Rejected Ex-Wife Returns As A CEO

Chapter TwoRain poured heavily outside the grand Kingston estate, the dark skies echoing the chaos inside. Sofia’s trembling fingers clutched the hem of her soaked dress as she stood in front of Aaron Kingston—the man she had once loved so deeply. But tonight, his icy glare held nothing but disgust.“You’re nothing but a liar and a gold digger!” His voice sliced through the air like a blade, each word sharper than the last.Sofia flinched, her heart hammering against her chest. The man she had nursed, comforted, and sacrificed everything for was now treating her like a stranger. No—like an enemy.“Aaron, please,” she whispered, voice cracking. “You know me. You know I would never—”“Stop!” he roared, shattering her words. His once-blind eyes, now piercing and filled with anger, bore into her as if searching for a lie. “Chloe told me everything. You lied about being pregnant for my money! Pretending to care while waiting for me to regain my sight and wealth? How low can you sink, Sof

The air felt different in Paris. Colder, sharper. The rain that had followed Sofia from Aaron’s estate had long since disappeared, replaced by the muted chill of winter sweeping through the narrow streets. Yet, the ache in her chest remained.She stood by the window of her modest apartment, a far cry from the lavish Kingston mansion she once called home. It was smaller, quieter, but it was hers. And for the first time in months, she felt a flicker of peace—fragile but present.Her gaze dropped to her swollen belly. The twins. Her boy and girl.She ran a gentle hand over the curve, feeling the soft movement beneath her palm. They were her reason now. Her anchor.But the hole left behind by the son she lost… that ache hadn’t faded. It gnawed at her in the silent moments, a relentless whisper reminding her of all she’d failed to protect.A knock echoed through the small space, jolting her from her thoughts.Sofia turned, heart pounding for a reason she couldn’t explain.She opened the do

Chapter SixThe cool night air brushed Sofia’s face as she stepped out onto the terrace, the distant hum of Paris filling the silence she so desperately needed. The soft glow from the ballroom spilled onto the marble floor, but out here, the world felt quieter.Calmer.But not her.Inside, her chest was a storm—rage, pain, memories she’d buried clawing back to the surface. The confrontation with Aaron had shaken her more than she wanted to admit. Her hands still trembled faintly, even as she gripped the stone railing for supp by ort.She had told herself she was stronger. That she was over him.But standing so close to him again, hearing that voice—the one that used to be her comfort—had stirred too many ghosts.He doesn’t deserve your pain.And yet, the ache remained.Behind her, the soft click of heels echoed, breaking her thoughts.Elise.Of course, she had followed. Always watching. Always assessing.“You’re unraveling,” Elise said softly, stepping beside her. No judgment, just f

Chapter SevenAaron sat frozen at his desk, the words echoing through his mind like a relentless drumbeat.“La Reina Holdings is owned by Sofia Laurent.”Sofia.His Sofia.No—she wasn’t his anymore.The woman he had seen at the gala was nothing like the soft-hearted wife he had once known. That Sofia had been fragile, gentle. The woman he had just crossed paths with? She was something far more dangerous.And now, she had come for his empire.The France deal was supposed to be a done deal—Kingston Enterprises’ biggest luxury expansion into Europe in years. Millions in projected revenue. Exclusive partnerships with elite designers.Ruined.By her.Aaron clenched his jaw, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the edge of his desk.The door to his office burst open, and Lucas, his younger half-brother and head of PR, stormed in, holding a tablet.“What the hell happened, Aaron?” Lucas demanded, tossing the device onto the desk.The headline was brutal.KINGSTON ENTERPRISES LOSES MULTI-

Chapter Ten The rain tapped softly against the glass of Aaron’s office window, matching the relentless pounding in his chest. He stood at his desk, staring out over the London skyline, but his mind was far from the city beneath him.It was back in Paris.Back in that penthouse where Sofia had stood before him, powerful yet broken, furious yet wounded.And she was lying.Not just about the deal.There was something deeper. Something she hadn’t said.The way she had stopped mid-sentence—“While I was…”Aaron couldn’t shake it.And now, as Lucas barged into the office with a thick folder, Aaron braced himself.“Well?” Aaron demanded, his voice rougher than he intended.Lucas set the folder down, his expression grim. “I found her. Chloe.”Aaron’s stomach tightened. “And?”Lucas hesitated, then exhaled, leaning against the desk. “You were right. She’s been lying to you. About everything.”Aaron’s chest felt like it caved inward.“Say it clearly, Lucas.”Lucas opened the folder, revealing a
