    The next morning, Selena’s calendar filled itself without her touching it.An invitation sat at the top—formal, precise, impossible to ignore.Subject: Strategic Partnership DiscussionHost: Orion Global HoldingsAttendees: Executive Board, Key ShareholdersOrion Global.Selena’s fingers paused over the screen.Chris’s company.She exhaled slowly and tapped accept.Across the city, in a glass-walled office that overlooked the river, Chris stood with his hands in his pockets as his assistant rattled off details.“We’re officially expanding into domestic infrastructure,” she said. “Hale Group is the most efficient entry point.”Chris nodded, gaze distant. “Set the meeting.”“There’s one more thing,” she added carefully. “Mrs. Hale will be attending.”He smiled faintly. “I was counting on it.”The boardroom hummed with polite anticipation. Coffee was poured. Screens glowed. People settled into their seats with the quiet confidence of those who believed they understood the room.Selena en

  • 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
