Bradley stood in the middle of the living room, unmoving, as the front door of the Cooper mansion closed behind him with a hollow thud. The sound lingered longer than it should have, echoing through the vast space like an accusation.

The house no longer smelled lived-in. No perfume. No laughter. No arguments. Just the sterile scent of polished marble and abandoned luxury.

The chandelier above him glowed softly, but the light felt cold. Every step he took echoed too loudly, reminding him of how empty the mansion had become.

The walls, once filled with voices and plans and bitterness, now felt like silent witnesses to his downfall.

He loosened his tie and tossed it onto the couch. It landed without resistance, sinking into cushions that had not been used in days.

His phone buzzed once in his hand, a notification from a bank app he no longer bothered to open. He already knew what it would say. Frozen. Restricted. Under review.

Bradley exhaled sharply and turned away.

He climbed the stair

  • Ex-Husband's Irrevocable Mistake   Chapter 96: The Weight of Quiet Endings

    The news did not 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.AMIRA FINLEY 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. By afternoon, it had filtered into every corner of social media.Reactions came in waves, conflicting and uncomfortable.Some posts were filled with sympathy.‘So young. May her soul rest in peace.’‘Life is truly unpredictable.’Others were colder.‘Karma is real.’‘If only people knew the full story.’A few were cruelly celebratory, thinly disguised as moral lessons.‘You reap what you sow.’And then there were those who said nothing at all, choosing silence over opinion, as if even typing her na

  • Ex-Husband's Irrevocable Mistake   Chapter 95: Silent Night

    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.Amira’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.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. A doctor stepped closer to the bed, his face already set in a way that suggested he knew wh

  • Ex-Husband's Irrevocable Mistake   Chapter 94: “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 Eva’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 explain. It felt like waking from a dream whose details were gone but whose weight remained.She lay there for a moment, listening.The apartment was too quiet.Usually, Emerson moved around early in the mornings, soft footsteps, the faint clink of a mug against the counter, the low hum of the kettle. Today, everything seemed delayed, like the day itself was holding its breath.Eva 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.“Morning,” she said, her voice gentle, testing the air between them.He turned imme

    Sleep refused to come.Eva lay on her side, staring at the faint outline of the curtains as moonlight slipped through the narrow gap. The room was quiet in the way only night could manage—too quiet, as if the walls themselves were listening. Every time she closed her eyes, Amira’s voice crept back in, low and rasping.‘You think this is over?’Eva shifted, drawing the blanket tighter around her shoulders. She had faced threats before. She had survived betrayal, sickness, humiliation, abandonment. Yet this felt different.Amira’s words had not carried the desperation of someone begging for relevance. They had carried certainty.Beside her, Emerson stirred.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. He turned toward her, sliding an arm around her waist, pulling her gently closer until her back rested against his chest.“You’re not sleeping,” he murmured, voice low and steady.Eva hes

  • Ex-Husband's Irrevocable Mistake   Chapter 92: What Dying Reveals

    The room smelled faintly of medication and flowers that had begun to wilt despite daily care. Sunlight filtered weakly through half-drawn blinds, casting pale lines across the bed where Amira lay.She looked smaller than Eva remembered, almost shrunken into the white sheets, her skin drawn tight over her cheekbones, lips cracked and dry. Tubes traced quiet paths around her body, machines humming softly like restrained breaths.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, Amira’s eyes shifted slowly toward the sound. Recognition flickered, followed by something like amusement. A weak laugh escaped her throat, rough and broken.“So…” she rasped, voice thin as paper. “You came.”Eva closed the door behind her gently. She stood just inside the room for a moment, taking everything in, the medical equipment, the stillness, the undenia

  • Ex-Husband's Irrevocable Mistake   Chapter 91: What Comes After Survival

    The news arrived quietly, almost respectfully, as though even the media understood that noise would be inappropriate this time. Amira Finley had been transferred to hospice care early that morning.No dramatic headlines. No flashing banners. Just carefully chosen words layered with implication.Eva saw it while standing in her bedroom, sunlight filtering through the tall curtains at Mills Manor.Her tablet rested loosely in her hand as the headline scrolled past once, then again. Hospice care. End-stage management. Comfort-focused treatment.She read it twice, not because she didn’t understand, but because part of her expected something else to appear.A correction. A reversal. A miracle.Nothing changed.Her thumb locked the screen, and she placed the tablet gently on the dresser, as if sudden movement might disturb something fragile inside her. Her face remained composed, but her chest felt tight, not with panic, not with grief, something quieter, heavier.From downstairs came the m
