My Ex-Wife's Hidden Identity chapter 13
Rita’s patience had worn thin, the sting of Linet’s insults festering deep inside her. She had been calm, composed, and controlled until now, but something snapped. Her hand moved faster than she could think, and with a sharp, resounding crack, her palm collided with Linet’s cheek.The sound of the slap echoed through the office, leaving a stunned silence in its wake.Linet’s head jerked to the side, her hair flying with the force of the blow. For a moment, she was frozen, her eyes wide in shock, as if she couldn’t comprehend what had just happened. The employees standing around them watched in disbelief, some whispering to each other in hushed tones while others simply stood there, too stunned to move.Linet’s hand instinctively went to her face, her fingers tracing the spot where the slap had landed, and then, with a growl of fury, she snapped.“You bitch!” she yelled, her voice venomous. Without thinking, Linet lunged at Rita, shoving her hard in the chest. The force of the push se

Rita stormed into Harry’s office, her eyes burning with fury. She barely glanced at the secretary as she marched straight past her, the sharp click of her heels echoing through the hallway. She didn’t knock, just opened the door wide and let herself in, slamming it behind her.“Harry,” she snapped, her voice laced with frustration. “The company’s management needs a serious revisiting.”Harry was sitting behind his desk, a half-smile tugging at the corner of his lips as he watched his sister pace back and forth, her movements sharp and tense. He leaned back in his chair, doing his best to remain calm, though he couldn’t help but feel a little amusement bubbling inside him. Rita was adorable when she was angry, her cheeks flushed, her lips pursed in that familiar, fiery expression."Rita, calm down," Harry said, his tone soothing. He leaned forward slightly, trying to keep the situation under control. He had seen her like this before, and he knew it was just a matter of time before she'

That evening, Rita stepped out of her car and took a deep breath of the cool night air. The soft lights of the lounge glowed warmly in front of her, and inside, music drifted gently through the windows. She had chosen this spot intentionally—quiet, familiar, and far away from the chaos of the company drama. She needed a break, and there was only one person she could truly relax around: her longtime friend, Janet.Janet was already waiting at a cozy corner booth, waving enthusiastically the moment she saw Rita. With her ever-vibrant energy and sassy charm, Janet was the kind of friend who made the weight of the world feel lighter—at least for a while.“Girl! You finally made it!” Janet said, getting up to hug her. “I was beginning to think you chickened out on me.”Rita chuckled softly, easing into the seat across from her. “I needed a breather. Work’s been… a mess.”Janet arched a brow playfully. “That serious? Come on, spill it.”The waitress arrived and took their orders. Janet orde

It wasn’t planned, and honestly, everything at work is turning into a circus. Linet’s been a nightmare, the manager’s playing favorites, people are whispering behind my back—”“And you’ve got a whole tiny human in there while dealing with that mess?” Janet gasped. “You deserve an award—or maybe a foot massage. Or both!”“I just wanted a break tonight,” Rita said, sipping her juice. “To be with someone who doesn’t have a hidden agenda.”Janet leaned over and squeezed her hand. “You’ve always been the strong one, Ri. I know things are messy now, but you’re not alone. You’ve got me. And this baby? This baby is going to have the coolest mom ever.”Rita’s eyes misted over, but she blinked quickly and gave Janet a teary smile. “You’re the best.”Janet grinned. “Duh. Now finish your juice, mama. We’re toasting to new beginnings—with vitamin C, of course.”They both laughed, and for the first time in days, Rita felt like herself again. The fight, the gossip, the betrayal—none of it mattered i

The Day Before the Big Bid Presentation – Office headquartersThe air in the office was thick with pressure. Desks were littered with coffee cups, sticky notes, and half-eaten snacks. The marketing team had been working around the clock for days preparing for the most crucial bid of the year—an international project that could thrust the company into an entirely new league.Everyone was exhausted, running on fumes and anticipation. Yet no one complained. This deal was everything.Rita sat in the conference room, laptop open, fine-tuning the final slides. Despite her fatigue and the quiet flutters in her belly reminding her she wasn’t alone anymore, she stayed focused. This presentation was her responsibility. Her department. Her name on the line.But somewhere down the hallway, behind the tinted glass of the executive office, Anita leaned back in her chair, a malicious smirk curving her lips.“She’s too confident lately,” Anita muttered to Linet, who stood by the door like a guard dog

When the office buzz finally dulled and the storm of sabotage settled into quiet whispers, Rita found herself alone at her desk, the glow of her computer casting soft shadows across her weary face. Her fingers absentmindedly grazed the edge of a delicate bouquet placed on the corner—white lilies and blush roses, fresh and fragrant.She hadn’t thought much of them at first. With everything going on—the chaos, the shame attempt, the endless meetings—they had simply been a gentle backdrop to her madness. But now, in the calm after the storm, her gaze drifted to the small card tucked between the stems.She pulled it out slowly, her eyes narrowing on the neat, careful handwriting.“Just a reminder: you are stronger than you think. – ”Her breath caught.Anthony.A soft, nostalgic smile tugged at the corners of her lips. Of course it was him. Anthony had always had this quiet way of showing up—never loud, never demanding, but always… present. Always watching out for her like the older broth

