The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 112

Mike’s eyes went wide. It all made sense now.

Ella had been the first to know he was out of prison. She never stopped waiting for him.

Everyone thought she would never speak about her past, that her reputation as a girl mattered most. And for a long time, it looked that way. She kept everything to herself. She didn’t tell Grandma Chelsea, she didn’t tell David. Whenever Mike asked for money, she gave it. When he knocked her out and kidnapped her, she let it happen. It looked like he had her right where he wanted.

But the truth was completely different.

She had been pretending all along.

Ella had worn a tiny recording device the entire time. Whether Mike demanded millions or tried to force himself on her in that cave, none of it had caught her off guard. She knew exactly what he would do.

She let him believe she was helpless, feeding his greed with her obedience. She led him step by step into the darkness, guiding him to his own downfall.

She set the perfect trap using herself as bait, and ten years later, she brought him down with her own hands.

With all those crimes stacked against him, he was facing either life behind bars or a death sentence.

None of it was an accident. It was all exactly as she planned.

Rachel realized the truth too, just like Mike. Back when Robert brought Mike into the Irvine family, Ella had been there outside, watching everything.

Rachel stared at Ella, completely shaken. Ella was nothing like the girl she used to be. Not the girl who ran after her mother’s car, crying and desperate not to be left behind. Not the girl who had called her mom in tears. Not the girl who wandered through the woods alone with no place to go.

Years had passed, and Ella had grown up. She stood tall and confident now, her eyes steady and sure.

Then Ella faced the cameras again. Her words came out strong and clear, each one ringing out with purpose. “I’ve never felt ashamed of my life. I don’t believe in punishing myself for the wrongs other people have done. So if you’ve ever been through what I have, if you’ve faced pain like this, please remember—you don’t have to be afraid. I know it’s not easy, but you have to be brave and stand up for yourself. No one else can save you. You have to save yourself.”

She really had saved herself.
