REBIRTH OF THE FORGOTTEN WIFE
She gave up everything—her inheritance, her influence, her voice—for a man who never loved her.
Eliana Moore was the heiress to a billion-dollar empire in Manhattan. Poised, soft-spoken, and hopelessly in love, she walked away from it all to marry Ethan Blake—the man who owned her heart but never returned her love. For years, she lived in silence, enduring a cold marriage while Ethan gave his heart to her best friend, Ivy.
Until betrayal turned fatal.
When Ivy’s final act of cruelty takes Eliana’s life, she awakens in the past—on the morning of her wedding day—with every painful memory intact. This time, she won’t make the same mistakes. This time, she won’t love blindly. She won’t surrender her life for anyone.
From pawn to power player, Eliana embarks on a journey of self-discovery, calculated revenge, and ruthless transformation. The woman who once lived in the shadows is gone. In her place stands a force no one saw coming.
But rewriting fate comes at a cost—and as Eliana rises, she must choose between vengeance and the chance to love again… this time, on her own terms.
The Rebirth of the forgotten wife is a gripping tale of heartbreak, second chances, and the strength it takes to rise from the ashes.

I called off the engagement already.” She whined but her aunty was not having any of it.“I’ll call you whatsoever I choose and there’s nothing you can do about it and you’d be silly to think I can’t find out whatever information I want.” Her aunt said sounding somewhat smug.“I know.” Eliana muttered to herself.“Did you say something?” Her aunty asked.“No, not at all.” She lied.“Of course. Now come along we have somewhere to be.” She said turning and walking ahead.“I can’t auntie, not now. I have somewhere more important to be.”She said looking at Lucian.Her aunt caught her look.“A boy! How inappropriate. Is this why you called off the wedding? So you could be with boys!” She said.Eliana restrained the urge to roll her eyes.“No, auntie and he’s not just any boy. You’d

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-Six: The planEliana pretended not to have heard anything. “What? I asked a question didn’t I?” She said diving into her ice cream.Lucian dropped his fork and stared at her.“Surely you don’t expect me to know that?”he asked bewildered.She licked her fingers.“Surely I do, because you’re always around me. Popping up at the right places, not to mention the right times.” She said.Lucian rolled his eyes.“As if that is enough reason.” He said digging into his food again.“Of course it is. You know something don’t lie to me.” She said.Lucian was quiet for a while.“I don’t know anything, but I can find out. It won’t be that hard.” He said.Eliana licked her fingers. “That’s the spirit.” She said smiling.They soon finished eating and they were on their way back to school. “We part here,” She said to him when they reached. He smiled at her.”Thanks for the privilege of your time.” The smile he gave was mischievous.There was a glint in her eyes when she smiled at him.”Don’t forget your promise ,

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-Five: Asking QuestionsThe next day Eliana went to classes acting like everything was normal but inside she was planning.She hired a private investigator to look into professor Hayes’s husband. As expected he was the typical lowlife . He was just like Ethan, minus the wealth and prestige.On behalf of Her professor she had filed a restraining order against him, preventing in from coming near her for anything. What made the situation worse was that he’d takes out a life insurance in her name. It was obvious what he had been planning, the only thing he hadn’t expected was for his wife to survive the heart attack.Eliana was determined to make him regret every of his actions. She got to the music room for her rehearsals. Leonard was there. He’d been avoiding her since the night of the competition and her accident. She had more than enough reasons to suspect that he had a hand in what transpired but it was merely a suspicion. She had nothing tangible to lay a case against him. “Hey.” She turned to look. It w

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-four: Can I rewrite the past ?It was either she or ivy.She made efforts to contact her husband but it proved futile. Apparently , no one knew her husband. She made contact with her parents though and they brought her kid aged 5 to see her.“Thank you very much dear,” Professor Hayes’s mother said when they arrived the hospital and had seen their daughter. “You’re welcome. I’m glad I could be of help.”“What of her husband ? I’ve been trying to reach him since but there has been no response.” The older woman sighed. “He’s nothing to write home about. He’s the one who put her in this state. He won’t show up here. He knows what will happen to him if he does.” She explained. Eliana was dumbfounded. Had fate been so cruel as to completely switched whatever happened with her to professor Hayes? She thanked the woman and left the hospital. She had classes to attend, she still didn’t know who had wanted her killed and now this. It was a lot to handle. But she would deal with it. One step at a time. The following da

