Ex Wife's Collapse After Divorce novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100

Aurora’s breath caught. “What?”

Bianca stopped pacing. “Marcus saw the belt. He recognized it immediately. That wasn’t some rumor. It was real.” She dragged a hand through her hair, still feeling heat in her face when she remembered last night. “Aurora, why the hell didn’t you tell me sooner?”

Aurora sounded honestly stunned. “I didn’t know he could fight like that either.”

“That’s not the point.” Bianca bit out each word. “Do you know what I did to him at Hot Springs Manor? I touched him. I teased him. I practically threw myself at him.” She shut her eyes. “God. I really acted like an idiot.”

Aurora went silent again.

Bianca didn’t stop. She needed to get it out. She told Aurora everything from the bar. Marcus kneeling. The men kneeling after him. Rocco confessing. Ethan standing there like the whole room belonged to him. Calm. Cold. Untouchable.

When she finished, she let out a long breath. “I still can’t believe it.”

Aurora clicked her tongue softly. “And here I thought I was protecting you.”

Bianca narrowed her eyes. “Protecting me?”

Aurora’s tone turned teasing. “If I’d told you from the start, would you still have dared to touch his abs?”

Bianca choked. “Aurora Sinclair!”

Aurora laughed, low and brief.

Bianca covered her burning face with one hand, even though Aurora couldn’t see her. “You’re shameless.

“And you’re dramatic.”

“You should’ve warned me.”

“You still survived, didn’t you?”

Bianca let out a frustrated breath. “Barely.”

Aurora’s laughter faded. “Did he say anything else?”

“He told Marcus and me to keep quiet about the bar and his identity.” Bianca paused. “I promised.”

“So did you just break that promise with me?”

Bianca stiffened. “You’re not ‘someone.””

Her assistant stepped in almost immediately. “Ms. Sinclair.”

“Cut every remaining cooperation project with Lockwood Industries.” Aurora’s voice was crisp. “Not just freeze them. Terminate them.”

Mia blinked. “Immediately?”

“Immediately.” Aurora grabbed the tablet on her desk and tossed it onto the table. “And that’s not all.

Pressure them.”

Mia’s expression changed. “In what direction?”

Aurora looked up, eyes sharp as ice. “Supply chain. Pending channels. Their financing contacts. Any joint resources where Stellaris has leverage. I want Lockwood Industries to feel it.”

Mia hesitated for half a second. She had no idea how a company like Lockwood had managed to anger Aurora this badly. Their CEO wasn’t even worth a direct mention in most internal strategy meetings.

Still, she nodded at once. “Understood.”

Aurora’s voice dropped lower. “Give their CEO a lesson. A real one.”

“Yes, Ms. Sinclair.”
