Power. Control.

For as long as I could remember, these were the only two things that mattered to me. And now, they were running away from me. No, not running—being ripped from me, strand by strand, by the one person I never imagined capable of outwitting me.

Sophia.

She had played me. Set the perfect trap, offered me just enough to think I'd gained the advantage. I'd marched in, arrogant, believing that what I'd stolen from her would be my salvation. That it would be my weapon to bring her down for good.

But I should have known better.

I grind my teeth, my fists clenched as I sat in the darkened penthouse, Vince pacing in front of me.

"She sent you up," Vince snarled, anger mixed with frustration. "That information was not leaked by mistake. She wanted you to find out.".

I gritted my teeth, my nails digging into my temple. The realization burned itself into my mind. Sophia wasn't replaying on my actions—she was controlling them.

  • After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company    Chapter 257

    Sophia’s POVThe world around me blurred into a rush of color and noise as the car sped along the highway. My fingers curled into the leather seat, nails digging into my palm as I struggled to breathe past the lump in my throat. Roman hadn’t said a word since we left the villa, but his grip on the steering wheel was tight enough that his knuckles had turned white.He was angry.And hurt.And I didn’t blame him.But what could I say to make this right?How could I explain that everything I did—every lie I told—was out of love?I turned my head to look at him. His jaw was tight, and a nerve twitched in his cheek. He hadn’t even looked at me. Not once. It was as if I’d become invisible. And maybe… maybe I deserved that. Still, it didn’t stop the ache inside me.“Roman,” I whispered, but he didn’t respond.The silence stretched on, thick and suffocating. I felt like I was drowning in it, in the weight of everything we hadn’t said. So I tried again.“I didn’t mean for things to get this f

  • After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company    Chapter 256

    POV: SophiaThe morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a golden hue across the polished marble floor of Roman's penthouse. I stirred awake, still in his arms, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat soothing against my back. The events of the previous night lingered in my thoughts—our confessions, the vulnerability we shared, the tears that fell without shame.For the first time in what felt like ages, I woke up without the weight of secrets pressing down on my chest. I turned slowly, careful not to wake Roman. His face was peaceful, and a soft smile curled at the corners of his lips, as if he were dreaming something sweet. Maybe of us. Maybe of a world where love didn’t come with a cost.I tiptoed out of bed, pulling his shirt over my body. It was oversized and smelled like him—clean soap, warm spice, and something uniquely Roman. I wandered into the kitchen and began making coffee, trying to ignore the nervous flutter in my stomach. Today, I needed to confront my past. Not fo

    The lights from the gala still shimmered in the distance behind them, but Roman's world had narrowed down to just the two people standing before him—Jenner and Steve. His best friend. His… brother. And the woman who had unknowingly unraveled everything he thought he knew about love and loyalty.Jenner’s eyes darted between both men, her chest rising and falling rapidly, her hands clenched at her sides. She’d never imagined this moment would come so soon—at least not like this, with emotions spiraling out of control and truths beginning to poke through fragile surfaces.“Jenner…” Steve began, his voice gentle but firm, “you don’t have to stand there like a prisoner in your own story. Speak up. Tell him.”Roman turned to her. “Tell me what?”Jenner opened her mouth, but no sound came out. What could she say that wouldn’t break both of them in half?Steve exhaled, stepping back as though giving her room to breathe. “She didn’t mean for things to get this complicated, Roman. None of us di

    Sophia’s POVHome.That word cut through me sharper than any blade could.Not because it was true.But because it wasn’t.“I’m not yours,” I said, forcing steel into my voice. “And this place was never home.”Nyx tilted her head. That eerie, almost childlike curiosity bled through her expression again. “Aren’t you, though? Aren’t we the same? Made from the same ruin. Built to break the same world?”“No.”I stepped forward. Lena’s hand shot out to stop me, but I brushed past her.Not reckless. Not this time. Calculated.If Nyx wanted me alive, she wouldn’t kill me now. Not until she had what she thought she needed.“You’re what they made.” My voice stayed low, measured. “I’m what survived.”She smiled. “Survival’s a funny thing. It makes you think you’re free.”The girl behind her—the one they’d called sister, the one who’d whispered in the dark—watched us with hollow eyes. Her pulse blinked green on the monitors spliced into her skin. I recognized the tech. Old Echo code layered with

    Sophia’s POVThe beacon in the dark pulsed again.Once. Twice.Like a heartbeat.Like mine.“Time to come home, sister.”The words curled in the night like smoke, wrapping around my ribs, tightening until I couldn’t breathe.I didn’t recognize the voice. But I knew it.Somewhere beneath the layers of who I was, beneath the wreckage of memory and the codes they buried beneath my skin, I knew it.Alex pulled me back, slow, steady. His hand on my arm the only thing anchoring me to now.“Inside,” he said.Not a suggestion. A command.I obeyed.The girls were upstairs. I heard the soft creak of footsteps, the quiet murmur of Lina soothing Liana back to sleep. They didn’t know the danger creeping closer. Not yet.They couldn’t know.Because if they did…They’d see the truth written all over my face.Inside the living room, Lena paced. Sharp, restless energy coiled in her shoulders. A gun in one hand, her blade still wet in the other.“She’s not done,” Lena said. “She’s not even started.”“S

    Sophia’s POVHer words echoed long after she spoke them.You should run.But there was no running anymore.Not for me.Not for Alex.Not for the girls sleeping upstairs, safe only because I hadn’t let them see the worst of the world yet.She stood there, small, slight, a silhouette torn out of something worse than nightmares. The wind didn’t touch her. The cold didn’t bite her. Her eyes were too old for her face, and too knowing for her age.“What’s your name?” I asked.Because I needed to call her something besides the fear rising in my throat.She tilted her head again, like a machine parsing new input. “They called me Zero-Two.”Her lips curled, not quite a smile. “But you can call me… sister.”Ice slid down my spine. “You’re lying.”“Am I?” she asked sweetly. “You think Project Echo only made one mistake?”The house creaked behind me. I could feel Alex’s presence like a shadow pressed against my back, hovering, waiting. His gun was already in his hand—I knew him well enough not to
