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

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

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

TRENTThe message about Victoria meeting the duplicate reached me before the afternoon ended. My assistant sent it quietly through a secure line, the same way most updates came to me these days. It was nothing dramatic. Just information.I sat in my office with the city spread out below the tall wi

VICTORIAI stood in the doorway of my penthouse and looked at the man sitting in the chair by the window. The lights in the room were bright, but that corner stayed half dark because of the angle of the lamps. The glow from my phone lit his face from below.Daniel.Clark stopped a step ahead of me,

VICTORIAThey wanted me in a small white room with a lawyer, a recorder, and a clock ticking too loudly. I gave them a studio instead.The car stopped in front of the network building, not the police station. Cameras were already lined up. The doors opened and cool air hit my face. I stepped out sl

CLARKI had already mapped three exits before she finished her coffee.That was how my mind worked now. Not panic. Not fear. Patterns. Routes. Time windows. If this went wrong, where did we go. If this went worse, how fast could we disappear.Victoria sat across from me at the table like nothing ha
