Ruthless Vows: The Billionaire Revenge
Blurb
"Sign the papers, Celeste."
I wiped the blood from my nose, my hands trembling as I handed my husband the contract I had worked tirelessly to finalize for him. But instead of gratitude, he shoved divorce papers in my face.
And beside him, smirking in triumph, was the woman he had replaced me with—the daughter of his boss.
Five years of sacrifice, of love, of loyalty… all reduced to nothing. Ethan Carter had used me, discarded me, and now he was climbing higher on the back of another woman.
I thought that was the end of my story.
Until he appeared.
Damien Sinclair—the youngest billionaire in the country, ruthless in business, feared by his enemies, and a man who never gave without taking something in return.
And he wanted me.
Overnight, I went from the forgotten ex-wife to the envy of high society, the woman draped in luxury, held in the arms of a man who commanded the world.
But Damien’s interest in me wasn’t coincidence. He knew my past. He knew my pain.
And when he whispered my childhood nickname in his sleep, I realized… he knew me.
Now, I must uncover the truth before I lose myself in the passion, the power, and the dangerous game I never saw coming.
Because in Damien’s world, love is just another negotiation—and I might be the one paying the ultimate price.

Chapter: Chapter 87: The Lab Burns“Shoot her and I'll shoot you.”Damien had his gun out, aimed at the soldier holding Mila. His hand was steady. His voice was cold.Celeste’s mother laughed. “You won’t shoot. Too many of my men. You’ll be dead before you hit the ground.”“Maybe. But so will you.”The standoff was held. No one moved. Only the sound of breathing filled the lab.Then Rylan spoke. “Let the girl go.”Everyone turned toward him. He’d been silent until now — beaten, bruised, but standing tall.“This ends now,” he said. “I’m done with your games. Done with your lies. Done with all of it.”“Sit down, Rylan. You’re embarrassing yourself.”“No. You embarrassed yourself. You killed hundreds of innocent people today — for what? Power? Control? It’s sick.”“It’s necessary. You’re too weak to understand that.”“I’m not weak. I’m human. Something you stopped being a long time ago.”Celeste’s mother’s eyes turned hard. “Fine. You want to stand against me? Then die with them.”She nodded at her soldiers. They lifted t

Chapter: Chapter 86: Fires of the Past"Don't press it."Celeste’s voice was calm — too calm. Her mother’s finger hovered over the detonator."Give me one reason," her mother said."Because you’re bluffing. You won’t kill yourself. You love power too much."Her mother smiled faintly. "You think you know me.""I do. Better than you think."Silence filled the room. Every second stretched.Then her mother lowered the detonator — just a little. "You’re right. I won’t die today. But you’re not winning either."She pressed another hidden button on the desk.Gas hissed through the vents. Sweet-smelling. Chemical."Sleep gas," her mother said. "You’ll wake up in your cells. Where you belong."Celeste held her breath. So did Damien and Elena. But the guards didn’t. They breathed it in and began collapsing.Her mother slipped on a mask. "I’m always three steps ahead, darling."Celeste’s lungs burned. She couldn’t last much longer. Neither could Damien.Then the window exploded. Glass shattered everywhere. Someone swung in through th

Chapter: Chapter 85: A War in Shadow"I'm going back in."Celeste stood before the Belmont compound gates. Three days had passed since they saved Mila. Three days of planning. Now it was time.Damien caught her arm. "This is crazy.""I know. But it’s the only way."They’d talked about it all night. After rescuing Mila from Rylan’s trap—a setup to make Celeste think her mother was the bigger threat—they’d realized one thing. They needed real intelligence. The kind only she could get."Your mother will see through this," Damien said."Maybe. But she wants me back. She wants control. I’ll give her what she wants. Pretend to surrender. Feed you information from inside.""And if she doesn’t believe you?""Then I’m dead. But at least we’ll try."Elena stood nearby, bandaged but alive. "I hate this plan.""You have a better one?" Celeste asked."Yeah. Run. Disappear. Start over.""That’s not living. That’s hiding."Mila came forward, still weak but steady. "I think you should do it."Everyone turned to her."Why?" Celeste asked

Chapter: Chapter 84: The Lovers’ Pact"I'm done running."Celeste stood inside the antique church as rain hammered the roof. She had texted Damien the deal with and told him to come alone. He came — soaked, tired, but there."Me too," he said quietly.They stood still, just staring. No words, only a silence that stated the whole lot."I am sorry," Celeste stated at last. "For pushing you away. For not trusting you. For all of it.""Don’t," Damien said. "I get it. I probably would’ve done the same.""Would you?"He smiled slightly. "Maybe not. But I understand why you did."Celeste stepped closer. "Mila’s gone. Rylan’s making his move. My mother’s closing in. We’re out of time and out of human beings.""So what do we do now?""Now we stop fighting each other. We combat them. Collectively."Damien let out a quiet snort. "I thought you’d never say that."They sat on a broken pew. The church became old and bloodless, however in some way it felt secure — just like the world couldn’t attain them right here."Tell me the truth,"

Chapter: Chapter 83: Rising from Ruin"He's expecting you inside."The shield stepped aside. Celeste stared at the door. Her father’s vintage property — the area in which she grew up. Now owned by Rylan."You don’t ought to do that," Damien said beside her."Sure, I do."She’d gotten the message three hours in the past. Rylan desired to fulfill. on my own. He had a suggestion."I’m coming with you," Damien stated."He said alone.""I don’t care what he said.""Damien. I need to do this myself.""He’ll kill you.""Maybe. But I don’t think so. He wants something. Otherwise, I’d already be dead."They’d escaped her mother’s compound two days ago. Barely. Elena had created a distraction, and that they ran. Now they had been hiding, making plans, looking to parent out their next move.Then Rylan’s message came.Celeste walked to the door, paused, and looked again at Damien."If I’m no longer out in thirty minutes—""I’m coming in. I know."She went inside. The house appeared the same — vintage fixtures, circle of relatives pic

Chapter: Chapter 82: The House of Ashes"My parents died because of your mother."Damien dropped the file on the table. Photos spilled out — old, grainy, but clear enough. Celeste’s mother, younger, standing over two bodies."What is this?" Celeste whispered."The truth. The real one. Not the story she fed you."They were in a cheap motel room. Run down. Safe for now. After Liam’s death, they’d scattered and regrouped here.Celeste picked up a photo and stared. Her mother’s face — cold, a gun in her hand."When was this taken?" she asked."Twenty years ago. The night my parents were executed.""Executed. Not killed in a war.""No. Murdered. In cold blood, while they slept."Celeste’s hands shook. She set the photo down. "How did you get these?""I’ve been digging for years. Finally found someone who was there. They sent the files before they died.""Who?""Doesn’t matter. They’re dead now."Celeste sat. Her legs wouldn’t hold her. "Tell me everything."Damien’s face was hard and tired. "My family, the Crosses — we weren’t m
