All Chapters of The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

After the meeting with Miss Shera, which went smoothly despite Damian's chaos, Elena chose to sit for a while in a small restaurant not far from the previous cafe. The place was quiet, the music soft, and the aroma of coffee mixed with vanilla soothed her foggy mind.She sat in the corner, staring blankly out the window. Her hand stirred the jasmine tea without really intending to drink it. Her mind still returns to Damian's pleading face-the face she once fell in love with, now inviting only disgust and anger."Even if he kneels in front of the whole world," Elena thought sharply, "I won't forgive that bastard. Everything he destroyed... can't be rebuilt with a ring and a sweet promise."She took a deep breath, trying to get rid of the tightness in her chest. One thing was for sure, her life was much better without Damian. And today was just a small reminder of how far he had come."Excuse me... Elena Whitmore?"A warm baritone voice jolted her thoughts. Elena turned quickly, and her

"Elena, I-" Nathan's voice was almost drowned out by the noisy conversation inside the restaurant, but his eyes radiated something Elena couldn't ignore.Elena frowned, confused by the man's expression. "What is it, Mr. Nathan?"Without answering, Nathan grabbed Elena's wrist and pulled her gently but firmly out of the restaurant. Elena was slightly taken aback by the sudden action."Nathan, what do you want? I still have to-""Just for a minute," Nathan cut in. "I can't stand to see you sitting with that guy."They stepped out onto the wet sidewalk. Nathan opened his car door and looked at Elena with an unusual look in his eyes. "Get in, please."Elena hesitated for a moment. But finally she got in, letting Nathan close the door and sit on the driver's side. They were silent for a few seconds. The rain pounded on the windshield in a quiet rhythm."Elena," Nathan finally spoke up, still staring straight ahead. "Who is he?""Who?" Elena asked back, knowing who he meant."That guy at th

The sky was darkening as the clock struck seven in the evening. The city lights came on slowly, and the cool night air crept in through the window gaps. Elena had just finished feeding Alva, while Delya was busy with a toy on the floor. The bell rang. Elena frowned, not expecting visitors at this time of night. She walked quickly to the door and opened it. The figure of Nathan stood there, neat, dashing in a dark suit that framed his body perfectly."Hi," Nathan greeted, with that signature smile that somehow always managed to make Elena's heart beat faster."Nathan?" Elena was a little startled. "What's wrong, you didn't say you were coming?"Nathan lifted a small box from behind his body-a bunch of lilies and white roses. "I wanted to take you to dinner," he said, hopefully. "I've already booked the place. Would you like to?"Elena reflexively turned her head inside the house, towards the children playing. "I can't. I can't just leave the kids.""You go, Elena, let me take care of

Isabella threw her sunglasses onto the floor of the room, causing the glass to shatter. Her breathing was ragged, her face red with anger that had yet to subside."How dare Damian slap me! In front of that bitch too!" she muttered through clenched teeth.She walked back and forth in the room, ruffling her half-done hair. Shame, anger, and hurt all mixed together in her chest. Damian's voice came back to her, defending her... but not for her. For Elena."He prefers that woman... just because Elena gave birth to the Lancaster heir?"Isabella held back the tears that were about to fall, then suddenly her eyes caught the screen of her cell phone on the table. She picked it up quickly, opened the contacts, then pressed a name she hadn't called in a long time.The call connected."Yes?" the heavy voice on the other end answers."I have a job for you," Isabella said quickly, coldly."How much?" the man asked, matter-of-factly."I want you to kidnap a little boy. His name is Alva. He's about

"WHY did the CCTV suddenly break?!" Elena's voice echoed in the quiet teacher's lounge.One of the school's IT staff looked down nervously. "I don't know either, Miss Elena. This morning it was still all on. But this afternoon, the recording of the gate section suddenly became unreadable. It looks like an error in the system.""Error?" Elena groaned in frustration. "So the only clue as to who took my child away is that they just disappeared?"Alva's homeroom teacher tried to calm her down. "We're really sorry, Miss Elena. But we think that man was sent by Noba Elena to pick up Alva.""Never mind!" snapped Elena, her eyes starting to turn red. "never obey anyone these days! It's kidnapping! KIDNAPPING!"Pale-faced, Elena rushed out of the teacher's lounge. Her hands were shaking as she pulled her cell phone from her bag. She immediately dialed Tamara's number."Tamara! Listen to me carefully. Alva... Alva is missing. She's been kidnapped," Elena's voice shook, barely catching her breat
