Chapter: Need To Move On
Louisa had a long bath. Her mind was whirling with regrets and helpless to stop it, she just lay in the tub, defeated. Everything was crumbling down and the rocks were hitting her hard, insistent on wounding her. Everything had been a lie. First was Ryan. He's been using her while he had a lover. Then, Ryan's mom lied about her non-existent cancer. Then there's Yolanda that fooled her. Gosh, she felt really stupid. Since when did she get so gullible? Isn't she the self assured Louisa Blackwood? The badass? Why didn't she just trust her guts. It kept screaming at her that everything is fake!Everyone's fake!Except Alex! Alex who loves her. Who's trying to make things right. Oh goodness!.She sprang up from the top, cleaned up and rushed out to the kitchen where his handsome face came into view. He was wearing an apron, holding a tray of food."I thought you might be hungry." He gave a small smile, staring at her dazed look. "We need to talk, soon." He's made a decision that'll fav

Chapter: What She's Missing
General:Alex pulled Louisa away protectively, opening the car door for her. She was too exhausted to argue or fight so he got her in without a hitch. Besides, she would rather be anywhere but with that shameless bastard. There's nothing more to consider. She needs a break from all of them. She needs to go back to her babies – they'll never betray her or leave her.... Yet. She just need to sleep. For long. And she'll try not to get angry. Alex shot Ryan a murderous glare before zooming off. Ryan sighed, looking dead already. He's given up. Louisa will never forgive him again. He's officially lost her. "I'm sorry you had to see that." Alex brought up after a while."Don't talk to me." She said agitatedly and Alex nodded sadly. "You're not any different, anyway."None of them were smiling after what just happened Louisa couldn't believe Ryan. He didn't want to admit that he did something wrong and it's only worsening how she felt right now. How dare he? Is that who she'd have marri

Chapter: She's Mine Now
Louisa:Gosh the guts of this asshole."One silly mistake? You're hooking up with other ladies for gs....""I'm sorry, Louisa. I know I messed up," Ryan said, his voice laced with a charm that only infuriated me further. "It was a mistake.." "A mistake? You call cheating on me a mistake?" I spat, my anger boiling over. "You're not even sorry, are you? You're just sorry you got caught."Ryan took a step closer, his eyes locked on mine. "Of course, I'm sorry. I love you, Louisa. You're the only one I want to be with.""Save it, Ryan," I snapped, rolling my eyes. "If you loved me, you wouldn't have been hooking up with those...those..." I couldn't even bring myself to say the words.Ryan sighed, his expression turning contrite. "I know I messed up, but I promise it meant nothing. It was just a stupid mistake, a lapse in judgment. I swear, it'll never happen again."I laughed, a harsh, bitter sound. "You expect me to believe that? After everything you've done?" I shook my head, feeling a

Chapter: "Silly Mistake."
Louisa:"Ma'am Louisa!" The maid Maria gasped in unconcealed shock. She nearly dropped the bowl she was holding as she stared at me nervously. "Are you... is ... you're awake?" She asked in a strained voice. It looked like she was going to pass out. She certainly didn't expect to see me– awake and well!"Yeah, so get the fúck out of my way "I growled, clenching my fists.She shot a despairing glance at my clenched fists, ready to strike if she tried anything, and moved away, terror still evident in her eyes.Good. Because, so help me, I would've barreled right through her. I was so pissed, hot waves of anger filling my insides like acid. Ryan had fúcking tricked me, lying to me right from the beginning. How dare he?? Those assholes! I want nothing to do with them anymore. It was over. I was done being a pawn in their stupid games. It turns out, no one can be trusted Then there's Alex....With the maid out of the way, I rushed out through the gates, walking home, trying so hard to si

Chapter: Tricked, Fooled And Betrayed.
Louisa:I knew I had to get out of there, and fast. I quietly got up from the bed and began to make my way to the door, my heart pounding in my chest. I had to escape, and I had to do it now. But then, I was curious. What if I got it all wrong?I tiptoed down the hallway, trying to make as little noise as possible. But as I turned a corner, I noticed someone coming in my direction. I quickly hid behind a nearby pillar, holding my breath as I watched Ryan approach.One second and I would've been caught. I squinted my eyes trying to get a clear view. Oh, he wasn't alone. He was with that girl, the one I had seen him with at the mall. The one he had held hands with, looking angry and possessive. My eyes widened as I watched them. He looked irascible as he pulled her roughly behind him. "You're so lucky she's asleep! What the fuck are you doing here?" " Oh, wow, Ryan. Aren't you supposed to be busy like last time? I'm surprised you let your maids usher me in " she rolled eyes and I watc

