All Chapters of A One-Night Stand With Her Ex-Husband: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Early the next morning, Cynthia woke to find Lucien already gone. He must have gone to the hospital to visit his grandfather.Although yesterday's confrontation had been satisfying, it had only intensified the conflict between Lucien and the Brown family. She didn't believe for a second that Lucien would give up his position as CEO of BW Group just to get back together with her, nor did she want to see Edric and Mandy gain anything from it.Did they really think that a few harsh words could just wipe the slate clean? What about all the humiliation, the pain, and the soul-crushing despair he had once inflicted on her? Was she supposed to just forget all of that?No. She would make him pay—twice over—for everything she had suffered. He would taste it all, and more.She went straight to the hospital. Just outside Thomas's room, she ran into Mandy, who was holding a bouquet of flowers."What are you doing here?" Mandy's face darkened."Visiting Grandpa," Cynthia replied with a smile. "Is

Cynthia's mornings now came with a new assignment: driving Lucien to work. But on the very first day, things nearly went sideways—they almost rear-ended the car in front.When she finally pulled up in front of the BW Building with a less-than-stellar parking job, Lucien calmly adjusted his cufflinks."Compared to that man," he said suddenly, his voice soft as a feather, "I treat you much better."Cynthia froze, her hands still on the steering wheel."Aren't you leaving?" Lucien opened the door and added, "Don't loiter here showing off that you're my woman."Only then did she notice the crowd of employees sneaking glances their way. Flustered, she slammed her foot on the gas. Two blocks later, she hit the brakes hard—wait a minute. Who was showing off?The realization struck her belatedly. Yesterday, she'd mentioned that Gerald had been too scared to get in a car she was driving. And today, this man was proving with actions that he was braver. That childish need to win...Her grip tigh

Cynthia glanced at the nearly untouched carrot dishes still sitting on the dining table and let out a bitter smile. Lucien hadn't come home all night—not a single call, not even a text.Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, she stared at her tired reflection and suddenly found it all laughable."What was I expecting?" she murmured to the woman in the mirror. "This was just a transaction."She had agreed to become his mistress for five million. Who knew how many other women he'd "collected" the same way? Taking her to the Brown estate... maybe that was just part of some elaborate revenge plot—to make her witness Edric, the man she once loved, now playing family with his cousin.Icy water splashed against her face as she scrubbed hard, as if trying to wash away the restlessness gnawing at her chest.Jacqueline's words echoed in her ears—"Once the real one shows up, you're just a knockoff."Maybe that was the key. Maybe sh

By the time rush hour hit, the online backlash had turned into a full-blown hurricane.Faked "chat logs" flooded the internet, supposedly showing Cynthia brazenly threatening to "run over Jacqueline" and even confessing to being the mastermind behind previous incidents. Even more alarming, her side profile, home address, and workplace had all been leaked. The website of F.E. Magazine crashed under the onslaught of enraged netizens."She thinks she's some Marvel superhero?" Gina scoffed."This isn't a joke!" Pearl was nearly in tears. "That online vigilante group has actually helped the police solve real cases before. Now they're convinced Cynthia's a homewrecker and a murderer. They're out there looking for her!"Cynthia leaned back in her chair, fingers tapping the table in thought. Jacqueline had played her cards well—using the exact tactics Lucien had once used against her. Poetic justice. She glanced at Pearl. "Do you know anyone insid

With a whirlwind of passion, Cynthia was completely spent. She didn't have the strength to argue anymore, or even resist. All she wanted now was to sleep.But Lucien wouldn't let her.He pulled her into his arms, watching her settle like a stroked cat finally soothed."You were angry the other day because you thought I went to see another woman, weren't you?"Cynthia played dead.Lucien bit her ear. She slapped him. He looked pissed."Cynthia!"She opened her eyes and stared at him. "What have you been doing these past few days?"Her tone was almost that of a wife questioning her husband.Lucien studied her. "You care what I've been doing?"Cynthia turned away and lay back down. But of course Lucien wasn't done. His hands wandered again.Suddenly, Cynthia twisted around and bit his ear hard. That finally shut him up.She stared at his dumbfounded face and the way he was looking at her—it made her skin crawl. She turned her back to him.Lucien pulled her back, face unusually serious."
