Ex-husband, Step Aside Chapter 41: The Queen's Rise
pov: Sloane I sat in the conference room and listened to the announcement. They called my name as Forbes’ Woman of the Year. Gabriel squeezed my hand under the table. Daisy jumped up and clapped loudly. I thought, this is really happening to me. Gabriel whispered in my ear that he was proud. Daisy hugged me tight and said I deserved it.We left the event and drove home together. Gabriel drove the car while Daisy chatted about the award. I stared out the window and wondered how my life changed so fast. Gabriel asked if I wanted to celebrate with dinner. Daisy suggested ice cream instead. I agreed to both ideas. We stopped at a restaurant first. Gabriel ordered my favorite dish. Daisy talked about school and her friends.At home, we watched a movie in the living room. Gabriel sat next to me on the couch. Daisy fell asleep halfway through. I thought about the award and what it meant for my career. Gabriel carried Daisy to her bed. He came back and pulled me close. We finished the movie
Ex-husband, Step Aside Chapter 40: Ex-husband, Step aside
POV : Sloane I stood at the entrance of the grand hall, greeting guests as they stepped inside. They approached me with polite smiles, offering formal handshakes before moving further into the celebration. I focused on maintaining calm control, determined to ensure the evening unfolded without a single flaw.Adrian appeared suddenly among the elegantly dressed crowd. He walked toward me with a desperate kind of certainty, his eyes fixed on mine. When he stopped in front of me, his voice trembled slightly as he said, “Please, let’s talk.”I thought to myself, after all the betrayal and everything he put me through, he still has the nerve to beg for my attention. He believes I should listen as if nothing happened. My patience evaporated at the sight of him.He spoke again, more urgently this time. “We can reconcile and start over,” he insisted, reaching forward as though he intended to grab my hand. I shifted my stance, refusing to allow him even that small connection.With a steady vo
Ex-husband, Step Aside Chapter 39: the night we burn
Pov : Sloane I sat across from Gabriel in the quiet room after our wedding; and now it was night. He poured wine into my glass, and I took a sip, his eyes looking at me full of want. I felt my heart beat faster as we talked about the ceremony, but the words did not matter much, so I leaned closer to him.Gabriel set his glass down; he reached for my hand, and I let him take it. We stared at each other for a moment, looking deeply into each other's eyes, then he pulled me toward him. Our lips met in a kiss, starting the intimacy we had waited for on this wedding night.The kiss started soft; I opened my mouth to him, his tongue touching mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck; he held my waist tight, and we kissed deeper now. This was all I needed at the moment, building the heat between us slowly.I pulled back a little. "Gabriel," I whispered; he smiled at me. "Sloane," he said back, and I kissed him again, this time it felt urgent; we continued with more touches, our hands beg
Ex-husband, Step Aside Chapter 38: She's married
ADRIAN’S POVWhen the notification sound came from my phone, I picked it up without expecting anything important. I thought it would be a reminder or a random message, nothing more. But the moment I saw the headline on the screen, something inside me tightened so strongly that I lost my breath for a second. I stared at the words and tried to make sense of them, but the sentence was clear. It said Sloan and Gabriel’s marriage had been confirmed publicly.I blinked several times, hoping I was misreading it, but the message did not change. I opened the link attached, and the full story appeared. My hand shook a little as I scrolled through it. Each line felt like a blow. My mind kept repeating the same words: “She is married, She is really married now.” I felt a strange heaviness settling in my chest.I kept reading even though every sentence harmed me more than the last. I saw the part where they mentioned Gabriel, the CEO of Hale Enterprises. Of course, Sloane had partnered with
Ex-husband, Step Aside Chapter 37: The bail
ADRIAN’S POVWhen I stepped inside the apartment after my release on bail, I expected to hear Mia’s voice. I waited in the doorway for a moment, thinking she would come out from another room. Nothing happened, and the silence felt strange. I said her name softly, but the air stayed still.I walked farther in and looked toward the bedroom. I called out again, hoping she was sleeping or hiding from the noise outside. Still nothing. I felt a small worry begin to rise in me, but I tried to push it down.When I opened the wardrobe, I froze. The spaces where her things once sat were empty. I checked again, hoping I was wrong, but I saw nothing of hers. My chest tightened as I tried to understand what I was seeing.I moved to the drawer where I kept some money. It was open, and the stack that used to be there was gone. I checked another drawer where I kept gold and other items. The box was empty. I held the edge of the drawer as my hands grew weak.“She left,” I said to myself quietly. “She
Ex-husband, Step Aside Chapter 36: The arrest
Pov: Sloane I sat on the couch in my silk pajamas, staring at the television screen as the late-night news flashed images of police cars outside Adrian's office building. My heart raced with a sudden rush of joy when the anchor announced his arrest for fraud, and I whispered to myself that this was finally the end of his hold on me. Gabriel squeezed my hand tightly, his eyes wide with shock, but inside I thought, at last, I am free from that monster who called himself my husband.The gala had ended hours ago, leaving me exhausted from smiling at strangers and pretending everything was perfect in my life. I had changed into comfortable clothes and poured a glass of wine, thinking the night would be quiet after all the fake laughter. Then the breaking news alert came on, and there was Adrian's face on the screen, handcuffs glinting under the lights as officers led him away, and I felt a wave of relief wash over me like cool water on a hot day.Gabriel turned up the volume, his voic
