CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHT: REACHING THE BREAKING POINT

ZOEY

———

“Christian?” I called again, because my brain refused to accept the obvious. But he kept his eyes on the road like nothing was happening.

I quickly scanned the car with my eyes. The leather seats, the expensive interior, the quiet engine… this wasn’t a fucking taxi. How had I missed it?

Had he followed me? Had he been following me?

I scoffed in disbelief, averting my eyes back to him. My chest tightened with a new hot, rising anger.

“Stop this car,” I ordered, keeping my voice low despite the unmistakable sharp edges that lingered.

But he continued to ignore me. My hands balled at my sides.

Breathe, Zoey. Let’s not make a scene. I’d already gone through so much this evening, and I won’t let him make it worse for me

“I said… stop. The. Car.” I forced the words out, each one clipped like the edge of a knife.

Still nothing.

My blood boiled. “If you don’t stop…” I kept my voice dangerous and calm, which somehow felt worse than

  • My Ex Cheated, So I Got Hotter!   Ch 079: All Hail The Party Crasher!

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE: ALL HAIL THE PARTY CRASHER!ZOEY———I’d never seen Christian look so shaken. His usual stoic mask was replaced with the hard lines of worry and something like fear. My stomach tightened. What the hell happened?Did that asshole Chuck try something? Anger flared inside me, at the thought. I moved toward them, but Christian closed the gap in long, fast strides and caught my wrist before I reached him. His hand was big and firm, but somehow gentle.“We have to leave. Now.” His voice was flat and urgent.I paused, staring at him like he’d lost his mind. Leave? After I just got here? After all the plans? “What the hell, Christian?” I demanded, tugging at my wrist. He held on tighter.“Please,” his voice was low now. His eyes softened into a plea. “Just listen to me. Just this once. Please, Zoey.”His look should have scared me into obeying. Instead it made my head spin. I mean, he’d helped me pick this dress. He knew how much tonight meant. I’d spent days on tha

  • My Ex Cheated, So I Got Hotter!   Ch 078: Real Or Fake?

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT: REAL OR FAKE?CHRISTIAN———The music throbbed softly in the background from the live violin playing, as I watched the party from my table, with my fingers tapping against my wine glass. I checked my wristwatch again. Zoey was running late.She’d insisted I go ahead without her. Said she wanted to make a “special entrance.” Alone.I wasn’t sure what that meant. Made me wonder what she could be planning in that pretty head of hers. I exhaled and took a long sip of wine, my gaze drifting across the garden where Daisy and Chuck’s engagement party was ongoing. The rest of the guests were laughing, clinking glasses, and fawning over the bride-to-be. I scanned around for Chuck but didn’t see him anywhere. I had spotted him earlier, though I doubted he’d noticed me…“Well, well, well,” came a voice from behind me, edged with mockery. “Look who we have here.”I turned my head. Chuck circled the table like a shark, pulled a chair, and sat beside me. His grin was tight

  • My Ex Cheated, So I Got Hotter!   Ch 074: Jackpot

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR: JACKPOTZOEY———“Hey! Hands off her!” Camille lunged at Sage and shoved him hard. He staggered back, and she yanked me behind her like I was the last thing she’d protect. My scalp throbbed where his fingers had tangled my hair, and I kept breathing shallow, tasting iron at the back of my mouth.“I always had this feeling that you were a grade-A asshole, but you lay a hand on a woman? On my best friend? You’re dead meat!” Camille’s voice trembled with anger. Before anyone could see it coming, she grabbed him and drove a low, brutal kick into his groin.“Fuck!” Sage dropped to his knees, the sound tearing out of him.Scarlett’s face drained of color. Her eyes flew up in disbelief as she watched her trembling brother. She averted her gaze back to Camille, angry. “What have you done—”“Touch one strand of my best friend’s hair again and I’ll rip one of your tits off next time,” Camille cut in. Scarlett went still, like someone had thrown cold water on her rage. Ev

  • My Ex Cheated, So I Got Hotter!   Ch 073: Meeting My Step-Siblings

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE: MEETING MY STEP-SIBLINGSZOEY———A WEEK LATER“We’re here,” Camille announced as she pulled up in front of a gated mansion. The place looked less like a home and more like a private estate: tall gradiometers, endless lawns, and enough greenery to make a park jealous.Two guards dressed in dark uniforms started toward us, their expressions unreadable through the car glass.“How may we help you?” one of them asked, stopping by Camille’s window. The guy was built like a tank. He was dark-skinned with sharp jawline, and arms that could probably lift the car. Just like she always does when she sees a cute guy, Camille’s lashes went into overdrive, and she bit her bottom lip like she was in a perfume commercial.“Hi, handsomeee,” she sang.I rolled my eyes so hard it almost hurt and leaned in. “I’m Zoey Anderson, and this is my best friend, Camille Bronx. We’ve been invited by Attorney Bernett.”The guard’s face shifted immediately. Recognition flashed in his eyes.

  • My Ex Cheated, So I Got Hotter!   Ch 072: Revenge Dress

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO: REVENGE DRESSCHRISTIAN:———The door opens after I rang the doorbell twice and I am surprised to be greeted by Zoey’s most cheerful face. There were no tears like I’d expected. “Hey.” She waved at me cheerfully, her hair pulled up in a messy bun. “I’ve been waiting for you.”I couldn’t say a word. Just a little taken aback by her cheerfulness. My eyes trailed down her body. She was wearing a singlet that had her nipples peeking through the thin fabric, and there was a jeans bum shot on her body. She looked fucking hot. “Come on, in.” She said, grabbing my hand and leading me inside, shutting the door behind us. She led me upstairs. “I need your help with something.”“Are you okay?” I couldn’t stop myself from asking as I followed her to her bedroom which was a hell of a mess. Heaps of clothes were on the bed and her wardrobe was wide open with some clothes on the floor too. She looked up at me, her smile still on her face but her brows knitted together. “Yes,

  • My Ex Cheated, So I Got Hotter!   Ch 071: Real Vs Fake

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE: REAL VS FAKECHRISTIAN———“Here’s everything I’ve managed to dig up on him,” Alex was saying but I barely looked at him. My gaze stayed fixed on Zoey’s house through the tinted glass of my car. We’d been parked out front for nearly ten minutes, Alex in the driver’s seat and me sitting behind him, lost in my own thoughts.I cannot help but be worried about her. Even though she’d stormed out of the production house earlier with all that sass and confidence, plus that unforgettable slap she gave Scarlett, I couldn’t stop wondering if she was really doing okay. If she’d fallen apart once she was alone.“Based on what I’ve found and what the private investigators reported, there’s nothing suspicious about Chuck so far,” Alex continued.That made me finally turn my attention to him. He was scrolling through his tablet, eyes moving across photos of Chuck, taken secretly over the past two weeks. Some shots showed him walking down the street, others at restaurants or me