Rita couldn’t sleep. The discovery that Linet had been stalking her was bad enough, but her gut told her there was more—something deeper and more sinister. She decided not to stop at Fred’s findings.With her brother's help, she pulled call logs, pieced together timelines, and tapped into a few conversations through a trusted source in IT. What she uncovered next made her blood run cold.Linet had met Sarry. Multiple times.One particularly telling message exchange showed a planned meeting at a quiet café in town—days before the dramatic restaurant outburst.“I’ll get you what you need. Just make sure she feels it.” —Linet“I need proof. I can't embarrass myself without something solid.” —SarryNow it all made sense.The staged photo. The perfect timing. The convenient rage.Rita’s heart pounded. They had planned it—conspired behind her back to ruin her publicly, all because of jealousy and unreciprocated love.Later that afternoon, as Rita was still processing the betrayal, her phone

Back in the village, Linet's return was met with a mix of tension and anticipation. She had spent the last few days trailing Rita, gathering information, and now she had news to share that would shake the very foundation of Rita’s carefully built life. As soon as she arrived at James’s house, she found him sitting on the porch, staring into the distance.Linet approached with a knowing look, and James immediately straightened, sensing something was off.“What’s going on?” James asked, his tone sharp.Linet smiled, but it wasn’t the smile of someone bringing good news. “I found her,” she said, her voice low and conspiratorial. “Rita’s been working in a big company in the city. She’s a big shot now—running things, making decisions. She’s living the life she always dreamed of, and she’s doing it at your expense.”James’s eyes darkened, his jaw tightening. “A company?” he repeated, his fists clenching. “So she’s in the city now, huh?”Linet nodded, her eyes gleaming with a mix of jealousy

Her father gave her a long, scrutinizing look before pulling her into a bear hug as well. “You’ve been away for too long. How are you? And… how are the boys?” he asked, his voice filled with genuine concern.“The babies are fine,” Rita replied, her heart swelling with affection for the tiny creatures that had changed her life. “They’re so much work, but so worth it.”Her mother stepped forward, gently placing her hands on Rita’s shoulders. “You look good, my dear. You’ve blossomed. I can see the happiness in you, even though I know it hasn’t been easy.”Rita smiled, nodding. “It hasn’t been easy, but I’m happy now. Everything’s going well. I’m finally settling in.”As her parents entered the house, they were introduced to the nursery, where the twins were peacefully sleeping in their cribs. Rita’s heart swelled as she watched her parents' faces soften at the sight of their grandsons.Her father stepped forward, admiring the little ones. “They’re beautiful. I see so much of Adrian in t

The house had barely settled back into the joyous atmosphere when the front doors slammed open again.The echo rang through the air as Sophie and James were dragged back into the limelight — but this time, it was a humiliating, bitter spectacle.Sophie’s carefully curated appearance had already started to unravel.Her red dress that once looked fierce and confident now appeared out of place, like the outfit of someone trying to hold onto their power that was quickly slipping away.Her perfectly painted makeup had begun to smear with the tears she couldn’t hold back.James, on the other hand, tried to mask his panic with a cocky, defiant smile.But his attempt at maintaining control was shattered when the guards escorted them directly into the middle of the hall, the center of all eyes.“This is your last chance,” Mr. Drake’s voice thundered through the room.The gathered family members looked on with curiosity, shock, and disgust.Adrian had never felt more disgusted in his life.His

Inside the hospital room, the atmosphere was light, warm, almost sacred.Adrian sat at Rita’s side, one baby asleep in his arms, the other tucked against Rita’s chest.Mr. Drake — the once cold, stern patriarch — stood by the window, hands behind his back, occasionally glancing at his grandsons with a rare smile softening his weathered face.Mrs. Drake couldn't stop fussing over the babies, cooing softly and wrapping the twins in tiny blankets she had rushed to buy.Adrian's sister was already taking pictures secretly, unable to contain her excitement at becoming an aunt.It felt surreal — like a wound that had long been open was finally being stitched closed.The Drakes — once divided, cold, and controlled by expectations — were finally feeling like a real family again.They started discussing plans for a small private welcome dinner, just close family only, to properly receive Rita and the twins into the Drake family.Mrs. Drake was excitedly suggesting decorations and baby gifts wh

