And that stayed with Adrian long after the meeting ended.

It followed him through every conversation, every phone call, every mile of the drive home.

For years, Chris had remained in the background.

Present but distant.

A familiar face Adrian never considered a threat.

Now he couldn't stop seeing him everywhere.

In boardroom discussions.

In investor conversations.

In industry reports.

And worst of all—

Beside Selena.

Not physically.

Not yet.

But in every way that mattered.

  • Reborn To Ruin My Ex Husband    Chapter 48 — Money Always Leaves a Trail

    The investor’s words lingered in the boardroom long after the meeting ended.Adrian sat rigidly in his chair, his jaw tight.Around him, directors avoided his eyes.One by one, they gathered their documents and left.Selena remained seated.She watched Adrian stare at the empty doorway.For the first time, he looked like a man who had finally realized the room was no longer on his side.Her phone vibrated.She glanced at the screen.Mr. Carter: I have the completed report. Can you meet today?Selena's fingers paused over the message.The forensic accountant had been working quietly for weeks.Now the report was ready.Selena: My office. Thirty minutes.She stood.Adrian looked up.“Selena.”She stopped.“What?”His expression was strained.“Did you know this project was going to fail?”She almost smiled.“You ask interesting questions after the damage is done.”His eyes narrowed.“I’m serious.”“So am I.”“You knew the numbers were wrong.”“I knew something was wrong.”“That’s not an

    Selena's words settled over the boardroom.No one spoke for a moment.Then Director Morrison cleared his throat and opened the first report."We'll start with the Northbridge development."Adrian leaned back in his chair.Finally, something he could control.Northbridge had been his project from the beginning. He had pushed the board to approve it months earlier despite several concerns about the cost and timing.He had called it the company's next major success.Today, he intended to prove it."Our initial projections remain strong," Adrian said confidently. "Once construction begins, the returns will justify the investment."One of the investors frowned."Those projections were made before the recent market changes.""The market will recover.""And if it doesn't?"Adrian's expression hardened."We can't run a company based on fear."Across the table, Selena quietly turned a page in her report.She said nothing.Adrian noticed.He had expected her to challenge him.Instead, she seeme

  • Reborn To Ruin My Ex Husband    Chapter 46 — The Empty Chair

    The morning sun spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Selena's new penthouse, painting the polished wooden floor in warm gold. The apartment was quiet. Peacefully quiet. No arguments echoing through the halls. No cold stares from a mother-in-law. No criticism disguised as advice. No waiting for someone who never came home on time. For the first time in years, the silence belonged to her. Selena stood on the balcony with a cup of coffee in her hands, looking over the city's skyline. The cool breeze brushed against her face, carrying with it the distant sounds of morning traffic. It felt... different. Not because the apartment was luxurious. She had grown up surrounded by wealth. It felt different because every corner of this home had been chosen by her. Every painting. Every piece of furniture. Every flower on the dining table. Nothing reminded her of the life she had left behind. Her phone vibrated. Chris. "Good morning." His familiar voice carried an eas

    And that stayed with Adrian long after the meeting ended. It followed him through every conversation, every phone call, every mile of the drive home. For years, Chris had remained in the background. Present but distant. A familiar face Adrian never considered a threat. Now he couldn't stop seeing him everywhere. In boardroom discussions. In investor conversations. In industry reports. And worst of all— Beside Selena. Not physically. Not yet. But in every way that mattered. Chris was becoming the person she relied on. The person she trusted. The person Adrian used to believe would always be him. The thought made his chest tighten. By the time he pulled into the driveway, darkness had settled over the estate. The house stood illuminated against the night. Elegant. Familiar. Silent. Adrian sat in the car for a moment longer than necessary. Exhaustion weighed heavily on him. The last few weeks had felt like losing a war he didn't know how to fight. Every day some

  • Reborn To Ruin My Ex Husband    Chapter 44 — Chris Chooses a Side

    And Adrian hated how true that was. For weeks, he had watched the shift happen in real time. Investors sought Selena's opinion. Executives respected her judgment. Board members listened when she spoke. Meanwhile, every rumor surrounding him seemed to grow larger. Every question carried suspicion. Every conversation felt like an evaluation. The balance was changing. And then Chris made it worse. The dispute began on a Tuesday morning. Officially, it concerned a strategic partnership between Hale Group and a technology consortium represented by several major companies. Unofficially, it was a test. A test of influence. A test of credibility. And everyone knew it. The meeting took place in one of the largest conference halls in the city. Executives filled the room. Investors attended remotely. Industry media watched closely. What should have been a routine negotiation quickly became something else. Because Selena was there. And so was Adrian. The discussion started

  • Reborn To Ruin My Ex Husband    Chapter 43 — The Wife They Underestimated

    That realization stayed with Adrian throughout the week.Every conversation felt different.Every handshake felt weaker.Every smile seemed to hide a calculation.People were no longer asking how to help him.They were asking whether he was still worth following.And in the world of business, that question was often the beginning of the end.Meanwhile, Selena's schedule had become unexpectedly busy.Not because she was seeking attention.Because attention was finding her.The first request came from a major investor.A private lunch.Then another.And another.Soon, several shareholders who had spent years speaking primarily with Adrian were quietly reaching out to Selena.Not publicly.Not officially.Privately.Carefully.Testing the waters.Trying to understand what was really happening.Selena accepted the meetings.All of them.One Friday afternoon, she sat inside a private conference room overlooking the city.Three investors occupied the opposite side of the table.All experien
