Jake’s POV

Chapter 32

Her lips were on mine.

Soft. Warm. Hesitant.

For a second, my entire world stopped.

Deep down, I knew this was wrong. I knew we shouldn’t be doing this. But I felt trapped, caught in a moment I hadn’t seen coming.

Andrea’s hands clung to my shirt at first, but then she slowly moved them, sliding up to the back of my head. Her fingers curled into my hair, caressing it softly. I heard the faintest sound—a low, breathy moan escaping her lips.

My body betrayed me.

I wasn’t supposed to let this happen.

I wasn’t supposed to want it.

But I did.

Just as I felt myself sinking deeper, reality crashed down on me like a violent wave.

What am I doing?

This wasn’t supposed to happen.

Andrea wasn’t in the right state of mind.

I was taking advantage of her vulnerability. It didn’t matter that she kissed me first—she had been drinking, she was hurting, and I should have stopped it the moment her lips touched mine.

This isn’t about me. This isn’t about what I want.

I forced myself

  • Ex-Husband’s Nemesis   End of the Act

    Chapter 123Claire’s POVEverything was going fine tonight. I just sat and watched with a smile, happy my plan had come to perfection. Luke picked the perfect people to play as my parents. They looked and played the part so well, if I didn’t know better, I would’ve fallen for their act too.“I hope you’re enjoying the food,” Jason’s mother said, her voice warm as she looked across the table.“Oh yes, very delicious,” my supposed father replied, wiping at the corner of his mouth with a linen napkin.She chuckled, clearly pleased. “I’m glad you like it.”“We sure do,” my fake mother added, nodding gently. “Thank you for taking good care of my daughter. She has nothing but good things to say about you and your family.”I had picked the outfit, my fake mum, was wearing myself because I knew how much Jason’s mum cared about fashion. She wore a silk gown worth millions, a large pearl necklace, and a designer bag. All of it was from my boutique. I’d have to put them back after tonight. Funny

  • Ex-Husband’s Nemesis   The end of the lie

    Chapter 122Jake’s POV“It had to be either Jason or Claire,” I said, gripping the steering wheel tighter. I looked at the rearview mirror again, this time the car was two cars behind us.“What if it’s the anonymous sender?” Andrea asked, her voice low.“I don’t think this is the anonymous sender,” I replied, my tone firm. “Just a strong instinct. And you noticed it recently, right?”“Yeah,” she nodded. “A few days ago.”“What’s the coincidence that this happened after the will has been read?” I asked, glancing at her. “This has to be Jason or Claire,” I said again “Are you sure?” she asked “Not completely,” I admitted, keeping my eyes on the road. “Just a strong feeling.”Andrea didn’t respond. She just tapped her fingers nervously on her thighs.I knew it bothered her. She didn’t look scared, just… uncomfortable at the idea of being watched.I tapped the steering wheel twice before making a sudden right turn without warning.Andrea jolted in her seat. “What are you doing?” she as

  • Ex-Husband’s Nemesis   Who is Claire

    Chapter 121 Andrea’s POV I stirred the coffee in front of me for the third time. I hadn’t taken a sip since I ordered, but I don’t know why stirring it just kept me a bit busy. Ding. I heard the shop bell, I looked toward the entrance again, but it still wasn’t her. I leaned back in my chair. Jake must’ve noticed my restlessness. “Don’t worry, Andrea. She’ll be here. Maybe she’s stuck in traffic.” “Or changed her mind not to see me,” I replied. I had contacted Ruth, my college friend. She was closer to Claire, they were best buddies before I came into the picture. Don’t know what happened between them, but the friendship became sour. I needed her because the investigator had gone on a business trip and told us to wait till he was back to run a background check on Claire. Seeing how we didn’t have much time and didn’t want to give it to a random investigator, I thought Jake and I could get whatever information we could instead of just sitting and doing nothing. That’s when Ruth

  • Ex-Husband’s Nemesis   The price of deception

    Chapter 110Claire’s POVI was flipping through fabric samples on my desk, trying to figure out which of them was best to add to the store collection.I heard a knock on the door.“Come in.”The receptionist walked in. “Ma, your mother-in—”Before she could finish, Jason’s mother brushed past her, looking annoyed.“Did you expect me to stay outside and wait for you? What are you teaching your workers, Claire?” she said to me with a proud smugness.“Get out of my sight, you fool,” she yelled at the receptionist.“Sorry, ma,” she bowed quickly and rushed out.“You should be lucky I’m in a good mood today. I would’ve had you sacked.”“Sorry, ma,” she bowed again and locked the door.Why the hell was she here? I stood up and walked to her.“Sorry about that, Mum. It won’t happen again.”“It better not,” she said, walking to the couch like she owned the place and sat down.“Welcome,” I greeted, forcing a pleasant smile as I stood beside her.She smiled back and reached out to touch my stom

  • Ex-Husband’s Nemesis   Uncovering the truth

    Chapter 119Jake's pov“Isn’t it amazing how the universe works?” I said to Andrea as we drove home.“Luck is actually on our side,” she replied, glancing out the window. “But we shouldn’t celebrate just yet. Nothing is confirmed.”“I know, Andrea.” I gave a slight nod. “But I don’t know why I just have this intuition that the clause might work in our favor. My grandfather was one smart man. I should’ve known he wouldn’t just hand things over freely.”Andrea smiled, then hesitated before speaking. “Jake, I want to ask you a question, and you need to answer truthfully. Did you know about the clause that you had to marry into a noble family?”I took my eyes off the road for a second to look at her. Her face was unreadable, calm but searching.. “No,” I said, shaking my head. “I wasn’t aware of that at all. I was just as shocked as everyone else when the lawyer mentioned it. If I had known, I would’ve told you.”“Hmmm… okay.” She leaned back in her seat. “I was just thinking, maybe that

  • Ex-Husband’s Nemesis   Fabricated life

    Chapter 118Claire POVShit, shit, shit.“I’m fucked! Ughhh!” I screamed as I paced around one of the guest rooms.Jason and his family were still downstairs, but I couldn’t stay there with them, not with the way I’m feeling right now. My heart was pounding so fast I could barely think. I pressed my hands to my chest, trying to breathe, but I couldn’t stop whispering:What am I going to do?What am I going to do?I staggered back. My back hit the wall, and I let myself slide down. My legs were too weak to hold me. I still couldn’t breathe. I hadn’t felt this scared in all my life, and it was because of that dead old man.All this is happening… because of that clause. “Married to a noble and influential family,” my foot. Why did that dead, foolish man have to do this to me? That dead man wants to ruin all my dreams and destroy everything I’ve worked for.Everything was already perfect and in place. I’m married to Jason, and enjoying the life that comes with being tied to a rich and inf
