Sophia’s POV

The first report arrived at 8:13am in the morning.

Sophia almost ignored it.

She was standing in front of her bathroom mirror, fastening an earring, when her phone vibrated on the counter.

Private Number.

She frowned.

The investigator had promised to contact her only when he had something substantial.

Sophia answered.

“Hello?”

“Ms. Bennett?”

“Yes.”

“We need to talk.”

Her heart racing.

“What did you find?”

“Not over the phone.”

Sophia looked at herself in the mirror.

She suddenly di

    Adrian's POVThe photograph on Adrian's phone refused to leave his mind.Elena walking into the building.Eight months ago.Before she had returned to his life.Before their alliance.Before the threats.Before the falsified DNA report.Someone had been waiting for her.And that meant the cameras were never about Adrian alone.They were about both of them.Adrian called Daniel.“Tell me you traced the camera.”“I’m still working on it.”“Don't work on it remotely. Come back.”“Why?”“Because I think we're looking at this backward.”A pause.“What did you find?”Adrian stared at the photograph.“Our enemy wasn't reacting to our moves.”He lowered his voice.“They were planning them.”Elena sat on the edge of her bed, staring at the phone she had switched back on.Thirty-seven missed calls.Most were from Adrian.She ignored them.She wasn't ready to hear his voice.Not after what had happened.Not after believing, for even one terrible moment, that they might finally have another chanc

  • The CEO’s Ex-Wife Became a Billionaire   Chapter 57 : The Hidden Camera

    Adrian's POVAdrian stared at the anonymous message on his phone.The DNA report was only the beginning.His first instinct was to call Elena.His thumb hovered over her name.Then he stopped.She had told him not to come after her.For once, he would respect that.But respecting her decision didn't mean he would sit quietly while someone destroyed their lives.He looked around his office.Something about the room suddenly felt different.The expensive desk.The leather chairs.The shelves lined with business awards.The dark windows overlooking the city.Everything looked normal.Too normal.Adrian's eyes narrowed.If someone had manipulated the DNA report, they needed information about him and Elena. They needed to know what would hurt him.They needed access.And his office was where he had discussed almost everything.The alliance with Elena.The investigation.The threats.Their private conversations.His face tightened.He picked up his phone.“Daniel, I need a favor.”“I'm list

    Elena stared at the DNA report once again, until the words blurred.She had read it three times.Each time, the result remained the same.“Probability of paternity: 99.99%.“Adrian was Sophia's child's father.The man who had sworn he loved Elena.The man who had asked for another chance.The man she had finally allowed back into her life.Her fingers tightened around the report.Across the office, Adrian stood motionless.“Elena,” he said quietly, “please listen to me.”She looked up.There was no anger in her eyes anymore.That frightened him more than anger would have.“Listen to what?” she asked. “That you didn't know? That Sophia somehow made this happen without you? That another DNA report magically appeared with your name on it?”“I don't know how the report was produced.”“But it has your name on it.”“I know.”“And the result says you're the father.”Adrian raised his eyes.“I didn't have a child with Sophia.”Elena laughed once, bitterly.“That's exactly what you said before

    Elena’s POVThe envelope landed on Elena’s desk at 8:17 in the morning.No sender.No return address.Just her name printed across the front in black ink.ELENA LAURENT.She stared at it for several seconds before touching it.After everything that had happened, the blackmailer, the threats, the photograph of Adrian, the secret alliance, they had finally reached a fragile understanding.She had agreed to work with him.Not forgive him.Not forget their divorce.Not pretend the years of betrayal and pain had never happened.But she had trusted him enough to stand beside him.And now there was an envelope sitting on her desk that made her instincts scream.Her fingers tightened around the edge.“Don't open it.”Elena looked up.Adrian stood in the doorway.His tie was loosened, his dark hair slightly disordered, and there was a tension in his face that made her heart skip.“What are you doing here?”“I called you three times.”“I was busy.”“I know.”His eyes moved to the envelope.Some

  • The CEO’s Ex-Wife Became a Billionaire   Chapter 54 : The DNA Test

    Adrian’s POVAdrian stared at the sealed envelope on his desk.For several minutes, he didn't touch it.Inside was the request form for a private DNA test.One question.One answer.One result that could destroy everything he had spent the last few weeks trying to rebuild with Elena.His face tightened.Sophia's name was printed across the top of the paperwork.And beneath it was the name of the child.His child.Or so Sophia claimed.Adrian had heard the accusation before, but until now, he had refused to give it power.He had trusted Sophia once.That mistake had cost him years of his life.He wasn't going to make it again.His phone vibrated.Adrian glanced at the screen.“Private Laboratory: Your confidential testing request has been received.“He exhaled slowly.The test was officially in motion.He had arranged everything through a laboratory that handled sensitive cases for high-profile clients.
