The Bennett mansion was chaotic. Phones rang incessantly, my assistants shuffled in and out with stacks of reports, and Adrian barked orders in the hallway as we tried to manage the fallout from Margot’s leak.
The Moretti deal had been the skeleton in the closet we had worked tirelessly to bury, but now it was out in the open, and the stench was overwhelming.
The headlines were merciless:
"Bennett Empire's Darkest Deal: $10

NORA'S POVGenevieve stormed into the sitting room, her heels clicking sharply against the polished floor. She was a force of nature, her fiery red hair cascading down her shoulders in loose waves, a contrast to the stiff, severe styles she’d adopted in recent months. There was a familiar spark in her green eyes now, a liveliness I hadn’t seen in so long it almost took my breath away.She looked like the old Gen.She paused in the doorway, her gaze locking onto mine. Her expression was intense, yes, but it wasn’t cold. For the first time in what felt like forever, there was warmth there, a genuine concern that made

SAM'S POV The soft hum of the wind and the faint glow of city lights surrounded us on the balcony that night. I held Zoe close, her tiny body resting against my chest, wrapped snugly in a pale pink blanket. She made little cooing sounds, her breaths rhythmic and steady, as though she felt the same peace I pretended to feel.“You’re okay,” I whispered, my voice thick with emotion. “You’re home now, little one.”The weight of her fragility pressed against me, a reminder of how close we’d come to losing her. The thought made my throat tighten, but I pushed it away. Tonight wasn’t for guil

NORA'S POV The room was silent, except for the soft rustle of Zoe’s blanket as I adjusted it over her. She lay peacefully in her crib, her tiny hands curled into delicate fists. Watching her sleep should have calmed me, but the storm inside me raged on.I sat by the window, twisting the engagement ring on my finger, a small, beautiful reminder of Sam’s promise, a promise that now felt like a distant dream. We weren’t even married anymore, not really. This ring, this life we were trying to rebuild, felt like it was balancing on the edge of a knife.Was this worth it?The schemes, the threats—Margot, Elias, Daniel—they all had one thing in common: their insistence that I never should have come back. The words echoed in my mind, taunting me, as if they knew the doubts that were eating me alive.I could disappear.The thought gripped me, startling in its clarity. Zoe and I could vanish, start over somewhere far away. A place where no one cared about the Bennett name or the Caradellis, or

SAM'S POV The room was eerily silent except for the faint hum of the desk lamp. I sat alone, the draft of my resignation speech spread out before me. The pen felt heavy in my hand as I stared at the words, each one a reminder of how much I was about to lose.This is for the family. This is what Dad would’ve wanted.I lifted the pen, preparing to sign my name at the bottom of the speech, when a shadow fell across the paper.“Uncle Sam?”Startled, I looked up to see Charles standing in the doorway.“Charles?” I said, my voice sharper than I intended. “What are you doing here? It’s late.”He hesitated, his hands stuffed into his pockets, and for a brief moment, I saw the boy he really was, vulnerable, unsure and just a kid. But I couldn’t shake the wariness that tightened my chest. Memories of our last encounter, the leaked footage, Jacob’s schemes… they were all too fresh.I carefully set the pen down, my eyes narrowing slightly. “Does your father know you’re here?”Charles shook his h

NORA'S POV The rain began as a soft drizzle, blurring the windshield as I navigated the winding roads back to the Bennett mansion. My hands tightened on the steering wheel, my thoughts in turmoil.Isabella’s words replayed in my head, cutting deeper each time. He’s stepping down, you know. Sam’s giving it all up.A part of me wanted to believe that this was the answer—that stepping down would end the chaos, the danger, the endless schemes. But deep down, I knew it wasn’t true. Being the head of the Bennett family was Sam’s birthright, the weight he was meant to carry. If he let it go now, what wou

NORA'S POVThe rain had eased into a soft drizzle, but the chill in the air seeped into my bones as I stood in front of Daniel. His eyes bore into mine, searching for something I wasn’t sure I could give him.“You can still get out,” he said, his voice steady but filled with urgency. “Come with me now, let's disappear. You don’t have to be a part of this anymore, Nora. You never should have been.”I shook my head, my hands trembling as I wrapped my arms around myself. “I can’t,” I whispered. “I can’t leave her. I can’t leave my daughter.”

SAM'S POV The rain poured relentlessly, its rhythmic pounding on the mansion’s tall windows blending with the muffled buzz of voices from the staff below. I sat in my father’s study, the dim light from the desk lamp casting long shadows across the room. The air was heavy, laden with memories of him. I could almost hear his voice, deep and firm, offering advice I desperately needed now.The city was ablaze with whispers of Evelyn Caradelli’s death. The news had spread like wildfire, dragging the Bennett name through the mud once again. I had managed to send Charlie back to his family earlier, though his parti

NORA'S POV The rain was still falling in sheets when I pulled into the driveway of the Bennett mansion. My hands trembled on the steering wheel, my pulse racing from my encounter with Jacob and Daniel. The weight of Jacob’s threats lingered like a shadow over me, his words echoing in my mind.“Evelyn is dead because of you. Sam deserves to feel the pain I feel.”The mansion loomed ahead, its grand facade now a reminder of the chaos within. I stepped out of the car, the rain soaking through my clothes in seconds, and hurried toward the front door. By the time I entered the warm foyer, I was dripping wet, shivering f

