CHAPTER 16

LIAM

The white envelope sat on my desk like a ticking bomb.

I had requested for another DNA to be carried out secretly. It was one that could not be influenced by Ava. One she couldn't touch. I hadn't told anyone about it.

Just me,the truth and whatever God has left of me.

I stared at the seal on the envelope.

I already knew the results.

Finally,I tore the paper.

My eyes scanned through the paper quickly as I tried to read the medical jargon until they landed on the most important part of the paper – the only sentence that mattered.

Probability of paternity:0.00%

My heart was broken.

I felt used.

I held the paper until my knuckles turned white.

The child was not mine.

He was never mine.

I didn't know how long I sat there.

It could be two or twenty minutes.

When I stood up, I felt something cold and heavy in my chest. It wasn't about Ava’s betrayal but the rage. Not the child. Not Ava. Not Sophia. But myself.

I felt used. I felt weak. I let myself down and allowed myself to

  • Her Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret   Her Name in the Headlines

    Sophia slept soundly that night. She woke up to dozens of messages. Her phone, which was barely charged,kept on buzzing. She finally reached out for it. Clara sent her a message.“Girl, you're on the news. You're trending. But for a good cause this time.”James:“They put your speech on a national show. It's everywhere. Congratulations.”There was also a notification from the Global Woman Magazine. It was a message.“Sophia George Named One of the top 10 Most Influential Women of the Year.”She sat up quickly, blinking away sleep. Was this real?The once-timid woman who was too scared to even stand up and speak the truth was now being heard in every corner of the country. Her name was plastered everywhere. People gathered around to listen to her speech. Different newspapers carried her name. She was everywhere. Her inbox was filled with different requests:podcast invites,interviews, speaking events,panel spots and so many others.Not because she was scandalous but because she was impa

  • Her Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret   A New Beginning with Her Name on it

    Sophia stood before the mirror in her office bathroom, adjusting her clothes, and also fixed her tiny grasp of a gold bracelet her father gave her years ago. It was delicate and precious. It had some words engraved on the inside.“Prepare for Fire.”She didn't understand those words then. Back then, she measured her worth by how much effort she put into keeping her home spotless and her heart quiet. She focused on being a good wife. Back then, when she couldn't stand up for herself. She shrank in arguments and smiled through disrespect.But now?She understood what her father had seen in her long before she did. She could now see what she failed to see then.“What's time?” Clara’s voice echoed through the room.“I'm coming.” She fixed her look one last time and left with the bag.She didn't wear armor today. No makeup. No designer.Just a simple corporate gown, a shoe, and her bag.Because this time she wasn't walking into drama or arguments. She was walking. into celebration.The new center t

  • Her Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret   A Drawn Line

    Chapter 24Sophia stood by the window of the foundation’s legal stand,watching the sunrise across the country. The court summons had been sent . It was official.She had chosen to fight back. Not with scandals or ridiculous pictures. Not with revenge posts. Not even verbal confrontation. But with the law. She's fighting back with the truth.Clara walked into the office with her usual calmness and air of fiery royalty. She held two cups of coffee in her hand. “She has received it.”Sophia didn't turn. “What was her reaction?”“Scared,” Clara said. “She’ll either run or be more dangerous.”“She'll become more dangerous.”“Then we'll wear our armour then.” Clara said while handing her a cup of coffee.Sophia finally turned. Her face looked calm but determined. “I'm no longer scared of her. Let her do her worst.”“You shouldn't be.”“I'm just tired of all these back and forth. I keep wondering when it will end.”Clara said, “It doesn't end. This might just be a sign for you to live beyond

  • Her Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret   Smoke in Her Shadow

    Sophia sat in her office. The silence was deafening. Lucas had left. He officially resigned. His name has already been removed from the foundation website. Emails and messages poured in,curious, suspicious and inquisitive but her team strictly followed the rule.”Internal structuring. No further comments.”She had chosen peace. But peace came with strange things. Even in celebration,she still felt bruised left behind by lies and deception. Trust wasn't broken at once. It tore her in quiet, careful threads.Her phone beeped. It was a message from Clara. Clara: Are you okay? I'm downstairs. You can join me for lunch if you're in the mood.Sophia smiled faintly on seeing the message.Sophia: Come upstairs. I could use food and a real friend.A few minutes later,Clara walked into the office with two takeout bags containing snacks and fruit juice. “Today called for carbs so I came with a lot.”“You always know the right thing to do and I love you for that.” Sophia said while standing up fo

  • Her Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret   The Confrontation

    Sophia stood by the window of the foundation office with the manilla envelope which she held tightly in her hands. She could barely sleep a wink last night. She arrived at the office very early the next morning. The weight of the contents of the envelope felt heavier than any file she had ever held since this journey to healing began. It contains evidence,emails,text messages,a USB file containing voice records. A history of betrayal hidden beneath polished smiles, beautiful appearance and steady eye contact. This betrayal sure hits differently. I once tried comparing it to my already crumbled marriage. Lucas walked into the office with his usual calmness and a smiling face.“You're here early. Is everything okay?”She didn't answer right away. She just turned back slowly and handed the envelope out.He took it while slightly frowning. As he flipped it open and went through the first few pages,blood drained from his face.“Did Ava reach out to you to give you this? He asked,his voice

  • Her Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret   The Visitor with the Truth

    SOPHIA The doorbell rang after noon.Clara wasn't expecting anyone so was I. Clara had left for the day and my schedule for the foundation is open,a silence I hadn't experienced in weeks.I wiped my hand with dish towel and headed to the door. I opened it.A woman stood there. In her mid thirties. She was on braids and had her hair packed in a low bun. Her eyes were clear but looked very tired. She wore a faded nurse scrub with Crocs. She held in her hand a manilla envelope like it held a confession.“Are you Sophia George?” she asked quietly.“Yes. How may I help you?” “My name is Ellen Israel. I worked with Ava at St Matthews hospital.”The name hit me like a spark of dry leaves.I stepped aside. “Come in.”She sat on the edge of the couch,posture tense,as if waiting for the moment I'll scream or tell her to leave. “I saw the Global Woman Magazine”,she started. “I knew I could no longer keep quiet.”I folded my hands. “And what do you want me to know?”Ellen breathed in heavily.”
