HER REVENGE AFTER DIVORCE CHAPTER 033
CHAPTER 033The dim light from the kitchen cast long shadows across the room, and I sat on the edge of my couch. The past few weeks had left me tangled up in a mess of thoughts. But Rowan’s behavior was not changed in a comforting way. It wasn’t love or even regret; it was calculated. Every gesture, every gift, came when I started to pull away. He was luring me back, giving me moments of warmth just to keep me tethered.How could I have missed the pattern of the flowers after our fight, the necklace on the day I met Jervis? It wasn’t kindness. It was control.A sharp knock startled me from the door. I opened my heart to my throat, but no one was there. A small package sat on the welcome mat instead. I carefully picked it up, unwrapping it slowly with trembling fingers. Inside was a sleek new phone. Its screen lit up as I touched it, displaying a single message: For emergencies.Every nerve in my body on edge, I set it down on the counter as if it might explode. I instinctively knew wh

CHAPTER 034The air in Jervis’s office was heavy, almost oppressive; the quiet found its way to a grave as Jervis spread the papers across the sleek, polished desk. The papers were more damning than the last, but it wasn’t the papers that had me on edge; it was Jervis. His jaw was tight, his green eyes sharp and unrelenting as they stared into mine. He was preparing to tell me something I wouldn’t want to hear.He said softly, but steadily, “You need to see this.” The edges of the sheet were crisp, as if the information it contained had been meticulously prepared to shatter me, and he slid it toward me.It was a tangle of numbers, names, and transactions I couldn’t make sense of. But one line, highlighted in bold yellow, caught my attention: I received a transfer of an obscene amount of money to a name I didn’t recognize. I traced the numbers with my eyes; my fingers trembled.“What am I looking at?” I whispered.Jervis leaned forward and explained, “This is one of Rowan’s accounts.”

CHAPTER 035A heavy, deliberate knock at the door jolted through my chest. My hand gripped the edge of the kitchen counter as if it could anchor me, and I froze. I already knew who it was. Rowan was always the most perfect, the most calculated. I paused, wondering if I should open the door or act as if I wasn’t home. The second knock, harder and more demanding, was the one that made me move.He was standing there, his blue eyes burning against the dim light of the hallway, when I opened the door. Impeccably dressed, he looked like he hadn’t slept in days. He stood in the doorway, and for a moment I couldn’t speak."Are you going to let me in, or do we need to have this conversation where the whole building can hear?" His tone was calm, even casual, but there was weight in his voice that made me take a step back, mindlessly.Not waiting for an invitation, he stepped inside and brushed past me with a confidence that meant I could hardly breathe in the space. My pulse quickened, and I cl

CHAPTER 036The dim light cast long shadows over the piles of papers in front of me as I sat in Jervis’s office. I turned another page; the words swung before my eyes, and my hands trembled. Every little signator told a story of betrayal I wasn’t prepared for. These weren’t random documents; this was my father’s desperation, his trust, and Rowan’s calculated cruelty.“Is this all of it?” I asked the question, my voice cracking, barely able to look Jervis in the eye.His lips pressed into a grim line, he nodded. That’s enough to prove what Rowan did. The contracts alone prove how he took over your father’s company. It gets worse when you look at the hidden transactions.”I didn’t want to look. I didn’t want to see any more how Rowan had taken everything my father had worked for. But I couldn’t stop myself. I perused through numerous emails, contracts, and other related documents. His name was Rowan, and his signature graced every deal that reduced the rest of my family to a meager exis

CHAPTER 037The last face I wanted to see was Rowan’s when I opened my door. There he was, tall and standing unyielding, his sharp blue eyes boring into mine. He didn’t wait for an invitation; he stepped inside as if he belonged here. He stepped inside without waiting for an invitation. But it was too late.The voice was calm, too calm, so he said, “We need to talk.” The atmosphere surrounding him was charged, akin to the onset of a storm.Reluctantly, I shut the door, but not in agreement. I shot back, my tone sharper than I meant to be, “I don’t think we have anything left to say.”Rowan turned to me, his face blank. “Sarah, you’re making a mistake.” His voice was steady, but there was something darker laced in it, and he stepped closer. Do you think you can fight me with those papers? Trust Jervis to protect you? “You have no idea what you’re dealing with.”I folded my arms across my chest, trying to hide my fear deep down where he couldn’t see it. “I know exactly what I’m dealing

CHAPTER 038The café felt too quiet. I looked to every shadow, every corner, as though Rowan were going to step out of the dark any second. My hands gripped the edge of the table so tightly I could feel the rough wood pressing into my palms, and the coffee in front of me had gone cold, untouched. Across from me sat Jervis, calm, collected, and completely out of sync with the chaos that was raging inside of me.He slid a manila file across the desk toward me. "This is it," he said, his voice soft but firm. Your way out.”I looked at the file like it was a dangerous thing. “Out?” I whispered, my voice cracking to the point of barely being audible. “You think it’s that simple?”His green eyes were sharp and determined. Jervis leaned forward. It’s not easy, but it can be done. Look inside.”I opened the folder with trembling hands. Plane tickets. A new ID. Another name bank account. It all stared back at me, screaming one thing: leave.“Disappear,” Jervis said, as if he could hear my thou

