Chapter 1: The Return of the Past

"Victoria, I need to talk to you. It's important."The words echoed in my mind even after the phone call ended, leaving an unsettling chill in the pit of my stomach. I stared at my phone screen, the name "Elias Westbrook" flashing back at me in bold letters. It had been years since I last heard from him since everything crumbled. Since the day I was accused of embezzling millions from his company, my life as I knew it came to a brutal halt.I turned the phone over, trying to ignore the inevitable pull in my chest. The pain of betrayal still lingered in the corners of my heart. He had shattered everything—my trust, my world, my future."Why now?" I muttered under my breath, gripping the edge of my desk as I pushed the phone further away from me. A sharp knock on the door broke my thoughts, and I quickly rose to open it.It was Greg, my assistant. He was holding a crisp, white envelope. "This just arrived for you," he said, his voice neutral, but his eyes lingered on me a little too lon...

Chapter 2: The Cold Billionaire
The Ex-Wife's Secret/Stephen George
“You’re still thinking about her, aren’t you?” Selene’s voice breaks the silence, sharp and icy, as she steps into the room. Her presence is enough to make the air feel heavier, charged with tension. I don’t turn to face her. Instead, I stare at the phone in my hand, hovering over the dial button. The weight of the decision presses down on me—so much has happened since I last spoke to her. Too much. I can almost feel the ghost of Victoria standing in the doorway, just out of reach. Her face, her voice, those moments we once shared. The ones I destroyed with my own hands.I grit my teeth and finally place the phone back on the desk. “Don’t do this, Elias,” Selene continues, her tone barely concealing the threat lurking beneath her words. “You really want to open that door again? Do you think she’ll forgive you for what happened? You’ll be dragging this family into the mud if you try.”I run a hand through my hair and exhale slowly. How long has it been? Years? Since I last heard her

Chapter 3: The Confrontation
The Ex-Wife's Secret/Stephen George
"Victoria," Elias's voice cracks as he speaks my name. "I—I don’t know how to begin this."I don’t know how to respond, either. Standing here, in the middle of a room so familiar, yet so distant, the weight of years spent apart hangs between us. His eyes are filled with regret, and yet, there’s something more—a determination that I've never seen before. It should be comforting, but it's not. It just stirs the anger I’ve kept buried for so long."You want to explain yourself now?" I ask, the bitterness in my voice unmistakable. "After everything, you think a letter, a phone call, and a few words can fix this?"He flinches. "I never meant for it to end this way. I thought—I believed you betrayed me. And that’s something I have to live with.""And how exactly did you live with it?" I snap. "Did you sleep at night? Was it easy for you to throw me out like I was nothing, accuse me of stealing from you, and then just—move on?"Elias’s face hardens, and I see the sharp edge of his jawline as

Chapter 4: The Hidden Betrayal
The Ex-Wife's Secret/Stephen George
“Selene, I need a moment with you,” I said, stepping into her corner office. She didn’t flinch. Selene always had an air of unshakable confidence, her tailored blazer and perfectly coiffed hair adding to her polished facade. “To what do I owe this unexpected visit?” she asked, folding her arms and leaning against the desk. “I’ve been reviewing the financial records from three years ago,” I said, closing the door behind me. “There are discrepancies. Large sums moved to an offshore account that doesn’t match any authorized transactions.” Her smile faltered, just for a moment. “And you’re coming to me because…?” “Because these accounts were linked to a project you personally oversaw,” I said, locking my gaze on her. “I want answers, Selene.” She laughed lightly, a forced sound that grated on my nerves. “Elias, I run dozens of projects. You’ll have to be more specific.” “Don’t play coy with me,” I snapped. “The Westbrook tech deal in Paris. The one Victoria was overseeing be

Chapter 5: The Shocking Revelation
The Ex-Wife's Secret/Stephen George
"How could I have been so blind?" I muttered to myself, sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at the letter from Elias that had thrown my world into disarray once again.My thoughts were a jumbled mess, like pieces of a puzzle that I couldn’t quite piece together. The revelation of my pregnancy had already turned my life upside down, but now, it was more than that. Now, I had to grapple with the fact that I might have been wrong about everything—about Elias, about the betrayal, about everything.I hadn’t expected to feel anything when the letter arrived. After all, what could he say now? How could he make up for all the years of lies, the pain, the humiliation? But there was something in his words that had unsettled me. She was framed. That was all he’d said about me. Yet, in those two words, I could feel the weight of something larger, something I hadn’t been able to see before.What if Elias was telling the truth? What if he’d been deceived too?The thought was terrifying. It mean

