ELENA’s POV

The leather seat of the executive chair felt too big for me. The boardroom was very quiet now. Susan, Sebastian, and Vivienne were gone, but their angry voices still seemed to echo against the high glass walls.

Julian stood right next to me, his heavy hand resting flat on the dark wood of the table.

"You did perfectly, Elena," Julian said. His voice was low and very steady. "You stood your ground."

I looked down at my mother’s old diary. My fingers were still cold. "My heart is be

  • PREGNANT BY MY HUSBAND’S RIVAL: THE BILLIONAIRE'S REVENGE    CH 209

    Down near the marina, far away from the bright lights of the city center, sat an old, grey warehouse. To anyone passing by on the street, it looked like an abandoned storage building for old boat parts and rust-covered shipping containers.Inside the back of the warehouse, however, was a small, hidden apartment. It had no windows, plain concrete walls, and a single metal door secured with a heavy deadbolt.Victor Montenegro sat at a wooden table in the middle of the room. A single laptop was open in front of him, casting a cold, blue glow across his sharp face. He was wearing a dark jacket, and his hair was slightly messy, but his eyes were completely calm and calculating.A heavy glass of whiskey sat next to his laptop, untouched.The heavy metal door unlocked with a sharp click, and Paul stepped into the room. He looked nervous, his eyes darting around the room before he pulled a chair out and sat down opposite Victor."I just came back from the docks," Paul said, dropping his voice

    The morning sun shone bright over the Vane family estate. The dark clouds from the night before were completely gone, leaving behind a clear blue sky.Inside the main dining room, Julian sat at the head of the long table with his laptop open in front of him. He was wearing a sharp grey suit, sipping black coffee as his fingers flew across the keyboard. Elena sat across from him, reviewing legal documents on her tablet.Neither of them had mentioned the fact that they had shared a bed the night before. They had woken up early, slipped into their professional routines, and focused entirely on the crisis at hand.The heavy double doors of the dining room opened, and Frank walked in, followed closely by Victoria.Victoria looked much better than she had at the docks. She was wearing a simple blue sweater and black pants. Though she had dark circles under her eyes, her face lit up the moment she saw her son running into the hallway with Leo."Mommy!" Toby shouted, charging down the hall as

    Meanwhile, downtown at the central police headquarters, the atmosphere was loud and frantic. Inside a small, windowless interrogation room, Cynthia sat at a metal table. Her expensive dress was wrinkled and stained with dirt from the docks. Her hair was a messy nest, and her mascara was smeared all down her cheeks from crying. Two metal handcuffs bound her wrists to a loop welded directly into the center of the table. The heavy door clicked open, and Captain Miles walked in. He set one cup down in front of Cynthia and sat in the chair across from her. "Drink," Miles said plainly. Cynthia didn't touch the cup. She leaned forward as far as her handcuffs allowed, her eyes wide and wild with panic. "Captain! You have to listen to me!" Cynthia screamed, her voice hoarse from shouting for hours. "You have to get me out of here! You don't understand who Victor Montenegro really is! He is going to kill me! He has people everywhere!" "Calm down, Miss Cynthia," Captain Miles sai

    The sleek black sedan drove through the gates of the old Vane family estate. It was past midnight, and the driveway was lined with soft, warm lights.Julian rubbed his eyes. He was exhausted. Next to him, Elena leaned against the door, staring at her phone as emails kept flooding in about the dock incident. "We need a few hours of sleep," Julian said, stepping out of the car. "The police are handling the search for Victor tonight. There is nothing more we can do until morning." "Agreed," Elena sighed, stepping out into the cool night air. "My brain is completely shut off."They walked up the wide stone steps to the main entrance. The front door opened before Julian could even touch the handle. His mother stood in the foyer wearing an elegant silk robe. She looked calm and composed, as if it were three in the afternoon instead of one in the morning. "You two look like ghosts," Catherine said smoothly, stepping aside to let them in. "It was a long night, Mother," Julian said, taking

    The gates of the private coastal estate glided shut with a deep, metallic thud.Inside the back seat of the sleek black sedan, Julian Vane stared out the window into the dark night. His jaw was set in a tight, rigid line, and his dark eyes were completely cold. Next to him, Elena leaned back against the leather headrest, her arms crossed over her chest. She let out a long, quiet sigh that carried the heavy weight of her exhaustion and frustration.The mission at the dock had been a technical success; they had captured Cynthia, secured a full digital confession, and cleared the name of Vane Enterprises. But the main prize had slipped through their fingers. Victor Montenegro was free, somewhere out on the dark waters, and his escape meant the nightmare was far from over."We had him, Julian," Elena said softly, her voice barely rising above the quiet hum of the car's engine. "We had him surrounded by armed officers, and he still managed to slip away on a boat.""It doesn't matter," Juli

    Victor’s fingertips brushed against the cold silver flash drive, but his movement came to an abrupt stop. He stared at the tiny, flickering red light hidden beneath the folded collar of Victoria’s coat. His jaw tightened, and the blood drained from his face as the reality of the situation hit him. "You..." Victor whispered, his hand freezing in mid-air. "You bitch. It's a wire." Before Victor could step back or shout an order to his men, a blinding white light flooded the dark dock. High-powered floodlights mounted on top of four heavy tactical vehicles clicked on all at once, illuminating the old shipping yard in a daylight glare. Police sirens shrieked into the night air, echoing loudly off the rusting metal containers. "POLICE! DON'T MOVE! DROP YOUR WEAPONS!" a voice boomed through a megaphone from the darkness beyond the lights. Heavy police vans crashed through the wooden gates on both sides of the dock, blocking the main exit routes. Dozens of armed SWAT officers in dark g

    ELENA’s POV Mark came home with flowers that day. I almost didn’t recognize the gesture. He stood at the door, holding a neat bouquet of white lilies and pale roses, like a man trying to remember a role he used to play well. For a second, I saw the boy from Capri, the one who used to pull me into

    Julian Vane stepped out. He wasn't in a hundred thousand dollar suit surprisingly. He wore a simple black sweater that hugged his broad shoulders and dark jeans. He looked less like a CEO and more like a predator out for a stroll. But as he looked at me standing there in the middle of the parking

    ELENA’s POV The morning after the gala, the sun felt too bright. It felt like it was poking through the heavy curtains of our bedroom. My head still throbbed. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Julian Vane’s face. I saw the way he looked at me, like he owned the air I was breathing.I rolled over

    The museum was filled with the sound of a hundred violins, but to me, it sounded like a funeral.Every step I took in my high heels felt like I was walking on fire. My stomach was in knots, not just from the nerves, but from the fear I felt. In my mind, I felt like I was already showing. I felt li
