The Club Star Ex-Wife He Wants Back Chapter 131 : Lies in the Shadows
Lucas’s POVThe video continued to play, the grainy footage pulling me back into a past I thought I had buried. The young faces staring back at me were mine and Sophia’s, but they were from a time when things were simpler—or so I had convinced myself. I watched as I laughed with her, the smile on my face completely different than the one I wore now. It was a carefree moment, one that seemed so far removed from the man I had become, but it was still mine. Still part of the story I had left behind.Mandy’s breath hitched beside me, a sharp intake of air that made my heart clench. I could feel her confusion, her pain. The flicker of doubt in her eyes sent a wave of guilt crashing over me. "Lucas… what is this?" Her voice was strained, barely above a whisper, but the question hung between us like a heavy cloud. I clenched my fists at my sides, trying to hold it together, trying to keep the storm from breaking loose. "This was before," I forced out, my voice low, almost as if I was tr

Mandy’s POVThe world around me felt like it was slipping away. My body trembled, not from the cold, but from the weight of the words in the air. Each one felt like a stone being dropped into the abyss, echoing through me, making everything I thought I knew shake. I had always believed in Lucas, in the man who stood beside me, and yet now, his past was unfurling before my eyes, and I wasn’t sure if I even knew him at all.Sophia leaned in closer, her breath hot against my ear, and I froze. There was a dangerous calmness in her voice as she whispered the words that made my heart stop."He let me die, Mandy. He chose himself over me."Her words rang in my ears, and for a moment, everything inside me froze. He chose himself over her? The very idea cut through me like a knife. I could barely breathe, let alone process the enormity of what she was implying. Lucas was beside me, his fists clenched at his sides, his jaw tight with barely contained fury. His voice cracked through the silen

Lucas’s POVI could see Mandy hesitating, her finger hovering over the play button, but her eyes were locked on the screen, as if she were trying to prepare herself for what was coming. I could see the turmoil in her face, the confusion, the disbelief, and it made my stomach churn. What was about to unfold was something I had buried so deep, so far away from her, that I had hoped we would never have to confront it. But Sophia... she had found a way to drag it all back into the light.My heart pounded in my chest as the screen flickered to life. The darkness of the alley filled the frame, shadows stretching long and ominous. I could see myself, younger, desperate, pacing with a sense of urgency that was palpable even through the grainy footage. My voice echoed through the alley as I shouted Sophia’s name. "Sophia!" I could hear myself calling out, panic in my tone. "Sophia!"The air around me felt like it was thick with dread, and I could almost feel the weight of the night again.

Mandy’s POVI stood there, frozen, the weight of everything pressing down on me. The room felt suffocating as my chest was tight, my pulse racing as I tried to make sense of the video, of what I had just seen. My hands shook, my mind in a whirlwind of disbelief, hurt, and anger. "I trusted you!" I finally shouted, my voice breaking, raw with emotion. The words left my lips before I could stop them, and the pain behind them was suffocating. I had let my guard down. I had believed in Lucas, in us. But now, everything was shattered. The man I thought I knew, the man I had given my heart to, had lied to me—about something so crucial, so fundamental. I couldn’t even look at him. My eyes blurred with unshed tears, but I refused to let them fall. Not now. Not when I was this angry, this betrayed. Lucas’s expression faltered, his usual calm demeanor giving way to something more vulnerable—more desperate. "I didn’t leave her. I thought she was dead, Mandy. I thought I lost her that night

Lucas’s POVThe moment the police stormed in, their weapons raised, I knew Sophia had been waiting for this. The blue and red flashes of sirens painted the dim warehouse in a kaleidoscope of chaos. The tension in the air thickened like a noose tightening around my throat. "Lucas Vanderbilt, you’re under arrest."The lead officer’s voice rang with authority, cutting through the heavy silence that followed. Beside me, Mandy tensed, her fingers twitching at her sides. I could hear her sharp intake of breath, but my focus stayed on the officers, on Sophia, and on the pieces of this twisted game she was playing. "For what?" I asked, keeping my voice controlled, even though my pulse pounded in my ears. Sophia let out a delighted hum, stepping forward as if she were the one running the show. "Oh, Lucas. You didn’t think I came empty-handed, did you?"My stomach tightened. Of course, she hadn’t. Sophia had never been the type to strike without a plan. She had been pulling the strings

Mandy’s POV I stood frozen at the top of the stairs, heart racing as I watched Mary, my husband’s older brother’s pregnant fiancée, tumble down the steps, her screams echoing in my ears. It all happened in a blur—one moment, we were both heading downstairs to join the family party, and the next, Mary was rolling down the stairs, her body twisting with each horrifying bounce. I froze. My legs refused to move. A sickening thought clawed at me—what if they think I pushed her? Guests from the party had already started crowding around, drawn to the chaos, their eyes wide with shock. My stomach churned with panic. I couldn’t breathe. “Someone, call an ambulance!” one of the guests shouted, and it felt like the whole world was closing in around me. This was supposed to be a day of celebration. The house was filled with some of the wealthiest, most influential people in the city—celebrities, business tycoons, all gathered to mark the grand occasion. But now? The scene before me had tu