NORA'S POV The sound of Sam’s phone ringing pierced the stillness of the morning. It had been going off non-stop since the news of Jonathan’s defection broke. Investors were panicking, employees were calling in fear of layoffs, and partners were threatening to terminate contracts.I watched as Sam stormed into the study, his face twisted in frustration. His father’s once-pristine sanctuary became a chaotic battlefield of papers, overturned furniture, and broken glass as he moved around the room, frustrated and angry.“Damn him!” Sam roared, sweeping a stack of documents off the desk. They scattered like fallen leaves, a physical manifestation of his unraveling composure.I followed him, stepping into the room cautiously, my heart aching at the sight of him like this. “Sam,” I said gently, moving closer. “Please, let’s talk…”He spun around, his eyes wild. “This is your fault!” he yelled, his voice cracking. “If you hadn’t gone to Milo Romano, if you hadn’t fallen for that stupid More

SAM'S POV The morning sunlight filtered through the tall windows of the Bennett mansion’s study, casting a warm glow over the room. But the warmth did little to alleviate the chill that seemed to settle in my chest. Papers were scattered across my desk—financial reports, lawsuit documents, and notes on the proposed merger. It was all too much, a constant reminder of how fragile everything had become.My mother entered, her heels clicking softly against the hardwood floor. She carried herself with her usual grace, but her expression was uncharacteristically tender. “You’re up early,” she said, setting a cup of tea on the desk in front of me.“Couldn’t sleep,” I muttered, leaning back in my chair. “Too much to think about.”She nodded, taking a seat across from me. For a moment, neither of us spoke. The silence was heavy, laden with things unsaid. Finally, Jacqueline broke it. “Sam, I need to apologize.”I looked up, startled. Jacqueline Bennett was many things, but apologetic wasn’t o

NORA'S POV The mansion was quiet as I tucked Zoe into her crib, her soft breathing the only sound in the dimly lit nursery. For a moment, I allowed myself the luxury of watching her sleep, her tiny hands curled into fists, her cheeks flushed with warmth. I closed the door softly and headed toward the library in search of Sam. The weight of everything pressed heavy on my shoulders. As I turned the corner, I nearly collided with Michael and Richard, both striding purposefully down the hallway.“Nora,” Michael said, his voice low. “You’ll want to come

SAM'S POV The morning sunlight sliced through the blinds of my office, illuminating the tension that hung thick in the room. My legal team sat across from me, their faces etched with grim determination. The betrayal felt suffocating, wrapping around my chest like a vice.“So let me get this straight,” I said, my voice icy as I leaned back in my chair, gripping the armrests to steady my simmering rage. “Jacob and Jonathan are claiming I mismanaged funds?”“Yes,” replied Linda, our lead attorney, her tone cautious but firm. “They’re focusing on two key examples: the

NORA'S POV “That’s why they call it a war, Lisa. And in war, only the strong survive.”Lisa stumbled back, her composure slipping further with each step. The room remained silent, every pair of eyes locked on the two women at the center of the storm.Finally, with one last venomous look, Lisa spat, “This isn’t over, Jacqueline. I promise you that.”She turned and stormed out, her heels echoing down the hallway.Back at the mansion, the atmosphere was subdued, the usually warm sitting room weighed down by the tension that seemed to seep into the walls. The crackle of the fire did little to dispel the chill hanging over the room. The family had gathered here after the funeral, their faces drawn and weary, but the undercurrent of frustration was impossible to ignore.Michael, the head of technology division, leaned against the mantel, his glass of whiskey half-empty. He swirled the liquid absently, his eyes narrowed in thought. “So, Alaric Laurent,” he said, his tone dripping with skept

NORA'S POV The sky was overcast, a dull gray that seemed fitting for the day we were laying William Bennett to rest. Rain threatened but held off, leaving a heavy, humid stillness in its place. The Bennett estate was unusually quiet, the air filled with an uneasy tension as family members shuffled in for the private ceremony.Even in death, William’s presence loomed large. His photograph, framed in black, sat at the head of the small gathering, his sharp eyes and strong jawline a reminder of the patriarch he’d been. The man who had expanded an empire that now seemed to be crumbling around us.

SAM'S POV The mansion felt colder than usual, a weight pressing down on me as Nora and I walked through the front doors. The cryptic words from Alaric Laurent haunted me, each syllable twisting in my mind like a knife.“A Bennett working with Jacob,” I muttered under my breath, my fists clenching at the thought.Nora touched my arm gently. “We’ll figure this out, Sam. We always do.”Her voice was calm, soothing, but even she couldn’t hide the unease in her eyes. I nodded but said nothing, a

NORA'S POV “We need an ally,” I told Sam for the umpteenth time, pacing the length of the study. “Someone strong enough to challenge the Morettis but far removed from Jacob’s influence.”Lately, he'd been more concerned with worshipping my body than he was with the threat that loomed over us but I knew that we could win the Morettis, Jacob and the Caradellis.
No Longer Yours, Billionaire Ex-Husband Chapter 166
SAM’S POV The meeting ended with Jacob's threat still ringing in my ears.“You'll regret this, Samuel,” Jacob spat, his voice dripping with venom. “We’ll meet in court. And when I'm done, there won't be a Bennett empire to save. I’ll take every last dollar, every share, every legacy. You'll be left with nothing.”He stormed out, Charlie trailing behind him, his head down, avoiding my gaze. For a moment, I felt a pang of sadness for the boy. He didn't deserve to be a pawn in Jacob's bitter game.
