly be involved in something like this.But the nagging doubt wouldn't disappear. Could he be working with Maria? Could he have orchestrated this whole thing, the disappearance, the confusion, the fear? The thought felt like a physical blow, stealing the air from her lungs."No," she whispered, shaking her head. "He wouldn't. He couldn't."But then the images flashed back: the h

Maria’s breath caught in her throat. It wasn’t Caroline. It was worse. Much, much worse. It was Maralyn, the woman she’d hired to... well, to handle a delicate situation. The situation involving Caroline’s triplets.“Maralyn?” Maria managed, her voice trembling despite her best efforts. “What… what is it?”Maralyn’s voice was ice, each word carefully chosen, each syllable dripping with a veiled threat. “It’s about the payment, darling. The… remaining balance.”Maria’s mind raced. The kidnapping. The ransom. The chaos that had ensued when… when things went sideways. The triplets had been rescued, thank God, but the whole operation had been a disaster. A colossal failure.“Maralyn, we agreed,” Maria said, trying to regain control of the conversation. “The full payment was contingent on… certain outcomes. Outcomes that did not, shall we say, come to fruition.”Maralyn chuckled, a chilling sound that made the hairs on Maria’s neck stand on end. “Oh, I’m well aware of the… hiccups, darling

Ancelotti stood rigid, the phone clutched in his hand like a lifeline that had just been severed. The hospital administrator's words echoed in his ears, each syllable a hammer blow to his carefully laid plans.“Jeffrey checked out this morning, sir. Against medical advice. He simply… left.”Ancelotti stared blankly at the expensive cityscape framed by his office window, his mind struggling to process the information. Jeffrey… gone? Vanished? It was impossible! He was supposed to be incapacitated, vulnerable, a pawn in Ancelotti's grand scheme.A surge of fury ripped through him. He slammed his fist against the polished surface of his mahogany desk, the sound reverberating through the room. "Damn it!" he roared, the sound echoing off the walls.He sank into his leather chair, his head in his hands. Years of meticulous planning, countless hours of careful maneuvering… all potentially for nothing. Jeffrey was the key, the linchpin that held everything together. Without him, Ancelotti's d

It felt… appropriate. A stage set for the grim tableau that lay before me. Maralyn, sprawled awkwardly near the crumbling well, her lifeless eyes staring up at a sky she would never see again.Damn it all to hell. This wasn’t the script. A messy, unforeseen deviation. I’d meticulously planned every detail, anticipated every contingency… except this. A careless mistake, a loose end left untied. It smacked of amateur hour, and I loathed it.The distant wail of sirens, faint at first, quickly crescendoed into a cacophony that shattered the stillness. Expected, yes. Welcome? Decidedly not.I closed my eyes for a fleeting moment, summoning a reservoir of calm I wasn’t sure I possessed. Panic was a corrosive poison, a luxury I couldn’t afford, not now. Not ever."Freeze! Show me your hands!" The shout was jarring, amplified by the oppressive silence that had preceded it. I obeyed, raising my hands in a slow, deliberate arc, allowing the officers to fully absorb the gesture. I needed to proj

I knew they would come for her again. They were persistent, ruthless. They wouldn't give up until she was silenced for good.I needed to protect her. To shield her from the storm that was gathering on the horizon. But I also needed to uncover the truth. To unmask the puppet masters who were pulling the strings, to expose their motives, to dismantle their power.The kid. The one I had seen in the bushes near the dark place. He had witnessed too much. He posed a risk.I found him near the park a few hours later, loitering near the swings, his face pale and drawn. He tried to avoid my gaze, but I wouldn't allow it. I needed to assess him, to determine the extent of what he had seen, what he knew."You were at the abandoned building yesterday, weren't you?" I said, my voice low, devoid of menace, but laced with an undeniable undercurrent of authority.He hesitated, his eyes darting nervously. He was clearly terrified. He opened his mouth to deny it, but I cut him off."Don't lie to me," I

Ancelotti gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles white. The image of Maralyn's lifeless body flashed behind his eyes. Even though weeks had passed, the horror still felt fresh, like a bad dream he couldn't wake up from."J3ffreey," he muttered under his breath. "If he's out of that hospital… it has to be him."The abandoned house… the police reports… it all pointed to J3ffreey. Ancelotti shivered, even though the car's heater was blasting. He remembered the grainy security footage – a figure that looked like J3ffreey lurking near the abandoned house just hours before Maralyn was found.He banged his fist on the dashboard. He'd seen J3ffreey with Maralyn just days before, arguing near the old docks. Maralyn had looked terrified, and J3ffreey... well, J3ffreey had that cold, unsettling look in his eyes."But the fingerprints..." Ancelotti’s thought got cut. He ran over the memory many times and was still finding it hard to believe.He hadn't told anyone about seeing J3ffreey and Maral

