Goodbye Forever Ex-Husband (by Ammund) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174

OLIVIA’S POV

Was I really ready to go back to New York… all because of a car?

I stared at Clara, her face unreadable as usual, like she hadn’t just dropped a bomb on my lap. The moment she said “Rolls Royce Black Heart,” something shifted in me. I felt the old itch for power, dominance, prestige–that rare feeling of possessing something only a few in the entire world could

claim to have.

But this wasn’t just about a car.

It was about going back… to the city I had promised never to return to.

New York.

That name alone brought back a flood of memories I had locked in the deepest corners of my mind–most of which I never wanted to relive. That city nearly chewed me up and spat me out. If I hadn’t left when I did, I would’ve been six feet under by now, buried with all the secrets and the pain I carried.

Right now none of the cars I have compared to the Rolls–Royce Black Heart. Only five of them existed in the entire world. Five.

Then came his name, uninvited in my thoughts–Adrian.

That was the first time I had said his name in years, I had told myself that I was never going to speak his name ever again but today, I did

The man who nearly had me killed.

So much has changed since then. I wasn’t the same woman who fled that city in fear. I now had security, bodyguards trained to eliminate threats before they even reached me. I had status, power, wealth–everything I’d once dreamed of.

But even with all that, the fear still lingered.

What if he found out I was alive?

What if he came for me again?

And worse… What if he found out about Charlie?

My heart clenched at that thought.

Adrian didn’t know I had his child. And I planned to keep it that way for as long as I could. But going back to New York–even briefly–would risk everything. What if the media spotted me? What if someone from his camp caught wind of my arrival?

If he took me to court for Charlie, he had every legal right as the biological father. I could fight it… But I wasn’t sure I’d win. And if he didn’t go the legal route what if he tried to eliminate the one thing connecting us? Just like he tried to eliminate me?

No. I couldn’t let that happen. I couldn’t risk Charlie’s life for a damn car.

But then another thought crept in, one I’d buried long ago.

You told yourself you’d return to New York when you became powerful. That you’d rise to the top and come back not as a victim, but as the storm.

Hadn’t I done that?

I had taken Blake Enterprise to heights my father only dreamed of. Expanded across nations. Dominated boardrooms filled with men who once laughed at the idea of a woman in charge. I had arrived–and yet, the final piece of my story still waited in that city.

My fingers tightened into a fist.

Chapter 174

Westwood Industries has always been a rival to Blake Enterprise. Our fathers had been at odds for decades, and the silent war between the two companies never truly ended. In fact, it only intensified over time. That’s partly why my father never liked Adrian from the very start. Not just because of what he did to me, but because he was the future of a family that had always stood on the opposite side of the battlefield.

Now that I’m the Chairwoman of Blake Enterprise, and building a branch of our empire in New York, I have no choice but to face the facts. Eventually, Adrian and I would cross paths–not just as enemies with a personal history, but as two powerful figures fighting for dominance in the same territory.

Outsmarting Adrian wouldn’t just be a personal victory–it would be a corporate one. It would show the world that I was more than just the daughter of a business tycoon or a woman scorned. It would show them that I could win. That I could lead. That I was the storm.

And I couldn’t blame him. He watched me fall apart back then, and now that I’ve built myself back up, he wouldn’t want me anywhere near what broke
