After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company Chapter 291: The Edge of Truth
Sophia’s POVThe rain stung my face like needles, the wind howling across the warehouse roof as I stared into the man in the suit’s cold, predatory smile. His presence was a blade, sharp and deliberate, cutting through the chaos of the fight below. The numbers my father had drilled into me—7-4-9-2-1-8—pulsed in my mind, a rhythm that felt like a lifeline, but they meant nothing without the key to unlock them. *The stars will show you the way.* His words, a cryptic promise from a man I’d thought was gone forever, now felt like a taunt as real as the threat before me. Claire clung to my arm, her breath ragged, her eyes wide with panic, but I couldn’t move, couldn’t think past the man blocking our escape.“Who are you?” I demanded, my voice shaking but loud enough to carry over the storm. My hospital gown was soaked, clinging to my skin, and my ribs ached with every breath, but I forced myself to stand tall. Liam was still below, fighting for our lives, and I couldn’t let fear win—not no
After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company Chapter 290: Echoes of the Past
Sophia’s POVThe warehouse was a tomb of shadows, the air heavy with dust and the sharp tang of rust. The steel door we’d barricaded ourselves behind felt like a flimsy shield against the footsteps echoing from the main floor, each one a deliberate tap that mirrored the pulse hammering in my throat. The visitor’s voice slithered through the walls, that haunting tune from the hospital hallway weaving through the silence like a taunt. It wasn’t just them—I could hear other steps, lighter, quicker, a chorus of threats converging on us. My skin prickled, the damp hospital gown clinging to me like a second skin, a constant reminder of how exposed I was. Liam’s arm was around me, his knife gleaming in the dim light filtering through a cracked skylight above, but even his presence couldn’t quiet the fear clawing at my chest.Claire’s words rang in my ears: *You need a trigger. Something personal.* My father’s secret, the key everyone seemed to think I held, was buried somewhere in my mind, l
After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company Chapter 289: Chasing Secrets
Sophia’s POVThe SUV roared through the rain-slicked streets, tires screaming as the driver swerved to avoid the black car’s relentless pursuit. My heart slammed against my ribs, each beat a reminder of how close we were to losing everything. Liam’s arm was a steel band around me, pinning me to the seat as the world outside blurred into streaks of neon and shadow. The visitor’s face burned in my mind, their cold smile framed by the black car’s headlights, and beside them, the man in the suit, his presence a new kind of threat I couldn’t yet name. Claire’s words echoed louder than the engine’s growl: *It’s you, Sophia. It’s what you know.* My father. A key. A secret I didn’t even know I carried.The SUV jolted as another impact rocked the rear, metal crunching under the force. I stifled a scream, my hands gripping Liam’s jacket, the fabric damp under my fingers. Scar, in the front passenger seat, leaned out the window, his rifle barking shots into the night. The black car didn’t falter
After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company Chapter 288: Fractured Trust
Sophia’s POVThe alley was a graveyard of smoke and debris, the air thick with the acrid sting of burning metal. My ears rang, a high-pitched whine that drowned out the city’s pulse, but I could still feel Liam’s arms around me, his body a solid wall against the chaos. His breath was hot against my neck, his heart pounding through his jacket, and for a fleeting moment, I wanted to stay there, pressed against him, where the world couldn’t touch us. But the stranger’s words—*you’re not ready for the truth*—clawed at my mind, a reminder that safety was an illusion, and trust was a luxury I couldn’t afford.“Sophia, move,” Liam urged, his voice rough but steady, pulling me to my feet. My legs wobbled, the pain in my ribs flaring with every breath, but I forced myself to stand. The hospital gown clung to my skin, soaked with rain and streaked with ash, a flimsy shield against the cold and the danger closing in. The tactical team—or what was left of it—stumbled to their feet, their gear sco
After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company Chapter 287: Shadows in the Sky
Sophia’s POVThe beep was a knife in my chest, sharp and relentless, cutting through the roar of the chopper’s blades. It wasn’t loud, but it filled the cabin like a heartbeat, steady and sinister, each pulse tightening the knot of fear in my stomach. I clutched Liam’s arm, my nails digging into his sleeve, my eyes darting around the cramped interior. The tactical team—four men in black gear, their faces half-hidden behind visors—sat rigid, their rifles braced against their knees. None of them seemed to hear it, or if they did, they didn’t react. But I felt it, a crawling certainty that whatever had started on that hospital roof wasn’t over.“Liam,” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the thrum of the engines. “Do you hear that?”His eyes snapped to mine, sharp and searching, the same look he’d had when he’d pulled me from the wreckage of that car accident weeks ago. He didn’t ask what I meant. He tilted his head, listening, and his jaw tightened, a muscle ticking under the stub
After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company Chapter 286
*Sophia’s POV*The hallway stretched before us like a tunnel into the unknown, its dim lights flickering as if struggling to stay alive. My bare feet pressed against the cold linoleum, each step sending a jolt of pain through my ribs where the bandages clung tight. Liam’s grip on my arm was the only thing anchoring me, his warmth a stark contrast to the chill seeping into my bones. The faint smear of ash on the floor pointed toward the stairwell, a silent taunt from *them*—the figure from the photograph, the shadow that had haunted my life for weeks. My heart pounded, not just from fear but from the betrayal still burning in my chest. How had I let them get so close? How had I loved someone who could do this?Liam moved like a panther, silent and lethal, his knife glinting in the low light as he scanned the hallway. “Stay close,” he murmured again, his voice a low growl that vibrated with urgency. I wanted to believe he could protect me, that his presence was enough to keep the wolves
