Semua Bab My CEO husband cheated on me, and now I will take my revenge: Bab 11 - Bab 20

A Life Lost Leandro watched me from the audience, partially hidden in the shadows of the auditorium. His presence was discreet, calculated, but I knew exactly where he was. Despite the distance, I could feel his gaze fixed on me—like a silent anchor reminding me that I was not alone in this war. I had to face a public audience and officially announce the inevitable: Matt Stone and I were getting divorced. The seats filled quickly. The journalists looked desperate, pushing each other to get the best angle. Professional cameras were aimed directly at my face, flashes firing nonstop, and the lighting was so intense it made me nauseous. The heat from the spotlights mixed with the constant murmur of the crowd made the air feel thick, almost impossible to breathe. Even so, I smiled inwardly. I had learned to maintain composure even in the middle of chaos. I hadn’t heard from Matt in days, and against all odds, that brought me relief. After all, he had already been living his life far

My New Life After canceling the shared credit card contracts and demanding that Matt leave my house, I was finally able to breathe peacefully. Leandro was organizing meetings with new investors; at last, K.O. Company officially had no investors, and the company was on the brink of bankruptcy. Of course, Matt didn’t know yet—because when he finds out, he’ll come raging as usual. I headed to the hospital so I could work in peace. I hoped the shift would be as pleasant as possible and that nothing would disturb my calm, but clearly that wasn’t going to happen. I was finishing up with a patient when, as I stepped out of the room, I found Matt waiting for me outside, arms crossed. I looked at him with disgust and walked past him, but he gently grabbed my arm. I understood he wanted to talk, so I told him to follow me to my office where we could speak more comfortably. Leandro watched everything from a distance and ordered the guards to stay outside the room in case Matt lost his mind—ju

The Family Grows “Listen, Sofía. A man must make sacrifices on the path to becoming who he is today. Philip’s sacrifice was getting involved with your parents. Parker was like a brother to me from another mother, and his beloved wife was a beautiful, brilliant woman—just like you.” Matteo opened a bottle of whiskey as his voice grew melancholic. My gaze shifted to Leandro, who stepped behind me and placed both hands on my shoulders, trying to calm me and reassure me that everything was fine. I looked back at Matteo and listened carefully. “Philip did business with your parents many years ago so he could become the CEO of K.O. Company. They supported him—and the idiot betrayed them. Their little baby, Sofía, was sent to live with her aunt as a final wish, to keep you safe.” He took a sip from his glass and offered it to me with his other hand. “Are you saying my parents were also part of the mafia?” I asked, setting the empty glass down. “Of course they were—among the best. The po

A Deal Behind My Back By Matteo’s orders, I went to his office the day after the gathering. We would probably be talking about the companies or what the next step would be. Before going in, I noticed voices coming from the living room. It seemed Matteo was there with Agnese and Leandro. I moved closer to the edge so I could listen better without them noticing my presence. “You didn’t tell us she lost a baby! That makes this far more serious than it already was,” Agnese said forcefully. “Leandro, is it true?” Matteo asked, looking at the young man with concern. “It is, but it was her ex-husband’s child. She wouldn’t have wanted that baby anyway.” “Don’t be so selfish! It was her baby, it was inside her!” Agnese paced back and forth, thinking of a solution. “We have to finish them off. They must pay.” “I didn’t want to tell you because I knew this would happen. This is her fight, not yours. You shouldn’t get involved,” Leandro said as he walked toward the couch and let himself fa

Before the Disaster The trip had been calm; we were still trying to come up with some kind of plan against Matt. I knew he was stupid enough to let himself be guided by whatever the Chen clan told him. The real problem was that we didn’t know whether the Chen clan was truly helping him or simply using him as a pawn to seize more territory. Leandro walked toward me, handing me a briefcase filled with papers that would be useful for the trial. Lorenzo had been tracking Anaís to keep her under surveillance and know exactly what her movements were. That afternoon we were supposed to appear in court, but before preparing everything, I needed to pay Anaís a small visit. Lorenzo sent a message with the girl’s exact location. I looked at Leandro and let him know to go after her while I headed to the police station. I would give Anaís a small warning so she would be very clear about what I was capable of—and what truly suited her. When I arrived at the room where they were holding Anaís, m
