My Ex-Husband, You Will Never Hurt Me Again Chapter 21
Ryan sat out on the back patio, the night stretched wide and silent around him.The cigarette burned between his fingers, glowing red in the dark every time he pulled in a slow, steady drag.He was frustrated.And yet, somehow, impressed.Sophie Hendricks was reckless, stubborn, relentless.She didn’t know the world she was stepping into .. not really.. but she didn’t flinch. Didn’t back down. Even when she should have.And maybe that’s what was getting to him.Ryan puffed out another slow breath of smoke, letting the sharp burn settle deep in his lungs. He hated how drawn he was to that fire in her.It was the same thing that usually got people killed.And yet... it was his type. Always had been.Bold.Defiant.Unbreakable.He cursed under his breath, crushed the cigarette under his boot, and straightened.Enough standing here thinking about things he shouldn’t be thinking about.Sophie wanted in on this world? Fine.But she was going to have to prove she could survive it first.He s

Bruce’s Office — New YorkThe phone rang once, twice before Bruce snatched it off the receiver.“This better be good,” he growled, sinking back into the leather chair behind his desk.He didn’t have time for more half-assed updates. His patience was wearing thin, and the walls around him were starting to close in.“Señor Calloway,” Carlos Herrera’s voice came through the line, smooth but tight. “We have a problem.”Bruce’s jaw tensed. “Go on.”Herrera hesitated for a beat too long. “She’s sniffing around. Elena Maxwell. She set up a meeting tonight under a false name. Wanted information about the offshore accounts.”The silence stretched dangerously.Bruce’s fingers drummed once against the desk, sharp and quick.“Are you sure?”“She slipped out before I could confirm it completely,” Herrera admitted. “But it was her. I’m certain.”Bruce leaned forward, elbows on the desk, the weight of the situation hitting him squarely in the chest.Elena Maxwell was supposed to be dead.And if it w

The soft clink of glasses, low murmurs, the steady shuffle of cards.. everything hit me at once as I stepped into the poker lounge.The place oozed wealth and danger, the thick scent of cigar smoke heavy in the air. Red velvet curtains lined the walls, crystal chandeliers hanging overhead, throwing fractured light over the room.This wasn’t a place for tourists.It was a place for wolves.And tonight, I was pretending to be one of them.The black wig itched under my hat, the heavy diamond earrings pulling at my ears. A simple black dress, expensive heels, a look of boredom painted on my face.. Valerie DeLuca, potential investor, bored heiress with too much money and nowhere to spend it.I slid through the crowd, careful not to move too fast, careful to blend.The high-stakes poker tables were in the center, surrounded by men in suits that cost more than most people made in a year. Women draped over arms like accessories, laughter that didn’t quite reach anyone’s eyes.I spotted him

I managed to escape.Barely.The moment I slipped out of that office and back onto the street, I felt like I could breathe again.. but it was a shallow, broken kind of breathing. The kind you do when you know you’re not safe yet, not even close.On the way back to Ryan’s mansion, my mind was swirling. I sat in the back seat of the cab, hands clenched in my lap, staring out the window but not really seeing anything.Why?Why had Bruce been tracking me before we even met?It wasn’t just some sick obsession. It wasn’t just about control. It couldn't be.There was something bigger. Something I wasn’t seeing yet.By the time the cab pulled up to Ryan’s estate, the sun was dipping low, casting long, heavy shadows across the driveway. The whole place looked colder somehow, more foreboding. Maybe it was just me.I stepped out, my legs stiff, my mind still caught in that office with those files.Ryan was waiting.He stood near the front steps, arms crossed, face carved into stone. His eyes nar

I had planned it all out.Wake up early. Slip out unnoticed. Get what I needed and get the hell back before anyone realized I was gone.Simple.Except I hadn’t accounted for Ryan.I should have known.I should have felt it.. the weight of his watchful gaze, the silent calculation in the way he studied me.But I had been too focused on not falling apart.And now, standing in the dimly lit back hallway, with Isla hurriedly unlocking the door for me, I felt him before I even saw him.A quiet shift in the air.A flicker of movement.Then.. “Going somewhere?”I froze.Slowly, I turned my head.. my pulse pounding, my stomach twisting.. until I saw him.Ryan stood just a few feet away, leaning casually against the wall, a cigarette balanced between his fingers. The faint orange glow of the ember barely lit his face, but his eyes?His eyes cut through the darkness.Unbothered. Observant.Knowing.I swallowed, my mind scrambling for something.. anything.. to say."Er.. I was just…"Ryan inhale

“Now, I’m confused,” Sophie muttered, pacing the room, her phone pressed tightly to her ear. “You were the one behind my early release? Why didn’t you tell me?”Mrs. Janet’s voice came through the line, steady and familiar. “Would you have listened if I had?”Sophie stopped mid-step, exhaling sharply.Fair point.Her entire body was still thrumming with the leftover adrenaline of the past few hours.. the attack, Jonas’s call, Ryan’s infuriating mix of cold logic and reluctant concern. Now, this? She pressed a hand to her forehead. “You had that kind of influence this whole time?”“I had enough,” Mrs. Janet replied. “And I used it where it mattered.”Sophie let out a breathless laugh, shaking her head. “God… I don’t even know what to say.”A pause. Then, softer, “You needed time, Sophie. You needed to become who you are now.”Sophie stopped pacing, her back stiffening. She swallowed hard. “You think I’ve changed that much?”“You wouldn’t be standing where you are if you hadn’t.”The
