After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company Chapter 173
Alex povI stood frozen in Nathan’s office, the silence around me louder than his last smug words. My hands trembled, not with fear—but fury and beneath that rage, something colder lurked.Doubt.He got to me. That bastard knew exactly which buttons to press. He’d said just enough to plant a question I didn’t want to ask myself.What if he wasn’t lying?I turned toward the desk, the glass surface still vibrating faintly from where I’d slammed it. The scent of cheap perfume still lingered in the air—his idea of professionalism, apparently. I didn’t come here for answers, I came to make a statement, to draw a line but Nathan… Nathan played his games with a surgeon’s precision and the most dangerous thing about him wasn’t his lies.It was the truth he buried underneath them.I left the office without another word. My footsteps echoed through the empty hallway. Every step I took away from the smug son of a bitch left a piece of my certainty behind.By the time I reached the car, my phone

Alex Pov As I drove my car through the street at a furious pace, the anger in me kept swelling. Nathan is not going to be happy with what I would do to him and I won't wait till I see him on a mutual ground, I am going to go to the lion’s den. I got to the company and wasted no time. I got down and walked in through the back elevator. This was only used by important staff and being part of the stupid board, I was important. As the elevator took me up to his office my phone rang. I looked at the caller id to see that it was Sophia. I tried to calm down and hope she is calm and could listen to reason. I picked up the call, “hey, babe.”“Alex? Where are you?” She asked, sounding genuinely confused.“Hmmm, I'm at the company.”“what? Why? Do not tell me you wanted to go harass Nathan for telling us the truth?’”My fist clenched hearing her defend that liar, “I have to go, Sophia. I will talk to you later.”“Wait! Don't end the call. The house was attacked” she voiced out and my heart

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.

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

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
