The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 22

Ella’s mind buzzed with disbelief. Did he really just say he could find her another man, maybe even two?

He had made his choice.

No hesitation. He picked Jessa.

It felt like someone had shoved a knife deep into her chest and kept twisting, shredding everything inside until she could barely breathe.

Her lips trembled as she tried to speak. “David, I’m still your wife…”

David had already changed into a crisp black shirt and matching pants, every trace of their earlier chaos wiped away. He was back to that cold, untouchable version of himself. He held something out to her. “This is for you.”

Ella glanced down. It was a check with eight zeroes on it.

His cool voice sounded above her. “Ella, this is your divorce settlement. Let’s end this.”

He set the check on the sink, turned, and walked out without looking back.

He was going to Jessa.

Just like her mother had, all those years ago.

Ella’s eyes burned, rimmed with red as tears threatened to spill over. She was being left behind again.

She had tried so hard to hold on to her mom, to David, but they always gave their love to Jessa.

No matter what she did, she could never win.

Not long after, she heard a man talking to Marian outside. “Mr. David sent me. I’m here for Mrs. Harmon. Where is she?”

“In the bedroom,” Marian replied. “Come with me.”

Marian led him closer.

Ella felt the color drain from her face until she was ghostly pale. She never thought David would move this fast. The guy he’d found for her was already here.

Footsteps echoed from the hallway, stopping right outside her door.
