After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company Chapter 243
Sophia’s POVFire.It should have swallowed her.The blast had torn through the crypt like hell waking up. Concrete crumbled. Metal twisted. Smoke thick as hands clawed at every breath.But Eve walked through it.Unburned. Unbothered. Unstoppable.She looked at me the way a god looks at something beneath notice.A tilt of her head. A flick of her gaze.And then that soft, terrifying smile.“Hello again, Mother.”Her voice hadn’t changed. Still that eerie calm, like silk stretched over blades.Behind her, the others followed. Girls with blank faces, eyes glowing faintly in the dark. Wires threading their skin like veins. Children made from science, stitched together with cruelty and code.Not human.But not machines either.Somewhere in between.Somewhere worse.Alex pulled me behind him, weapon raised.“You said this place would kill them,” he hissed at Caleb’s brother.“It should have,” the man said, backing toward the emergency hatch. “It killed everything else.”“Not them,” I said,

Sophia’s POVThe sky broke open as we drove.Rain fell in sheets, thick enough to blur the road, thick enough to hide the horizon. I didn’t know if it was dawn or dusk anymore. Time had lost all shape somewhere between the crypt and the truth.Alex didn’t slow down.Neither did the storm.Neither did my fear.“They’re not human,” Lena said from the back seat, her voice thin, cracking. “Whatever Caleb did… those things aren’t human.”“They’re enough,” I whispered. “Enough to bleed. Enough to kill.”Enough to destroy everything I had left if we didn’t move faster.Alex’s hands tightened on the wheel. “Safehouse is compromised. Crypt’s a nest. We need a new play.”“You have one?” Lena asked.“Yeah,” he said grimly. “Burn everything and pray it’s enough.”I said nothing.Because praying hadn’t worked for me in a long time.Not since Caleb. Not since the day I realized family wasn’t blood, wasn’t trust—it was a knife pressed quiet beneath your ribs, waiting for the right moment to twist.A

Sophia’s POVFear had no place here anymore.I’d burned through my last reserves of terror somewhere between Madrid and Site Eleven, somewhere between Nyx’s dead eyes and the echo of my brother’s laughter. Now there was only purpose. Ruthless, singular purpose.And Alex.And my girls.The drive west was merciless. The roads weren’t roads anymore—just broken veins threading through a ruined countryside. Trees clawed at the Jeep, branches snapping like brittle bones against the windows. The engine groaned beneath us, but Alex didn’t slow.Neither did I.My hand stayed tight on the pistol resting in my lap. Every mile closer to Caleb’s sanctuary made my pulse spike higher, my skin itch hotter.Because I could feel it now—under my ribs, beneath my scarred skin.This wasn’t about Nyx anymore.It never had been.“Tell me again what you saw,” Alex said, voice sharp against the wind battering through the broken window.I didn’t hesitate.“She had Lina’s face. Younger. But hers.” My throat clo

Sophia’s POVI should have known it wasn’t over.Hope is a dangerous habit, especially for people like me.The wind outside the bunker screamed like something alive. Metal strained beneath its weight, groaning with every gust as though the storm wanted inside. I sat with my back against the cold wall, knees drawn up, watching Alex patch Lena’s shoulder.He didn’t say much. Neither did I.Words felt too heavy now.Liana was asleep, curled into Lina’s side, both of them bundled beneath threadbare blankets like children hiding from the end of the world. I envied them.“What happens now?” Lena’s voice broke the silence.Alex tied off the bandage with more force than necessary. “We move at first light.”“To where?”He didn’t answer. He just looked at me.I met his gaze and understood.There was nowhere left.Damian was gone. His men scattered or dead. Site Eleven buried beneath fire and ash. Madrid nothing but a ghost signal lost to static.But I couldn’t shake the feeling we’d missed some

Sophia’s POVThere are silences that soothe.There are silences that scream.The one wrapping itself around this place was the latter.I could feel it sinking into my skin like frostbite.Like the moment before a heart flatlines.We hadn’t slept.Not really.The girls were curled on the narrow cots, Lina cradling Liana like she could shield her from everything we’d dragged them through. Lena sat against the far wall, rifle across her knees, blood still drying on her temple.Alex was pacing.That was never a good sign.“We can’t stay here,” he said finally, low but sharp enough to cut through the quiet. “You know that.”“I know.”He stopped in front of me. His hands braced on the table, knuckles white. “Then tell me what the hell we’re waiting for.”I didn’t answer right away.Because the truth wasn’t something I could say out loud.The truth was… I wasn’t sure we could outrun this anymore.Not when I could still feel her.The other me.Wearing my face.Moving with my instincts.Thinki

Sophia’s POVThe scream woke me before dawn.Not Lina’s this time. Not Liana’s.Mine.The echo of it still burned in my throat when Alex grabbed me, shaking me hard enough to snap the nightmare’s grip. His eyes were wide, frantic, searching my face like he expected to see blood pouring from my mouth.“You’re safe,” he said. “You’re here. With me.”But I didn’t feel safe. I didn’t feel here.In the dream, it wasn’t me beneath Site Eleven.It was something wearing my skin. And this time… she wasn’t locked behind glass.“She’s coming for us,” I whispered. “The other one. The real one.”Alex’s jaw tightened. “Let her come.”“She doesn’t want me dead.”“Then what does she want?”I swallowed hard. “She wants the girls.”We didn’t speak after that. Not as we packed what little we had left. Not as we loaded Lina and Liana into the Jeep again. Not as Torres barked out new coordinates over the burner phone, voice sharp with fear he couldn’t quite hide.“There’s a place,” he said. “Off-grid. Old
