All Chapters of The Ex-Wife's Secret: Chapter 11 - Chapter 15

“You can’t trust anyone in this world,” the gravelly voice declared from across the dimly lit room. The speaker, a shadowy figure with a scar running along his temple, leaned forward. His face remained obscured, but his words cut through the tension like a blade. “Not even your family.” Elias’s jaw clenched. “We already know that firsthand. Just give us the evidence.” The man slid a thick envelope across the table. “These are copies of financial transactions linking Selene Westbrook to off-shore accounts and illegal dealings. You’ll also find correspondence with a shadow organization. It’s all there—enough to bury her.” My breath hitched. Selene’s betrayal ran deeper than I had ever imagined. Seeing the proof in front of us made the nightmare we’d lived through feel even more real. “Why are you helping us?” I asked, my voice steady despite the storm brewing inside me. He smirked. “Let’s just say I have my reasons. But I’m not doing this out of charity. There’s a price.” El

"That's a risk I'm willing to take."I crossed my arms. "Well, I'm not. I can't watch you destroy

"Victoria," a familiar voice called, freezing me in place.I spun around, my breath catching in my throat. Daniel Langston. The man I hadn't seen in years. The man whose sudden departure once left a void I had convinced myself was never truly there. His blue eyes gleamed with a mixture of nostalgia and something far more dangerous—curiosity."Daniel?"
