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 156“Vivienne.”Her name rolled off his tongue for the third time. Daniel’s voice was low but edged with impatience, and his narrowed eyes studied her.Vivienne finally blinked, pulling herself out of the shock that had frozen her at the sight of him. Her heart had skipped a beat, not from longing but from an old wound reopening.“Why are you here?” she asked. Her tone was calm, almost cold, though inside she was unsettled.Daniel shifted his weight, one hand stuffed into his pocket. “I thought I saw someone who looked like you passing by. I came to check if it was really you.” His words were casual, but his arrogance bled through. He had always spoken as if the world belonged to him.“Okay, that’s me. You’ve seen me now—you can go.” Vivienne’s voice was firm. She had no intention of entertaining him. Not anymore. Not after everything.She didn’t hate him; hate required energy she no longer wanted to waste. But she didn’t want him in her space either. They had once been friends, yes. Chil

Chapter: Chapter 155Chapter 155“Mom, Dad, I’m home,” Vivienne called a little louder than usual as she pushed open the door and stepped into the villa.The air inside was cool and filled with the faint smell of polished wood. The living room alone showed the wealth of the owners—soft cream couches, a glass center table, a chandelier hanging above, and expensive paintings decorating the walls. Anyone walking in would immediately know that the family who lived here was not poor. Yet, to a stranger looking from the outside, Vivienne herself could have been mistaken for a maid because of the simple clothes she wore.“My daughter is home!” a man’s joyful voice rang from one corner.Mr. Lukeman, in his fifties, walked out with a wide smile on his face. His eyes lit up with warmth as he hurried toward her.“Dad!” Vivienne dropped her bag onto the desk by the door and rushed forward, wrapping her arms around him. “How are you doing?”“I’m very well,” he said with pride, holding her tightly. “And even if I wasn’

Chapter: Chapter 154Denovon carefully slipped out of the bed, making sure not to disturb Emily, who was sleeping soundly beside him. Her soft breathing filled the quiet room, and the gentle rise and fall of her chest was enough to make him pause for a moment, staring at her with tenderness in his eyes.It was already late in the evening, yet they had been asleep for hours after another round of love making. Earlier that morning, they had returned to their room right after breakfast. Emily had been unsettled, her face pale, her hands shaking, when he told her about the threat messages. She had nearly broken down, her fear obvious, but Denovon had held her close, whispering words of comfort until she finally calmed down. Somehow, in their closeness, in their need for one another, comfort had turned into passion, and passion into exhaustion. They had given in to sleep, wrapped in each other’s arms.Now Denovon gently pulled the duvet higher to cover her fragile frame. His eyes softened as he leaned closer a

Chapter: Chapter 153The water around Emily was warm, wrapping her body like a comforting blanket. The faint movement of the bath made her feel as if she were floating on a calm ocean. Slowly, her muscles began to relax, the soreness in her body fading.She let out a soft sigh. For the first time since last night, she was beginning to feel at ease. But still, her eyelids grew heavy. Sleep tugged at her, tempting her to drift away. She hadn’t rested properly. How could she? The man behind her had not let her.Emily leaned back against the sturdy chest that supported her. She shifted slightly, snuggling against him until she found a comfortable position. The steady rhythm of his heartbeat against her ear made her feel safe.“Are you still sore,” Denovon asked, his deep voice brushing against her ear, “or are you feeling sleepy again?” His tone carried a trace of happiness that couldn’t be hidden.Emily’s eyes snapped open, and she scowled. She twisted her head sharply to glare at him. “Isn’t it because of y

Chapter: Chapter 152Leo sat in his car, staring at the glowing screen of his phone. He had typed out, “Are you free tonight?” but his thumb hovered above the send button like it weighed a hundred pounds. His chest felt tight, his heartbeat uneven. Why was he suddenly nervous?He had spoken to plenty of women before. Women had approached him, smiled at him, tried to hold his attention. It had never made him pause like this. So why, with Vivienne, did it feel different? Why did his hands sweat at the thought of sending a simple text?With a sharp sigh, he deleted the words. His jaw tightened as he typed again. “Vivienne, this is Leo. Do you have time for coffee?” He stared at the short sentence for what felt like forever, then finally pressed send.The message whooshed away. Immediately, regret stabbed at him. What if she ignored it? What if she thought he was bothering her? What if she had already decided to forget about him after the wedding? His hand tightened on the phone as doubt coiled in his stomach

Chapter: Chapter 151 Leo sat quietly in the living room of his family house, his body leaning slightly forward as he stared at the glowing screen of his phone. His fingers rested loosely around it, but his mind was far away. His eyes were narrowed, as if he were caught in some deep thought he couldn’t untangle. A heavy sigh escaped his lips, and he dragged his hand back through his hair, frustration flickering across his face.“Are you expecting a call?”The sudden voice pulled him back to reality. He blinked and lifted his head, realizing that he wasn’t alone. His father, Mr. Blake, was sitting across from him, watching him with a calm but probing look.“No, Dad,” Leo answered quickly, clearing his throat as if to shake off his distraction. Embarrassed, he slid the phone to his side on the sofa. He had almost forgotten that his father was there with him.Mr. Blake nodded slowly, his eyes still fixed on his son.“Mr. Turner called me,” he said after a pause, his voice steady but carrying weight. “He told

