Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 201: The Collapse
The collapse happened in full view of everyone who mattered and many who didn't, captured by lenses that had no interest in mercy, only in moments that could be replayed endlessly.The foundation hearing had been scheduled as a routine accountability session, one of those carefully structured public forums designed to restore confidence rather than provoke it.It was the kind of event meant to reassure rather than to reveal.Petra hadn't planned to attend. She had followed the proceedings remotely from her office, half-listening while signing off on documents, trusting that the foundation's legal team would handle the optics with their usual precision.Her attention divided between figures and phrases she barely registered.Pete was not meant to speak.He had insisted anyway.Cameras were already rolling when it happened. He had been seated at the long table, shoulders squared in a way that suggested effort rather than ease.His hands folded tightly as questions were directed at other
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 199: What Healing Doesn't Owe You
The foundation retreat had been described as mandatory in the email, the word sitting in bold like a challenge no one was expected to resist.Petra had received the mail earlier. She read it twice before closing her laptop, already feeling the quiet tension settle into her shoulders.She knew Pete would be there. The board list had made that unavoidable.What unsettled her was not the certainty of his presence, but the timing; two days after his discharge, two days after doctors had warned him against stress he had spent his life courting.The venue sat just outside the city, a restored estate turned conference centre, all wide lawns and glass walls meant to suggest openness and renewal.Petra arrived early, as she always did, stepping out of the car with a measured calm that had become second nature.Oscar followed close behind her, his hand hovering briefly at the small of her back before dropping away as staff approached.Inside, the air was filled with voices carried softly, polit
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 198: The Message Undelivered
Petra told herself she owed Pete nothing. She repeated it in her head as she drove, hands steady on the steering wheel, eyes fixed on the road ahead.The words sounded convincing when spoken silently, rational and clean. She had forgiven him. She had moved on.Her life was full again; work that mattered, a man who loved her, a future she had rebuilt with her own hands.Yet when the hospital sign appeared in her peripheral vision, she slowed without thinking.She didn't turn in or park.But her foot eased off the accelerator, and her eyes drifted toward the familiar white buildings rising behind the trees.The memory of antiseptic smells and hushed corridors pressed in on her chest. She told herself it meant nothing. Old habits. Residual concern. Human decency.Still, when the light turned green and the car behind her honked softly, she realised she had stopped completely.Petra inhaled, sharp and deliberate, then drove on.At the next junction, she pulled over and rested her forehead
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 197: The Message
Petra woke before the alarm, the unease already sitting heavy in her chest. The room was quiet, washed in the faint grey light of early morning, but her mind refused the calm.She lay still for a moment, listening to Oscar's breathing beside her, steady and deep, and felt a pinch of guilt tighten behind her ribs.The argument from the night before hovered close, unfinished, its edges sharp. She had asked for space. He had given it.Yet the distance between them had not softened with sleep.She turned onto her side and studied his face. Even relaxed, there was tension there now, a faint line between his brows that had not existed weeks ago. Pete's name didn't need to be spoken to be present.It was there in the silence, in the careful way Oscar had looked at her before turning off the lights, in the couch where he had slept instead of their bed.Petra slipped out quietly, dressing with more care than necessary, as if moving slowly could rearrange her thoughts. In the bathroom mirror,
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 196: What the Night Left Behind
The ride back home that night stretched longer than it should have, not because of traffic, but because of everything neither of them said. The city lights streamed past the windshield in blurred streaks of gold and white, reflected faintly on Petra's face.She sat with her back against the seat, eyes fixed on the road ahead, shoulders drawn inward as though she were bracing herself against something unseen, something she couldn't quite name even to herself."Are you okay?" Oscar asked quietly, his voice steady but careful, testing the silence between them.She turned to him and nodded once, a small movement that felt heavier than it looked. Then she smiled. That brief, more like rehearsed smile.Oscar recognised it immediately. It was the smile she wore when she did not want to open a door, the one she had perfected over years of protecting herself from questions she wasn't ready to answer.He kept his eyes on the road, fingers tightening slightly around the steering wheel. "You wa
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 195: The Apology That Came Too Late
"What do you want, Pete?"Oscar's voice cut through the night with barely restrained fury as he turned fully to face Pete, his hand closing the car door with a sharp click that echoed briefly against the quiet of the parking lot. His jaw was tight, shoulders squared, every line of his body defensive, coiled like a man bracing for something he had already anticipated. "Haven't you done enough damage already?"Pete stood there beneath the muted glow of the parking lights, hands hanging at his sides, shoulders slumped in a way that looked deeply unfamiliar on him, a far cry from the composed executive he had once been.For a moment, it seemed as though he was weighing his words carefully, deciding whether speaking at all would only worsen things, whether silence might have been the wiser choice after all.Inside the car, Petra remained seated, watching through the windshield, her fingers curled lightly around the edge of her seat. She hadn't decided yet whether to step out or let Oscar

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

Martins and Eric flinched at the same time, their bodies jerking backward as if someone had just fired a gun in the room.For a second, nobody moved.The dirty diaper had landed squarely on Zoe’s face. Brown stains smeared across her cheek and nose, sliding slowly downward.Her eyes widened in disb
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 1: Betrayal
Petra caught another woman carelessly flirting with her own husband right in front of her eyes, barely forty eight hours of her postpartum recovery.The baby’s cry pierced through the house again, thin but stubborn, like a tiny alarm that refused to be ignored.Petra stood in the kitchen, exhausted
