Elena's footsteps sounded softly coming down the taxi. Her hair was neatly tied up, her face looked tired but determined. Just as she passed through the glass doors of Nathan's office lobby, a man in a black formal suit approached her with a serious face."Sorry, Miss Elena. I have a meeting outside. Please follow me."Elena was suspicious. But when she saw the shiny black sedan parked out front, she had a bad feeling. The window of the car rolled down slowly. Mrs. Sonia's haughty face appeared behind it."Come in, we need to talk," the woman said flatly, in an unassailable tone.Elena took a deep breath. But she stepped in anyway, opened the door and sat in the rear passenger seat. The door locked automatically. The car was still in place, but the atmosphere felt like it was moving into the abyss."What did Madame want to talk about?" Elena asked quietly, calm despite the rumbling in her chest.Without further ado, Madame Sonia took out a thick white envelope from inside her luxuriou

The sound of heavy rain hitting the glass of the building had been heard since the afternoon. The street lights slowly lit up as the sky grew darker. Elena tucked her drawing tools into her folder, took a deep breath and stared at her office window filled with the shadows of water drops.What a day, she thought. But all the designs are done, all the revisions have been sent, nothing else is pending."Miss Elena, you're not home yet?" asked Mila, wearing a light raincoat and carrying an umbrella.Elena stood up and straightened her bag. "Waiting for a taxi."Mila glanced outside. "It's raining really hard. I'll just wait in the lobby."Elena just smiled. After Mila said goodbye, Elena walked down to the lobby. Her shoes were wet from the puddles on the front steps. Her hair was starting to get damp even though it hadn't really left the canopy roof.Elana stood on the sidewalk, trying to order a taxi from the phone app. But everything was "unavailable"."Geez, not like this," she mutte

Elena entered her apartment with shaky steps. The door closed behind her, isolating her from the outside world. She leaned back for a moment, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. The image of the incident in Nathan's car was still vivid in her mind, making her cheeks heat up."What have I done?" she murmured softly, voice barely audible in the quiet room.Elena opened her eyes, gazing around her simple yet cozy apartment. Without turning on the light, she made her way to the bathroom. Every step felt heavy, as if the weight of her thoughts added to the gravity around her.Arriving at the bathroom, Elena turned on the light and looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her normally bright brown eyes now looked dim, filled with doubt and regret."Elena, you have to be stronger," she whispered to herself, trying to be encouraging even though her heart was still in turmoil.Elena took off her clothes one by one, feeling the cold fabric that clung to her skin from the previous rain. Once

The next day. Dusk had fallen and the sky was beginning to turn red on the western horizon when Elena received a message from Tamara. She was sitting in the living room of her modest apartment, staring at her phone screen with a face full of emotion and an irrepressible smile.[Tamara] Elena, you won't believe it! Our new partners have made their payments, and the amount is way beyond expectations] Tamara wrote with a big smile emoji.Elena took a deep breath, feeling both proud and relieved. [Really, Tamara? I didn't expect the results to be this great. All the hard work has finally paid off].It didn't take long for Tamara to reply, [Yes, dear. All the transactions have been completed. Now, you've also completed the tasks at Mr. Nathan's company perfectly]Elena smiled a little while rubbing her cheeks, [Yes, it's true. I think it's time for me to move forward and turn over a new leaf]Elena put down her cell phone and stood near the large window overlooking the city. "I've planned

That morning, Nathan sat in his study with a cup of coffee that hadn't even been touched. He stared blankly at his laptop screen until a soft knock on the door broke his reverie."Come in," he said simply.His assistant entered with a brown folder."Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Nathan," the assistant said carefully. "There's an important letter that just arrived this morning. From Miss Elena."Nathan's eyes immediately sharpened. "Elena?""Yes, sir," Kevin replied as he handed over the folder.Nathan took it quickly and opened the folder. His eyes read it quickly, and instantly his jaw hardened."Resignation?" his voice was low but filled with unsuppressed anger.The assistant gulped. "Yes, sir. The letter is official. He has completed all his duties and-""Without my permission?" cut in Nathan, standing up from his chair. "He thinks he can just leave? How nice of him!"His assistant took half a step back, feeling the pressure of the man's cold aura."Have you tried contacting him?" asked

The International Airport was crowded that afternoon, as usual. People were passing by, welcoming families or rushing to catch flights. However, from among the crowd, a long-haired woman with sunglasses stepped gracefully, accompanied by four children. Behind her glasses, Elena's eyes swept around, breathing in the air she missed so much."Is this where Mommy used to live?" asked Alva, the soon-to-be five-year-old boy, clasping his mother's hand.Elena looked down and smiled, gently touching Alva's head. "Yes, dear. Mommy and your three older sisters used to live here.""Wow, I didn't expect that. I'm going back to this town," exclaimed Olivia, now a teenager, her face looking more and more like Elena.Katty and Delya were busy looking at the big buildings outside the airport. Their faces were enthusiastic."Everything looks different," said Katty."I was only three years old at the time, so I didn't really know the city," Delya continued.Elena just smiled a little. Five years is not