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 25: When Love Turns ColdMarceline POVFlashbacksI felt a hand slip gently around me, pulling me into a warm back hug. I didn’t need to turn because I already knew who it was. Philip. His lips brushed against my cheek, then trailed softly down my neck. My lips curved into a smile.“Thanks so much for coming, sweetheart,” he whispered against my ear, his voice low.I smiled again, turning slowly to face him. My hands rested lightly on his shoulders.“You don’t have to thank me,” I said softly. “I miss you.”Philip chuckled, his eyes glowing as he cupped my face. “I love you so much, Marceline. I will always love you.”“Are you sure about that?” I asked, my voice small as I searched his eyes. “You won’t leave me in the future?” My lips pushed into a pout I knew he loved.He smiled at the sight. “Why should I? You’re everything I’ve ever wanted. Everything I need.” His words were firm, before he leaned in and kissed me. “You and I, till forever.”Shyness crept up my cheeks and my heart pounded with sweetness. N

Chapter: Chapter 24: The Crown Taken Marceline POVI walked straight to my supposed seat with a gentle and apologizing smile for being late. It wasn’t my intention to arrive late, but I had to drop Roman at school. It should not have taken so much time, but after leaving him, I stayed back in my car, parked not far from the company building. I needed a moment to meditate, to talk to myself about how far my life had come.Was I making the right decision to remain in this marriage, or should I just accept the divorce and let them go?Roman had witnessed the fight between Philip and me. That memory had torn my heart for days. I wanted my son to grow with love and care from his parents, not to witness violence. It took me so much effort to ease his mind, to convince him that his father and I weren’t really fighting. But deep inside, I knew the truth.I had cried my eyes out too, not only because of the pain but because Philip had not even reached out to Roman since that night. At least a father who claimed to love his son sh

Chapter: Chapter 23: The Stanmore New Vice president Philip POVI headed straight to my office to drop my suitcase and settle down before the meeting. My heart was still pounding, but I tried to stay calm and steady my steps.I had barely entered my office when my assistant walked in. I already had an idea why he was here.“Welcome, sir,” he greeted.I nodded in reply and sat down on my chair.“Here is the meeting agenda,” he said and handed me a file.I opened it to cross-check it like always. Being the CEO, I had to check the agenda of every meeting. My hand paused for a moment when I saw the first item—introduction of the Vice President.The name written there was Mrs. Marceline Stanmore.My tongue turned bitter, even though I already knew it. I was the one who instructed Luke, my assistant, to remove Anastasia’s name and put Marceline’s. I couldn’t go against my grandfather, who had asked me to give the position to her.I had even tried giving my grandfather reasons why Marceline was unfit for the position, but he clearly said that

Chapter: Chapter 22: Torn Between PromisesPhilip POV I walked into the closet from the bathroom, straining my ears to hear if Marceline was in the bedroom. Nothing. No sound of her voice. It had been four days since I last saw her properly—since that night I slapped her. The memory burned in me every second. I regretted it. Truly. In all our years together, I had never raised a hand on her. I never thought I would. But that night, my anger took over. Lately, she had been defying me at every step. First, she rejected the divorce I wanted. Then she raised her voice at me like she no longer cared. She hired a housekeeper even when I told her not to. And then, she dared to ask about returning to work. Not just any job—she wanted the Vice President position. That position wasn’t hers. I had already promised it to Anastasia when she asked. Since that night, I had been sleeping at the office. But last night, I returned home, planning to talk to her. I wanted to persuade her gently to give up the idea of working at Stanmore.

Chapter: Chapter 21: The Fight Between Philip And IMarceline POV "Goodbye, grandpa, I will visit another day," Roman said, climbing into the back seat while I bent down to fasten his seatbelt. "That’s great, Rome. Always remind your mummy to bring you here," Eldest Stanmore replied happily, his tone matching Roman’s cheer. We had been here quiet for a while, and it was already late. I had thought the others would be back by now, but they still weren’t. When I finished locking Roman’s belt and made sure it was secure, I turned to grandfather. "We will be going now. Take care of yourself, grandfather," I said with a small bow. He had walked outside to see us off. "I will. And as for what we talked about, you can start work anytime you like...no pressure," Eldest Stanmore said kindly, smiling. "Thank you. I will start as soon as possible," I replied with a grateful smile. "Alright, drive carefully on the road," he reminded. I nodded, got into the driver’s seat, and started the engine.

His sudden shout startled the eldest Stanmore, Mr. Johnson Stanmore..Philip’s grandfather...who had been reading a newspaper.“The most cutie Roman!” Eldest Stanmore said joyfully, putting the paper aside and adjusting in his chair so Roman could run into his arms.“Easy, Roman,” I reminded gently. “Don’t hurt Great Grandpa.”The old man was already frail, and if Roman dashed too fast, he could easily injure him.“How is my boy doing?” Eldest Stanmore asked as Roman reached him, his wrinkled hands rubbing Roman’s chubby cheeks.“I’m fine, Grandpa! Mummy picked me up from school today, and I told her I wanted to see you because I missed you!” Roman rattled in one breath, hugging the old man tightly. His childish voice was so sweet that I couldn’t help laughing softly.Truly, after I picked him up from school, Roman had begged me to bring him here. He ha

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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? You’ve dragged yourself into a scandal big enough to choke the whole family.”Luca wasn’t even angry that Leo w

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.

He couldn’t believe he was here again, waiting for Rhea.Two nights ago, he had been at the Gala party when she called him. Without thinking, he left the party and drove across the city to pick her up from a club. Yesterday, she had asked him to come to this hospital, and he did. Today, she hadn’t even called him—yet here he was, waiting again, as if it had become his duty.He shook his head, frustrated.“When did you become a chauffeur, Luca?” he muttered aloud, cursing himself. “What the hell is wrong with you?”It was so unlike him. He wasn’t the type to run around after anyone. Not even his closest friends got this kind of treatment. And yet here he was, playing driver for Rhea Voss—the same woman who had once punched him, humiliated him, and made him swear he would make her kneel for mercy.Now?
