Semua Bab Ex wife’s Revenge : Bab 41 - Bab 50

Raina gently placed the glass cup down on the kitchen counter, the soft clink echoing slightly in the quiet room. It had been over twenty minutes since she had left the bedroom, and she figured that was more than enough time for Aaron to shower, get dressed, and possibly cool off after his usual morning mood. She wasn’t exactly in a hurry to return to the room—especially not after he’d splashed water on her like some sort of military wake-up call.Still, she knew she had to face him eventually. Aaron had already made it clear that he wasn’t going to wait for her, so she might as well start getting ready for the day. With a sigh, she pushed away from the counter. It was just an auction event anyway—probably another overly formal gathering filled with people trying to outbid each other for things they didn’t really need. She hoped it would go by quickly. The sooner it ended, the sooner she could go home, crawl into bed, and try to forget about everything that was clouding her mind.As s

Kai bent down to pick up the scattered dresses that littered the floor. One by one, he folded them and stuffed them into the laundry bag. Some were inside-out, some still had the faint scent of Jamie’s perfume, and a few were stained with spilled wine from last night. He didn’t bother checking for what was salvageable—he just wanted the mess gone.After he dropped the bag by the door, he turned to the bedside table and picked up the disposable cups and empty wine bottles. He wondered, not for the first time, why he was the one doing all this. He wasn’t the maid. He wasn’t the personal assistant. He was Kai—smart, capable, ambitious—but here he was, playing housekeeper while the woman who claimed to love him snored away without a care.He let out a frustrated sigh just as Jamie began to stir.She rolled over lazily, her eyes fluttering open as sunlight spilled through the curtains. Her hair was a mess, her eyeliner smudged from the night before. “Good morning,” she murmured, her voice

Knock knock.That was the sound Lucas heard as he stood in front of his floor-length mirror, adjusting the silver cufflinks on his crisp white shirt. His navy-blue designer suit was perfectly tailored to his lean frame, and his hair was slicked back with precise care. Today wasn’t just any other day—it was the auction. And he had every intention of walking out as the center of attention.“Come in,” he said, his eyes not leaving his reflection.The door opened slowly, and Elise walked in with her usual air of elegance and control. Dressed in a cream-colored pantsuit and adorned in subtle gold jewelry, she looked every bit the formidable woman she was known to be.“Mother,” Lucas greeted, giving her a brief nod. “Good morning.”“Good morning.” Elise’s eyes scanned his outfit approvingly. “It’s good to see you’re up early and dressed sharply. You look confident. I like it.”“You know me, Mom,” Lucas said, flashing her a cocky smile as he straightened his tie one final time. “I always go

James finally pulled the sleek black car to a stop in front of the grand auction center. The sun reflected off the glass panels of the building, giving it a polished, high-society glow that immediately screamed wealth and exclusivity. He stepped out of the driver’s seat, adjusted his coat, and rounded the vehicle.First, he opened Aaron’s door with a professional nod. Aaron stepped out smoothly, fixing his cufflinks and adjusting his red tie with a sharp flick of his wrist. His gaze swept across the elegant surroundings, taking in the light chatter of guests arriving, the luxury cars pulling in, and the faint hum of classical music playing from hidden speakers.Next, James moved to the other side and opened the door for Raina.Her red dress emerged before she did, the fabric spilling out of the car like liquid flame. It shimmered subtly under the sunlight, trailing behind her as she stepped down. Her heels touched the pavement with quiet grace, and for a brief moment, even the wind pa

The whole room fell into a tense, stifling silence. It was as if someone had hit the mute button on the entire event. All eyes shifted to one side of the hall, toward the small but intense commotion unfolding between two women—one dressed in fiery red elegance and the other in glittering gold vengeance.Raina stood frozen, her body rigid as the weight of everyone’s gaze bore down on her. Her heart pounded in her chest like a drum, the thudding nearly deafening. Her wide eyes stared at the crisp dollar bills that now littered the floor around her feet. The stack of money Jessica had thrown at her face had scattered upon impact, fluttering to the ground like fallen leaves.She didn’t know what to say. She didn’t know how to move.The whispers started as faint murmurs but quickly built into a rising tide of gossip. Elegant men in tailored suits leaned toward their partners; women in sequined gowns exchanged knowing glances and hushed speculations. Phones subtly lifted, recording from afa
