Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 22
Ian's POVThe drive home was quiet.My driver said nothing. The city lights bled past the window in slow streaks of amber and white. I sat with one arm against the door, two fingers pressed to my mouth, staring at nothing in particular.You remind me of someone.I'd said that out loud. And to a woman I'd met four hours ago.My jaw tightened. I dropped my hand and looked away from the window.The house was lit when we pulled in. Camila's doing. She hated coming home to darkness.The front door opened before I reached it — Renata stepped aside without a word. I handed her my jacket and loosened my collar as I walked through the entrance hall.The heels on the marble told me where Camila was before I saw her.She appeared at the top of the staircase in a silk robe, one hand resting on the banister, the other wrapped around a wine glass. Her eyes tracked me from above."You're late.""The dinner ran over."She descended slowly. "I called twice.""I know."She reached the bottom step and s
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 21 - Do I know You
Elara's POVMy eyes stayed on Camila for a moment.How gullible could she be?Did she truly believe I wanted Ian back?Did she honestly think I had crossed oceans, built an empire, and clawed my way back from death because I couldn't move on from a man?I rolled my eyes."I couldn't care less."The confidence in my voice was effortless. With that, I shifted past her and headed toward the exit.I stepped out of the bathroom, leaving Camila standing there stunned. The door clicked shut behind me and the smile immediately vanished from my face.The corridor was empty and far too quiet for my liking. For several seconds, I simply stood there staring ahead.Then I released a slow breath.Damn it.My hand tightened around my purse.I could still see it. Camila sitting on Ian's lap. Her fingers tangled in his hair. The kiss and the way his hands had settled on her waist.The image replayed itself with brutal clarity.Again.And again.And again.A bitter laugh escaped me.What exactly was
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 20 - Drop The Performance
ELARA’S POV“I believe it’s not a crime to be a substitute if someone refuses a dare.”Camilla’s voice slid across the table before her perfume did—thick, expensive, suffocating. She moved toward us with deliberate grace, each click of her heels striking the marble like a countdown. The chandelier light clung to her black dress, the belt cinched perfectly at her waist, her red lipstick sharp enough to cut glass. I hated that I noticed how stunning she looked. I hated even more that she knew it.She stopped beside Ian and lowered herself into the empty chair as if she had always belonged there.“Oh my God… you’re alive,” she breathed, pressing a hand dramatically against her chest as she looked at me. “You have no idea what the news of your death did to me. I mourned you for months.”Nothing irritates me more than a liar wearing red lipstick and calling it grief.“Death?” Quinn’s voice cut in, confused. “Wait… you two know each other?”Camilla’s eyes locked with mine. There it was—the
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 19 - Unexpected Guest (Truth or Dare)
Elara's POV Ivy’s heels clicked softly as she approached my desk, stopping a respectful distance away. She carried a sleek black tablet against her chest, posture straight, expression professional. “Everything is prepared, Miss Rhodes,” she said gently. “Just as you instructed.” My fingers continued moving across the keyboard — unhurried, deliberate — the soft rhythm echoing through the room. I didn’t answer immediately. Silence has power. And I know exactly how to use it. I finished typing the last line before lifting my gaze to her.Calm.Measured.Unreadable. “Is it precise?” I asked. “Not close… not approximate… exact.” Ivy nodded once. “Yes, ma’am. Every detail aligns with your specifications. I’ll forward the final address as soon as the other party confirms.” A faint pause. Her eyes flickered with subtle curiosity. But she knew better than to ask. “Good,” I replied, my tone soft — almost soothing. “Proceed discreetly.” “Yes, Miss Rhodes.” She turned to l
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 18 - Cowards
Camila’s POV The boardroom was so quiet I could practically hear the soft hum of the AC and the faint ticking of the wall clock. The city skyline stretched across the glass windows behind us, but no one dared admire it. Not when our sales report glowed on the massive presentation screen like a wound that refused to heal. Charts and sales graphs frozen mid-slide – silent proof of everything we had lost these past days. I crossed one leg over the other, fingers tapping rhythmically against the glass table. Everyone avoided my gaze. Good. They should. “Walk me through the numbers again,” I said flatly. Laura stood at the head of the room, her posture stiff, the remote trembling slightly between her fingers like a soldier about to deliver a death sentence. “Our fourth-quarter sales dropped significantly,” she said, clearing her throat. “The market took a heavy hit – especially in our luxury line.A thirty-two percent decline after the scandal footage circulated online.” A rippl
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 17 - A Promise And A Lie
Ian’s POV Victoria’s voice crackled faintly through the speaker, bright yet distant — like a star too far from earth to warm anything.“I’ve been trying to reach Mom all day, but the network’s terrible on set,” she explained hurriedly. “Please tell her I’m sorry I couldn’t make it tonight. I love her — truly. I promise I’ll visit soon.”I exhaled slowly, pressing my fingers to my temple.“Victoria, you’ve said that for three years now,” I replied, my tone firmer than I intended. “Every family gathering becomes my responsibility alone. How do you expect me to face her again?”She sighed — that elegant, rehearsed sigh she reserved for interviews and press calls.“Ian… acting isn’t a hobby anymore. The new season premieres soon, and tonight’s casting rehearsal is crucial. You, of all people, should understand commitment.”Commitment. An interesting word — especially coming from someone so skilled at escaping it.“Fine,” I said curtly. “I’ll tell h
