AFTER MY DIVORCE, SIX BILLIONAIRES CLAIM ME 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

The Grand Regent Ballroom glittered like a palace carved from light.Crystal chandeliers dripped from the ceiling in elegant tiers, scattering warm golden reflections across the marble floor. Waiters in white gloves moved gracefully through clusters of the city’s wealthiest people, balancing trays of champagne flutes while a soft orchestra played near the far wall.It was the most prestigious business gala of the year.Politicians. Investors. Media personalities. Billionaires.Every powerful name in the city had gathered beneath that ceiling.And at the center of it all stood Victor Hale.Tall, composed, devastatingly handsome in his perfectly tailored tuxedo, Victor radiated the quiet authority of a man who had never once doubted his place at the top of the world. As the CEO of Hale Industries, he was the youngest billionaire in the region and the undisputed king of the city’s business empire.People gravitated toward him naturally.Respect followed him like a shadow.Across the room

Aurora Hale stood in the center of Adrian Cross’s entrance hall and felt as though she had stepped into another world.The mansion itself was enormous, far larger than anything she had ever imagined someone actually living in. The ceilings stretched high above her head, supported by polished marble pillars that gleamed softly under the golden chandelier lights.Everything about the place was quiet.Not the kind of quiet that comes from emptiness.But the kind that comes from control.From power.Her heels clicked softly against the polished floor as she slowly turned in a circle, absorbing the space around her.Just a few hours ago she had been standing in a ballroom filled with hundreds of people, smiling guests, glittering gowns, and expensive champagne.Her ex-husband had stood across from her.Victor Hale.One of the city’s most respected businessmen.After five years of a marriage of convenience together, he had handed her divorce papers.In front of everyone.Aurora exhaled slow

For several long seconds after Victor Kane’s words, no one in the room spoke.Aurora stood in the center of Adrian Cross’s vast entrance hall, surrounded by six men whose combined influence could move markets, governments, and industries across the world.Yet the silence that followed was not the silence of hesitation.It was the silence of gravity.Victor Kane had spoken calmly, almost casually, but the sentence still echoed through Aurora’s mind.Ten years ago, you became the most valuable woman in the world.Aurora blinked slowly.Then she let out a short laugh.“I’m sorry,” she said, shaking her head. “I must have misheard you.”Victor Kane did not smile.“I don’t believe you did.”Aurora crossed her arms.“That statement is ridiculous.”Lucien Vale leaned against the marble pillar again, watching her carefully.“Is it?”Aurora turned toward him.“Yes.”Marcus Kane spoke next, his deep voice steady.“Ten years ago something happened that changed the balance of power in ways most p

Aurora awoke before dawn, the sky still a deep, bruised blue. The events of the previous night clung to her mind like a storm cloud, her father’s secrets, the six billionaires, the constant threat she could no longer ignore.She rose quietly, the mansion unusually still. Even the servants were cautious, whispers of fear lingering in their movements. Every sound seemed amplified: the soft hum of the security system, the faint rustle of leaves outside, the distant hum of the city lights.Her tablet lay on the desk, still open to her father’s encrypted files. Aurora’s fingers hovered above it. This was the moment, the first real test of her understanding.“Morning already?” Adrian’s voice was calm, almost gentle, but carried an authority she had learned to trust. He appeared in the doorway, impeccably dressed, as always. “You didn’t sleep much.”“I didn’t think I could,” she admitted, rubbing her eyes. “There’s too much. I don’t know where to start.”“You start at the beginning,” Adrian

The storm rolled in just after midnight.Aurora stood near the massive floor-to-ceiling windows of the west wing, watching lightning fracture the sky above the estate. The rain had started slowly, a whisper across the marble terraces, but now it hammered the grounds with relentless force.The estate had never felt this tense.Every corridor carried the quiet awareness that someone had been watching them.Watching her.Aurora wrapped her arms lightly around herself, not from the cold, but from the growing realization that the world she had stepped into was far larger than she had imagined.Six billionaires.A hidden empire her father had left behind.And now a rival powerful enough to track them.Behind her, Adrian stepped into the room.He moved with the same composed confidence Aurora had come to recognize in him. Calm. Measured. Always several moves ahead.“You’re thinking too loudly,” he said softly.Aurora turned.“Is that supposed to be reassuring?”Adrian smiled faintly.“It mea
