All Chapters of From Housewife To His Worst Ex-Wife : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

(Mrs. Chen POV - First Time) I stood in the empty kitchen, wiping down the marble counters where Sarah's blood had pooled just hours before. The house was finally quiet. Tony had rushed to the hospital, Alex had disappeared into the night, and Elena was nowhere to be found. For the first time in months, I was alone with my thoughts and my secrets. My daughter Jenny had called from the hospital twenty minutes ago. Sarah's baby had been born safely, and the trap had been set. Everything was moving according to plan, my plan, not Elena's, though she believed herself to be the mastermind. I allowed myself a small smile as I folded the bloodstained towels. Poor Elena. She thought she had been so clever, manipulating everyone around her. She had no idea that every move she made, every scheme she hatched, had been carefully guided by me. The truth was, I had been watching this family for far longer than anyone realized. Not as a housekeeper. Not as a servant. But as a guardian, waiti

(Elena POV) I couldn't breathe. The words on the psychological profile document swam before my eyes as I read them again and again, hoping I had misunderstood something. But there it was in black and white: "Elena Morrison - Asset activation initiated 2023." "This can't be real," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "My parents love me. They've always loved me. I remember my childhood, I remember.." "What do you remember?" Anna asked gently, sitting down beside me on the couch. "Think carefully, Elena. What are your earliest memories?" I tried to focus, but my thoughts felt scattered and strange. "I remember... I remember being in the Morrison house. Playing in the backyard. My mother makes pancakes on Sunday mornings." "How old were you in these memories?" "Five, maybe six." I frowned, concentrating harder. "But before that..." A horrible emptiness opened up in my mind. I couldn't remember anything before age five. Not clearly. There were fragments, flashes of other fa

(Lily POV)The cabin was supposed to be our sanctuary. Hidden deep in the mountains, surrounded by dense forest and accessible only by a winding dirt road, it should have been the perfect place to hide while we figured out our next move.But I couldn't shake the feeling that we weren't alone.I stood at the kitchen window, watching the tree line for any sign of movement. It had been three days since Tony's house exploded, three days since we'd fled into the wilderness with nothing but the clothes on our backs and boxes of evidence that could bring down a trafficking network spanning decades."Lily, you're going to wear a hole in the floor," Elena said from the couch, where she was sorting through documents. "Come sit down. You're making me nervous."But I couldn't sit still. Something was wrong. I could feel it in my bones, in the way the hair on the back of my neck stood up every time I heard a sound outside."Has anyone else noticed that we're running low on food?" I asked, turning

(Anna POV)I looked at Sarah standing in the doorway with her armed men behind her, and I knew this was the moment everything had been leading to. All the lies, all the manipulation, all the pain - it was going to end here, one way or another."Hello, Anna," Sarah said with that fake sweet smile I'd grown to hate. "You're looking well. The scars add character, don't you think?""What do you want, Sarah?" I asked, keeping my voice calm even though my heart was pounding."What I've always wanted. What I've worked for my entire life." She stepped further into the room, completely relaxed despite the tension crackling in the air. "I want you to come home."Alex moved closer to me, his hand near his weapon. "She's not going anywhere with you."Sarah laughed. "Oh, Alex. Sweet, stupid Alex. Do you really think your little task force scares me? Do you honestly believe we didn't know about Operation Mirror Shield from the very beginning?"I saw Alex's face go pale. "That's impossible."

(Alex POV)The look on Lily's face when she realizes she can't move her legs is absolutely perfect. Pure, unadulterated horror. Her eyes go wide, pupils dilated with shock, and her mouth opens in a silent scream. She tries again and again to move them, her face scrunching up with effort, but nothing happens.It's everything I dreamed it would be."Alex," she whispers, her voice breaking. "Please tell me this is temporary. Please tell me the doctors can fix this."I have to bite the inside of my cheek to keep from smiling. Instead, I arrange my face into an expression of deep concern and sorrow."I wish I could, darling," I say softly. "But the damage to your spine... Dr. Peterson says there's only a five percent chance you'll ever walk again."The number is completely made up, but she doesn't know that. The real doctors gave her a sixty percent chance of full recovery, but Lily will never hear those words."Five percent," she repeats numbly."I'm so sorry, baby." I lean down and kiss