The air in the hospital waiting room was thick with tension, the kind that clung to your skin like smoke. No one moved. No one breathed.“Where is he?” Maria asked, her voice calm but deadly serious.Derek held her gaze. “Safe. For now. But he’s not ready to be seen—not until we know what we’re dealing with.”Maria’s brow arched. “Meaning?”“He woke up, but not fully,” Derek said. “His memory’s fractured. He remembers the shooting, but not the face behind the gun. He asked for you, Maria… and only you.”Jake’s jaw clenched. Caroline’s heart dropped.“What about us?” Caroline asked. “What does that mean for the rest of us?”“It means,” Derek said, “he doesn’t trust anyone yet.”Damien scoffed, brushing invisible dust off his designer coat. “How convenient. The old king wakes up just in time to watch his kingdom fall apart.”Maria shot him a glare. “You’re still here?”Damien smiled thinly. “For now. But make no mistake—your king is weak. If he was truly the man he used to be, he wouldn
Ex-wife becomes pregnant after divorce Chapter 82: Game on !
Maria’s heels clicked sharply against the hospital floor as she closed the distance between herself and Damien. Her eyes didn’t flinch—icy, dangerous, and unreadable. She had seen men like him before—power-hungry sharks who smelled blood in the water and came circling. But Maria wasn’t prey. Not anymore.“You think this is the moment to make your move?” she asked coolly. “While Ancelotti lies in that bed, unconscious?”Damien spread his hands, his tone still light. “Timing is everything, darling. The city is hungry for leadership, and leadership isn’t about sentiment. It’s about action. Control. And the ability to take what’s yours without asking.”Jake snorted. “You mean stealing.”Damien tilted his head, amused. “Call it what you like. But when power changes hands, history remembers the bold, not the cautious.”Maria didn’t move. “And what makes you think you’ll be remembered at all?”Damien’s smile faltered—just for a moment—but it returned quickly. “Because while all of you argue

