RISE OF THE EX WIFE : Mona's Revenge Chapter 88
Chapter 88Cold morning light filtered through the tall windows of the Caldwell mansion dining room, illuminating dust motes that danced in the air, something that would have never been allowed when they had a full housekeeping staff. Samuel stared at the particles, oddly fascinated by this small sign of their decline.Mrs. Hudson, their longtime housekeeper, stood at the head of the table where the remaining household staff had gathered. Her gray hair was pulled back in its usual tight bun, but her eyes were red-rimmed."As you all know," she began, her voice wavering, "the family is facing... financial adjustments." She glanced at Samuel, who nodded for her to continue. "I've been asked to inform you that, effective immediately, the household staff will be reduced."Murmurs rippled through the small group of people who had served the Caldwells for years, some for decades."Those of you whose positions are being eliminated will receive two weeks' pay," Samuel said, unable to meet the

Chapter 87Rain hammered against the windows of Kane Industries, the sky as dark as midnight though it was only three in the afternoon. Mona stood by the floor-to-ceiling glass, watching water stream down in rivulets, distorting the city below. The corporate tower stood tall among the Boston skyline, a monument to Alexander's power and now, her own.A soft knock interrupted her thoughts."Mrs. Kane?" Her assistant's voice held an unusual edge. "There's someone here to see you. She doesn't have an appointment."Mona turned, eyebrow raised. "Who is it, Claire?"The young woman shifted uncomfortably. "Lora Caldwell. She's... quite insistent."A slow smile spread across Mona's face. She smoothed her silk blouse, adjusted her diamond earrings – the ones Alexander had given her after they destroyed Davidson Shipping. "How interesting. Send her in."Claire hesitated. "Security offered to remove her, but she's causing quite a scene in the lobby.""That won't be necessary." Mona's voice remain

Chapter 86Lora's scream echoed through the half-empty Caldwell mansion as the television broadcast showed James Bennett confidently shaking hands with the CEO of Global Tech Innovations. Her fingers trembled against the remote, turning the volume higher as if the increased sound could somehow change the reality unfolding before her eyes."In breaking business news today, nineteen-year-old James Bennett has secured an unprecedented billion-dollar deal with Global Tech Innovations for exclusive distribution rights across Asia and Europe. The young heir to the Bennett fortune has shown remarkable business acumen beyond his years..."The crystal tumbler in Lora's hand shattered against the wall, alcohol splashing across the faded wallpaper – one of the few remaining signs of luxury in a home that had been systematically stripped of its valuables."That should be me!" she shrieked, her voice raw with desperation. "I should be making that deal! I'm the one who was raised for this!"Samuel

Chapter 85The sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Bennett Corporation conference room, casting long shadows across the polished oak table. James Bennett sat with perfect posture at the head, his youthful face set in concentration as he reviewed the contract before him. At nineteen, he looked almost out of place in his tailored navy suit, but the confident set of his shoulders told a different story.Across from him sat the executives from Global Tech Innovations, their expressions a mixture of surprise and reluctant respect. They had come expecting to negotiate with an inexperienced teenager, easy to manipulate. What they found instead was a young man thoroughly prepared, backed by a team of razor-sharp lawyers and advisors."The terms look acceptable," James said, his voice deeper than his years suggested. "One billion dollars for exclusive distribution rights across Asia and Europe." He glanced up, his eyes sharp. "But I'd like clarification on the sustain

Chapter 84Samuel Caldwell's hand trembled as he poured another drink, splashing expensive bourbon onto the antique desk that had once been his father's pride. He didn't bother to wipe it up. What did it matter now? Just another stain in a life increasingly marked by them.The study had become his refuge, or prison over the past weeks. Heavy curtains remained drawn against the persistent media cameras that still camped outside the gates. The darkness suited his mood, broken only by a single lamp that cast long shadows across the wood-paneled walls. Family photographs watched him from silver frames, happier times that now seemed to belong to someone else's life.He brought the glass to his lips, wincing at the burn but welcoming the numbing effect that would follow. The bottle beside him, his third this week, and it was only Wednesday, was already half empty. Much like his future, he thought with bitter amusement.A soft knock at the door interrupted his dark reverie."Go away," he cal

Chapter 83The press conference was held in the Caldwell Industries main lobby, a space once renowned for its marble floors and the towering portrait of the company founder that had greeted visitors for decades. Today, the portrait was gone, a pale rectangle on the wall marking where it had hung and the marble floors were scuffed from the parade of SEC investigators who had trekked through over the past weeks.Melissa Porter, the interim CEO appointed by the board, stood behind a podium bearing the company's logo. The gathered press shifted impatiently as she adjusted the microphone, cameras flashing and recording devices held high. Behind her stood several board members, their faces grave."Good morning," Melissa began, her voice steady despite the tension in the room. "Today I'm announcing several difficult but necessary changes to Caldwell Industries' operational structure in light of the ongoing financial challenges we face."The cameras clicked furiously."First, effective immedi

The elevator doors closed on Samuel's desperate face, sealing him away. For a long moment, Mona stood frozen, her hand still resting on the call button. The penthouse fell silent except for the steady drumming of rain against the windows and the faint hum of the descending elevator carrying her ex-husband away.When she finally turned from the elevator, her carefully maintained composure crumbled. The first tear slid down her cheek, then another, until her vision blurred. She pressed her palm against her mouth, trying to hold back the sob building in her chest. The strength that had carried her through the confrontation drained away, leaving her hollow.A door opened from the private study. Alexander stood there, watching her with an unreadable expression. He had been there all along, listening."You heard?" Mona asked, her voice rough with emotion.Alexander nodded, crossing the room slowly. "Every word."Mona wiped at her cheeks, embarrassed by her tears. "I didn't expect this to be

Chapter 81Rain fell in a steady sheet across Boston as Samuel Caldwell stepped out of his car and hurried toward the gleaming glass tower that housed the Kane penthouse. The doorman's eyes widened in recognition, but Samuel kept his head down, avoiding eye contact as he approached the reception desk."I need to see Mona Kane," he said, water dripping from his coat onto the polished marble floor.The receptionist's professional smile faltered. "Do you have an appointment, sir?""No. But tell her Samuel Caldwell is here." He swallowed hard. "Tell her it's important."The receptionist hesitated, then picked up the phone, speaking quietly into the receiver. Samuel glanced around the opulent lobby, noting the stark contrast between this modern temple of wealth and his family's traditional mansion. Here, everything gleamed with new money confidence—a painful reminder of how completely the power balance had shifted.After a brief conversation, the receptionist looked up. "Mrs. Kane says she

Chapter 80Across town, the Caldwell family had gathered in the mansion's grand living room. Emily stood by the fireplace, her posture rigid as she watched the news unfold on the large television. Richard sat in his favorite armchair, his face ashen. Samuel paced near the windows while Sarah perched on the edge of the sofa, clutching Lora's hand for support.The ticker at the bottom of the screen scrolled the breaking news: "SEC ANNOUNCES FORMAL INVESTIGATION INTO CALDWELL INDUSTRIES FINANCIAL FRAUD."The newscaster's voice filled the room: "In a stunning development this morning, the Securities and Exchange Commission has deployed dozens of agents to Caldwell Industries headquarters, seizing computers and financial records. Sources tell us this follows whistleblower testimony alleging systematic accounting fraud spanning more than a decade.""Turn it off," Richard said quietly.No one moved."I said turn it off!" he repeated, his voice cracking with emotion.Samuel grabbed the remote
