The Beautiful Wife Of Mr Rowland
"But I Denovon Rowland need a wife.”
Emily’s heart skipped.
“I don’t want to go on another blind date,” he said, voice steady and sure. “So if you’re willing…”
He leaned in slightly, lowering his tone just enough to make her feel like the world had paused.
“Let’s get married.”
Emily gasped quietly, stunned.
“I promise you won’t be at a disadvantage,” he added, gently.
It hit her harder than any insult or betrayal she had faced. This… this wasn’t something she had expected. Not today. Not from him.
Her lips parted, but no sound came out. She was frozen.
Denovon noticed.
He gave her a small smile..confident, calm, and sure.
“Sleep over it,” he said. “I’ll be waiting for your reply.”
And just like that, he turned
Betrayed by her family, by her fiancé, and left with nothing.Emily Carter had lost it all.
Until Denovon Rowland, the cold billionaire CEO, offered her a deal: his name for her silence.Now, as his wife, she’s not just surviving—she’s taking back everything they stole. And this time, she’s untouchable

Chapter: Chapter 229:Vivienne parked her car neatly in the mall's parking lot and exhaled, checking her purse before stepping out.She had spent half the morning thinking about what to get for Leo’s father, whose birthday was tomorrow, and she still didn’t know what to buy since he seemed to have almost everything.Adjusting the strap of her handbag, she started walking toward the mall entrance when a familiar voice, sharp and dripping with disdain, cut through the air.“Well, if it isn’t the so-called famous fiancée,” Serena Turner said, standing just a few steps ahead with a younger woman whom Vivienne recognized as her sister. Both were dressed elegantly, their expensive heels clicking against the pavement as they approached.Vivienne sighed deeply. She really didn’t want to see or talk to them. If she had known they would be here, she would have gone to another mall instead.These past few weeks, Serena had not allowed her to rest. She still hadn’t accepted the fact that Leo and Vivienne were together

Chapter: Chapter 228The food arrived not long after, and before Reuben could say a word or stand up to get it from the delivery man, Claire had already rushed to the door to collect it.She placed the bags on the table, humming happily as she unpacked them one by one.“Finally,” she said with a sigh of relief. “I thought I was going to die of hunger tonight.”Reuben leaned back on the couch, watching her quietly. The way her face lit up over food was something he couldn’t explain.Claire opened one of the containers, took a bite, and let out a soft moan.“Oh, this is so good,” she said with her mouth full. “You should try this one too, Reuben.”Reuben’s heart skipped and pounded at the sound of her soft moan, and he quickly looked away. He didn’t understand what was happening to him. How could her innocent sound make his body react like that?“It’s really good. You should try it,” Claire said again as she ate.Reuben didn’t answer. He simply stood up and walked over to the table. Pulling out a chair, he

Chapter: Chapter 227Reuben pushed the door of his apartment open and stepped in quietly. The silence inside felt heavy like his heart. He shut the door behind him and stood there for a moment, staring blankly at the floor.Emily's voice still echoed in his head.“You can’t just leave like that, Brother Reuben… We have barely known each other yet. We are family.”Her trembling voice replayed over and over, stabbing at his heart each time. He rubbed his face roughly, sighing deeply.“Damn it,” he muttered under his breath.He wanted to leave. He needed to leave. Staying here would only make things harder for him. He didn’t want to face the Rowland family again. He wanted to go back to his men, to the life that made sense ...simple, cold, and distant. But no matter how much he tried to convince himself now, Emily’s pleading eyes wouldn’t leave his mind. The way she had looked at him, it felt like someone had reached inside and twisted something in his chest.Reuben walked into the living room and dropped on

Chapter: Chapter 226Reuben stood in the hallway for a while after leaving the apartment. He ran a hand through his hair and exhaled deeply before heading toward the elevator.He didn’t understand why he felt the need to make sure she was safe. He had already done more than he planned to, but somehow, leaving her in that old building didn’t sit right with him.“Stubborn woman,” he said with a faint smile, remembering their conversation and argument throughout the drive to Willow Town—how she had challenged him and talked back to him without fear.He got into his car and drove out of the apartment, heading straight to the Rowland family mansion. He wasn’t sure if Emily and Denovon had returned to their villa yet, but his instinct told him they were still at the mansion.At the Rowland Family MansionDenovon was sitting in the garden, enjoying the fresh air while going through the project document Emily had brought home yesterday. He couldn’t read it the night before because he had come home late and drunk.

