My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 127
ARIA’S POVWhen I think about Brad Johnson, I wonder how he can even introduce himself under his real name at that disgusting party. Any person with sound reasoning will never do such a thing. Then an idea struck me—I need to investigate the name and find out who it really belongs to.Therefore, I go on Google, open the search bar, and carefully type in the name, hoping to uncover any information about its true owner. My fingers hover over the keyboard for a moment, my mind racing with possibilities. As I hit 'Enter,' I feel a mix of anticipation and anxiety, eager to see what the search results would reveal.The information on the website reads:Brad Johnson, born on April 15, 1980, in a small town in Ohio, is a businessman who has navigated the ups and downs of the corporate world with resilience and perseverance. Raised in a middle-class family, Brad was instilled with values of hard work and determination from a young age.Brad Johnson's story is not one of fame or fortune, but ra

ARIA’S POVI hear the ringing tone on the other line and finally he picks up.“Hello, yes?”“It’s me, Aria Cook!”There's silence on the other end of the line, followed by a contemptuous sneer. How utterly outrageous.“You want to be fucked by me, huh?”“In your dreams, Brad!”What a narcissist! I roll my eyes in frustration at his demeanor. Does he seriously think I regret not sleeping with him?!He laughs again, and honestly, it's grating. His arrogance is infuriating. But soon enough, I'm certain he'll be silenced.“I’m giving you one chance… Only one.”My tone turns severe, cutting through the air like a blade. His laughter abruptly ceases, leaving a tense silence in its wake. I'm certain his smirk has faded by now, replaced by a flicker of uncertainty. He must be wondering what's coming his way.Immediately, I sternly demand that he confess to his actions and provide compensation to all the young women he has assaulted. Furthermore, I insist that he should personally apologize to

ARIA’S POVSophia really needs to learn a serious lesson. I can't believe that all these years, before he met me, he was dating her, and after our marriage, when she returned, he slept with her—or so he claims, saying she tricked him— and if Adam gets to know more about Sophia, he’ll be more shattered.But I'm not here to seek justice for Adam; I'm here for myself and those young women Sophia wronged. Adam can figure out how he wants to handle Sophia, or even try to save her for all I care. You never know with Adam Miller—his unpredictability infuriates me, but my focus remains on ensuring justice for the victims.Knowing that someone like Sophia won't withstand the pressure. She needs to face the full weight of her actions and finally crack under the stress. It's only then that she might understand the gravity of the harm she's caused.First, I need to track her down. According to the information Mario provided, she was seen in public just a few days ago, but now no one seems to know

ADAM’S POVI can't believe what Sophia has done! I just found out that she invited Aria to a business party with the sinister intention of trapping her. Her plan was to drug Aria and have her sexually assaulted by that scumbag, Brad Johnson. What's worse, not many people realize that Brad has a history of sexual assault allegations, although all charges against him were eventually dropped.Now I understand why Grandpa never liked Sophia and never approved of her being my wife. Grandpa always trusted his instincts more than his heart or mind. I'm grateful for that wisdom. At least Aria came into my life, and I'm determined to win her back, no matter how long it takes or what I have to do.Sophia is the weak link in this case and right now, I need to find her. I’ll need to make sure everyone who has been involved in hurting my Aria, should be punished.I clench my fists in anger, tempted to throw punches at that guy, when suddenly, a golden opportunity knocks on my door.I see Sophia.

ARIA’S POVI am hoping with all my heart that this time I can trust Adam to catch Sophia. If I don't enlist his assistance, she might slip away forever, or the bad guys could continue trapping innocent girls. The stakes are too high to risk doing it alone and I can feel that time is running out.It's that gut-wrenching feeling that keeps punching you deep inside, pushing you to act immediately and set things right.As soon as I reach Adam's house, I'm appalled to see Sophia there! Suddenly, a wave of betrayal washes over me, making me question my trust in Adam.While Adam greets me with a warm smile, I can't help but notice Sophia's tear-streaked face. It makes me wonder what story she might have spun this time to elicit his sympathy.The burning question in my mind is whether Adam has been duped by her again. Her presence here, and his welcoming demeanor, fill me with doubt and frustration.Just then, Sophia’s gaze turn on me. In a flash, she runs towards me, clutches at my feet, begg

ARIA’S POVRight now, I have more pressing matters than dealing with Sophia. When I left Adam's house that day, Mario had already secured us a skilled lawyer for our case. His name is Lucas Donovan. Mario informs me that he is a principled man who consistently handles rape and assault cases, and so far, he has won all of them.Moreover, Mario tells me that he has found more victims willing to sue both Jared and Brad. I feel immensely relieved and empowered, knowing that I have an army supporting me in this fight.Today is the day I step into Brad’s supposedly prestigious office tower, not just to deliver an important message, but to personally hand him his doom.When I enter the front desk, the receptionist calls Brad's personal assistant to see if Brad is available to meet with me. It seems that Brad is very eager to meet because the receptionist quickly guides me into Brad’s office.The smug look on his face makes me want to punch him.“Looks like you can’t get enough of me, huh?”I

