The weekend crawled by.

Arabella spent most of it buried in work reviewing audit files, preparing interview questions, and building her case.

She wouldn't let herself rest. Not until Adrian was dethroned as CEO. Not until Serena paid.

Only then could she look back at her 25-year-old self and say: You survived. You won.

By 6 PM Sunday, she'd finished the review and drafted interview questions for every department.

As expected, she found nothing directly incriminating on Serena.

  • Mr. Sterling, Your Ex-wife is a Famous CEO    Greedy Woman

    Arabella's phone stayed frozen in her ear. She blinked once. Twice. Then Axel's cheerful voice rang through the terminal. “Dad.” Adrian was still standing there, staring back at her. She wasn't seeing things. Adrian was really alive…and obviously well.She didn't even notice when Axel broke free and ran across the terminal until she saw him throwing himself at Adrian. Adrian squatted, hugging him tightly but he never broke his gaze with Arabella. Tears quickly filled her eyes, slowly blurring her vision. Just then, another voice called to her. “Arabella,” Ivan threw himself at her, his hands wrapped tightly around her. Arabella finally broke Adrian's gaze, shutting her eyes as she returned the hug. “Thank Goodness, Ivan. I was so worried about you.” Her voice cracked, her tears falling slowly. “I thought I was never going to see you again.” He cried.For over a minute, they stayed in each other's arms, whispering to each other. All the while, Sebastian stood cluelessly b

  • Mr. Sterling, Your Ex-wife is a Famous CEO    The Reunion

    Arabella’s legs weakened, falling into a squat as the call came to an end. Sebastian who had been watching from behind quickly ran towards her, helping her up. “What's wrong? Did something happen? Who was on the line?” Arabella just stared blankly.Sebastian tried to deduce her mood from the way her face looked, but her face was even more confusing. She had a small smile on her lips, but her brows were creased with worry. “Home.” Arabella finally mumbled. “I need to go home.” She snapped out of her daze and looked up at Sebastian, “Please take me home.” Sebastian didn't hesitate and nodded, quickly helping her to the car.Arabella didn't say anything even in the car. She just punched her location and Sebastian began to drive. She replayed her conversation with Richard over and over again, but still didn't know whether to celebrate or mourn. Richard was vague and straightforward at the same time. He insisted they were okay, but told her to come immediately. That too with Axe

  • Mr. Sterling, Your Ex-wife is a Famous CEO    One More Week

    DENVER HOSPITAL Richard sucked in a sharp breath and sat down on the sofa across from the bed. Isabella stared at him, still very confused by Adrian's statement. Adrian stared at him, eager to get the answer and finally solved the mystery. “I told the president I'd endorse him and fund his re-election.” Richard finally spoke.His jaws tightened, fist clenched, “Even if I suddenly died, that shouldn't give him the right to take it back. I helped him get elected in the first place!’” “What if someone else to him to withdraw the pardon and they'd fund him instead?” Adrian pointed out. “Someone that can wield the same power as you in your absence?” Richard raised his head, locking eyes with Adrian, “What are you trying to imply? That Claudia somehow set this all up?” “If your first thought is her that means we aren't so far from the truth…” “Adrian, enough. Claudia and I have been together for 30 solid years. I know her well enough.” Richard defended. Isabella bit her lip, her fa

  • Mr. Sterling, Your Ex-wife is a Famous CEO    Her Plan

    Sebastian's eyes widened, his gaze fixed on his mother, “Mom, what's going on? What's she talking about?” “I told you to leave.” Claudia mumbled.“Mom?” Sebastian's eyes were quickly filled with fear. He knew his parents weren't the most loving couple. He knew they had their differences. But they tolerated each other. Claudia was ruthless but she'd never…“What? You're going to believe a stranger to me?” Claudia snapped.“No, mom.” Sebastian sounded nervous, “Tell me this conversation didn't happen between you too and I will believe you.” Claudia's jaw tightened. Arabella clutched her hurt arm, waiting for her to deny it. “It happened.” Claudia confessed. Arabella released her arm, eyes wide. 'She admitted it?’ “But that was because I was informed of the crash long before it came on the news.” Claudia explained, “Do you think they'd announce something like this about your father without letting his family know?” A sense of relief washed over Sebastian's face hearing the expl

  • Mr. Sterling, Your Ex-wife is a Famous CEO    First Meeting

    By the time Arabella finally arrived at the front of the manor, she could barely catch her breath. The place was massive.The long private road led up to a huge white stone manor. The grounds stretched wide on both sides, covered in neatly cut grass, tall trees, and perfectly kept gardens.At the front, a line of luxury cars was parked near the entrance—black SUVs, sleek sedans, and a few expensive sports cars that looked freshly washed.An elderly man stood in front of the main door, ready to receive her. “Ms. Arabella, I'm Butler Simeon. Follow please.” “O–K.” Arabella replied in-between two harsh breaths and followed the man. Her legs ached. The pain in her forehead and arm had intensified. She could have left to get treatment, but that could wait.He led her into a visitors’ sitting room.The room was neat and quiet, with cream sofas arranged around a glass table. The floors were polished marble, and the furniture looked expensive but simple. Large windows letting in soft lig

  • Mr. Sterling, Your Ex-wife is a Famous CEO    Gallagher Estate

    Arabella drove for what felt like forever through the Gallagher Estate, passing acres of manicured lawns and lush greenery. The manor was so far from the entrance that even from the security gate, it was little more than a distant outline.She wound down her window when a guard walked towards her, explaining, “I’m here to see Claudia.”The guards looked at each other and then back at her. “You mean Mrs. Gallagher?” Nobody ever called her by that to the extent that most people even forget that was her name. “Yeah. Let me through.” She sounded pissed.But it wasn't as simple as that. They had to get confirmation from their boss. “What's your name?”“Arabella. Arabella Greene.” The guard in the security booth punched a number on the land line. It rang once. Someone answered. “Confirm it Mrs. Gallagher is expecting a guest today. Arabella Greene.” There was an awkward silence for what felt like forever.Then the guard mumbled, “Noted.” Arabella started her car engine, expecting

    Adrian’s fist came down again, a dull, sickening sound filling the room.The guard collapsed against the tiled wall, sliding to the floor, blood already soaking into his uniform. His face was swollen, one eye nearly shut, breath coming out in broken wheezes. Adrian didn’t stop. He barely even looke