Cut the crap," Maria snapped. "You think I don’t know you had a hand in this?"Ric chuckled, shoving his hands into his pockets. "You give me too much credit. If I wanted Ancelotti dead, he wouldn’t be breathing right now."Maria’s jaw tightened. "Then why are you here?"Ric sighed, stepping closer. "Look, Maria. You’re smart. You know what happens next."She stayed silent, waiting.He smirked. "Ancelotti’s in a coma. His men are lost. His enemies are about to tear each other apart trying to claim his throne. And you… well, you’re in a unique position."Maria’s stomach twisted. She knew what he was getting at."You think I should take over."Ric’s smirk widened. "Not ‘should.’ Will."Maria clenched her fists. "Ancelotti isn’t dead."Ric’s eyes darkened. "But he might as well be. And the longer you wait, the more unstable things become."Maria swallowed hard. She hated how right he was.The underworld didn’t pause for anyone—not even for Ancelotti.If she didn’t step up, someone else w
Ex-wife becomes pregnant after divorce 80:Blood &Betrayal
The deafening gunshot shattered the night air.Jane’s heart lurched as she pulled Caroline toward the back door. Every instinct screamed at her to move faster. She couldn’t let Ancelotti or his men catch them.Another gunshot rang out, followed by the sound of tires screeching on the pavement."Get down!" Jane hissed, forcing Caroline behind the kitchen counter just as bullets tore through the front door. Glass shattered. Wood splintered. The entire house shook under the assault."Jake!" Caroline gasped, panic flashing in her eyes.Jane's mind raced. If Jake had fired first, that meant—"Shit," Jane muttered, crawling toward the back window. She peeked through the curtain and saw Jake crouched behind his car, gun raised, returning fire.Ancelotti stood in the open, unbothered. His men flanked him, their weapons trained on Jake.Caroline's breath hitched. "Jane, we have to stop this."Jane grabbed her wrist. "No. We need to get out of here before—"The front door exploded inward.A tal
Ex-wife becomes pregnant after divorce 79: Dangerous realization
Jane sat across from Jake in a quiet, dimly lit café, her fingers idly stirring her untouched cup of coffee. The tension between them was thick, a silent battle of thoughts playing in their minds.Jake had been hesitant about speaking up for weeks now, but after everything that had happened—the near-fatal shooting, Caroline’s erratic behavior, and Maria’s suspicious alliance—he couldn’t keep quiet any longer.“Jane, I need to tell you something.” Jake’s voice was low, cautious.Jane lifted her gaze, her expression wary. “What is it?”Jake leaned forward, lowering his voice further. “I feel like Ancelotti is the reason why your sister is so disturbed. You need to let her get rid of him.”Jane’s brows furrowed, her grip tightening around her spoon. “Get rid of who? Jake, Ancelotti is the father of my sister’s triplets.”Jake froze. His breath caught in his throat. “Really?”“Yes,” Jane whispered, glancing around nervously. “Keep quiet. That’s a secret.”Jake’s mind reeled. That changed
Ex-wife becomes pregnant after divorce 78: "Part of us."
Days passed in a blur of preparation and careful maneuvering. Maria played her part perfectly, slipping into Ancelotti’s world as if she had always belonged there.She knew how to charm, how to manipulate, and how to make people believe what she wanted them to believe. Every word she spoke to Ancelotti was carefully chosen, every look calculated.She made him feel safe, secure, as though she was a confidant he could trust above all others.But in the back of her mind, she never lost sight of the bigger picture. She wasn’t just here to be another pawn in Ancelotti’s empire. She was here to take it.She had already begun to plant the seeds of doubt. It was subtle at first—a whispered word here, a carefully timed gesture there.She played on his insecurities, feeding him just enough to make him question his own people. His confidence, so carefully built over years, was starting to crack.And then, one night, as Maria sat across from Ancelotti at a lavish dinner, she knew the moment had a
Ex-wife becomes pregnant after divorce 77: Hidden legacy!
Maria listened intently, her mind already working through the strategy in her head. She could see how it might work—Ancelotti was a family man, and like most people, he would do anything to protect his loved ones. But there were complications.The family wasn’t the only thing that made Ancelotti dangerous. His empire was built on loyalty and fear, two things that couldn’t be easily manipulated.“And what if Ancelotti doesn’t care enough about his family?” Maria asked, her tone casual, but her eyes searching for a flaw in Henderson’s plan.Henderson’s lips twitched with a small, calculating smile. “Oh, he will. There’s no doubt in my mind. And even if he doesn’t, we’ll make him. We’ll create a crisis, something he can’t ignore.His empire is delicate, Maria. His people are loyal—but loyalty only lasts as long as it’s convenient.”Maria considered that. She had known men like Ancelotti before—men who prided themselves on their control, their power, their ability to build empires. But em
Ex-wife becomes pregnant after divorce 76: Gratitude
Henderson chuckled softly, the sound of it echoing in the quiet room like a predator's growl. "You’re not just the key, Maria. You’re the master key. You’ve got connections, brains, and an instinct for power. You're the only one who can pull it off."Maria felt a small thrill at his words. There was no denying the fact that she had always been good at getting what she wanted.But there was something about this—the weight of the decision—that was different. Ancelotti wasn’t just a man to eliminate; he was a rival, a force to be reckoned with."And what exactly are you proposing?" she asked, her voice steady, though her mind raced with possibilities.Henderson’s eyes gleamed, and he leaned in closer, as if sharing a secret. "Ancelotti has a weakness. It’s not the obvious ones, the ones that people would think of. No, his real vulnerability lies in his people. His loyalty, or rather, his misplaced sense of loyalty."Maria’s interest piqued. "Explain.""Ancelotti has always protected his
Ex-wife becomes pregnant after divorce 75: Thankful night
The night air was thick with the scent of expensive cigars and aged whiskey.The chandelier above cast a golden glow over the long mahogany dining table, its polished surface reflecting the flickering candlelight.The setting was intimate, elegant—exactly how Mr. Henderson liked things.Maria sat across from him, legs crossed, her silk dress clinging to her figure as she swirled the red wine in her glass. A slow smirk played on her lips. The rich, velvety taste coated her tongue as she took a sip, savoring the moment.She was no fool—this dinner wasn’t just about gratitude. It was a chess move.And in chess, every piece had a role.She watched as Henderson leaned back in his chair, his piercing blue eyes studying her like a man who had already won.His salt-and-pepper hair was slicked back, his suit tailored to perfection, his watch gleaming under the dim lights. He was the kind of man who carried himself like royalty—because in his world, he was king.But Maria?Maria had no intentio
