The Boss Lady Is Back

Abandoned Ex-Wife: Now Untouchable

Tao Yaoyao

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.

CHAPTER 1:

Storm poured outside the bistro window, drops hustling each other to the edge. Emily Thompson tasted her dull espresso, her look fixed on a plan spread out on the table. It wasn't simply any diagram but what was on the horizon. Her future.

"Dreaming once more, Em?" Michael spurred, sliding into the seat chat her, water spilling from his coat. The little ring at the bistro entrance tinkled, hailing another confidence, yet Emily scarcely noticed.

"Continually." Emily researched, eyes glinting genuinely. "Mike, I have this thought for a piece of man-made information that could change how we live. It's not simply robotization; it's getting it."

Michael inclined in, his prior joke supplanted by certified interest. "Tell me."

Before she could dig further, a sharp voice interfered. "Emily Thompson? Right now drawing dreams?" Daniel grinned, remaining over their table, his scorn self-evident.

"Ever the fantasy smasher, aren't you, Daniel?" Emily's tone was crisp, their game plan of experiences clear in the charged air between them.

His laugh was mirthless. "A pragmatist. See you at the top... on the off chance that you whenever appear." With a last insulting look, he left.

Emily made sense of her espresso cup. "That man..."

Michael contacted her arm reassuringly. "Disregard him. Eventually, about this PC-based knowledge?"

Emily took a full breath. "Envision a piece of man-made information so unquestionable level it doesn't simply oversee information yet feels and advances as we do. A motorized understanding."

Michael's eyebrows shot up. "That is... strong. Additionally, dangerous."

"Risk is the encapsulation of progress." She countered.

Once more, the ring tinkled. Sarah, an editorialist with an addressing being persistently cautious, entered, her eyes filtering the bistro. Spotting Emily, she drew nearer. "Mind tolerating I join? I'm charmed about this always-developing start-up of yours."

Scarcely paralyzed, Emily motioned for her to sit. "Have you been tuning in prepared?"

Sarah scoffed. "It's called logical uncovering."

As the night wore on, Emily shared her fantasy, confronting both uncertainty and otherworldly events. Unbeknownst to them, the seeds of a tech upset were being planted.

Outside, as the tempest died down, Vanessa remained across the road, watching the triplet in the bistro. Her altruistic endeavors had never-ending been associated with moving past openings in the public eye. Could Emily's reasoning be the key? Reality would turn out over the long haul.

The portion wrapped up with the threesome going out all over, yet with an impression of a fresh start, of an excursion stacked with difficulties and doorways, and the obligation of a future that could reshape the universe.

The city's mindset was overpowered by tech beasts, their tall glass towers making long concealed regions over the streets. Emily's adolescent association consumed a seriously honest space — a two-room office on the fourteenth floor of a depleted construction.

Inside, the air murmured with energy. Leo was working perseveringly, his fingers moving over consoles, screens humming with strings of code. Near him, Elena depicted plans that breathed life into galactic parts — planets, stars, vast frameworks.

Emily stepped in, Michael and Sarah behind her. "Morning, bunch! Significant day today. The chief model test."
