The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 54 - Couldn't resist.
"Elena, I-" Nathan's voice was almost drowned out by the noisy conversation inside the restaurant, but his eyes radiated something Elena couldn't ignore.Elena frowned, confused by the man's expression. "What is it, Mr. Nathan?"Without answering, Nathan grabbed Elena's wrist and pulled her gently but firmly out of the restaurant. Elena was slightly taken aback by the sudden action."Nathan, what do you want? I still have to-""Just for a minute," Nathan cut in. "I can't stand to see you sitting with that guy."They stepped out onto the wet sidewalk. Nathan opened his car door and looked at Elena with an unusual look in his eyes. "Get in, please."Elena hesitated for a moment. But finally she got in, letting Nathan close the door and sit on the driver's side. They were silent for a few seconds. The rain pounded on the windshield in a quiet rhythm."Elena," Nathan finally spoke up, still staring straight ahead. "Who is he?""Who?" Elena asked back, knowing who he meant."That guy at th

Elena was still silent. Her face was flushed, not just from the kiss, but from the follow-up kiss Nathan had just planted on her neck-hot, deep, and surprising."Aahh..." the sigh escaped her lips, making Nathan smile a little. The smile of a man who knew he had touched something that could no longer be denied."Elena," Nathan's voice was husky, almost a whisper. "I've put a love token around your neck. You are mine, Elena."Elena turned her head quickly, her eyes widening slightly. "Nathan...""You don't have to answer now," Nathan said softly. "But don't tell me you don't feel it."Elena's body began to overheat. Her heart was beating so fast, her mind was in turmoil. Half of her wanted to kiss back, to touch Nathan's face, to let her lips trace his neck.But Elena just bit her lip, trying to hold back.She raised her right hand to touch the lapel of Nathan's suit, then lowered it again. She turned quickly toward the window. "I have to go inside. Bara is still waiting for me.""Elen

The sky was darkening as the clock struck seven in the evening. The city lights came on slowly, and the cool night air crept in through the window gaps. Elena had just finished feeding Alva, while Delya was busy with a toy on the floor. The bell rang. Elena frowned, not expecting visitors at this time of night. She walked quickly to the door and opened it. The figure of Nathan stood there, neat, dashing in a dark suit that framed his body perfectly."Hi," Nathan greeted, with that signature smile that somehow always managed to make Elena's heart beat faster."Nathan?" Elena was a little startled. "What's wrong, you didn't say you were coming?"Nathan lifted a small box from behind his body-a bunch of lilies and white roses. "I wanted to take you to dinner," he said, hopefully. "I've already booked the place. Would you like to?"Elena reflexively turned her head inside the house, towards the children playing. "I can't. I can't just leave the kids.""You go, Elena, let me take care of

"Nathan, didn't you come home earlier?" Elena asked softly, still in the man's arms. Her voice was barely audible, tucked between the beating of a heart that was beating too fast.Nathan sighed, slowly released his embrace and looked at Elena softly. "Yeah. But you left your phone in my car," he said, indicating the cell phone Elena had left on the passenger seat. "And somehow I don't feel right."Elena gave a small nod, then reached for her phone with trembling hands. "Thank you."They looked at each other. An instant felt like a long time. Time froze.Nathan sat beside her, still keeping his distance. But there was something in the air that was getting thicker-tension, unbearable emotion, and feelings they had been keeping quiet."Elena..." Nathan called in a low voice, almost a whisper. "You know what? I can't stop thinking about you."Elena turned her head slowly. That look - sharp yet gentle, longing yet restrained. In that instant, all the defenses she had built up crumbled bit

Isabella threw her sunglasses onto the floor of the room, causing the glass to shatter. Her breathing was ragged, her face red with anger that had yet to subside."How dare Damian slap me! In front of that bitch too!" she muttered through clenched teeth.She walked back and forth in the room, ruffling her half-done hair. Shame, anger, and hurt all mixed together in her chest. Damian's voice came back to her, defending her... but not for her. For Elena."He prefers that woman... just because Elena gave birth to the Lancaster heir?"Isabella held back the tears that were about to fall, then suddenly her eyes caught the screen of her cell phone on the table. She picked it up quickly, opened the contacts, then pressed a name she hadn't called in a long time.The call connected."Yes?" the heavy voice on the other end answers."I have a job for you," Isabella said quickly, coldly."How much?" the man asked, matter-of-factly."I want you to kidnap a little boy. His name is Alva. He's about

Elena's car drove slowly through the afternoon traffic. A classical song played softly from the car speakers, calming her mind that had been busy imagining Alva's face. Today Elena had promised to pick up her son herself, something she rarely did these days due to the busy schedule at the boutique. "Alva will be so happy to be picked up by me," she murmured with a smile.She glanced at the clock on the dashboard. There was still ten minutes before the school bell rang. Elena accelerated her car a little, trying not to be late. Suddenly, from the direction of the sidewalk, an old woman with a plastic shopping bag crossed the road without looking left and right. Elena reflexively hit the brakes hard.Ciiiittt!The car stopped just a few centimeters from the old woman's body."Oh my!" Elena opened the door and got out. "Grandma! Are you okay?"The old woman looked startled, stood rooted to the spot in the middle of the road, then suddenly burst into loud crying."Ouch... ouch, my leg

