Lahat ng Kabanata ng Trapped in Ex-Wife's Love : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 7

"Are you sure you can get out of this trap, Arka? The trap you created for yourself long ago."The sentence haunted Arka's mind every time he looked at the woman who was now sitting gracefully on his lap. Amidst the glimmer of crystal lamps and the sheen of a gold dress, his ex-wife, Kania, looked like a queen who had just reclaimed her throne.Arka knew they were no longer bound by a sacred vow. Their divorce was final, signed on stamped paper years ago. Yet, in this private room, with the aroma of whiskey and Kania's challenging gaze, Arka once again became the helpless, foolish man.Tonight was supposed to be the celebration of his new engagement. He was supposed to be celebrating a new chapter. But Kania's presence in the private lounge, in a high-slit dress that showed off her long legs, had ruined everything."You didn't have to come, Kania," Arka hissed, his voice choked.Kania smiled cynically, caressing Arka's jaw with her cold fingers. "You're right, darling. I didn't have t

"Kania, you'd better leave now, don't continue your crazy plan, I'm saying this for your own good," Celine said.When Celine suddenly came and stopped her, it not only surprised Kania but also made her feel a little doubtful."What are you talking about? I don't understand, besides, this is an event that uses a special invitation, so I'm coming in because of that invitation," Kania pressed, of course, defending herself.Celine was not easily swayed by that; she was the only one in Arka's family who didn't easily trust anyone. That was the reason Kania started to feel hesitant about continuing her plan.When their eyes met and stared at each other, Kania could only quickly turn her face away; she was too lazy to make eye contact like that.There was a long silence between them until both felt tired of standing in that spot. Celine would not leave just like that before she truly made sure the sly woman had gone."What are you waiting for? Go, the main event is over, and no outsiders are

Kania took a deep breath, trying to calm her violently pounding heart. Whatever they were talking about, she had to know. Curiosity and fear mixed into a single, suffocating knot. Slowly, she approached the door, pressing her ear to the thick wood, trying to catch faint scraps of the conversation."Yes, Sir. I know that. I'll take care of it as soon as possible," Arka's voice was heard, clearer this time. There was a familiar tone of seriousness and authority, a tone Kania had always heard when Arka was handling important work in the past.Then, her father's voice was heard again, this time with the hearty laugh Kania missed. "Ha ha ha! Good, son. You're always reliable. I trust you. I hope your plan goes smoothly. Don't worry about Kania. She's fine."Kania's heart sank. Don't worry about Kania? Her father said that to Arka? And what plan were they talking about? A plan that made Arka contact her father in the middle of the night?Kania stepped back, a dizzy spell assaulting her. Thi

Kania allowed the audio recording on her phone to continue playing. Although it was only Olivia’s whimpering and flirtatious dialogue, it was enough ammunition to destroy Arka’s image as an honorable man. Disgust crawled over her, yet she held her ground.“Insane! They are actually doing it here, in the main living room,” Kania muttered, shifting her body to find a better vantage point.She could clearly see Olivia giggling coyly and the strange man, whom she now suspected was Olivia’s kept lover. However, beneath the heated scene, Kania sensed an oddity. The security in that area was too relaxed, and the foreign man looked like an actor merely following a script, devoid of any genuine threatening aura. Arka would never allow anyone else to appear stronger within his own mansion. Something felt wrong.Kania decided to search for Arka. If the man truly was inside, he would be in a more private space. She slipped through an old ventilation shaft toward the East Wing corridor—the area of
