Divorced on Our Wedding Night Chapter 125: The First Move
The trap was set, but waiting was the hardest part. Avelyn stood by the window again, watching the harbor as evening slowly settled over Rotterdam. The sky had darkened, the water reflecting scattered lights from ships and buildings. Everything looked calm on the surface. It was misleading. Behind them, the system ran quietly, every layer active, every access point monitored. Lucas had not left his station for hours. Tan moved in and out, keeping track of external signals and quiet shifts in communication. Cassian remained still for most of it. Watching. Waiting. Just like her. “You’re thinking too far ahead again.” His voice came from behind her, low and steady. Avelyn didn’t turn. “That’s my job.” Cassian stepped closer, stopping just beside her. “Not when it distracts you from what’s happening now.” Avelyn let out a small breath. “I’m not distracted.” “You are.” That made her glance at him. “Then tell me what I’m missing.” Cassian’s gaze held hers. “The moment.” Av
Divorced on Our Wedding Night Chapter 124: The Trap They Couldn’t See
The idea settled quickly, but execution was something else entirely. Avelyn stood by the central table, her tablet in hand, outlining the structure of the plan with quiet precision. The room had shifted again, no longer tense from confrontation, but sharp with focus. “If Aurora is watching,” she said, “then she’s not just monitoring our system. She’s watching our decisions.” Lucas nodded, already following. “So whatever we do next has to look real.” “It has to be real,” Avelyn corrected. Tan leaned back slightly. “Meaning?” “We don’t fake a move,” she said. “We make one.” Cassian, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. “And we let her think she’s ahead of it.” Avelyn glanced at him briefly, then nodded. “Exactly.” There was a quiet understanding in that moment. No argument. No hesitation. Just alignment. Lucas turned back to his screen. “So what’s the move?” Avelyn placed her tablet down and brought up a projection on the main display. A new framework appeared clean,
Divorced on Our Wedding Night Chapter 123: What He Never Told Her
They returned to the office in silence, but it was not the same silence as before. This one carried weight unfinished words, unanswered questions, and something far more dangerous than either of them wanted to admit. Avelyn walked ahead, her pace steady, her posture composed, but her mind refused to settle. Every step felt like it was pulling her deeper into something she had tried to leave behind years ago. Cassian followed a few steps behind, his expression calm as always, yet there was a tension in the way he moved subtle, controlled, but there. Lucas and Tan trailed after them, exchanging brief glances but saying nothing. Even they understood this was no longer just about business. Once inside, Avelyn didn’t stop. She walked straight to the table and placed her tablet down before turning back to face Cassian. “You knew before the wedding,” she said. It wasn’t a question. Cassian closed the distance between them slowly. “Yes.” Avelyn nodded once, as if confirming something
Divorced on Our Wedding Night Chapter 122: The Name He Never Said
The room fell into a deep, suffocating silence.No one moved. No one spoke. The faint hum of the system was the only sound, but even that seemed distant compared to the weight of what Avelyn had just uncovered.Her eyes remained fixed on the screen.Then slowly… she turned to Cassian.“That access point,” she said, her voice calm but firm, “came from your account.”Lucas shook his head immediately. “That can’t be right. There’s no way”“It is right,” Avelyn cut in quietly. “The signature is exact.”Tan frowned, his usual ease gone. “Then someone used it.”Avelyn didn’t respond. She was still looking at Cassian.Waiting.Cassian stepped forward, his expression unreadable. He didn’t look surprised. He didn’t look angry either.He simply looked… certain.“My account was used,” he said.Lucas blinked. “You’re saying someone had access to it?”“Yes.”There was no hesitation in his voice.No denial.Avelyn’s gaze sharpened. “Who?”For a brief moment, Cassian said nothing.And in that silenc
Divorced on Our Wedding Night Chapter 121: What Was Left Unsaid
By the time they left the port authority building, the rain had almost stopped. The sky was still gray, but lighter now, as if the storm had passed but left something behind. The air felt cold and fresh, carrying the distant sound of ships moving through the harbor. No one spoke at first. They walked together in silence Cassian, Avelyn, Lucas, and Tan each lost in their own thoughts. The meeting had not been a failure. But it had not been a victory either. And in a situation like this, that difference mattered. “We bought time,” Lucas said eventually, breaking the silence. Tan nodded. “Yeah. But Sebastian’s not done.” “No,” Cassian replied calmly. “He’s just getting started.” Avelyn didn’t join the conversation. She walked slightly ahead of them, her steps steady, her expression calm. But her mind Her mind was still somewhere else. “That localized control idea,” Lucas added, glancing at her, “it was good. It gave them something to hold on to.” Avelyn gave a small nod wi
Divorced on Our Wedding Night Chapter 120: The Line Between Truth and Trust
The conference room felt colder than before. Not because of the weather outside, but because of what now stood between both sides of the table. Doubt. Avelyn took her seat without a word. Cassian sat beside her, his posture relaxed, his expression unreadable. Across from them, the Rotterdam officials watched with quiet attention, their earlier neutrality now replaced with something more cautious. More guarded. The director folded his hands on the table. “You asked for time,” he said. “We’ve given it. I hope you have something meaningful to present.” Lucas stepped forward, connecting his system to the main display. His movements were quick, precise but there was tension in them. “We do,” he said. The screen lit up. Lines of code appeared first, followed by layered system architecture. Then timelines. Data comparisons. Structural differences. “This,” Lucas began, pointing at the first section, “is the data submitted to you this morning.” He paused, letting the officials take
