Sophia’s POV

The courthouse was quiet, almost unnaturally so for a Monday morning. I sat on the marble bench outside the judge’s chambers, hands clasped in my lap, one knee bouncing involuntarily. My lawyer, Mark, sat beside me, his tablet glowing with documents he had already memorized twice. I should have felt calm, we had won. Nathan might have gotten visitation, but I had custody.

Lina was finally safe.

Still, I couldn’t shake the weight pressing down on my chest because something was wrong.

The night before, I’d felt it…………. A shift, like the air had thickened, like we’d moved from chess into something darker, something dangerous and I knew that feeling—had felt it before in boardrooms and backrooms, when Nathan’s temper was more blade than bark.

I thought he would retaliate through legal channels. Money, influence, another endless custody hearing but this… this silence wasn’t his usual move, it was too quiet and Nathan Carter was never quiet unless he was hunting.

  • After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company    Chapter 171

    Sophia’s POVI stood in the doorway long after Alex drove off, arms still folded, body tense, and heart aching. The rumble of the car faded into the distance, leaving only the patter of rain and the hollow silence of our home.He didn’t trust me.Or worse—he thought I was too blinded to see the truth. That I couldn’t tell when Nathan was manipulating me.But I wasn’t the same woman I used to be. Not the one who flinched at confrontation or who let men in suits dictate the course of her life. I had changed, survived, fought and I was still fighting, even if Alex couldn’t see it yet.I turned away from the door, walking back inside, my footsteps echoing through the house like accusations. My fingers curled tighter around the flash drive, as if holding it tightly might keep the truth from slipping away. I sat down at the dining table, staring at it likewas a ticking bomb.Because maybe it was.My laptop was already open from earlier. I slid the drive in again and brought up the files, s

    Alex Pov “Oh my goodness, Sophia! I was gone for one day and you let that damn snake into the house?” I yelled, not angry at her but at Nathan who had mysteriously tricked her into letting him inside our house. I looked at Sophia and she looked sad at the way I spoke. I let out a sigh and walked up to her and pulled her in for a hug.“I’m sorry.” I said to her and she nodded her head still in my embrace. This was still very strange. I pulled her out as I looked into her eyes with hope that she understands me. “Don't do that again, please. He could have killed you, Soph.” I said in low tune as I tried not to direct my anger towards her.“I won't. I'm sorry.” she said and I looked at her with a faint smile but my mind was buzzing. “So, what was so important that brought the king out of his mansion.” I asked her, as her eyes widened.She disentangled herself from me and walked out the table, picking up a flash drive, “this.” She said and I gave her a questioning look.“Let me explain.

  • After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company    Chapter 169

    Nathan’s POVThe rain hadn’t stopped, not since the moment I’d left Sophia’s apartment. It beat against the windows of the black car I sat in like a metronome—steady, relentless, cold. We were parked three blocks away from her building. I could still see the faint outline of her unit, the light in the living room burning like a warning flare.Across from me sat Evans, my attorney—though that word hardly did him justice. Evans wasn’t just a lawyer; he was my cleaner, my fixer, and when needed, my cleaner, my fixer, and when needed, my accomplice. He was also the only person who knew what I was really doing tonight.Evans glanced at the flash drive I’d placed between us on the seat. It was a twin of the one I’d shown Sophia—identical casing, same weight, same subtle scratch across the edge that gave it the appearance of wear but unlike the real drive, this one was a decoy."You gave it to her?” Mark asked, voice low.I nodded, keeping my gaze on the light in Sophia’s window. “She opene

  • After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company    Chapter 168

    Sophia’s POVThe air between us thickened, silent but electric. I stared at the flash drive in Nathan’s hand through the grainy lens of the security screen. Rainwater dripped from his sleeves, his breath fogging slightly in the corridor light. He looked like a man on the edge, but then again—he always did when he wanted something.“Kira’s gone?” I repeated, my voice tight, my mind scrambling to make sense of it.He didn’t answer immediately, just stared at the camera like it was my face he wanted to see. Then, finally, a slow nod."She’s missing,” he said, quieter this time. “I don’t know what happened to her.”“Bullshit.” I didn’t even try to soften it. “You knew she had the drive. You were watching her, probably tailing her and now, conveniently, she disappears, and you show up here with this?”Nathan’s jaw clenched. He stepped closer to the door, rainwater pooling at his feet. “If I wanted to hurt her, I wouldn’t be standing here. I’d be somewhere far away, making sure you never s

  • After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company    Chapter 166

    Nathan’s povI ended the call and sat back in my chair, fists clenched, jaw tight. The bastard on the other endwas already moving—I knew he would. That’s what I paid him for; he was silent, efficient, andloyal only to money. He didn’t ask questions, he just needed names and Kira’s name was at thetop of the list now.My office felt smaller somehow. The walls are too close. Her scent lingered—expensive perfumemixed with venom. I slammed my fist down on the desk, a jolt of pain flashing through myknuckles. I welcomed it. I needed the distraction, anything to keep my mind from spiraling.Kira knew something. No, not something, she knew everything.And that terrified me.For the past few years, I’d worked too damn hard to bury the truth—blood, lies, and betrayal. Allswept under the rug. I made deals in backrooms, forged signatures, and rewrote companyhistories. No one was supposed to find out that Alex and Sophia were the true heirs. No onewas supposed to know that I h
