Three weeks of peace before we signed our divorce papers and ended a chapter that had broken me in ways I’ll never admit out loud.I thought I knew how those three weeks would end.

I thought the video was spam. Just another random notification on my birthday night.Then I pressed play… and watched my entire world detonate.My husband—Lorenzo Hale—Miami’s polished billionaire golden boy, the man who vowed to love me, protect me, cherish me… was in bed with another woman.And not just any woman.My cousin. My sister in everything but blood. The person I trusted most.Her voice. Their bodies tangled like I never existed... moreI thought the video was spam.

My sister in everything but blood. The person I trusted most.Her voice. Their bodies tangled like I never existed.My chest cracked open as the truth poured My marriage wasn’t dying. It had been dead for a long time—I was just the last to know.I collapsed that night. But I didn’t stay down.Because betrayal does something to a woman. It strips her spine raw… and then rebuilds her with iron.When Lorenzo walked back through our door days later, arrogant and dismissive—like the video was nothing more than a “misunderstanding”—I looked him in the eye and told him the words he never thought he’d “I’m divorcing you.”And that’s where my story should have ended. But Lorenzo doesn’t let go. Not of his money. Not of his public image. And certainly not of the wife he once controlled so easily.What he didn’t expect was that I’d stop trembling. That I’d stop begging. That I’d stop loving him.He didn’t expect the secrets I’d uncover. The lies he buried. The other women. The hidden accounts. The files labeled with initials that weren’t mine.He didn’t expect the army of women who stood behind me—my ride-or-die friends who turned my heartbreak into a battle plan.He didn’t expect the hacker who broke open his digital skeletons.He didn’t expect the new man who walked into my life—quietly, steadily, with the kind of heat that made me realize what real love might look like.And he certainly didn’t expect what I’d A woman he could no longer break. A woman who finally chose herself. A woman reborn from the ashes he lit.My name is Amelia Hale. I was his bride. I was his possession. His safety net. His good girl.Not anymore.Now? I’m the ex-wife the billionaire never thought he’d lose… and the one woman he’ll regret crossing for the rest of his life. less

In a world where one night can destroy everything… I made the mistake of believing a stranger’s kiss could be harmless.One night. One touch. One man whose dark eyes promised danger long before he ever spoke.I didn’t know his name. I didn’t know his world. I didn’t know that the man who set my body on fire would become the father of my child.Then the sabotage hit. My scholarship vanished. My future evaporated. My entire life collapsed under the weight of a sabotageI never saw coming.I survived... moreIn a world where one night can destroy everything… I made the mistake of believing a stranger’s kiss could be harmless.One night.

I didn’t know that the man who set my body on fire would become the father of my child.Then the sabotage hit. My scholarship vanished. My future evaporated. My entire life collapsed under the weight of a sabotageI never saw coming.I survived. I protected my baby. I built a tiny, quiet, fragile world where no billionaire could reach us.Or so I thought.Until the day the door opened… and the past walked in wearing a tailored suit.Lysander Vale. The billionaire heir. The ruthless CEO. The stranger from that unforgettable night.And when he sees my son— our son— everything explodes.His dark stare freezes. His breath stops. His world shatters.“He’s mine.”In an instant, I’m pulled into a war I never asked for— A war against the woman who ruined my life, silenced my voice, and erased my future.A woman who now whispers orders like “Take the child if you have to.”She wants my son. She wants control. She wants to bury me all over again.But this time?This time I am not alone.Because Lysander—my enemy… my regret… my dangerously irresistible second chance— is done losing what’s his.He’s ready to burn empires. Destroy legacies. Bring the world to its knees—just to protect us.And when he touches me now, it’s not reckless. It’s reverent. Earned. Devastating.“I’m not asking for forgiveness,” he whispers. “I’m asking for a chance to earn you.”As a father. As a partner. As the man who refuses to walk away ever again.This isn’t just a romance. It’s a reckoning. A war. A love story forged in fire, betrayal, and fate.And when the credits roll — when the dust settles — when our son sleeps between us in the soft glow of a future no one can steal anymore…I finally whisper the truth I never believed I’d “I never thought we’d be a family.”Lysander pulls me close, voice low, certain, unbreakable.“We always were. You just didn’t have to do it alone anymore.” less

Legacy. Power. Control.Those were the only things that mattered…until the day my grandfather’s will detonated everything I’d built.To keep Arden Industries I must honor a decades-old marriage contract.A contract binding me to Aurelia Wynn Harridan, the quiet bookstore girl with ink on her fingers and fire in her spine.A woman I’ve never met.A woman I do not want.A woman who could ruin me.But if I refuse, my sadistic cousin Lysander gets everything.My company. My legacy. My life’s work... moreLegacy. Power.