CHAPTER 039Rowan's arrival hit me hard. His knock wasn’t loud, but it still cut through the walls of my apartment, through my thoughts. Dread and frustration collided inside me, and my hand hovered over the doorknob. I knew it was him without having to open the door. Somehow, I always knew.I finally turned the knob, and there he was, calm but commanding, his blue eyes pinning me in place as if I were caught in some invisible snare. “We need to talk,” he said. It wasn’t a request.He stepped inside without waiting for an invitation, brushing past me and the smell of him, as familiar to me as his face was familiar. I slammed the door a little too hard, hoping he could hear the frustration in the sound.I crossed my arms over my chest and snapped, “I told you to stay away.” “You can’t just keep coming in like this.”His gaze swept over the room, and Rowan ignored my words. His presence made my small apartment seem even smaller. He spun around to face me, resting against the wall as if

CHAPTER 040 The city hummed softly below, but the penthouse was quiet. I sat on the soft sofa, staring at the steam and the coffee that Jervis had sat down in front of me. The room should’ve been warm, but my chest was tight, every breath heavier than the last. I hadn’t even taken a sip. I was trembling too much in my hands.Jervis’s voice cut through the silence, gentle enough. “You can let go here, Sarah,” he said. Across from me, he sat, elbows on his knees, green eyes steady on mine. “No judgment. Just talk.”I looked away from his gaze and swallowed hard. ‘I whispered the words, so bad my tongue felt them. Rowan came back again.’ “Same games, same warnings. He keeps telling me he’s protecting me, but all he’s doing is trapping me.”His jaw tightened, but Jervis didn’t speak right away. I looked at him, expecting him to wave it off, but he didn't.“He’s not protecting you,” he whispered. “He’s controlling you. That’s what men like him do. They make you feel like you can’t breathe

HER REVENGE AFTER DIVORCE CHAPTER 052
CHAPTER 052Rowan’s Point of ViewI waited for her to come back from wherever she’d run off to. The tension in the air was almost suffocating. No one I’d ever dealt with was like Sarah. Charm or force could not sway her. The longer I waited, the more restless I became.I looked up from where I sat when the door creaked open. Her eyes were sharp and suspicious, as if she already knew I had something planned.With a cold voice, she asked, "What now, Rowan?"I pulled the small velvet box from my pocket and stood. Giving her something so small and trivial was a ridiculous gesture, especially considering the weight of everything I'd done to her. But I had to try.I stepped closer. “This is for you.”She looked at the box, then back at me. “Do you think you can buy me off with a gift?”I held it out and admitted, “No.” “I think you deserve something that proves I’m not your enemy.”She didn’t take it. Her jaw was tight, and she just stared at me. “What is it?”“Open it and see.”As she tore

CHAPTER 051Outside the storm had calmed a little, but inside my heart was a raging mess. My fingers sifted through the yellowed papers, searching for anything that could possibly explain the whisper I'd heard earlier."You don’t need to know who you really are."Those words had burrowed themselves into my mind, scratching at me like an itch I couldn’t reach.I wasn’t alone in the room. Detective Carter stood in the corner, arms crossed, his shadow reaching across the walls. He didn’t talk much, only watched me as I looked at him with that penetrating gaze that made me feel like I was trying to unravel some mystery he couldn’t even solve himself."What are we looking for?" His voice finally broke the silence, asking, "What are we looking for?"I didn’t look up. "The truth.""What's the truth about, Sarah?"I hesitated. Did I even know? The pull, though, was stronger than my doubt, and I kept going, the fragile papers crinkling under my fingertips.Then I saw it. A name. My name."Sara

