The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 10 - New Daddy?
Elena was silent for a while at Katty and Olivia's words. She didn't expect her children to think that far ahead. Elena was pregnant!Elena herself was still having trouble accepting the fact, let alone explaining it to her daughters. "Mommy?" Olivia tugged on her sleeve, snapping Elena out of her reverie. "Honey... Mommy's not thinking about finding a new Daddy right now." Elena tried to choose her words carefully. Katty frowned. "Why, Mommy deserves someone better than Daddy." Elena smiled a little, her heart warmed to hear that her children cared so much about her. However, she had more important things to say. "Because... Mommy is pregnant." Olivia and Katty both widened their eyes. "Pregnant?" Olivia exclaimed in shock. Delya, who was getting sleepy, opened her eyes wide and sat up straight. "Mommy is having another baby?" Elena smiled gently. "Yes, baby." Katty immediately held Elena's belly, her eyes sparkling. "There's a baby in Mommy's belly? Seriously?"

Early in the morning, toast filled the small apartment. Elena was busy in the kitchen, spreading jam on the bread while occasionally glancing at the pot on the stove. "Mommy, where's the milk?" came Olivia's voice from the dining table. "Just a minute, honey," Elena replied, hurriedly pouring milk into a glass. Katty swung her legs under the table, looking at her mother curiously. "Mommy going to the office again?" Elena nodded as she served breakfast in front of them. "Yes. Mommy has to hurry and submit the new design to Mr. Nathan." Delya, who was sitting in her chair, pursed her lips. "Mommy's leaving again?" Elena smiled gently, crouching down in front of her youngest daughter. "Mommy won't be long, dear. You'll play with Aunt Tamara later, okay?" As if summoned, the apartment bell rang. "That must be Aunt Tamara," Olivia said, getting up from her chair to open the door. Sure enough, Tamara was standing there in her brown jacket, smiling broadly. "Good morning, l

Nathan sat back in his chair, his fingers tapping the surface of the desk in a slow rhythm. His eyes remained fixed on the design Elena had just handed over. Something was bothering him-something that felt familiar. He reached for his cell phone and pressed the speed dial to contact his assistant, Samon. "Hello, Mr. Nathan?" came Samon's voice on the other end. "I need you to find out about someone," Nathan said matter-of-factly. "Who?" "Elena." Samon was silent for a moment. "Elena who?" Nathan squinted, scrutinizing the detailed lines of the design before him. "Elena... I don't know her full name. But she's a designer I've just started working with. Oh yes, I remember, her name is Elena Whitmore." Samon sighed. "Okay. But this could take some time. I need more information." "Okay, I understand. . Don't let him know we're investigating him." Samon nodded even though it was invisible. "Yes, Mr. Nathan. I'll start collecting data." Nathan ended the call, then look

Elena opened the door to her apartment with one hand while the other held the bag of warm bread. Once inside, she saw her three daughters sitting in the living room with Tamara. "Mommy!" exclaimed Delya, jumping up from the couch and running to her. Elena smiled, bending down to hug her youngest daughter tightly. "Mommy's home, honey." Olivia and Katty rushed over too, their eyes sparkling at the bag of bread in Elena's hands. "Is that bread for us?" asked Olivia with an expectant face. Elena chuckled. "Of course. Mommy bought bread for the three of you. " Tamara rose from the couch, greeting Elena with a meaningful look. "Are you okay?" she whispered softly. Elena nodded briefly. She knew Tamara must have guessed something had happened while she was gone, but Elena didn't want to discuss her meeting with Margareth right now. She brought the bread to the table, then helped Delya sit in her chair. Olivia and Katty couldn't wait to taste. "Hmm... so good!" exclaimed Ka

The clock struck two in the morning, but Elena was still at her desk. The small lamp in the corner of the room was the only light, while the remaining coffee in her cup was already cold. Elena's eyes felt heavy, but her hands kept moving, finishing the design that Nathan had requested. She knew how much of a perfectionist he was, and she didn't want to disappoint. However, no matter how hard she tried, her mind began to wander. Every line he drew felt more and more blurred, and his eyelids felt so heavy. Unconsciously, her head fell onto the table. She fell asleep. When Elena woke up, birds were chirping outside the window. Her eyes widened at the sight of the clock on the wall-it was five in the morning!"Oh my!" Elena slapped her forehead. She immediately sat up, looking at the sketch in front of her. The design wasn't finished! Plus, she hadn't made the sample suit that Nathan had requested. Elena rubbed her face frantically. Not to mention... Her eyes darted to her c

