บททั้งหมดของ Rejected Ex-Wife Returns As A CEO: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Chapter Eleven The grandeur of Kingston Enterprises’ London headquarters felt colder than ever. The massive glass walls reflected the storm brewing both inside and out. Rain lashed against the windows, echoing the tension crackling in the air.At the heart of the tension sat Aaron Kingston.Dark, brooding, and dangerously silent.The conference room was filled with Kingston’s top executives, all seated around the massive mahogany table, their hushed whispers colliding like static in the air.But Aaron wasn’t listening to their financial reports.His gaze was locked on the press release displayed on the massive screen at the front of the room.“La Reina Holdings CEO to Attend Kingston Enterprises Annual Summit.”The words burned into his mind like a brand.She’s coming here. To my territory.Sofia Laurent.His ex-wife.The woman he had wronged more than anyone.The woman who was systematically dismantling everything he had built.Why?Why now?Why, after all these years, had she chose

Chapter Thirteen The applause still echoed faintly in the grand hall, but Aaron felt nothing but the pulse of raw anger pounding through his veins.Sofia stood poised at the center of the room, a glass of sparkling water in hand, her emerald gown shimmering beneath the lights. The smile she wore wasn’t just confident—it was a declaration.A challenge.She had delivered a blow. A calculated, ruthless move designed not just to wound his company but to humiliate him publicly.And she was winning.But what Sofia didn’t know—what she had clearly underestimated—was that Aaron Kingston never stayed down.His jaw tightened as he handed his untouched whiskey to a passing server and began moving toward her, weaving through the crowd with the precision of a predator closing in on his prey.She noticed him approaching immediately.He saw it in the way her fingers tightened just slightly around the stem of her glass, the slight parting of her lips.But she didn’t flinch.She stood tall, waiting f

Chapter Fifteen The morning sun barely touched the skyline when Sofia sat in the plush leather chair of her attorney’s office, her fingers clutching the armrests so tightly her nails dug into the material.The smell of fresh paper and polished wood filled the room, but all she could hear was the echo of Aaron’s final words from the night before.“Then I’ll see you in court.”The ache in her chest felt unbearable. But she couldn’t let it break her. Not now.Seated across from her was Amelia Graves, her attorney—sharp, unrelenting, and one of the most sought-after family law specialists in Europe. Her platinum-blonde hair was tied back in a severe bun, her sharp eyes scanning the documents laid out before her.“He’s filed for partial custody,” Amelia said, tapping the legal papers spread across the mahogany desk. “Shared visitation rights, every other weekend, alternating holidays. He’s also petitioning for an immediate paternity test to formally establish his biological claim.”Sofia’

Chapter Seventeen The soft glow of the nursery nightlight bathed the room in gentle hues of gold and cream. The twins were sound asleep, their peaceful breaths the only sound in the quiet space.But Sofia wasn’t at peace.She stood in the doorway, arms wrapped around herself, staring at her sleeping children as if they might disappear if she blinked.The image of Aaron kneeling before Liam and Aria earlier that day refused to leave her mind.The way his voice had cracked. The raw emotion in his eyes.It wasn’t an act.It couldn’t be.Yet, the memories of her pain—the hospital, the rain, the betrayal—clung too tightly to let her believe he’d changed.You can’t trust him.But she had seen it.Felt it.And now, for the first time, Sofia wasn’t sure if she was fighting for revenge…Or if she was fighting to protect the walls she had built around herself.A soft knock startled her from her thoughts.Her heartbeat quickened as she gently closed the nursery door behind her, padding barefoot

Chapter Nineteen: Unraveling the Past The rain had slowed by morning, but the tension clinging to Sofia's chest hadn't eased. She stood by the kitchen window, watching the pale sun struggle to break through the gray clouds. The twins were still asleep, curled safely in their beds. But she wasn’t safe. Not from the storm raging inside her. Aaron’s words haunted her—*I didn’t know. I can’t change the past, but I can be here now.* Why did his voice still have the power to affect her? Why did she feel like she was losing control when she had spent so long building herself back up? Her phone buzzed on the marble counter. Elise. Sofia hesitated before answering, forcing her voice into a steady calm. “Morning.” Elise didn’t waste time. “I saw the press releases. Kingston’s legal team hasn’t responded to the custody hearing updates yet. That’s either a sign he’s rethinking his strategy or…” “Or he’s planning something,” Sofia finished, her jaw tightening.
