Semua Bab After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company : Bab 161 - Bab 170

Nathan’s POVAs the maid walked away, I just stood there for a moment, caught between two very different worlds—Chloe laid seductively on the bed, wet and waiting… and my daughter, Lina, probably sitting on the couch downstairs wondering who I was.I rubbed a hand across my face and swore under my breath.“Chloe,” I said, my voice strained, “this isn’t over but I have to go.”She paused, her fingers hovering, lips parted. Her expression flickered between desire and disappointment. “You’re choosing her?”“I’m choosing to be a father.” The words felt foreign on my tongue, like I was trying out a new identity I hadn’t fully earned yet but I meant them.Chloe didn’t say anything else. She simply rolled over, turning her back to me.I straightened my shirt, zipped my pants, and left the room without looking back.As I made my way down the stairs, my palms were sweating. I had faced off against boardroom vultures, courtroom assassins, and the media wolves, but this? This was personal. This

Sophia's POV I woke up feeling like I hadn’t slept at all. The sun filtered through the curtains in pale streaks, lighting up the bedroom in a soft gold. But there was no warmth in me. My arms reached instinctively to the other side of the bed, but it was empty. Alex had gotten up early. I could hear the faint sound of the kettle boiling downstairs and the low hum of a radio—his attempt to keep things normal. I sat up slowly, my limbs heavy. Today was the day Lina would spend her first weekend with Nathan, two nights, forty-eight hours. It didn’t sound like much, but it felt like an eternity. My eyes landed on her little backpack by the door. It was pink, with sparkly unicorns dancing across it. The nanny must’ve packed her school stuff like I asked. A pair of white sneakers peeked out from under the zipper. She was ready, but I wasn’t. I forced myself out of bed and walked to the bathroom. My reflection startled me—puffy eyes, pale skin, and a look that screamed exhaustion. I sp

Nathan’s povI ended the call and sat back in my chair, fists clenched, jaw tight. The bastard on the other endwas already moving—I knew he would. That’s what I paid him for; he was silent, efficient, andloyal only to money. He didn’t ask questions, he just needed names and Kira’s name was at thetop of the list now.My office felt smaller somehow. The walls are too close. Her scent lingered—expensive perfumemixed with venom. I slammed my fist down on the desk, a jolt of pain flashing through myknuckles. I welcomed it. I needed the distraction, anything to keep my mind from spiraling.Kira knew something. No, not something, she knew everything.And that terrified me.For the past few years, I’d worked too damn hard to bury the truth—blood, lies, and betrayal. Allswept under the rug. I made deals in backrooms, forged signatures, and rewrote companyhistories. No one was supposed to find out that Alex and Sophia were the true heirs. No onewas supposed to know that I h

Sophia’s POVThe air between us thickened, silent but electric. I stared at the flash drive in Nathan’s hand through the grainy lens of the security screen. Rainwater dripped from his sleeves, his breath fogging slightly in the corridor light. He looked like a man on the edge, but then again—he always did when he wanted something.“Kira’s gone?” I repeated, my voice tight, my mind scrambling to make sense of it.He didn’t answer immediately, just stared at the camera like it was my face he wanted to see. Then, finally, a slow nod."She’s missing,” he said, quieter this time. “I don’t know what happened to her.”“Bullshit.” I didn’t even try to soften it. “You knew she had the drive. You were watching her, probably tailing her and now, conveniently, she disappears, and you show up here with this?”Nathan’s jaw clenched. He stepped closer to the door, rainwater pooling at his feet. “If I wanted to hurt her, I wouldn’t be standing here. I’d be somewhere far away, making sure you never s

Alex Pov “Oh my goodness, Sophia! I was gone for one day and you let that damn snake into the house?” I yelled, not angry at her but at Nathan who had mysteriously tricked her into letting him inside our house. I looked at Sophia and she looked sad at the way I spoke. I let out a sigh and walked up to her and pulled her in for a hug.“I’m sorry.” I said to her and she nodded her head still in my embrace. This was still very strange. I pulled her out as I looked into her eyes with hope that she understands me. “Don't do that again, please. He could have killed you, Soph.” I said in low tune as I tried not to direct my anger towards her.“I won't. I'm sorry.” she said and I looked at her with a faint smile but my mind was buzzing. “So, what was so important that brought the king out of his mansion.” I asked her, as her eyes widened.She disentangled herself from me and walked out the table, picking up a flash drive, “this.” She said and I gave her a questioning look.“Let me explain.