"WHY did the CCTV suddenly break?!" Elena's voice echoed in the quiet teacher's lounge.One of the school's IT staff looked down nervously. "I don't know either, Miss Elena. This morning it was still all on. But this afternoon, the recording of the gate section suddenly became unreadable. It looks like an error in the system.""Error?" Elena groaned in frustration. "So the only clue as to who took my child away is that they just disappeared?"Alva's homeroom teacher tried to calm her down. "We're really sorry, Miss Elena. But we think that man was sent by Noba Elena to pick up Alva.""Never mind!" snapped Elena, her eyes starting to turn red. "never obey anyone these days! It's kidnapping! KIDNAPPING!"Pale-faced, Elena rushed out of the teacher's lounge. Her hands were shaking as she pulled her cell phone from her bag. She immediately dialed Tamara's number."Tamara! Listen to me carefully. Alva... Alva is missing. She's been kidnapped," Elena's voice shook, barely catching her breat

"The location is an old warehouse near the harbor, Mr. Nathan. The coordinates are locked. They're inside, at least three of them are lightly armed," reported one of the bodyguards over the radio communication in the car.Elena immediately turned to Nathan who was sitting in the driving seat. "We have to hurry. I don't care if they're armed or not. The important thing is that Alva is safe."Nathan nodded, his gaze sharp. "Calm down. We'll make it."Soon, their motorcade pulled up about two hundred meters from an old warehouse that looked rundown and deserted. But the deserted impression was only on the surface-as dozens of Elena's bodyguards had already spread out around the area, surrounding the building from all sides."All teams are on standby. As soon as the signal is given, we will enter simultaneously," Nathan ordered over the radio.Inside the warehouse, the three male kidnappers were panicking. One of them was pacing, hands sweating, while the other two stood near Alva who was

Chapter 89 - Damian Cancels the TrialThe next day.Mr. Charles Lancaster's study was filled with the smell of cigars and old wood. The light from the desk lamp created long shadows on the wall. Damian stood with his back to his parents who sat opposite each other on the sofa, his eyes staring out the large window at the darkening garden. His suit hung loosely on his shoulders, his tie was loose, and his hair was slightly messy."I'm not going to continue the trial for Alva's custody," he said suddenly, his voice calm but firm.Margareth, who had been sipping tea, put down the cup with a loud noise. "What do you mean, Damian?" she asked, her voice rising an octave.Charles gave his son a sharp look. "Are you kidding me? After everything we've prepared-the lawyers, the evidence, the strategy-you suddenly pull out?"Damian slowly turned to face them. His face didn't show the slightest hesitation. "I'm not joking, Dad. I've given it a lot of thought and I realize that Alva is safer with
The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 88 - Damian's rage
Chapter 88 - Damian's rageThe sound of a car door closing loudly boomed in the hotel's basement parking lot. Damian pushed Isabella into the back seat of their black SUV. His face was red, his eyes blazing wildly."Shut up! Don't open your mouth one word!" he hissed, breath catching.Isabella staggered into the car, her feet dragging on the floor. As soon as the door closed, Damian entered from the other side, sitting next to her, immediately closing the glass partition between them and the driver."I ask you again, ISABELLA-IS THIS TRUE?!"Isabella twisted her body, her face still wet with tears. "Damian... I can explain...""EXPLAIN?!" Damian shouted so loudly that the window shook. "The whole world saw that video! That's your face! Your body! In a hotel bed with a fucking stranger! You... You've ruined my reputation!"Isabella grabbed Damian's arm. "Please, listen to me first. I'm doing this for you... for our company. We need investors, Damian! You know that! They won't give me m
The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 87 - One Month Has Passed
It's been one month since the video scandal took the world by storm. Elena chose to remain silent without clarifying, she worked quietly to organize legal measures, rebuild her image, and most importantly-prepare her final weapon. The day after tomorrow, the custody battle would begin. But today was the day when Elena, the famous designer with a business empire, would no longer remain silent.That morning, the ballroom at one of Manhattan's five-star hotels was packed. Rows of cameras, microphones and journalists from various countries filled the room. Whispers and speculation filled the air.At 10 o'clock, Nathan entered first, standing next to the podium. Shortly after, Elena emerges from behind the curtain. Dressed in an ivory white suit, hair in a neat bun, her face was calm but her eyes were sharp. The whole room immediately fell silent."Thank you for coming to this press conference," Elena said, her voice clear and steady. "Today, I stand not as a designer, not as an entreprene
The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 86 - New Scandal
In the afternoon, Elena, Nathan and the children returned to the apartment. The children had already gone up to their rooms.Nathan closed the door and took off his tie as he took a deep breath."Wife, would you like some hot tea?" he asked as he headed for the kitchen."Sure," Elena replied from the living room. She slipped off her shoes and sat on the sofa. "I think my neck is a little sore..."Before Nathan could make it to the kitchen, the television automatically turned on-a smart feature that instantly brought up the breaking news from the local channel.Breaking news! A shocking scandalous video has been widely circulated for the past hour. It is strongly suspected that the woman in the video is Elena - the famous designer, Queen Elisabeth.^Nathan immediately stopped walking. Elena looked quickly at the screen.The two-minute video showed a naked woman riding the body of a middle-aged man identified as William Hargrave, 55, Elena's former business partner at the German branch.
The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 85 - Meeting the Lawyer
A modern room on the third floor of a law firm in Midtown Manhattan. The room contained wooden shelves of law books, thick carpeting, and wide windows overlooking the busy city.Damian Lancaster sat at the end of a long glass-topped desk, his suit perfect without a single wrinkle. Beside him, Isabella looked elegant, but the look in her eyes was sharp. Across from them, Jared Matthews-a lawyer specializing in custody and family cases-is staring intently at the file Damian has just handed him."All the documents are there," Damian said, his tone firm. "DNA test results, records of the Elena scandal."Jared flips through the pages, his brow furrowing occasionally. He doesn't speak right away."Add to that the news that just went viral last week," Isabella interrupted, handing over a cell phone with a link to Elena's scandalous past. "That woman has a bad track record. Not fit to be a mother."Damian gave her a quick glance. "That's what I used as evidence of moral judgment. I don't mean

