Elena stepped out of the infirmary with a sense of relief. She was finally allowed to go home after resting all night. Although her body still felt a little tired, at least she could return home and finish her work.

Beside her, a man in a black suit followed her. Samon, Nathan's assistant, who had taken care of the hospital administration for him.

"The car is out front, Miss Elena," Samon said as he matched her pace. "You can go straight home."

Elena nodded. "Thank you, Samon. Sorry for the trouble."

"No problem. It's Mr. Nathan's order."

Elena only smiled slightly. Since working for Nathan, this was the first time someone had helped her without any frills.

However, her steps stopped as soon as she reached the hospital lobby.

There, right in front of her, stood three figures she desperately wanted to avoid.

Damian.

Isabella.

And their baby boy, in Damian's arms.

Elena immediately wanted to turn around, but it was too late. Damian's eyes caught her first.

  • The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife   Chapter 106 - Never Giving Up

    "Last I asked, Damian..." Nathan stood in front of the man who sat leaning against the wall, his face battered. "Where's Elena?"Damian wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, then gave Nathan a blank look. "I said... I don't know."Nathan picked up a wooden chair and threw it into the corner of the room. "Don't lie!"Damian remained silent. His breathing was heavy, his chest heaving, but his eyes refused to budge.Rendi stood in the corner of the room, worried. "Mr. Nathan, we'd better not-""Get out of my way, Rendi!" Nathan turned around, his face red. "If he won't come forward, I'll find the evidence myself."Nathan pulled out his cell phone and dialed someone. "Iwan? Activate the IT team right now. I want every location Damian Lancaster has visited in the last two days. Including his mother Margaret's car."A quick voice on the other end replied, "Yes, Mr. Nathan. We're starting the trace now."Nathan hung up, then looked back at Damian. "If you think I'm going to just give

    The metal door opened with a creaking sound. Light from the hallway entered slowly into the stuffy basement. Elena lifted her face-wilted, tired, but still alert.Margaret's steps were clearly audible, the high heels of the middle-aged woman bouncing on the cement floor. In her hands were a brown folder and a bottle of water. Her hair in a neat bun, the woman's face remained stern."Have you had enough rest, Queen Elena?" Margaret asked calmly.Elena did not answer. Elena's gaze was still sharp.Margaret approached, placing the water bottle on the floor. "Have a drink. I know you're thirsty. It's been two days since you ate or drank. Do you want to die?""I won't drink a drop from your hand," Elena replied quietly but firmly.Margaret chuckled. "Still stubborn."The middle-aged woman sat on the metal chair in front of Elena, opened the folder and took out a thick sheet of paper."Asset transfer contract," she said casually. "If you sign here, everything will be done. I'll let you out o

  • The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife   Chapter 104 - Where is Elena?

    "Let me ask you again, Damian..." Nathan stared intently as he pointed at the still-lit iPad screen. "Why was your mother's car at the location where Elena was last seen?"Damian stood up straight, but his body was beginning to stiffen. "I don't know. Maybe the car was just passing by. Don't rush to accuse me or my mom, Nathan.""Don't be evasive, Damian!" snapped Nathan. "That's your mom's car! The plates match. The CCTV is clear!"Damian held up a hand. "I understand you're panicking, Nathan, but don't make accusations. I know nothing about Elena's disappearance.Nathan leaned closer, his face already red with emotion, "I've searched the whole place. The only clue I got-it was your mom's car! And you can still say you don't know anything?""Then what do you want me to say? I really don't know!" Damian was adamant. No matter what, the man would never confess.Nathan took a deep breath. But he couldn't contain his anger any longer. Suddenly, BUG! his fist landed hard on Damian's jaw.

    Meanwhile, elsewhere."Any word from the team combing the eastern harbor?" Nathan's voice sounded hoarse in the crowd.A bodyguard in a black suit shook his head. "Still nothing, Mr. Nathan. The CCTV there shows no sign of Mrs. Elena's whereabouts either."Nathan ruffled his hair in frustration. The man's eyes were bloodshot, his chin covered in a thin beard because he hadn't had time to shave. Tomorrow was supposed to be his wedding day to Elena-the big reception he'd been preparing for months. But now, he didn't even know if Elena was alive."How can my wife just disappear like that? There's no trace at all," Nathan muttered.A private detective, Rendi, approached carrying a folder full of notes."Our team has searched hospitals, airports, terminals, and several inns within a 50-kilometer radius," he reported quickly. "We've also asked all her close friends and family. Everyone says Mrs. Elena hasn't contacted anyone since two days ago."Nathan stared blankly ahead. "She can't have

