Chapter Eleven:The Mask Slips

Affairs 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 I placed on her cloud. You’re welcome.” I slid the drive into my laptop and pressed play. Sophie’s voice, trembling. “You promised me. You said we’d start over. Why are you pulling away now? Who got to you? Is it her? Did your wife finally grow a spine?” I smiled. She was spiraling. Rachel laughed softly. “And there’s more. I got a message from someone else who’s been watching her. Someone who says Sophie’s been blackmailing another man—someone powerful.” “Who?” “She didn’t give a name. Just said Sophie’s holding photos that could ruin someone’s career.” I leaned back, processing. This wasn’t just infidelity anymore. This was predation. And Daniel? He wasn’t her first. He wouldn’t be her last. But if I had anything to do with it, he’d be her last mistake. Back at home, the silence between us stretched tight. Until Daniel finally broke it. “She’s gone.” I looked up. “Who?” “Sophie. She’s cut contact. Deleted her socials. Disconnected her number. I don’t know where she is.” I tilted my head slightly, lips curving into something cold. “Is that a problem?” He didn’t respond. And I knew what he was thinking. He hadn’t ended things. She had. The power had shifted. And he hated it. I stood slowly, walked over, and placed a gentle hand on his chest. “You thought she loved you, didn’t you?” His jaw tightened. “She didn’t,” I whispered. “She needed you. Until you weren’t useful anymore.” “I don’t need this right now,” he snapped. “No,” I said, stepping back. “What you need is a mirror.” That night, I got another anonymous message. Just one sentence: “There’s more you don’t know about Sophie Mitchell. And it’s not just adultery—it’s criminal.” Attached: a blurry photo of a man—unconscious, maybe worse—sprawled on a hotel bed. Sophie standing over him. My hands trembled. She wasn’t just a homewrecker. She was a predator in silk. And I’d been playing too nicely.

Shattered Vows Chapter Twelve: Whispers in the Dark
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

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
