Chasing his billionaire ex wife

It was a quiet night in the suburban street. Three big black cars came driving in without their headlights on. The people who lived nearby did not see them.. Ryan Voss would never forget this night.

Elara Voss was standing on the lawn in the rain. She was holding her daughter Mia. Elara was still wearing the apron she had on while she was cooking. It was all stained with grease. It smelled bad.

Six men in suits got out of the cars at the same time. Then the tallest one came forward. Bowed really low. "Ma'am. It has been eight years, two months and four days." Elara Voss did not even blink. "You're late Silas."

twelve minutes before Elara was standing in the dining room. Her husband was yelling at her because he did not like the food she made. He said she was not a cook and that she was replaceable. Their sixteen-year-old daughter was laughing at her too. Now they were all driving to a restaurant in their fancy car. They had no idea that the woman they left behind was not a housewife. She was the boss of Hamilton Global.. Tonight she was going home.

Silas took Mia from Elaras arms gently. "The plane is ready. The people at work have been told. The stock market opens in six hours." Elara took off her apron. Dropped it in a puddle. The rain washed away eight years of pretending to be someone she was not.

"Voss Logistics " she said calmly. "Who owns their debt?" "Azure Sky Holdings " Silas replied. "Which now belongs to us." Elara said, "Call in the debt. I want Ryan Voss to wake up tomorrow with nothing."

As they walked to the car Elara thought about what happened at dinner. Her husband was making fun of her cooking. Her daughter was laughing at her. Elara had been taking all the insults for eight years because she thought love was more important.. She was not going to do that anymore.

Inside the car Elara got out her phone. It had been off for three thousand days. The screen turned on. She saw that she had thousands of missed calls and millions of emails. There was one message from Silas Vance. It said, "The world is waiting. Where are you?" Elara typed back "I am at the gates. Prepare extraction."

The car door. Elaras old life was over.

They drove in silence. Mia was sleeping in Silass arms. Elara looked at her hands. They were shaking.. It was not because she was scared. It was because she was excited to be herself

Her phone buzzed. It was a text from Ryan. He was saying that the restaurant was great and that Chloe said hi. He also told Elara to put oil on the garage door. Elara looked at the message for a time. Then she opened the app that controlled the locks at home. With three taps:

* She deleted Ryans access to the smart locks.

* She disabled his security codes.

* She cut the power to the house.

"Silas " she said. "Who is handling my divorce?" "Arthur Sterling is waiting at the airport with the papers " he replied. "Good. Tell him I want everything. The house, the cars, everything." Silas said, "Yes, ma'am."

The car turned towards the airport. The rain was hitting the windows hard. Elara wiped her face. Pulled her hair back. The housewife was gone. The Iron Queen was back.

The plane engines were really loud as the car stopped. There were security guards everywhere. Elara got out of the car. "Ma'am " Silas said, "Ryan is at the restaurant and hes trying to pay the bill." ". " "All his cards were declined. Hes yelling that he's a millionaire." Elara did not look surprised. "Let him yell."

a car came driving onto the airport. It stopped fast. The door. Ryan ran out. "Elara! What did you do to my accounts?!" Elara turned around slowly. She did not look like a wife. She looked like a stranger. "Good evening, Mr. Voss."

Ryan froze. He had never seen Elara like this before. "You embarrassed me! Fix this now!" Elara showed him Silass tablet. It said that all of Ryans assets were frozen. "That's impossible " he said. "I own that company." Elara smiled a little. "No Ryan. You never did."

Chloe got out of the car. She was recording everything with her phone. "Mom... What is happening?" Elara looked at her daughter calmly. "For eight years you both thought I was a woman who couldn't cook steak." She stepped closer. "I am the founder and CEO of Hamilton Global."

Ryan laughed.. Then he saw the screen. It said that Elara was the CEO of Hamilton Global again. The laughter stopped. His world was turned down. "The contracts you bragged about... The success you claimed..." Elara said, "were gifts, from my company." Ryans knees were weak.

Elara stepped onto the plane. ". Ryan?" He looked up slowly. "You were right." He swallowed hard. "I am replaceable." Elara held his gaze. "You are not." The plane door. Ryan Voss was left standing on the runway with nothing... As his whole world fell apart.
