The CEO’s Vengeful Bride
Five years ago, Elena Montrose’s world was destroyed when she was framed for a scandal that ruined her family—by none other than her ex-fiancé, the ruthless billionaire Damien Crest. Now, after years of plotting and hiding under a new identity, Elena returns with a burning vengeance, determined to take back everything she’s lost.
Her plan? To marry Damien and destroy his empire from within. But as she weaves her way into his life and heart once again, Elena discovers that Damien’s sins may not be as they seem. As their fiery chemistry reignites, Elena is faced with an impossible dilemma: will she continue her path of vengeance, or is there more to Damien’s story than she ever knew?
In a world where power and betrayal run deep, Elena must confront the ghosts of her past and the fierce love that refuses to die. As enemies old and new close in, the stakes rise higher. With secrets, lies, and corporate warfare threatening to consume them, Elena and Damien are forced to choose: their empire or their love? Will Elena’s quest for revenge tear them apart—or will it bind them together in a way neither of them ever expected?
The CEO’s Vengeful Bride is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, power, and redemption—where every choice is a battle, and every twist brings them closer to a truth that could either destroy or redeem them both.
Prepare for a rollercoaster of passion, danger, and heartbreak that will leave you breathless until the very last page.

Chapter: EPILOGUEElena POV – “YEARS LATER”The waves crashed like a distant memory - familiar, rhythmic, unthreatening.I stood on the deck of the home we never planned but somehow always needed. A coastal retreat carved out of the life we rebuilt not as CEO and vengeful heiress, but simply as two flawed people who chose each other, again and again.Damien was inside, singing badly to our daughter. She was three now fiery and fearless, already learning how to negotiate bedtime like it was a hostile takeover. Sometimes I wondered if she’d inherited my ruthlessness or Damien’s charm.Probably both. God help us.A breeze swept through, and I inhaled deeply. No perfume, no steel-and-glass skyline. Just salt, pine, and the faint scent of pancakes burning.We didn’t run from the past. We buried what needed burying, and carried what couldn’t be left behind. That’s the thing about trauma it doesn’t disappear. But if you face it with the right person, it softens.I still remember the moment I forgave him not wi

Chapter: Chapter 250 – “A New Dawn”The morning sun spilled across the quiet valley, golden light stretching over the fields like a benediction. For the first time in what felt like forever, the world wasn’t on fire. No whispers of betrayal, no looming shadows of power plays. Just birdsong, wind brushing through the trees, and the quiet hush of something sacred being born: peace.Elena stood barefoot on the porch of the modest lakeside cottage she and Damien had found weeks ago. She held a mug of coffee in her hands, steam rising in gentle curls, her robe tied loosely at the waist. The silk was a gift from Damien —unnecessary, she’d said, but secretly, she loved the way it felt against her skin. Luxurious and soft. Like freedom.Behind her, the door creaked open. Damien stepped out, his hair tousled from sleep, eyes still heavy with the comfort of dreams. He slid his arms around her waist from behind and pressed a kiss to the curve of her neck."You’re up early," he murmured.She leaned into him, her body still rememberi

Chapter: Chapter 249 – The Road to RedemptionThe silence in the Montrose estate was a hollow thing, vast and echoing. Once, the halls had been filled with the sound of rapid strategy meetings, whispered alliances, and the rhythm of a war machine in motion. Now, only Elena remained, and the weight of her empire rested solely on her shoulders. She stood at the window of her father’s old office; the Montrose crest gilded on the wall behind her, and felt none of the triumph that was supposed to come with victory.She had won. Luca was gone. The empire was hers.But what was an empire without the man she loved?Elena turned away from the window, gripping the back of the leather chair. Her reflection in the glass showed a woman hardened by fire and betrayal, her sharp cheekbones a little more defined, her eyes dulled by everything she’d sacrificed. She’d thought she could have both: the legacy and the love. She’d been wrong.The letter from Damien sat on the desk. She’d read it a dozen times. Each word had carved through her carefully

