My Husband Chose His Ex When I Was pregnant Chapter 72
Elena’s POVMidnight had long passed over the coastal estate, but sleep was an impossible luxury.The rain outside had evolved into a steady, torrential downpour, beating relentless rhythms against the floor-to-ceiling glass walls of Alistair Vance’s private archival study. I sat behind the massive mahogany desk, illuminated only by the warm glow of a single brass banker's lamp.Spread out across the polished wood were three decades of encrypted financial ledgers, international wire receipts, and microfilmed banking records from Zurich, London, and the Cayman Islands.Damien’s terrified warnings from the federal detention center echoed in my mind with every turn of a page: “They are an ancient, shadow syndicate that controls central private banks, defense contracts, and shipping corridors... leave the old Cole ledgers alone.”I reached for an archived financial report dated October 14, 1998—the exact month Arthur Cole’s silent partner in The Aegis Group had mysteriously drowned in the

Elena’s POVI sat on a metal stool on the visitor's side, wearing a black trench coat over my silk blouse. My posture was straight, my hands folded calmly on the stainless steel counter in front of me. Outside the heavy door, four elite Vance Global security guards stood watch alongside federal marshals.A heavy magnetic lock buzzed, and the steel door on the opposite side of the glass swung open.Damien stepped into the room.He wore a plain grey prison jumpsuit that hung loose on his broad frame. His dark hair was cut short, his jaw unwashed, and his eyes carried dark, sunken shadows from sleepless nights on a thin canvas cot. But as he looked up and caught my reflection through the glass, there was no panic in his expression. No anger. No desperate begging.Instead, a quiet, surreal stillness rested over him—a stark contrast to the volatile, arrogant billionaire who used to throw whiskey glasses across his study.He pulled out the metal stool opposite me and sat down slowly. He did

Elena’s POVThe air inside the thirty-fifth-floor executive conference room of Vance Global was heavy with a cold, simmering hostility. Outside the panoramic glass windows, a light afternoon rain glazed over the city skyline, but inside, every eye around the polished granite table was fixed directly on me."The acquisition of Cole Enterprises' remaining European assets was supposed to stabilize our foreign portfolio, Miss Vance," Julian Vance—Alistair’s thirty-four-year-old nephew—announced, leaning forward and resting his elbows on the granite surface. "Instead, your aggressive, emotional tactics have drawn unprecedented scrutiny from regulatory agencies in Zurich and London."I sat at the head of the secondary table, wearing an immaculate white silk blouse and a sharp black tailored blazer. My hands rested loosely over a thick leather binder. I didn't interrupt him. I didn't fidget. I simply watched Julian's face with a quiet, unyielding calm."Let us be honest with one another," Ju

Damien’s POVThe air inside Metropolitan Federal Detention Center was cold, damp, and smelled strongly of industrial bleach and rust. For forty-eight hours, I had sat on the narrow iron bunk of a six-by-eight concrete cell, staring at the small high window near the ceiling.My tailored Italian suits were gone, replaced by a rough, oversized grey jumpsuit. The custom leather dress shoes were gone, replaced by thin slip-ons. My wrists bore faint red marks from the steel handcuffs the federal marshals had clamped on me when I turned myself in at nine o'clock yesterday morning.Yet, for the first time in my life, the suffocating pressure in my chest was absent. The relentless noise of market reports, stock fluctuations, and board arguments had gone completely silent. In this dark, sterile box, I finally had to answer to no one except the memory of the woman I had broken.The heavy magnetic lock on the cell door buzzed loudly, and the heavy steel door slid open with a metallic screech."Co

Elena’s POVThe heavy mahogany doors closed behind me with a firm, echoing click, locking out the quiet hum of the federal marshals in the hallway.Margaret stood in the center of the vast, dusty drawing room, her hands shaking violently as she clutched a heavy velvet jewelry box to her chest. Her eyes were bloodshot, surrounded by dark, sunken shadows, and her expensive velvet robe was streaked with dirt and grey dust from dragging old trunks out of the attic."Get out of my house," Margaret spat, her voice trembling with an volatile mix of outrage and pure terror. "You have no legal authority to stand on these floors! This estate is protected under the Cole family trust! My attorneys will have you arrested for trespassing before the afternoon is over!""Your family trust was dissolved at eight o'clock this morning by executive order of the federal bankruptcy court, Margaret," I said smoothly, taking three deliberate steps forward. My heels clicked against the polished parquet floor

Elena’s POVThe news cycle was relentless.By six o'clock on Friday morning, every major financial network, global print outlet, and social media feed was running the exact same front-page headline in bold, black lettering: THE FALL OF COLE ENTERPRISE.Images of Damien’s signed confession, leaked from the federal prosecutor’s office, flashed across the wall-mounted monitors in the private war room of Alistair Vance’s coastal estate. Analysts discussed the immediate collapse of the market, the emergency receivership seizing Cole Tower, and the shocking downfall of the thirty-two-year-old multi-billionaire who had once ruled the city with an iron fist.I sat at the long teak conference table, wearing a crisp tailored grey suit, holding a hot cup of black tea in my hands. I watched the television screens in total silence. My pulse didn't race, and my chest didn't tighten. The girl who had wept in the dark servant room, terrified of Damien's shadow, was dead and buried."You did it, Elena
