All Chapters of The Ex-Wife Seeks Revenge: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Charles POV:The city was alive with its usual sounds as I sat in my office, high above the busy streets. Cars honked their horns, people chatted on the sidewalks, and the rain fell in a steady rhythm. I was lost in thought, my mind filled with images of her - Agatha De Rossi.I had known about Agatha's arrest even before she did. My spies at Richards Inc. had kept me informed, Nathan want her destroyed, and I had confirmed it with my sources at NexGen Tech. I had rushed to her side, playing the knight in shining armor. But it wasn't just about saving her; I had made sure the paparazzi and media cameras were there. I wanted the world to see me as Agatha De Rossi's new partner.But then, Camille showed up. She had looked at me with those accusing eyes, and I couldn't help but feel annoyed by her presence. She just wanted to be seen as a good friend, when she was just a mistress.As I sat in my office, I found myself reflecting on my first meeting with Agatha. It was at the gala, whe

I nodded, my throat scratchy. His kindness and worry about me were both sweet and a bit much to handle. I almost wanted to hug him and feel safe, but then I remembered everything that happened and held back.We walked along the beach quietly for a while, just listening to the waves crashing. I was about to say something when Charles's phone rang."Sorry, gotta take this," he said with an apologetic look. He walked a few steps away and spoke softly into the phone.While he talked, I took a moment to think, looking out at the ocean. I wondered who was calling - maybe it was about work.After a few minutes, Charles came back looking worried and focused."Is everything okay?" I asked, worried about his frown.Charles tried to smile, but his shoulders were tight. "It's fine, Agatha. Just work calling. Nothing major, but I gotta do a video meeting now."I felt a bit bummed, but I get it. "No worries, go ahead. I'll be fine here for a bit."He squeezed my hand gently. "I'll be quick, prom

Agatha POV:Charles and I strolled along the beach like we always do in the afternoon. The ocean breeze felt awesome, and the waves crashed softly nearby."This vacation's amazing!" I said to Charles. "Thanks again for bringing me."Charles grinned. "No problem! Glad you're chilling out."We walked quietly for a bit, just enjoying each other and the pretty view. Then, Charles said something that stopped me cold."Too bad Nathan blew it with a fine woman like you," he said.I froze and turned to him. "What'd you say?"Charles blinked, surprised. "Uh, I was just saying Nathan messed up by treating you bad...""Don't even mention Nathan," I cut him off, holding up my hand. "I don't wanna think about him right now.""Of course," Charles said fast. "Sorry about that." We started walking again, but my stomach did flips. Why'd Charles have to mention Nathan? Ugh.Like he could read my mind, Charles spoke up. "Honestly, I never got why you liked Nathan. He totally wasn't good enough for som

Nathan POV:My hands were sweaty as I stood in the De Rossi mansion's giant entryway. My heart pounded against my ribs like a drum solo. This was my last shot – my one chance to win Agatha back and fix everything I messed up.The past few weeks had been a harsh wake-up call. Watching my company crumble while Agatha thrived at NexGen… it made me realize how badly I screwed up. I took her for granted, treated her like she didn't matter. I was an idiot for letting go of the only woman who ever truly loved me.And now, staring into her beautiful, guarded eyes, I knew I had to spill my guts, no matter how embarrassing it felt. Camille and the baby? They were a million miles away in my mind. All that mattered was Agatha, and convincing her to give me another shot."Agatha," I began, my voice shaky. "I know I messed up. I have no right to be here, to ask you to forgive me.

Charles POV:The city blurred past as I drove, my mind a whirlwind. Taking down Nathan felt good, powerful. But a nagging feeling, like a pebble in my shoe, wouldn’t go away. Had I gone too far?Lying to Agatha about us… it went against everything I usually did. She deserved honesty, the chance to make her own choices. But the thought of losing her, of seeing her go back to Nathan… it made my stomach twist. I’d come too far, invested too much. Agatha was mine. Or she would be, if I played this right.I kept checking the rearview mirror, half expecting to see Nathan’s car on my tail. The guy was desperate, unhinged. What would he do next? He’d already stopped begging in front of Agatha. What lengths would he go to win her back?My phone buzzed, snapping me out of my thoughts. I glanced at the screen and smiled. My partner in crime was calling.“Well, well, if it isn’t my favorite accomplice,” I answered, my voice light.“Charles, my friend,” a smooth voice purred. “I trust you
