The cold wind bit at Paulina’s face as she walked faraway from the café, her mind racing with the whole thing that had just transpired. She had agreed to work with Alexis, but the deal still felt like poison. It became a necessary evil, a partnership cast in desperation, however the bitterness of it lingered. Alexis wanted strength, and Paulina knew that the moment James became out of the manner, she would need to combat Alexis for manipulation. But right now, James changed into the bigger chance, and that they had to strike before he should make his next flow.

As Paulina reached her car, she paused, gripping the door deal tightly. The weight of everything changed into beginning to press down on her. She had spent years seeking to rebuild her lifestyles, and now the entirety became striking with the aid of a thread. The organization, her legacy, the people she trusted—they all seemed to be slipping through her palms.

Taking a deep breath, she unlocked the car and slid into the driver’

  • Reborn to revenge my cheating Husband    Chapter 215: The Light Prevails

    The days following the meeting with Alexander Vaughn were a whirlwind of strategic planning and high-stakes moves. With Vaughn’s insider knowledge and Marcus’s tactical brilliance, Paulina and her team systematically dismantled the network that had threatened everything they held dear.One by one, the shadow organization’s operations were exposed, their financial assets frozen, and their political ties severed. The coalition, now leaderless and powerless, crumbled under the weight of public scrutiny.For Paulina, the victory felt surreal. Standing in the control room of Nexus headquarters, she watched the news reports flood in with stories of communities flourishing, governments implementing reforms, and a global energy revolution taking root.“It’s over,” she whispered, her voice trembling with a mix of relief and disbelief.Elijah, standing beside her, wrapped an arm around her shoulders. “You did it, Paulina. You’ve changed the world.”She turned to him, tears shining in her eyes.

    The weight of the information on the flash drive stayed with Paulina throughout the night. The names and operations laid out in the files confirmed her worst fears this wasn’t just about energy or the coalition. It was a network of power that spanned industries, governments, and borders.By morning, Paulina had made up her mind. She paced the safe house living room, Elijah watching her carefully.“We can’t sit on this,” Paulina said, her voice firm. “The longer we wait, the more damage they can do.”Elijah nodded, though his protective instincts were clearly at war with her determination. “I agree. But if we’re going to act, we need a plan. Rushing in blind will only get us killed.”Paulina stopped pacing, turning to face him. “Then we need to find someone we can trust. Someone with the resources to take this on.”Her father, sitting quietly in the corner, cleared his throat. “I know someone. An old contact who helped me disappear. He has connections in places that matter. If anyone c

    Paulina’s heart pounded as her father’s urgent words hung in the air. The tension in the small apartment was suffocating.“Leave? Why?” she demanded, her voice sharp. “You owe me an explanation!”Her father grabbed a small bag from the corner of the room, his movements frantic. “There’s no time. They’ve found me.”“They?” Elijah asked, stepping protectively in front of Paulina. “Who are you running from?”Her father hesitated, his eyes darting to the window as the sound of footsteps approached the building. “The people who’ve been after me for years. The same ones targeting you, Paulina. I didn’t want you involved, but now it’s too late.”Paulina’s chest tightened. “You knew about the coalition?”“They’re just a piece of the puzzle,” he replied. “The real players are far more dangerous.”The footsteps grew louder, and Elijah’s protective instincts kicked in. “We need to move now,” he said firmly.Paulina hesitated, torn between her anger at her father’s years of absence and the clear

    Paulina barely slept that night. The possibility that her father might still be alive churned in her mind, stirring old memories she had tried to bury. She lay awake, staring at the ceiling, her thoughts racing.Elijah stirred beside her, turning to face her in the dim light. “Paulina,” he said softly, his voice laced with concern. “You’re still awake.”She sighed, her gaze meeting him. “I can’t stop thinking about it. If he’s alive… Why now? Why come back after all these years?”Elijah reached for her hand, his touch warm and reassuring. “We’ll find out. But whatever the reason, you’re not facing it alone.”Paulina gave him a faint smile, her heart aching with gratitude. “I don’t deserve you, Elijah.”“You deserve everything,” he said firmly, leaning in to kiss her forehead.The next morning, Paulina called Leila into her office. “I want you to dig deeper,” she said. “If my father is alive, I need to know where he’s been all these years and why he’s resurfacing now.”Leila nodded, he

    Paulina sat on the edge of her bed, the photo still in her hand. The man in the picture her father was a ghost she thought she had buried long ago. She hadn’t spoken of him in years, not even to Elijah. The idea that someone had gone to such lengths to dig into her past filled her with dread.Elijah walked into the room, carrying two mugs of tea. He placed one beside her and crouched down to meet her gaze.“You don’t have to tell me everything right now,” he said gently. “But whatever this is, Paulina, I’m here for you.”She gave him a faint smile, her fingers brushing against his. “Thank you. It’s just… complicated. My father wasn’t a good man, Elijah. If someone’s using him against me, it could get ugly.”Elijah’s jaw tightened. “Then we’ll face it together. Whoever’s doing this doesn’t know who they’re messing with.”Paulina chuckled softly, the sound bittersweet. “You always know how to make me feel stronger, even when I don’t want to.”“That’s because you are strong,” Elijah said

    The Kenya site had become a symbol of hope after the coalition’s failed attack. The lights glowing brightly across the village were a testament to the resilience of the Nexus team and the community that had stood with them. For the first time in weeks, Paulina allowed herself to breathe.She sat outside with Elijah that evening, the cool night air brushing against her skin. The stars above seemed brighter, more vivid, as if celebrating their victory.“You’ve been quiet,” Elijah said, his voice soft.Paulina looked at him, a small smile playing on her lips. “I’m just thinking about everything. The coalition, the people we’ve helped… and what’s next.”Elijah reached for her hand, his grip steady. “What’s next is for us to keep building. But you don’t have to carry all of it alone, Paulina. We’re in this together.”She turned to him fully, her heart swelling with gratitude. “You always know what to say. I don’t think I’d have made it this far without you.”Elijah smiled, leaning closer.
