A loud gasp rippled through the room, followed by a collective murmur as everyone froze in stunned silence. The slap echoed like a gunshot, cutting through the elegant atmosphere of the auction hall. Shock painted the faces of the elite crowd—hands flew to mouths, fans fluttered in nervous gestures, and the rich aroma of wine and polished wood now mingled with the tension.

Raina stood motionless, her hand instinctively pressed against her cheek. A sharp stinging sensation radiated from the spot where Jessica’s palm had landed. Her eyes widened slightly—not out of pain, but out of disbelief. She hadn’t expected things to go this far. Words? Maybe. A glare? Absolutely. But a slap?

Across the room, Lucas observed the scene with a raised brow, curiosity piqued. He hadn’t imagined Jessica capable of delivering a public slap, especially not in front of high-ranking investors, billionaires, and elite socialites. But now that it had happened, he was oddly satisfied. Let’s see how Aaron handle

  • Ex wife’s Revenge    Chapter 58

    The heavy silence in the auction hall was disturbed only by the quiet, shaky breaths of terrified guests. The air had grown thick with tension, pressing down like a suffocating blanket on every soul trapped inside. The flickering chandelier above cast eerie shadows across the room, bouncing off the terrified eyes and pale faces of men and women who had once strutted through the grand doors with pride and arrogance, now reduced to frightened spectators.Raina sat trembling beside Aaron, her back rigid, her hands trembling violently in her lap. Her chest rose and fell in erratic bursts, eyes wide and glassy with fear. The shrill sound of the ringing phone still echoed in her ears, haunting her like a ghost. Though the noise had stopped, its consequences lingered like a curse in the air. That ringtone… it had felt like a death sentence.And in a way, it just might have been.Behind her, Jamie sat perched like a smug vulture, her fingers laced together as a wicked smirk slowly crept acro

    Raina sat quietly on the cold marble floor, doing everything she could to steady her breath—but her body had a mind of its own. Her chest rose and fell in sharp, uneven bursts, and no matter how tightly she pressed her hands together, they wouldn’t stop trembling. A chill had settled in her spine, sinking into her bones. The opulence of the auction hall—the chandeliers, velvet curtains, gold trimmings—felt so distant now, like the ghost of a dream.She wrapped her arms around herself tightly, drawing in as much strength as she could from the warmth of her own skin. Slowly, her hand drifted down to her stomach, resting gently over the soft satin fabric of her gown. It was an unconscious movement, instinctive—protective.And the moment her palm made contact, something inside her cracked.Fear, panic, helplessness.A swirl of emotions stormed through her all at once, nearly knocking the breath from her lungs. Her baby. Inside her. Vulnerable. Dependent.This can’t be happening.The words

    The echo of the gunshots was still ringing when Aaron ducked instinctively, adrenaline surging through his veins. His phone slipped from his hand, bouncing once against the polished floor before landing near his foot. His breath was shallow, and his heart raced as he crouched in the small corner just outside the main auction hall, shielded for the moment from view.“Aaron? Aaron?! What was that sound? What is going on?” his mother’s voice cried from the phone’s speaker—shaken, panicked. She had heard it. The gunfire.Aaron’s fingers hovered over the phone. He wanted to answer. He wanted to tell her he was okay. But that would be a mistake. If any of the masked men heard him… if they realized he was talking to someone outside…Without saying another word, Aaron quickly ended the call. His hands moved fast, dialing again—this time 911. But just as his thumb hovered over the green button to call, he heard it.Click.The unmistakable sound of a gun cocking directly behind his head.He fro

    The air buzzed with a thick mixture of excitement, envy, and satisfaction as Aaron settled back into his seat. The final number had been called—seventy million dollars. And the winning paddle had been his.A hush had briefly fallen over the crowd after the gavel slammed down, followed by a wave of murmurs and scattered applause. It wasn’t just a win—it was a statement. After the fierce head-to-head bidding war with Lucas, Aaron could finally exhale. This wasn’t about the car. It never had been. It was about pride, legacy, and drawing a clear line in the sand.He didn’t even glance at Lucas. He didn’t need to.Instead, his gaze drifted to the sleek car on display, bathed in soft golden lighting. The body of the car shimmered under the chandeliers—smooth, predatory, almost alive. It was a rare piece of engineering brilliance. Still, seventy million was a ridiculous amount to spend. He wasn’t blind to that.A quiet chuckle escaped his Lips. “Maybe next time,” he murmured to himself, “you

    Kai paced behind one of the pillars near the far end of the event hall, jaw clenched, his eyes stormy. The hum of conversation, the clinking of champagne glasses, and the echo of polite laughter blurred around him, but he felt none of it. His focus was on one thing—Jamie.She had disappeared into the crowd right after her little public stunt, leaving a trail of whispers and curious glances in her wake. He finally spotted her standing nonchalantly near a tall decorative plant, swirling a drink in her hand as if nothing had happened. Her poise only ignited his frustration further.Without hesitation, Kai stormed toward her and grabbed her arm, pulling her aside into the shadows of the hall, where no one could overhear them.“Are you insane?” he hissed through gritted teeth.Jamie jerked her arm free, completely unfazed. “What is your problem now?” she asked with cool defiance, tilting her head as if he were the one overreacting.“What is my problem?” Kai echoed, nearly laughing in disbe

    Aaron gave Raina—who stood silently behind him—a long, unreadable glance. Her posture was tense, her eyes fixed on the floor as though the weight of the world was crushing her. He remembered the time she told him about her former personal assistant. The betrayal. The heartbreak. How she walked in on her assistant and her ex-fiancé. Her voice had cracked with pain then, not the kind you could fake, and as he looked at her now, he could see that same vulnerability in her eyes.There were only two explanations: either Raina had lied to him from the beginning, spinning a perfect victim narrative—or everything Jamie was saying now was just bitterness dressed as truth.But deep down, he already knew.The way Raina looked at him—the flicker of shame, confusion, and quiet strength—wasn’t the look of someone hiding guilt. It was the look of someone being unfairly cornered again. And Aaron had had enough.“Enough,” his voice rang out, low but commanding, slicing through the sea of whispers and