Mandy’s POV “I want a divorce, Grandma. I can’t stand this any longer,” Lucas’s voice echoed through the hallway, each word a dagger to my heart. From my hiding spot, my breath hitched. This had to be a nightmare. “You don’t mean that, Lucas. You’re just upset about what happened,” Grandma Claire’s voice carried a soothing yet firm tone. “No, Grandma,” Lucas shot back, his voice colder than I’d ever heard. “I know exactly what I’m saying. I don’t want to be married to her anymore.” A sharp pain lanced through my chest. My nails dug into my palm as I struggled to steady my breathing. This can’t be real. “Lucas, if this is a joke, stop it now,” Grandma Claire warned. “I’m not joking, Grandma. I’m done with this whole marriage,” he spat. “We wouldn’t even be in this situation if you hadn’t bribed me with your power and company shares.” Bribed? A bitter taste filled my mouth as his words sank in. So that’s what he thought of me? A forced burden tied to his neck with wealth and po

Go ahead,” the doctor said.“Is the diagnosis correct? “Are there chances that I could have been misdiagnosed?” “Well, misdiagnosis occurs most of the time in this line of work,” the doctor answe

Mandy’s POVMy heart pounded in my chest, each beat sending a sharp pulse of panic through my body. As the cold barrel of the gun pressed against my temple, and I could barely breathe, every inhale was shallow and desperate. My hands shook uncontrollably as I tried to hold Emily closer, to protect her, but I couldn’t even protect myself. Lucas was beside me, his gaze locked on the masked figure holding the weapon. His muscles were tense, his body coiled with fury, but he was frozen, caught in a web of fear and helplessness. I could see the struggle in his eyes, the desire to protect me warring with the overwhelming power that Sophia held over us.Then, before I could even process what was happening, Lucas moved—instinctively, without thinking. He threw himself in front of me, shielding me from the masked figure, his body blocking mine as he faced Sophia’s men with steely determination.But Sophia, standing just a few steps behind, merely watched, a smirk playing at the corners of h
The Club Star Ex-Wife He Wants Back Chapter 129 : Someone from before
Lucas’s POVI couldn’t move. My body was frozen, a prisoner to the woman standing before me. The one I had mourned. The one I had buried in the deepest part of my heart. Sophia. She was alive. The world around me had blurred, her presence the only thing clear. I couldn’t comprehend it, couldn’t make sense of it. This—this was impossible. Mandy’s grip tightened on my arm, her voice a faint whisper, barely reaching my ears. “Lucas… what’s going on? Who is she?” But I couldn’t answer her. The words lodged in my throat, a heavy stone I couldn’t move. All I could do was stare at the woman I had thought was long gone, my pulse pounding in my ears. Sophia stepped forward, her heels clicking on the floor with a rhythm that felt too calculated. Her lips curved into a smile, one that I could only describe as both wicked and seductive. “Miss me, Lucas?” Her voice was a blade, cutting through the thick tension that hung in the air. I wanted to scream, wanted to lash out, but I couldn’t. My
The Club Star Ex-Wife He Wants Back Chapter 128 : The Truth in the Dark
Lucas’s POV The moment Gage disappeared into the shadows, the weight in my chest grew unbearable. My long lost friend. The one I thought was dead, the one I had buried in my past, forced myself to forget. And yet, here he was, standing with Damian, warning me that something worse was coming. Mandy’s grip on my arm tightened. "Lucas, what the hell just happened?" I turned to her, but before I could answer, Damian let out a weak chuckle from the ground. "Oh, Lucas. You always thought you had control, didn’t you?" Ethan pressed his boot harder against Damian’s back. "You’d better start talking before I make sure you don’t leave this warehouse alive." Damian groaned but smirked through his pain. "Killing me won’t stop it. It’s already set in motion." A sinking feeling churned in my gut. "What are you talking about?" He licked his bloody lips, his eyes burning with amusement. "Your past, Lucas. You spent years running from it. But you never really buried it, did you?" I clen
The Club Star Ex-Wife He Wants Back Chapter 127 : The Unknown Threat
Lucas’s POV Damian’s laughter echoed through the warehouse, a haunting sound that seemed to rattle my every bone. I didn’t want to hear it. I didn’t want to listen to his sick, twisted amusement while Mandy held Emily close, both of them trembling with fear. But his words—the warning—echoed in my mind.I took a steadying breath, the weight of the situation sinking deeper. The last thing I needed right now was another layer of complication, especially when it came to people I loved. Ethan’s grip on Damian tightened as he pressed his boot harder into his back. "What do you mean by that?" Damian chuckled through the pain, blood dripping from his shoulder where I had shot him. "You think you’ve won? You think it’s over? You have no idea who you’re really up against." My hand tightened around the gun in my grip. "If you think you’re getting away from this alive, you’re mistaken." But even as the words left my mouth, doubt crept into my mind because Damian had been one thing—dang
