Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 166: Something Old and Dangerous
Petra lay on her side, staring at the faint outline of the curtains as moonlight slipped through the narrow gap between them. The room was quiet in the way only night could manage, too quiet, as if the walls themselves were listening for something. Every time she closed her eyes, Zoe's voice crept back in, low and rasping.'You think this is over?'Petra shifted, drawing the blanket tighter around her shoulders. She had faced threats before. She had survived betrayal, sickness, humiliation, abandonment. Yet this felt different somehow.Zoe's words had not carried the desperation of someone begging for relevance. They had carried certainty instead.Beside her, Oscar stirred in the darkness.He hadn't been fully asleep either. He had felt the tension in her body the moment she slipped into bed, the way her breathing never quite settled beside him. He turned toward her, sliding an arm around her waist, pulling her gently closer until her back rested against his chest."You're not slee
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 165: You Think This Is Over?
The room smelled faintly of medication and flowers that had begun to wilt despite daily care from the staff. Sunlight filtered weakly through half-drawn blinds, casting pale lines across the bed where Zoe lay motionless.She looked smaller than Petra remembered, almost shrunken into the white sheets, her skin drawn tight over her cheekbones, lips cracked and dry from illness. Tubes traced quiet paths around her body, machines humming softly like restrained breaths beside her.This was not the woman who once walked into rooms with her chin lifted, voice sharp with entitlement. This was not the woman who wore confidence like armor and cruelty like perfume.When the door opened, Zoe's eyes shifted slowly toward the sound. Recognition flickered, followed by something like amusement crossing her face. A weak laugh escaped her throat, rough and broken."So…" she rasped, voice thin as paper. "You came."Petra closed the door behind her gently. She stood just inside the room for a moment,
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 164: A Storm Waiting to Break
The news arrived quietly, almost respectfully, as though even the media understood that noise would be inappropriate this time around. Zoe Fox had been transferred to hospice care early that morning.No dramatic headlines. No flashing banners. Just carefully chosen words layered with implication beneath the surface.Petra saw it while standing in her bedroom, sunlight filtering through the tall curtains at Chapman Manor.Her tablet rested loosely in her hand as the headline scrolled past once, then again. Hospice care. End-stage management. Comfort-focused treatment.She read it twice, not because she didn't understand, but because part of her expected something else to appear on the screen.A correction. A reversal. A miracle even.But nothing changed on the page.Her thumb locked the screen, and she placed the tablet gently on the dresser, as if sudden movement might disturb something fragile inside her. Her face remained composed, but her chest felt tight, not with panic, not wit
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 163: Prepare Yourself
Pete stood in the middle of the living room, unmoving, as the front door of the Jordan mansion closed behind him with a hollow thud. The sound lingered longer than it should have, echoing through the vast space like an accusation aimed directly at him.The house no longer smelled lived-in. No perfume. No laughter. No arguments. Just the sterile scent of polished marble and abandoned luxury surrounding him.The chandelier above him glowed softly, but the light felt cold. Every step he took echoed too loudly, reminding him of how empty the mansion had become without her presence.The walls, once filled with voices and plans and bitterness, now felt like silent witnesses to his downfall and everything he'd lost.He loosened his tie and tossed it onto the couch. It landed without resistance, sinking into cushions that had not been used in days.His phone buzzed once in his hand, a notification from a bank app he no longer bothered to open. He already knew what it would say. Frozen. Res
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 162: Welcome Home
The iron gates of Chapman Manor slid open with a low, familiar hum as Petra's car pulled into the driveway. The mansion stood bathed in warm evening light, its cream-colored walls glowing softly against the darkening sky above.Tall trees lined the path, their leaves whispering gently in the breeze, as though the estate itself was welcoming her home after everything she'd endured.She stepped out of the car slowly, heels touching the stone driveway, and paused for a brief moment to breathe it all in.The air smelled different here; cleaner, steadier. Safe. A far cry from the sharp tension of public scrutiny, hospital corridors, and whispered threats that had followed her everywhere.Inside, the house was calm. The familiar rhythm of the grandfather clock echoed softly through the hallway.A housekeeper greeted her with a respectful smile, eyes shining with something close to pride. Petra returned the smile, then made her way into the dining room where dinner had already been laid out
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 161: Nothing Left to Say
Even in the deepest hours of the afternoon, when visiting hours thinned and footsteps outside softened, machines continued their quiet vigilance without pause.A steady beep echoed through the room, slow and uneven, rising and falling like a fragile reminder that life was still clinging on, barely holding together.Zoe lay in the narrow hospital bed, her body sunk into white sheets that looked far too clean for the chaos raging inside her. Her skin had lost its glow completely, turning ashen, almost translucent under the harsh lighting.A faint line of dried blood lingered beneath one nostril, stubborn despite the nurse's earlier efforts to clean it away.Every breath she took seemed to demand effort, her chest lifting shallowly, as though her lungs had grown tired of their duty entirely.Beside her, Mrs. Fox refused to move from her spot.She sat in the same chair she had occupied since morning, her back bent, her fingers tightly wrapped around Zoe's cold hand in hers.Her lips move
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 4: "Let's Get a Divorce"
“There, there,” Petra murmured softly, her voice warm and calm. “Mommy is here.”The baby made a small sound and kicked his tiny legs against the blanket.Petra lay on the hospital bed, her back slightly propped up with pillows.Her face still looked pale, but there was a soft smile resting on her
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 3: Breaking Point
“It’s… it’s alright.”Zoe’s reaction changed so quickly it almost looked rehearsed. Just seconds ago she had flinched at the glass shattering near Pete’s feet, but now her face softened into something that looked like concern.She stepped closer to Pete, her fingers reaching for his hand as though
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 2: The Hundredth Mark
Martins and Eric flinched at the same time, their bodies jerking backward as if someone had just fired a gun in the room.For a second, nobody moved.The dirty diaper had landed squarely on Zoe’s face. Brown stains smeared across her cheek and nose, sliding slowly downward.Her eyes widened in disb
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 1: Betrayal
Petra caught another woman carelessly flirting with her own husband right in front of her eyes, barely forty eight hours of her postpartum recovery.The baby’s cry pierced through the house again, thin but stubborn, like a tiny alarm that refused to be ignored.Petra stood in the kitchen, exhausted