Elena got out of the taxi quickly, her hands still clutching the folder of unfinished designs. She was already late, and this was not her habit. Nathan certainly didn't like waiting, especially when it came to work. But before she could step inside the grand office building, a figure stood in her way. Damian, her ex-husband. Elena halted her steps, her jaw hardening at the sight of the man standing with an arrogant expression on his face. Neat as ever, wearing an expensive suit, as if he had never lacked anything in his life. "What a rush you're in, where are you going?" Damian's voice sounded cold, but full of mockery. Elena snorted, giving him a sharp look. "None of your business, Mr. Damian." Elena tried to step to the side, but Damian quickly blocked her way again. "Elena, don't pretend to be busy. I know you don't have a regular job. Or..." Damian glanced at the office building behind Elena. "Are you someone's mistress here?" Elena clenched her fists, restraining h

Elena still didn't fully understand how such a chaotic morning could turn into such a golden opportunity. Just a few minutes ago, she had walked out of Nathan's room with her mind in turmoil, but now, she was standing in front of a room she had never been in before. Tamara, who had just called Elena on the phone, was immediately surprised to hear from Elena, "So, now you have your own workspace?" Elena nodded, still somewhat incredulous. "I guess so." Tamara smiled widely. "Great! This means you're officially an employee of Mr. Nathan. At least you don't have to work from home anymore while the kids chase you around. You'll get rich quick. Keep up the good work, Miss Elena." Elena smiled a little, although her mind was still full of many things. Then, Elena hung up the phone. Elena reached out and opened the door to her new office. Once inside, she was immediately greeted by an elegant room. Not too big, but quite cozy. There was a wooden desk facing a large window with a c

Elena slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was still blurry, but she could feel the bright white light from the hospital lamp. Her head still felt heavy, but at least she could breathe more freely. Once she regained consciousness, she saw the figure sitting in the chair next to her bed. Nathan. He was looking at her with an expression that was hard to read, his eyes sharp but no obvious signs of emotion. "Elena," Nathan finally spoke, his voice low and firm. "You're awake." Elena blinked a few times before trying to get up, but her body still felt weak. "Why am I here?" she muttered. "You collapsed at the office," Nathan replied shortly. "I took you to the hospital." Elena looked around, realizing where she was. She sighed, then rubbed her face tiredly. "Thank you, Mr. Nathan. Sorry for the trouble." Nathan didn't answer immediately. He just looked at her, then after a few seconds, he asked, "Are you pregnant?" Elena was silent for a moment. However, she had no inten

The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 91 - First Night After Marriage
Silence filled the room, with only the soft hum of breathing and the quiet ticking of the wall clock. The dim lights created a warm, dimly lit atmosphere, as if enveloping them in a paused embrace of time.Nathan sat on the edge of the bed, his body slightly inclined, one hand gently touching Elena's back. The touch was unhurried, like someone reading poetry directly from the skin of a lover."Elena," Nathan murmured softly."Hm?" she replied softly, her eyes not daring to look directly at him."Thank you... for letting me be your husband tonight. "Elena swallowed, then nodded. "I know, I'm not perfect, I've kept my distance for too long, I've held on to all the hurt for too long. But tonight, I am yours completely. ."Nathan nodded slowly, then leaned closer. His lips gently kissed the back of Elena's neck, making her body tense up instantly. There was a subtle tremor that traveled from the back of her neck to the rest of her body.Elena took a deep breath, then slowly shifted, lyin
The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 90 - Meeting Damian and Elena
Dusk had just fallen when Damian stood in front of Elena's apartment door. He raised his hand, wanting to knock, but then hesitated and lowered it again. It took a few seconds before he braced himself, knocking twice.Soon, the door opened. Elena stood on the threshold in a simple white T-shirt and beige trousers. Her hair was in a simple bun, her face devoid of makeup. But the serenity in her eyes radiated a power that made Damian remember why he loved her in the first place. And why would he betray a woman as beautiful as Elena?"Elena..." his voice was hoarse. "I need a moment. Just five minutes, if you please."Elena nodded slowly. "Come in."Damian stepped in nervously, his eyes sweeping around the room."Would you like something to drink?" asked Elena politely, her voice flat but not cold."No need. I just want to talk."They sat down in the living room. Damian rubbed his sweaty palms together. Elena waited without interrupting."I canceled the custody hearing," Damian said fina
The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 89 - Damian Cancels the Trial
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

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
