After Divorce, My Secretary Wife Becomes Rival Boss
Charlotte devoted six years to being the perfect wife and the efficient secretary—loyal, and the quiet force behind Drake Watson’s corporate empire. She sacrificed her career, her dreams, and even her dignity. But when betrayal shattered her world, she lost everything, including the child she never got to hold, the moment her husband’s mistress, Mia, returned from Paris.
After a devastating loss, Charlotte finally resigns, files for divorce, and walks away from Drake.
Drake believed losing her was just an inconvenience until she returned, not as his wife, but as his worst nightmare. Now a powerful CEO in her own right, she’s no longer the obedient secretary who lived in his shadow. She’s his rival, and the one woman he can’t afford to underestimate.
But what happens when the woman he cast aside becomes the storm that could bring him down, not just in business, but in the one place that will hurt him the most… his heart.
Drake isn’t the man she thought he was. As she rises in the corporate world, he fights to pull her back into his arms. But can she trust the man who once shattered her? And will revenge be enough… when love still burns between them?

Chapter: Chapter 0226Charlotte's POV We hopped into the car and I didn't need to remind Ivy that she needed to put on her seatbelt. Those were one of the things I was grateful to God for concerning her.She was smart and reliable to an extent."Shall we?" I asked cheerfully and I got a "yup!" In return.I stepped on the accelerator of the already turned on car and in no time we were driving through the streets.I took the turn into the main expressway and headed to the park Ivy wanted us to hang out in. The place was quite the distance but I was willing to take it to breathe fresh air and maybe attract Sawyer's attention in the process.I kept on the straight road until it was time to make a left turn and I did.We were on the new road leading to the park when I noticed that a van was following us. I thought it was my imagination, maybe I was making it up in my head. I went to the left side of the road and the van followed.I went to the right side and it still followed."Mummy, drive on a straight road!

Chapter: Chapter 0225Charlotte's POV From the way Drake answered his call, it seemed like something was happening somewhere and it was an emergency.I had to fight with myself to hold back from asking him what the matter was or what was going on.I had to do it for my family, my daughter. After my encounter with Mia, I realized that she wasn't just some psycho, she was a f****d up b****h and she had nothing to lose if one should check things out, she had nothing at all to lose if she decides to go wild and begin a bloodbath while I on the other hand had everything to lose.I couldn't go into war blindly and fight against forces that were greater than me when I had a life, a whole life dependent on me and my decisions. An empire rested on my shoulders and one wrong decision, just one little mistake and everything will become history.I didn't want that to be the story. I didn't want it to be the case so I decided that I was going to guard what I had dearly and steer clear of any complicated situations tha

Chapter: Chapter 0224Drake's POV "Everyone, get up. Let's go." I lifted my gaze to see who it was and I saw Charlotte looking like she had just encountered a ghost.I swallowed the meat I was chewing and opened my mouth to speak but she spoke again."I said let's leave!" She sounded so alarmed, her hand shook and she reached for her bag sitting on the chair beside me.And I knew then that she saw something. Whatever it was, it wasn't right."But I'm still eating Mummy..." Ivy complained with no interest in leaving her food."Come on darling, we need to go now. I'll place an order so they will bring it to the house later." I told her as I led her out of her seat.She held a frown on her face but stood to her feet still and reluctantly walked out of the restaurant.Charlotte was on edge throughout the drive home and she was biting her finger nails nervously. I was dying to ask her what happened outside but I held myself.I didn't want Ivy to notice the thickness in the air.I drove as fast as possible, sti

Chapter: Chapter 0223Drake's POV "You will not understand Drake. You just have to accept me this way. You just need to be with me. I can't let you be with that girl." Mia said, her sobbing expression shifted to a one filled with hatred so suddenly, I was caught off guard.This would not be the first time she said something like that. She had always said she didn't want me to be with Charlotte and she said things like "must it be her?"If I ask her what she meant by that she would reply that she didn't want it to be Charlotte. It could be any other woman but not Charlotte.And now, she said it again.I leaned in, my eyes squinted and my voice low."Why do you not want it to be her Mia? What the fvck is wrong with Charlotte that you do not want to see me with her? What is your fvcking problem?! Leave me the fvck alone!" I said those words with a low voice but I was certain she got the message."You won't understand Drake but you really can't be with her. You have to listen to me this time around. You can't

Chapter: Chapter 0222Charlotte's POV "Don't you get it? I can't drive myself to get what I want at the mall. Do you know how heartbreaking it is for me to want something for my work but I can't leave the house or drive myself to get something from the mall because I am a kid? Do you know the struggle?"I let out a chuckle at the way she was exaggerating things."Uhmm, yes... we were both kids before, remember?" I replied.She shook her head again."Still, I bet you two didn't go through the pain I have to go through now. I can't work harder because I am a kid. Your parents probably got you everything you needed while you were still little so you didn't need to do anything." She replied and I rolled my eyes.Ivy was persistent. And this argument could go on and on if continued to entertain her."Okay miss. I agree. Being a child is hard. Happy now?""Okay now ladies, no fighting." Drake cooled"I'm not fighting, I'm too cool for that." Ivy replied but before any of us could reply to her, she spoke again a

Chapter: Chapter 0221Charlotte's POV "I suggest that you live the opposite way. Live very happily. If possible, grant an interview and make sure you put your brightness smile on while answering the interview questions. Continued to live like that and he will come searching, out of the shadows. Then we can catch him once he is out." Drake's words made a lot of sense and a thoughtful expression covered my face as I considered what he said."That makes a lot of sense." I said more to myself than to him and he let a sharp smile cross his face."I know. If you have tried to get a particular result using one pattern and it hasn't worked all these while then you need to try a different approach." He said rather proud of himself. "What if he is not in town like the officer suspected? What if something has happened to Sabrina and he ran out from the city and is trying to hide his tracks? Would he respond to me if I pull this kind of prank?" I asked, unsure about what I was about to do."I think there is only on