Chapter: True Colors.
Louisa: I wasn't what to expect as I kept walking. But when I reached a dead end – a door on the wall,I knew I was lost. I forgot my direction and now I'm in the wrong place. Damnit! Is his house this big and confusing? I needed to get downstairs and see who the hell is making them queasy with fright. I needed to understand these liars. Ryan wanted to drug me.His mom is a pathetic liar. I now understood. She wanted me to marry her son, so faking her condition would do just fine. I mean, who'd refuse a sickly, dying woman's last wish? Certainly not me – as she expected.I can't take anymore of this deception. I'm calling off the marriage. I won't be with a bunch of deceptive people. But first, I needed to get out of here in one piece.I went back the way I came, nearly bumping into a maid. She gasped on seeing me."Ma'am Louisa." She breathed, nervously.She was holding out the glass of wine that Ryan offered to give me. She looked slightly nervous. "Here you are, miss," she said,

Revenge On My Ex-husband With His Ruthless Mafia Brother

Revenge On My Ex-husband With His Ruthless Mafia Brother

Delilah thought she married the perfect man. Charming. Respectable. Devoted. But then she discovered the man she trusted was a fraud — cheating behind her back, controlling her every move, and secretly stealing from the people who once believed in him. Her marriage wasn’t love. It was a trap. And when she lost the child she was carrying, alone, abandoned, and broken in a cold hospital bed, everything shattered. That’s when he returned. Thorne Weston. The estranged, adopted brother her husband never spoke of. The boy who once made her college life hell — cruel words, wicked smirks and relentless taunts. He's her tormentor. Her shadow. The one who looked at her like he wanted to ruin her… and maybe always did. He disappeared after graduation. Vanished. Forgotten. But now he’s back — colder, richer, and far more dangerous. And he’s watching her. And when she breaks down in the hospital, barely breathing through grief, he corners her in the shadows and makes her an offer that freezes her blood — and sets her body ablaze. “You want revenge? I want you. Be mine… and I’ll destroy him for you.” She should scream. She should hate him. But hate doesn’t explain the fire curling in her belly every time he whispers her name. Hate doesn’t make her knees tremble when he steps too close, smelling of smoke, leather, and sin. And hate isn’t what makes her crave the rough, twisted salvation only he can give. Because Thorne Weston is no longer a cruel boy with a chip on his shoulder. He’s a man forged in violence. Obsessed. Possessive. Unhinged. And he doesn’t just want her — he owns her. Body. Soul. And every shattered piece her husband left behind.

Chapter: 24: Don't Go Digging.
Delilah POV I stomped through the entire building like a woman out fot blood. I couldn't get the image of the bloody hickeys all over my freaking neck!My skin still burned, my neck littered with angry red hickeys that peeked past the stiff collar of my blouse. Perfect. A goddamn board meeting and I looked like I just got mauled by a vampire in heat.Where the hell was Thorne?He better not disappear this fucking time. I threw open doors, ignored startled employees, and kept moving until the faint sound of cutlery clinking reached my ears.The executive lounge.Of course.I burst in and there he was—sprawled out like some smug prince of chaos, devouring eggs like the world hadn’t tilted an hour when he put his damn mouth on me. My glare could’ve set the room on fire. He didn’t even flinch as he just kept chewing, barely acknowledging my fiery presence.I marched up to him, fists clenched. “You arrogant, territorial bastard,” I seethed, my voice low but vibrating with rage. “How dar

Chapter: 23: Dirty Secrets
Cheryse's POV My hands trembled as I stirred the tomato sauce, the wooden spoon clattering slightly against the pot. I bit my lip, trying to force a smile into place—I always looked better when I smiled—and reached for the chopping board to slice the parsley.But my mind wouldn’t shut up.He looked different.So fúcking detached, as if he was second-guessing everything, which shouldn't be happening. He’d kissed me. Carried me. Held me like I mattered. That had to mean something, right?Right?Then why did it feel like he wasn’t really there?Three years. Three damn years of my life I had given him—wasted on secret phone calls, hiding from paparazzi, being the woman in the dark. And then finally… I won. Delilah left, the divorce came, and Caleb came back to me. Three years ago, months after his marriage,he chased me down. He said he should’ve never let me go back in college and that he married Delilah because of his father. That it was all arranged. That he didn't want her– but me.

