I Took Revenge On My Cheating Ex and Best friend
Chapter 24 The unraveling
Liam Carter was a man who thrived on control.
Control over his business. Control over his image. Control over his relationships.
But lately?
Everything was spiraling out of his hands.
His company had barely escaped the audit. His name was being whispered in circles where it once commanded

“You’re just going to sit there?” she snapped, her tone sharp enough to cut. “Ariana is tearing my life apart, and Mo you don’t even care!”
Liam took a slow sip of his drink, unmoved. “You made your bed, Sienna.”
Her eyes flashed with fury. “Are you serious right now? Do you even hear yourself?”
Liam exhaled, his patience thinning. “You want to know what I hear?” He set his glass down, standing slowly.

Sienna’s breath hitched.
Because for the first time, Liam saw her for exactly what she was.
And the realization?
It burned.
She had spent years convincing herself she was better than Ariana.

No.
She refused to accept that.
“We’re in this together,” Sienna said, stepping closer, her voice softening. “You think she’s going to stop at me?
She wants to destroy you too.”
Liam’s jaw clenched.
Because a small part of him knew–she was right.
Ariana wasn’t just playing a game.
She was waging a war.
And right now?

Across the city, Ariana Cole sat in her penthouse, a glass of wine in hand, her legs curled under her as she scrolled through her messages.
Ariana bit her lip, her stomach fluttering.
It had only been a few days since their night together, but she could still feel him–his touch, his voice, the way

She typed back.
Ariana: Just watching my enemies burn. You?

Ariana smirked, shaking her head.

Mila’s voice was sharp. Urgent.
“You’re not going to believe this,” she said. “I found something big.”
Ariana’s fingers tightened around her phone.
“Go on,” she murmured, leaning forward.
Mila took a deep breath.
“Liam’s company is sinking faster than we thought.”

Ariana stilled.
Oh?
Mila continued, her tone charged with excitement.
“His stock is dropping. Investors are getting nervous. Some are even considering pulling out. If this keeps up,
Liam Carter won’t just be socially ruined–he’ll be financially ruined too.”
Ariana smirked, her heart pounding.
Everything was falling into place.
She had expected to destroy Liam slowly–to let him crumble piece by piece.
