ผู้เขียน: Ella Ethel
last update วันที่เผยแพร่: 2026-07-28 19:27:09

The days grew colder.

By the time December arrived, Evelyn was eight months pregnant.

Her once graceful steps had become slow and careful.

Even getting out of bed required patience.

She smiled to herself as she sat on the edge of the mattress.

"You're getting bigger every day."

As if answering her, Ethan gave a firm kick.

She laughed.

"I know, I know. You're running out of space."

Arthur insisted that she begin her maternity leave immediately.

"No emails."

"No meetings."

"No working from home."

  • Divorced While Pregnant: The Billionaire’s Regret.   Chapter 270: A New Era

    Six months later...Summer had settled over New York.The morning sun poured across Sterling Mansion, bathing the mansion in warm golden light.The scars of the past were gone.And for the first time in years...Sterling Mansion didn't feel like a fortress.It felt like a home.Music floated across the sprawling lawn.Laughter filled the air.Waiters moved between elegantly decorated tables beneath white canopies while guests gathered around fountains decorated with fresh flowers.There were no drawn weapons.No whispered security updates.No men constantly watching the gates.No emergency earpieces.No fear.Today wasn't about war.It wasn't about revenge.It wasn't even about business.It was about peace.And there were two reasons to celebrate.The first was the official launch of the Richard Sterling Memorial Foundation, created in memory of Damian's father.The foundation would support families whose lives had been destroyed by corporate crime, financial corruption, and organized

  • Divorced While Pregnant: The Billionaire’s Regret.   Chapter 269: The Final Purge

    Morning sunlight poured through the tall windows of Sterling Mansion.For the first time in days...The mansion was peaceful.No gunfire.No alarms.No emergency broadcasts.Only the sound of children laughing.Damian stood near the dining room doorway, watching Evelyn sit beside Ethan and Arianna.Ethan was happily eating breakfast while Arianna tried to steal a piece of toast from his plate."That's mine," Ethan protested.Arianna giggled.Evelyn laughed softly.Damian smiled.For a moment...He simply watched them.This was what he had been fighting for.Not the company.Not the money.Not the family name.Them.Evelyn looked up."You've been standing there for five minutes."Damian walked over."I was enjoying the view."She smiled."Are you going somewhere?""Sterling Group."Her smile faded slightly."The board members?"Damian nodded."Today."Evelyn understood immediately."The three men Adrian named.""Marcus Vale.""Jonathan Reed.""Charles Whitmore.""This ends today."Evel

    Three days had passed.Three days since Adrian Thorne had been taken from the bridge.Three days since the most powerful enemy the Sterling family had ever faced had disappeared from the world.But Adrian wasn't in a police cell.He wasn't in FBI custody.He wasn't in a prison.He was somewhere no map recorded.Miles away from the family's secure facility...Deep beneath an abandoned industrial property...A concrete bunker sat beneath layers of steel and stone.Only Victor's most trusted security officers knew it existed.And only a handful of them knew who was being held there.Inside one of the underground rooms...Adrian Thorne sat alone.The room was completely empty.Concrete walls.Concrete floor.A single metal table.A narrow bed.No windows.No television.No telephone.No clock.Nothing that could tell him whether it was day or night.His expensive suit was gone.His watch was gone.His phone was gone.Even his shoes had been removed.For the first time in decades...Adrian

    Adrian stared at the burning airstrip through the windshield.The orange flames illuminated the night sky.His escape was gone.His aircraft were destroyed.The Shadow was in Damian's hands.And somewhere behind him...Damian Sterling was waiting.Adrian swallowed."Turn around."The driver immediately obeyed.The armored town car swung across the deserted road and accelerated back toward the city.Adrian leaned against the seat.His mind raced.He still had money.Some of it.He still had contacts.Some of them.There had to be another way."There has to be another route."The driver remained silent.Adrian looked at him."I said find another route.""Yes, sir."But the driver's voice lacked the confidence it once had.Several miles away...Damian stood beside the burning aircraft.Victor approached him."The Shadow is secured."Damian nodded."Good."One of the security officers handed Damian a communication device."Mr. Sterling.""Lucas has the road network."Damian pressed his ea

    The road to the private airstrip was almost completely deserted.No streetlights.No traffic.Only darkness stretching across the outskirts of New York.Three armored SUVs moved silently through the night.The lead vehicle belonged to Damian.Victor sat beside him.Behind them were two more vehicles carrying the surviving Sterling security officers who had defended Sterling Mansion during the siege.Damian touched the communication device in his ear."Lucas.""I'm here.""Status?"Lucas's voice came through clearly."I've mapped the entire airstrip.""Give me everything.""The perimeter is heavily guarded.""Approximately twenty-four armed men outside the main hangar."Damian's eyes narrowed."Inside?""The Shadow is there.""He appears to be coordinating the extraction.""And the aircraft?""Two private jets.""Both fueled.""Ready for departure."Victor glanced toward Damian."Then we can't let them reach the runway."Damian nodded."We won't."Lucas continued."There's one problem.

    The first light of dawn had not yet reached New York.But Sterling Mansion was already empty.The siege was over.The surviving mercenaries had been neutralized.The wounded commander had been taken into custody.Yet Damian Sterling knew one thing with absolute certainty.His family could no longer remain there.Adrian Thorne had found the mansion once.He could find it again.And Damian would never give him a second opportunity.Before leaving the mansion, Damian had turned to Lucas."Find us somewhere Adrian can't reach."Lucas had immediately understood."How secure?""Completely off the grid.""Not connected to Sterling Group.""Not connected to my name.""Understood.""Arrange everything.""Security. Communications. Rooms for the children."Damian had paused."And don't forget the household staff."Lucas nodded."Everyone?""Everyone.""I don't want anyone left behind."Now, hours later...Three heavily armored SUVs moved silently through the sleeping streets of Manhattan.The co
