ABANDONED BY MY EX, ACCEPTED HIS BOSS'S PROPOSAL CHAPTER 121
Chapter 121 – Press and PressureThe sun bled low across the Manhattan skyline, gilding the steel towers in fire as twilight crept in. Outside Banks Enterprises, the atmosphere was anything but still. A crowd had gathered—reporters clutching notepads and recorders, cameramen adjusting tripods, and curious onlookers drawn by the quiet promise of history in the making. At the heart of it all stood Clara Walsh.Clara’s heels clicked against the marble, echoing like gunfire in the tense hush that blanketed the square. Her chest rose and fell with purpose as she approached the podium—a makeshift platform hastily arranged but now weighted with the gravity of truth. Her auburn hair was swept off her face, pinned behind her ears, revealing eyes that glinted like sharpened glass under the glare of the camera lights.Avi and Kevin stood behind her, their expressions tight with anticipation. Veronica, dressed in black, stood slightly to the left, her phone clutched tightly in her gloved hand, wh

Chapter 120 – The Beginning of WarThe morning sky hung low, blanketed in gray, a shroud of clouds casting the world in steel hues. But Clara Vale hardly noticed. Her attention was fixed on the reflection of her own face in the tall glass windows of Veronica’s study. The weight of the moment pressed against her chest, though her shoulders were squared, her spine straight. No more running. No more hiding. The past had sharpened her into something unbreakable.The silence in the room was more than stillness—it was a living, breathing thing, full of expectation.Beside her, Avi flipped through the folder Kevin had put together, each page a nail in Richard Hale’s coffin. Contracts with forged signatures, wire transfers to offshore accounts, medical falsifications stretching back years. It was more than enough to make anyone sweat—but Clara knew Richard wouldn’t sweat. Not yet. Men like him only bled when the knife went in.Veronica sat at her desk, her presence commanding even in stillnes

Chapter 119 – One Last Try The rain had tapered off hours ago, leaving behind a cold dampness that clung to the early morning air like a ghost. Puddles shimmered beneath the pale glow of the streetlamps, and the city still felt half-asleep—quiet, cautious. Alex stood at the entrance to Mabel’s apartment building, his dark coat hanging heavily from his shoulders, saturated from the walk. His hair was slicked back with water, the ends dripping down his collar, but he hardly noticed.His thoughts had been spinning all night—thoughts of Clara, of Richard, of the lies he had helped perpetuate, whether by silence or inaction. For the first time in years, he felt something close to clarity. But clarity didn’t equal absolution. And it certainly didn’t guarantee forgiveness.He pressed the buzzer.Seconds dragged.Then a voice crackled through the intercom, sharp and guarded.“What do you want, Alex?” Mabel’s tone was clipped, her protectiveness unmistakable.He closed his eyes for a beat bef

Chapter 118 – Cracks in the EmpireThe dimly lit room felt colder than usual, shadows dancing around Richard Banks as he pored over his scattered collection of financial reports on the table. The late hour curled around him like a shroud, and he could sense it—the tension in his son Alex's demeanor, the silence that lingered between them since the family tragedy. Richard's heart raced as unease clawed at him. The boy was pulling away, slowly siphoning off the blind loyalty that had once existed—the loyalty he had counted on.Richard's empire had been built with calculated cruelty, a fortress of deception established in cunning midnight deals. Now, he felt the ground beneath him shift. He needed a contingency plan, a means of erasing the trails leading back to his darker dealings. With a swift motion, he reached for his encrypted laptop, fingers trembling as he navigated through transactions, accounts, and people whose names he had long forgotten—people with loose tongues and wanderin

