Elena’s POV

The heavy rain pounded relentlessly against the concrete floor of the underground valet garage, casting long, dark shadows beneath the flickering overhead fluorescent lights. The sharp scent of damp earth, exhaust fumes, and cold cement hung thick in the stagnant air. I stepped out of the private executive elevator flanked by two Vance Global security guards, holding a dark leather portfolio tightly beneath my arm. We had just finalized the legal acquisition of another key urban rea

  • My Husband Chose His Ex When I Was pregnant   Chapter 68

    Elena’s POVThe heavy mahogany doors closed behind me with a firm, echoing click, locking out the quiet hum of the federal marshals in the hallway.Margaret stood in the center of the vast, dusty drawing room, her hands shaking violently as she clutched a heavy velvet jewelry box to her chest. Her eyes were bloodshot, surrounded by dark, sunken shadows, and her expensive velvet robe was streaked with dirt and grey dust from dragging old trunks out of the attic."Get out of my house," Margaret spat, her voice trembling with an volatile mix of outrage and pure terror. "You have no legal authority to stand on these floors! This estate is protected under the Cole family trust! My attorneys will have you arrested for trespassing before the afternoon is over!""Your family trust was dissolved at eight o'clock this morning by executive order of the federal bankruptcy court, Margaret," I said smoothly, taking three deliberate steps forward. My heels clicked against the polished parquet floor

  • My Husband Chose His Ex When I Was pregnant   Chapter 67

    Elena’s POVThe news cycle was relentless.By six o'clock on Friday morning, every major financial network, global print outlet, and social media feed was running the exact same front-page headline in bold, black lettering: THE FALL OF COLE ENTERPRISE.Images of Damien’s signed confession, leaked from the federal prosecutor’s office, flashed across the wall-mounted monitors in the private war room of Alistair Vance’s coastal estate. Analysts discussed the immediate collapse of the market, the emergency receivership seizing Cole Tower, and the shocking downfall of the thirty-two-year-old multi-billionaire who had once ruled the city with an iron fist.I sat at the long teak conference table, wearing a crisp tailored grey suit, holding a hot cup of black tea in my hands. I watched the television screens in total silence. My pulse didn't race, and my chest didn't tighten. The girl who had wept in the dark servant room, terrified of Damien's shadow, was dead and buried."You did it, Elena

  • My Husband Chose His Ex When I Was pregnant   Chapter 66

    Elena’s POVI sat behind my teak desk, staring blindly at the glowing tablet screen in front of me. The morning financial reports were already rolling in: Cole Enterprises had entered emergency corporate receivership. News outlets worldwide were running front-page headlines detailing the total, shocking financial collapse of Damien Cole's empire following his erratic, fatal overbid at the Continental auction.A quiet chime sounded from the security console on my desk.I tapped the screen, bringing up the live security feed from the perimeter gates down at the coastal highway. Through the driving rain and thick fog, a single figure was walking up the long, winding driveway on foot.It was Damien.He didn't have an umbrella, an escort, or an armored car. His suit jacket was gone, his white shirt was soaked through and plastered to his skin, and he was walking barefoot across the freezing gravel driveway, having dragged himself five miles from the main road in the middle of the night."M

  • My Husband Chose His Ex When I Was pregnant   Chapter 65

    Damien’s POVThe air inside the subterranean auction room at the Grand Continental was thick with cigar smoke, heavy cologne, and the silent, ruthless stench of desperate money. This was not a public charity gala. This was an exclusive, off-the-record bidding war for the primary shipping concessions of the Northern Atlantic maritime corridor—a vital, multi-billion-dollar trade artery.If Cole Enterprises lost this auction, our remaining European supply lines would completely collapse by the end of the month. Bankruptcies would follow within weeks.I sat alone in the front row of the velvet-draped theater, staring at the digital auction board above the stage. I wore a plain black suit, my tie loosened, my hollow eyes dark and sunken. I hadn't slept in three days. My hands rested in my lap, unmoving, cold, and heavy as lead."Mr. Cole," Arthur, my chief advisor, whispered frantically from the seat behind me, leaning in so close his voice rattled against my ear. "We have tapped our absol

    Elena’s POVThe heavy rain pounded relentlessly against the concrete floor of the underground valet garage, casting long, dark shadows beneath the flickering overhead fluorescent lights. The sharp scent of damp earth, exhaust fumes, and cold cement hung thick in the stagnant air. I stepped out of the private executive elevator flanked by two Vance Global security guards, holding a dark leather portfolio tightly beneath my arm. We had just finalized the legal acquisition of another key urban real estate tract from Cole Enterprises, systematically severing yet another major revenue stream from Damien's rapidly shrinking domain.As we crossed the wide bay toward the waiting armored sedan, a sudden, ragged scream shattered the quiet hum of the garage."You dirty, scheming little rat!"A disheveled figure scrambled out from behind a massive concrete support pillar, lunging wildly toward me with frantic, uncoordinated strides. She was virtually unrecognizable at first glance—her filthy desi

    Elena’s POVThe early morning fog hung thick and heavy over the jagged coastal cliffs, wrapping the dark grey ocean far below in a blanket of absolute, unbroken silence. The damp coastal wind carried the sharp, salt-heavy scent of the sea, biting aggressively against my skin, but I welcomed the icy chill. The cold kept my mind clear, sharp, and focused on the work that lay ahead.I stood near the sheer edge of the cliff, fifty yards past the fortified perimeter security gates of Alistair’s private grounds. Tucked away in a quiet, shaded grove beneath three ancient pine trees sat a small, polished white marble stone. It bore no dates, no elaborate family crest, and no prominent last name. Engraved across the pristine, unblemished surface were just two simple, elegant words: Little One.Alistair had built this private memorial for me three months ago, giving me a secluded sanctuary to visit whenever the heavy weight of my new life grew too difficult to bear in silence.I stepped up to t
