2025-10-26 01:01:56“Sir! The main investor from our European branch just pulled out!”
Rafael’s assistant almost shouted as he burst into the chaotic office. Rafael shot him a sharp look from behind the desk, his face pale from sleepless nights. “What did you just say?” “The association terminated the contract unilaterally, sir. They said our company’s reputation has dropped since the news of Miss Alyssa’s marriage to Mr. Ethan spread across the media.” The assistant’s voice trembled as he lowered his head. BANG! Rafael slammed his fist onto the desk, sending a pen flying across the room. “They’re backing out because of media gossip?! This is business, not a love drama!” But deep down, Rafael knew — it wasn’t just the company’s reputation that had fallen. Everyone was leaving because they all knew the truth: he was no longer the man in power. --- Meanwhile, in the towering headquarters of Ethan Group, the massive screen in the boardroom displayed a sharply rising graph. Alyssa sat beside Ethan, dressed in an elegant white suit, calm and composed, a digital pointer in her hand. “The merger strategy with the Asian subsidiary succeeded,” she said confidently. “But our next step is expansion into the energy sector. We need to take it before Rafael does.” Ethan looked at her with pride. “You sound like a true leader now.” Alyssa’s lips curved slightly. “I learned from the wrong person. Now I want to do it the right way.” The meeting ended successfully. The directors filed out, leaving only the two of them in the quiet room. Ethan turned toward her, his tone soft. “You know… every time I see you like this, standing so strong, I realize more and more — you don’t need anyone to shine.” Alyssa smiled faintly. “Maybe. But this time, I don’t mind sharing the light with someone.” Ethan chuckled quietly, his gaze warm. “You know, Rafael must be regretting letting you go.” Alyssa looked out through the tall glass window at the golden city skyline. “He didn’t lose me, Ethan. He lost himself. Because when he lost me… he lost the only person who ever truly cared.” --- At Rafael’s office… Papers littered the floor, files stacked messily across his desk. Rafael paced back and forth, his breathing heavy. “Maya! Where’s Maya?!” his voice thundered through the room. Maya appeared at the doorway, anxious. “I’m here, darling. What’s wrong now?” “What’s wrong? Everyone’s leaving me!” Rafael shouted, pointing at his laptop screen — where a bold headline flashed across a major business site: > ‘Ethan Group and Alyssa Holdings Launch International Energy Project — Surpassing Rafael Corporation!’ Maya’s eyes widened. “That’s… the project you planned last month!” “Yes! And somehow they got the full blueprint!” Rafael slammed the desk again. “Someone leaked it!” Maya froze, her fingers twisting nervously. Rafael’s eyes narrowed suspiciously. “Don’t tell me… it was you.” Maya flinched. “What? Me? Rafael, that’s insane! Why would I—” “Because I saw you with that man at the hotel last week!” Rafael cut her off harshly. “Maya, do you think I’m blind?” Maya stiffened, her face tightening. “I was just talking business—” “Business?!” Rafael roared. “Don’t take me for a fool! Now everyone’s laughing at me because you couldn’t keep your mouth shut!” Tears welled up in Maya’s eyes. “You never change, Rafael… always blaming everyone but yourself. Maybe if you hadn’t spent your life destroying others, yours wouldn’t be falling apart right now!” Rafael’s hand almost struck her — but he stopped himself at the last second. Maya stepped back, trembling. “Get out,” Rafael said coldly, his voice low and dangerous. “Before I really lose control.” Maya turned away, tears spilling down her cheeks as she left the room — leaving him alone in the suffocating silence. Rafael sank into his chair, staring blankly at the news photo of Alyssa and Ethan smiling for the cameras. His eyes reddened, his voice hoarse as he muttered under his breath, “You think you’ve won, Alyssa? You think you can live happily without me?”

Love Betrayed by Ex-Wife Revenge Chapter 151 End
The city learned to say her name differently after the war ended.Not whispered. Not shouted.Measured.Alyssa stood at the highest window of the tower that now bore her signature—not carved in stone, not announced on plaques, but felt in the silence that followed every decision made inside it. The industry had not healed. It had rearranged itself around her.Markets stabilized. Rivals retreated. New predators circled at a safer distance.No one came close enough to bite.Behind her, the office was quiet. Not the tense quiet of plotting, but the rare kind earned only after devastation—when all lies had been burned and only truth remained, scorched but intact.Ethan leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, watching her reflection instead of her back.“You’re thinking too loudly,” he said.Alyssa didn’t turn.“That’s how you know I’m still alive.”A faint smile tugged at his mouth. He walked closer but stopped just short of touching her, as if instinct still warned him: she is fire,

