My Ex-Wife's Hidden Identity chapter 24
Two days after the scandalous encounter at the company’s gates, life had seemingly returned to normal, but Rita felt a heaviness in her chest she couldn’t shake. There was a gnawing sense of unease following her everywhere—from her office to her car, even at the café across the street where she usually grabbed her late-day coffee.That day, as she left work slightly later than usual, she had the nagging feeling again. She stopped at a bookstore, pretended to browse through a shelf of novels, and turned quickly—only to catch a flash of someone ducking behind a pillar outside.Her instincts went on high alert.This had gone on for too long.She reached out to her personal driver, Charles, and asked him to take a different route back home. They made several confusing turns through traffic, but the same car—unfamiliar and tinted—kept trailing them a few lengths back.Enough was enough.Rita made a few calls, and by the following morning, her private investigator had gathered the truth.Sh

The sun had risen higher than usual by the time Rita stirred from her sleep. Her body felt heavier than normal, her mind clouded from the endless plotting and emotional warfare she’d endured lately. Still, she forced herself out of bed, wrapping herself in a robe and stepping into her slippers.Downstairs, the house was unusually quiet, Harry already gone to work, and the help likely in the kitchen. Rita yawned and began descending the stairs, one hand clutching the mahogany railing.Halfway down, her foot slipped.CRACK.Her scream tore through the silence like a knife.“AAAHHHH!”Her body tumbled violently, hitting step after step—her arms flailing, her head bouncing off the wooden edge. Her robe tangled around her legs, her cry becoming weaker with each roll until she landed in a crumpled heap at the foot of the staircase.“Miss Rita!” the maid shrieked from the hallway, dropping the tray she was carrying. The sound of shattering porcelain echoed, but no one cared.The butler rushe

Anthony was in the middle of a crucial meeting with potential investors—three international partners who had flown in that morning, eyes sharp and pens ready to sign off a deal that had taken weeks to prepare. Seated at the head of the conference table, Anthony was calm and composed, flipping through the proposal with confidence, responding to every inquiry with poise.Just then, his assistant, Nina, burst into the room, breathless and visibly pale.Everyone turned to her in surprise.“Sir… I’m sorry to interrupt but—”Anthony looked up, a slight crease forming between his brows. “What is it, Nina?”She hesitated, then said in a low, urgent voice, “It’s Rita. She’s been rushed to the hospital.”Time froze.The pen in Anthony’s hand slipped and clattered to the table. His eyes widened. “What…?”“She fell down the stairs, sir. She’s in critical condition. The family’s already there—”Anthony didn’t wait to hear more. “Excuse me, gentlemen,” he said sharply, standing up so fast his chair

The room was quiet except for the faint hum of the machines surrounding Rita. Anthony sat beside her, his gaze never leaving her face. He had been waiting for her to wake up, to speak with her, to finally tell her everything he’d been holding back. And now that she was awake, his heart pounded in his chest as he searched for the right words.Rita's hand was still in his, her fingers gently curling around his as if she was afraid he might slip away. She looked so fragile, her face pale but her eyes bright with recognition.“You’re awake…” Anthony whispered, as though he couldn’t quite believe it.Rita nodded slowly, a soft smile tugging at her lips. “I’m awake… and I’m okay,” she replied weakly, though she still felt weak, fragile.Anthony leaned forward, his face serious as he held her hand tighter. “I’m so sorry, Rita. This shouldn’t have happened.”Her eyes softened. “You don’t have to apologize. It wasn’t your fault.”But he shook his head, his eyes never leaving hers. “It’s my fau

He had watched silently from afar for the past two days, observing Anthony’s devotion, the way he hovered protectively around his sister. But now, it was time to speak his mind.Anthony barely looked up when Harry opened the door and stepped in.“We need to talk,” Harry said, voice low but firm.Anthony turned his gaze to him and nodded. “Let’s step out. I don’t want to wake her.”They moved out to the hallway, where the dim lights cast soft shadows across the walls. The moment the door shut behind them, Harry’s calm demeanor shifted.He stepped closer, folding his arms across his chest. “I’ve been watching you, Anthony. Sitting by her side like a saint, like a man in love. And I need to ask you—what exactly do you want with my sister?”Anthony straightened, his expression sincere but unreadable. “I want to protect her. I want to be there for her and the baby. That’s all I’ve ever wanted.”Harry scoffed softly. “That’s not an answer. Don’t give me vague promises. She’s been through he

