RISE OF THE EX WIFE : Mona's Revenge Chapter 40
Chapter 40Blood-red rose petals created a fragrant path through the penthouse, starting at the private elevator and winding through rooms filled with priceless art and furniture. Mona followed the trail, her fingers brushing against marble countertops and silk wall coverings, wondering what occasion warranted this display. The path led to their terrace, where the evening air carried the scent of jasmine and distant rain.Candlelight flickered against crystal and silver, casting dancing shadows across a private feast laid out under a blanket of stars. The city stretched below them, a kingdom of lights and possibilities. Alexander stood waiting by the balustrade, Manhattan's glittering skyline behind him like a custom backdrop. He was still in his business suit, but his tie was loosened, and his expression held an uncharacteristic softness that made him look younger, almost vulnerable."What's all this?" she asked, taking in the romantic setting, white orchids floating in crystal bowls

Chapter 41The Bennett estate's grand ballroom glittered under crystal chandeliers, the light dancing off jewels and champagne flutes as the city's elite gathered to celebrate young James Bennett's formal introduction as heir. Mona stood at the entrance, her hand resting lightly on Alexander's arm, taking in the scene with quiet satisfaction."Ready?" Alexander whispered, his breath warm against her ear.Mona nodded, her emerald gown catching the light as they stepped forward. Heads turned, conversations paused, and a wave of whispers followed them across the marble floor. Not the whispers of mockery she had once endured at Caldwell gatherings, but whispers of admiration, curiosity, respect.Madam Leah Bennett, regal in sapphire blue, broke away from her circle of admirers and approached them with outstretched hands."Mrs. Kane," she said warmly, taking Mona's hands in hers. "You honor us with your presence.""The honor is mine, Madam Bennett," Mona replied, the practiced words flowin

Chapter 42The wall-sized screen in Alexander's private study lit up with the Caldwell family crest, casting a blue glow across Mona's face. She stood before it, arms crossed, studying every detail as if memorizing an enemy's weaknesses. The mansion was quiet tonight, most staff dismissed early to give them privacy for what Alexander called their "war council.""Are you ready?" Alexander asked, coming to stand beside her. His voice was soft but carried the sharpness of a blade beneath.Mona nodded, her eyes never leaving the screen. "I've been ready since the day they threw me out in the rain."Alexander tapped his tablet, and the Caldwell crest dissolved into an intricate web of connections, lines radiating outward from the center like a spider's web, each strand representing businesses, partnerships, investments, and social ties."The Caldwell empire," Alexander explained, "built over four generations through marriage, manipulation, and occasional theft." He glanced at Mona. "Much l

Chapter 43Morning light spilled through the tall windows of Mona's private office in the Kane penthouse. Outside, the city hummed with activity, but inside, silence reigned except for the soft tap of her fingers on the keyboard. She had been working since dawn, her coffee growing cold beside her as she dug deeper into Davidson Shipping's financial records.A knock at the door barely registered in her focus."You missed breakfast," Alexander said, entering with a fresh cup of coffee and a plate of fruit.Mona looked up, blinking as if waking from a dream. Her eyes burned from staring at numbers for hours. "I found something," she said, taking the coffee gratefully.Alexander set the plate down and moved behind her, his hands resting lightly on her shoulders as he studied her screen. "Show me.""Davidson Shipping reported profits to their shareholders for the last eight quarters," she said, pointing to a colorful chart. "But I cross-referenced their shipping manifests with internationa

Chapter 44Five days had passed since Mona sent the evidence to the regulators. Five days of checking news sites, of Alexander making quiet phone calls, of waiting for the first spark to catch fire. On the morning of the sixth day, Mona woke to the sound of her phone buzzing repeatedly on the nightstand.She reached for it, eyes still heavy with sleep. Twenty-three notifications. Her heart jumped."Alexander," she said, turning to wake him, but his side of the bed was empty.She slipped on her silk robe and padded barefoot through the penthouse. The sound of voices.... several voices speaking over each other guided her to the media room. Alexander stood in the center, remote in hand, surrounded by news on every screen."It's happening," he said without turning around.Mona froze in the doorway. The largest screen showed Davidson Shipping headquarters, where reporters crowded outside the main entrance. The scrolling headline read: "BREAKING: Davidson Shipping Under Federal Investigatio

Chapter 45The morning sun bathed the Caldwell mansion in golden light, but inside the grand dining room, storm clouds gathered. Samuel Caldwell's phone rang for the fifth time in thirty minutes. He glanced at the screen, grimaced, and silenced it again."Will you answer that infernal thing?" Emily snapped, tapping her perfectly manicured nails against her teacup. "The noise is ruining my breakfast."Samuel loosened his tie. Sweat beaded on his forehead despite the room's perfect temperature. "It's Jim Harrington. Our biggest investor."Emily's fork clattered against fine china. "And why would he call at this ungodly hour?"Before Samuel could answer, Sarah burst into the room, still in her silk pajamas, clutching her tablet. Her face was pale, eyes wide with panic."Have you seen the news?" She thrust the tablet toward her parents. "Davidson Shipping is under federal investigation!"The blood drained from Samuel's face as he grabbed the device. The headline screamed across the screen

