Rejected Ex-Wife Returns As A CEO のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Chapter Fifty-Two: The Results ArriveThe next forty-eight hours felt endless.The waiting.The silence.It gnawed at Sofia like a living thing.Aaron had stayed close—physically—but the emotional distance was undeniable.They were both holding their breath.And the weight of it was unbearable.The knock at the door came early.Too early.Sofia’s heart pounded as she opened it, finding a stern-faced court officer holding a sealed envelope.“Miss Laurent. These are the official DNA results. You are required to open and acknowledge them in the presence of the legal counsel and the children’s father.”Aaron appeared behind her, his face pale but composed.“I’m here.”The officer nodded.“I’ll give you privacy.”He handed over the envelope, turned, and left.The room felt too quiet once he was gone.Sofia’s hands trembled as she held the sealed paper.Aaron’s voice was hoarse.“Open it, Sofia.”She swallowed hard.This was it.Proof of what she already knew.But the fear was there—lingeri

Chapter Fifty-Four: The Final Game BeginsThe storm outside mirrored the tension brewing inside Sofia’s chest.Rain lashed against the penthouse windows, each drop echoing the dread coiling tighter inside her.Aaron had doubled security. The guards were stationed at every entrance.But no amount of protection could ease the feeling that Chloe was too close.Sofia sat in the living room, watching the twins play on the rug, their laughter a temporary balm to the growing anxiety.But the photograph still haunted her. The threat. The invasion of privacy.And the lingering question—what is she planning next?The sound of the elevator chiming startled her, but Aaron was already on alert, stepping into the room from the hallway.“It’s Lucas,” he said softly, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder.Sofia exhaled, but her pulse refused to slow.Lucas entered the room, his face grim, a thick folder tucked under his arm.“Tell me you have something,” Aaron demanded, his voice sharp with restr

Chapter Fifty-Six: Rebuilding TrustThe morning after Chloe’s downfall should have felt like victory.But for Sofia, the scars still lingered.The headlines were shifting—finally focusing on Chloe’s fraud instead of Sofia’s past.But the damage ran deeper than the public eye.It was personal.The storm may have ended—But she was still standing in the aftermath.Sofia moved quietly through the kitchen, pouring cereal for Liam and Aria, who sat giggling at the breakfast table.Aaron stood near the counter, watching them.Watching her.The tension was different now.Not hostile.But cautious.Like both of them were afraid to say the wrong thing.After the DNA test… after everything…They were still healing.“Sofia,” Aaron said gently, stepping closer as the twins continued playing.She tensed slightly but met his gaze.“I was thinking… maybe we should take the twins somewhere this weekend. Just us. No press. No security. Just… normal.”Her heart softened at the thought.But there was st

Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Unforgivable SecretThe next morning felt heavier than the last.Rain pounded against the windows, a relentless echo of the storm brewing inside Sofia.She hadn’t slept.Aaron had stayed close all night, his protective presence constant, but her mind refused to rest.Because Chloe wasn’t done.She could feel it.And when her phone buzzed that morning—She knew the storm was about to break.Sofia’s hands trembled as she opened the article link.The headline made her stomach twist painfully.“The Forgotten Child: The Truth Sofia Laurent Never Shared.”No. No, no, no…Her breath caught as she read the article.“Exclusive reports have surfaced alleging Sofia Laurent concealed the tragic death of a third child, a son who died at birth—an event she never disclosed publicly. Sources claim emotional instability and neglect following the incident, raising questions about her fitness as a mother.”It wasn’t just exposing her past grief.It was weaponizing it.Chloe had

Chapter Sixty: Chloe’s Trap SpringsThe fallout came faster than Sofia had expected.By the next morning, her face was everywhere.Headlines flashing.Social feeds overflowing.“Sofia Laurent Accuses Sister-in-Law of Attempted Murder – Emotional Breakdown or Hidden Agenda?”“Chloe Kingston Speaks Out: ‘She’s Lying to Destroy Me.’”Lying.The word echoed in Sofia’s mind, sharp and cruel.Because this time—She wasn’t.But the world didn’t know that.And Chloe was playing the victim flawlessly.Aaron stood at the head of the conference table, his face a mask of cold fury.Lucas, Elise, and their legal team were seated around him, the tension thick as reports and articles flashed across the screen.Chloe’s statement played again.“I loved my family. I would never hurt Sofia. These are cruel lies designed to cover her instability. My only crime was trying to protect my niece and nephew from a toxic home environment.”Aaron’s fist slammed against the table, rattling the glasses.“Enough.”