Chapter: Chapter 248 – “The Price of Victory”The war was over.Luca’s empire was rubble, his influence stripped away piece by piece until there was nothing left but dust and silence. And in its place… stood mine.The Montrose name now rang louder than ever across the global networks. News anchors whispered my name with awe. Investors scrambled to pledge allegiance. Leaders — once hesitant, even hostile — extended olive branches.But none of it felt like a victory.The marble halls of the Montrose estate gleamed under sterile chandeliers. Servants returned. Strategists met in polished rooms to discuss our next move. Rosa kept a schedule posted on my desk, color-coded and filled with meetings I couldn’t bring myself to attend.I had won.I had everything.And I had never felt more hollow.I stood in the throne room — not an actual throne, but that’s what they called it now. The command chamber. Where I made the decisions. Where I alone held the fate of this empire.And yet… all I could feel was the absence of the man who should’ve

Chapter: Chapter 247 – “Rebirth of the Empire”I had always believed power was forged in fire. But as the first explosions lit the sky over the southern ridge, I realized something else — power wasn’t just built in flames. It was reborn from ashes.And I had plenty of those.The final assault began just before dawn. A gray haze clung to the hills as if the world itself was holding its breath. I stood on the command line in body armor, not behind a desk, not hidden behind walls — but in the thick of it. At the front. Where I should’ve been all along.“Zone Three cleared,” came the voice over the comm. “Luca’s men are retreating toward the eastern trench. No civilians in the perimeter.”“Advance, but spare anyone who surrenders,” I replied coldly. “We end this clean.”My fingers tightened on the earpiece as I surveyed the chaos unfolding below the hill. Mortars rained smoke. Gunfire cracked through the trees. The sounds should have frightened me.Instead, they brought clarity.Luca’s forces were folding faster than expected. I had ex

Chapter: Chapter 246 – “The Final Choice”The silence before war is the loudest kind. I stood in the Montrose war room, though I’d long since stopped calling it that out loud - watching the live surveillance feeds flicker on the digital display. Outside these walls, my enemies moved like shadows in the night. Luca’s remaining forces had re-assembled, desperate for a final push to reclaim what they believed was theirs.And I… I was preparing to finish what we started.The air buzzed with electricity; tension thick enough to slice through with a knife. I should have been consumed by strategy, calculating odds, and preparing my final commands. But instead, my mind drifted elsewhere.To him.Damien.I hadn’t seen him since he walked away, his silhouette fading into the mist outside the estate gates, a ghost haunting the edges of my vision. That moment played on repeat in my mind, a loop I couldn’t break free from.I had chosen this life. This war – This empire.But now, as I stood on the edge of victory, the taste was bitter on m

Chapter: Epilogue, Author’s Note, Copyright & DisclaimerEpilogue: The Music Between MomentsThe world didn’t end in a courtroom. It didn’t end with bloodlines or betrayal, with vows broken or forgotten names.It kept turning – in the quiet spaces between things.In the clink of a breakfast plate.In the tiny sock lost under the couch. In a melody hummed absently while folding laundry. In the way Damon still looked at Juliette like she was the center of every sunrise.And in the way Juliette looked at him – no longer searching for what was lost, but grateful for what had been found.Their estate, once a battleground, had become something softer. Eden, now nearly six, filled the once-hollow halls with music and mischief. Her giggle could silence storms.Mason, now managing Thorne International continental branches. Mature, experienced and understand how to lead as a trustworthy leader with foresight.Juliette kept the journal on a shelf in the library. Not hidden. Not displayed. Just present like a truth no longer feared. Sometimes, when the

Chapter: Chapter 250: The Love That RememberedIt was early spring when the trees on the Thorne estate began to bloom again, brushing the air with soft pink petals and the scent of renewal. The breeze no longer carried heaviness; only the quiet murmur of life returning, roots settling deeper into the earth. And in the middle of it all, on the same wooden bench where a woman had once slept alone, three hearts now rested together – Juliette, Damon, and their daughter-Eden.The sky above them shifted from pale blush to rich gold, bathing the land in warmth, in peace. It was their anniversary – not just of their marriage, but of every moment that had led them here. The losses. The breaks. The miracles. The remembering.Juliette sat close to Damon, her hand curled around a small leather-bound journal, its cover worn from months of quiet use. She looked at him, eyes brighter than the dawn unfolding around them."I have something for you," she said softly, placing the journal in his lap.He raised an eyebrow, teasing. "Another surprise? Y

