[Elena]

I stepped out of the cab, letting my bag rest lightly on my shoulder. The building in front of me was tall and sleek, all glass and steel, with Crestwood Holdings engraved above the entrance. It looked official, the kind of place that made you pause for a moment before stepping inside.

"Miss Elena," a familiar voice called, and I turned to see James walking toward me, suit crisp and posture professional as always. "Good to see you here."

"Same here," I replied, offering a small smile.

"You have to come with me," he said, and I fell in step behind him. The lobby was quiet, clean, and professional. We reached the elevators, and he pressed the button, then gestured for me to step inside.

The ride was short, and when the doors opened, I followed him down a long corridor to a polished office. He motioned toward a chair by the desk.

"Please, have a seat," James said. "The boss will be here shortly to finalize the payment with you."

I stared at him my brow creasing together. "The bos

  • Ex-husband, You Broke The Wrong Woman    Chapter 216 - I have failed enough!

    [Asher]I failed Elena again.I failed Darian again.If I couldn’t protect my own son under my own roof, then what exactly was I good for?What exactly?Was I even fit to call myself a father or even a Langston anymore?My name carried weight. It carried fear. People trembled at the mention of it.But what was the point of a name like that if I kept failing the people I should be protecting?Knowing I couldn’t even do the bare minimum—protect my son—made my chest ache with something close to disgust.I saw the signs.I saw them, and I ignored them.I noticed something was wrong when Imelda was acting strange outside Darian’s room. I felt it in my gut, that quiet warning I had learned never to ignore.And yet, I ignored it.I fucking ignored it—even when Elena warned me. Even when she told me Vienna was capable of anything. Even when she said Vienna could use the staff to get to Darian.And now here we are.Exactly what Elena had warned me about. "I can’t track any of the numbers, dud

    [Elena]"We need to call the police, Raph. We need to." My voice cracked as the words spilled out of me, sharp and desperate. My lips trembled violently as I shook my head over and over again, like if I did it enough, this nightmare would rewind itself.My eyes shifted to the phone in my hand, and the message was still sitting right there. Unmoving.Every hair on my body stood on end as Vienna's message rang in my ear over and over.Raphael growled under his breath, his hand tightening around my arm, grounding and restraining me at the same time. "Princess, can you just calm down and look at me?" he murmured.How can I?How can I calm down when a psychopath has my baby? How can I fucking calm down?"Please, Elena just look at me," Raphael mumbled, his hand tracing small circles on my back.I took a slow deep breath, my chest heaving, my lips pressed tight as I stared up at him.His eyes were dark, his jaw clenched."Can you listen to me?" Raphael mumbled, and I nodded repeatedly, wipi

  • Ex-husband, You Broke The Wrong Woman    Chapter 214 - Get out of my trap!

    [Vienna]The moment I sent the last message, a smile curled up my lips.Not the quiet type. The ones that meant I've gotten exactly what I wanted.That kind of smile when you can see clearly that the ball is right in my court.I know Elena was at that house when I sent that message. And I know she just drove out not too long ago.You want to know why?Because I have more spies than Asher can ever imagine in that house.Remember, I employed almost all of them, which means I have all their information.I just had to threaten the ones I needed, knowing they would immediately dance to my tune."Ma, please you can't hurt her. She's my only sister...she did nothing wrong." Imelda, Darian's nanny, sobbed from where she was kneeling, staring at her little sister, who was tied up, her head slumped forward. Unconscious.Of course, I had to go overboard for them to do what I want.The way they are answerable to me is the same way they are to Asher.So I knew that if I wanted them to disrespect A

  • Ex-husband, You Broke The Wrong Woman    Chapter 213 - Are you ready to do that?

    [Elena]A scream ripped from my throat before I could stop it. "No...no..no!""What’s going on?" Asher’s voice cut in beside me, sharp and confused, and almost immediately he stepped closer.I didn’t look at him.My eyes were glued to my phone, the screen blurring and sharpening all at once as my heart slammed violently against my ribs. The words I had just read replayed in my head like a gunshot, loud and disorienting, over and over again.My fingers went numb.My mouth opened, but nothing came out at first."Vienna." The name slipped out like it had clawed its way up my throat without permission.Asher stilled."What?" His brows drew together. "What did you say?"Before I could react, or say something, he took the phone from my hand.I watched his face as he read.The shift was instant.Color drained from his skin so fast it was almost terrifying to watch. His jaw slackened, his eyes darkening, widening just slightly like something inside him had snapped into place."Shit!' Asher gr

  • Ex-husband, You Broke The Wrong Woman    Chapter 212 - What I'm made of

    [Elena]"He should be in the playroom," Asher said suddenly, his hand curling tightly by his side as he rushed toward the room.Of course.I nearly cursed myself for not checking earlier.He pushed the door open.I rushed past him."Darian?" I called.Nothing.The room was clean, toys arranged neatly. No mess. No signs of a child who’d been in here and playing.My stomach churned."There’s no way," I whispered."I’m sure he’s downstairs," Asher said quickly, forcing a small laugh that didn’t sound convincing at all. "He plays a lot, you know," he mumbled, rushing out of the room.Sweat broke out along my back.Asher rushed down the stairs and I followed, my steps uneven, my pulse hammering so loudly I could hear it in my ears.He stopped so suddenly at the foot of the stairs that I nearly ran into his back.The same woman I had seen earlier stood in the living room, the vacuum still humming weakly beside her, its cord trailing across the floor.Asher’s fingers curled into fists."How

  • Ex-husband, You Broke The Wrong Woman    Chapter 211 - Are you still half asleep?

    [Elena]I didn’t know what the feeling was at first.I just knew it was there—heavy, settled deep in my gut, refusing to be ignored.Something was wrong.No.Not just wrong.Something was wrong with my child.The moment I shut my eyes last night, Darian’s face greeted me behind my eyelids. Not smiling. Not laughing. Just… pale. Too pale. His lips were faint, his eyes dull, his small body still in that hospital bed like time had frozen and refused to move forward.It felt too real.Too familiar.When I woke up, I told myself it was nothing. A bad dream. I told myself that it was just trauma clinging to me because I’d almost lost him once.But the feeling didn’t leave.It stayed. Sat heavy in my chest. Wrapped tight around my ribs.You know that feeling—when it’s like an invisible hand is squeezing your heart while another force drags you forward at the same time, urging you to move, to do something, even when you don’t know what.That was it.That was exactly it.I tried to ignore it.
