SUZANNE’S POVIn the midst of what seemed like a routine business gathering, Aria's calculated maneuvering took me by surprise. Her cunning plan unfolded seamlessly, orchestrating a sequence of events that would ultimately lead to my downfall.After we were done at the restaurant, I had no idea what was going with me. Initially, Sam and I had bribed the hotel managers to make sure that when he would see Aria drugged, then he would make sure she reached the hotel room where Sam would have sex with her.However, I did not know why this stupid manager took me instead. Did he get paid a hefty amount to get me trapped instead of Aria? I wondered who paid him to change our plan.What transpired in the dimly lit hotel room was a blur of regret. I had had sex before with that pervert Sam, but that was the worst experience I had ever had. I wanted Aria to experience the same, especially when the oldie was drunk. That was why I had spiked his drink as well.Unfortunately, the plan backfired. Th

ARIA’S POVAfter Suzanne coming to my office and ranting about supposedly the profitable business that Uncle Sam’s company has to offer, I start doubting these two. I see them as just lousy people bent on destroying my brother’s company.I feel that there is more to it. It cannot be that the Whistle Company is giving us good business, but we have still not made any profit. I have checked the ledgers and I find it really fishy. Thankfully I did not disclose to anyone that I am Neal’s sister and I let them trash talk, knowing that sooner or later, I shall catch them.All of a sudden, my desk phone rings. Finally, I get to speak to the old CEO, Mr. Levis who asks me to come and meet him in his office. Hence, I agree and head there.But to my astonishment, the guy is rude right from the start. His tone is curt, almost dismissive, as if he has been inconvenienced by my very existence.He does not even bother with pleasantries, launching straight into a tirade about protocol and my apparen

ARIA’S POVBefore I can finish my shift, my phone rings, and I see it is Regis calling. I am filled with anticipation, convinced that he is calling to congratulate me about my new post. With excitement, I answer the call, and the positive energy radiates through the mobile connection.Regis asks me how I am doing and how is work going. I don’t tell him anything on the phone and also, it will not look nice to do so. Hence, I tell him that everything is smooth.“May I have the pleasure of inviting you for dinner tonight?”Since departing from Regis' place, our talks and moments of togetherness have dwindled. There is a yearning within me for those meaningful and warm exchanges we once had. So, when he extends an invitation, my heart leaps with joy."Absolutely."A genuine smile playing on my lips. His mention of the restaurant and our planned meeting after work fills me with anticipation and a sense of connection. He is my mentor with profound knowledge and I love his company.As I step

ARIA’S POVThe previous project overseen by Suzanne turned out to be a major disappointment, leaving me disheartened. Securing a contract with Wellington Enterprises has long been a goal of mine, and when the opportunity finally arose, I was elated. However, to my dismay, the members of our company vehemently opposed the idea.It feels as though there is a concerted effort against me, and I can't shake the suspicion that Levi and Suzanne are behind it. Their influence seems to have swayed opinions within the team, creating an atmosphere of resistance and distrust. It is a frustrating realization that the fallout from past failures may be casting a shadow over my current endeavors.As the meeting progresses, I can't help but feel the weight of everyone's gaze fixated on me. The room feels suffocating, and with each glance exchanged, I sense an undercurrent of contempt and disdain. It is as if their expressions are a mirror reflecting back nothing but disapproval and disgust.Despite my

Aria has no idea that I've been stalking her, meticulously gathering every piece of information about her new role as the general manager at Jackson Paragon—the very guy I despise!Aria thinks that I gave her a divorce and walked away? Not a chance! I'm determined to fight until the end to win her back. I love her deeply, and although it might seem too late, it's never truly too late for a second chance.While I'm proud of her success, I can't shake the guilt of holding her back. I've always underestimated her, keeping her under my control, and she never deserved that kind of treatment. She deserved freedom and respect, and now I realize how much I've wronged her.Now is the time to fix everything between Aria and me, to mend all that went wrong in our life.

ARIA’S POVAs I step into the sleek and modern lobby of Wellington Enterprises, the atmosphere exudes an air of professionalism and sophistication. The walls adorned with abstract art and the polished marble floors reflect the company's commitment to excellence.Busy employees move purposefully about, their attire crisp and professional, adding to the ambiance of a well-established corporate environment.As I make my way to the meeting room, passing through rows of cubicles and glass-walled offices, I can't help but be impressed by the efficiency and orderliness of the workspace. It is evident that Wellington Enterprises prided itself on maintaining a high standard of organization and productivity.Upon meeting the CEO, his youthful yet confident demeanor immediately command attention. His office, adorned with tasteful furnishings and adorned with accolades and awards, speak volumes about the company's success and prestige.“Welcome to Wellington, Miss Cook.”With each handshake and w

ADAM’S POVEver since Aria stepped inside the office, my heart has not stopped fluttering. I have been anticipating for what feels like eternity.When my assistant informed me that we secured the project and would be collaborating with Jackson Company, I was overjoyed.I assumed Aria would have been aware, but her surprise upon seeing me in Clark's office revealed otherwise. Her questioning of Clark about my presence made it clear—she had believed Jackson Paragon would be the sole participant in this project.Since the moment our eyes met and our hands briefly connected in a handshake, I've found it impossible to look away from her. She's stunning, and all I can think about is how much I wish I could have her back in my life.One thing that truly lifts my spirits today is the fact that Aria came here alone. The mere thought of her potentially being accompanied by her new partner fills me with a mix of apprehension and discomfort.Clark elaborates on the significance of securing the co

LEVI’S POVToday, I learned that Aria has gone to Wellington Enterprises for a contract. The office has been eerily silent ever since I threatened to fire any staff member unwilling to work on this project. Both Suzanne and I have noticed a significant drop in the support and respect we used to command in the office.Aria's arrival has drastically altered the atmosphere. Neal's mistress is relentlessly pushing her way into Jackson Paragon, and it feels like we're all on the brink of losing our jobs. The tension is palpable, and the uncertainty about the future has everyone on edge.Initially, when Aria mentioned Wellington, I assumed she was bluffing. Confident in my belief, I instigated the team to opt out of joining her project. I wanted to wait for Neal's return, hoping he would take charge and exclude her from the project.However, I was taken aback when Neal entrusted her with the authority to manage office tasks in his absence. It was always me who took charge whenever Neal was

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

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

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