Back at the company headquarters, the atmosphere had subtly shifted.With Rita confined to a hospital bed and the family’s focus entirely on her well-being, a quiet tension brewed in the air—like the stillness before a storm. Linet and Anita had assumed temporary charge in her absence, both wearing masks of concern, pretending to be supportive and dutiful. But behind the façade, wheels were turning, fast and ruthlessly.They’d been waiting for this window—just a sliver of opportunity to execute what had long been brewing in the dark.Departments started reporting strange changes in protocols. Approvals that usually required Rita’s sign-off were being mysteriously bypassed. Confidential files were accessed under vague “executive orders.” And key clients had started receiving whispers from the inside—hints of instability, doubts about the company’s leadership.Linet’s people were acting fast—dispatching coded memos, quietly altering figures, siphoning data from the finance department. A

Martin sat alone in his office that night, the only light coming from the bright glow of his computer screens. Files, footage, call records—everything Anita had been involved in—were laid out before him like a well-designed trap that finally made sense.And then it all clicked.Linet.The pattern was eerily similar. Linet had been involved in strange side meetings, secretive phone calls, and suspicious absences. But now, the call Anita had made confirmed it. The distorted voice on the other end… Martin had heard it before. He ran it through a voice modulation program, stripped away the distortion, and narrowed down potential matches from archived surveillance data.And there it was.A man named Cyrus Muwanga.He was a known corporate predator—one who had a reputation for manipulating employees within organizations to steal confidential data, especially before high-stake biddings. He would sell the data to rival companies or use it to sabotage competitors.Martin leaned back in his cha

James stormed into the dimly lit apartment he and Linet had been using as a hideout for the past few weeks. The door slammed behind him with a loud bang, rattling the picture frames on the wall. His face was flushed with rage, his suit jacket half-hanging off one shoulder, tie yanked loose like a noose he couldn't wait to be rid of.Linet, who was already pacing the living room, flinched. “James, calm down—”“Don’t tell me to calm down!” he roared, shoving a glass off the table. It shattered against the floor, sending shards everywhere. “I told you not to get cocky! You said everything was under control!”Linet turned on him, eyes blazing. “It was under control until your stupid temper drew attention to us. You let your pride blind you! You were more interested in mocking Rita than staying sharp!”He marched toward her, jabbing a finger into the air. “Don’t you dare pin this on me! If you hadn’t dragged me into your schemes with that snake of a boss, I’d still have a job!”“You wanted

The following morning, the air around Antony’s family home buzzed with tension and anticipation.Detective Mills and his team had requested an emergency meeting. Everyone, from Lydia to Antony’s grieving parents, gathered anxiously in the drawing room, their nerves raw from weeks of grief and unanswered questions.Detective Mills walked in with a laptop tucked under his arm and a hard, unreadable look in his eyes."We have news," he announced, his voice sharp and clear. "We were able to recover the surveillance footage that had been wiped from the hospital’s security system."A heavy silence fell across the room.Everyone leaned forward as Mills placed the laptop on the table and pulled up the footage.What appeared on the screen made every heart in the room stop.There, clear as day, was the image of a woman sneaking into Antony’s hospital room the night he died. She moved with eerie precision, her face partially covered but unmistakable to those who knew her.It was James’s mother.

While the Drakes and Rita's family were planning a new chapter filled with joy and beginnings, far from their world, another family was consumed by grief and questions — Antony's family.The suddenness of Antony's death had left a gaping wound, one that no condolences or prayers could heal. His parents, once lively and full of pride, now seemed like mere shadows of themselves. Their once grand estate felt cold and hollow, haunted by whispers of what could have been — and more darkly, what truly happened.The police investigation was tireless. Antony’s father had spared no expense, hiring not only private investigators but also forensic experts to comb through every detail surrounding his son's death. Reports were piling up — some inconsistent, some deeply unsettling.There was no peace at home either. Every conversation, every glance, was thick with suspicion and despair.And then there was Lydia.Since the day Antony was pronounced dead, Lydia had not been the same. She moved through

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