The next day."Hold on, Mom, my hair is still messed up!" said Olivia, the eldest, as she smoothed her bangs in front of the small mirror in the waiting room of the registry office.Elena smiles and fixes the collar of Delya's shirt, who is standing next to her. Nathan sat in the next chair, holding his youngest, Alva, who looked curiously at the uniformed officer."Are you sure we don't need a party or an invitation?" Nathan whispered softly."Sure. This is enough. I just want the day to go smoothly," Elena replied, looking at her children. "The important thing is that we're officially husband and wife."Nathan nodded. "Okay. But after this, we'll celebrate with them, okay? Whatever you want.""How about some ice cream? But Daddy has to buy all the flavors," Delya said, her eyes narrowing playfully.Nathan laughed. "Sure thing, kiddo. Daddy will buy a whole case if necessary."A uniformed officer approached them. "Mrs. Elena and Mr. Nathan Drake Sebastian?""Yes," Elena and Nathan re
The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 83 - Understanding Nathan
Elena opened her eyes, looking at Nathan who was now parking the car slowly in front of her apartment."But, I've given birth to four children, Nathan. You know that."Nathan looked away, still waiting."Do you... still want to have your own biological children as a descendant of the Sebastian family?" she asked softly.Nathan looked at her with a look that was hard to describe: gentle, calm, and respectful."Elena," he said with a sigh. "I never made children a requirement. I fell in love with you, not because of the possibility that you may or may not give birth again.""But..." Elena bit her lip. "What if you regret it one day?"Nathan smiled, then took Elena's hand, holding it tightly."Your four children are enough for me. They're not just a part of you, they'll be a part of my life too. And if they let me, I'll consider them my children too."Elena was silent. Nathan's words came in like a wave sweeping over her last stronghold."I didn't think you could care that much," she whi
The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 82 - Find Out About That Woman
Elena's black car drove smoothly through the dark night. Beside her, Nathan sat in silence, occasionally glancing at Elena who seemed to be seriously staring at her cell phone screen."I thought you'd be relieved after Nuno was arrested," Nathan muttered at last.Elena didn't answer immediately. She opened her contact list and selected a name labeled "Only If Desperate"."You know I'm never really relieved before the game is over," she said quietly. "Nuno is just the surface. We haven't touched the mastermind yet."He pressed the call button.The connection was made. A deep, heavy voice greeted from the other side. "Hello, Queen Elena.""I need your help," she said quickly. "Starting tonight, I need you to monitor Isabella Lancaster. Discreetly, not to be suspicious. Where she goes, who she meets, even if she's just shopping report it to me."The detective paused for a moment before replying, "Does that mean I have to watch her 24 hours?""Y, of course. But don't let her get suspic
The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 81 - Tell me, who did it?
That afternoon, the air was stale. In the middle of the deserted streets of an abandoned industrial estate, an old metal door was half-hidden behind a grove of bushes. That's where Nuno Gract was hiding - the man who had been a shadow in cyberspace, hacking, manipulating, spreading lies from behind a screen.Elena got out of her black car. Behind her, Nathan followed, his face tense, jaw hardened. Two plainclothes policemen were also standing by, their jackets slightly open, revealing weapons at their waists."This is the place," Nathan whispered, pointing to the door. Elena gave a small nod, her eyes as sharp as daggers. Silently, they approached, footsteps muffled by the dusty ground.One of the policemen signaled a countdown. Three... Two... One.BRUKK!The door was forced open. The sound of metal creaking echoed.The dark room was immediately ambushed by flashlights. Thin smoke billowed - the smell of dampness and burning wires was overwhelming.In the corner, Nuno Grac
