Ex - Wife's Sweet Revenge
Xavier Ford had fallen for a college student. He pressured Thea Gonzales into divorcing him: "Thea, she's not interested in my money; she just wants to be recognized as my partner, and I have to give her that."
From high school days through to marriage, Thea and Xavier had been together for seven years. She stood by him during his lowest point in life. But now, as his career flourished, he found himself drawn to the youthful allure of someone younger. He claimed that her presence reminded him of the struggles they endured when they could barely scrape by. He said she represented a part of his past he wished to leave behind—a stark contrast to the college student who admired him, sparking feelings of excitement and renewal. Eventually, he got what he wanted and divorced her, but soon came to regret it. ***
The day Thea and Xavier finalized their divorce at the county clerk's office was the first time she met Addilyn Freeman. Barely in her twenties, Addilyn radiated vibrancy and charm. Her joyful demeanor took Thea back to her own college days.

The next day, whispers filled the office about the size of the diamond on Addilyn Freeman's finger. Everywhere Thea Gonzales went, she felt the weight of curious stares following her.
Her close friend, Paislee Larson, pulled her into the break room, fuming, "Addilyn's got some nerve, doesn't she? You should've made sure Xavier Ford walked away with nothing, and taken over the company!"
Thea calmly brewed herself a cup of espresso and replied, "Xavier's no fool. He gave me the house, the car, the savings, and our daughter, Celine. That means he wanted to keep the company. How else would he support Addilyn?"
"But, Thea, you know what people are saying behind your back, right? They say you’re lingering around, refusing to be tossed aside, just to win him back."
Through the break room’s glass wall, Thea glanced at the office area. Those who'd been watching quickly pretended to be engrossed in their work.
"They're not entirely wrong," she thought aloud. "I’m not ready to just walk away."
"Why should I be the one who stood by Xavier through thick and thin, only for Addilyn to swoop in and reap the rewards? Why does her child get a father while my daughter ends up in a single-parent household?"
"But I don’t want that good-for-nothing man," Thea continued, her voice steady. "What I want is his company, the very thing he prides himself on."
For that, she was willing to do whatever it took.

I stood by the grand staircase of the Anderson estate, my fingers nervously tracing the outline of the pearl earrings Mathias had given me on our first anniversary. Tonight was my thirty-fifth birthday, and despite the lavish celebration arranged by the Anderson family, I couldn't shake the feeling of being a perpetual outsider in this world of old money and aristocratic connections. The crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow across the marble floors where New York's elite mingled, their laughter echoing against the high ceilings. I caught snippets of conversation about summer homes in the Hamptons and winter retreats in Aspen—reminders of a world I had married into but never truly belonged to. "There you are, darling," Eleanor Anderson, my mother-in-law, approached with her characteristic perfect posture. "The caterers need your approval on something or other. Something about the dessert presentation."
Her tone made it clear that she found it distasteful that I would concern myself with such matters. After ten years of marriage to her son, she still treated me like the merchant's daughter who had somehow tricked her way into their bloodline. "I'll check on it right away," I replied, keeping my voice steady and dignified. As I made my way through the crowd, I overheard Valerie Hughes, Mathias's cousin, speaking to a group of society women.

I stared at my reflection in the car window, barely recognizing the woman looking back at me. Three years of engagement to Ethan had slowly erased the confident environmental scientist I once was, replacing her with this anxious stranger who second-guessed her every move. "Are you coming?" Ethan's impatient voice cut through my thoughts. He stood several feet ahead, not bothering to wait for me, his attention already fixed on his phone. "Yes, sorry," I murmured, hurrying to catch up. The lakeside property came into view, a sprawling modern home overlooking the pristine waters of Lake Washington. Summer sunshine glinted off the surface, but I felt a chill despite the warmth of the day. I hadn't wanted to come to this gathering. These were Ethan's tech industry friends, people who looked through me rather than at me. But refusing would have triggered another of his cold silences, the kind that could stretch for days.
