Lahat ng Kabanata ng Betrayed by Ex, Married to Billionaire : Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

The city’s late-afternoon sun spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the new office, painting long golden streaks across the conference room. Laptops hummed softly, papers were scattered across the table, and in the center of the controlled chaos stood Rafael and Alina — heads bent close over a shared laptop.Too close.Nadine stood by the doorway, holding her tablet, watching them.“Rafael, if we adjust this segment targeting to align with the demographic spike, we can boost engagement by twenty percent,” Alina said, her voice bright with enthusiasm.“Twenty percent?” Rafael whistled, leaning even closer to see the chart on the screen. “That’s impressive. I didn’t expect the numbers to shift that much.”Alina grinned. “Sometimes the patterns hide until someone digs a little deeper.”Their shoulders brushed.Nadine’s jaw tightened, though she kept her expression neutral. She stepped inside.“Rafael,” she called, trying to sound casual. “Are you free for a moment? We need to r

The day had been long, heavy, and shaped by the weight of unspoken jealousy. Nadine stepped out of the conference room after a draining audit session, rubbing her temples as she walked through the quiet hallway. Her mind was foggy from numbers and reports, and she wanted nothing more than to return to her apartment and collapse on the couch.But as she rounded the corner toward Rafael’s temporary office, she paused.Two voices drifted out from the slightly open door—voices she recognized too well.Alina’s.And Rafael’s.Nadine froze, her pulse thudding loudly in her ears.“…why are you still avoiding the topic?” Alina’s voice was soft but insistent.Rafael let out a tired sigh. “Because there is no topic, Alina. I’ve made myself clear.”Nadine took a step closer without meaning to. She knew she shouldn’t eavesdrop. She knew she should walk away. But her legs wouldn’t move.She needed to hear this.Inside the room, Alina’s tone dropped to a raw, almost fragile confession.“I like you,

The storm arrived without warning — not outside, but inside the very heart of Nadine’s company.“Are you telling me this file was leaked?” Nadine’s voice cut through the meeting room like a shard of ice.Her team sat stiffly around the conference table, exchanging nervous glances. On the screen behind them was proof: confidential strategy documents now in the hands of a rival company. Documents only a few people had access to.One of those people had betrayed her.Finally, Marina — Nadine’s most trusted staff member — lowered her head. “I… I’m sorry, Ms. Nadine.”Nadine froze.Silence suffocated the room.“You?” Nadine whispered, as if the word itself weighed a thousand pounds. “You’re the one who leaked it?”Marina swallowed. “I didn’t mean to hurt you. They offered money. They threatened my family…”Nadine felt something inside her crumble. “You could have come to me. You could have said something.”“I was scared,” Marina answered, eyes brimming with tears.“Scared enough to betray

The morning air felt unnaturally heavy in the office. Rafael sat behind his desk, his jaw tight, his eyes fixed on the report displayed on his screen. He had barely slept after the confrontation with Nadine, but exhaustion wasn’t the only thing that hollowed his expression.It was what he had discovered at dawn.A different truth.A darker one.Footsteps approached his office door, and his assistant entered cautiously. “Sir… Mr. Davin is here. He said it’s urgent.”Rafael’s lips curled in annoyance. “Let him in.”The moment the door opened fully, Davin stepped inside, tension written across his face as clearly as it was in Rafael’s. For a brief second, neither spoke. The room felt charged — not with professional formality, but with raw, unfiltered hostility.Davin broke the silence first. “We need to talk.”Rafael leaned back in his chair, expression cold. “About what? The photos? Or the interview you conveniently gave that dragged Nadine’s name back into the public eye?”Davin closed

Nadine stood by the wide glass window of Rafael’s penthouse, staring at the city lights shimmering beneath the night sky. The world outside looked peaceful, but everything inside her chest was far from it. The aftershocks of her hospital incident still haunted her dreams — flashes of falling, screams, the cold echo of danger. Yet, tonight, something heavier weighed on her mind.She could feel Rafael watching her from behind.He had been trying all day — soft gestures, careful steps, anything to show that he was committed to rebuilding what had almost collapsed between them. But the one thing they hadn’t talked about yet… was the memory that returned to Nadine after the incident. A memory of Davin. A memory she thought she had buried long ago.Rafael’s voice finally broke the silence.“Nadine… you’ve barely spoken to me since yesterday. If something is wrong, tell me.”She turned slowly, heart tightening at the concern in his eyes. Rafael had been more patient than she deserved, and sh
