Shattered Vows Chapter Nine The Shift
ElenaIt started with subtle things.Daniel began watching me the way I used to watch him—closely, suspiciously, like he’d suddenly become the prey in a game he didn’t understand. And maybe, on some level, he knew.The rules had changed.He came home early from work that Friday. No meetings. No dinner plans. Just an anxious presence drifting through the house like a ghost looking for something to haunt.“You’ve been… different,” he said carefully.I looked up from my book, legs folded neatly beneath me on the chaise. “Different how?”“I don’t know. Distant. Calm.”“Would you rather I scream and throw things?” I asked, arching a brow.He exhaled slowly. “No. I just… I want to fix this.”I closed the book, placing it gently beside me. “You can’t fix something you don’t understand, Daniel. You broke a version of me you can’t put back together.”“I made a mistake—”“A mistake is leaving the stove on. You chose her. Again. And again. And ag

ElenaJulian West was not what I expected.I thought he’d be bitter. Angry. A man hollowed out by disgrace and scandal.Instead, he was calm. Composed. Like someone who had already made peace with the wreckage Sophie left behind—and was waiting patiently to see her fall next.He met me at a private lounge downtown. No one knew we were there. He insisted.“She ruined your life,” I said, once we were seated across from each other.Julian stirred his drink, slow and deliberate. “No. I let her ruin it. That was my mistake.”“Do you regret it?”“Regret’s a waste of time,” he replied. “But revenge? That’s something worth investing in.”There it was—that fire I was hoping for.“She’s involved with my husband,” I said.Julian didn’t flinch. “Of course she is.”“You don’t seem surprised.”“Because Sophie doesn’t love men. She uses them. Until there’s nothing left.”I leaned forward. “I want her exposed. Every dirty secret. Every lie. I

ElenaAffairs are delicate things—beautiful in the beginning, reckless in the middle, and suffocating at the end.Especially when trust becomes a weapon.That night, I watched Daniel sleep.Or pretend to.His breathing was uneven. His fingers twitched. His body was still, but his mind was moving. I could feel it.Sophie had called him. I knew she had. And it hadn’t gone well.By morning, the mask he wore was thinner.He didn’t kiss me goodbye. Didn’t touch his breakfast. Just stared at his phone like it held a ticking bomb.And maybe it did.I waited exactly two hours before calling Rachel. “He’s unraveling.”“Then so is she,” she said. “I’ve got something you’ll want to see.”I met her at her apartment. She handed me a flash drive and poured two glasses of wine—no words, no need. We were past small talk now.“She sent Daniel a voice note last night,” Rachel said. “Crying. Accusing him of betrayal. I intercepted it through a trace

ElenaSecrets rot from the inside out.I knew that better than anyone now.The photo on my phone burned into my mind—Sophie standing over a lifeless man. It wasn’t just scandal anymore. It was something far worse.And somehow, Daniel was still tangled in her web.I spent the next few days pretending.Pretending I still trusted him. Pretending we were normal. Pretending I wasn’t one step away from detonating the world he thought he controlled.The anonymous message came again.“Meet me. Tonight. Park Lane Hotel. Room 914.”No name. No voice. Just instructions.Rachel thought it was a trap. Julian thought it was reckless.I went anyway.Because fear wasn’t enough to stop me anymore.The hotel was old money—classic, elegant, the kind of place where secrets hid behind polished doors. Room 914 was at the end of the hall, dimly lit and silent.I knocked once.The door opened a fraction.A woman stood inside, face hidden benea

ElenaThey say revenge is a dish best served cold.I disagreed.I wanted Sophie to feel it. To choke on it. To burn with it.I wanted every smug smile she’d ever thrown my way to wither and rot.When I opened the files from the flash drive that night, a sick sort of satisfaction bloomed in my chest.Bank statements. Names. Dates. Scans of contracts forged under false pretenses. Videos—grainy but damning—of Sophie whispering promises to men who clearly weren’t in their right minds.I stayed up until dawn piecing together her empire of lies, a twisted mosaic of ambition and destruction. Every click of my mouse stitched a little more resolve into my bones.By morning, my plan was crystal clear.No messy confrontations. No screaming matches.I would end Sophie Mitchell the way she had tried to end me.Quietly. Thoroughly. Completely.I uploaded the files to a secure server, wrote an anonymous email to one of the city’s most ruthless i

ElenaThe silence after a storm is never peace.It’s pressure. Dense and invisible. The kind that makes your lungs ache when you try to breathe.That’s how it felt the morning after Sophie showed up at my door—unhinged, humiliated, hungry for blood.I stood at the kitchen sink, staring out at the garden like I hadn’t just lit a match to someone’s carefully constructed life.But I wasn’t naïve.Sophie Mitchell wasn’t going to crumble quietly. She was going to claw her way back up—no matter how many bodies she had to step over.And I knew exactly who she’d come for first.Me.The first shot came mid-morning.A news article leaked.“Former Doctor Elena Hart Accused of Falsifying Patient Records During Divorce Investigation.”I blinked at the headline, heart thudding in my chest.It was a lie.But it was exactly the kind of lie Sophie would craft—just enough truth to raise suspicion, just enough poison to spread fast.Rachel ca

