  • I Ruined My Ex-Husband and It Was Worth It   Burning Rage

    Crowley‎‎I stood alone in the private dining room long after Sarah had stormed out, the echo of her words still ringing in my ears. Fuck!! this was not how tonight was supposed to end. I had planned a different evening one where Sarah would finally lower her walls and the tension between us would finally snap, where I could show her that what we had was real. Instead, Marcus had thrown a bomb into the middle of it.‎How the fuck did he know about Alexander?‎The question burned in my mind. I had never told him or even hinted at the child’s existence. I had been keeping Marcus close, playing along with his desperate offers of information, feeding him just enough rope to hang himself with. ‎But this? This was something else entirely.‎I felt genuine confusion mixed with fury. Of course Sarah thought I had betrayed her, she believed I was working with Marcus and using her son as what?. The pain in her eyes when she looked at me had been real, and it hurt deeper than I expected.‎ I h

  • I Ruined My Ex-Husband and It Was Worth It   Heart break

    ‎‎Sarah‎‎I barely made it through the front door before the tears started falling.‎Diane was waiting in the living room. The moment she saw my face, she stood up quickly.‎“Sarah? What happened?”‎I couldn’t speak at first. I just dropped my bag on the floor and walked straight into her arms. The moment she hugged me, the sobs came hard and loud.‎“I’m so stupid,” I cried against her shoulder. “I’m so fucking stupid, Diane.”‎She rubbed my back gently, holding me tight. “Shh… breathe. Tell me what happened.”‎I pulled back a little, wiping my face with shaky hands. Tears kept coming anyway.‎“Marcus knows about Alexander,” I whispered. “He sent a text to Silas tonight.‎Diane’s eyes widened. “Oh my God…”‎“I saw it on Silas’s phone,” I continued, my voice breaking. “And Silas… he acted surprised. He said he didn’t know, he said he was just trying to keep Marcus under control, but how can I believe him? He’s been meeting with Marcus behind my back. He knows things about me…and now

  • I Ruined My Ex-Husband and It Was Worth It   Dark thought of the weakling

    ‎‎Marcus‎‎I sat in my car in the dark parking garage, staring at my phone.‎The message had been sent.‎My hands were still shaking, but for the first time in weeks, I felt something close to power and smiled to myself. A small, bitter smile.‎Finally...finally, I had something she couldn’t control, something she couldn’t hide from.‎Alexander...my son.‎I leaned my head back against the seat and closed my eyes, replaying how I had found out.‎It was stupid, really. So stupid that I almost laughed at myself.‎A few days ago, I had been digging through old emails on my laptop, looking for anything I could use against Sarah. Anything that might help me get revenge and leverage, I opened a folder I hadn’t touched in almost two years. It was a old medical bills from when Sarah was pregnant.‎There it was.‎A hospital invoice dated nine months after she “died.” Payment for delivery and postnatal care. The name on the bill was Sarah Bennett.‎At first, I thought it was a mistake then I c

    ‎‎‎Sarah‎‎The moment I saw the message on Silas’s phone, everything inside me went still.‎Unknown Number: Tell Sarah I know about the boy. We need to talk. — M‎Marcus.‎My stomach dropped and the heat that had been building between my legs disappeared instantly, replaced by pure ice-cold fear and anger.‎I stared at the screen, then slowly looked up at Silas. My voice came out weak and shaking.‎“How the hell does Marcus know about Alexander?”‎Silas opened his mouth, "I didn’t… I didn’t know he knew.”‎“Don’t you dare lie to me,” I said, stepping back from him. “You knew. You’ve known about my son and now suddenly Marcus knows about my son the one secret I kept from everyone?” How? How the hell did he find out?”‎“Sarah, listen to me...”‎“No!” I cut him off, my voice rising. “You listen, I kept Alexander a secret for a reason. I didn’t want Marcus anywhere near him because that man is weak, greedy, and dangerous and now he knows because of you.”‎“Sarah, just hear me out first

  • I Ruined My Ex-Husband and It Was Worth It   DINNER AND DANGER

    ‎‎Silas‎‎The private dining room at Le Jardin was quiet and elegant, soft lighting casting warm shadows over the crisp white tablecloth. The Miami investor, Richard Harlan, sat across from us, talking numbers and expansion plans.‎But my attention wasn’t really on him.‎It was on Sarah.‎She looked stunning in that red dress. Her posture was perfect, professional smile in place, but I could see the tension in her shoulders. The way her fingers occasionally tightened around her wine glass. The subtle flush on her cheeks whenever our eyes met.‎She was still fighting the jealousy from this morning. Still wrestling with the doubt about how I knew about Alexander and sitting so close to me, our thighs brushing under the table, was making it worse.‎I let my hand rest lightly on her knee under the tablecloth, fingers tracing slow, lazy circles up her thigh. She stiffened but didn’t pull away.‎“...and that’s why we’re very interested in partnering with Bennett & Associates,” Harlan was

  • I Ruined My Ex-Husband and It Was Worth It   DOUBT AND DESIRE

    ‎‎Sarah‎‎I stood in front of the full-length mirror in my bedroom, smoothing the red dress over my hips. It hugged my curves perfectly elegant and professional. My hair fell in soft waves, my makeup was flawless.‎I looked beautiful and strong. Ready for a business dinner with the Miami investor.‎But the moment I thought about sitting beside Silas Crowley again, my stomach twisted.‎How could I do this?‎How could I sit next to the man who had secretly investigated me? The man who somehow knew about Alexander the one secret I had guarded with my life? The itch in my brain wouldn’t stop. How the hell did he even find out? It had only been me and Diane with no records or traces.‎And then there was Marcus’s message on Silas’s phone that night in Miami. That single notification had started everything spiraling. What if Marcus knew about my son too? What if he and Silas were working together in some twisted way? What if this whole “partnership” was just a setup to destroy me completel

    ‎Victoria‎‎I couldn't breathe.‎That was the first thing I noticed when I woke up on the third Monday of working at Bennett & Associates. The air felt too thick and my chest felt too tight.
