Ex-Husband’s Nemesis A step forward, A step back
Chapter 12 Andrea's pov It’s been a week since I arrived back home. My parents had tried their best to make sure I got whatever I wanted. I appeared strong to them, but when I was all alone, I cried myself to sleep. I just couldn’t help it. I missed my unborn child, and the feeling of betrayal was still so fresh in my heart. I knew I needed to be strong to get past this, but I’m human, and pain doesn’t just disappear overnight. Night after night, I wondered if Jason could still sleep peacefully, even after what he had done to me. I wondered if he and his family ever felt remorseful for setting me up and ruining my reputation. My influencing career was thriving—yes, Jason was rich, and even my parents were richer—but I wanted to build something on my own. When I was topping the list as one of the best influencers in the city, I felt fulfilled. But now, everything I worked hard for was gone, all because I was married to my enemy. Yes, Jason was an enemy, and it took me 15 yea

Chapter 13The time to meet Jake finally came. I had been on edge since the call, and my curiosity was still getting the best of me. I didn’t like the fact that just hearing Jason’s name still made me uneasy. It felt like, even though he wasn’t here with me, I was still giving him some kind of control over me. How else could I explain the anxiety rushing through me since I talked to Jake yesterday?After a quick shower, I picked a simple red top and blue jeans from my wardrobe. I didn’t want it to look like I was putting in too much effort. I glanced at my face in the mirror. I no longer looked as pale as I did when I first got home. My skin had some color again. I packed my hair into a neat ponytail, applied a little foundation and gloss, and I was set to go.As soon as I locked my room, I saw my mother standing right in front of me.“Are you going somewhere, baby?” she asked, looking at me with curiosity.“Yes, Mom. I have a meeting with Jake,” I answered.Her lips curled into a tea

Chapter 14 Jake’s words echoed in my head like a warning bell that wouldn’t stop ringing, but I refused to let my face betray any emotion. I sat still, resting my chin on my hands, pretending to be unbothered. He spoke as if he was certain Jason was searching for me, determined to find me no matter what. But why? What was the use? I was out of his life now. He had already taken everything from me—wasn’t that enough? “Can I get some water?” I asked, my voice calmer than I felt. My throat was suddenly dry like I had swallowed dust. Jake tilted his head slightly. “Are you sure you don’t want anything else, Andrea?” “Whiskey would be a better option,” I thought bitterly, but I couldn’t say that out loud. “Just water is fine.” Jake nodded and called the waiter. A young man in his twenties appeared, dressed in jeans and a polo shirt with the café logo on it, a waist apron tied around his hips. He held a notepad and pen, his friendly smile in stark contrast to the heavy conversation a

Chapter 15A light tap on my shoulder pulled me back from sleep.“Ma’am, we’re home.”My eyes opened slowly. Paul stood by the car door, waiting. I didn’t even realize when I had dozed off.I sat up, rubbing my eyes. “How long was I asleep?”“Not long. Do you want me to get an umbrella?” Paul asked.I shook my head. “No, I’m fine. And thanks for today.”“You don’t have to thank me, ma. Just doing my job,” Paul answered with his usual calm expression.I stepped out of the car, greeted by a cool breeze. A light drizzle was falling, making the ground smell fresh and earthy.“Andrea, darling.”I turned to see my mother standing at the front door, smiling warmly.“Hi, Mom,” I replied, forcing a small smile.“I heard the car drive in, and I just knew it had to be you,” she said, walking forward. “I’m sure you’re cold, darling. Go get changed, and I’ll make some hot tea for you.”I nodded and made my way upstairs. Once inside my room, I shut the door and leaned against it. The quiet was nice

Chapter 16 I couldn’t make sense of the situation. My heart pounded, my hands trembled, and sweat gathered at my temples. I knew this feeling. It was fear.I looked at the screen again, staring at the message. If the sender wanted to scare me, they had succeeded.My grip on the phone tightened. My breathing was unsteady.It had to be Jason.Who else would benefit from tormenting me like this? But how did he get my number? Only my parents and Jake had it. I had texted Claire before, but I was sure it wasn’t her. She had always stood by me… there's no way she gave it to him also I hadn’t been able to reach her lately.That left Jake.I hated the thought, but it lingered in my mind. Could Jake have given Jason my number? A part of me refused to believe it. I had seen the tension between the two of them. Jake hated Jason just as much as I did—maybe even more. It didn’t make sense for him to help Jason.But if it wasn’t Jake, then who?My mind raced through the possibilities. Could it be

Chapter 17 I sat in my father’s study room, staring at the folder he had given me. I had asked him for some materials about the company before meeting with the board. I wanted to get myself ready. The folder was filled with company reports, market analysis, and upcoming projects. I had spent the last few hours going through them, trying to familiarize myself with the business I was stepping into.The Sinclair Corporation wasn’t just any normal company. It was an empire that had been passed from generation to generation, and now it was in my hands. It was a huge responsibility that needed my commitment. I had been trying to avoid this path all these years, wanting to make a name for myself on my own terms. But now, things have changed. I needed power, and this was the first step toward reclaiming control of my life.A knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts.“Come in,” I called.The door opened, and my mother stepped in, carrying a tray with a cup of juice and some cookies.“I th

