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 94: Behind Locked Doors"Get me out of here!" Julie screamed at the top of her lungs.Her voice echoed through the wide hallway of the mental asylum. Her throat hurt from shouting, but she didn’t stop. She had been doing this since morning, maybe even before that. She had lost count of time."I don’t belong here!" she cried, her face flushed and wet with tears. Her fists slammed against the small open space of the iron door window, again and again.Her eyes were swollen now, her hair a tangled mess. Her usually polished face was stripped of makeup and dignity. She looked like a mess and not just outside.She was breaking."I’m not one of them!" she yelled, her voice hoarse now. "I’m not mad! I’m not crazy!"She didn’t know how she ended up here. Just three days ago, she was at the police station. She remembered sitting calmly, waiting to be questioned. Then men in uniforms showed up.She thought they were from the police. But something felt off.Before she could ask questions, they blindfolded her and dragge

Chapter: Chapter 93"Grandfather, why are you here again?" Denovon asked with a deep frown as his grandfather walked into the hospital room. It had been three days since the accident, and people hadn’t stopped coming to check on him. He was already growing tired of the constant attention."Why won’t I be here again?" Grandfather Gregory responded, brushing off Denovon’s mood as he settled into the chair beside the hospital bed. "Your parents are here too," he added with a light smirk.Almost immediately, Denovon’s parents, Sophia and Richard, stepped inside."How are you doing today, son?" Sophia asked softly, her eyes filled with concern."I'm doing well," Denovon replied, though his face showed signs of weariness. His headache was slowly creeping back again."Hope you're recovering steadily?" Richard added, standing with his hands in his pockets. Denovon gave a small nod in return."Why are you alone? Where is Emily?" Sophia asked, looking around the room and not seeing her daughter-in-law anywhere."I

Chapter: Chapter 92: Let's live in Peace“Stop crying,” Denovon said, his voice weak but firm as he reached out his hand toward her.Emily remained squatted beside the hospital bed, her shoulders trembling as quiet sobs racked through her body. Her heart was drowning in guilt and shame. She had prepared herself for the worst—that he would wake up angry, cold, and distant. She had braced herself to be pushed away, blamed, or ignored.But here he was… telling her to stop crying.“I’m not dead yet, am I?” Denovon gave a soft sigh, watching her through tired eyes. “You’re acting like you lost me already.”Emily’s sobs softened, but the tears wouldn’t stop. “I’m sorry…” she whispered, her voice cracking. “I’m so sorry for what I said that day. I didn’t mean it… I wasn’t thinking straight. I wasn’t emotionally stable but… I never wanted you to get hurt.”“Shhhh,” Denovon cut in gently, his fingers brushing over her trembling hand. “I said it’s okay.”He looked pale, weak… but his eyes were calm, understanding. Not cold. Not accusi

Chapter: Chapter 91Denovon’s eyes slowly opened as he frowned, looking around the room. His head throbbed, and his body felt like he had been hit by a truck.Well, he had been hit by one.He groaned in pain as he tried to sit up, his muscles protesting.“You’re awake!”“Denovon!”“Thank goodness.”“You’re finally awake.”Voices filled the room, all talking at once. Familiar voices. Voices full of relief.Denovon blinked, his throat dry. He could feel he was in the hospital. The sheets. The machines. The soft beeping beside him. It all made sense.“How do you feel?” his mom, Sophia, asked with worry in her voice.“Let the doctor check on him,” Richard, his father, said, pulling Sophia gently aside so the doctor could come closer.The doctor moved quickly but carefully, checking his vitals and asking him questions.“Can you hear me?”“Do you feel pain here?”“Can you move your fingers?”Denovon didn’t speak. He only nodded whenever the doctor asked something. He kept his face calm, showing no emotions.Th

