All Chapters of Love Betrayed by Ex-Wife Revenge : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The night felt heavier than usual—thick, almost suffocating—as if the darkness itself had been waiting for Alyssa to finally break her silence. Ethan sat across from her in the dim living room, the mellow glow of a single lamp outlining the fatigue on both their faces. Rain tapped endlessly on the windows, a rhythm that mirrored the tension between them.Alyssa’s hands trembled slightly. She wasn’t sure where to begin. Her past with Rafael was a sealed box she had promised herself never to open again—not even for her own healing, let alone for someone else's understanding. But Ethan’s persistent gentleness, and the quiet storm brewing around her life, left her with no place to hide.“I need to tell you something,” she finally whispered.Ethan leaned forward, sensing the gravity of her tone. “I’m listening.”And the door opened.Alyssa spoke in fragments at first—like shattered glass slowly being pieced back together. She told Ethan how Rafael had once been the man she thought she coul

Rafael sat alone in his penthouse office, the city lights reflecting sharply against the glass walls. A glass of whiskey melted slowly between his fingers, untouched. On the large monitor before him, the doctored video of Alyssa played again and again—each loop scraping something raw inside him.He didn’t know what exactly he was looking for—until he found it.A flicker.A shadow.A digital artifact too precise to be accidental.Rafael leaned forward, narrowing his eyes. “So this is your game… Maya.”The name tasted bitter.For days he had brushed aside the nagging suspicion tugging at the edges of his mind. He had assumed the universe simply favored cruelty, that Alyssa’s downfall was a consequence of their messy history.But no.There was design behind this.A human hand.And now he finally saw it: the small, almost invisible watermark hidden in one of the frames. A signature he recognized from an old software tool—one Maya used when forging documents for her family’s business year

A shift in the air.A murmur in the hallways.A pressure—heavy, invisible, closing in.Maya felt it the moment she stepped into the office that morning. People weren’t looking at her with admiration anymore. They were looking with caution. With calculation. As if they sensed that the golden woman of Ethan Group wasn’t shining as brightly as before.Her perfectly manicured fingers tightened around her phone.Something was wrong.Very, very wrong.She rushed into her office, locked the door, and immediately began typing commands into her private terminal. She accessed the hidden folder where she stored the constructed video—backup files, raw assets, encrypted scripts.Except now…The folder was gone.Maya froze.“No. No, no, no—this isn’t possible.”She checked again.Then a third time.But the screen remained the same.A message appeared instead, replacing her hidden directory.“You should’ve been more careful, Maya.”Her pulse spiked. That voice—those words—she knew exactly who they b

The room was cold—too cold for a digital forensics lab, Alyssa thought, though the chill she felt had nothing to do with the air conditioning. It came from the screen in front of her, where Noah clicked through the last layers of the corrupted video.“Found something,” he said, voice tightening.Alyssa straightened, her pulse quickening. Ethan moved to stand beside her, his expression unreadable but tense. Noah zoomed in on the metadata view—lines of code, digital signatures, timestamps.“There’s a hidden file,” Noah explained. “Someone embedded a second data trail into the video. That’s why the file looked clean at first glance.”Alyssa’s stomach dropped. “Hidden… by who?”Noah hesitated. Then he pulled up the signature.It belonged to someone inside Ethan Group.A long silence fell over the room—heavy, suffocating.Ethan finally exhaled through his nose. “So it wasn’t just Maya.” His jaw clenched. “Someone on the inside helped her.”Alyssa felt her throat tighten. Betrayal tasted bi

Not because the temperature had changed, but because the air carried the residue of Liora’s frantic confession—a whisper of someone far more dangerous lurking within Ethan Group. Alyssa barely slept that night. Every word, every tremble in Liora’s voice played on a loop in her mind.There’s someone else—someone worse.By morning, Alyssa sat in the research room with multiple screens glowing before her. Noah had already set up access to the company’s archived shareholder history.“You’re sure Liora wasn’t just panicking?” Noah asked, pulling up a chair.Alyssa shook her head. “The fear in her eyes wasn’t for Maya. It was for someone else. Someone she didn’t dare name.”She zoomed into a list of silent investors—people who held minimal voting rights but enough stock to influence decisions if the company destabilized.One name flickered like a glitch.Davin Liang.Alyssa frowned. “Who is—?”She clicked deeper.Her breath stopped.Noah’s eyes widened as the data unfolded. “Wait… this can’
