The Divorce That Made Me A Billionaire Chapter 72
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 board had to adjust.Mara Dane.Her name was everywhere now.Not because she was innocent or because she was guilty, but because the story was believable. It was messy. It sounded human. And it was the kind of thing people loved to talk about because it made them feel smarter than the person on the screen.It involved a leaked contract dispute with hidden clauses and payments that looked legal until you stared at them for too long. It was nothing criminal, and it wouldn’t stick forever. Just enough smoke to pull the cameras away from Victoria.I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes for a moment.Controlled scandal. That was the phrase Victoria used. I hated how good I had gotten at it.M

VICTORIAI didn’t need to touch him.That was the funny part. The part most people never understood. They thought seduction meant skin, breath, heat, and fingers brushing by accident. It didn’t. Not for people like me. Seduction was patience. Attention. Knowing exactly when to speak and when to stay quiet.The board dinner was designed to feel harmless. It featured soft lights and neutral colors with gentle music that faded into the background. This was the kind of place where deals were made without anyone admitting they were being made. Everyone laughed too loudly and drank just enough to loosen their guard but not enough to lose control.I chose my seat before anyone else arrived.Marcus Vale sat three chairs away from me, exactly where I wanted him. He was a senior board member with old money and even older pride. He had once been important. He still was, but no one treated him that way anymore. People spoke over him. They nodded politely and moved on.Neglect made people hungry.

VICTORIAI didn’t expect Trent to be the one waiting for me.The summit hall had finally emptied enough for me to breathe properly again. The staff moved more slowly now. Voices dropped. The night was softer now, but still heavier. It was silent, but it was the kind that came after something important happened and everyone knew it, even if they didn’t fully understand it yet.I had stepped into a private lounge meant for sponsors who wanted silence and good lighting. I planned to stay there for five minutes. Just enough time to think and reset.When the door suddenly closed behind me, I didn’t jump. I never did anymore.“Victoria,” Trent said.I turned slowly.He stood near the wall, hands shoved into his pockets like a man who didn’t know what to do with them. His suit was still perfect, but his face wasn’t. He looked thinner, tired, and older than I remembered, even though it hadn’t been that long.I felt nothing at first. No anger or shock. Nothing at all.“Leave,” I said.He swal

CLARKThe moment Victoria sat back down, I already knew I wasn’t staying in that room.The summit hall was still buzzing behind me. Applause rolled in, sounding loud and messy. Whispers followed right after. People leaned toward each other, pretending they weren’t gossiping while clearly doing just that. Phones were already out. Messages were being sent. Opinions were being formed in real time.Cameras kept flashing, hunting for reactions. They chased faces, looking for shock. They chased her.Victoria Hale didn’t look back. She didn’t need to.She sat there calmly, legs crossed, hands relaxed on her lap like she hadn’t just bent the room to her will without stepping on the stage. That was her gift. Bring in control without effort. Or at least, without any visible effort.I felt it in my chest. Pride. Want. Fear. All at once.And I knew if I stayed another second, I would either stare too long or lose my temper. So I moved.I slipped out of my seat and headed for the side exit before

VICTORIAThe duplicate walked the summit stage like she owned it.Her back was straight. Her steps were smooth. Her smile was calm and practiced. Cameras followed her every move, flashing nonstop like fireworks. The crowd leaned in, hungry for whatever version of me she was selling.I sat in the front row now, legs crossed, hands resting lightly on my knee, looking relaxed and unbothered. At least on the outside. Inside, I watched everything.She paused too long before turning. I never paused there. She lifted her chin a second too late when the lights changed. I always moved with the lights, not after them. Her smile was just a little too tight at the corners. Mine never was.These were tiny things, invisible to everyone else. But I saw them all.Around me, investors whispered even as they smiled politely. Editors leaned toward each other, phones angled low as they typed. I heard my name again and again, sometimes followed by confusion, sometimes by excitement.“Which one is real?”“

VICTORIAThe global fashion summit started the way all big events did. With noise, lights, and people pretending not to be nervous.I stood behind the black curtain, listening to the crowd on the other side. Cameras clicked nonstop. Voices rose over each other in different accents. This wasn’t just New York. This was Paris, Milan, Tokyo, Dubai, all packed into one massive hall. Every major buyer, editor, and investor that mattered was here.And they were all watching.I rolled my shoulders once and checked my reflection in the dark glass panel beside me. All I saw was a calm face and steady eyes. There were no cracks. I looked like the woman they feared, not the one they tried to break.Good.Isabella stood a few steps away, phone in hand, already fighting online fires before they fully started. She looked tired but still alert, like she always did when things were about to explode.“Livestream numbers are insane,” she said quietly. “Every rumor page is tuned in.”“Let them watch,” I
