Semua Bab HER POWER; Betrayed ex-wife seeks revenge!: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Why the hell was Emily wearing the necklace that was meant for her? Audrey questioned internally as she scrutinized the images.Confusion creased her brows but she didn't have enough time to process as another message chimed in her phone. She glanced down to see that the unknown sender had just texted the name of the restaurant.'Your husband was seen having a great evening at Louis's five-star restaurant, with his mistress.'Mistress? Audrey's brows knitted together at the text. Why did the sender just address her own best friend, Emily, as her husband's mistress? What the hell was she trying to say?However, she shook her head, brushing off the idea that it simply meant Theodore might be having an affair with Emily. No. She trusted Theodore with her life. He could never betray her. Not like this, and definitely not after everything they'd been through together.Still, Audrey wanted to find out the truth. She hated what her instincts were telling her. She tried to push her conflictin

Audrey stiffened, a lump effectively clogging her throat. She tried to comprehend the double meaning behind her husband's reassurance to Emily just now. It couldn't possibly be what she was thinking, right? Theodore had claimed his meeting with Emily earlier had just been a business date, right?Although a part of her already knew what was coming, she still found it hard to accept the thought.She fought to convince herself to stick by his earlier claims. Theodore couldn't betray her, and same went for Emily too. Because for fuck sake, they were best friends. Audrey's thoughts were disrupted as the door to the living room finally pushed open to reveal Theodore gently guiding Emily in as though she were an egg.Audrey felt a painful constriction around her chest as she witnessed her husband holding his secretary—her best friend! In a way, he shouldn't. However, despite Audrey's racing pulse, she struggled to keep her cool and remain firm as her gaze observed them intently. She still

Audrey brought out the papers and signed them each respectively, ensuring her signature was bold enough as she didn't want to give them a reason to believe they had broken her—Her love. Her trust. Her loyalty. Her kindness. Her compassion."Here," she said, extending the signed papers to Theodore.As Theodore collected the papers from her, Audrey stated firmly. "I want everything returned. My company. My position—everything I've invested in you over the years..."But Theodore let out a derisive laugh as he reviewed the signed documents. "Didn't realize you've been attending clown classes recently.""Excuse me?"He lifted his gaze to match hers. "It's all mine now, Audrey. Everything. All of it. I could give you a small fraction of what we have but the whole thing belongs to me now, so don't think you can make such demands anymore," He clarified resolutely.But Audrey snapped. "The fuck are you talking about? T.A.J. Group is mine! I built that company from the ground up. I. Made. You.

The imposing gate to the Lancaster mansion glided open after the chauffeur honked once, prompting him to navigate the car inside, putting an end to the hectic journey in the spacious garage that also housed a couple of expensive cars. "Are you ready?" Scarlett asked enthusiastically, pulling Audrey's attention from her little sight survey to her.Audrey, who had been taking in her childhood home that she hadn't seen in three years, turned to her mother. She nodded slightly, though unsure if she was truly ready to meet her family. The same ones she had abandoned for a man who didn't give two fucks about her feelings this entire time. "Yeah, I guess, Mom." "Don't be nervous, okay?" Scarlett said, taking Audrey's hand in hers. "You'll be fine."Audrey's skeptical look prompted Scarlett to add playfully. "And no, Audrey, for the umpteenth time, your father doesn't hate you. Get that thought out of your head.""I wasn't thinking anything," Audrey lied through her teeth, but Scarlett had

Audrey's lips slightly parted in surprise as she digested her father's ultimatum. She stared at him for a moment, unable to recognize the man before her as her once-loving and compassionate father. He seemed to have changed over the years. His current demeanor, expression was so... Cold. Indifferent. Yes, Audrey's always known her father could be callous, but not to his family. And especially not to her. Just as Sir Pete had mentioned earlier, Audrey was her father's favorite. However, it seemed that favoritism from her father had dissipated.This was the last thing she had expected he would propose, especially on the night of her return. He couldn't even wait to accommodate her for an hour before letting her know she would have to earn her place here and also pay the price of her past foolish actions. Audrey was astounded."Dad?" Audrey called out skeptically with furrowed brows, wondering if Elon would eventually go soft on her. But he didn't.Instead, he persisted resolutely. "Jam
