The Rebirth Of The Billionaire's Ex Chubby Wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

-ORION VALOIS-I was already at my desk before sunrise, as usual. My eyes stayed glued to the screen, scanning through a document that needed approval. The coffee beside me had gone lukewarm, and I’d barely taken a sip when the door opened without a knock.“Do people not believe in knocking anymore?” I muttered, not bothering to look up.“Good morning to you too, Mr. Grumpy,” came Damian’s voice — light, teasing, and annoyingly cheerful for this hour.I sighed. “You’re early. What’s the occasion?”“Occasion? Please. I’m a hardworking man.” He strolled in like he owned the place, a folder in hand and that smug grin I knew too well. He dropped the folder on my desk dramatically. “Documents for your signature.”I skimmed through them quickly, signed, and pushed the folder back. “Done. You can go now.”But he didn’t move.I looked up. “You’re still here.”“Yeah.”“Why?”He leaned against the edge of my desk, folding his arms like he had nowhere else to be. “Because I’m curious.”I set my

-AURORA WRIGHT-By the time evening rolled in, I was already dressed and sitting in front of the mirror, staring blankly at my reflection. Orion walked out of the closet, fixing his cufflinks, and when our eyes met in the mirror, he smiled faintly.“You ready?” he asked.“As ready as I can be,” I muttered, grabbing my purse and standing up.He came closer, adjusting a stray lock of my hair. “Remember, keep your head high. You’re not the same woman they once broke.”I nodded, though my stomach churned with nerves. “I know.”We left the house shortly after, his car slicing through the quiet streets. I sat in silence most of the way, my heart pounding the closer we got to Ethan’s place. I didn’t know what to expect, seeing them. But one thing was certain: they weren’t going to see me broken anymore.When we pulled up in front of the mansion, memories hit me like sharp blades. I took a deep breath, straightened my shoulders, and stepped out. Orion walked beside me, calm and confident, hi

-AURORA WRIGHT- Walking into the office the next morning, I did what I always did..put on a calm face and greeted everyone who greeted me. A few “Good morning, ma’am,” here and there, a couple polite smiles. Nothing out of the ordinary.I think I'm doing great as the boss.. I think I'm hitting off in the right path. A little bit intimidating like the real boss Lady in telenovela series.Once I got into my office, I dropped my bag, took a slow breath, and started going through the stack of files waiting for me. For over an hour, I flipped page after page, signing where needed, correcting where necessary. I was just beginning to lose myself in the monotony when my phone buzzed.“Ma'am?” my secretary’s voice came through. “There’s a lady here asking to see you.”I didn’t even look up. “Who is she?”“She… refused to give her name. She said you’d know exactly who she is once you see her.”I paused mid-page. That kind of sentence never meant anything good.I wonder who that is.“Fine. S

ORION VALOIS- I had barely stepped out of the shower when my phone started buzzing nonstop on the dresser. I grabbed it, already annoyed, but the moment I saw Salle’s name pop up, my irritation twisted into something else.I picked up.“Sir"."What is it Salle? It's late” I asked.Salle sounded breathless. “Aurora’s drunk. Like… very drunk.”My stomach tightened. “Where?”“At the bar near the intersection— the one with the neon red sign. I had to rush back to the office, so I couldn’t wait.”“Why didn’t you bring her home yourself?” I grabbed a black face cap from the drawer and shoved it on.“Because work emergency, Sir. Just go pick her up before someone stupid tries something.”My jaw clenched.“I’m on my way.”I ended the call, yanked my keys, and left the house without another word. I didn’t even bother with a coat. The face cap would have to be enough to keep people from whispering why is Orion Valois in a bar past midnight.The moment I stepped into the bar, the scent of alco

ETHAN SLADEI couldn’t shake off the humiliation, no matter how many times I replayed the scene in my head. The moment Aurora snapped at me in front of the staff—my former staff—it kept looping like a bad movie.She didn’t even raise her voice much, but every word hit like a slap.“You’re not the boss here, Ethan. Under my leadership, no one bullies anyone because of status.”Her words wouldn’t stop echoing, getting louder each time.How can she humiliate me? Simply because she now rules over the company and passes out orders?... My ego had been crushed.I used to have the employees at the tip of my fingers, at my beck and call. But just because of a janitor, I was embarrassed and reduced to being a mere staff.Throughout my day at the office, the employees wouldn't stop pointing fingers and openly making jest of me... It's just like they have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to mock me and Aurora just made that path for them.By the time I got home, I was boiling.My mother w