    Footsteps echoed through the dark hallway leading to the basement. Margareth, seated near the doorway, turned her head.“Took you long enough,” she muttered to the man emerging from the shadows.Damian Lancaster stepped in without a sound. His black suit stood out starkly against the cold, grimy stone walls. His eyes locked straight on Elena, still tied to the chair. Her face was bruised, but her glare burned with rage.“Leave us,” Damian said coldly to his mother.Margareth raised an eyebrow. “You’re kicking me out, Damian?”“I said, leave,” he repeated without even looking at her.With a soft huff, Margareth stood up and walked out. “Fine. Just don’t get too rough, son. We still need her.”The door creaked shut behind her, leaving Damian and Elena alone.Silence fell again.Damian slowly stepped closer, stopping right in front of her. He crouched, tilted his head, and grabbed her chin roughly.“Still just as beautiful as ever…” he whispered.Elena turned her face away, trying to avo

    Elena, Nathan, and Sonia had just finished trying on several models of wedding dresses at their favorite boutique. A smile was still on Elena's lips, although her face looked a little tired."I like that last one. It fits you perfectly, Elena," Sonia said as she leaned back in the boutique's waiting chair.Nathan nodded as he checked his phone. "What Mommy said was exactly right. Even I was mesmerized."Elena chuckled softly. "You guys are really good at complimenting me.""Then let's go home now, shall we? You must be tired too," Nathan said as he grabbed Elena's small bag.But Elena hurriedly held back. "I'm not going home right away. I still have an online meeting with the overseas directors. They want to discuss the opening of new branches in Seoul and Tokyo.""Now?" asked Sonia, worried."Yes, the time can only be now. But relax, the meeting won't take long. An hour at most. I'll be meeting from my office at my boutique, just fifteen minutes away."Nathan nodded slowly, though hi

  • The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife   Chapter 100 - Distributing Wedding Invitations

    It didn't feel like time had flown by. After all this time, Elena had finally decided to get married again-this time to the man who had been faithfully accompanying her, Nathan Drake Sebastian.There were only three days left before the massive reception party was held. All family members, friends, and business associates began receiving invitations sent directly by Elena and Nathan. The invitation design was simple yet elegant, with white and gold colors, decorated with small satin ribbons that gave a luxurious impression.That morning, in the mansion's powder room, Elena stood in front of a large mirror, wearing a graceful ivory-white wedding dress. The dress fell perfectly on her body-without too many sequins, just delicate lace accents on the sleeves and chest. Her hair was in a half bun, the rest left to flow gently. Her face looked calm, but the woman's small smile implied nervousness."Oh my God... you're so beautiful," Mrs. Sonia's voice sounded softly from behind. The middle-

  • The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife   Chapter 99 - Quality Time

    The afternoon sky was beginning to turn red as Damian's black car pulled up slowly in front of the Lancaster mansion. The front door opened before he could knock, as if his mother had been waiting for him all along."You're home too," Margareth said with an unpredictable expression. Her face remained beautiful and well-groomed despite her age. She wore a dark satin dress and a pearl necklace that added to her aristocratic aura.Damian entered without saying much, immediately taking off his suit and draping it over the back of the sofa. "It's been a long day," he murmured as he poured himself a glass of wine from the bottle on the table.Margareth gives her only child a sharp look, then sits gracefully in the chair opposite. "So? Has there been any progress? You've started approaching Elena?"Damian swirled his glass slowly. "I've started to approach her. Little by little. But Elena's not the type of woman who's easily persuaded with sweet words or expensive gifts.""Then you think she

  • The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife   Chapter 98 - Trust Me, Husband

    Elena's steps were quick, her high heels clicking firmly along the marble hallway to the top floor of Nathan's building, the towering headquarters in the center of the city. Her eyes didn't look to either side. The receptionist tried to hold back, but Elena was already too sure of her destination."Excuse me, Miss Elena, Mr. Nathan is again-""I'm his wife," Elena cut in firmly. "And I don't need a schedule to talk to my husband."The elevator doors opened. Elena entered without hesitation. Her hands were clenched into fists, her breath coming in short bursts of emotion. Not anger, but fear. Afraid that Nathan would actually believe the photo. Afraid that Damian had managed to infiltrate doubt into their marriage.Once on the top floor, she didn't wait for her assistant to open the door. Elena pushed it open herself. With her breath catching, she burst into the CEO's office.Nathan stood with his back to the window, hands in his pants pockets. Steady. Silent. I don't know what was goi
