ELLIE'S POV

The drive home was different. The heavy silence that had filled the car on the way to the event was gone. In its place was a quiet hum of energy, a new, sharp focus. The perfect weapon was not in a file or on a computer. It was a secret, and it was now in my hands.

Daniel had sent the divorce papers to my phone before I even reached the mansion. A PDF document, official and final. The proof was real. Giselle was not the powerful, untouchable queen she pretended to be. She was a divo

  • DATING MY DAUGHTER'S EX   Chapter 31 — THE GOOD GUYS

    ELLIE'S POVThe last time I was this shocked was fifteen years ago. That was when I found out my husband, Daniel, was cheating on me. I had known he was cheating, but the shock came when I saw the woman with him. My best friend. Giselle.Now, standing in this small, clean apartment, I felt that same icy jolt. Seeing Giselle here, sitting on Mike's sofa like she owned it, was like a punch to the stomach. What was she doing here? It couldn't be a coincidence."What are you doing here, Giselle?" I asked, forcing my voice to stay steady. I didn't want to overthink things, even though her words from a few seconds ago echoed in my head: "I'm six steps ahead of you.""For the same reason you are here," Giselle said with a calm, cruel smile.If what she said was true, it meant someone had told her I was coming here. Someone had warned her. The realization hit me so hard it took my breath away. Someone from my team of lawyers. One of them was working for her. They had told her about the hard c

  • DATING MY DAUGHTER'S EX   Chapter 30 — SIX STEPS AHEAD

    LEO'S POVI didn't even think about Daniel's words before I left his office. My feet just carried me out. The door clicked shut behind me, and I stood in the hallway for a second, feeling like I couldn't breathe.The first part of his request was what stuck in my head. The part where he wanted me to find a way for him to get back between Ellie's legs. He wanted to have sex with her. My skin crawled just thinking about it. I know old men like him think differently, but to use his ex-wife's crisis as a way to force himself back into her bed... it was disgusting. It made my bargain feel dirty before I even agreed to it.I needed to clear my head. I got in my truck and drove back to Ellie's mansion, not knowing what else to do. I was so lost in my own thoughts that the drive was a blur.When I pulled up to the big house, I saw there were other cars parked in the driveway. Not just any cars— nice, expensive sedans.I walked inside and found Ellie in the living room with a group of people i

  • DATING MY DAUGHTER'S EX   Chapter 29 — THE BARGAIN

    LEO'S POVAfter my conversation with Maya at Hana's birthday party, my mind was not at peace. Her last words— "The people of Tulsa would love tomorrow’s morning gist"— kept playing in my head. They scared me.She had seen it all wrong. She thought I was in a secret relationship with Hana and still with her mother. She thought I was playing them both. Her mind had twisted a stupid, fake birthday moment into a whole story of me being a terrible person.The biggest reason I was scared was because of Ellie. This story, if Maya told it, would hurt Ellie. People would laugh at her. They would say, "See? The old woman is being used by a young player." I couldn't let that happen. I would rather Maya came for me. But I knew she would aim for Ellie to hurt me the most.When I woke up the next morning, things were already bad. Ellie was up before me, her face pale. She told me about Giselle. About the lawsuit for three hundred billion dollars. About Giselle sitting in her own chair. The look on

  • DATING MY DAUGHTER'S EX   Chapter 28 — THE SEAT TAKEN

    ELLIE'S POVMy hands were still shaking when I picked up the phone again. The TV was off now, but Giselle’s face and words kept playing in my head like a bad song on repeat. I scrolled through my contacts until I found Daniel’s name. My thumb hovered over the call button for a second before I pressed it. I needed answers. I needed something— anything— to make sense of this mess.The line rang twice before he picked up.“Ellie,” he said, his voice flat and tired.“Daniel, we need to talk.”There was a long pause. Then he sighed. “I remember warning you— and begging you— to buy my share in Silhouette when I offered it. You ignored me. Now you’re calling?”I closed my eyes and leaned against the wall. Leo was still on the couch, watching me with worried eyes. I tried to keep my voice steady. “Daniel, let me admit it. That day, I was acting based on my emotions. I was angry. Hurt. I just want to understand now— why is Giselle on my TV screen saying the opposite of what you told me? You sa

  • DATING MY DAUGHTER'S EX   Chapter 27 — THE MORNING AFTER

    ELLIE'S POVFor what felt like hours, I paced around the huge sitting room. My bare feet slapped against the cold marble floor. Back and forth. Back and forth. I couldn’t sit still. My mind kept replaying those pictures Maya sent me— Leo kissing that young girl at the party. His arms around her waist. His lips on hers like it was nothing. Like I didn’t exist.He had looked me in the eyes just hours before and said he loved me. He had pinned me against his door and touched me like I was the only woman in the world. And now this? How could he do this to me? Tears burned behind my eyes, but I kept blinking them away. I refused to cry over a boy. Not again.Then I heard it— the low rumble of Leo’s truck pulling into the compound. The security gate opened without hesitation. I should have called them earlier. I should have told them not to let him in. But now it was too late. He was already here.The front door opened. Leo stepped inside, smiling like everything was fine. He spread his arm

  • DATING MY DAUGHTER'S EX   Chapter 26 — THE FAKE SPOTLIGHT

    LEO'S POVThe party was loud, bright, and full of energy. Music pounded through the speakers. Colored lights flashed across the room. People danced, laughed, and took selfies everywhere. I stood near the edge with a cup of soda in my hand, checking my phone every few minutes. It was already past ten. I just wanted the night to end so I could drive straight to Ellie’s place.My mind kept going back to earlier— her body pressed against the door, the way she pulled me close and said she loved me. The heat of her skin under my hands. The way she moaned when I touched her breast. We were so close to finally having each other, no interruptions, no guilt, just us. I could still feel the ghost of her lips on mine. My body was restless just thinking about it. Tonight was supposed to be ours.Then Hana stepped onto the small stage in the middle of the room. Someone handed her a microphone. The music dropped low. Everyone turned to look at her.She looked happy— really happy. Her dress sparkled
