Semua Bab Don't fool me, Ex. I'll never marry you (again). : Bab 11 - Bab 20

"We’re here, Honey."​Mike’s low voice entered my ears, followed by the touch of his hands removing the black cloth tied over my eyes. As the cloth fell, I blinked several times. The warm light from the chandelier greeted me, but a chill instantly crept through my bones as I realized where I was standing.​I was inside Mike’s private studio.​In my past life, this place was a forbidden area. A sacred fortress where not a single person, including me, was allowed to set foot. Mike always kept this door locked tight, making it a room of mystery inhabited only by his ambitions. But now, he was bringing me here as if I were a special guest—or perhaps, prey finally entering the predator's den.​"Honey, you’re the first woman to ever set foot in here," Mike whispered possessively. He led me toward a large wooden table in the center of the room. There, something was covered by a white silk cloth that contrasted with the studio light.​With a slow and dramatic movement, Mike pulled the cloth a

"If I find out who's playing around with my signature scent, I'll make sure they never work in any industry ever again for the rest of their life." Mike said it right to my face, his breath smelling of bitter coffee and thick rage. I only blinked slowly, staring at my own reflection in his dark eyes, while inside my pocket, the bug seemed to throb, demanding to be planted immediately.​This room was the peak of Mike's power. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls displayed a haughty city skyline, the furniture dominated by wood. It was silent, except for the ticking of the wall clock that sounded like a time bomb's countdown.​Mike had just stepped out after receiving a call from one of his staff. I stood frozen in the middle of the room, not moving right away. I knew Mike was a man obsessed with security.​My eyes moved slowly, mapping every corner of the room. One. A small, hidden black dome camera covered the entrance area. Two. In the corner of the bookshelf, watching over the main desk. I

The morning sun slinked through the gaps between the towering skyscrapers. The fresh morning air still carried a hint of dew, as if providing a new breath of life for this city that never sleeps. I gazed at the Onyx Global Group building standing before me. This morning wasn't just the start of a new day, but the beginning of an execution I had meticulously laid out in my head. ​My footsteps echoed through the executive floor corridor, creating a rhythm that contrasted with the deathly silence around me. The white marble beneath my feet shone perfectly, reflecting the shadow of a woman who no longer carried fear in her eyes. Today, I am Bella Swan, and the Chief of Staff position is my first weapon to destroy Mike. ​A professional-looking woman, the HR representative, greeted me with a professional smile. She took me on a tour, showing me every corner of the executive floor, which felt like a labyrinth of glass and steel. ​"This is your desk, Ms. Bella. Right next to the CEO’s main

Lucy was smiling too sweetly today.I recognized that smile—the same one she had when she chose the most boring dress for me for her birthday party, then stood beside me like the sun next to a candle. The difference was, today wasn’t her party. Today was the meeting with the wedding planner for my wedding.And I had prepared a much more beautiful surprise for her.Initially, Mike was still cold toward Lucy. He was suspicious and reluctant to go. With the softest voice I could muster, I persuaded him. "Mike, let me and Lucy go. You need some rest, and I trust Lucy will help me choose the best, as usual."Mike finally agreed. He didn't know that I actually wanted to bring Lucy into the lion's den without him there as a mediator."Bella, I think this Rustic concept is perfect for you," Lucy said while handing over a catalog of pale-colored flowers. "These colors really represent your simple nature. It doesn't need to be too flashy, right?"In my first life, I would have nodded immediatel

Tonight, I will destroy two people at once, and I will do it while smiling sweetly in the bedroom alone. I don’t need to be there to see the blood that will be shed emotionally; I only need to wait for a signal from the only man who is as dangerous as the plan I have built.​I stared at my phone screen lying on the mattress, waiting for the promised signal. Before long, an anonymous incoming call appeared on the screen. As soon as I answered, Dominic’s heavy voice was heard—calm, yet carrying a thick aura of death.​"Access is open, Bella. You can see how your lion is tearing his prey apart now. Enjoy the show," Dominic said.​Dominic doesn’t play around with his reputation as a major player in the tech industry. In just a matter of minutes after Mike left the house, Dominic managed to give me access to the Smart Home security system in Lucy's apartment. The system Lucy had trusted all this time as her privacy shield had now been betrayed by Dominic's cold hands, which had hacked it l