Chapter 117 – Shelter and StormsThe rain had started as a drizzle.Now, it poured like a punishment from the sky, washing over the city in heavy, rhythmic sheets that mirrored Clara’s inner chaos. Drops slid down the taxi windows like tears she hadn’t let fall. The city lights outside blurred into ribbons of color—red brake lights, amber streetlamps, flashes of blue and white from neon signs. Everything was a smear of motion. A world that refused to stop spinning, even though hers had ground to a painful halt.Clara leaned her forehead against the glass, arms wrapped tightly around herself as the cab weaved through the streets. Her clothes were still damp from the short walk outside the penthouse. She hadn’t brought an umbrella. She hadn’t thought she’d need one. She hadn’t thought she’d need anything—not another place to sleep, not another version of reality where Alex Banks was just another man who let her down.But here she was.Homeless in heart, and once again in motion with no

Chapter 116 – The ConfrontationThe night was quiet.Too quiet.The kind of silence that rang in the ears, hollow and haunting. Clara stood outside Mabel’s apartment building for what felt like an eternity before finally turning back. Her skin prickled from the cold, but it wasn’t the wind that left her chilled—it was the emptiness, the betrayal, and the echoes of Alex’s voice begging her not to go.She hadn’t replied.She couldn’t.She had walked away with tears stinging her eyes, pride holding her upright.But pride didn’t keep you warm at night.It didn’t steady your heartbeat when everything familiar began to collapse.She hadn’t slept at Mabel’s. Hadn’t even made it up the stairs. She sat in the stairwell for hours, curled up in a coat that smelled like his cologne, trying to gather the courage to breathe again. But the rage didn’t fade.The ache didn’t dim.And by dawn, Clara realized something frighteningly clear—she couldn’t move on until she confronted him.Not with quiet fur

Chapter 115 – Shattered LoyaltyThe sky was leaden when Clara stepped outside, but she didn’t feel the cold. Her coat hung open, her boots clicked against the pavement, her hands trembling as if her body couldn’t contain the fury roaring through her veins.Everything felt unreal.The air.The ground.Even the sky, smeared in bruised purples and stormy blues, seemed to mourn with her.Clara stumbled down the street like a woman fleeing a wreckage, trying to breathe through the shrapnel lodged in her chest. Her vision blurred, and she didn’t know if it was from the wind or the tears, but none of it mattered.She just needed to get away.From the penthouse.From him.From the truth that had shattered everything she believed about her past—and her future.She texted Avi on impulse.> Can we meet? Please.The reply came almost instantly.> Always. The café near the park?> On my way.Clara barely remembered the walk. She cut through traffic without looking, crossed streets on muscle memory

Chapter 114 – Truth UnearthedThe morning arrived quietly, but Clara awoke with a storm beneath her skin.Her dreams had been jagged and unkind, flashes of her parents, of the crash, of a man with a blurred face. She sat upright in bed, heart pounding, a weight pressing against her chest like a warning. Something wasn’t right. Something was missing.She glanced at the other side of the bed. Alex wasn’t there.The apartment was silent.Wrapping herself in a robe, she padded barefoot through the penthouse. Her mind was clouded with the cryptic words her aunt had shared the day before: “They were going to expose someone—someone powerful. The name they whispered was R.B.”Clara had tried to shake it off, to rest, but the gnawing feeling that she was on the edge of something devastating refused to let her go.She stepped into the kitchen and poured herself a cup of coffee, her fingers trembling slightly. She picked up her phone and dialed the investigator.He picked up on the first ring.“

Chapter 113 – Blood and PowerThe Banks estate loomed like a fortress, bathed in cold moonlight. Alex hadn't been here since the funeral of his mother—a memory wrapped in silence and suffocating black. But tonight, it wasn't grief that brought him back. It was rage. And betrayal.He didn’t knock. The butler stepped back instinctively when he stormed through the front doors, his jaw tight and hands clenched into fists.“Where is he?” Alex growled.“Sir Richard is in the study,” the butler stammered. “Shall I—”“No.”He took the stairs two at a time, his footsteps echoing like a war drum through the marble halls. The doors to the study were closed, but that didn’t stop him. He shoved them open and found Richard Banks seated by the fireplace, a glass of brandy in hand, as if the night were ordinary. As if lives hadn’t been destroyed.“You’ve finally grown a spine,” Richard said without looking up. “Scotch?”“You son of a—” Alex’s voice cracked with fury. He strode across the room and sla