Chapter: Chapter 90: When the guilt meets the truth"Honestly, Emily, you are messing up your life," Val said with a disappointed face.They were sitting quietly somewhere in the hospital, away from the others. The sun had come up, but the day didn’t feel bright. It was a new day, yet Denovon hadn’t woken up. The night had dragged on slowly, heavy with silence and fear. They had all taken turns staying in the room with Denovon, watching, waiting, praying. But Val had noticed something—Emily’s strange behavior. Her quietness. The way she sat with guilt on her face like a heavy mask. So Val had called her out, asked her to step aside and talk.Emily had told her the truth. What had happened between her and Denovon before the accident. The fight. The words. Her regrets.Val couldn’t keep calm after hearing it."And honestly again, if I knew you would still be holding up to your past like this, I wouldn't have allowed you to get involved with Denovon," Val said with a strong voice. "You can't be this damaged and be damaging someone else’s

Chapter: Chapter 89: Hospital The hospital corridor was too quiet. It was the kind of silence that made your heart beat louder. Emily sat still on the cold, tiled floor. Her arms wrapped around herself as she stared at the doors of the emergency room. Her hands were shaking badly, and her chest felt tight like she couldn’t breathe.People were walking by. Nurses. Doctors. Visitors. She didn’t see them. She didn’t hear anything. Her mind was stuck on one thing.Denovon got involved in an accident.That was what Amelia had said.“Emily,” Val called gently, kneeling beside her and trying to help her up.But Emily didn’t move.“Let her sit,” Grandfather Gregory said from where he stood, though his voice was calm, his eyes were filled with fear. He looked older than usual, like he had aged years in just a few minutes.Emily tried to speak. “How… how…”The words got stuck in her throat.“How did it happen?” she finally asked, though her voice was barely a whisper.Leo, who stood nearby with his fists clenched, answered

Bound By Blood, Saved By Love
“So turns out Daddy Dearest didn’t just screw us over emotionally,” Luca muttered. “He was busy committing financial crimes too.”
No one said anything. Not even Leo. Luca went on…
“I should’ve known. The old fool always had something cooking. Even in his grave, the man’s stirring the damn pot.”
He chuckled bitterly, standing up and walking to the bar.
“Other fathers leave mansions, yachts, inheritance,” Luca poured a shot of whiskey, “that bastard leaves lawsuits, scandals, and a lovely side dish of FBI raids.”
He downed the shot, smacking the glass on the counter. “Old fool left nothing but chaos.”
Still, no one said a word.
Luca leaned back against the counter and sneered. “What? Nobody gonna say anything?"
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 28: Unspoken Things Leo sat quietly in his office, the afternoon light spilling through the blinds and casting long shadows on the floor. His head bent over a stack of folders, his fingers flipping through them, but his mind wasn’t fully in it.A knock came—soft, almost hesitant.Before he could say anything, his assistant pushed the door open. “Sir, someone’s here to see you.”“Tell them...” he started, but the words died on his tongue when she walked in.Diane.His heart pounded violently in his chest. He froze. For a moment, everything else—papers, deadlines, stress, the company vanished. He just stared."Diane," he breathed.It wasn’t a hallucination. It wasn’t a memory. She was really here. In front of him. Her heels tapped softly against the tiled floor as she walked to the visitor's chair, dropped her handbag on the desk, and crossed her legs. Calm, poised. Like she still owned the room. Like nothing had changed.Leo blinked. His senses slowly returned."I... I really wasn't expecting you..." he s

Chapter: Chapter 27: Luca's EffectClarissa straightened slightly, as though remembering she was supposed to resist whatever charm was floating in the air between them.“I’m not here to waste your time. I just came for something you already have.”She narrowed her eyes. “Which is? Mr...”“Van Driscoll,” Luca said easily, stepping closer. “Luca Van Driscoll.”Her brows rose just slightly at the name, but she masked it quickly, her hands folding neatly on the table.“I’m not authorized to give out internal financial data, Mr…?” she said, having already figured out what he came for.His brother had called earlier, asking about a transaction. She assumed Luca had come for the same thing—and she wasn’t wrong.“Exactly what you said earlier,” Luca said coolly, “but I’m here now... in person.”“That doesn’t change protocol,” she said, though her voice had lost a bit of its edge. “Unless you’re here with a legal order, I can’t—”Luca didn’t answer immediately.Instead, his gaze dropped slowly, from her eyes to her lips… then l