Francis was spiraling.His father's threat echoed endlessly in his mind.If the world finds out… you're no longer my son.He could feel the walls closing in.Every whisper in the hallway, every glance from the house staff, felt heavier now — like they knew.Like everyone knew.And Linet…She wasn't staying quiet.Across town, Linet was preparing for war.She sat at her vanity, fixing her flawless makeup with steady hands, while her eyes gleamed with a dangerous light.She picked up her phone and sent a mass message to the elite social circle:"Exclusive family announcement coming soon. You won't want to miss it.Location: Dalton Estate.Time: Dinner party tomorrow.Dress to impress."Then, she called her lawyer."I want all legal documents ready," she said crisply. "If Francis tries to divorce me, I want full rights to use his infertility reports. Make it messy."The lawyer hesitated. "Are you sure you want to go that far?""I was thrown away like trash," Linet hissed. "It's their tur

Thrown out like garbage.Humiliated in front of everyone.Linet sat alone in a dim hotel room that night, staring blankly at the city lights. The shame burned through her skin like acid — but she didn’t cry. No, Linet wasn’t the crying type. She was the kind that bled inside until the blood turned to venom.“They think they won,” she muttered darkly to herself.“They think they’re so perfect...”A cruel smile curved her lips.Let them laugh now. Let them celebrate.Because when she was done, they would all regret the day they crossed her.Especially Francis.A few days later, Linet sent a calm, polite message to Francis:"Can we talk? Just a final conversation. I’ll even buy you coffee."To her surprise — or maybe not — Francis agreed.Guilt gnawed at him; maybe he felt he owed her that much.They met at a discreet little café, far from the estate’s judging eyes. Linet looked stunning — composed, almost saintly in a soft blue dress, no sign of the hellfire brewing inside her.Francis

Back at the city, darkness brewed beneath the surface.Mary, still recovering from everything she had been through, knew she couldn't let Linet’s lies continue any longer.After everything Linet had done — manipulating, lying, scheming — Mary had found out the ugly truth: Linet’s pregnancy was nothing but a well-played act to trap Francis and the entire family.Mary decided the upcoming family dinner would be the perfect stage to expose Linet publicly — in front of everyone Linet was trying to fool.She began gathering evidence carefully — doctor's reports, witness statements, and even a secret recording of Linet bragging to a "friend" about how her "baby bump" was nothing but a prosthetic trick for now.Mary was careful, calculating — she knew Linet was dangerous when cornered.What Mary didn’t know, however, was that Linet had already sensed the threat.Her instincts were sharp.She knew Mary wasn’t the type to stay quiet, especially after the last tense confrontation they had.Pani

Sophie stood frozen outside the hospital doors, her hands clenched tightly into fists.She could barely believe what had just happened.After all the years of loyalty, after enduring Adrian’s coldness for so long, his mother — the one person she thought she could rely on — had abandoned her without a second thought.Abandoned her... for Rita's babies.Tears of rage and humiliation welled up in her eyes.She had supported the engagement, she had tolerated Adrian’s indifference, and now, she was nothing but a discarded afterthought.Choking on her sobs, she pulled out her phone and called her father."Dad..." she whimpered the moment he picked up."I’ve been humiliated... She left me... for those... those babies!" she cried.Her father tried to calm her, but Sophie wasn't listening.The rage was blinding.She shoved the phone into her purse and stormed off down the street, not caring where she was going, bumping into strangers without apology.She was too angry to notice anything.That

Sophie wasn't done.Not by a long shot.Ever since Adrian had stubbornly refused to leave the pregnant woman she called "trash," Sophie had been plotting.She knew Adrian’s weakness — his family.If she couldn’t get him back with sweet words or tears, she'd drag his mother into it.After all, Adrian’s mother had high standards.There was no way she’d approve of a woman she had never heard of — a woman carrying a child that might not even be Adrian's."Let’s go," Sophie urged, practically dragging Adrian’s mother and sister into her car.They drove quickly across the city to Adrian’s house, Sophie’s heart pounding with triumph.Today, she thought, she would expose Rita for good.But when they arrived, the house was eerily quiet.No Rita.No sound of life.Adrian’s mother frowned."Where is she?" she asked coldly.Sophie immediately dialed Adrian’s number with trembling fingers, trying to hide her panic.He picked up after a few rings, his voice rushed and anxious."I’m at the hospital,

The soft rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor filled the room, a steady pulse of life in an otherwise tense and fragile silence. The morning sun filtered through the pale curtains, casting gentle streaks of gold across the hospital floor.Rita stirred slightly.Adrian looked up, his eyes bloodshot from staying awake all night. He had barely moved from her side, watching her, whispering apologies, regretting every moment he hadn’t spoken the truth.“Rita?” he leaned closer, his heart suddenly racing with anticipation and fear.Her lashes fluttered, slowly revealing her eyes — red-rimmed, dull, and unreadable.He smiled faintly, relieved. “You’re awake… thank God.”But Rita didn’t smile. She didn’t speak. She simply blinked, and her gaze drifted away from him, toward the ceiling.Adrian’s throat tightened.“Rita… I was so scared. I thought I—”“Why didn’t you tell me?” Her voice was hoarse but carried enough weight to silence him instantly.Adrian froze. “I… I didn’t know how. I was af
