Emily Carter has finally broken free from the suffocating grasp of her billionaire ex-husband, Daniel Blackwood. Rebuilding her life from the ground up, Emily now runs a thriving tech startup in New York City, determined to succeed on her own terms. But as she starts to enjoy her newfound independence, Daniel's shadow looms large. Despite his charm and charisma, Daniel is a master manipulator, and he’s not ready to let Emily go. When his empire begins to crumble, he reemerges with a dangerous plan to reclaim his lost power—and Emily's heart. As Daniel's schemes grow more sinister, Emily finds herself caught in a web of deceit, betrayal, and dangerous power plays. With the support of her loyal best friend, Sam Brooks, and a rival entrepreneur who might just be more than he seems, Emily faces off against the man who once had everything under control. As secrets unravel and hidden agendas come to light, Emily must navigate a world where every ally could be a foe and every choice could lead to disaster. In a high-stakes battle of wits and will, Emily must decide whether to cut the cord entirely or find a way to reclaim her freedom and her future.

CUTTING THE CORD: my ex-husband regret Chapter 117:Caught In The Trap
The blaring alarms were deafening, piercing through the walls as the heavy metal doors around me slammed shut with finality. I had seconds to make my escape, but every route was blocked, leaving only a narrow path through the shadows—a corridor that seemed as if it led deeper into the building. The sound of footsteps echoed from behind, rapid and closing in. Dominic’s cold laughter lingered in my mind, a dark reminder of the trap they’d set for me. I couldn’t afford to falter now. The adrenaline kicked in, fueling every step as I darted forward, the stale, oppressive air thickening as I moved deeper down the corridor. Shadows stretched across the walls, twisting and turning as I dashed through. I tried to suppress the gnawing fear in my chest. They had to be onto me; they had seen through my facade. Every turn seemed designed to mislead, winding me farther from the safety of the exit, and just as I thought I’d reached a dead end, I saw it—a door left ajar, the faintest line of light

The message on my phone burned into my mind, a chilling reminder of the choice I faced. I knew what I had to do. My resolve was steeled, but it wasn’t going to be enough to just oppose them. If I wanted to take them down, I would need to move cautiously and deceive them just as they’d been deceiving me all along.The idea made my skin crawl, but if playing their game was the only way to gather the evidence I needed, then so be it. I would pretend to join their twisted world, all the while gathering the ammunition to tear it apart from within.The high-profile gala buzzed with energy and power. The room was filled with the city’s elite, influential figures who kept the wheels of wealth and influence turning. The conspiracy had chosen well; events like this one allowed them to hide in plain sight, moving like shadows among those who thought they ruled the world. I could feel the weight of their eyes on me as I entered, a calculated smile on my face as I mingled, feigning interest in idl

I sat in the quiet darkness of my apartment, Natalie’s words still ringing in my ears. The silence felt oppressive, a stark contrast to the storm raging within me. Her offer had lingered long after the call ended, haunting me with its twisted logic. Join the conspiracy. Work from the inside. Gain the power to actually make a difference. For someone like Natalie, it was simple, practical—a means to an end, detached from any trace of morality.For me, though, it was so much more complicated. I knew the devastation this organization was capable of, the ways it thrived on manipulation, fear, and outright destruction. The idea of joining them felt like betraying everything I’d fought to protect, every value that had brought me here. But as I leaned back, a darker thought crept in, one I couldn’t quite shake: What if Natalie was right? What if I was going about this all wrong? From the outside, I was just one person fighting a behemoth with endless resources. Maybe… maybe I could use those

I sat alone, turning the keycard over in my hands, the symbol etched into its surface now seared into my mind. Natalie—my sister, the person I’d trusted above all others—was the leader of the very conspiracy I’d dedicated my life to bringing down. Each realization tightened the ache in my chest, transforming disbelief into seething anger.How many times had she looked me in the eye, calmly listening to my theories, my fears? How many times had she feigned support, all while orchestrating everything from behind the scenes? I squeezed the keycard, its sharp edges pressing into my palm, grounding me in the raw pain of betrayal.As I replayed every interaction, every seemingly innocent gesture, a new layer of betrayal settled over me. It felt like Natalie had taken my life, turned it inside out, and reassembled it for her own twisted purposes. The depth of it left me breathless, a dizzying realization of just how profoundly I’d been deceived.I took a steadying breath, trying to find clar

