All Chapters of My Ex-Husband CEO Regrets Too Late: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

For a few seconds the room went completely silent.Leo slowly looked up from the laptop.“Your… brother?”Daniel frowned.“Sir, you don’t have a brother.”Sebastian didn’t respond immediately.His eyes stayed on the screen.On the hacker’s face.Then he spoke quietly.“I used to.”Olivia stepped closer.“You never told me that.”Sebastian’s voice stayed calm.“Because he’s been gone for fifteen years.”Leo tilted his head.“What happened to him?”Sebastian answered simply.“He died.”Daniel shook his head.“If he died… then who’s using your login?”Sebastian looked at the hacker again.On the screen the man smiled faintly.“You always were slow to notice things, Sebastian.”Daniel whispered,“You’re kidding me.”The hacker leaned forward.“Hello, brother.”The word echoed in the room.Leo blinked.“Oh.”Vanessa let out a quiet breath.“Well.”She crossed her arms.“That’s dramatic.”Sebastian’s face didn’t change.But his voice was colder than before.“You’re not him.”The hacker chuc

Sebastian didn’t answer Marcus.He simply walked forward.Two steps.Three.Stopping right at the edge of the open vault in the floor.Cold air rose from the hidden chamber below.Rows of servers hummed quietly in the darkness.Marcus leaned back in the chair behind the desk.“I was wondering if you’d hesitate.”Sebastian looked down into the vault.“How much time?”Leo’s voice came through the earpiece.“Forty seconds.”Marcus smiled slightly.“That should be enough.”Sebastian stepped down the metal ladder without another word.Inside the penthouse, everyone watched through Leo’s laptop.The building cameras followed Sebastian’s movement.Olivia stood close to the screen.Daniel muttered,“This is insane.”Vanessa didn’t look worried.She simply watched.Inside the vault the lights flickered on automatically.The room was larger than anyone expected.Old concrete walls.Industrial racks filled with servers.And in the center—A single terminal.Marcus’s real command station.Sebasti

For a moment nobody in the penthouse moved.Leo kept staring at the screen.The driver inside the truck slowly turned his head toward the garage camera.Captain Adrian Wolfe.Daniel whispered first.“That… can’t be right.”Olivia frowned.“But he was outside the building with the police.”Leo zoomed the image further.The face became clearer.Same uniform.Same badge.But something was different.Leo whispered quietly,“That’s not the same man.”Daniel leaned closer.“What do you mean?”Leo pointed at the screen.“The badge number.”Olivia looked confused.“What about it?”Leo zoomed the badge.“Different.”Daniel blinked.“You’re telling me that’s not the real Captain Wolfe?”Leo nodded.“No.”Vanessa smiled faintly.“Well.”She crossed her arms.“Tonight just keeps getting better.”Inside the vault beneath the office, Marcus was still on the floor.Sebastian stood over him.“You set this up.”Marcus laughed quietly.“You finally understand.”Sebastian’s voice stayed cold.“The fake

The bomb in the floor had stopped blinking.But no one in the penthouse relaxed.Daniel kept staring at the device.“You’re telling me…”He looked at Leo.“…that thing just decided not to explode?”Leo shook his head slowly.“No.”He pointed at the laptop screen.“Someone shut it down.”Olivia looked at the message again.NOT FOR YOU.Vanessa whispered quietly,“That’s not very comforting.”Daniel frowned.“If Zero saved us… why say that?”Leo zoomed the signal again.“Because he didn’t do it for us.”Inside the vault below Sebastian’s office, Marcus heard the same message through the system speakers.He slowly looked up.“Zero.”Sebastian paused halfway up the ladder.“You know that name.”Marcus nodded.“Yes.”Sebastian climbed out of the vault and turned toward him.“Explain.”Marcus gave a short laugh.“That hacker you keep talking about?”“Yes.”Marcus leaned back against the wall.“He’s not a hacker.”Sebastian’s eyes narrowed.“Then what is he?”Marcus answered quietly.“A ghos

The vault went silent after Marcus spoke.“I declared war on you.”Sebastian didn’t answer immediately. He just looked at the screen where the convoy of armored trucks was moving toward the city.Leo’s voice came through the earpiece.“They’ll reach downtown in about forty minutes.”Marcus smiled faintly.“Perfect timing.”Inside the penthouse Daniel paced back and forth.“So let me get this straight…”He pointed at the laptop.“There are thirty bombs around the city.”Leo nodded.“And a private army coming.”Leo nodded again.Daniel sighed.“And we have less than an hour.”Vanessa leaned against the wall, watching the map.“You forgot the most important part.”Daniel looked at her.“What?”She pointed toward the screen where Marcus stood beside the servers.“He’s not bluffing.”Inside the vault Marcus watched Sebastian carefully.“You always believed control came from money.”Sebastian finally spoke.“No.”Marcus tilted his head.“Then what?”Sebastian answered calmly.“Discipline.”
