Nathan’s pov

This was it.

The day I get to meet my daughter again. It has been close to two years now and for some strange reason, I missed her so much. It is kind of sad that she doesn't know anything about me. I intend to change that.

As I got ready in my bedroom, I looked around to see that chole had packed out most of her stuff to the guest bedroom. I let out a sigh. That's one thing I needed to fix and fast.

I pulled my shirt over my head, combed my hair as I check myself out in the mirror. I was as handsome as ever and I knew that it wouldn't take long for chole to be caught up in my charms. I checked the time and I still had an hour before Sophia and Lina arrived.

I walked out of my room, straight to the guest room where Chloe was staying. When I got there, I knocked on the door. I heard a muffling sound, then she whispered a coming.

I opened the door to see her laid down in bed, she was facing the other side and I could tell that she was trying to get some sleep.

    Sophia’s pov We drove back in complete silence. Today, I got to see a side of Nathan I hadn't seen before. The way he played with Lina made me feel something—pity. Maybe he needed to be with his daughter and would not be a bad parent but how can a horrible person be a good parent or a good example to his child. “Mummy?” I heard Lina’s voiceI turned my attention towards her, “yes baby, is something wrong?”“No, I just wanted to know if I can go back to meet my new daddy?”I paused at the question, she was already calling him new daddy and wanted to stay with him. This was bad. “Hmmm, darling, you will be back there by tomorrow and you will stay with him for two nights , do you like that?” I gave a slight nod, “yayyyyyyyyyyyy, I do like it mummy. You are the best. I can't wait to tell daddy about all the things I did with my new daddy today.”**********************************************The door to the living room shut close, Alex was in the living room sitting on a couch watc

  • After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company    Chapter 162

    Nathan’s POVAs the maid walked away, I just stood there for a moment, caught between two very different worlds—Chloe laid seductively on the bed, wet and waiting… and my daughter, Lina, probably sitting on the couch downstairs wondering who I was.I rubbed a hand across my face and swore under my breath.“Chloe,” I said, my voice strained, “this isn’t over but I have to go.”She paused, her fingers hovering, lips parted. Her expression flickered between desire and disappointment. “You’re choosing her?”“I’m choosing to be a father.” The words felt foreign on my tongue, like I was trying out a new identity I hadn’t fully earned yet but I meant them.Chloe didn’t say anything else. She simply rolled over, turning her back to me.I straightened my shirt, zipped my pants, and left the room without looking back.As I made my way down the stairs, my palms were sweating. I had faced off against boardroom vultures, courtroom assassins, and the media wolves, but this? This was personal. This

    Sophia’s POVThe courtroom felt colder than usual.Maybe it was the marble floors or the grey, lifeless walls, but something about the air screamed finality. The kind of silence that came just before something cracked. I sat there, hands clenched into the fabric of my skirt, as the judge prepared to read the verdict.Alex’s fingers wrapped around mine, grounding me. Julian stood behind us, arms crossed, jaw clenched tight. Mark whispered something under his breath, but my ears were ringing too loud to catch it.I barely heard the gavel come down.“In the matter of custody between Mr. Nathan Carter and Miss Sophia Carter,” Judge Adian Joe began, his tone grave, unreadable, “the court has considered the arguments, the evidence submitted, and the best interests of the child. It is the decision of this court to grant joint custody.”My heart skipped.The words didn’t process immediately. It was like they floated in the air, foreign and detached, not meant for me.Nathan didn’t flinch. Of

  • After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company    Chapter 159

    Sophia’s povWhat the fuck just happened, one minute I was cuddled up with alex, the next I was in nathan’s house because I receviced a distress call from chole, that Nathan had put his hands on her. I was confused and stressed and even if I am very much not close to my sister, she was my sister and no one was going to put his filthy hands on her. I was also confused because Nathan had never been the type to actually hit women—kill, yes, but hit them, NAH.I drove back in complete silence.I got back to Alex who was waiting for me on the porch, I stopped the car and walked out to go meet him.“What the hell is going on?” he asked with a worried look, as he drew me into a hug, “ are you fine? Did Nathan do anything to you? What about your sister, is she fine?”I snuggled into his embrace, “yes babe, she is fine. Nathan is acting out of his normal self.”Alex pulled me out and gave me a look,”the same Nathan who tried to assassinate us? You think he won't be able to put his hands on hi

  • After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company    Chapter 158

    Nathan’s POVI stood in the hallway for a long moment after I walked away from her. My hands were shaking—not from fear, but from the sheer, unrelenting storm inside me—-rage, exhaustion, disgust, not just at her, but at myself.I shouldn’t have touched her.No matter what she said about my daughter, no matter how much venom laced her words—I should’ve walked away but the moment she called my daughter lame, something in me snapped.Lina.That little girl had survived so much in such a short time. She had Sophia’s fire and my stubbornness, and more heart than most adults I knew and Chole… Chole knew how much Lina meant to me. She knew everything. That was what made her words so unforgivable.I walked into my bedroom and slammed the door behind me. The silence hit me like a wave, loud and accusing. I stared at the empty bed and then at my reflection in the mirror. My jaw was clenched tight, eyes still carrying the trace of fury.What the hell was I doing?My life had become a goddamn ci
