From Ex to In-law Chapter 168— A New Beginning
Diana's POVThree weeks later, I sat in our beautiful living room, watching the sunset paint the sky in shades of orange and pink. The house felt peaceful now—like all the darkness had finally been swept away. Raphael walked in with two cups of hot chocolate, setting one down beside me beforesettling into his favourite spot next to me on the couch."I still can't believe it's all over," he said softly, pulling me closer to him. "But there's something I need to know, Diana. How did you do it? How did you save yourself? How did you knoweverything that was happening?"I smiled, taking a sip of the warm chocolate. "You want to know the whole story?""Every detail," he said, his eyes serious. "I need to understand how my wife became so brilliant at detective work."I laughed, but I could see he really wanted to know. So I took a deep breath and started from the beginning."I began to doubt Serena's authenticity after one argument with her I knew the Kensington's so well and there was

Diana's POV"Hello, everyone. I'm glad we're all gathered here," I said, cutting through the tense silence, interrupting Victoria's moment.All eyes snapped toward me. Shock rippled through the room like an earthquake. Raphael was the first to move—rushing across the space between us, wrapping his arms tightly around me."Diana!" he breathed, his voice cracking. "I thought—I thought they were going to kill you.""The truth is... they would have if I hadn't been smart enough," I replied with a small, tired smile. "And I'm sorry, Victoria, but my legs were already aching. Standing too long after everythingwas—well... not ideal."Raphael gently wiped the blood from my forehead, his hands trembling. "Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere else?""I'm fine, baby. Just a scratch," I reassured him softly. But Gramps had had enough."Can someone tell me what the hell is going on here?" he shouted, his voice rising with frustration. "What is this madness?""One moment, please," I said calmly.I
From Ex to In-law Chapter 166— Bargain for Life
Raphael's POVI still couldn't believe my ears. Everything Victoria had said—all of it felt so strange. Diana was doing all these things and I didn't know. She had also helped to free me from the suspicion of about twenty years ago.She also helped me make sure I secured the CEO position. She was and is my angel, and now someone had abducted her."Are you here with us, Raphael?" "Yes, I am here with you.""So what do we do now?" Ciara asked. "We need evidence," Sebastian said."As I am speaking to you right now, I am on my way to the Lorenzo Empire. I am tired of all this—it's time we bring the Lorenzos to an end.""Oh, oh, what end?" Ciara asked."I mean the bad Lorenzos in the family.""But why did you take the proof from the detective Diana had hired? Why not leave it to him to deliver it to her?" I asked."That's because he was about to be killed when I got to him. I saved his life and told him to run for his life because the people that Serena works for are very dangerous. Th
From Ex to In-law Chapter 165— The Real Heiress
Raphael's POVIt's been more than five hours since Diana left our home. She had promised to call when she eventually got to Victoria's, but she hasn't called.I tried calling her, but it wouldn't even connect. Her mechanic had brought her car back home, saying she had called him because it broke down on her way, so she had to take a taxi. But if she did take the taxi, that meant she should have been at Victoria's by now and maybe on her way back."Fuuuck!" I muttered as it dawned on me that I didn't even have Victoria's number. I had thought about calling her, but I didn't have her number.I was confused. I didn't know what else to do, so I called Ciara. She picked up immediately after the first ring."Hello, Raphael."The voice sounded awfully familiar, but it wasn't Ciara's—it was someone else. "Sebastian!""Oh yes, amigo, what's up?""What the hell are you doing with... well, you know what, it's none of my business. Is Ciara there?""Uhm, she isn't here at the moment. She's in the

Diana's POV"Where are you going?" Raphael asked, his voice ragged from sleep."Uh, have you forgotten that Victoria asked to see me today?" I replied while fixing my earrings. "But why are you up so early? It's just—""10 a.m., and it's too early?" I chuckled. "Oh my gosh! It's that late?""Yeah, it is. Oh no, I have to be at the office. This isn't good for the new CEO," he exclaimed."Well, lucky you. Gramps sent a text saying you could stay in today because he understands you might not be ready to resume after what happened."He sat up, disbelief in his eyes. "Gramps said that?""Yes, he said it. You could check the text yourself—it's by your side. That's why I didn't wake you" up."Oh, man! Did I drink a lot last night?"I pointed towards the alcoholic wine bottles that I had already wrapped to dispose of. "You had two of those, Raphael.""Oh my! I did?" he said, placing his hands on his stomach. "Yes, you did, babe."I walked over to the dressing mirror, picked up my gold chain

Riley's POV"I am talking to you, don't you dare work out on me!" Junior yelled."When have I ever not walked out on you before, Junior - please don't even start this right now. I don't have that energy.""Who did you talk to?""I am not obligated to tell you anything""Oh yes, you are obligated to tell me a whole lot, Riley; I am your husband."Laughter erupted from my lungs. "You are what now junior? My husband? And so funking what junior!""You have to show me some respect in this house, I am done being the vegetable."I walked up to him, a wry smile appearing at the corner of my lips "Don't start acting up now, Junior; just continue to be the vegetable you have always been.""What!""You called yourself that, not me", I chuckled."Riley, what did you do inside there?" He said, pointing to the study door. "It's none of your business, juniors. Just pass and pretend not to see.""I can't do that, knowing you, you are probably plotting something deadly and dangerous." He took in a dee
