The Rivera family home hadn't felt this alive in a long time.

Laughter echoed through the dining room while the clinking of cutlery and glasses filled the air.

For once, the tension that had haunted the house for weeks seemed distant.

Marcus, Sofia, and Elena sat around the table, talking about anything that wasn't investigations, arrests, or conspiracies.

"So let me get this straight," Sofia began, pointing her fork at Elena. "I spent the entire night researching, nearly sacrificed my eyesight

  • Back To My Billionaire Ex    Chapter 22 - More Than a Summit

    A few days had passed since Richard's episode at the hospital.His recovery had been slow but steady, and under strict instructions from Jacob, any discussion about the past had been postponed indefinitely.Life, however, refused to pause.Business meetings resumed.Deadlines returned.And so did the endless exchanges between Elena and Adrian whenever Rivera Corporation and Vale Industries crossed paths.The Annual Business World Summit had finally arrived.One of the most anticipated events of the year.Executives, investors, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders from across the country were expected to attend.Elena glanced at the time on her laptop before shutting it closed.She was already running late.Grabbing her bag, she hurried out of her office and headed for the elevator.The doors slid open.She stopped.Adrian stood inside.The sleeves of his white dress shirt were rolled neatly to his forearms. His suit jacket rested over one arm, and judging by his appearance, he was nowh

    Richard held Elena's gaze.The room felt unusually quiet.Neither of them spoke.Elena sat at the edge of her chair, waiting.Questions.Doubts.Secrets.All of it seemed to have led to this moment.Richard took a slow breath."I suppose I should start from the beginning."Just as the words left his mouth, a knock sounded on the door.The handle turned.A doctor stepped into the room accompanied by a nurse.The doctor's expression immediately shifted when he noticed Richard sitting upright."Mr. Rivera, you're awake."Richard sighed heavily.The doctor walked over and began checking the monitor beside the bed."You shouldn't be exerting yourself yet," he said. "Your condition is stable, but you've only just regained consciousness.""I'm fine," Richard replied.The doctor ignored him and turned to Elena."Try not to keep him engaged in lengthy conversations. He needs rest."Elena opened her mouth to respond, but Richard spoke first."I've spent enough time resting."The firmness in his

    The interrogation room smelled of stale coffee and cold tension.Edward Coleman sat rigidly in his chair, his hands resting on the metal table as he watched the detective across from him.The detective took a slow sip from his coffee while flipping through the documents before him."Edward Coleman," he said, glancing up. "Funny thing. I know another Edward Coleman."He chuckled."Just got off the phone with him this morning. Nice guy. Pilot. Loves talking about airplanes."Edward remained silent.The detective's smile slowly faded.He set down the coffee cup."Let's stop wasting time."The atmosphere in the room shifted instantly."I'm going to ask you a few questions. It would be in your best interest to cooperate."He leaned back in his chair."You know the drill. Anything you say can and will be used against you in court."Edward's expression didn't change.The detective folded his hands."Why did you authorize temporary elevated access that was later used to compromise Vale Indust

    Elena stepped into her office and immediately spotted Adrian standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.One hand rested in his pocket while the other lightly touched the glass as he stared at the city below."What are you doing here?" she asked."Nice view," he replied, ignoring her question as he gestured toward the window.Elena rolled her eyes and placed her bag on the desk before turning to face him."You know, Mr. Vale, you're becoming increasingly difficult to tolerate.""Really?" he asked, feigning surprise.A flicker of irritation crossed her face."You've been getting on my nerves too, don't you think?" he countered as he wandered toward the bookshelf in the corner."How exactly? I barely contact you.""And that's part of the problem."He turned to face her.Elena let out a dry laugh."Oh, so there are multiple problems now?"Adrian ignored the sarcasm."If I remember correctly, I own a significant share of this company. When major decisions are made, I should be informed.""So

    The Rivera family home hadn't felt this alive in a long time.Laughter echoed through the dining room while the clinking of cutlery and glasses filled the air.For once, the tension that had haunted the house for weeks seemed distant.Marcus, Sofia, and Elena sat around the table, talking about anything that wasn't investigations, arrests, or conspiracies."So let me get this straight," Sofia began, pointing her fork at Elena. "I spent the entire night researching, nearly sacrificed my eyesight, performed a victory dance after finding those leads, called you all excited..."She paused dramatically."And you answered with the emotional warmth of a refrigerator."Marcus burst out laughing."See? Finally someone understands my suffering,” he said."Thank you!" Sofia exclaimed, pointing at him. "I've found my people.""I'm glad you're here to share the experience," Marcus said. "I've been dealing with that attitude for years."Elena rolled her eyes."Excuse me, I was in the middle of a cr

    The boardroom fell silent the moment Elena Rivera entered.No one rose to greet her.No one offered condolences for the fire.No one mentioned Marcus.The atmosphere was too tense for formalities.News of the executive floor fire had dominated every headline since dawn. Investors were panicking. The media was circling Rivera Corporation like vultures. And Marcus Rivera remained in police custody.Yet Elena walked into the room without hesitation.Without fear.Without uncertainty.She placed a folder on the conference table and took her seat at the head of it.Several executives exchanged uneasy glances.They had expected exhaustion.Perhaps even desperation.Instead, the woman before them looked focused.Dangerously focused."Let's begin," Elena said.One board member cleared his throat."Ms. Rivera, before we proceed, I believe we should address the growing concerns regarding the company's public image—""No."The interruption stunned the room.The executive blinked."Excuse me?""I

    Sophie stormed into Adrian’s office, her face flushed with anger.“Oh no,” Daniel muttered under his breath, already fearing what she had found out.“Tell me it’s not true,” she demanded, trying to steady her breathing as she shoved her phone toward Adrian. “Tell me you didn’t save that snake and h