Chapter 18 I stood before the mirror, adjusting my outfit one more time before heading downstairs to meet my father. The white blazer fit perfectly, and beneath it was a silky navy blue blouse, paired with high-waisted trousers. The entire outfit looked elegant and professional. My mother’s fashion sense was still top-notch—she had gone shopping yesterday and picked everything out herself. She called it her gift to welcome me into the company. By the time I made my way downstairs, my father was already waiting in the living room. My mother stood behind him, and they seemed to be in the middle of a conversation. “Oh dear, look at you,” my father said with a big smile. “I can see you’re ready, Andrea.” “More than ready, Dad.” “Good morning, Mum. Good morning, Dad,” I greeted them both. “You look gorgeous, Andrea,” my mother said warmly. “Thanks, Mum.” “Let’s be on our way,” my father said after checking his watch. He stood up, adjusted his suit, and pressed a quick kiss to my
Last Updated : 2025-03-05Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Whispers
Chapter 19 I followed Jake down the hallway. To my surprise, he didn’t say much, he kept a straight face as we walked. The office was large, with glass walls separating different departments. Everyone looked busy with their tasks—some typing away on their computers, while others discussed work in low voices. But the moment I passed them, the atmosphere shifted. People turned, stealing glances at me. Their whispers grew softer, their eyes filled with curiosity, hesitation… and something else. I could hear them. “That’s her… Jason’s ex-wife.” “I heard she cheated on him and lost her mind.” “Why is she here?” “Didn’t she disappear after the scandal?” I kept walking, my face blank, my posture straight. None of this surprised me—I had prepared myself. People would talk. The lies Jason spread about me had already been planted in their minds. Bad news always spreads faster than the truth. But beneath the whispers, I sensed something else. Fear. They gossiped, but not lou

