Chapter 38

The Caldwell mansion's morning room erupted in chaos as financial news blared from multiple screens. Lora stood barefoot on the Persian rug, her silk robe askew, last night's makeup smeared beneath eyes swollen from interrupted sleep. Her fingers clutched the remote so tightly her knuckles turned white as she jabbed at the volume button, forcing everyone to hear the news that had shattered her world.

"BENNETT EMPIRE SHIFTS: Heir Change Shocks Society"

"19-YEAR-OLD JAMES BENNETT NAMED SOLE SUCCESSOR"

"KANE INDUSTRIES SIGNS HISTORIC DEAL WITH BENNETT CORPORATION"

"Ten billion!" The words exploded from Lora's throat like shrapnel. She hurled her teacup with such violence that it left a dent in the wall before shattering, tea splashing across priceless artwork like blood. "Ten BILLION dollars! That witch orchestrated everything! She bought my grandmother's loyalty with a business deal!"

Her chest heaved with each ragged breath, nostrils flaring, veins standing out on her neck.

I would ask why the Caldwells are letting Lora tear up their house but it's technically her house to tear up now, considering she lost all her money and influence to save it lol. She endured plastic surgery, social ruin and impending poverty, all for the approval of ppl who she watched be snakes lol

  • RISE OF THE EX WIFE : Mona's Revenge   Chapter 164

    Chapter 164I remember the exact moment everything changed. Not when Emily was sentenced to life in prison, not when Alexander and I finally won our war - but when the doctor placed two tiny, crying babies on my chest and I realized that love could actually multiply instead of divide."Twins," I whispered, tears streaming down my face as I looked at my son and daughter for the first time. Leo had Alexander's dark hair and my stubborn chin. Lisa had my eyes but Alexander's serious expression, even as a newborn."They're perfect," Alexander said, his voice cracking with emotion as he touched each tiny hand. "They're absolutely perfect."That was five years ago. Five years of sleepless nights and first words and scraped knees and bedtime stories. Five years of watching Alexander transform from a man obsessed with revenge into a father who built blanket forts and attended every school play.Now I stand in our garden, watching Leo chase butterflies while Lisa picks flowers for the centerpi

  • RISE OF THE EX WIFE : Mona's Revenge   Chapter 163

    Chapter 163Mona stood in the center of what had once been Alexander's private study, her hands resting on the gentle curve of her growing belly. At twelve weeks pregnant, her body was beginning to show subtle signs of the life growing inside her. The morning sickness had mostly passed, replaced by an energy and excitement that made her feel like she could conquer the world."Are you sure about this?" Alexander asked from the doorway, watching his wife examine the room with the focused intensity of a general planning a campaign. "This was my father's favorite room in the house."Mona turned to face her husband, her eyes bright with determination and love. "Alexander, your father would want his grandchild to have the most beautiful nursery possible. He would want this room filled with laughter and joy instead of old papers and business documents."Alexander stepped into the room and wrapped his arms around Mona from behind, his hands covering hers on her belly. The afternoon sunlight s

  • RISE OF THE EX WIFE : Mona's Revenge   Chapter 162

    Chapter 162The Suffolk County Superior Courtroom overflowed with reporters, camera crews, and spectators eager to witness what the media had dubbed "The Trial of the Century." Emily Caldwell sat at the defense table in a navy blue suit that her attorney had purchased for her, looking smaller and frailer than the woman who had once commanded Boston's social elite.Judge Patricia Martinez gaveled the proceedings to order as District Attorney Rebecca Chen approached the jury box. The twelve jurors - seven women and five men from diverse backgrounds across Massachusetts - watched with rapt attention as Chen prepared to outline the prosecution's case."Ladies and gentlemen of the jury," Chen began, her voice carrying clearly through the packed courtroom. "Today we begin the trial of Emily Rose Caldwell, a woman who spent thirty years building an empire of lies, theft, and murder."Emily's defense attorney, David Walsh, shifted uncomfortably in his seat. The evidence against his client was

  • RISE OF THE EX WIFE : Mona's Revenge   Chapter 161

    Chapter 161Mona's eyes snapped open at 3:17 AM, her stomach churning with a sickness that felt different from anything she had experienced before. The taste of bile filled her mouth as she threw back the covers and stumbled toward the bathroom, her bare feet silent on the cold marble floor.Alexander stirred in their bed as the bathroom door slammed shut behind her. "Mona? Are you okay?"The sound of violent retching echoed through their penthouse bedroom. Alexander sat up immediately, his heart racing with concern as he heard his wife's body convulsing with whatever illness had seized her.Mona knelt on the bathroom floor, gripping the edges of the toilet as wave after wave of nausea crashed over her. Her silk nightgown clung to her sweat-dampened skin, and her hair fell in damp strands around her face."Mona!" Alexander appeared in the doorway, his voice thick with sleep and worry. "What's wrong? Are you sick?"Mona couldn't answer through the violent heaving that wracked her body.

  • RISE OF THE EX WIFE : Mona's Revenge   Chapter 160

    Chapter 160The Suffolk County Superior Courtroom buzzed with tension as reporters filled every available seat. News cameras lined the walls, ready to capture Emily Caldwell's first public appearance since her arrest three weeks earlier. The woman who had once commanded Boston society from mansion parlors would now face justice in a room that smelled of old wood and broken dreams.Emily sat at the defendant's table wearing an orange jumpsuit that hung loose on her shrinking frame. Her once-perfect hair was unwashed and gray at the roots. Dark circles shadowed her eyes, and her hands shook as she gripped the edge of the table.Her court-appointed attorney, David Walsh, shuffled through papers with the resigned expression of a man who knew his client was doomed. The evidence against Emily was overwhelming - video footage of the kidnapping, witness testimony, physical evidence from the warehouse."All rise," the bailiff announced. "The Honorable Judge Patricia Martinez presiding."Judge

  • RISE OF THE EX WIFE : Mona's Revenge   Chapter 159

    Chapter 159Sarah Caldwell sat in the small coffee shop near Boston Common, stirring her untouched latte and staring out the window at people hurrying past in the November cold. Two weeks had passed since Samuel's funeral, two weeks since she had walked away from her mother forever, two weeks since she had become truly alone in the world.Her phone buzzed with a text message from Alexander Kane: "Can we meet? I have something important to discuss with you."Sarah stared at the message for a long time before responding. She had no reason to trust Alexander Kane, no reason to believe he wanted anything good for her. But she also had nothing left to lose."Where?" she typed back."Kane Industries. Top floor. One hour."Sarah finished her coffee and walked through Boston's financial district toward the gleaming tower that now housed what had once been her family's empire. The November wind cut through her thin coat, reminding her that she couldn't afford to buy warmer clothes. Her savings
