Vicky

The quiet inside my private villa felt good.

I sat on the soft velvet sofa, slowly turning a glass of dark red wine in my hand. The warm light from the chandelier made the liquid glow. Outside, the media was going crazy, but inside my house I was having my own private celebration.

For the first time in two lives, I could finally breathe. The weight of almost three years of lies was still there, but tonight I had landed the first hard hit.

I took a slow sip and let the rich taste settle on

  • Reborn Curvy Queen: Heels On Your Neck Ex-Husband   Chapter 58: The Blueprint and the Needle

    ~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

  • Reborn Curvy Queen: Heels On Your Neck Ex-Husband   Chapter 57: High Stakes and Heartstrings

    ~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

  • Reborn Curvy Queen: Heels On Your Neck Ex-Husband   Chapter 54: Sacred Lines and Redemption

    VictoriaAs Edward nudged the small white pill into my palm.For a quick, scary second, a cold memory flashed through my mind. I saw a ghost of Philip standing over me months ago, handing me pills with a fake smile while secretly poisoning me to make me look crazy, broken, and unfit to run Crown Enterprises. My fingers jerked back on instinct, a sudden wave of panic hitting my chest."Victoria?" Edward asked quietly, his dark eyes instantly catching my sudden flinch. He didn't force me. He just held the glass steady, his hand patient and still.I looked at him—really looked at him. Edward wasn't giving me poison to destroy me. He was giving me something to stop the quiet physical breakdown that Philip’s cruelty had started inside me. He was fixing what Philip had tried to tear apart. That realization washed over me like warm water, melting away the sharp edge of my fear.I took the pill, swallowed the warm water, and let out a long breath I felt like I’d been holding for months."Than

  • Reborn Curvy Queen: Heels On Your Neck Ex-Husband   Chapter 53: Suppressed Feelings

    EdwardThe heavy wooden doors of the boardroom clicked shut behind us, cutting off the suffocating tension that had filled the air inside. We had won the fight, locking Philip and his panicked board into a legally binding four-month deal. But victory had a steep physical price, and Victoria was running on empty.She took three slow, careful steps down the quiet marble hallway, her back straight and her head held high like nothing in the world could touch her. But the second we turned the corner, away from the cameras and the nosey board members, all that strength crumbled in an instant.Her breath caught in her throat. Her shoulders slumped, and her knees buckled.I moved fast, wrapping my arm firmly around her waist before she could hit the floor."Victoria," I said gently, pulling her close to support her weight.Her skin was pale, and she was shaking like a leaf. The sheer weight of everything—surviving Philip’s ugly lies about her mental health, keeping her pregnancy secret, facin