My legacy. My life’s work.So I give Aurelia the one thing I have left to bargain a marriage in name only.A contract.A solution.She responds with the one thing I never Defiance.Aurelia doesn’t bow.She doesn’t bend.She walks into my estate like she belongs there, challenges my every command, and looks at me like she can see through every wall I’ve spent years rebuilding.She’s a problem I can’t control.A variable I can’t predict.A spark in a world I’ve kept cold.And she’s becoming dangerous.Because I can’t stop watching her.Wanting her.Needing her.Then the ghosts of my past return.Seraphine — the woman who betrayed me five years ago — slithers back into the spotlight with secrets sharp enough to kill.Lysander moves pieces on a board I didn’t realize I was standing on.And Aurelia finds herself in their crosshairs.The gala was supposed to be a performance.A display of unity.A show of power.Instead, it becomes a nightmare.Drugged champagne.Flashbulbs exploding like gunfire.Aurelia’s body collapsing into my arms.I thought I’d forgotten how to fear.How to rage.How to break.But holding her — her breath shallow, her skin cold — something inside me shatters.I shield her from the cameras.I tear her away from the crowd.I stay beside her all night because I cannot do anything else.And when the board demands annulment…When Lysander sneers his way through the vote…When the world tells me to choose my company or my wife—I choose her.Without hesitation.Without apology.For the first time in my life, the truth is brutal and Aurelia isn’t my obligation.She’s the one person who sees me — the man behind the empire, the boy behind the scars.And I will burn this entire world to protect her.But danger isn’t finished with us.Lysander’s knives are still out.Seraphine’s regrets are catching fire.And Aurelia is digging into secrets powerful enough to destroy us all.Love was never in the plan.But now it’s the only vow I can’t afford to break.Because the woman fate forced on me…The woman I resented…The woman I tried not to want…is becoming the only thing I can’t survive without. less

I always thought the worst night of my life would be the one where everything fell apart.Turns out—it was the night everything finally began.The gala was supposed to be my moment.My research. My achievement.My parents glowing with pride.My boyfriend, Marcus, at my side.Instead, I walked backstage and found him kissing Victoria Ashford—my mother’s friend,the woman who funded my department,the woman who never once saw me as anything but useful... moreI always thought the worst night of my life would be the one where everything fell apart.Turns out—it was the night everything finally began.The gala was supposed to be my moment.My research. My achievement.My parents glowing with pride.My boyfriend, Marcus, at my side.Instead, I walked backstage and found him kissing Victoria Ashford—my mother’s friend,the woman who funded my department,the woman who never once saw me as anything but useful.And when I tried to walk away,my own parents stopped me—not to comfort me,but to warn me.“Don’t cause a scene.”“Victoria is too important.”“We’ll discuss this at home.”That was the moment I finally I wasn’t a daughter.I was an investment.So I ran.Into the rain, into the night… straight into Damian Calloway.The billionaire with the quiet voice and the haunted eyes.The man the Ashfords destroyed a decade ago.The one person in the world who instantly recognized the look I wore.Because he’d worn it too.He didn’t offer pity.He offered something far more A chance to fight back.I should have walked away.Instead, I followed him to his mountain estate and stepped into a war I didn’t know I’d been preparing for my entire life.Together, we Marcus’s academic fraud.My parents’ involvement in Ashford cover-ups.A hidden trail of silenced victims.And the truth—ugly, undeniable, powerful enough to burn an empire.Somewhere between the sleepless nights, whispered strategies, and stolen moments of peace…we became more than allies.More than survivors.We became a team.And when the night of Damian’s gala came,I stood on that stage—in red, unbroken, unapologetic—and told the world everything they tried to bury.The victims joined me.The Ashfords fell.And for the first time in my life, I wasn’t frightened of the truth.I was free because of it.This isn’t a story about being saved.It’s a story about burning down the cage they built for me—and choosing, finally, to walk toward the life waiting on the other side.A life I’m building with a man who refuses to let me shrink ever again.A life forged from love and ashes. less

I thought divorce would be the end of my story.Instead, it was the beginning of my war.Two years ago, I walked into my penthouse and found my husband’s mouth on another woman.His hands on her skin.My robe on her body.I didn’t scream.I didn’t break.I didn’t give him the satisfaction of watching me fall apart.I took photos.Called my lawyer.Signed the papers with steady hands.And I swore I would never let Cassian Holloway touch my life again.But life has a talent for laughing at vows... moreI thought divorce would be the end of my story.Instead, it was the beginning of my war.Two years ago, I walked into my penthouse and found my husband’s mouth on another woman.His hands on her skin.My robe on her body.I didn’t scream.I didn’t break.I didn’t give him the satisfaction of watching me fall apart.I took photos.Called my lawyer.Signed the papers with steady hands.And I swore I would never let Cassian Holloway touch my life again.But life has a talent for laughing at vows.Because now I’m standing in front of federal agents, being accused of laundering millions and helping murder the man who raised him.My company—the empire I built from ashes—is collapsing under cyberattacks I didn’t initiate.Every digital trail leads back to my servers.And every clue leads back to him.Cassian says he didn’t do it.For once, I can see the truth in his eyes—terrified, hollow, the boy he used to be flickering beneath the billionaire’s armor.But this isn’t about him.This time, I’m fighting for me.When we finally uncovered the real enemy—a woman I once called friend—everything detonated.Poison.Betrayal.Manipulation woven through years of our lives like a silent, rotting thread.And suddenly, Cassian and I weren’t enemies anymore.We were targets.Partners.Survivors clawing toward the truth before it destroyed us both.I hated him.I loved him once.I swore I’d never look back.But standing beside him in the ruins of everything we were…I learned something Hate doesn’t burn this hot.Regret doesn’t ache this deep.And some promises—no matter how tainted—don’t die.Not until you decide who you’re willing to become.And who you’re willing to fight for.This isn’t just a second chance.This is a reckoning.And I’m done running. less
