Her Ex-Husband's Obession
To Julian, Susan was a burden to be discarded. After she sacrificed her elite career to marry him, he repaid her with infidelity and cruelty, mocking her body after motherhood and flaunting his mistresses in her presence. He thought that by stripping her of her pride, he would leave her with nothing.
He was wrong.
While working at a coffee shop just to get close to him, Susan never lost her genius. On the day of an interview that changed her life, she risks everything to save an old man from a speeding car. She arrives for the interview just to be mocked and shunned, only to realize the man she rescued is the patriarch of the Hawthorne Empire.
Now, Susan is the rising star of the tech world, working for the formidable CEO Adrian Hawthorne. As she transforms into a powerhouse, a regretful Julian tries to reclaim the woman he once shamed. But Susan isn't looking back.
Between a vengeful ex, a jealous heiress, and the Hawthorne heir who finally sees her true worth, Susan is about to prove that the best revenge isn't just moving on, it’s outshining everyone who ever doubted her.

Chapter: EIGHTThe first thing Julian noticed was how relaxed everyone looked. He stood near the edge of the room, jacket still on, phone in his hand, watching his family celebrate.His mother laughed too loudly at something his father had just said. The house smelled like wood polish, the same way it always had. His father lounged back in the leather chair, as though something unwanted had finally been removed.“Well,” his mother said brightly, lifting her teacup, “it’s finally over.”His father let out a short, pleased laugh. “About time.”Julian didn’t respond. He moved closer and sat down. He told himself the tightness in his chest was fatigue. Anything but what it actually was.“I still can’t believe you stayed with her as long as you did,” his mother continued. “Enduring three years in that sham marriage.”Julian’s jaw tightened.“She always acted like we were oppressing her,” his sister, Lisa added from her spot by the window, scrolling through her phone. “As if marrying into this family wasn

Chapter: SEVENSusan stood outside and stared at the chain of buildings. The Hawthorne Corporation rose from the ground in all it's glory. The building intimidated and terrified her. It renewed her vow to prove that she belonged there.Susan stood at the security gate for a moment longer than necessary, her pulse steady and alert. She clipped her badge to her blazer.Susan WhitmoreStrategic Investment & Security AnalystClearance: Executive-RestrictedHer name looked unfamiliar beneath the title, like it belonged to someone unfamiliar, someone braver than she felt most days.The scanner lit green.Inside, the air was cooler. Quieter. Conversations were muted, purposeful. No wasted laughter. No eye contact. Everyone here walked like they were already late to something important.Susan followed the signs to her new office.It wasn’t large, but it was precise. Glass walls reinforced with privacy tinting. A huge desk built into the floor. From where she stood, she could see the executive corridor. She

Chapter: SIXJulian received the report at exactly 9:17 a.m.His executive assistant didn’t announce it the usual way. She didn’t knock once and step in briskly, tablet ready, voice neutral. She hesitated outside the glass door long enough for him to notice.“Come in,” he said sharply.She placed the folder on his desk with both hands. It was thicker than he expected.“Sir,” she said carefully, “this is everything we could find.”Julian flipped it open. The first page was clean. Clinical. Deceptively simple.Educational Background. Certifications. Professional Affiliations.His jaw tightened as he read. He saw institutions he recognized, programs that he respected and certifications that weren’t ornamental but brutal to obtain, resource management licences, systems security accreditations, advanced analytics coursework that required years of discipline.He turned the page. Then another. And another.He truly did not know the woman he married.A tech startup registered under her name, three years a

Chapter: FIVEThe morning paper trembled slightly in her hands as the train rattled forward. The headline caught her eye anyway.TECH EMPIRE STUMBLES AFTER DATA BREACH, INVESTORS WITHDRAWHer gaze sharpened.She read slowly, carefully, absorbing every word. A handful of investors had pulled out, not enough to cripple the company, but enough to matter. Enough to send the company’s share price sliding just a little lower than yesterday.Her lips curved in a mirthless laugh. So it’s begun.She folded the paper neatly and stared out the window as the city passed by. Reflections overlapped, her tired eyes, her softer cheeks, the faint line between her brows that hadn’t been there three years ago.Everyone used to say it.“She loves Julian too much.”“She worships the ground he walks on.”“She’d ruin herself for him if he asked.”They weren’t wrong. Their marriage was enough evidence. He treated her like thrash, his parents and sister treated her worst than the servants. She answered to his every whim at

Chapter: FOURBy the third day, everyone knew.Not because Julian said anything but because his life had begun to look wrong, very wrong.The rumors started quietly. A whisper near the coffee machine. A glance exchanged when he walked past.“Have you noticed him lately?”“He looks like hell.”“Didn’t his wife leave?”Julian heard none of it. Or rather, he heard all of it and refused to acknowledge it.He arrived late to the office for the second time that week, tie crooked, eyes bloodshot, jaw tight with a hangover he hadn’t bothered to mask. His executive assistant stood up immediately.“Sir, your schedule ...”“Cancel everything before noon,” he snapped, walking past her without looking. “And don’t bring me coffee. It tastes like mud.”She blinked, startled.Normally, his coffee was already waiting on his desk. Exactly how he liked it. No sugar. One splash of milk. The mug warmed.Today, the desk was empty. Julian paused. Just for a second. Then he scoffed under his breath and dropped into his ch

Chapter: THREEJulian pushed the front door open with the casual expectation of noise. The low hum of the kettle, the soft shuffle of slippers and the lights she usually left on for him anytime he was home late.Instead, the door swung inward to silence. The kind that rang in his ears.He frowned, stepping inside. The lights were off. The living room smelled faintly of lemon cleaner. His jacket slipped from his fingers and landed on the couch.“She’ll be back,” he muttered, loosening his tie. “This is just one of her tantrums.”She had moods. She always did, especially after the baby came. She was always crying and whining about everything. He had learned to tune it out.Julian walked deeper into the apartment. The nursery door was open. Alarms bells began to ring in Julian's head when he saw the empty crib.His steps slowed.“No,” he said softly, almost amused. “That’s not funny.”He checked the bedroom. Half of her closet was bare. Drawers were open, her jewelry box gone. The photo frames missing
