All Chapters of My Ex Husband Who Despised Me Before, Now Wants Me Back.: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The cold marble beneath Sarah’s heels echoed sharply with every step she took, the sound crisp, controlled, and commanding, nothing like the soft, dragging footsteps she once had when she walked these same grounds as a woman no one noticed, no one respected, no one feared. Back then, she used to lower her head, shrink her presence, and move like she was apologizing for existing, but now… now every step she took carried weight, intention, and dominance, as though the floor itself recognized who she had become.Her bodyguards were already in perfect formation, walking just a pace behind and beside her, their presence firm, silent, and intimidating, a clear signal to everyone watching that this was no ordinary woman walking into the building. Sarah moved forward gracefully, her posture straight, her chin slightly lifted, her expression calm but unreadable as she approached the towering structure of Frederick’s empire.Her eyes lifted briefly to take in the building.“This is the empire h

“This doesn’t concern you,” Frederick replied coldly, his voice dropping into that sharp edge he used when he felt cornered but refused to show weakness.Gideon’s lips curved faintly, not in humor, but in quiet confidence, the kind that did not need to prove itself.“Everything concerning her now concerns me,” he said simply, his tone calm but carrying a weight that settled heavily in the room.The air shifted instantly.Tension thickened, almost visible, like a storm gathering between two men who once called each other brothers.Margaret’s gaze flickered between them, her eyes narrowing slightly as she leaned back against the table, folding her arms slowly, sensing the storm but choosing silence, watching, calculating.Frederick ignored Gideon deliberately, as if refusing to acknowledge his presence would somehow erase the reality standing in front of him.He turned back to Sarah, his voice lowering, almost controlled, but the desperation underneath was unmistakable.“Just a few minu

A commotion erupted outside.The voices of investors filled the hallway… angry, restless, and growing louder by the second.“Mr. Frederick, you have to come out immediately!” the secretary urged, panic in her voice. “You need to dissolve this before the media gets involved. If they report this, the company reputation will collapse!”“They’re saying the shares have dropped!” another voice added from the crowd. “We demand answers!”Within moments, the investors pushed forward into the office area, frustration spilling over like a broken dam. Some staggered in agitation, others shoved their way through, their faces flushed with anger. The noise became unbearable… layers of complaints, accusations, and fear mixing together.“What is happening to our money?!”“You said everything was fine!”“We trusted you!”Frederick stepped forward immediately, raising his hand.“Everyone, calm down and listen to me.”But no one listened.The noise only grew louder.Margaret tried to intervene from the s

Sarah’s cheeks couldn’t stop lifting into smiles after what had happened within just a few seconds.The expressions on their faces kept replaying in her head repeatedly as she walked through the company hallway with dominance flowing through every step she took. Her heels clicked rhythmically against the shiny marble floor, her posture elegant, her chin slightly raised. The confidence in her movement alone made people automatically clear the way for her.“Good evening, ma’am.”“Hello, Madam Sarah.”“You handled that perfectly, ma’am.”Greetings followed her from every angle.Employees stopped what they were doing just to greet her respectfully. Some lowered their heads slightly while others smiled nervously as she passed. It almost felt unreal.And strangely, most of them barely even noticed Gideon walking beside her.Yet Gideon didn’t seem bothered at all.He walked calmly beside her, their arms brushing lightly against each other as security guards surrounded them protectively. The

An hour earlier….Frederick remained seated alone inside his office, his body still but his mind unbearably loud.The entire room felt suffocating.The silence. The humiliation.Sarah’s voice.Margaret’s threats.Everything replayed endlessly inside his head like a punishment he couldn’t escape from.He loosened his tie roughly and leaned back against his chair, staring blankly at the ceiling above him. The office lights had become dimmer now, most of the workers already gone home hours ago.Night had fully fallen.Yet Frederick still couldn’t move.His laptop remained untouched in front of him. Files scattered across the desk meant nothing to him anymore because every time he tried focusing, Sarah’s face returned again.The way she walked past him confidently.The way everybody listened to her.The way she looked at him without emotion.God.That hurt him more than the humiliation itself.Frederick rubbed his hand tiredly over his face before checking his wristwatch.Almost midnight.