CHAPTER 050 SARAH'S POINT OF VIEW With Jervis driving us out of the chaos of the house, I listened to the soft hum of the car engine. My thoughts collided; my mind filled with ideas. I looked at him, his jaw clenched as he stared at the road. Finally, I uttered, "I don't know where to start."His grip on the steering wheel tightened, but he didn’t look at me. Sarah, you don’t have to say anything. I get it. I also think you deserve better than what Rowan’s giving you.” His words were heavy and sharp, hanging in the air. I looked out the window, the city lights all blending together. I whispered, “It’s not that simple.” Jervis' frustration was palpable, and he sighed in response. You’re making it complicated; it’s not simple. The guy’s toxic, Sarah. “You know he’s controlling you.” His bluntness made me flinch, but I didn’t argue. My mind betrayed me, flashing back to Rowan earlier that night. He had seized my arm in a commanding and desperate manner, his eyes piercing.Jervis pu
HER REVENGE AFTER DIVORCE CHAPTER 049
CHAPTER 049 SARAH’S POINT OF VIEW I heard Lilith’s laugh in my head long after she left the room. The venom in her voice and the sharpness in every word cut me deeply, leaving her wounds like tiny knives that continued to pierce me. Every time she lost her grip, her danger increased. She was unraveling. I put my head against the window and stared out into the city, tears ruining my vision until the lights became streaks. I looked into the mirror and saw a woman ripped apart, barely hanging on. I wanted to scream, to hurl something that would allow the turmoil inside me to escape. I clenched my fists so tightly that my nails dug into my palms, but instead I felt nothing.Steady footsteps dragged toward me from the hallway. My heart leapt. Rowan. The door creaked open, and he was standing there, frustration stamped across his face. As if summoned against his will, he crossed his arms and leaned against the frame.“What did Lilith say to you this time?” His voice was sharp, yet it ca
HER REVENGE AFTER DIVORCE CHAPTER 048
CHAPTER 048 SARAH’S POINT OF VIEW My apartment was silent, and I felt like I was being slowly hanged. I clenched my hands into fists on the counter, taking shallow, quick breaths, trying to stop my thoughts racing. Rowan’s last words wouldn’t stop playing in my head. Sarah, you have no idea what’s coming. But you will.” It wasn’t a threat; it was worse. It was a promise. I looked at my phone on the table; its screen was dark and ominous. I wanted to call Jervis, wanting to hear his steady, reassuring voice tell me everything would be fine. The other part, the stronger part, knew I couldn’t rely on him for this. Whatever Rowan was planning, it was for me. I hesitated, my hand hovering over the phone. The sound of a loud knock at the door knocked me out of my thoughts, and I felt my heart swell up into my throat. Not again.“Sarah, open up!” I heard the familiar voice, and relief flooded me. Jervis.I unlocked the door quickly, practically stumbling to it. His hair was slightly

CHAPTER 047 Sarah’s Point of View Even cozy in its disarray, Jervis’s apartment felt safe. The corner lamp cast soft yellow light over the wooden floors, casting long shadows. It should have been comforting, but this evening it only made me more restless. I looked out the rain-splattered window, cars blurring past below. Jervis spoke behind me, his voice low and careful. “You can’t keep doing this to yourself, Sarah." I turned, and his steady green eyes met mine. His arms crossed, he was leaning against the kitchen counter. The laxity of his demeanour could not conceal the potency in his expression, his shirt unbuttoned at the collar. “I don’t know what you mean,” I said, but we both knew I was lying. His footsteps soft but firm, Jervis took a step closer. You’re torturing yourself trying to untangle everything, Rowan, your family, all of it. At some point, you’ve got to decide what matters more: answers or peace." I ran a hand through my hair and laughed bitterly. “Peace? Af
HER REVENGE AFTER DIVORCE CHAPTER 046
CHAPTER 046 Sarah’s Point of View The whirlwind in my chest matched the storm outside. I spread the papers across the floor of my room as rain battered the windows. Contracts, letters, and half-ripped photos stared back at me, pieces of a puzzle I couldn’t yet solve. Rowan’s family was mentioned more times than I could count, and my father’s name was always attached to it in ways that didn’t make sense. I grabbed a contract stamped with the Flint Pharmaceuticals logo; the ink faded but was legible enough to make me shiver. Dated before I was born, it was a business deal between my father and Steven Flint. The implications weren’t vague, but the terms were. It wasn’t just business. This was personal. I jumped, clutching the papers to my chest, as the door creaked. His tie was loosened, his hair damp from the rain, and Rowan stood in the door. He looked tired, but his eyes were sharp, and they scanned the room, landing on the mess of documents around me. He said, his voice low,

CHAPTER 045 Sarah’s Point of View The look he shot me, Rowan, and I had hit a boiling point. He hadn’t said much since the night I’d stormed out of his study, but his silence wasn’t a relief. It was worse. I could tell that whatever was coming wasn’t going to be good, and he was waiting, planning.I was in the library, pacing back and forth, holding the photo I’d taken from the folder. Steven Flint’s face stared back at me, next to my father’s frozen smile. I had never known about this. Why had no one ever told me? Behind me, the door creaked open, and I froze. I didn’t have to turn around to know it was Rowan. His presence was dense and oppressive, like the presence of a storm cloud. “Looking for something?” His voice was calm but sharp and made my skin prickle. I held up the photo and turned to face him. “Why didn’t you tell me about this?" He looked at the photo but didn’t get any closer. “Because it doesn’t matter." “Doesn’t matter?” My voice cracked. “This is my father.
HER REVENGE AFTER DIVORCE CHAPTER 044
CHAPTER 044 Sarah’s Point of View Outside, the storm mirrored the chaos in my head. One drop after another cascaded down the windows, transforming the monotonous ticking of a clock into a looming calamity. The folder was spread open in front of me, and I sat at my desk. Each page presented a new puzzle piece that I wasn't sure I wanted to solve. Suddenly, the connection became clear. Rowan’s family was in too many documents—contracts, letters, photos—with my father’s name beside theirs. And the scariest part was how easy it all felt, like I had been played in some game by them. I noticed one paper. The photograph was old and faded at the edges. My father stood in it, next to a younger Steven Flint, Rowan’s father. They clasped hands in a firm handshake and were grinning. A laboratory, sleek and sterile, lay behind them with a sign that read *Flint Research Facility. A note was scrawled across the bottom of the photo in shaky handwriting: "For the future he and I both dreamt."
