After Divorce, My Wife Becomes The Boss Lady のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

Davina I spent the next hour going through files in silence. One after the other, I scanned through the documents laid neatly on my desk. Most were routine reports—weekly progress from department heads, internal memos, and some old correspondence that had been marked for review. I made notes on a few and placed sticky tabs on others. It was a slow process, but I needed to be thorough.Tim returned with a brown folder in hand and placed it on my desk.“That’s the list of businesses under Charez Holdings,” he said.I nodded and opened it. “Walk me through it.”“Sure,” he began. “We have Charez Pharmaceuticals—the primary arm for R&D and distribution. Then there’s Mavlin Biotech—a subsidiary under Pharma that mostly focuses on plant-based alternatives. We also own Delphine Diagnostics, which handles lab testing and medical kits, and it operates independently. Then we have Veltron Consulting, mostly HR and corporate restructuring. Last year we acquired BlueBridge Analytics, and that one’

DavinaMy heart skipped in anticipation as we got closer to the hospital. I didn't realize how much I looked forward to seeing my babies and hearing their heartbeats until this moment. My mind drifted to my last pregnancy; I had not been that happy then, even though, at that time, It felt like that was the happiest I could have been. Probably because my babies are the only things that are mine, and I got them without struggling for them, it felt soothing to know I have them. My mind drifted to the one person I had vowed not to think about- Sebastian. My heart couldn't help but wonder if, just if, there would have been the slightest difference in his behavior if he had known about the babies if he had chosen me over Courtney if he had known if he would have gone through with the divorce but Alas all these thoughts and questions I would never have answers to. The thought of Courtney being by his side in the corporation I had built sent a pang to my heart. Her baby will almost be as o

DavinaDinner started off quietly. None said anything at first but I knew the conversations would soon start. Of course, it didn’t take long for Alex to break the silence. “So,” Alex said slowly, “how’s work treating you, Stasha?”I looked up, met his eyes for half a second, then looked at my plate again. “Busy,” I said. “But manageable.”He nodded. “That’s good. Adjusting okay?”I paused for a second. “I guess so.”It wasn’t a lie. I was adjusting. Slowly. I’m getting used to the scowling and hateful gazes. That counted for something. “If you ever need help, you know you can reach out to me, okay?” he added.I looked up again; this time, my gaze lingered. “Why would I call you?”He gave a small shrug. “Just saying. I’ve been around the company a lot longer than you have. Thought maybe I could make things easier.”“I can handle it.”“I never said you couldn’t.”I held his gaze for a moment, then looked away again. He was annoying. But not in the way that made me want to scream any

Davina Tim was standing by the car when I walked out.He looked like he had just gotten out, probably about to come in and get me. When he saw me, he paused, gave a short nod, and opened the back door without saying anything.I got in without a word.He closed the door gently and got into the driver’s seat. The engine came on, and we pulled out of the driveway.The silence settled in almost immediately. Neither of us spoke.Tim wasn’t usually talkative, but this time the quiet felt different. Like he knew something was off and didn’t want to make it worse. Or maybe he didn’t know what to say. I didn’t know either, so I didn’t bother trying.I leaned my head back slightly, eyes on the moving scenery. My thoughts were jumbled. I didn’t want to think about last night, but it was hard not to. The look on Alex’s face. His voice at my door. That knock that wouldn’t stop. All of it sat heavy on my chest.I knew Tim knew. He had sent me the message. He figured it out. Which meant he knew exa

DavinaI took out my phone and stared at that message again.I KNOW YOUR SECRET, STASHA CHAREZ.It had been two months, but the words hadn’t lost their weight. They sat heavy in the back of my mind like unfinished business. Like something rotting in the corner that you could ignore during the day but smell at night.He never followed up.Not a single call. Not a text. Nothing.Not even a coward’s attempt to apologize or explain.I had told him not to reach out again. I had said I didn’t want to see him. I had made it clear.But there was a difference between respecting someone’s boundaries and hiding behind them like a shield.And Alex? He hid.He didn’t own what he did. He didn’t even try.It was like he dropped a bomb and disappeared.So now, with the meeting coming up tomorrow, with his name reappearing all over the expansion files, with that stupid anonymous message still lodged in my head—I was unraveling, slowly and silently.I didn’t let it show, but I felt it.All day I’d been