Chapter: Chapter 225It was evening when Reuben and Claire reached the city. The hum of traffic grew louder, headlights flashing against the car windows as they entered the busier streets.Claire leaned her head against the window, watching the buildings roll past one after another. After spending a few hours in Willow Town, the city suddenly felt too harsh. It reminded her that she was back and without a job since she lost hers.She sighed softly, closed her eyes, and swallowed the lump in her throat.Reuben drove in silence, but every now and then, his eyes flicked toward her, just to check. She looked pale, tired, and deep in thought.“Where do you live?” Reuben asked quietly, giving her a brief glance.Claire turned her head and told him her address.Reuben nodded and drove for a while until he slowed down and turned into a quieter street. Older buildings lined the road ... paint peeling, balconies crowded with hanging laundry and flower pots.“You live here?” Reuben asked with a frown when he stopped

Chapter: Chapter 224Denovon slowly opened his eyes. His head felt heavy, and a dull pain throbbed behind his temples. He blinked a few times, his vision adjusting to the soft light of the room. He was lying on the bed.A sharp sting hit his head when he tried to move. He hissed and inhaled deeply, forcing himself to stay still for a moment. His throat felt dry, like he hadn’t drunk water in days, and his tongue grazed the roof of his mouth as he tried to swallow.When he shifted his arm, something tugged lightly at his hand. He frowned and turned to see a clear tube running from a bag of IV fluid into his vein. The cool sensation trickled through him.“What the…” he muttered under his breath, frowning as he forced himself upright. He leaned weakly against the headboard, his mind spinning. How did he end up like this?The last thing he remembered was Emily’s soft breath against his neck, the warmth of her body close to his. Then everything had gone blank.Just then, the door opened, and Emily stepped in,

The Game of a Married Woman
“What do you think you’re doing? Let me go!” I hissed in fear. Someone might see us like this.
“Happily married? I don’t think that’s the case,” he said instead of releasing me. His voice carried anger now.
“I’m a married woman!” My voice trembled with fear and nervousness as I struggled, but it was useless. He easily caught both of my hands in one of his.
“Married, yes. But not happily,” he said, not caring about my desperate pulling.
“Please… let me go. Someone will see us,” I pleaded in a low, shaking voice.
“You have beautiful eyes,” he said suddenly, his voice deep and strange, making my pulse quicken.
Marceline never imagined she would experiment with betrayal. But after seeing her husband tangled in the arms of her closest friend, she let herself taste what it felt like to sin. What began as one night of reckless desire soon turned into many nights of fiery passion and dangerous obsession—an affair she could not escape.
Yet even while indulging in forbidden pleasure, Marceline swore never to grant her husband what he wanted. Divorce. Philip would never be free. Anastasia would never have the happiness of standing by his side.
If they wanted to play with her heart, she would play with their lives. In this game of marriage, passion, and betrayal...only she decides who wins.

Chapter: Chapter 65: Her Nerve Is Unmatched Marceline’s POV“I still can’t believe that witch said that to our faces!” Celesta’s voice rang across the living room. Her tone was sharp, trembling with anger as she paced back and forth. “How can someone be that shameless?”I sat quietly on the couch, my hands folded on my lap, watching her move like a storm that couldn’t settle. Her face was red with fury, her hair slightly messy from how often she had run her hands through it. She was angry for me ...more than I could ever be for myself.I chuckled in my mind at that. She had insisted I come home with her, thinking I would go back to my house and cry over it.“Did you see the nerve she had? Talking about being pregnant and smiling while rubbing her stomach!” Celesta snapped again. “Ugh… this is making me sick. I’m losing my mind!” she screamed angrily.Her voice echoed through the living room. I breathed out, remembering the scene again. Truly, Anastasia’s nerve was unmatched.... the way she stood there and said she was pregnant

She had just returned from one of her business trips outside the city.“I miss those days when I didn’t have to travel so often,” Celesta said tiredly.I smiled softly. “Then you should quit work and become a sit-at-home mom.”She scoffed and rolled her eyes in irritation. She had always hated that phrase sit-at-home mom or housewife.We both laughed lightly, but our steps slowed as we got to the last stair.There...right in front of us...was Philip and Anastasia.Philip’s eyes widened the moment he saw me, his face turning pale like he had just seen a ghost. Celesta quickly looked at me, her expression worried. I smiled faintly and gave her a small nod.“Marceline,” Philip called, his voice shaky as he stood up in panic.I let out a quiet, mocking laugh in my head and moved my eyes away from him. F