Ex-Husband’s Nemesis A sudden blow
Chapter 103 It had been three days since I woke up in the hospital. Three days of trying to focus on the sunlight coming through the window instead of the shadows still living in my head. Three days of seeing my parents’ tearful faces, feeling the weight of their worry every time they looked at me. And three days of Jake not leaving my side, not even once. This morning, he was on the couch, curled up awkwardly with one arm over his face. He looked uncomfortable but peaceful, like he hadn’t had real sleep in days. A tray of untouched food sat on the table beside him. He hadn’t eaten much since I got here. “Jake,” I called softly, my voice still scratchy. He shifted, pulling his arm away from his eyes, blinking at me like he wasn’t sure if I was really awake. “You can go home,” I said. “You’ve tried already. My mum can stay with me. You should freshen up and sleep properly.” Jake sat up slowly, rubbing his face. “I’m not complaining.” “I know,” I said. “That’s why I’m telling y
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Finally safe
Chapter 102Poom…Poom…Poom…That was the first thing I heard.Soft. Steady. Like a heartbeat, but outside my body.I didn’t know where I was. My eyes were still closed. Everything felt heavy. My arms, my chest, even my thoughts.But that sound kept going.Poom… poom… poom…Like it was reminding me I was still here.My fingers twitched. The air around me was cold, sterile, but safe. Different.I blinked slowly, once, then again. Light rushed in, too bright at first. My lids fluttered open, and everything looked blurry, like I was underwater.It took a few seconds, maybe more, for things to settle.White ceiling. Pale blue curtains. Machines.The beeping beside me made sense now.A soft weight tugged at my hand. I turned slowly, my head barely shifting. A clear drip was taped into the back of my hand, the IV line running up to a bag hanging beside the bed. My wrist and foot were wrapped. Cleaned. Bandaged.I was in the hospital.I was alive.My chest rose shakily. Tears pricked my eye
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis The Escape
Chapter 101Andrea’s POVI knew something was off the moment I woke up.The mood was different tonight.No footsteps echoed in the hallway, no keys jangled, no harsh voices barked orders. The house was filled with the normal coldness, but it was lively.Beyond the metal door, I heard it. Music. Laughter. The clinking of glasses. Voices muffled but happy.They were celebrating.My stomach turned, not from hunger this time, but anticipation.I stayed still for a moment, my back against the cold wall, heart pounding so loud I was afraid someone might hear it. My wrists were sore and scabbed from the ropes, but my mind was clear and sharper than it had been in days.Something’s different.They hadn’t done their usual check. No footsteps outside my door. No voices. No shadows under the crack.Maybe… maybe this was it.The metal shard I had hidden days ago pressed against my thigh beneath the blanket. My one sliver of hope. I’d been waiting for the right moment. Waiting for the smallest cra
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Helpless
Chapter 100Jake’s POVThat’s exactly how I felt. Two days—forty-eight damn hours and still no trace of Andrea. Never in my life had I ever felt this restless. I hadn’t had a good night’s sleep since she disappeared. And whenever I did doze off, nightmares followed. The same one every time, Andrea, crying out for help, begging, afraid. I’d jolt awake, drenched in sweat, unsure if the dream was real or not.I poured myself another glass—the third one tonight. The first had done nothing. The second only made my head spin worse. My hands trembled slightly as I lifted the glass.These past few days had forced me to face something I’d been avoiding for a long time—how much I truly cared about Andrea. How much I loved her.Yeah. Love. I hadn’t wanted to admit it before, but this fear, this desperation was the kind of pain that only love brings.I dropped onto the couch and ran a hand down my face. I couldn’t just sit here and do nothing. But what else could I do? We’d already gone to the po
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis The edge of survival
Chapter 99Andrea's pov There was no clock in the room. No window, no sun, no ticking hand to mark the passing of time. But somehow, I knew it had been close to two days. My body told me. The aching bones. The heaviness behind my eyes. The way my stomach twisted and turned—not just from hunger, but from fear.Two nights. Two damn nights.I had slept. I wasn’t sure when or how, but the dreams had been hollow and sharp-edged, like broken glass on repeat. Every time I woke up, I hoped it was all over. That the door would burst open and I’d be rescued from this pain and torture. But no. Same walls. Same cold floor. Same silence.Except when they came.They didn’t speak. They just came in—faces masked, eyes dull—and dropped food like I was some stray they had to keep alive. After the last time I’d tried to run, they no longer untied my hands. One would hold me still while the other brought the spoon to my lips. No words. No looks. Like I wasn’t human. Like I wasn’t even there.My throat b
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Disappeared
Chapter 98 Jake's pov It had been 24 hours since we had heard nothing from Andrea. No calls, no texts, nothing—no sign. The silence was deafening. Everyone in the house was in a panic. Andrea’s mother had been restless. She sat scrunched on the edge of the couch, her eyes swollen from crying, hands wringing a tissue that had long since given up holding anything back. Her father paced by the window, arms folded tightly, a muscle ticking in his jaw every time his phone lit up with nothing. “Where could she be?” her mother whispered, barely audible over the ticking clock. “What if… something had happened to—” She burst out crying, unable to finish the sentence. Andrea’s father walked to her, holding her hands, trying to console her. “She’s fine, darling. Andrea is a strong girl. Nothing has happened to her. Maybe she needed space. Maybe she’s trying to clear her head.” But even he didn’t believe it. None of us did. I sat there, my leg bouncing uncontrollably, trying to calm the
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Tied and Terrified
Chapter 97Andrea's pov I jolted awake, my neck aching from the awkward position I’d dozed off in. I must have slept off out of tiredness, or maybe I just wanted to escape this terror so badly. For a fleeting moment, I hoped it was all a nightmare—that if I just closed my eyes and slept, I’d wake up in the comfort of my bed, thinking about the bad dream I had.But reality slapped me faster than any pinch could.I was still here. Still tied. Still trapped.The same damp air filled my lungs. The faint buzz of that godforsaken light above hummed in my ears. I blinked, trying to clear the haze.I shifted slightly. The ropes binding my hands and feet hurt my skin. My mouth was dry, and my stomach growled in protest.“Can I have some water?” I called out weakly.But there was no response.“Is anyone there?” I screamed.Still no response.“Ughhh…” I breathed out in frustration.Time seemed to blur. I had no idea how long I’d been here. Minutes? Hours? A whole day?Panic trickled in slowly—n
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Where's Andrea???
Chapter 95Jake's pov I checked my watch for the third time in ten minutes.Four hours.Four whole hours.I’d been sitting here, surrounded by wedding gowns and impatient whispers from the boutique staff, waiting for Andrea to walk through that door. But nothing.No call. No text. Nothing.My phone sat heavy in my palm, screen dim. I tapped it, then called again. Her number went straight to voicemail like it had the last four times. I ran a hand through my hair and exhaled slowly, trying to keep calm.Maybe she got stuck in traffic. Or maybe her mum dragged her into something.But something about this—this stillness—wasn’t sitting right.The boutique door finally opened with a jingle. I looked up, half-expecting to see Andrea, annoyed or flustered, maybe rolling her eyes at how late she was. But it was her mum.“Sorry I’m late,” she said, smoothing her purse strap as she walked in. “I had a few things to sort out. So, how many gowns has she tried on?” she asked with a smile as she go
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Kidnapped
Chapter 95When I opened my eyes, everything felt wrong.The first thing I noticed was the ache in my neck, a pulsing stiffness that crawled down my spine like ice. The second was the bitter sting of rope cutting into my wrists, binding me to the arms of a wooden chair. My legs were tied, too—--- -tight, I couldn’t move. My heart launched itself against my chest.Panic bloomed before I could stop it.Where the hell was I?The room was dim, too quiet. Cold air brushed against my skin—cement floor, no windows. There was a faint hum from somewhere above, like the buzz of a fluorescent light, but nothing else. No footsteps. No distant voices. Just… me.And fear.I tried to remember. The last clear moment was getting into that taxi—yes, I’d told the driver where to go, buckled my seatbelt. Then… the car slowing, a strange silence, and his hand—gloved—pressing something over my nose.A handkerchief.My blood ran cold.“Oh my God,” I whispered, the words scraping out of my dry throat. “No, n