"But I'm still going," Elena said. "Elena..." Nathan let out a long breath. "I know this may sound abrupt. But let me be honest," Nathan said"Just say it, Mr. Nathan.""I love you, Elena."Elena gasped softly. Her gaze darted away, but Nathan didn't let her down. He looked into Elena's face with sincere eyes."Five years I lived with your shadow. Five years I wished you would come back. And now you're in front of my eyes again. I don't want to miss this opportunity."Elena closed her eyes, trying to control her feelings. "Mr. Nathan, I can't return your feelings.""Why not?" Nathan cut in softly. "Is it because of the past? Because of the hurt you got from your ex-husband?"Elena took a deep breath. "I don't want to hurt anyone, including myself. I don't want to open my heart again, Mr. Nathan."Nathan stepped closer, his tone turning softer. "You won't be disappointed if you're with me, Elena. I won't hurt you."Elena looked at Nathan with teary eyes. "You have no idea how hard my

For the past two months, David, the only son of Damian and Isabella, has been hospitalized in the ICU of a renowned Swiss hospital. The five-year-old boy, once born full of hope and luxury, was now battling leukemia."Damian, David has a fever again," Isabella's voice was soft in front of the ICU room. Her hair, which had always been in order, was now pulled into a makeshift bun. Her face was pale, her eyes puffy.Damian stood next to her, wearing a black but rumpled suit. Her eyes had never really closed in the last two months. "I told them not to stop the chemotherapy even though his body is weak," he muttered, more to himself."David is not strong, Damian... his little body is too tired." Isabella hugged her own body, as if protecting her heart that was about to collapse.Damian clenched his fists. "He is the heir to Lancaster. David must be strong."The doctor walked quickly towards them. "Mr. Lancaster, David's condition is deteriorating rapidly. We need to get him into surgery i

That morning, the sky was clear with no clouds.A black car pulled up slowly in front of Alva's school gate. From inside, Sisca - Alva's nanny - got out first, making sure it was safe before opening the door for the little boy."Alva, come on, we're here," Sisca said with a smile.Alva, who was still hugging her little doll, nodded slowly, then went downstairs with cheerful steps.As soon as her little feet touched the ground, several casually dressed bodyguards immediately moved around them. Not flashy, but tight enough to make anyone think twice about approaching.Since the kidnapping case the other day, Elena didn't want to mess around with security anymore. Especially since Alva, her flesh and blood, was now her top priority.Sisca straightened Alva's small bag. "Remember, don't leave the classroom until Auntie comes. If there's anything, go straight to the bodyguard uncle.""Yes..." Alva said with a small nod, then ran towards her friends who were already playing in the school ga
The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 79 - There's no such thing as tired
Five o'clock in the morning. The sky outside was still dark, the apartment air cold. Nathan opened his eyes slowly, realizing that Elena was still fast asleep in his arms. He smiled a little, rubbing Elena's wet hair against his cheek. She looked very tired. Last night Nathan had really tortured Elena with pleasure. Nathan breathed a sigh of relief. He looked down, kissing Elena's forehead without waking her up. "Sleep, my dear..." he whispered softly.Carefully, Nathan got out of bed, picked up his t-shirt that was lying on the floor, then left the room, closing the door gently so as not to disturb her sleep.As he stepped into the living room, Nathan let out a small yawn. "Alright, next assignment..." he muttered as he ruffled his hair.Nathan opened his phone, looking at the digital clock that was already pointing at five past ten. After thinking for a moment, Nathan smiled - he knew Elena's kids were usually up early to get ready for school. Nathan walked into the child