Chapter: Chapter 63: I'm Pregnant With Your Child Philip’s POVThe spoon in my hand had barely touched the plate before I dropped it with a dull clink. My appetite had vanished long before I sat at the table, but I forced myself to eat anyway. The quietness of the house only made it worse.I had come back from my morning jog, freshened up, and was now having breakfast, but my mind wasn’t at rest. I was still bothered by what had happened last night ...how I got the wrong dress size for Marceline.I was too embarrassed to face her. How could I forget my own wife’s dress size? If it was just a different size, it would have been better, but it was Anastasia’s exact size.I hadn’t seen Marceline, and I didn’t have the courage to knock on her door. Now, sitting here with untouched breakfast and a restless heart, I couldn’t take it anymore.I had to go and talk to her, to apologize. I didn’t mean to get the wrong size ... I only wanted to make things right between us.She was probably in the garden, I thought. It was Saturday morning, and

Chapter: Chapter 62: The Wrong SizePhilip’s POV“Unbelievable,” I muttered and dropped my phone on the desk with a sharp thud. My chest tightened with anger I didn’t even try to hide.How could she still shamelessly call me about the house as if nothing happened? As if she hadn’t embarrassed me enough.“Stupid woman,” I cursed lowly as I leaned on my chair. I wasn’t just angry, I felt disgusted.I should have known better than to have gotten involved with her.Was that why Marceline had told me to continue with her? Did she know that Anastasia was this low and had pushed me to her?I closed my eyes briefly to calm myself down, not wanting to think about that now. What was important was how to make things right between me and Marceline.It was almost work hour, I packed up my things to head home. I would have worked overtime today, but I wasn’t in the mood anymore.I glanced towards Marceline’s office just as I got out of my office and I realized that I hadn’t seen her all day. Usually, even if we didn’t talk, I’d catch

We walked through the quiet lobby toward the private parking lot.We were both freshly dressed. I had gotten new clothes for her. A faint smile crossed my face as I thought about what had happened earlier. It was wild, but it was also the most passionate moment I’d ever shared with anyone.“You should rest when you get home,” Marceline said softly when we reached her car. Her voice carried that gentle concern that always disarmed me.“I will. Don’t worry,” I replied with a small smile, fighting the urge to touch her hair.She nodded lightly, her lips curving faintly before she looked away. I could tell she had something on her mind ... maybe confusion, maybe doubt. I wanted to ask her, but I didn’t want to push.“Drive safely,” I said, opening her car door for her.“Hmm.” She smiled. “You too.”She got in, fastened her seat belt, and started the engine. She gave me one last soft look

There’s another buyer already making inquiries.”I frowned when I heard that another buyer was interested. The house he was talking about was the one I had my eyes on.I wanted to move out of the villa. It didn’t suit my taste anymore. Philip had promised to buy me a house.A bitter scoff escaped my mouth as I remembered Philip. We hadn’t talked to each other since the day he came to my villa, took back the black card he gave me, and worse, insulted me.He called me an unintelligent person just because I brought out the card in front of Marceline and she saw it.I was mad, hurt, and in pain that day. I hadn’t called him since then. I decided to let him be, thinking he would come back and apologize. But it had been days, and still, he hasn’t called.“Please pay befo

Bound By Blood, Saved By Love
"Sarah… I know you don’t like that I’m a Van Driscoll,” he said. “But honestly… I don’t either.”
He stepped even closer.
“I love you.”
Those words hit Sarah like a wave. Her knees almost gave out.
“Give me a chance,” he continued gently, lifting her chin with his hand.
She looked away.
“Being a Van Driscoll won’t change anything between us. I promise.”
He meant it.
He would throw away that name if it meant being with her.
“Let’s date,” he whispered. His thumb stroked her cheek.
Sarah’s eyes slowly met his. Her chest felt tight.
“Please,” he said, voice soft. “I promise to always make you happy.”
After the death of billionaire tycoon Robert Van Driscoll, his final will leaves behind chaos. His three estranged sons—Leo, Jace, and Luca—must run the family company together for one year or lose everything. Leo feels betrayed after dedicating his life to the business. Jace wants nothing to do with the family. And Luca? He just wants to be free. They clash, resist, and nearly walk away.
But when outside enemies begin to threaten the empire, the brothers have no choice but to unite. As they fight for control, each of them faces personal battles—old wounds, painful sacrifices, and unexpected love. Leo is haunted by a past relationship he never truly let go. Jace finds himself drawn to a woman who challenges everything he’s buried. And Luca? He falls for someone who refuses to be tamed. In the end, it’s not just about saving the company... it’s about healing, brotherhood, and risking everything for the kind of love that refuses to be bought.