Silence came in layers.It was not the fragile kind that followed chaos, trembling and unsure. It was the heavy, deliberate silence of something that had survived war and chosen to stand still—not because it was weak, but because it no longer needed to prove its strength.Alyssa stood alone in the highest office of the building she now ruled.The city spread beneath the glass walls like a living organism—lights pulsing, traffic flowing, ambition breathing in neon veins. This empire no longer felt like a battlefield. It felt like a throne forged from bones and patience.She loosened the cuff of her blazer and rested her palm against the cold glass.Once, she had thought victory would feel louder.She had imagined triumph as applause, fear in others’ eyes, the satisfaction of watching enemies fall. But what she felt now was quieter—sharper. A calm that came from knowing no one could corner her again. Not with threats. Not with love. Not with promises soaked in poison.Behind her, the do

She stood alone at the top floor, where glass replaced walls and the city bowed beneath her feet.The boardroom behind Alyssa was silent—not because it was empty, but because no one dared to speak. Directors sat stiff in their leather chairs, men and women who once believed power was inherited, traded, or stolen quietly in back rooms. Today, they understood something else.Power could also be claimed.Alyssa rested her palms on the obsidian table, her reflection fractured across its polished surface. She wore no crown, no extravagant symbol of victory. Only a tailored dark suit, sharp lines, restrained elegance. Control didn’t need decoration.“This meeting is not a negotiation,” she said calmly. Her voice carried without effort. “It’s a declaration.”Across the table, the last remnants of resistance shifted uncomfortably. Legal advisors, interim executives, foreign observers—each had come prepared for arguments, leverage, threats.None had prepared for certainty.“The acquisition att

The city did not know it yet, but a new war had already begun.Alyssa stood before the glass wall of her office, watching the skyline glow with cold lights. Every building out there represented power—money, influence, ambition sharpened into steel. She had conquered most of it. She had survived Davin. She had rebuilt an empire with her bare hands and bloodied resolve.And still, danger found her.“They’re not like Davin.”Ethan’s voice came from behind her, calm but heavy.Alyssa didn’t turn. “No,” she replied. “They’re worse.”The file on her desk lay open, pages spread like an autopsy report. International investors. Offshore funds. Quiet acquisitions. No public face, no loud threats—only precise movements designed to suffocate from the inside.Predators who didn’t roar.“They don’t want control,” Alyssa continued. “They want ownership.”Ethan walked closer, stopping beside her. His presence was familiar now—not comforting, not soft, but solid. Like a blade she had finally learned h
Love Betrayed by Ex-Wife Revenge Chapter 147
The city lay quiet beneath a sky the color of old steel, the kind of calm that only came after too many storms. From the top floor of the building, Alyssa watched the lights below flicker like distant embers—remnants of fires she had started, survived, and learned to control.Her office no longer felt like a battlefield. It felt like a scar: healed on the surface, aching underneath.She stood with her arms crossed, back straight, posture flawless. Power had reshaped her body language the way pain reshaped her heart.Behind her, the door opened without announcement.“You’re still awake,” Ethan said.She didn’t turn. “You’re still here.”A pause. Heavy. Loaded with months of unsaid things.“I wasn’t planning to leave tonight,” he replied.“Good,” Alyssa said. “I wasn’t planning to ask you to stay.”That was how they spoke now—like knives wrapped in silk.Ethan stepped closer, stopping a careful distance behind her. He looked different. Leaner. Quieter. The recklessness that once defined
Love Betrayed by Ex-Wife Revenge Chapter 146
Ethan didn’t knock.He never did anymore.The door to Alyssa’s private office opened with a quiet certainty, the kind that came from someone who no longer asked for permission to enter her world. Alyssa didn’t look up from the holographic display floating above her desk, streams of financial projections and international headlines reflecting faintly in her eyes.“You’re late,” she said flatly.Ethan closed the door behind him. “You told me not to be early.”“I told you not to be predictable.”A corner of his mouth twitched, but there was no humor in it. Outside the glass walls, the city burned with neon and ambition—new investors circling like sharks, rumors spreading faster than truth. Alyssa’s empire stood tall, but it was no longer alone.He stepped closer. “The Zurich group confirmed the move.”That got her attention.Alyssa flicked her fingers, dismissing the display. She leaned back in her chair, folding her arms slowly. “Already?”“They didn’t wait for Davin’s shadow to fade,”
