Natasha's POV~

I was seated on the velvet chair, my laptop broadcasting Valenticia’s Lovtan summit speech, and each word hit me like another pin to the flesh. Standing at the podium in a sapphire gown on Saturday, her voice steady: “Those lies — created audios, fake contracts — won’t break Clawford. We’ll get up with New Dream, constructioning Wyllbron’s future.” Her composure was maddening, a slap to my plots, her jade hairpin-like a crown I’d never wear. The pain burned in my che

  • My Ex-wife is a Hidden Heiress!   Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Nine

    A New Foundation (Epilogue)Valenticia Six months had passed, yet there were still moments when I paused and took a breath just to remind myself that everything I had fought for was finally mine.The office looked different now, even though the structure itself had not changed. The glass walls still reflected the city, the conference rooms still carried the same polished design, and the steady rhythm of work still filled the space. But the atmosphere had shifted in a way that I could feel every time I walked through the doors.This company no longer felt like something I was struggling to hold together.It felt stable.It felt strong.And most importantly, it felt like it belonged to me.I stood at the head of the boardroom table that morning, reviewing the final report that had just been presented. The numbers spoke clearly. Growth had returned. Investor confidence had stabilized. Partnerships that had once withdrawn were now fully restored and expanding beyond what we had projec

    The ChoiceValenticiaThe hospital hallway felt quieter than I expected when I stepped out of the elevator. The air carried that clean, sterile scent that always made everything feel distant and controlled. My heels moved softly against the polished floor as I walked toward his room, each step steady even though my thoughts were anything but.I had spent the entire morning trying to prepare for this moment, yet nothing about it felt simple.Too much had happened.Too many truths had come to light.And now, for the first time since everything began, I was walking into a conversation that would not be controlled by anyone else.Not by the board.Not by Lucas.Not even by fear.When I reached his door, I paused for a brief moment with my hand resting on the handle. I took a slow breath, steadying myself, before pushing it open and stepping inside.The room was quiet.Lucas was seated upright against the hospital bed, the white sheets drawn neatly around him. The sharp, composed image h

    The AftermathPOV: Third Person The police station felt colder than usual that morning, even though nothing about the building had changed. The fluorescent lights above cast a steady glow across the interrogation room, and the faint sound of movement echoed from the hallway beyond. Officers passed occasionally, their footsteps measured and controlled, as if the events of the previous night had already been reduced to routine.Stefan sat across from two detectives, his posture upright but visibly tense. There was a faint bruise along his jaw, and his shirt carried the marks of smoke and dust from the warehouse. He had not bothered to change. There had not been time for that.One of the detectives leaned forward slightly, with his pen resting above a notepad.“Let’s go through this again,” he said calmly. “You arrived at the warehouse after tracking Dimitri. What happened next?”Stefan exhaled slowly before answering. His voice was steady, but there was a weight behind it that had no

    Truth and FireValenticia’s POVEverything started to fall apart at once.The warehouse had already been tense before, but now it felt like the air itself had turned unstable. Every word that had been said hung heavily between us, and no one seemed willing to step back anymore. Dimitri stood across from Lucas with a look I had never seen on him before. It was no longer just anger or frustration. There was something deeper in his expression, something unsteady that made my chest tighten.“Stop this,” I said, my voice sharper than I intended as I looked between them. “This has gone too far already.”No one listened.Stefan stepped forward, his focus locked entirely on Lucas. “You think you can just twist everything and walk away from it?” he demanded. “You think she won’t see what you’ve done?”Lucas remained still, his posture controlled despite the growing tension around him. “This isn’t about what I think,” he replied calmly. “It’s about what actually happened.”“That’s exactly wha

    ConvergenceDimitri’s POV“I’m done waiting.”The words left my mouth slowly, but the moment they did, I knew I meant them completely.The room around me was dim, the only light coming from the television that continued to play muted news segments on repeat. The same headlines kept flashing across the screen, the same images of Valenticia standing beside Lucas, the same carefully controlled narrative being fed to the world.I had watched it for hours.Too many hours.Empty glasses sat scattered across the table in front of me, some tipped over, others half-filled, but none of it had slowed the thoughts running through my head. If anything, it had only made them louder. Clearer. Sharper in the worst possible way.Everything had reached a point where doing nothing was no longer an option.I leaned forward slightly, pressing my fingers against my temple as I forced myself to focus.I had what I needed.Stefan’s proof.Documents. Fragments. Enough to raise serious questions. Enough to s

    The OfferValenticia’s POVThe moment I stepped into Lucas’s penthouse, I realized immediately that tonight was different.The space was quiet, but not empty. Soft lighting spread across the room in a way that made everything feel calm and controlled. The glass walls stretched from floor to ceiling, revealing the city below in full view. Lights from buildings reflected faintly across the polished surfaces inside, and the entire place carried a sense of order that felt intentional rather than decorative.Nothing here was accidental. Everything had been arranged with purpose. Including this dinner.I paused near the entrance for a brief moment, taking it all in before my eyes moved toward him.Lucas was standing near the dining area, already waiting.He was dressed simply, but still precise. A dark shirt, sleeves slightly rolled, no tie, no jacket. It was a more relaxed appearance than I had seen on him before, but it did not take away from the controlled way he carried himself. If a