Chapter: Chapter 50: In His Bed AgainThe car pulled up at the mansion. Diane stepped out, her eyes widening. Leo had brought them to the mansion. She hadn’t expected they’d come here. Her gaze darted around the building. She remembered visiting this place many times when they were still dating. Each time she came, Robert Van Driscoll, Leo’s late father, never seemed to like it.“Come, sweetheart,” Leo’s voice came, soft and warm.His hand slipped into hers as he guided her inside. It had been five years, but the mansion still looked the same. Somehow, she could still smell the old man, still see his face in every corner of the house, like he was watching them—watching her.Still, her hand tightened around Leo’s as they walked up the stairs. She could not deny this was the safest place they could be.The house was quiet, too quiet and lonely. Almost as if it understood they needed privacy.“Where are the workers?” Diane finally asked after minutes of wondering.She hadn’t seen a single worker since they arrived, except fo

He could still see it in her eyes, the truth she tried so hard to hide. She still loved him."Is that really what you want? Or is it what Vincent and the rest of the world want from you?" he asked, his eyes locked on hers.Diane’s throat bobbed as she swallowed, but she forced herself to stay calm. "Does… does it matter?"Leo chuckled bitterly and stepped closer. "Then I’m afraid, Diane… I’m not letting you go."Her eyes fluttered, lips parting slightly in shock."I’ve spent years looking for you, praying to find you again. And now that I have, you think I’ll just let you slip away? Never.""What... what are you talking about?" She stuttered, her heart racing."Do you think I’m not hurting too?" His voice cracked.

Chapter: Chapter 48: Chains and confessions"Mr. Leo Van Driscoll, this way please," a worker said as soon as Leo walked into the hotel lobby.He nodded once, then followed her calmly to a private lounge. His heart pounded in his chest. He had received a message directly from Diane an hour ago asking that they meet up. He didn’t understand why she wanted to see him all of a sudden, especially after denying the rumour in front of the whole world. But whatever it was, it only made him nervous.The worker stopped at the door, gesturing for him to enter. He took a deep breath and stepped inside, his pulse racing."You came sooner than I expected," Diane’s voice echoed across the room.Leo turned his head and their eyes met. Diane was sitting in the corner, still wearing the same outfit from the conference. Her expression was unreadable, but he could see the sadness sitting heavy in her eyes."Of course I had to," Leo walked quickly toward her. "You suddenly wished to see me. It must be important."She had never once called or texte

The press conference was finally over, but the words she had spoken lingered in her chest like a stone.She denied him."You did well. This will help calm things down.”Her lawyer said, giving her a reassuring smile before leaving her with Vincent.Diane didn’t reply. Her throat felt tight, as if every word she had spoken to the cameras had scraped her raw.The car ride home was silent. Vincent sat beside her, his jaw clenched, eyes on the city rushing by outside the tinted windows.Diane stared at her own hands resting on her lap. They were shaking, as if she had done something unforgivable. And maybe she had.That morning she woke up with a scandal big enough to ruin her name. Everyone around her thought denying it was the smartest move. But now that she had, her chest ached. Because the one person she truly denied was Leo.Vincent then broke the silence, muttering under hi

Chapter: Chapter 46: Breaking PointLeo sat heavily in his chair, still shaken from the conference. Diane had denied him—and it hurt. He understood why she did it, he really did, but that didn’t stop the sting.It felt like he had truly lost her to another man, to Vincent. Like their love would forever remain a sin, something to be hidden in the shadows. And he hated that more than anything.The sudden swing of his office door startled him. His sigh deepened when he saw Luca barge in, followed closely by Jace. He didn’t need to ask why they were there. Of course, they had heard. Everyone had.Luca stormed forward, his face tight with fury and disappointment. He had warned him how risky it was to be with that woman, but he didn’t listen. Now see the scandal it had landed him.“I told you, Leo. I warned you,” he spat, his voice sharp. "I told you this would blow up in your face. But you wouldn’t listen. And now?

For the past twenty minutes, he had done nothing but watch her sleep, memorizing every detail of her face as though she were the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Then, her lashes fluttered, and her eyes slowly opened. The moment their gazes met, Jace’s stomach flipped, a rush of warmth surging through him. “Good morning, sunshine,” he greeted, his smile lighting up his whole face. Sarah smiled back and snuggled into his arms. “Good morning, honey,” she whispered, closing her eyes again as she inhaled his scent. Her heart felt so full. These past two days in his apartment had been like a dream...days cut off from the world’s troubles, days where they only ate, made love, slept, and repeated the cycle. “I believe you slept well,” Jace said softly. Sarah smiled. Slept well was an understatement. Instead of answering, she pulled him closer and kissed him gently. “You must be hungry now.
