All Chapters of The Disabled Ex-Wife's Revenge: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

CLARA’s POV I sat on the soft sofa in my big apartment, looking at my phone on the glass table. It had been quiet for hours. Too quiet. I picked up my phone, unlocked the screen, and checked my messages again. There was nothing from Julian. No text, no missed call, nothing. I threw the phone on the sofa and leaned back with a loud groan. "Why is he not calling me back?" I said to myself, walking around the room. Ever since that bad scene at the airport, my whole plan had started to fall apart. I was supposed to be on that flight with him. I was supposed to stand next to him in London, go to all the big business events, and show everyone that I am the woman who belongs with Julian Vance. Instead, Julian left me at the airport like I was nothing. The memory of the airport still made me angry. I had tried to look weak and helpless. I called him crying, pretending to have a panic at

CLARA’s POV Before I could say another sentence to the reporter, Vanessa snatched the phone straight out of my hand. “Hey! What are you doing? Give that back to me!” I screamed, reaching out to grab it. Vanessa stepped back quickly, tapped the screen to end the call, and completely powered off my secondary phone. She tossed it onto the soft sofa cushions far out of my reach. “Have you completely lost your mind, Clara?” Vanessa yelled, her eyes wide with total shock. “Are you crazy? You were literally about to hand over private scandal details to Mark! Do you have any idea what would happen if that call was ever traced back to you?” “I don't care!” I shouted back, my voice breaking with sheer rage. My chest was heaving up and down, and my hands were trembling violently. “I want Nora ruined! I want every newspaper in this city and London to print her name on the front page! I want ever

NORA’s POV The heavy wooden doors of the briefing room closed behind us, blocking out the loud whispers of the executives in the main hall. I took a slow, deep breath, pressing my hand against my chest to calm my racing heart. Julian’s angry face was still vivid in my mind. Seeing him stand in that lobby, yelling at me and acting like I was still his property, had shaken me more than I wanted to admit. But I refused to let him break my focus. “Are you alright, Nora?” Marcus asked, turning to me with a calm, gentle expression. His deep voice instantly brought me back to reality. “I'm fine, Marcus,” I said, giving him a small, reassuring smile. “Thank you for stepping in back there. I didn't expect Julian to make such a scene.” “He won't bother you during the presentation,” Marcus said smoothly, adjusting his jacket. “My security team is monitoring the corridors. Focus entirely on your desi

NORA’s POV I stood in front of the full-length mirror inside the luxury clothing shop on the ground floor, staring at my reflection in complete disbelief. How on earth did I end up here? Just thirty minutes ago, I told Maya that her idea was stupid. I told her I was a serious career woman who did not need to dress up in fancy clothes just to make a point or attract any man. I was so sure of myself. I was so firm. And yet, the moment Maya stepped out to use the restroom, my feet somehow walked me right into the store. I looked down at the dress in my hands. It was a beautiful burgundy dress with a soft neckline and a cut that would fit my waist perfectly. It was simple, elegant, but definitely very attractive. It was nothing like the loose, dull suits I usually wore to work. I held the dress against my body, turning to the left, then turning to the right. “Does this color make my skin glow?” I whispered to mys

“If you smirk one more time, Maya, I am going to swap your sugar with salt when we get home,” I warned under my breath as we walked into the grand hall. Maya covered her mouth, trying her absolute best to stop her shoulders from shaking with laughter.“I can't help it! Every time I look at you, I just picture you holding that burgundy dress in front of the mirror asking yourself if your skin was glowing!” “I was checking the color, not my glow!” I hissed back, my cheeks flushing warm all over again. “Keep your voice down before Marcus hears you!” “Hear what?” Marcus’s smooth, deep voice spoke from right beside us. I nearly jumped out of my skin. I spun around quickly, clutching my portfolio folder tightly against my chest. Marcus was standing there in his dark suit, holding a sleek pen and looking down at both of us with a calm, amused expression. “Nora was just saying how excited she is for the signing ceremony, Mr. Hayes!” Maya lied instantly with a bright, innocent smile, giv