Chapter: Chapter 249: Full CircleSix Years Later:The Thorne estate had changed in subtle, beautiful ways.It began months ago when Evelyn Thorne returned, not with judgment or distance, but with grace. She came bearing the most precious gift of all: Mason.After years of keeping tabs on him through school to college as they went through the chaos, Evelyn came with him during this summer once the shadows had lifted, when the world around Damon and Juliette had finally begun to settle.Mason, now a thoughtful and sharp-eyed teenager, had stepped back into their lives with quiet strength. At fifteen, he stood taller, spoke wiser, and hugged his parents like someone who had waited too long to do so. That reunion has consolidated their healing.The halls once echoing with pain and silence now rang with laughter – the soft, high giggle of a five-year-old daughter named Eden Thorne. Her tiny footsteps pitter-pattered across the marble floors as she darted from room to room in a whirl of pink tulle and wild curls, her energy

Chapter: Chapter 248: The Letter to Our ChildThe fire crackled gently in the hearth, casting amber light across the walls of the Thorne estate’s restored study. The evening outside had darkened into a velvety quiet, and the only sounds within the house were the occasional pop of the wood and the scribble of a pen against thick, ivory parchment.Juliette sat cross-legged on the oversized armchair, her bump nestled beneath a soft sweater, a pen resting between her fingers. Damon sat on the rug in front of her, a leather-bound journal open across his lap. Between them lay a stack of stationery, old letters, and a cup of chamomile tea gone cold.They had spoken about it for weeks. Ever since the vow renewal, ever since the rain fell and the world felt baptized anew, they knew the time had come to document their journey – the truth. Not for the press, not for the world, but for the children and the next generation."We don’t have to make it perfect," Juliette murmured, her voice soft but certain.Damon looked up at her, the corners of

Chapter: Chapter 247: The Wedding That Was OursThe morning sun streamed gently through gauzy white curtains, casting soft golden beams across the hardwood floors of the restored Thorne estate. Outside, the sprawling garden pulsed with quiet life – the rustle of fresh leaves, the chirp of sparrows perched along the trellises Damon had painstakingly rebuilt by hand. It was peaceful, serene, like time itself had slowed to honor what was to come.Juliette stood by the window, fingers grazing the edge of the silk robe tied loosely around her waist. The scent of fresh roses drifted through the air, mingling with the scent of her favorite vanilla-laced lotion. Her heart thudded slowly, not with anxiety, but with reverent stillness.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today wasn’t a grand wedding. There was no orchestra, no guests, and no towering cake.And yet, today meant everything.“Are you ready?” Damon’s voice came gently from the door. He was dressed in a simple but tailore

Chapter: Chapter 246: Right Where We BelongThe sunlight streamed in through the tall windows of the Thorne estate, casting long golden rays across the hardwood floors. It was early – too early, maybe for breakfast or plans. But neither Damon nor Juliette cared. For the first time in what felt like lifetimes, there was no war to fight, no memory to chase, no ghosts clawing at the edges of their peace. There was only stillness.And stillness, for two souls long bruised by fire, felt like luxury.Juliette sat by the kitchen counter, barefoot, wearing one of Damon’s old button-down shirts over her nightgown. Her hair was loose, soft curls grazing her shoulders, and a cup of chamomile tea rested between her palms. She wasn’t thinking about tomorrow, or what might go wrong, or what might be stolen again.She was thinking about how Damon was standing by the stove, barefoot too, flipping pancakes with a focus that made her heart swell. He wore a plain white T-shirt, gray joggers, and that familiar furrow of concentration between his br