Chapter 6: An Unlikely Alliance
The Ex-Wife's Secret/Stephen George
“You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” I said, eyeing Elias as he entered the room. His jaw was tense, his eyes darker than I remembered, but there was a flicker of unease beneath his usually impenetrable expression. “I might as well have,” he muttered, running a hand through his thick hair. "We need to talk, Victoria." The last time he had said those words, my life had crumbled into ruins. Still, curiosity—and a gnawing desire for answers—compelled me to stay rooted in place. “Go on then,” I said, folding my arms. “Talk.” He hesitated, his gaze flickering to my stomach. A surge of protectiveness washed over me, and I instinctively placed a hand over the slight curve that marked the life growing inside me. “Selene,” he began, his voice low, “she’s been lying to both of us.” I blinked, the name slicing through the air like a blade. “Your sister?” I asked, incredulous. “What does she have to do with this?” Elias exhaled sharply. “Everything. She orchestrated the embezzleme

Chapter 7: Selene’s Web of Lies
The Ex-Wife's Secret/Stephen George
"How is she doing this?" Elias muttered under his breath, his fingers flying over the keyboard, eyes fixed on the screen. I stood over his shoulder, the weight of the situation pressing down on me. The evidence I’d hoped for was slipping through our fingers. "I don’t know," I answered quietly, watching the screen as Elias sifted through files, trying to find something that could confirm everything Selene had done. "But she’s been covering her tracks well. Someone’s deleting everything. All the digital traces of the money transfers—gone."Elias clenched his jaw. "She's pulling the strings. I don't know how she’s managing it, but I know it's her. No one else could be this smart." His voice was hard, a bitter edge of anger I hadn't heard in years. The Elias I had once loved—my strong, dependable partner—was starting to emerge again, but with that, came all the frustration, the hurt, the memories of betrayal. I swallowed, trying to keep my emotions in check. "We’re running out of time.

Chapter 8: Trapped in the Past
The Ex-Wife's Secret/Stephen George
“Run!” Elias hissed, grabbing my hand as the blaring alarm echoed through the dark Westbrook headquarters.I sprinted beside him, my heart racing faster than my feet. The faint red glow of emergency lights flickered along the hallways, casting eerie shadows on the walls. Behind us, the heavy thud of security boots drew closer.“Do you even know where you’re going?” I gasped, struggling to keep up.“Trust me,” he muttered.We darted around a corner and slipped through a side exit that led to the underground garage. The door slammed shut behind us, muffling the sound of the alarms but not the tension crackling between us.Elias pulled me behind a black SUV, pressing his back against the metal. His breath was heavy, his face slick with sweat. I wanted to yell at him, blame him for dragging me into this mess, but now wasn’t the time.The sound of doors bursting open echoed through the garage. Flashlights swept the concrete floor.“They’re coming,” I whispered.Elias’s eyes hardened. “Stay

Chapter 9: A Dangerous Proposal
The Ex-Wife's Secret/Stephen George
"You can't confront her, Elias," I said firmly, standing between him and the door. "Selene isn't just your sister—she's a snake with venom that could ruin us both." Elias's jaw tensed, his dark eyes blazing with determination. "I don't have a choice, Victoria. If I let this go, she wins. And I refuse to let her destroy us again." "She's already destroyed enough," I snapped. "If you go to her now, she'll sense your desperation. She'll use it against you, just like she did before." His voice lowered, edged with pain. "And what do you suggest? Sit back while she holds our lives hostage? She's not just after the company anymore—she's after you and our child." The mention of our baby made my chest tighten. I fought to keep my voice steady. "We need a plan, not a reckless showdown. Selene is dangerous because she never fights fair." He took a step closer, his voice softening. "Victoria, I can't let her win. Not this time." I wanted to argue, but the raw emotion in his eyes stopp

Chapter 10: Secrets Unveiled
The Ex-Wife's Secret/Stephen George
"Victoria, you need to see this." Elias's voice was tight with urgency as he held his phone out to me. His brows furrowed, and a muscle ticked in his jaw—a look I’d come to recognize as his prelude to war. I crossed the room, my heart racing. "What is it?" He tapped the screen, bringing up an encrypted email. The subject line alone sent a chill down my spine: Selene Westbrook: Unauthorized Transactions and Shadow Dealings. "Who sent this?" I whispered, scanning the message. "No name, just a signature: X." I narrowed my eyes. "X? That's cryptic." "Whoever this is, they have access to Selene’s financial records," Elias said, his voice hard. "Look at the transfers—massive sums funneled to offshore accounts linked to an organization flagged for illegal activities." I felt the blood drain from my face. "If this gets out, it won't just ruin Selene—it could destroy the entire Westbrook empire." "Good," Elias said through gritted teeth. "She deserves to lose everything." "El
