All Chapters of Replacing my Ex: The Matriarch’s Revenge: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"Are you entirely out of your mind, Evelyn?" Theodore’s deep voice echoed sharply against the glass walls of the private jet as it soared high above the Swiss Alps, heading back toward Valerius Island.I crossed my legs calmly, sipping a cup of hot green tea while looking at him with a slight, mocking smile. "Good morning to you too, Theodore. And thank you for the dramatic entrance in Zurich. You missed your calling as a Hollywood action hero."Theodore slammed his hands onto the small mahogany table between our seats, his grey eyes flashing with a dangerous mix of anger and worry. "This isn't a game, Evelyn! Elena Vance is not some petty criminal you can lock up and forget about. She spent thirty years building an underground network that spans four continents. The moment she reaches a federal courtroom, her corrupt judges will release her on a technicality!"I set my tea cup down slowly, the porcelain making a soft click against the table. I reached into my coat pocket and pulled o

"Director Arthur Vance is locked in the most secure federal holding facility in the North Atlantic," Cassian announced, walking into the grand war room of Valerius Island and placing a thick digital file on the mahogany table.I stood by the window, watching the morning waves crash against the stone cliffs below. The sun was shining brightly, casting a warm golden glow across the ocean, but my mind was far from peaceful. Capturing Arthur and locking him away felt like a massive victory, yet a strange, cold feeling lingered in the back of my chest."And what about his legal team?" I asked without turning around, my fingers tracing the cold glass of the windowpane."They are trying every trick in the book, My Lady," Cassian replied, adjusting his collar. "They claim Arthur is too old and frail to stand trial, demanding house arrest in Switzerland. But our legal alliance with international regulators is holding firm. His assets are completely frozen, and his board members are scattering

The morning sea breeze carried a sharp, salty chill across the stone battlements of Valerius Island. Inside the grand archive hall, the heavy oak doors were closed tight, keeping out the rising wind. I stood by the central console, watching the data monitors scroll through endless lines of financial security logs. Christopher Vance was safely behind bars, joining Arthur and Elena in maximum-security isolation. The grand syndicate that had terrorized my family for decades was finally dismantled, piece by bloody piece.Master Cassian walked across the room, carrying a silver tray with a steaming cup of coffee and a secure satellite phone. His face was pale, and his steps carried an unusual stiffness that immediately set my nerves on edge."My Lady," Cassian said quietly, placing the tray down on the desk. "The international authorities have confirmed that all three facilities are fully secured. However, our deep-sea monitoring systems just flagged an anomaly originating from the hidden t

Chapter 18The morning sun rose higher over Valerius Island, painting the sky in brilliant shades of gold and soft pink. The storm from the night before was completely gone, leaving behind a calm, peaceful ocean that sparkled like diamonds. Inside the grand penthouse suite of the main estate, I stood by the balcony doors, sipping a warm cup of black coffee while looking out over the manicured gardens.Julian Sterling was locked away in a high-security transport vessel heading toward the mainland tribunal. The syndicate was broken, its leaders imprisoned, and Titan Group was finally safe under my direct control. For the first time in my life, the heavy weight on my shoulders felt a little bit lighter.The heavy oak door of the suite swung open softly, and Theodore walked in. He had changed out of his wet tactical gear into a crisp white linen shirt and dark trousers. His dark hair was slightly damp from a morning shower, and a soft, easy smile played across his handsome face."You're u

Chapter 20The morning wind whistled through the ruined stone pillars of the old estate courtyard, carrying the scent of burnt ash and damp earth. My heart hammered wildly against my ribs, but my face remained completely expressionless. I looked down at Cassian, who was tied tightly to a wooden chair, a dark bruise forming along his jawline. Despite his fear, his eyes met mine with quiet determination, silently telling me not to surrender.Elena Vance stood a few paces away, a triumphant smirk playing across her aristocratic lips. She held a sleek silver remote control in her hand, her thumb resting casually right over the pulsing red activation button."Well, Evelyn?" Elena asked, her voice dripping with mocking amusement. "What is it going to be? Do you save your loyal assistant, or do you cling to your precious little silver keys like a stubborn child? Remember, every second you waste brings the heavy drill closer to the main chamber of the Genesis Vault. If the drill breaks the se
