The air in Avery’s office still carried the echo of Tamer’s words.

“Then let’s find out together.”

She stood by the window long after he left, her fingers wrapped around her elbow, jaw set—not because she trusted him, but because trusting anyone right now would be the most dangerous mistake she could make.

Still, there was something in the way he’d said it. Not rehearsed. Not guarded.

Genuine.

Or cleverly staged to appear that way.

Avery couldn’t decide which was worse.

The buzz of her intercom broke her thoughts.

Justin’s voice came through. “You need to see this.”

“I’m coming.”

She left her office, heart already pacing ahead of her.

When she entered Justin’s workspace, he was standing by the long screen on the wall, brows furrowed. The lights in the room were dimmed, and the feed on the screen was paused mid-frame—an interior shot from one of the storage rooms in the lower level of the company’s east wing.

“What is it?” she asked.

He pressed play.

The video ran forward. Black-and-wh

  • Trillonaire Ex-Wife After Divorce    Chapter 50

    It rained the next morning.Not a thunderstorm. Not a downpour.Just a steady, silver curtain falling over the city, soft enough to be ignored, heavy enough to make everything feel slower.Avery stood at the window of her office, watching the raindrops crawl down the glass. The city skyline was a blurred watercolor in the distance, and below, umbrellas bloomed on the sidewalks like dark flowers.Behind her, the office was quiet. The world outside might have been humming with tension, but in here, everything held its breath.Avery was thinking.Calculating.Because someone was framing Tamer.And whoever it was… knew her. Knew her well enough to manipulate her doubts, to plant suspicion precisely where it hurt. Tamer was no saint—but he wasn’t a thief. And her instincts, honed as sharp as blades from years of being her father’s daughter, told her one thing:This was personal.“Pull her schedule,” Avery said aloud, not turning from the window.Justin, seated across the room, didn’t need

  • Trillonaire Ex-Wife After Divorce    Chapter 48

    Chapter 48The morning was clear, the sky polished and blue as if it had been scrubbed clean overnight.But inside Avery, everything remained murky.The words from her father’s letter echoed in her chest like a soft war drum. Let yourself feel something real… Even if it breaks you. She had read those lines again before dressing, folding the paper back into its wooden box as carefully as if it might tear from too much handling.It didn’t feel like a letter.It felt like a permission slip she hadn’t asked for.Now, walking through the glass halls of Star Technologies, her heels clicking with quiet authority, Avery kept her expression unreadable. Staff nodded to her as she passed. Assistants stepped aside. Even the CEO’s suite—once her father’s, now hers—felt different this morning.As if it were holding its breath.Inside her office, Justin was already waiting. He looked up from his tablet, studying her with the same measured calm he always used when something deeper stirred beneath her

  • Trillonaire Ex-Wife After Divorce    Chapter 47

    Chapter 47The morning was hushed.No clatter from the kitchen. No footsteps across the marble floors. Even the wind outside seemed to move more gently, brushing against the windows like a whisper rather than a knock.Avery sat at the small writing desk in her father’s old study—the one he’d rarely used in recent years, but had insisted on keeping untouched. The air still held the faint scent of cedar and old ink, a fragrance that had once clung to the folds of his suits and the pages of the books he never loaned out.She hadn’t intended to be here. But after a restless night and an early rise, her feet had carried her to the room like muscle memory. Like the quiet ache of a daughter reaching for something she could no longer hold.The sun was only beginning to peek through the clouds, casting long shadows across the floor. A tea tray sat at her elbow, untouched. Steam curled softly into the still air.On the desk in front of her lay a box.Small. Wooden. Locked with a simple brass cl

  • Trillonaire Ex-Wife After Divorce    Chapter 46

    Chapter 46 The message came just before midnight.Three words. No punctuation. No flourish.Come to dinner.Tamer stared at the screen of his phone, the glow of it pale against the dark of his apartment. He was still dressed from the evening—tie undone, shirt sleeves rolled up, a half-finished glass of whiskey warming on the edge of the coffee table.He read the message again.Then a third time.No explanation. No date or time or place. But he understood. He didn’t need details. He knew where she meant.Rodrigo Manor.He leaned back in his armchair, exhaling slowly as the gravity of it settled around him. It wasn’t just a dinner. It was a test. An invitation into a world she’d kept sealed even after she said yes to his proposal.This wasn’t about business.It wasn’t even about strategy.This was personal.And it rattled him.He had played the long game with Avery Rodrigo, never once expecting it would be easy—but always assuming he held the upper hand. He was the one pretending. He w

  • Trillonaire Ex-Wife After Divorce    Chapter 45

    Chapter 45The Rodrigo estate had always been grand—crafted with cold stone, heavy wooden doors, and stained glass windows that filtered light like confessionals. But today, as Avery stepped out of her car and walked toward the front entrance, the house felt quieter.Less like an empire.More like a farewell.The nurses had wheeled Richard Rodrigo through those same double doors just hours earlier. Against the advice of every doctor, every specialist, every desperate voice pleading for a few more days of monitored care, he had signed his own discharge.He wanted to die at home.Not in a bed surrounded by machines.Avery stepped into the foyer with careful footsteps. There was no music. No bustle of staff. Just the soft echo of her heels against marble and the weight of time pressing in from every corner.Justin was already waiting near the staircase. He gave her a quiet nod.“He’s in the garden,” he said. “With Shane.”She handed him her coat and walked without speaking.Outside, the
