“The wedding should be held as soon as possible,” Henry said, his hand firm around mine. “I want to flaunt you to the whole world.”

My chest tightened. I forced a small smile. “I don’t think that’s a good idea, Henry. I haven’t even met your parents yet. Why rush something this big?”

Before he could answer, Mum leaned forward on the couch, eyes bright. “I actually agree with Henry. The wedding should be soon. In fact,” she added thoughtfully, “it might be best if it happens right after Alister

  • Wrecking My Ex-husband    Digging Deep

    I stared at the message for a full five minutes.Not blinking. Not breathing properly. Just staring.My thumb hovered over the screen as I tried calling the number back for the third time. Straight to voicemail. Of course. Whoever sent it never intended to answer. They wanted the message delivered, nothing more.My chest felt tight. My head throbbed.First the car chase, then the scandal.Now this.It was like my life had decided to unravel all at once, with no mercy and no warning.“This is insane…” I muttered to myself.I swung my legs off the bed and stood up abruptly, a restless energy flooding my body. Sitting still was impossible. Thinking without doing something felt even worse.I grabbed my laptop from the desk, opened it, and settled back on the bed. My fingers moved almost on instinct. Hacking wasn’t some forbidden skill to me, it was a language I had learned early and mastered quietly.If I wanted to dig, I could dig deep.If I wanted to trace loose ends, I could tear the

    “The wedding should be held as soon as possible,” Henry said, his hand firm around mine. “I want to flaunt you to the whole world.”My chest tightened. I forced a small smile. “I don’t think that’s a good idea, Henry. I haven’t even met your parents yet. Why rush something this big?”Before he could answer, Mum leaned forward on the couch, eyes bright. “I actually agree with Henry. The wedding should be soon. In fact,” she added thoughtfully, “it might be best if it happens right after Alister and Nicole’s. That way we can plan everything together.”The room buzzed with excitement.Everyone was smiling. Everyone was happy.Everyone except me.We were all seated in the living room, the engagement no longer a secret. Congratulations had been exchanged, hugs given, plans already forming. Yet my mind was nowhere near wedding dresses or guest lists.It was still stuck outside the house.With Jeremiah.With his voice.With the way he looked at me when he said he still loved me.Henry was al

  • Wrecking My Ex-husband    I still love you

    "I was at work," Jeremiah said finally, his jaw tight. "And my assistant Andrew can vouch for me." Henry let out a sharp, humorless laugh. "Yeah, of course, your paid assistant, who does whatever the hell you tell him to do." His tone was pure venom, it was very obvious that he wanted Jeremiah to be guilty. Jeremiah’s eyes narrowed, but his voice stayed calm. “Well… the seventy-two cameras in the entire building should also attest for me. Considering I worked late yesterday until midnight and went straight home. Well…” His gaze turned to mine, his grey eyes warm. “…straight to my house. Because it’s no longer a home without you. Nora.” The words hit like a bullet. My chest tightened, heat rushing up my throat. Damn him. He knew exactly how to twist the knife. I glanced at Henry, who was already fuming, his fists clenched so tight his knuckles had gone white. His voice was lethal when he spat, “You don’t get to say those words to my fiancée, you bastard.” Jeremiah’s jaw flexed. Hi

  • Wrecking My Ex-husband    Accuser and Accused

    Nora’s POVJust two hours after those horrible lies spread across the internet, every single article was suddenly taken down. But the damage had already been done. My name and reputation had already been ruined. But at least Henry had made his team handle it. I sighed, staring at my phone before placing it back on the table. I was still at Henry’s place, and he was trying his hardest to make me feel better. He had even helped Marie make me breakfast and tried cracking jokes. It was sweet, really…but all I wanted was to go home. “I think I should go home now. My mum’s probably worried sick. Dad and Alister too.” I said softly to Henry. His face fell, but he forced a smile. “Let’s get dressed then.” Moments later, we were on the road. I sat in silence, staring out the window, my mind blank from all the noise in my head. Henry reached over, taking my hand. “Don’t worry. My team’s going to find whoever’s behind this. We’ll make sure every last article is taken down.” “Yeah…your te

  • Wrecking My Ex-husband    Precious Nora

    Jeremiah sat in his office, staring into nothing. The silence was suffocating. It had been weeks since he last saw Nora, weeks of self-inflicted exile. He leaned back in his chair, eyes shut, letting out a long, ragged sigh. He was giving her space. Space she deserved. After everything he had done, after the lies, the betrayal, she needed time. Peace. And God, he hoped she had found a little of it. For her sake. For the babies. His babies. No matter what Nora said, no matter how she tried to deny it, he felt it in his bones. They were his. Jeremiah ran a hand through his hair and clenched his jaw. How had he let everything fall apart? If he hadn't screwed it all up, she would still be in his arms. He would have made her tea in the mornings, massaged her swollen ankles, whispered stupid jokes against her neck until she smiled again. Instead, she was with that bastard. Henry Worth. Jeremiah’s jaw tightened. He didn’t care how charming Henry seemed to others, He knew that Henry was

  • Wrecking My Ex-husband    Blame Game

    "What news?” I ask my mum, frowning, the warmth from my smile fading instantly. There’s a strange pause on the other end of the line. "What news, mum?" I pressed. “You haven’t seen it yet?” Mum’s voice is tight and obviously anxious. “It’s all over the internet, Nora.” My chest tightens. “What is?” “An article about you... Well mostly lies....and a proposal. Nora, did Henry propose to you?" I opened my mouth to answer but no words came out. "Nora, it’s bad. Really, really bad." My stomach drops as cold dread spreads through my veins like ink. “I—I have to go,” I say quickly and hang up before she can explain or ask further questions. I open my browser, fingers trembling, and type my own name. And just like that.....there it is. The top headline on three gossip sites. "Henry Worth’s fiancée has a dark past: Cheating scandals, psychiatric stay, and secret engagement." I freeze. The articles are a firestorm of lies. Old pictures of me, some from years ago, taken completely
