Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 144: Christmas
Shirley's POVI didn't expect to stay at William's place past Christmas.I told myself it was just for the holidays. Abby needed the warmth of a familiar presence. I needed a few days away from the apartment that still carried too many memories of Steven. William's home, with its quiet calm, its fireplace and coffee-scented kitchen, had become a kind of soft shelter.But I hadn't planned on New Year's. Or what came before it.It was two days after Christmas when William asked if we'd like to go away for a few days.He waited until Abby had gone to bed before bringing it up. I was sitting on the sofa with a cup of ginger tea, flipping through a book I hadn't really been reading. He sat down beside me, his tone light but deliberate."There's a place I used to go with my family years ago," he said. "It's by the sea. Quiet, not crowded. The kind of place that doesn't expect anything from you."I looked up. "You're suggesting a vacation?"He nodded. "Just a few days. No pressure. But I tho
Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 143: Peaceful
William's POVAbby was finally asleep.She had insisted she wasn't tired—claimed she could stay up all night, even help Santa when he came. But ten minutes after she got under the covers, she was out cold. I quietly pulled the blanket up around her shoulders and turned off the lights in her room, leaving only the nightlight glowing in the corner.When I stepped back into the living room, Shirley was still sitting on the rug, cross-legged, surrounded by torn wrapping paper, ribbon scraps, and a few stray cookie crumbs. She was flipping through the journal I'd given her, running her fingers over the embossed cover.The tree lights blinked softly in the corner, casting a warm glow across her face. She looked calm in a way I hadn't seen in a long time—like the weight she carried every day had been set down, just for a little while.I sat down beside her and reached for my gift again—a vintage mechanical watch she'd somehow found. I hadn't said much when I opened it earlier, but I think sh
Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 142: William's.
Shirley's POVThe supermarket was filled with the scent of pine-scented candles, artificial snowflakes taped to every glass pane, and endless rows of Christmas-themed everything. Abby tugged on my coat, pointing excitedly at the peppermint bark display."Can we get this for William?" she asked. "He gave me marshmallows last time."I smiled and nodded. "Of course."It had started with a quick errand — picking up some cookie mix and a few decorations for the apartment — but somewhere between the gingerbread kits and rows of warm lights, I found myself picking up an extra pack of cocoa mix, an extra set of ornaments, and a red-and-gold wreath that I suddenly imagined hanging on someone else's front door.William's.I stared at the cart. Half of what was in there, I wouldn't have bought just for Abby and me.On impulse, I reached for my phone."Hey," I said when he picked up. "Do you… have any plans for Christmas?"There was a pause. Then his voice came, calm and amused. "Not anymore."I
Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 141: Power
Steven's POVI used to walk into courtrooms with confidence — no, with power. People would nod, whisper, try to curry favor. My name used to mean something in this city. Now, it meant nothing but scandal.I tried calling every lawyer I knew. No one returned my calls. The few who answered offered polite, clipped refusals. Some didn't even try to hide their disgust. One of them — someone I had once shared drinks and dirty secrets with — actually said, "You're toxic now, Steven. No one wants to touch you."That was when I realized how far I had fallen.My publicist blocked me. My assistant ghosted me. Even my former driver sold my location to the press. I wasn't just alone — I was radioactive. The woman I had been seeing, the same one I brought to that stupid charity gala, cleaned out every piece of jewelry I ever gave her and vanished. Not even a goodbye.So I did what I had to do. I sold one of the sports cars, pawned a few watches, and flew in a defense attorney from out of state. He
Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 140: Dr. Wood
Shirley's POVThe courthouse air was dry, recycled, almost sterile. I hated how it smelled — like paper and tired ambition. I had been here before, finalizing a divorce that had already stripped me bare. Now I was back, not for the remnants of a broken marriage, but to reclaim what had been stolen from me — my work, my identity, my voice.Steven sat across from me, flanked by his expensive legal team, polished to perfection, still arrogant. He wore a sleek gray suit, looking more like a man at a networking event than a defendant on trial for intellectual property theft. When our eyes met, he smiled — that same smug, infuriating smile that once tricked me into trusting him.I gripped the edge of my chair. Not this time.When his lawyers took the floor, they wasted no time painting me as a bitter ex-wife seeking revenge."Ms. Ford is leveraging a personal vendetta," one of them said, voice full of dramatic pauses, "to manufacture a professional dispute. The code in question was develope
Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 139: Justice
Steven's POVI've always believed that in this world, it's not about who's right, but who's smarter — who plays the game better. Morals are for the weak; survival is for those who dare to take what they want, no matter the cost. That's the principle I've lived by since the beginning, and it's what brought me to where I was — powerful, respected, feared.And yet, here I am, watching everything I built crumble beneath me.I should've known that Shirley wasn't as fragile as she pretended to be. For years, I played the doting husband while slowly tightening the leash around her neck — limiting her access to the outside world, taking over her finances, presenting her to others as the perfect housewife who willingly gave up her career for love. I convinced her that the world she once conquered didn't matter anymore. She was mine — her time, her mind, her talent — all mine to use, to bury, to steal.When I took that laptop all those years ago, I barely even considered it theft. We were marri
Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 48: Confrontation
Steven's POVI came prepared for a lot of things tonight. I did not prepare to run into her.The business partner I was speaking to was droning on about the latest market fluctuations, but the words blurred into an irrelevant hum. My gaze, suddenly cold and fixed, had found its target at the ballro

William's POV Having Shirley as my driver wasn't the smartest solution.It was impulsive. Unconventional. Entirely inappropriate, by every professional standard I'd once lived by.But it was also the only way I could keep her close—without crossing a line.At least, that's what I told myself.The

Shirley's POV The quiet of the night wrapped itself around me like a heavy blanket. Abby's small body was curled up beside me, her little hand still clutching mine tightly, even in her sleep. Despite the exhaustion that had clearly taken over her, she refused to let go of me, as if somehow, by hol

William's POVThe pain was the first thing I felt when I regained consciousness. A sharp, throbbing ache in my head that made every muscle in my body tense up. My eyelids fluttered open, but everything was blurry, as if I were seeing the world through a fog. I blinked a few times, trying to clear t
