The CEO's Ex-Wife Returns with Genius Twins Chapter 30: The Promise Under the Stars
As evening approached, the park emptied, leaving the quiet estate grounds bathed in the twilight glow of a fading summer sun. Back at Rosewood Estate, the twins were fast asleep in their second-floor bedroom. Chloe was snuggled deeply into her soft pastel blankets, hugging her plush bear, while Leo’s tablet sat charging quietly on his bedside table, finally powered off for the night.Out on the quiet second-story balcony overlooking the illuminated gardens, Victoria stood leaning against the smooth marble balustrade. The cool night breeze rustled through her dark hair as she looked up at the vast, clear night sky, taking in a quiet moment of reflection.Soft, familiar footsteps echoed on the stone floor behind her. Ethan stepped onto the balcony, holding a warm cashmere wrap. Without a word, he draped it gently over her shoulders, standing close behind her and wrapping his arms securely around her waist. Victoria leaned back into his warm chest, closing her eyes as she let out a lon
The CEO's Ex-Wife Returns with Genius Twins Chapter 29: The Family Outing
A month passed in North City, bringing a calm that the capital’s high-society circles hadn't witnessed in over a decade.With Jonathan Drake stripped of his assets and facing a lifetime sentence, and Victoria’s uncle officially ousted from the Sterling legacy, the remaining corporate factions quickly fell into line. Victoria merged the domestic shipping networks into Sterling Global Holdings, while Ethan restructured Vance Enterprise's executive board, delegating daily operations to his trusted vice presidents.For the first time in his career, President Ethan Vance wasn't in his corner office at 7:00 AM. Instead, he was standing in the middle of a sunlit meadow at North City Central Park, holding a giant box of juice pouches while watching Chloe chase a flutter of orange butterflies across the grass. "Daddy! Look how fast I can run!" Chloe cheered, her little red sneakers kicking up tiny puffs of dust as she zipped past him."You're like lightning, Chloe," Ethan called out, a brigh
The CEO's Ex-Wife Returns with Genius Twins Chapter 28: A New Morning
The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and warm vanilla pancakes drifted through the spacious, sunlit kitchen of the Rosewood Estate. Morning light streamed through the grand French windows, casting a golden glow over the long marble island where the family gathered.Chloe sat on a high chair, her tiny hands sticky with maple syrup as she carefully placed strawberry slices on her plate. "Daddy, look! I made a strawberry mountain!"Ethan, who had rolled up his sleeves and shed his dark suit jacket, sat right beside her. He leaned in with total seriousness, inspecting her creation. "That is an engineering marvel, Chloe. It might even be taller than Vance Tower."Chloe giggled, swinging her legs happily. Across the island, Leo sat with his tablet resting beside a pristine stack of pancakes, reading through the morning's global economic dispatches. He took a small bite before looking up at Ethan. "Dad, the European maritime regulators officially cleared Sterling Global's acquisition of the

The storm had cleared by the time the Maybach pulled through the high iron gates of the Rosewood Estate. Golden rays of dawn broke over the horizon, painting the morning sky in shades of warm amber and soft rose.Inside the quiet cabin of the car, Victoria rested her head against the headrest, her dark eyes reflecting the fading shadows of the night. Beside her, Ethan sat in vigilant silence, his dark coat still draped over her shoulders.As the car came to a smooth stop at the front porch, Mark opened the passenger door, bowing respectfully. "Boss, President Vance. The estate is completely secure. The federal task force has taken full custody of Drake's remaining operatives."Victoria stepped out of the vehicle, the cool morning air sweeping past her face. She paused, turning her eyes back toward Ethan, who was stepping out onto the driveway behind her."You don't need to stand guard anymore, Ethan," Victoria said softly, her tone lacking its usual razor-sharp venom. "Jonathan Drake
The CEO's Ex-Wife Returns with Genius Twins Chapter 26: The Fall of the Architect
The torrential rain battered the asphalt of the private airstrip at North City’s northern border. A sleek gulfstream jet sat on the tarmac, its turbines whining as the flight crew prepared for an immediate, unauthorized takeoff.Inside the luxury cabin, Jonathan Drake paced frantically back and forth across the carpeted aisle, clutching a leather briefcase stuffed with bearer bonds and decrypted offshore drive keys. His usual aristocratic composure was entirely gone, replaced by a wild, sweating panic."Why haven't we cleared the runway yet?!" Jonathan roared, storming toward the cockpit door and pounding his fist against it. "I paid the air traffic controller two million dollars! Move this plane!"The cockpit door swung open, but it wasn't the pilot who stepped out.It was Mark. He stood calmly in the doorway, folding his arms across his chest with a cold, disciplined smile. "I'm afraid your flight has been permanently grounded, Mr. Drake."Jonathan staggered back in horror, droppin
The CEO's Ex-Wife Returns with Genius Twins Chapter 25: The Midnight Ambush
The rain began to fall in heavy, relentless sheets over the secluded mountain pass leading out of North City. Thunder rumbled across the dark valley, drowning out the low hum of the approaching armored convoy.Inside the rear passenger cabin of the central SUV, Victoria sat with complete poise, her silk blouse replaced by a fitted black tactical trench coat. Across from her, Mark monitored four live holographic camera angles streaming directly from the advance recon vehicles."Boss," Mark reported, his voice low and steady. "The decoy cargo transport has just entered the narrow canyon pass at Mile 14. Thermal scanners indicate eight unmarked off-road vehicles positioned on the high ridges above."Victoria swirled a small glass of warm water, her expression as calm as a frozen lake. "Jonathan Drake’s personal mercenary unit. He used the exact same strike team to stage the corporate accident that injured my mother's former secretary five years ago.""They've set up a spike strip and hea
