VICTORIA

I didn't go straight to Serena after what Trent told me. That would have been the wrong move. I had learned a long time ago that the worst thing you could do when you suspected someone was to tip them off before you had proof. So I went back to my office, closed the door, and called Elio.

"I need a full audit on Serena's team," I said. "Not just Serena. Everyone who had access to the case files. Communications, transfers, the whole thing."

"How discreet are we talking?" he asked.

  • The Divorce That Made Me A Billionaire    Chapter 151

    VICTORIAI didn't try to sleep that night. There wasn't any point.I worked until midnight, going through case files, checking every detail, making sure I hadn't missed anything. Then I put everything down, showered, changed into clean clothes, and sat by the window with a glass of wine I poured and barely touched.The city looked normal at this hour. Moving. Lit up. Loud in some places and quiet in others. I had spent a lot of late nights looking at it over the past two years and I had stopped trying to find something comforting in it. It was just the city. It didn't care about me and I didn't need it to.I thought about the woman I had been four years ago.She had worn long sleeves in summer. She had apologized for things that weren't her fault. She had stood in a restaurant in a dress she'd spent too long picking out, holding a card she'd spent too long writing, waiting for a man who had been planning to leave her the whole time.She had believed, right up until the moment she coul

    VICTORIAThe name Trent gave me was Celestine Vare.I didn't know it. I had never heard it, and I had spent two years learning the name of every person who had ever stood between me and what I was building. That was what made it worse. This woman had been operating close enough to damage me without ever appearing on any radar I had access to.I called Elio that same afternoon."I need everything you can find on a woman named Celestine Vare," I said. "She’s seventy-one years old. Used to be in luxury holdings. Stepped back from public view fifteen years ago.""Timeline?" he asked."Forty-eight hours," I said.He came back with something in less than that.What he sent me was thin in the places that actually mattered. There were no public filings or any recent interviews. No board seats or company names she was currently attached to. On paper, Celestine Vare was a retired woman living quietly somewhere in the northeast with a portfolio that had been gradually wound down over the past de

Communications, transfers, the whole thing.""How discreet are we talking?" he asked."Completely," I said. "Nobody should hear about this.""I'll need to call in a favor," he said."Call it in," I told him.He called me back eighteen hours later.I was still at my desk when my phone rang, still going through documents I'd already read three times because I needed something to do with my hands. I picked up on the first ring."Serena's clean," Elio said.I let out a breath. "But?""But one of her junior associates isn't," he said. "A girl named Priya. Twenty-six. She's been on the team

  • The Divorce That Made Me A Billionaire    Chapter 148

    VICTORIAI stared at the screen for a long time without moving.Serena.I had known her for two years. She had been my lawyer before she became my friend, and at some point, the line between those two things had blurred and I hadn’t cared too much about that.She was the one who had walked through my office door when things were still fragile and told me she knew exactly how to build a case that would hold. She had been right. She had filed the first documents, drafted the first strategy, stood in rooms, and argued for me when I wasn’t always around to argue for myself.She also knew everything.Every piece of evidence. Every witness. Every move I was planning to make in that courtroom in four days. If she had been feeding information to someone this whole time, then it wasn't just Lena who was exposed. It was all of it. Every card I had been holding.I put the phone down on the table. Then I made myself think slowly and carefully. It was late. I hadn't slept much. The last two days h

    VICTORIA"I didn't leak her name," he said. No greeting, no lead-up, no warmup. Just that, straight out, like he had been holding it in for a long while and just had to say it.I didn't respond immediately. I let the silence stretch and do its work."Victoria," he said."I heard you," I replied.There was another short pause. "I need you to believe me.""You need a lot of things from me, Trent. That doesn't mean you get them."He let out a slow breath. I could hear movement on his end; the soft sound of a door closing, like he had stepped somewhere private to make this call. That small detail stayed with me."I know how it looks," he said. "The timing is as bad as it gets. The hearing gets pushed up, Lena's name goes out the same night, and I'm the first person everyone points at. I get it. But it wasn't me. And whoever did it wasn't acting on anything I said."I leaned back in my chair. "You've been working against me for months," I said. "You hired people to go through my past. You

  • The Divorce That Made Me A Billionaire    Chapter 146

    VICTORIAI stood in the darkness of my hotel room for a moment before I turned the lights on.I set the drive down on the table by the window and stayed where I was, looking out at the city. It was late and everything below looked bright and clean from up this high. It never looked clean from the ground. I had spent enough years down there to know that.I thought about Daniel's face when he placed the drive on the table. That flat, worn-out look of a man who had stopped pretending that what he had done was something other than what it was. I had walked in expecting him to be cold and calculating, like he would negotiate or make me feel like I needed him. Instead, he had just looked tired and almost relieved to hand it over.Then I thought about Trent in the elevator.The way he had said my name in that hallway. The look on his face that I still couldn't find the right word for. I had spent three years living under the same roof as that man and I knew every expression in his collection

    VICTORIAI didn’t say it back.The words hung between us heavily, like something fragile. Clark stood there, waiting. He didn’t push or move closer. He just watched me with those steady eyes of his that always made me feel seen in a way I didn’t fully enjoy.Love was messy. Love made people stupid.

    TRENT I didn’t sleep after the summit. Sleep felt like something I didn’t deserve. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her face. I wasn’t seeing the woman on the screens or the one everyone feared now. I saw the girl she used to be. The one who laughed too easily. The one who trusted me when she sh

    VICTORIAI hadn’t been back to my father’s house in years.I had stopped coming here even before the divorce. Not since I stopped pretending silence was peace. Not since I learned that walking away was sometimes the only way to stay whole.The gate opened slowly when my car pulled up, the metal cre

    VICTORIAHospitals always smelled the same.Clean, sharp, and empty in a way that had nothing to do with space. The smell clung to my nose as I walked through the sliding doors, my heels clicking too loudly against the pale floor. People turned their heads when they heard the sound. Not because the