ElenaThere’s a line you cross when you realize survival isn’t enough.You want justice. You want them to suffer. You want the world to know what they did.That’s where I was.And I wasn’t coming back from it.I didn’t eat. I barely slept. I stayed in my home office for two days, combing through every piece of evidence I had—building a case not just to clear my name, but to obliterate Sophie’s. And Daniel’s, if he didn’t stay the hell out of my way.The documents from the flash drive painted a clear picture. Sophie hadn’t just seduced my husband—she had used him, recorded him, and kept detailed records of every illegal transaction she made through his name and mine.She was planning my downfall long before she ever stepped foot in our home.I’d collected voice memos, emails, hidden surveillance footage. But I needed more than evidence.I needed a witness.A man named Carter Wilde had once been a high-profile client of Sophie’s—wealthy, powerfu

ElenaI arrived at the studio before dawn.The producer looked me over like I was some delicate, half-crazed woman who might shatter under the weight of a single question.Let them think I was fragile.They’d learn soon enough—I was forged in betrayal, and fire was now my weapon.The lights were hot, the cameras unforgiving. The same chair Sophie had sat in just days ago now held me—her enemy. Her mirror.The interviewer cleared his throat. “You know there will be consequences, Dr. Hart.”I smiled. Cold. Certain.“I’m counting on it.”The red light blinked on.“Today,” he began, “we have Dr. Elena Hart, the ex-wife of Daniel Hart, and the woman accused of stalking, hacking, and threatening Sophie Mitchell. Dr. Hart, do you deny these accusations?”“I don’t just deny them,” I said, voice steady. “I can prove they were orchestrated. Fabricated. This isn’t a story of heartbreak. It’s a story of obsession—but not mine.”I pulled the flash

Shattered Vows Chapter Twenty When Graves Speak
Elena It wasn’t enough to know Sophie was a liar. I needed to prove it—publicly, undeniably, irreversibly. That meant going where no one had dared. To the beginning. To Ava’s grave. The cemetery sat on the outskirts of town, forgotten by most, surrounded by wild grass and rusted gates. Jasper parked beside me in silence, letting the engine hum as he stared out the windshield. “You sure about this?” he asked. “No,” I admitted. “But we’re past that point.” He nodded. “Her records say she was cremated. No real burial. But I found a stone. Someone placed it for her anyway. A symbolic grave. Maybe guilt. Maybe Sophie.” The wind howled as we walked. I found the name carved faintly into a weathered headstone: Ava Montgomery 1992 – 2011 “She was light before she was taken.” Taken. Not lost. Not gone. Taken. That word wasn’t random. Someone had carved it in pain. “Who was she, really?” I asked aloud, my voice caught between anger and grief. “And what did Sophie take from her
Shattered Vows Chapter Nineteen The Secret Sophie Buried
ElenaThe news hit like a wrecking ball.Not the articles I’d leaked. Not the testimonies or the financial breadcrumbs I’d strategically dropped.This one wasn’t mine.It came from her.A controlled explosion, wrapped in glossy PR, delivered like an act of mercy.But I knew better.Sophie Mitchell didn’t do mercy.She did strategy.I was standing in my kitchen, staring at the screen when the headline hit.“Sophie Mitchell Speaks Out: My Battle With Mental Illness, Abuse, and Silence.”She was sitting on a cream couch, soft lighting bathing her face like some tragic heroine.“I’ve been running from the truth for years,” she said, voice trembling perfectly. “But no more. I was in an emotionally abusive relationship. And when I finally escaped, I found myself stalked, harassed, and falsely accused by another woman who refused to let go of her pain.”My name wasn’t mentioned.But everyone knew.I was the other woman.The bitter ex-wife. The broken doctor. The unhinged stalker.Her crocodi
Shattered Vows Chapter Eighteen Revenge School
ElenaRevenge isn’t impulsive.It’s methodical. Ruthless.You study your enemy. You learn how they breathe, what makes them tick, where they bleed.And then you make sure the knife goes deep enough they never crawl back.I wasn’t just going to ruin Sophie Mitchell.I was going to erase her.After the arrest, the suspension, and the media firestorm, I should’ve been hiding.But pain has a way of sharpening you into something unrecognizable.Rachel begged me to lie low.But I had other plans.I started by visiting the one person who hated Sophie more than I did.Her ex.Jasper Blake.He was once her partner—romantic, professional, maybe even criminal. I wasn’t sure yet. But what I did know was that Sophie had left him behind to burn, taking his clients, his company, and his reputation with her.He hadn’t surfaced in years.Until now.I found him in a crumbling villa on the edge of the city. Disgraced, disbarred, drunk
Shattered Vows Chapter Seventeen The Cell
ElenaCold metal. Fluorescent lights. A buzzing silence so thick it felt like it crawled into your skin.I sat alone in the interrogation room, wrists cuffed, heart racing.They hadn’t formally charged me yet, but the message was loud and clear:You’re not just under attack anymore, Elena. You’re officially at war.And I was losing ground.The two detectives sitting across from me wore polite masks—expressions that said we’re just doing our job, but eyes that screamed we already think you’re guilty.“Dr. Hart,” the lead detective began, flipping through his file, “there’s testimony from the victim’s sister that you falsified the surgical consent. That you performed without her full understanding of the risks. Would you like to explain that?”“No,” I said flatly. “Because it’s not true. That case was reviewed, cleared, and archived a year ago. There was no negligence. No falsification.”He raised an eyebrow. “Interesting, because the hospital board