Chapter: 22: Both Of Them.
Caleb POV:I didn't love her. I didn't fucking love her. Me? Love Delilah? No way! Our marriage was simply one of convenience. My dad had assured me that I could divorce her once she gives birth. But she only got pregnant three years later. I spun around, jaw clenched. “You don’t get to talk about love. You don’t even know what the word means.”“You remember what you said, right?” she whispered, tracing circles on my chest. “When we first started sneaking around… You promised you'd marry me if you ever left her.”I exhaled hard, tension riding my spine like chains.She looked up at me with puppy eyes and fake vulnerability. “You said you were going to give me everything she took for granted.”I nodded slightly, swallowing the lump in my throat. “Yeah,” I muttered, “I remember.”And I did.I remembered the exact moment. I was drunk on resentment, high on revenge sex, whispering false promises in the backseat of my Bentley while Delilah slept alone in our cold mansion. I was so angry t

Chapter: 21: Angry.
Caleb's POV:The car rolled to a stop at my house. Finally, I was out of jail. Fuck whoever laughed at my downfall, fuck the media. Caleb Weston was back.The press had mostly been silenced—thanks to my father pulling strings no mortal should have—but a few gutter blogs still dared to leak headlines: Fraud Prince Returns, Weston Heir or Weston Scandal? They couldn’t print the truth, but they could whisper it like poison.I adjusted my cuffs as I stepped out of the blacked-out SUV, boots crunching against the gravel that led to the Weston estate. I was supposed to feel relieved.But instead, my headache throbbed like a war drum.Then I spotted Maxwell outside. He was covered with mud, shrieking with joy as he charged across the front lawn.“DADDY!!”My two-year-old son launched at me like a missile of pure chaos. His shirt was inside out, there were grass stains on his knees, and a leaf—an actual leaf—was stuck in his hair. I blinked in disbelief as his tiny arms wrapped around my legs

Chapter: 20: Fucking Hickeys.
Delilah’s POVI stared at the message a moment longer before deleting it. No way in hell. I'm not doing this with him. There's no hesitation anymore. Caleb is past and that's what he'll ever be. My thumb hovered over the block button. I didn’t blink as I blocked him. My heart was still thumping like it was trying to leap out of my chest, I set the phone down and leaned back into the velvet couch. “Absolutely not,” I muttered under my breath. “He must think I’m stupid, high, or hypnotized.”No way in hell.He doesn’t get to pop up like some wounded soul after throwing me into the fire and acting like he didn’t strike the match himself. I ran my hand through my hair, already pissed.I dropped my hands on the table and unfortunately, knocked over my damn coffee.“Shit—!” I gritted as the cold liquid splashed across my lap, soaking the sleek nude-toned satin of my dress. Damn, why do so I have to be clumsy right now?I jumped to my feet, cursing, the coffee already staining. “God, can I

Chapter: 19: Tempted To See Him
Delilah’s POVTHE NEXT DAY…I was going to throw up.Okay, maybe not actually, but the way my stomach was twisting as the car pulled up to Aetherion Tower? Yeah. Vomit wasn’t off the table.The building loomed above me like a monument to power. Sleek. Cold. Silver and black glass stretching into the sky like it wanted to touch the heavens.The logo gleamed at the top—an abstract A woven into an ouroboros. Endless power. Endless reach!!!My name was on the ownership documents.Me.Delilah fucking Weston! Damn!“I can’t breathe,” I whispered.Beside me, Naomi flipped down the sun visor, touched up her lip gloss, and rolled her eyes. “Girl. You’re about to walk into the most powerful company in America, with a black card, a title, and a fine-ass man who’d burn buildings just to make sure you got the last slice of cheesecake. Breathe.”I laughed—nervously, obviously. Thank goodness she’s here. I’d probably forget how to breathe without my emotional support bestie. After the overwhelming we
