Reborn To Ruin My Ex Husband Chapter 18 — The First Celebration
“Tonight, we celebrate.”That was what her husband announced the moment he stepped through the doors of the private lounge he’d reserved. Crystal lights glinted overhead, champagne already chilling in silver buckets, the city skyline stretched wide and obedient behind the glass.Selena arrived at his side, elegant and composed, her hand resting lightly on his arm.He looked triumphant.Whatever doubts had crept into him over the past few days were buried beneath applause, clinking glasses, and the eager smiles of people who mistook confidence for power.“To expansion,” he declared, lifting his glass. “To leadership. And to the future.”“To the future,” the room echoed.Selena smiled and took a sip.It tasted like patience.Her husband moved through the crowd like a man newly crowned. He accepted congratulations, slapped shoulders, and laughed loudly. Every story he told grew slightly grander with each retelling.“We’ve secured the next phase,” he said to a group of investors. “The str
Reborn To Ruin My Ex Husband Chapter 17 — The Illusion of Authority
And that's her husband who woke up uneasy.He didn’t say it out loud, of course. He never admitted doubt—not to others, not even to himself. But the way he checked his phone before getting out of bed, the way his fingers lingered on unread notifications, told Selena everything.At breakfast, he cleared his throat unnecessarily.“I’m making a few leadership adjustments today,” he announced, buttering his toast with forced confidence. “Strategic moves. People need to see I’m in control.”Selena poured his coffee, unhurried. “That sounds important.”“It is,” he said quickly. “The board’s been too comfortable. They forget who’s steering the ship.”She met his eyes. “Do they?”He hesitated—just a fraction—then laughed. “Of course not. I’ll remind them.”By noon, the company buzzed with news.A new operations head. A reshuffled regional director. Temporary committees dissolved and rebuilt under his name. His assistant sent out the announcements with pride, his signature bold at the bottom o
Reborn To Ruin My Ex Husband Chapter 16 — The Lawyer Who Owes Her
The office she entered the next afternoon was discreet to the point of anonymity. No name on the door. No receptionist. Just a quiet hallway and a man who stood when he saw her, his expression carefully respectful.“Mrs. Hale,” he said. “It’s been a long time.”Selena closed the door behind her herself. “Longer than you intended.”The lawyer smiled thinly. “I suppose I deserve that.”He gestured for her to sit, but she remained standing.“I didn’t come here for nostalgia,” she said. “I came for certainty.”He nodded and opened a folder already waiting on the desk. Her name was printed on the tab.“You’ve done… meticulous work,” he said after a moment. “Frankly, I’m surprised no one caught it.”“They weren’t looking,” Selena replied. “They never look at the wife.”The lawyer’s fingers stilled. “You understand what this means?”“Yes.”He leaned back slowly. “Your husband can’t undo the current structure without activating at least three exposure clauses. Two would trigger internal audit
Reborn To Ruin My Ex Husband Chapter 15 — Paperwork Is Power
Her husband slept soundly that night.Selena did not.At dawn, the study lights were already on. A thin line of gold crept through the curtains as she sat at the desk, hair tied back, sleeves rolled just enough to suggest work rather than rebellion.Stacks of documents waited patiently.The paper didn’t argue. It didn’t lie. It only obeyed whoever understood it best.Selena opened the first file: Operational Continuity Agreement — Q3. Boring title. Essential function.She read slowly, pen tapping once against the desk.Clause 7 gave temporary voting privileges to operational managers during expansion periods. It had been written years ago, meant to speed decisions when the board was unavailable.No one had ever questioned it.Selena smiled faintly.She added a sub-clause—just a sentence—nestled between references.In the event of managerial conflict or breach of fiduciary alignment, provisional voting weight shall default to the founding shareholder or legally recognized spouse thereo
Reborn To Ruin My Ex Husband Chapter 14 — A Trust Too Easily Given
The next morning, Selena woke to the sound of her husband moving around the bedroom, already dressed, already late.“I’ve got meetings all day,” he said, fastening his watch. “Board calls, investor lunches… I might not be home tonight.”Selena adjusted the cuff of his shirt for him, fingers light and practiced. “I’ll have dinner ready anyway.”He smiled, satisfied by the answer. “You’re finally not asking questions.”“I trust you,” she replied.That single sentence did more than a thousand reassurances ever could.Trust, she had learned, made people careless.By noon, her phone began to ring.“Mrs. Hale,” his assistant said hesitantly, “your husband asked me to forward the revised contracts to you for review. He said you’d… handle it.”Selena paused just long enough to sound surprised. “Of course. Send everything.”She hung up and smiled.In her previous life, this would have terrified her. Responsibility had always felt like pressure—something she wasn’t prepared for, something she m
Reborn To Ruin My Ex Husband Chapter 13 — Smiles at the Dinner Table
Her husband hummed in satisfaction and disappeared back into the bedroom, already done thinking about it.Selena stood alone for a moment longer, then turned off the kitchen light.The next evening, she arrived at her mother-in-law’s house right on time.Family dinners were never optional. They were inspections—of obedience, usefulness, and status. Selena had learned that early in her marriage.The dining room glowed with warm lighting and expensive décor. Her mother-in-law sat at the head of the table, posture rigid, lips pressed into a thin line of authority. The sister-in-law lounged beside her, scrolling through her phone with practiced boredom.“You’re late,” her mother-in-law said the moment Selena stepped in.“I’m right on time,” Selena replied gently, glancing at the clock. “Seven sharp.”A pause.Her mother-in-law’s eyes narrowed. “Don’t talk back.”Selena lowered her gaze immediately. “I’m sorry.”The sister-in-law laughed quietly. “She always has excuses. It must be nice ha
