Reborn Curvy Queen: Heels On Your Neck Ex-Husband Chapter 60: Unforgotten Memories
~Victoria~The adrenaline from the morning presentation was still buzzing beneath my skin as I sorted through the initial file outlines on my desk. Every fiber of my being was wired to fight, ready to throw myself immediately into sketching designs, sourcing fabrics, and mapping out the next four months of war against Philip.The quiet whisper of my office glass doors sliding open broke my concentration.I looked up, expecting my assistant, but it was Edward who stepped inside. He had tossed his suit jacket over his shoulder, the top buttons of his crisp white shirt unbuttoned just enough to look effortlessly relaxed."Pack up your files, Victoria," Edward said smoothly, a small, intriguing smirk pulling at his lips. "We're leaving."I blinked, holding my pen in mid-air. "Leaving? Where? Edward, the workday isn't even over. I need to order my design boards and—""You're changing out of that corporate suit," he interrupted gently, walking right up to my desk and placing his hands over

PhilipThe heavy oak doors of the boardroom clicked shut, sealing out the lingering tension, but the humiliation from the red carpet was still burning hot under my skin.I was still standing right by my seat at the head of the long mahogany table, slowly packing up my tablet and papers. My jaw was clenched so tight my teeth ached. My hand—the hand I had proudly thrust out to greet Mr. Stanley earlier—still felt heavy and awkward, a ghost of the embarrassing moment the multi-billionaire had walked right past me as if I were invisible. I had tried so hard to outsmart Victoria, to shove past her and claim the spotlight first, completely forgetting a fatal detail: Edward Kenty was standing right behind her, backing her every move.When Stanley had lit up at the sight of Edward and practically embraced him like an old brother, my stomach had dropped into a bottomless pit. I had walked into that boardroom feeling like I held all the cards, but the entire entrance had turned into a public ex

~Victoria~The heavy double doors of the boardroom clicked shut behind us, cutting off the murmurs of the remaining board members. Margaret discreetly held the path clear as Edward and I walked side-by-side down the quiet corridor, heading straight back to the safety of my private executive office.The moment the sleek glass doors of my office slid shut and locked us in away from the prying eyes of Crown Enterprises, the tense, formal armor I had worn all morning finally melted away.Edward walked me over to my plush leather executive chair, gently guiding my shoulders until I sat down. He didn't step back. Instead, he leaned over the back of the chair, his warm hand resting gently on my shoulder, his thumb slowly rubbing circles against my collarbone.The simple touch sent a familiar, soft shiver straight down my spine, reminding me of the heat we had shared just the night before."You were breathtaking back there," Edward murmured, his deep voice rich with genuine admiration. "You s

~Victoria~Margaret took the lead, guiding Mr. Stanley down the grand marble hallway toward the executive boardroom.Edward and I walked a few paces behind the client, keeping a respectful distance. The noise of the lobby faded into a quiet, heavy tension as we approached the double doors. I leaned sideways toward Edward, keeping my voice low so only he could hear."You know him," I whispered, keeping my eyes fixed straight ahead. "Why didn't you tell me about it? You could have at least given me a hint before we walked out there."Edward didn't look at me, keeping his sharp profile facing forward, but a small, amused twitch touched the corner of his lips. "I never saw any real need to bring it up, Victoria. I didn’t even think I’d have to use my personal influence today.""You two acted like long-lost brothers out there," I pressed softly. "You cut me off guard. You could have told me.""We’ve been friends for a while and we do business together, but I wanted your strategy to stand e
Reborn Curvy Queen: Heels On Your Neck Ex-Husband Chapter 56: Red Carpets and Power Moves
~Victoria~The front entrance of Crown Enterprises had been turned into a big stage for high-stakes corporate drama.A long, thick red carpet stretched from the tall glass front doors, running down the wide marble steps all the way to the driveway. Security guards in neat black suits stood on both sides of the carpet, keeping the reporters and junior workers back behind the line.I walked down the quiet hallway toward the lobby, my dark green suit fitting my body perfectly. My hand rested securely inside the crook of Edward’s arm. The cool morning air hit my face as we pushed through the glass doors, waking up my mind and giving me a sharp sense of focus.Standing right at the edge of the red carpet was Philip.He was wearing a nice navy blue suit, but his body language showed he was nervous. His posture was way too stiff, his fingers kept fixing his tie over and over, and his eyes kept darting back and forth across the driveway, trying hard to look like he was in complete control. Ri
Reborn Curvy Queen: Heels On Your Neck Ex-Husband Chapter 55: The Morning of the Clash
~Victoria~The morning sun shone bright and sharp across the city, coming straight through the big glass windows of my penthouse. I spent the whole morning checking my notes for Curvaceous Royalty, making sure every single detail and number was locked safely in my head.I picked out a nice dark green suit for the day. It fit my body really well, making me look strong and ready for business. I looked in the mirror, fixed my suit jacket, and took a deep breath. Today wasn't just another day at work. This was the start of the four-month fight to see if I would keep my company or lose everything to Philip.I grabbed my bag and tablet, left the apartment, and took the elevator down to the garage. Paul, my driver, was already standing outside the sleek black Rolls-Royce. The moment he saw me coming, he smiled politely, stepped forward, and opened the door for me."Good morning, Mrs. Crown," Paul said nicely."Good morning, Paul," I said as I climbed into the comfortable back seat.Just as P
