Chapter 81

Camille's phone buzzed on her nightstand, pulling her from a dreamless sleep. The screen glowed with Alexander's name. Not a text message, but an actual call at, she squinted, 5:36 AM.

"Hello?" Her voice was rough with sleep.

"Look out your window." Alexander's voice held an energy that made her sit up straight.

"It's not even dawn," she protested, but was already moving to the floor-to-ceiling glass that showcased the Manhattan skyline.

"East. Toward the water."

Camille pressed her forehead against the cool glass, eyes searching the horizon where night was reluctantly giving way to morning. "What am I looking for?"

"Wait for it."

As if on cue, the first ray of sunlight broke across the water, igniting the glass towers of the financial district in gold and fire. But it wasn't just the buildings that caught the light. An enormous structure floated in the harbor, a ship unlike any Camille had seen before. Its vast deck gleamed with what appeared to be thousands of mirrored pa

  • SCORNED EX WIFE : Queen Of Ashes   Chapter 233

    Chapter 233The gardens at Victoria's estate bloomed with late spring flowers as guests gathered under white silk tents for an occasion that felt both familiar and entirely new. Six months had passed since James Whitfield's arrest, six months of healing and rebuilding and learning to trust in love again.Camille stood in the estate's master bedroom, looking at herself in the antique mirror as Victoria helped her adjust the simple cream-colored dress she had chosen for the ceremony. This wasn't the elaborate wedding gown she had worn for her first marriage to Alexander - this dress was elegant but understated, chosen for comfort rather than spectacle."Are you nervous?" Victoria asked, fastening the pearl necklace that had belonged to her own mother around Camille's neck."Not nervous," Camille replied, touching the pearls gently. "Excited. Ready. This feels different from the first time.""Different how?"Camille turned to face Victoria, seeing her adoptive mother looking healthy and

    Chapter 232Camille sat in the back seat of the black sedan as it approached the women's correctional facility upstate, her hands trembling with nervous energy. Two weeks had passed since her rescue, two weeks of thinking about Rose's unexpected act of salvation, two weeks of remembering the sister she had once loved before everything went wrong between them.Alexander sat beside her, his face showing concern and uncertainty about this decision she had made against everyone's advice."Are you sure about this?" Alexander asked for the tenth time since they had left Manhattan. "Camille, you don't owe Rose anything, not even gratitude. She tried to have you killed.""She also saved my life," Camille replied, her voice steady despite the emotions churning in her chest. "Alexander, I need to see her. I need to look into her eyes and understand who she really is underneath all the hatred and manipulation."The correctional facility loomed ahead of them, a gray concrete structure surrounded

    Chapter 231Camille sat propped up in her hospital bed, the afternoon sunlight streaming through the window casting warm patterns across the white sheets. Three days had passed since her rescue, and the bruises on her face were beginning to fade from deep purple to yellow-green. Alexander sat in the chair beside her bed, holding her hand as she slowly regained her strength."The doctors say you can go home tomorrow," Alexander said, brushing a strand of hair from her forehead. "Victoria's already been discharged. She's at the estate, resting under doctor's orders."Camille smiled weakly. "Good. She needs to take care of herself. The cancer treatments, the stress from everything that's happened... I was so scared we were going to lose her."Alexander squeezed her hand gently. "We didn't lose anyone. We're all here, we're all safe, and James is in federal custody facing charges for kidnapping and murder.""What about Rose?" Camille asked quietly. "Has there been any word about her situa

    Chapter 230The abandoned textile warehouse in Queens stood silent against the gray dawn sky as federal agents took their positions around the building. Alexander crouched behind a concrete barrier with Stefan and FBI Special Agent Diana Chen, watching through binoculars as tactical teams prepared for the assault that would either save Victoria and Camille or confirm their worst fears about Rose's information."Two heat signatures on the third floor," Agent Chen whispered into her radio. "Stationary positions consistent with restrained captives. One mobile signature moving between them."Alexander felt his heart pounding as he realized the heat signatures meant Victoria and Camille were still alive. After hours of desperate searching and the agonizing decision to trust Rose, they had finally found them."Teams Alpha and Bravo, prepare for simultaneous breach," Agent Chen continued. "Priority is hostage safety. Suspect is considered extremely dangerous and likely armed."Stefan checked

  • SCORNED EX WIFE : Queen Of Ashes   Chapter 229

    Chapter 229The FBI command center at Federal Plaza buzzed with desperate activity as agents worked through the night searching for any trace of Victoria and Camille Kane. Computer screens displayed maps of potential hiding locations, surveillance footage from traffic cameras, and cell phone records that might reveal James Whitfield's whereabouts.Alexander sat at a table covered with photographs and documents, his eyes bloodshot from hours of staring at evidence that led nowhere. Every lead the FBI had followed turned into a dead end. Every potential location they searched turned up empty. James had planned this kidnapping with the same methodical precision he had used for his fifteen-year campaign of revenge.Stefan paced the room like a caged animal, his face etched with worry and frustration. "There has to be something we're missing. Some pattern, some connection that points to where James would take them."FBI Special Agent Diana Chen looked up from her computer terminal, exhaust

    Chapter 228James stepped closer to Victoria, the sharp blade catching what little light came through the broken windows. The metal looked cold and cruel in his steady hand."No," Camille whispered, her voice barely audible. "Please, no."Victoria closed her eyes, trying to prepare herself for what was coming. She had faced many difficult moments in her life - losing her husband, building her business from nothing, defending herself against enemies who wanted to destroy her. But nothing had prepared her for this.The first touch of the blade against her arm made her gasp. It was just a light pressure at first, not cutting, just letting her feel how sharp it was."My father spent his last years in a small, dark cell," James said quietly. "He told me in his letters how the other prisoners would threaten him, how the guards would look the other way when someone wanted to hurt him."The blade pressed harder against Victoria's skin. She bit her lip to keep from crying out."Stop it!" Camil