Chapter: Chapter 26: HC HoldingThe phone rang again, cutting sharply through the silence. Luca groaned softly, his body buried under the sheets. He reached for the nightstand lazily, fingers fumbling around until they landed on his phone. One eye cracked open. Leo. He exhaled, already irritated. But he answered. “What?” Leo’s voice exploded on the other end. “Are you insane, Luca? I’ve been calling you since last night! You didn’t see my calls? What the hell were you doing last night?” Luca furrowed his brows, still trying to wake. He sat up slowly, rubbing the side of his face. "You were calling?" He asked confused. He didn’t realize Leo had been calling. Last night had blurred into chaos—he’d been too occupied making Rhea Voss pay for hitting him. “I didn’t know you were calling,” he said, voice rough. “I wasn’t looking at my phone. I was… busy.” He didn’t say more. He didn’t need to. His silence was enough for Leo to guess. “Busy?” Leo snapped. “W

Chapter: Chapter 25: LockboxJace stepped into the late Mr. Robert Van Driscoll's office. As soon as the familiar scent hit his face, he groaned. "Smells just like that old man," he grunted under his breath. His face twisted with displeasure as he stepped in deeper. He hadn’t set foot in here a single day in his life—not even when the man was still alive. Not even after he began working here. Everything in the office was curated in Robert's taste: the dark mahogany furniture, the heavy leather chairs, the overpriced abstract art pieces that screamed wealth and control. He stood at the center of the room and looked around. Cold. Stiff. Silent. Just like the man had always been. On the table was a photo frame of Robert and young Leo. Both suited up, smiling, gleaming like the perfect father-son duo. They looked happy. Content. And like Jace had never existed. "Old fool," Jace muttered, flipping the frame facedown on the desk. He didn’t want to see him. Not even in pictures. Moving to the shelf, he sta

Chapter: Chapter 24: Aftertaste Luca Van Driscoll’s POV “Damn it.” Luca hissed under his breath as he leaned back in the leather chair, staring at the screen like it owed him money. The office was quiet, except for the annoying hum of the desktop in front of him. “This is bullshit,” he muttered, clicking through yet another boring email folder. “I didn’t sign up to play detective.” He shoved a handful of gummy bears into his mouth and chewed like he was angry at them too. “It’s been two damn days of this crap,” he muttered. All these stupid folders labeled by dates, codes, numbers were like a digital graveyard of someone else’s secrets. And that someone else just had to be his dead father. “Edwards better be glad he’s old,” he grumbled, scrolling again. “Or I’d shove this damn hard drive down his throat.” He clicked open a folder marked ‘private --6B Transfered’. “Finally,” he muttered, squinting as the screen filled with message threads, file attachments, and confusing numbers. “Let’s see what k

Chapter: Chapter 23: Silent Evidence The living room of the Van Driscoll mansion was unnervingly quiet. Afternoon sun filtered through the massive glass panels, casting fractured shadows on the sleek marble floor. But nothing felt beautiful today.Leo stood by the window, pacing. Back and forth. His shoes made sharp, restless taps against the floor, the tension in his shoulders clear with every movement.Jace sat on a single-seater, legs crossed, arms folded. His usual composure was intact but his eyes were distant, narrowed. For the first time, he didn’t look like he had it all figured out. Maybe it was the company falling apart or maybe Sarah’s rejection hit harder than he thought. No one really knew.Luca, on the other hand, sat on the arm of the couch, one leg bouncing wildly. He was chewing gum too loud, too fast. He looked edgy. The kind of edgy you get when something valuable is slipping through your fingers. Was it the company he was worried about? Or just his fat assets crashing with it?“So turns out Daddy Dear
