CLARK

I didn’t find out what Victoria traded until hours later.

That was the problem. With her, the danger was never loud. It moved quietly.

Isabella was safe. That part mattered. I watched her walk into the secure house with shaky hands and stubborn pride, alive and angry and breathing hard. She didn’t cry. She never did when it counted. She just nodded at me and said, “She paid for this.”

I didn’t like how she said it. I didn’t like how calm Victoria was when she arrived afterward.

  • The Divorce That Made Me A Billionaire    Chapter 152

    VICTORIAThe courtroom was the kind of room that made you feel the weight of everything the moment you walked in.It had high ceilings, bright lights, and the kind of silence that wasn't really silence, just the sound of people holding themselves very still because the room demanded it. I had been in a lot of important rooms over the past two years but this one was different. This one had consequences that would outlast the morning.I walked in with Serena beside me. Three years of work in folders on the table in front of us. I sat down, straightened my back, and placed my hands on the surface.Serena had the case materials arranged and was already going through her notes. She was focused. Whatever she had done about Priya in the hours since our call, she had set it aside and was fully here now. That was what made her good.Trent's team was across from us. He came in without looking at me. His lead counsel, Deena Reyes, looked at me the moment she sat down and kept looking. She was tr

    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

  • The Divorce That Made Me A Billionaire    Chapter 150

    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

    VICTORIAI 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."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

    CLARKI watched Victoria from across the room while the takeover went ahead slowly. Phones buzzed. Screens glowed. Voices stayed low and careful. Everyone moved the way people did when they knew something big was happening and they didn’t want to get in the way.Victoria didn’t pace. She didn’t rai

    ISABELLABy the time the sun came up, the story was already moving.That was how I knew I did it right.I sat at my kitchen table with my laptop open, a mug of cold coffee untouched beside me, watching the headlines in real time like a chess piece moved one square forward and suddenly the whole boa

    VICTORIA I didn’t react when she said it.Not because I didn’t hear her, but because reacting would have given her some kind of leverage.“I’m pregnant.”The words hung between us, but my face stayed calm. I took my time to study her for a while. I did it slowly and carefully, without any emotion.

    VICTORIAThe room was full before I even walked in.That was how I knew this panel was important.Cameras lined the walls. Phones were already raised. Investors, editors, and designers filled every seat, dressed like they wanted to be noticed but not remembered. The air buzzed with quiet excitement
