Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 170: The Man in the Shadows
Pete didn't hear the news the way people usually did.There was no dramatic phone call in the middle of the night, no frantic knock on his door, no voice breaking through tears.It came to him in the most ordinary way possible, through his assistant, standing stiffly by the office door, voice low and unsure, as though afraid the words might shatter something if spoken too loudly."Sir… Zoe Fox passed away early this morning."That was all.No elaboration. No condolences yet. Just the fact, laid bare before him.Pete simply sat there, his body frozen in the leather chair, eyes fixed on a point on the wall that meant nothing at all. The world around him seemed to dim, as though someone had slowly turned down the lights in the room.The assistant waited for a few seconds, then a few more. When it became clear no response was coming, he quietly stepped out and closed the door behind him.Pete was alone now.Minutes passed. Or maybe hours. He couldn't tell the difference anymore.It sett
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 169: The Dead Are Not Done Speaking
The news didn't break like thunder.It arrived slowly, almost politely, slipping into the city like early morning harmattan fog, thick, cold, unavoidable.By mid-morning, it was everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Not the kind of news that made sirens scream or crowds gather, but the kind that sat heavy on people's chests once they read it.ZOE FOX CONFIRMED DEAD AT 4:12 A.M.The headline appeared on blogs first. Then business news pages picked it up. Then gossip sites twisted it around. By afternoon, it had filtered into every corner of social media.Reactions came in waves, conflicting and uncomfortable to read.Some posts were filled with sympathy.'So young. May her soul rest in peace.''Life is truly unpredictable.'Others were colder in their assessment.'Karma is real.''If only people knew the full story.'A few were cruelly celebratory, thinly disguised as moral lessons for others.'You reap what you sow.'And then there were those who said nothing at all, choosing sile
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 168: Time of Death
The crash came quietly.Not with alarms blaring or frantic shouting at first, but with a subtle, almost cruel stillness that crept into the ICU in the early hours of the morning.The kind of stillness that made nurses exchange quick looks, the kind that made a seasoned doctor pause for half a second longer than usual before checking a monitor again.Zoe's chest rose… then fell.Then it rose again, but barely.Her breathing, which had been shallow all night, suddenly became uneven, like someone trying to climb out of deep water with failing strength.The steady rhythm of the machine beside her faltered, numbers dipping, struggling to hold on to what remained.A nurse noticed first."Doctor," she called softly, but there was urgency beneath her calm. "Her oxygen saturation is dropping."Within seconds, the room filled again. Shoes moved quickly but quietly across the polished floor. Curtains were drawn tighter around the bed.A doctor stepped closer to the bed, his face already set in a
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 167: Did Eva Sleep Well?
Morning crept in quietly, the kind of morning that looked innocent enough to deceive anyone willing to believe it. Sunlight filtered through the thin curtains of the bedroom, touching the edges of the neatly made bed, resting briefly on Petra's face before she stirred.She opened her eyes slowly, not startled, not rushed, yet there was a tightness in her chest she couldn't quite explain to herself. It felt like waking from a dream whose details were gone but whose weight remained pressing on her.She lay there for a moment, listening carefully.The apartment was too quiet around her.Usually, Oscar moved around early in the mornings, soft footsteps, the faint clink of a mug against the counter, the low hum of the kettle heating water. Today, everything seemed delayed, like the day itself was holding its breath.Petra turned on her side and found him standing by the window, fully dressed, phone in hand, his brows drawn together in a way she had come to recognize too well over time.
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 166: Something Old and Dangerous
Petra lay on her side, staring at the faint outline of the curtains as moonlight slipped through the narrow gap between them. The room was quiet in the way only night could manage, too quiet, as if the walls themselves were listening for something. Every time she closed her eyes, Zoe's voice crept back in, low and rasping.'You think this is over?'Petra shifted, drawing the blanket tighter around her shoulders. She had faced threats before. She had survived betrayal, sickness, humiliation, abandonment. Yet this felt different somehow.Zoe's words had not carried the desperation of someone begging for relevance. They had carried certainty instead.Beside her, Oscar stirred in the darkness.He hadn't been fully asleep either. He had felt the tension in her body the moment she slipped into bed, the way her breathing never quite settled beside him. He turned toward her, sliding an arm around her waist, pulling her gently closer until her back rested against his chest."You're not slee
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 165: You Think This Is Over?
The room smelled faintly of medication and flowers that had begun to wilt despite daily care from the staff. Sunlight filtered weakly through half-drawn blinds, casting pale lines across the bed where Zoe lay motionless.She looked smaller than Petra remembered, almost shrunken into the white sheets, her skin drawn tight over her cheekbones, lips cracked and dry from illness. Tubes traced quiet paths around her body, machines humming softly like restrained breaths beside her.This was not the woman who once walked into rooms with her chin lifted, voice sharp with entitlement. This was not the woman who wore confidence like armor and cruelty like perfume.When the door opened, Zoe's eyes shifted slowly toward the sound. Recognition flickered, followed by something like amusement crossing her face. A weak laugh escaped her throat, rough and broken."So…" she rasped, voice thin as paper. "You came."Petra closed the door behind her gently. She stood just inside the room for a moment,

Elizabeth had marched halfway into the grand hall in a storm of fury, but the moment she reached the center and noticed the cluster of reporters standing only a few steps away, she halted so abruptly that Kevin almost bumped into her from behind.The microphones stretched toward her like thin black

Pete collected the file from Petra’s outstretched hand, his fingers tightening around the edges as his eyes dropped to the bold letters printed across the first page.The words DIVORCE AGREEMENT seemed to hit him harder than anything Petra had said that morning.For a brief moment he just stared at
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 4: "Let's Get a Divorce"
“There, there,” Petra murmured softly, her voice warm and calm. “Mommy is here.”The baby made a small sound and kicked his tiny legs against the blanket.Petra lay on the hospital bed, her back slightly propped up with pillows.Her face still looked pale, but there was a soft smile resting on her
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 3: Breaking Point
“It’s… it’s alright.”Zoe’s reaction changed so quickly it almost looked rehearsed. Just seconds ago she had flinched at the glass shattering near Pete’s feet, but now her face softened into something that looked like concern.She stepped closer to Pete, her fingers reaching for his hand as though
