TRAPPED AS THE CEO'S ex-wife Chapter 107
Lena's POV I was lying on my back staring at the ceiling again.It had become a habit lately. Watching the faint cracks in the paint. Following the slow spin of the fan above me. Counting the seconds between my breaths as if that alone could steady my thoughts.It was something I did to pass time. Something I did to quiet the noise in my head.And there had been too much noise lately.Jane wasn’t around. Of course. She had gone out earlier, probably trying to give me space without making it obvious. She was good like that. She understood when I needed silence.Florida.Her words from earlier replayed in my mind.“Come back with me for a while, Lena. Just breathe. Just rest.”The idea sounded tempting. Beaches. Sun. No board meetings. No scandal. No Tara Valentino staring at me like I was a stain that needed to be scrubbed out.Just quiet.Just space to think.I turned onto my side, hugging a pillow close to my chest.Maybe I should go.Maybe leaving was the smartest thing I could do.

Lucian's POV Kristen stayed behind after everyone left. The office had grown quiet, the heavy silence pressing against the walls like a living thing. The air still carried the heat of the argument with Tara. My hands were clenched at my sides, my chest still rising and falling with restrained anger. I heard her heels approach slowly. “Lucian,” Kristen called softly. I did not turn. I kept staring at the city lights beyond the glass window, my reflection staring back at me like a stranger. “I understand everything you’re going through,” she said gently. Her voice was calm, soothing, almost comforting. I felt her hands rest lightly on my arm, warm and steady. The touch surprised me. Normally, I would have pulled away immediately. But this time, I didn’t. I looked at her. Her eyes were soft, understanding, patient. There was no accusation in them, no anger, no judgment. Just concern. “You don’t have to carry everything alone,” she continued quietly. “You’ve been under pressu
TRAPPED AS THE CEO'S ex-wife Chapter 105
Lucian's POV The office was unusually quiet after Lena left. Night had already fallen, and the once lively corridors of Valentino Empire were slowly emptying. Employees whispered among themselves as they packed their belongings, their eyes filled with curiosity, fear, and gossip. The scandal had shaken everyone. The tension hung in the air like a heavy storm refusing to pass. I stood by the large glass window in the boardroom, staring at the city lights below, my jaw clenched. Behind me, Tara was still raging. “I cannot believe this!” she shouted, her heels striking sharply against the floor as she paced. “How could you let this happen, Lucian?” Her voice grated against my nerves. I had been holding my anger in for hours, forcing myself to remain calm for the sake of the company, for the board, for the investors. But now the restraint was slipping. Kristen stood near the table, arms folded neatly, her face calm but observant. Mr. Robert and Mr. Osborn remained seated, their ex

Lena's POV The sound must have woken Jane. I felt movement beside me, then her startled voice. “Lena? Oh my God, Lena!” She rushed to my side, kneeling beside me, her hands gently lifting my shoulders. “What happened? Why are you crying like this?” she asked, panic filling her voice. I tried to speak, but the words wouldn’t come. Only broken sobs escaped my lips. Jane pulled me into her arms carefully. “Hey… hey, it’s okay,” she whispered, stroking my hair. “You’re safe. You’re home.” Jane’s voice was soft when she spoke, but it carried a quiet panic that made my chest tighten. “Lena… what happened?” she asked again, kneeling beside me. I could barely breathe through my tears. My throat burned, my body still shaking from everything that had happened at the company. The humiliation. The accusations. Tara’s voice. The way everyone looked at me like I was a disease. Jane gently lifted my face. “Talk to me,” she whispered. I tried to speak, but another sob escaped ins

Lena's POV I stood frozen in the middle of the boardroom as the heavy doors slammed shut behind the last person. The sound echoed through the silent room like a final judgment. Tara turned slowly toward me. Her heels clicked against the marble floor as she walked closer, each step deliberate, controlled, terrifying. The tension in the air pressed against my chest until it became hard to breathe. "Meeting dismissed. Everyone move out" She commanded and immediately every other soul apart from me, her and Lucian was out. She turned to face me. “Are you crazy?” she demanded sharply. Her voice sliced through me. I lowered my head, unable to meet her gaze. My hands trembled at my sides, my fingers instinctively brushing against my stomach. Before I could respond, Lucian moved in front of me. “Enough, Tara,” he said, his voice tight. “That’s enough.” He stood between us like a shield, his body rigid, protective. For a brief moment, relief flickered in my chest. But T

Xander’s POVI left Lucian’s company in anger.The tension from the boardroom still clung to my skin like a second layer. The shouting, the accusations, the looks they threw at Lena, it all replayed in my head like a broken record. The sound of their voices echoed in my ears, each word heavier than the last.Yes, the situation at Harrington’s company concerned me. I was their partner. If investors pulled out, I would lose too.But at that moment, loss meant nothing.All I could see was Lena standing there, surrounded by judgment, carrying a burden she never asked for.I exhaled sharply and loosened my tie as my car sped toward my own company building. I had problems of my own waiting for me, and unlike emotions, business never paused.By the time I stepped into my company’s lobby, my expression had hardened back into the calm authority everyone expected from me.The familiar scent of polished wood and quiet efficiency greeted me. Employees straightened when they saw me, offering respe