Chapter 1Mona stood in the corner of the grand ballroom, her presence barely acknowledged by the people around her. It was Emily Caldwell’s birthday party, a celebration that should have felt full of warmth, but instead felt like a performance one in which Mona was the unwanted actress. Samuel’s family, his friends, all of them pretended she wasn’t there, or worse, treated her like an inconvenience.The soft murmur of conversation filled the room, interrupted by the occasional laugh or clink of glasses. The night should have been filled with laughter, but every laugh, every comment that wasn’t directed at her, felt like a painful reminder of her place. The Caldwells didn’t even try to hide their disdain anymore. Mona wasn’t just the “lesser” daughter-in-law, she was the joke. A burden to their perfect, polished family.She shifted uncomfortably, adjusting the glass of champagne in her hand. The cold liquid felt insignificant, yet she needed something to hold onto something to ground

Chapter 2Mona straightened her spine, lifting her chin. “Don’t worry about me,” she said, her voice steady despite the tremor in her hands. “I’m not the one who has to prove my worth to this family.”The room fell silent, the laughter dying in their throats.Lora’s smile faltered, her eyes narrowing. “Oh, Mona,” she said, her tone mocking. “You’re so dramatic. No one cares about your opinion anymore.”Mona met her gaze, unflinching. “You’ll find that my opinion matters more than you think.”For a moment, there was a flicker of doubt in Lora’s eyes. It was small, almost imperceptible, but it was there.Emily stepped forward, her face hardening. “Stop pretending, Mona,” she said, her voice sharp. “You’re nothing. Just a simple woman clinging to a life that doesn’t belong to you.”Mona didn’t respond. She turned away, no longer willing to engage..“Attention, everyone!” Emily’s voice rang out, silencing the chatter. She stood near the grand staircase, her regal presence commanding the r

Chapter 39The morning sun colored New York's tall buildings gold as Mona sat by the window. She sipped hot coffee from a white cup, her eyes moving between three big TV screens. Each screen showed her latest win in different ways:"BENNETT EMPIRE SHIFTS: Lora Caldwell Cut Off Completely""MADAM LEAH NAMES TEENAGE GRANDSON AS SOLE HEIR""SOCIETY SHOCK: Bennett-Kane Alliance Reshapes Power Structure"Mona's lips curved into a slow smile. On the middle screen, cameras showed Lora screaming and fighting as two men in dark suits pulled her away from the Bennett family home. The same home Lora once thought she would own someday."Get your hands off me!" Lora's voice was high and broken on the TV. "I'm a Bennett! This is MY home! Grandmother! GRANDMOTHER!"But Madam Leah Bennett didn't come out. The grand doors stayed closed as Lora was forced into a car and driven away.Mona took another sip of coffee, letting the warm feeling of success wash over her.*Two Days Earlier*The room felt heav

Chapter 38The Caldwell mansion's morning room erupted in chaos as financial news blared from multiple screens. Lora stood barefoot on the Persian rug, her silk robe askew, last night's makeup smeared beneath eyes swollen from interrupted sleep. Her fingers clutched the remote so tightly her knuckles turned white as she jabbed at the volume button, forcing everyone to hear the news that had shattered her world."BENNETT EMPIRE SHIFTS: Heir Change Shocks Society""19-YEAR-OLD JAMES BENNETT NAMED SOLE SUCCESSOR""KANE INDUSTRIES SIGNS HISTORIC DEAL WITH BENNETT CORPORATION""Ten billion!" The words exploded from Lora's throat like shrapnel. She hurled her teacup with such violence that it left a dent in the wall before shattering, tea splashing across priceless artwork like blood. "Ten BILLION dollars! That witch orchestrated everything! She bought my grandmother's loyalty with a business deal!"Her chest heaved with each ragged breath, nostrils flaring, veins standing out on her neck.
RISE OF THE EX WIFE : Mona's Revenge Chapter 37
Chapter 37The Caldwell mansion sparkled with desperate opulence, chandeliers polished to a frantic shine as they celebrated their financial resurrection. Crystal glasses clinked with forced cheer, champagne flowed a touch too freely, and Emily held court in the grand salon like a queen restored to her throne after a brief but terrifying exile. Her designer dress, hastily retrieved from the consignment shop where it had been sent just days earlier, caught the light as she moved among the guests, her smile brittle but triumphant.The remaining society members who hadn't abandoned them completely gathered in smaller numbers than before, drawn by morbid curiosity as much as loyalty. They whispered behind manicured hands, eyes darting to notice the cheaper champagne, the fewer servers, the subtle signs of recent distress hastily covered with fresh flowers and forced laughter."To our savior," Emily raised her glass toward Lora, her voice carrying with practiced authority. "The woman who p