The air in the room was warm, but in Elena and Nathan's chests, a bigger fire was already burning.They were still lying down, their breathing not quite back to normal.Nathan caressed Elena's cheek with the back of his finger, a small smile perched on the corner of his lips."Elena... Thank you," he whispered, as if still unable to believe the woman in front of him was truly his tonight.Elena closed her eyes for a moment, savoring the caress. "I can't believe we're finally here either," she murmured.Nathan chuckled, then leaned down to kiss Elena gently on the forehead. "And I'll never let you go."They stared at each other for a few moments, then, as if there was something he didn't want to let go of, Nathan got up from the bed and tugged on Elena's hand."Where are you going?" asked Elena, her voice hoarse and spoiled.Nathan smiled mysteriously. "Just come along."Nervously, Elena shook her head but followed Nathan into the bathroom.Nathan opened the shower, letting the warm wa
The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 77 - A Night with Nathan
After the simple but hearty dinner, Elena began to clear the table. She carried a pile of dirty dishes to the kitchen, while the children's laughter could be heard from upstairs. One by one, Olivia, Katty, Delya, and Alva went to their respective rooms. The apartment was finally quiet again.Nathan stood in the doorway of the kitchen, watching the busy Elena. She leaned against the wall, arms crossed over her chest, a small smile playing on her lips."Elena..." he called softly.Elena turned her head, smiling tiredly but warmly. "Hmm?"Nathan stepped closer without making much noise. In an instant, he was hugging Elena from behind, his chin resting on her shoulder. The warmth of Nathan's body made the cold night air feel lighter.Elena froze for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and let herself lean back in the embrace.Nathan took a deep breath, as if holding back something he had been meaning to say for a long time. "Let me ask you something else..." he whispered in Elena's e
The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 76 - The Arrival of the Ex-Husband
That afternoon, Elena's apartment was quiet. Nathan and Tamara had just left, having spent hours making plans with Li Zheng. Elena had just closed the door when the doorbell rang again.Ting tong.Elena frowned, feeling strange. She stepped carefully to the door, peeking through the small hole.And her eyes immediately froze.Damian.With his neat gray suit and his trademark flat face, the man stood at the door, as if his arrival was a matter of course.Elena let out a long breath, trying to calm the boiling anger. She opened the door just a little, enough to slip her body in the gap."What do you want to come here again, Damian?" Elena asked coldly."I want to see the kids." Damian's voice was flat, but his gaze was sharp, piercing.Elena smiled a small, cynical smile. "It's useless. They won't want to see you.""I want to see them," Damian insisted, moving a little closer. "I'm the father."Elena held the door firmly. "No, no, no. I won't let you in."Damian hardened his jaw. "I'm t
The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 75 - Damian's Plan
Inside the study, Damian sat leaning back in his chair, staring intently at the files on the desk. In front of him, Isabella was pacing back and forth, an annoyed look on her face."I told you, this isn't necessary, Damian," Isabella exclaimed, her voice rising.Yes, this woman strongly disagreed with Damian taking a DNA test. Just now her husband had said that he would DNA test Alva and himself, just to convince himself of the accusations against Elena. Damian didn't answer. He just picked up a form from the table - the DNA test consent form."I want reassurance, Isabella. I want to know... whether Alva is really my son or not."Isabella stopped her steps, staring at Damian as if he had just insulted her entire ancestry. "You're crazy! What a waste of time! It's obvious that Alva is not your flesh and blood! You didn't forget, did you? Elena, the designer queen, was hit with a case that she often climbed into the beds of businessmen to get financial injections. Certainly, Alva is no
The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 74 - Stocks Go Down Again, Queen Elena
That morning, the air felt stale than usual. Elena sat in the living room of her apartment, hugging her knees as she stared at the muted television screen. The business news scrolled quickly below, like a knife that kept slicing slowly into her sanity.~Stocks in a company owned by Elena Queen fell 3.4 percent this morning. The mall owned by Elena Queen also in the city center was reportedly empty of visitors. Analysts expect this to be an ongoing effect of the scandal that broke last week~Her cell phone rang. It was Tamara.Elena immediately picked up the phone."Elena, it's bad!". "I know, Tamara," she said quickly."Yes, but... Honey, you should see this morning's report. It's not just the central mall, our branches in Italy and Thailand are also dropping in turnover. They're asking - should we stop operations for a while?"Elena closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Don't panic... let's hold off for now. Let's set up a conference call this afternoon, and I'll explain myself."
The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 73 - Ex-Husband Gets Investors
That morning, at Damian's company headquarters, the atmosphere was different from usual. The staff looked more energized, as if a fresh breeze had just entered through the long-closed window.Damian walked into the boardroom, his suit neat, his face full of confidence. Several directors sat in a row, looking at him with mixed expressions of relief and disbelief."Good morning," Damian opened the meeting, his voice calm but steady."Mr. Damian, we just got confirmation," said one of the directors. "The new investor has officially injected funds. We can breathe easier starting this month."Damian nodded. "How much is the total investment?""Eight trillion, initial stage."David's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that number wasn't small, and he also knew... it didn't come without a price."Who introduced this investor?" asked Damian, though he already knew the answer.One of the PR staff sitting in the corner of the room raised a hesitant hand. "Mrs. Isabella, Mr. Damian. She presented o

A while later. "This can't be... This guy's too sneaky," Nathan muttered, his eyes glued to the laptop screen that had just displayed the latest report from the digital tracking team.Mira nodded, her expression no less frustrated. "That guy erased the trail before we could identify the last IP point. We came close to finding the exact location, but somehow, the account just disappeared. All the records just vanished, like a ghost.""That guy's no amateur," Nathan rubbed his tired face. "This is clearly the work of someone who knows how to hide their identity... or has the help of a cyber insider."Elena stayed at the far end of the room, standing hugging herself. Her gaze was blank outside the window, staring at the buildings that had been a symbol of her former glory-which now felt like they were laughing at her."We almost knew who it was, but we failed," Mira said quietly."That means that person is still one step ahead of us," Elena replied quietly, her voice like mist covering