BRAD’S POVAh, the day has finally come where I'll stand in the accused box and be judged. After so many years of evading justice, I shall face everyone once again.What does she think of herself, really? She's devoid of any proof against me, yet she's brazenly attempting to manipulate and pressure me into confessing to crimes just to ensnare me. It's infuriating how she underestimates my resolve and tries to play games with my future.Nobody has ever been able to harm me. I see myself as invincible for two compelling reasons; firstly, there are no witnesses, and even if there were any, they are all my close associates who share a bond of loyalty that ensures their silence.Secondly, as I explained to Aria earlier, there is no concrete evidence against me. We meticulously planned each instance to ensure there were no surveillance cameras to capture our actions.In the past, whenever women attempted to involve the police, we skillfully manipulated the situation in our favor. Today, I a

ARIA’S POVAs I step into the courthouse’s waiting area, my gaze locks onto Brad and Jared.Of course, I pay them no attention.Suddenly, Brad comes at me in a very pleading manner. I am really appalled at his abrupt change in behavior, wondering what has gotten into him.“Please, Miss Aria.. Please, take back the case.”Did I hear that right? Is Brad really begging me and speaking to me with respect? It's hard to believe after everything that's happened. He is literally crawling at my feet just like Sophia.“I didn’t know you were Neal Jackson’s sister, else I wouldn’t have misbehaved with you.”Wow! Really? His words ignite a fiery rage within me. He is begging me because he has found out that I am not bluffing; I am Neal Jackson’s sister.“So, if I wasn’t Neal’s sister then you would have found it fair to assault me?”I confront him, recounting in vivid detail the lives he has shattered and the deep trauma he has inflicted upon those women. I remind him what he would have done to me

