AMARA'S POV

I sat behind my sleek, polished desk, the soft hum of the building’s air conditioning the only sound breaking the silence. The golden light filtering through the large windows made everything seem almost serene, but my mind was anything but peaceful.

So many nights had passed, each one filled with the haunting replay of events that had brought me to this point—betrayed, isolated, vulnerable. But now, it was time to reclaim control. I had learned from the wreckage of my past, and fr

  • Survived Betrayal, Made My Ex-Husband Crawl   CHAPTER 28;LOST

    Darius POV Just as she promised, the divorce papers had arrived at the mansion. I woke that morning to find them among the mail, and a surge of anger ripped through me. I couldn’t help but sweep everything within reach off the table, letting frustration take over. “Who does she think she is… divorcing me, leaving me like this?” I muttered, fists clenching. Lost in my thoughts, I barely noticed Helen bounding down the stairs in her crisp new school uniform. True to form, the spoiled brat yelled immediately. “Darius! I need breakfast! Make me something quickly!” I ignored her as she stepped closer, but her eyes caught sight of the divorce papers. Her tone shifted instantly, laced with excitement. “Aren’t you going to sign it? Do it quickly and get rid of that woman so Lena can move in already!” Her words made my blood boil. She idolized Lena like some kind of superstar, but this fan-girl obsession was getting out of hand. I stared her down, irritation burning in my eyes,

  • Survived Betrayal, Made My Ex-Husband Crawl   CHAPTER 27; A HIDDEN LETTER

    Alex's POV We arrived at James’s mansion with Sam, and the moment we stepped inside, the staff quickly rushed him to the infirmary. Every move was precise—he needed to be treated, the bullet removed, and his wounds cleaned and carefully bandaged. I stayed close, watching silently as the medics worked, my mind on edge with every step of the procedure.Once Sam was asleep, stabilized and resting in one of the guest rooms, James and I left the infirmary and began walking down the hall. The faint aroma of dinner reached us, and then I heard her—Emily, shouting James’s name in mock exasperation, gesturing for us to hurry. She had clearly already prepared everything.When she spotted me, her face lit up and she ran forward, wrapping me in a warm hug. “It’s been a while, brother,” she said, her smile genuine. Then, her tone shifted slightly, teasing. “And what are you doing in town? I hope you’re not dragging my husband into your crazy world again.” I chuckled, shaking my head. Emily alwa

  • Survived Betrayal, Made My Ex-Husband Crawl   CHAPTER 26;A NEW BEGINNING

    Amara's POV Darius had stormed out after our argument,and, for the first time,i felt a strange sense of relief. Finally, I didn’t have to pretend anymore—he knew I about his involvement in our child’s death. The weight of that truth was still heavy and that truth was poison between us, sharp and undeniable, but at least it was out in the open. Growing restless, I turned to the nurse Alex had assigned to me. “When will I be discharged?” I asked, my voice tinged with impatience. “In the next two days, ma’am,” she replied gently. “Your body still needs rest, and you’re in shock from the accident. We need to monitor you closely.” I sighed, running a hand through my hair. Doing nothing felt like torture. With the company in its current state, I couldn’t even bring myself to read the news—I knew Lena would officially step in today taking my father’s company from me, and the thought hollowed my chest. But I quickly forced myself to shift focus i had bigger battles to prepare for.. The d

  • Survived Betrayal, Made My Ex-Husband Crawl   CHAPTER 25;THE LOST PAINTING

    Alex's POV Darius stormed through the door, his eyes immediately locking onto Amara as he rushed to her side. The moment he saw me, his expression hardened—an immediate flash of irritation. I couldn’t help but observe him closely. The man exuded an air of insecurity, desperately seeking validation. No wonder he was so easily manipulated by Lena. I walked toward Amara, closing the distance between us, and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead. Her cheeks flushed, and a shy smile tugged at the corners of her lips. Was she enjoying this to make her husband jealous, or was it the effect my touch had on her? That, I couldn’t yet confirm. For a moment, I found myself lost in the warmth of her presence. But I quickly refocused, keeping my tone steady. “I’ll be back to check on you after I handle some work,” I said, keeping my voice calm, though a part of me didn’t want to leave. Darius seemed to seethe silently, his frustration obvious, but that was exactly the reaction I wanted. He cou

  • Survived Betrayal, Made My Ex-Husband Crawl   CHAPTER 24;THE DIVORCE

    Darius’s POV She didn’t come home last night after the meeting. I had tried calling her several times, each time my anxiety growing as the hours ticked by. It was strange, feeling both worried and yet strangely cowardly, knowing that I had a hand in pushing her further away. Lena’s words echoed in my mind, the money she’d transferred to me a reminder of my place in this twisted game we were all playing. Lena and I had been siphoning money from the company for a while now, and I knew it was one of the many reasons for the company’s declining financial state. That thought gnawed at me, but what really gnawed at me was Amara—how she had no idea the depths to which we had sunk. When I finally got a call from the hospital later that evening, I froze. She’d been in an accident. I didn’t hesitate. I threw on my coat and rushed to the hospital, dread building in my chest with each passing second. When I arrived at her room, the first thing I saw was another man standing by her bedside.

  • Survived Betrayal, Made My Ex-Husband Crawl   CHAPTER 23;A BOLD STEP

    Amara’s POV Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, the board meeting sealed my fate. Lena was announced as president of my father’s company. That scheming bitch had pulled it off—taking everything from me. I stormed out of the meeting, my mind racing with anger. Darius didn’t even look at me as I walked past him. I wanted to scream, to throw something. But instead, I just clenched my fists, fighting back the flood of emotion threatening to burst free. "Amara, wait—" Darius started, but I didn’t stop. I didn’t care anymore if they found out I was faking it. It seemed like even that wouldn’t be enough to save me from Lena. And if I had any chance of winning this fight, I had to play just as dirty as she had. I drove, the tears blurring my vision as I gripped the steering wheel. The helplessness was suffocating, and I hated feeling this way. Every road I took felt like it was leading me further into a pit I couldn’t escape. Without realizing it, I found myself at
