365 Days To Ruin My Ex Husband’s Life のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Chapter 31: The DinnerDay 7/365VICKY.Rue didn’t maintain eye contact with me, and honestly, I was glad he didn’t.We had a heated argument a few hours ago, and I was still embarrassed.“I’m sorry if anything I said earlier hurt you or gave you the wrong idea,” Rue said quietly, breaking the silence.“You don’t have to apologize to me,” I replied, my voice low but firm. “But I would love to make a request.”“Sure,” he said, keeping his eyes on the road. “What’s that?”“We are in a contractual relationship, so I’d appreciate it if we kept things formal. I know we’ve talked about this before, but this is serious business with a $10 million compensation clause for breach. We shouldn’t joke around or act like we—”“Hold on,” Rue cut in. “Are you saying this because I brought up Clause B of the contract?”“I’m saying that where we need to fake it and pretend, let’s do that. But when we’re alone, let’s maintain our actual agreement. That includes scrapping me out of your Friday fancy brea

Chapter 33: The Assistant _JulieDay 8/365VICKYI didn’t get enough sleep last night. My mind kept running in circles, wondering if Bella had seen the medical report. I needed to hear it directly from her that she hadn’t. I rolled to the other side of my bed and back again. Then I reached for my diary from its hiding spot, but my mind was blank—I couldn’t write anything. I tossed it back under the bed.Dragging myself out of bed, I brushed my teeth and tied my hair into a messy bun. As I walked to the window, I noticed several cars driving into the compound. I squinted. What’s going on?Then it hit me—today was the company dinner.But why were they arriving this early in the morning? There was no way the dinner was being hosted here… and even if it was, it was freaking so early to start storming the house .“How am I going to keep up with this?” I stretched lazily just as the doorbell rang.I already knew it wasn’t Rue—he never rang the bell; he just knocked.“Rue?” I called out, adj

Chapter 35: The Big AnnouncementDay 8/365VICKY.The party officially began at 8:30. This didn’t look like a company dinner at all. The yard was crowded with guests, and cameras were everywhere. I watched from the rooftop, waiting for Rue to cue me.My eyes scanned the crowd below until they landed on Williams and Valerie. Williams was glued to his phone, probably trying to distract himself, while Valerie was already restless — gulping drinks and moving around like she couldn’t sit still. She had seen me earlier with Rue when we kissed, so if Williams had told her Rue was announcing his engagement tonight, she probably needed to confirm it with her own eyes.Julia came rushing in behind me, panting.“What’s wrong?” I asked.“Rue says you need to be seated. Here—your glasses.” She handed them to me.It was the perfect disguise. I looked so different, I was sure no one would recognize me — well, no one except Valerie. Williams hadn’t seen me all dolled up like this yet.“How do I just

.Chapter 37: Everyone is a suspect RUE.It was almost 2 a.m. when I left Vicky’s room.She was finally asleep—barely. I could still hear her breathing unevenly through the door.But I couldn’t rest.Not after what I saw.Not after what she showed me.A video from the family house kitchen trending online. TOnly people close to us would have had access.And we had a estate that the whole family lived in except me and that video was taken in our main kitchen , it had to be one of them . Someone had leaked that video to disgrace Vicky . No, not just her—me.I drove straight to the estate.I didn’t wait till the heat had died down . I didn’t care if they were busy . I summoned all of them—Mom, Dad, Jeremy , Calvin and their wives , Even Grandma if she was awake. I didn’t knock. I barged in.They were all in the living room except Grandma when I arrived, wearing a mix of robes, pajamas, and confused expressions.“Why do you want to see us , Again ? Talking about that girl is giving me

Chapter 39: The Woman — SiennaDay 10/365VICKY.In Rue’s note, he told me not to wait up.But I wanted to thank him for preparing dinner—and for sending Bella down to check if I was okay.And truthfully, I just wanted to know how the talk with his family went.I checked my wrist. It was almost midnight.I rushed to the window like I had been doing for the past three hours. Still no Rue.My fingers tapped the window pane nervously.“I hope nothing’s wrong,” I murmured.I checked the wall clock again.Still midnight.I grabbed my phone and hesitated before calling Bella. Maybe he stayed over at the estate. Maybe he was just tired.Still, I dialed.“Vickyyy,” Bella mumbled from the other end.Her voice was sleepy. I’d clearly just woken her up.“Bella, I’m sorry, but… is Rue over there? He isn’t home yet.”“Rue?” she yawned. “Your man left the house before I even got there. Maybe he stopped by the office. Don’t worry yourself too much. You should go to bed.”“Oh… right. Thanks. Good nig
