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 27: Heart vs MissionCeleste sat on the ground of the darkish bunker, conserving her mother’s final letter. She had examined the phrases again and again, hoping they would trade.But they didn’t.> “You were never meant to love Damien. He was the target.”Her hands shook. Her coronary heart felt like it was about to interrupt into pieces. She had trusted her mother. She had fallen for Damien. Now she didn’t know what to think.Her chest felt tight. Her head hurt.Was her whole life just a setup?Did her mother use her?Did Damien know?She wiped her eyes. She had to do something. She couldn’t sit there forever.She picked up her phone.Her thumb hovered over Damien’s name. She didn’t know if he would answer. She didn’t even know what she would say.But she hit the call button anyway.It rang once.Twice.Then he answered.“Celeste?”His voice made her heart ache.She didn’t answer at first.“Celeste?” he said again, sounding worried.“I found something,” she said.A pause.“What did you find?”“Letters.

Chapter: Chapter 26: The underground truth Celeste stood in the dark hallway under the villa. Her heart beat fast. In front of her was a door with no handle. Only a keypad and a strange symbol carved into the wall — a snake wrapped around a sword.She had seen that symbol before. It was on the file called Project Callisto.She typed her mother’s birthday.Nothing.She tried her own.Still nothing.She stepped back, feeling nervous. Then her fingers touched the bracelet on her wrist. It had once belonged to her mother.She stared at it. Maybe…She held the bracelet near the keypad.A beep.Then a soft click.The wall started to slip open.Behind it turned into a staircase going down into darkness.Celeste hesitated. Her feet felt heavy. However she couldn’t stop right now. She had to understand what was down there.She took one step.Then another step.The air grew chillier as she went deeper. It smelt like dust and old stone.Finally, she reached a wide room. It was quiet. A table stood in the middle, covered in papers, photos

Chapter: Chapter 25: Island of liesThe island was too quiet.Celeste stepped off the small boat, her boots crunching within the path of the gravel-protected dock. The air smelled like sea salt and antique roses. The villa loomed at the hill above—white stone walls, crimson roof tiles, and lengthy, shuttered home windows that watched like silent eyes.No guards. No welcome party. Just stillness.She took a deep breath and commenced taking walks. Her bag bounced on her shoulder, the notice from the hacker tucked deep inside."Trust no one.If she smiles, run."That was the warning.But Celeste had come this far. Alone. No, Damien. No backup. Just questions.She reached the villa’s arched front doors and knocked once. They opened before her hand could fall a second time.A tall woman in a silk dress stood inside the doorway. Her face looked like someone else's was stretched over it—smiling however stiff, fashionable however empty.“You must be Celeste,” the woman said. Her voice was cool and sharp. “I’m your aunt. Call me

Chapter: Chapter 24: Ghost Protocol The office door slammed behind him. Celeste stood frozen by the open safe, the “Project Callisto” file still in her hands. Damien's cold voice echoed in her head: "You said no more lies."She wanted to scream. To chase after him. To explain.But what would she say?That she was scared? That she didn’t know who to trust anymore?She pressed her hand in opposition to her chest. Her coronary heart thudded painfully.Celeste shoved the report again into the safe and closed it, her arms shaking. She had crossed a line. Perhaps there has been no going again.A vibration from her cellphone pulled her out of the spiral. It was another unknown number. Same as the one that sent her the doll.UNKNOWN: “Meet me. Rooftop. 10 minutes. “No, Damien.”Her fingers tightened around the phone.Was this a trap?Or another clue?She didn’t care anymore. She needed answers. And she needed them now.— Ten minutes later, Celeste stepped onto the rooftop, the bloodless wind sweeping her hair around her face.

Chapter: Chapter 23: Fractured Trust The night air outside Damien’s mansion changed into cold and nevertheless. Inside, it becomes worse—irritating, quiet, just like the partitions have been listening. Celeste walked slowly down the clean hallway. Her feet were quiet on the thick rug. Damien hadn’t spoken to her since they had a fight in the car.Since he showed her the truth about their families. Since the Viper sent that warning.The past isn’t dead. It’s hunting you both. The words echoed in her thoughts like a curse, but Celeste wasn’t thinking about the past anymore. She was thinking about secrets. Damien’s secrets. And tonight, she was done waiting for him to give her answers.She reached his office door. It was locked, of course. But she had studied his movements for weeks now. She knew the passcode: 1104. Her birthday.The door clicked open.Inside, the office became dim, the handiest light coming from the metropolis via tall home windows. The whole lot became sharp and managed—leather chairs, a dark table, an
