Once my Wife Chapter 111: The Ultimate Vow
The night felt heavier than usual—like the sky itself had sunk lower, pressing down on everything. The city lights outside flickered through the tall windows of Bella’s studio, casting faint gold streaks across the mess on the floor.Broken glass. Torn sketches. A half-finished canvas ripped in two.And Bella—on her knees, hands shaking, face buried in her palms—looked like someone who had just lost everything that made her believe.Her firm was collapsing. The investors had pulled out. Julian Voss had started openly funding rival companies, giving them contracts and media praise. Every client Bella had built from scratch was turning away. And tonight, it had finally broken her.Jason stood in the doorway, silent for a long moment. He didn’t know whether to speak or move. But then, as he saw her shoulders tremble, he stepped forward quietly.He didn’t say a word. He simply knelt down beside her.“Bella,” he whispered, but she didn’t respond.Her fingers dug into the floor as if she co
Once my Wife Chapter 110: A Battle on Two Fronts
The cameras flashed like lightning. Questions flew from reporters like arrows. And right in the center of it all—smiling, polished, and dangerous—stood Adrian Vance.“Bella Reed’s firm,” he said with a faint, sympathetic smile, “seems to have forgotten what real art means to a community. It's sad, really. Passion traded for profit.”The crowd murmured. Some nodded. Others frowned. But the damage was already done. His words didn’t need to be loud; they just needed to linger.From a few steps away, Bella froze. Her breath caught in her throat. She forced a professional smile, but her hands trembled behind her back.Later, when they escaped the crowd and shut the office doors behind them, the mask finally cracked.“He’s using my reputation against me, Jason!” she burst out, pacing across the floor. Her voice trembled between anger and heartbreak. “He’s making it sound like everything I’ve worked for is fake—like I’m just doing this to show off!”Jason leaned against the desk, watching he
Once my Wife Chapter 109: The Return of the Ghost
The night had been calm — almost too calm.For once, Bella allowed herself to breathe. No cameras. No boardrooms. No endless messages from Jason’s security team. Just soft music, the faint hum of conversations, and walls covered in quiet beauty.She stood before a painting — all shadows and light — and let herself drift. For the first time in months, her heartbeat slowed.Then a voice, smooth and familiar, cut through the stillness.“I always knew you had an eye for beauty, Bella.”Her fingers froze mid-air. She turned. And for a moment, her world tilted.“Adrian?”There he was — Adrian Vance. The name alone sent ripples down her spine. Sterling Vance’s younger brother. Jason’s old rival’s bloodline. But Adrian was nothing like Sterling. No hunger for power. No venom in his smile. He’d been gentle once — the kind of man who painted feelings instead of hiding them.He smiled, that same soft curve of lips she remembered from long ago.“You look surprised,” he teased lightly. “I didn’t t
Once my Wife Chapter 108: A Moment of Surrender
The night felt heavy — the kind that presses against your chest and won’t let go.Bella stood by the window, watching the city glow beneath them. New York looked alive as always, but she felt miles away from it. Lately, every headline, every attack, every whisper online felt like another brick thrown at the life they’d built.She wasn’t made for this kind of war. She had always built things from the heart — with trust, kindness, vision. But power was a cruel game, and it was dragging Jason back into the darkness she thought he had left behind.He was out on the balcony, his back to her, staring at the skyline. He didn’t even notice she’d come closer. His shoulders were tight, fists clenched at the rail like he was trying to hold the world still.“Jason,” she said softly.He didn’t move.She tried again, stepping out beside him. “You’ve been out here for almost an hour.”“They hit us again today,” he muttered, voice low. “Pulled another investor. Spread another story. They think they c
Once my Wife Chapter 107: The New Target
The elevator doors closed behind Marcus Thorne, leaving a hollow silence that filled the glass office like smoke. His parting words echoed in Jason’s mind — quiet, sharp, and poisonous.“You can rebuild your empire, Jason… but what happens when I burn the foundation — your family?”Jason stood frozen, every muscle tight. His reflection in the office window stared back — tired eyes, clenched jaw, the look of a man who’d won too many battles only to lose the ones that truly mattered.Beside him, Bella whispered, “He meant it, didn’t he?”Jason didn’t answer. His throat was dry. His pulse pounded. He’d faced rivals before, corporate predators, political blackmailers. But this… this was different. Marcus wasn’t after control anymore. He was after blood.The next week came like a slow collapse.It started small — one of Bella’s firm’s biggest clients, a green-tech developer, suddenly withdrew from their contract. No warning, no explanation.Bella had stared at her laptop, blinking at the t
Once my Wife Chapter 106: An Unveiling
Jason had always believed betrayal came with warning signs. A missed call. A sidelong glance. A word spoken too carefully. But this—this was a knife to the gut he never saw coming.Marcus Thorne.The man who had sat in his father’s office, who toasted at his wedding, who stood at George Reed’s funeral with tears in his eyes and his hand on the coffin. Jason had trusted him, leaned on him, laughed with him.And now? Now the truth burned through every memory like acid.Jason: “Why?”The word came out ragged, not the sharp question he meant to throw but something closer to an animal sound. His voice cracked. He dragged in another breath, steadied himself, and tried again.Jason: “Why would he do this?”Bella’s hand tightened around his wrist. She was close enough that he could smell the faint trace of lavender from her hair, but her eyes were heavy, filled with a sadness that made him angrier than the betrayal itself.Bella: “Because of power. That’s all it’s ever been with Marcus. You g