The explosion echoed in my ears as I stumbled, forcing my mind to regain focus amid the chaos. Dust hung in the air, coating every surface, but it was the shadow standing at the edge of the dimly lit room that caught my attention.She stepped forward, her face emerging from the shadows, and my heart twisted.“Natalie?” I whispered, disbelief tightening my throat.My sister’s gaze met mine with an unsettling calm, the cold, unyielding look of someone who’d made peace with betrayal long ago. “Hello, Emily,” she replied, her voice smooth, detached, and entirely too confident. “I knew you’d get this far eventually. You’ve always been tenacious. Just… misguided.”I stared at her, a thousand memories and emotions surging through me at once. “Misguided?” I demanded, the hurt and anger in my voice sounding foreign even to my own ears. “How could you do this, Natalie? You’re my sister. Family.”She tilted her head, a faint smirk touching her lips. “You still think family is sacred?” Her laugh

The darkness pressed down around us like a suffocating weight. The only light came from the faint glow of the emergency exit sign, casting eerie shadows across the room. My pulse hammered in my ears as Claire cursed under her breath and Ethan flicked his flashlight on, illuminating Lucas’s pale face. “They’ve locked us out,” Claire whispered. “The system’s down. They knew we were here.”“Of course they did.” I muttered, more to myself than anyone else. It was their game—we were just pawns on a board they controlled from the start. Ethan stepped closer, his sharp blue eyes scanning the hallway beyond the door. “We need to move. Now.”“Wait,” I said, turning to Lucas. “Before we go any further, I need more answers. If I’m going to take down this leader, I need to know where to start.”Lucas swallowed, his gaze flickering to the darkened screens, frustration etched into every line on his face. He looked like a man who’d spent years trapped in the shadows, only to find himself running

We moved quickly through the twisting hallways, following Claire’s lead. The control room was within reach, yet every step felt heavier as if the air itself were thick with danger. Ethan kept close, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings. The tension between us all was palpable—mistrust still lingered, despite Claire’s sudden defection to our side. We rounded a final corner, ducking beneath hanging cables and debris, until Claire stopped in front of a metal door. She pressed her ear against it briefly, then motioned for us to follow her inside. “This is it,” Claire whispered. “We’ll be safe for a little while.”The room we entered was dimly lit, filled with computer monitors displaying surveillance feeds, encrypted data streams, and maps marked with enemy movements. But what struck me most was the figure waiting inside—a slender man in his late forties, wearing a frayed suit jacket, his glasses perched precariously on his nose. I knew this man.“Dr. Lucas?” I gasped. “What the hel

Darkness enveloped me like a suffocating shroud, pulling me deeper into its abyss. But just as I thought I was lost, an insistent beeping tore through the silence, pulling me back to consciousness. My eyes fluttered open, the harsh fluorescent lights above piercing through my haze. Pain radiated from my shoulder, sharp and searing, reminding me of Marcus and his betrayal. I tried to sit up, but a heavyweight pinned me down.“Easy there, Emily,” a familiar voice murmured softly. I turned my head and found Oliver hovering beside me, his expression a mix of relief and concern. “You’re safe now.”“Safe?” I croaked, the word feeling foreign against my tongue. I glanced around, taking in my surroundings. I was in a small, dimly lit room, the walls lined with crates and makeshift barricades. The faint sounds of chaos echoed outside—yelling, gunfire, and the unmistakable sound of destruction.“What happened?” I demanded, my heart racing. The adrenaline surged, urging me to push through the pa

The heavy door slammed shut behind Marcus, the echo reverberating in the cold room as adrenaline coursed through my veins. My mind raced, trying to absorb everything that had just happened. The woman’s revelation hung in the air like a beacon of hope, but I couldn’t dwell on it; I needed a plan. I had to escape.I leaned forward in my chair, testing the tightness of the ropes binding my wrists. If I could just shift a little… The chair creaked as I strained against the bonds, feeling the fibers begin to loosen. My heart pounded in time with the ticking clock on the wall, each tick a reminder that time was running out.Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching. The moment of truth was here. I closed my eyes, focusing on my breathing, readying myself for whatever came next. The door opened, and one of Marcus's henchmen stepped in, a sneer plastered across his face.“Well, well, look who we have here. Still think you’re tough?” he taunted, stepping closer. This was it.As he leaned down to

Chapter 1: EMILY’S RESOLVE
The courthouse loomed before me, an imposing structure of cold stone and steel that seemed to echo the finality of what I was about to do. I stood at the base of the steps, clutching the handle of my leather briefcase so tightly that my knuckles had turned white. The autumn wind whipped around me, tugging at the strands of my carefully styled auburn hair, but I didn’t care. Today was the day I severed the last tie binding me to Daniel Blackwood.As I walked up the steps, the rhythmic click of my heels on the pavement sounded like a countdown to freedom. Each step brought me closer to the closure I’d been craving for years. I adjusted my tailored gray blazer, the fabric stiff and unyielding against my shoulders, as if the garment itself could sense the weight of the decision I was making.Inside, the courthouse was just as I remembered—cold, clinical, and utterly devoid of warmth. The smell of disinfectant hung in the air, mingling with the faint scent of old paper and worn leather. I ...
