SCORNED EX WIFE : Queen Of Ashes Chapter 192
Chapter 192The morning rain pounded against the windows of Pierce Enterprises as Alexander reviewed the latest energy forecasts. His fingers trembled slightly as he reached for his coffee, the weight of last night's discoveries still pressing down on his chest like a stone. Across the city, Victoria Kane was discovering that someone had been probing her company's deepest secrets.His phone buzzed against the mahogany desk. Victoria's name flashed on the screen, sending ice through his veins. He let it ring twice before answering, his voice carefully controlled."Victoria. Good morning.""Alexander." Her tone was sharp, cutting through the phone like a blade. "I need to see you. My office. One hour."The line went dead. Alexander stared at the phone, his heart hammering against his ribs. Had they traced the cyberattacks back to him? Had someone discovered his connection to "Guardian"?He stood and walked to his office window, watching the city blur through streams of rain. Twenty stor

Chapter 191New York's skyline welcomed Camille and Alexander home after six weeks of Italian sun. Their penthouse apartment filled with gifts and flowers as news of their return spread through social circles. Among the bouquets sat an arrangement of white lilies. The card read simply: "Welcome home. -V."Alexander stared at those lilies longer than the others, something cold settling in his stomach as he touched a single white petal with his fingertip."She called twice while we were unpacking," Camille said, coming up behind him and slipping her arms around his waist. "Victoria can barely wait to see us. She's arranged dinner tomorrow night."Alexander turned in her embrace, burying his face in her hair to hide his expression. "I've missed her too," he lied, his voice steady despite the acid taste of the words.** **Their first week back passed in a whirlwind of meetings and business dinners. Camille threw herself into work at Kane Industries with the same passion she brought to ev

Chapter 190Alexander stood on their villa's balcony, watching the Italian sunset paint the sky in shades of orange and purple. Behind him, Camille slept deeply, exhausted from their day exploring Capri's winding streets and hidden coves. Her soft breathing carried through the open door, a steady rhythm that should have brought him peace.Instead, his mind wandered back to New York, to a day that had changed everything. Two days before his engagement party. Two days before he'd committed to building a life with Camille.The memory hit him with physical force, as vivid now as it had been then.*** ***Rain had pounded the windows of his Manhattan penthouse. Alexander had been reviewing contracts when his doorman called up."Package for you, Mr. Pierce. No delivery service, just left at the desk."The plain manila envelope sat on his kitchen counter for an hour before he opened it. No markings, no return address. Just his name typed on a white label.When he finally slit it open, severa

Chapter 189Victoria Kane stood at her office window, watching rain stream down the glass in crooked rivers. The sky hung heavy and dark over Manhattan, matching her mood. While Camille and Alexander continued their extended honeymoon in Italy, basking in Mediterranean sun and newlywed joy, Victoria faced a concerning situation alone.Behind her, Jason Chen, head of Kane Industries security, waited silently. His reflection in the window looked as grim as she felt. On her desk lay an open folder, the reason for this unscheduled meeting, the reason for the sudden tightness in her chest."When did this start?" Victoria asked, not turning from the window."First breach was detected nine days ago," Jason replied. "Initially appeared random. Pattern only became clear yesterday when we ran a full system audit."Victoria traced a raindrop's path down the glass with her finger. "And you're certain about the focus?""Yes. The searches were methodical. Starting with general corporate records fro

Chapter 188The hidden cove embraced them in afternoon warmth, waves whispering against smooth rocks worn by centuries of salt and water. Camille spread their blanket on a patch of sand while Alexander uncorked wine with his good hand. The scene should have been idyllic, two newlyweds in paradise, skin golden in Mediterranean sun, the world reduced to blue water and each other's touch.Instead, Alexander's mind played his uncle's final words on endless repeat: "Victoria Kane has taken everything. There's nothing left. Tell Alexander I'm sorry.""You're doing it again," Camille said, settling beside him on the blanket. "Going somewhere else while your body stays here."Alexander poured wine into plastic cups, buying time. "Sorry. Just enjoying the view.""You weren't looking at the view. You were looking through it." She accepted her cup, studying him over its rim. "I'm starting to think I'm honeymooning with a ghost."He forced a laugh, though panic fluttered in his chest. Camille saw

Chapter 187Morning light poured through the windows of their Positano villa, painting golden stripes across rumpled sheets. Camille's sleeping form barely stirred as Alexander slipped from bed. His bandaged hand throbbed with each heartbeat, twelve stitches pulling tight against swollen skin. A fitting reminder of the ugliness beneath his carefully maintained surface.He moved silently across the tiled floor, retrieving his phone from the nightstand. Seven days into their honeymoon, the pattern had been established: rise before Camille, check messages, delete evidence, return to bed as the loving husband she deserved.In the bathroom, door shut and water running to mask any sound, Alexander opened the encrypted messaging app. The contact listed simply as "Guardian" had left three new texts during the night.*Located additional documents from 2013. Kane Industries' targeted takeover plan for Pierce Enterprises mentions Richard by name. Victoria Kane personally signed off on all moves.