My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 446
ARIA’S POVLydia’s tears dry up as she slowly turns away, ready to leave the hospital room. Her steps are hesitant, burdened by the weight of everything she’s confessed, and by the knowledge that she might be walking out of Ethan’s life forever. There’s a palpable sense of finality in the way she carries herself, like someone resigned to their fate.But just as her hand reaches the door, Ethan calls out her name.“Lydia.”Everyone freezes for a moment. Lydia stops in her tracks, her back still turned, and I can see the subtle rise and fall of her shoulders as she takes in what just happened. The room is tense, filled with emotions that swirl and collide like waves in a storm, but the sound of Ethan’s voice cuts through it all.“Who told you to leave?”He tells Lydia that he wants to give their relationship another chance.The words hang in the air, a shockwave that ripples through the room. I glance at Ethan’s parents, who stiffen at the unexpected declaration, but they remain silent,
My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 445
ARIA’S POVAs soon as Ethan gazes at Lydia, her face crumples, tears welling up in her eyes, most likely because she knows she is about to lose him. The weight of everything she has done, both in the past and more recently, seems to crash down on her. Her vulnerability is unmistakable, and it’s clear that she fears this might be the end of whatever she and Ethan had built together in this strange in-between space where his memory had been absent.Ethan’s expression hardens as he processes the reality of the situation. He’s upset, and it's easy to see why. For weeks, months even, his parents had believed him to be lost, possibly dead, while Lydia kept him hidden from the people who loved him most. His emotions are a swirl of confusion, betrayal, and anger as he turns to Lydia, waiting for an explanation. The air between them grows thick with unspoken accusations, the kind that don’t need words to make their impact.Lydia’s sobs grow more frantic as she tries to defend herself, her voic
My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 444
ARIA’S POV“I’m not here to take Ethan from you… We’re just best friends. Nothing more.”“What?”“It was just a charade at your engagement.”All of a sudden, the nurse informs us that Ethan has woken up. My heart races as I see the reaction from everyone around me. Without wasting a second, we all rush into his room. Ethan’s eyes are open, and the first thing he does is call out to his parents.There’s a moment of palpable relief as his mother and father rush to his side, elation lighting up their faces. They hold him close, their hands trembling with emotion, and for the first time in a long while, they seem to have a piece of peace back in their lives.But what stands out most is that Ethan doesn’t even look at Lydia. Not once. Her presence, once central to his confusion, seems to fade into the background. She stands near the door, frozen, her eyes glassy with unshed tears as she watches the reunion. I don’t know whether it’s fear, regret, or sadness that’s written on her face, but
My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 443
ARIA’S POV“I’m not letting you take Ethan from me.”Lydia sits next to me, vulnerable in a way I’ve never seen before. She begins speaking softly, revealing her regrets and the reasons behind her actions. She admits that her past choices were driven by greed and a hunger for wealth, and that those choices led her to hurt Ethan and her ex-fiancé. She speaks of how, after fleeing to Arizona to escape the wreckage of her old life, she found Ethan on the shore, lost and helpless. In that moment, she says, she saw not the man she had wronged but someone she could help. Someone who needed her.It’s difficult to fully believe her, but something about her story rings true. The way she talks about Ethan and her past mistakes feels raw and genuine, not the calculated coldness I once associated with her. She explains that when Ethan didn’t remember anything—not his name, not his family, not even his old life—he still remembered her.“We’re meant to be together. Else, he wouldn’t have landed her
My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 442
ARIA’S POVWe’re all seated in the waiting area of the hospital, the sterile smell and bright lights only adding to the tension. Ethan’s parents, sitting across from me, glance in my direction every so often, their frowns deepening as if my mere presence is an offense.It’s not the first time I’ve seen that look on their faces, and it probably won’t be the last. But what baffles me is how they’ve chosen to forget about Lydia entirely. She’s sitting in the corner of the room, arms folded, her face pale and tight with worry. I can’t tell if she’s genuinely concerned for Ethan or if this is all just another one of her well-rehearsed acts.I lean back in my chair, trying to process it all. At least the Mitchells had realized that their son had lost his memory before I even had the chance to explain. It was painfully obvious—his reaction when he saw them, the way his body gave out from the shock.He fainted because it was too much for him. Yet, here they are, acting like I’m the villain in
My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 441
ARIA’S POVLydia seems to sense that she’s outnumbered. She glares at us for a moment, then steps aside, opening the door fully. We enter the house, the air thick with tension. I glance around, spotting the packed boxes in the corner. They were planning to leave, just as I suspected.I spot Ethan standing in the living room. He’s casually scrolling through his phone, but the second he looks up and sees me, there’s a flicker of recognition in his eyes. I hold my breath, waiting for some kind of reaction. But then, his parents step in behind me, and that’s when everything changes.Ethan freezes. His phone slips out of his hand and clatters onto the floor, but his gaze is locked on his parents. I can practically see the gears turning in his mind, as if something deep inside him is suddenly being unlocked. His face goes pale, and his eyes widen in shock.And then, just as quickly as it all hits him, Ethan stumbles back, clutching his head. He takes a few shaky steps before collapsing to t
My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 440
ARIA’S POVI sit in my car, my eyes on the house as the night falls deeper. All the windows are dark, the curtains drawn, and not a single sign of movement inside. It’s almost midnight, and it doesn’t look like Lydia and Ethan are going anywhere tonight.Still, I can’t afford to take any risks. If I leave or let my guard down for even a second, who knows what they might do. Maybe they’ll sneak out in the early hours, slip away when no one is watching.But exhaustion is catching up to me. The rented car is spacious enough, well-equipped for a long night of waiting. I’ve pinned my location for the people I’ve summoned here—they’ll call when they’re close. I settle into the seat, finally allowing myself a moment to rest. There’s no harm in taking a quick nap while I wait.I drift off, my mind a swirl of thoughts and plans. Every scenario plays out in my head; confronting Lydia, pulling Ethan out of there, making sure he’s safe. It’s not peaceful sleep by any means, but it’s something.Ho
My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 439
ARIA’S POVMy stomach churns with hunger, but the idea of stepping away from my spot, even for a moment, feels out of the question. I’ve been sitting here, fixated on the house, watching every movement behind those walls. It’s like Lydia and Ethan are carrying on with their perfect little life, while I’m stuck out here, trying to figure out what to do next.I have moved too far now to catch their conversation clearly, and their voices aren’t as loud as they were before. On top of that, before they notice me, I have to make sure I keep my distance.The sight of them earlier, packing boxes, moving around like they’re planning to skip town, is enough to make my blood boil. I can’t let that happen.I need to eat, I need to think, but there’s no way I can leave the area, not even for a second. They could take off, and I’d have no idea where they would go. If I lose track of them, it could be the last time I ever see Ethan. The thought alone makes my heart race.Then, I spot a kid in the di
My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 438
ARIA’S POVI got the address and I head directly to the place to spy on Ethan and Lydia. My first step is to observe the surrounding and checking on their movements.“Aiden, love. Shall I keep this in the bag?”“Yes, baby.”She is addressing him as Aiden, and I roll my eyes in exasperation.As I watch from my hidden spot, I can barely contain the rage boiling inside me. Ethan, living a normal life with that deceitful witch, Lydia, like they’re some kind of perfect couple. How can he not see through her lies?My heart races, each second feeling like an eternity. She’s manipulating him, keeping him trapped in this farce, and it’s beyond infuriating. Ethan’s family has no idea he’s even alive, and meanwhile, he’s here, with her, under this disgusting illusion of love.But then something changes. I notice a flurry of activity at their house. Boxes. Bags. They’re packing up. My eyes narrow, and I feel a sudden rush of panic. This isn’t just spring cleaning or a casual weekend trip—they’re
