The CEO’s Ex-Wife Became a Billionaire Chapter 64 : The Childhood Connection
POV: Elena“Why did you want to change my birth certificate?”The question left my mouth before I could stop it.Across the study, Adrian’s father stood frozen, his face drained of color. The phone in my hand illuminated the message that had shattered the room’s fragile silence.ELENA, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO ADRIAN REALLY IS, ASK HIS FATHER WHY HE WANTED TO CHANGE YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE.Adrian stared at his father.“Dad?”His voice was quiet, but I heard the warning beneath it.“Tell me that message is a lie.”His father said nothing.That silence frightened me more than any confession could have.I tightened my grip on the phone. “My grandfather mentioned Project Eden in his diary. Now someone is telling me you wanted to alter my birth certificate. What does my identity have to do with your secret project?”“You are asking questions you don't understand,” his father finally replied.“Then explain them to me.”“Not here.”I laughed bitterly. “Of course. There is never a convenient p
The CEO’s Ex-Wife Became a Billionaire Chapter 63: Project Eden
POV: Elena’s The first thing I noticed was the date.October 14.The second was the amount.Forty-two million dollars.The third was the name printed beneath it.PROJECT EDEN.I stared at the screen, my fingers frozen above the keyboard.Outside the glass walls of my father’s private study, rain battered the windows. Somewhere downstairs, a clock chimed midnight, each note sounding like a warning I had ignored for far too long.I should have walked away.Instead, I clicked the file.A password prompt appeared.I tried my father’s birthday. Incorrect.My mother’s maiden name. Incorrect.The date of his wedding to my mother.Access granted.A bitter laugh escaped me.Of course.My father had built his entire life on the belief that secrets were safest when disguised as sentiment.The folder opened.Bank transfers. Offshore accounts. Shell companies. Signed agreements. Hundreds of documents arranged in meticulous order, each one stamped with the same two words.Project Eden.I scrolled
The CEO’s Ex-Wife Became a Billionaire Chapter 62 : The Old Diary
POV: ElenaThe secret room smelled of dust, damp wood, and something faintly metallic.Elena stood in the doorway, staring at the room her grandfather had kept locked for nearly twenty years.She had been here once as a child. She remembered the tall bookshelves, the heavy curtains, and her grandfather's warning never to enter without his permission. Back then, she had assumed the room contained business documents and old family photographs.Now she knew better.Three days ago, she had discovered that someone had falsified records connected to Laurent Holdings. Yesterday, a frightened former employee had warned her that her grandfather had hidden something before his death.And this morning, an anonymous message had led her here.Your grandfather left the truth where no one would think to look.Elena glanced over her shoulder.The corridor outside remained empty.She stepped inside and shut the door."All right, Grandfather," she whispered. "What were you so afraid of?"The room offer
The CEO’s Ex-Wife Became a Billionaire Chapter 61: The Confrontation
POV: Elena (Third-Person Limited)At 11:57 p.m., Elena stood alone on Pier 19, wondering whether the man she had trusted for years was about to save her life or end it.The wind swept across the water, carrying the sharp smell of salt and diesel. Somewhere beyond the rows of abandoned shipping containers, a ship's horn sounded through the darkness.She checked her phone again.No new messages.Marcus had insisted she come alone. Adrian had insisted she stay away. Neither man had given her a reason she could fully trust, and that was precisely what frightened her.For years, she'd believed loyalty meant standing beside the people who stood beside her. She was beginning to understand that sometimes the most dangerous people were the ones who knew exactly how to earn your loyalty.A sound came from behind her.She spun around.Marcus emerged from the shadows, his coat unbuttoned, his face drawn with exhaustion. There was a fresh cut above his left eyebrow.Elena's breath caught."Who did
The CEO’s Ex-Wife Became a Billionaire Chapter 60 : The Betrayer
POV: Elena The first lie came dressed as a warning.“Elena, you need to stay away from Marcus.”Elena looked up from the documents spread across her desk. Vanessa stood in the doorway, pale and visibly shaken, clutching her phone as though it contained something capable of destroying them both.“What happened?”Vanessa closed the door behind her.“Someone accessed the company's confidential files last night. The files relating to Adrian's investigation, the offshore accounts, everything.”Elena's vein tightened. “Who had access?”“Three people.” Vanessa hesitated. “You, Marcus, and me.”For a moment, the office seemed to shrink around Elena.“No.” She shook her head. “Marcus wouldn't do that.”“I said the same thing.” Vanessa crossed the room and placed her phone on the desk. “Until I saw this.”On the screen was a security report showing a login at 11:47 p.m. The credentials belonged to Marcus.Elena stared at the timestamp.Marcus had called her at 11:32 that night. He had sounded
The CEO’s Ex-Wife Became a Billionaire Chapter 59 : The Trap
Elena's POVElena stared at the handwritten message on the table.“WE KNOW EVERYTHING YOU PLAN.“The words had been written by someone who had been listening to them.Watching them.Anticipating them.For the first time, Elena understood that hiding wasn't enough.They needed to know exactly how the enemy was getting their information.And there was only one way to find out.They needed to give the enemy something false.Something convincing.Something that only one person would know.Elena looked across the room at Adrian.“We need a trap.”Adrian's eyes narrowed.“What kind?”“One that doesn't require technology.”He understood immediately.“A false plan.”She nodded.“We create information that isn't real, give it to selected people, and wait.”Adrian leaned against the table.“If it leaks, we know who heard it.”“Exactly.”“And if they're monitoring us?”“Then we tell them something different.”A faint smile touched Adrian's mouth.“You're dangerous when you're angry.”Elena didn'
