My Ex Begged For Me After My Tech Empire Reveal Novels & Stories

“I don’t want you to disappear. I love you. That’s the part that terrifies me most. I finally have someone who sees the real me the lonely woman behind the CEO title -and now I have to choose between you and everything else.” He wrapped his arms around me. We stood there naked and holding each other while the city lights sparkled outside the windows. “Then don’t choose,” he said quietly. “Fight with me. I have evidence against my old company. Years of records. If we go public first, expose their blackmail and their theft, we might turn this around.”

He took Kathy's arm, pledging his loyalty. "Kathy, don't worry. I'll be on my best behavior. I absolutely won't embarrass you at an event like that." I had zero interest in their third-rate soap opera. I shook her hand off and walked away, leaving them with one last sentence. "I hope you're all still smiling in three days." Stepping out of the airport terminal and breathing in the cool, fresh air, my mood finally began to lift. Five years ago, facing an arranged business marriage forced upon me by my family, I made one last desperate attempt.

I liked it better that way. Tabitha went still, her pen paused in midair, mouth slightly open. She’d come in hoping for juicy personal drama and stumbled into the seismic kind. It’s wild how one line can completely shift the mood in a room. “You own part of your ex-husband’s company?” she asked, stunned. “No.” I held her gaze. “I own a controlling stake in an undervalued asset. That’s all. My marriage isn’t part of the equation.” I let the quiet hang there. “Just business.”

Last night's Elder's Ball. What had happened there. The warrant… My father and Catalina... The crest. My hand clenched under the blanket, and pain shot through my palm. I could still see myself hitting her, the blood, how everything had spiraled out of control. My head began to ache. I reached for the water glass beside my bed, but my phone kept lighting up over and over. "What now?" I picked it up, checked the notification, and saw the first headline stopped me cold. APEX TECHNOLOGY FACES COLLAPSE AFTER SHOCKING REVELATIONS. My heart sank. "What?"

Before he could tell her to leave, she said, "Did you ask me that day what I was doing in this office?" Her question made him frown. "I did not want to leave my previous job. Do you know why I left there?" She turned to look at his confused expression and said, "The news about my divorce spread, and I became a joke overnight. I was so overwhelmed by the thought of starting a family with you that I did not realize how people were talking behind my back. They thought you were too good for me and I did not deserve a man like you. I still would have stayed strong, but then their teasing turned fierce as some men said I was not good in bed, some women said I can not even keep my husband happy

Two days ago, Allen Enterprise Rayan stood confidently by the opulent office window, his sharp features complemented by the soft glow of city lights. The tendrils of smoke from his cigarette danced in the air as he waited with an air of anticipation after checking the expensive wrist watch. There were still a few minutes left. From the moment Nathan sent him the picture of her, his whole mind had been wrecked with thoughts related to her. He didn’t expect to receive a sudden blast from the past. Five years after their tumultuous divorce, his ex-wife suddenly appeared back in the city. The shock is palpable, and emotions are resurfacing as he contemplates the unexpected reunion after her myst

“I’m here for you.” “You don’t need me anymore.” I almost couldn’t hear myself over the thunderous roar of my pulse. I regretted the falafel sandwich I ate for lunch, which threatened to make a messy reappearance. “You got your revenge on your blackmailing ex. Your company is doing very good. I have no interest in being lied to and then pushed away like some back and forth game. So leave. Me. Alone.”

I asked calmly. She shook her head. “I can tell you’re wealthy. But Dexmond…” Her voice shook, and she swallowed. She turned to face me. “I appreciate you trying to help, but I won’t be able to forgive myself if you get hurt because of me.” “He just got signed with the T & T conglomerate, yes?” I ignored her plea. She nodded. “It’s time your Ex-husband learns some manners.” I smirked. I started the car, and zoomed off with one destination in mind- my penthouse.

And then—another photo, this one taken from a distance, of him exiting her apartment later in the evening, wearing an entirely different outfit. The final blow came in the form of a caption: “An anonymous journalist posts a clearer picture of the man with Natasha. It is none other than billionaire CEO of SNS Inc., Noah Sylvester.” The room began to spin around me as I processed the words. Tears welled up in my eyes before I could stop them. My hand shook uncontrollably, and the phone slipped from my fingers, falling with a soft thud onto the floor again. Jamie stood frozen, not sure whether to comfort me or stay out of the way.

Nathan said now, thrusting the bouquet of red roses in my hands. I hated red roses but I took them from Nathan still and I pouted, “No I flunked the deal.” Nathan paused, “Oh dear, what happened?” “Well the CEO walked in who turns out to be my ex boyfriend and I froze and couldn’t speak anymore, and yes I had a sex dream about him last night which I wanted to continue with you but you’re so in love with your job so yes that’s that.”