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-Three: Switched At St. Jude’s, the air hung heavy with the scent of antiseptic and unspoken grief. She found Professor Hayes’s room, a sterile white box where a single IV pole stood guard. She lay still, her face ashen, a tube snaking into her nose. A nurse, a kind-faced woman with tired eyes, was adjusting her monitors. “Excuse me,” Eliana whispered, her voice hoarse. “How is she?” The nurse looked up, her expression sympathetic. “she's stable for now, but it was a massive stroke. The doctors are doing everything they can, but… it’s touch and go. She's been unresponsive since she arrived.” Unresponsive. Just like her, in those final moments, her body failing, her mind screaming. “Was she… was she alone when it happened?” Eliana asked, the question feeling heavy on her tongue. The nurse nodded slowly. “Yes, in her studio. A student found him. Said she’d been complaining of headaches for a few days, but brushed it off. We found a couple of broken bones and some fractured skull when she came i

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-Two : Fate can't be changed. “Good,” Eliana stated, the word clipped and precise. She wouldn't let the past weigh her down now. “Everything is proceeding as planned. She’s taken the bait, hook, line, and sinker.” “It’s almost too easy,” Loretta murmured, a note of unease creeping into her voice. “Don’t you think? Ivy, the cunning viper she is, just walking into this… it feels a little off.” “She thinks she’s winning,” Eliana corrected, a slow, deliberate cadence to her words. “She’s always wanted what I had. Now, she believes she’s finally achieved it. Her ambition blinds her, Loretta. It always has.” “Still,” Loretta pressed, a slight frown audible in her voice. “I’m worried, Eliana. This whole ‘transferring fate’ business… are you sure it works like that? Are you sure you’re truly out of the woods?” Eliana’s fingers tightened around the phone. A shiver, cold and unwelcome, traced its way down her spine. The rational part of her scoffed at the idea of fate being a transferable commodity, a cursed heirloo

The Devil Who Bought Me
Natalie Grimaldi has always been a fighter. Rebellious, sharp-tongued, and unwilling to break under pressure, she’s spent most of her life enduring the cruelty of her uncle, Gideon Grimaldi , a greedy man who raised her only to use her as a pawn.
When Gideon announces that she’s to marry Viktor Roman, a Russian billionaire twice her age, in exchange for a debt settlement, Natalie is furious, broken and frustrated. On the day of the wedding something unexpected happens she is claimed in a contract marriage by California's most feared Italian Mafia family, LORENZO DE LUCA.
She finds herself being sold twice!!
Lorenzo doesn't know her name, doesn't care about her except his own gains(the real reason he bought her) but something in her fire, her refusal to bow, stirred something long buried in him. He buys her for something much more deeper —nothing more. But Natalie refuses to break. Even as he claims her body, her life, she hides her heart, planning escape, revenge, and freedom.
But the longer she remains under Lorenzo's roof, the more she begins to see cracks in his stone facade: his silence, his shadows, his haunting grief and most of all HIS SECRET. The real reason he bought her. And against every wall she’s built, Natalie begins to feel the tug of something she vowed never to give him—sympathy. Maybe even more.
As Natalie secretly builds her own power, forging connections and learning the dark truths behind Lorenzo's empire, she must face the hardest question of all:
Can she destroy the man who bought her, if he’s the first one who ever saw her?
Or will she fall for the devil who was never meant to love?

Chapter: Chapter Seventy-Two: RevengeLorenzo stared at her not fully understanding what she meant but realizing that it could change everything.“What do you mean cara?” He asked. Natalie pulled out of his embrace. “Your best friend’s death wasn’t related to me. It just happened that I was in the area when he died.” She said.Lorenzo’s eyes narrowed.“And what might you have been doing there?” He asked.“Running from my uncle. It wasn’t the first time , from time to time I always tried to run away. But I never succeeded. Mostly because I had nowhere to go. I lived a secluded life with my parents and I wasn’t allowed to go anywhere else. I didn’t know where to go.” She said.“And yet you kept escaping.” Lorenzo said a smile tugging at his lips.Natalie smiled despite herself.“I did. The times I was outside allowed me to think , to be free, to truly live. I spent the hours before the guards found me to think of all the wonderful things I could do once I got out. Hope was what kept me going. Aside that, I was dead insid

Chapter: Chapter Seventy-One: She Remembers.“That’s what she has on me. My family. The whole of them. She killed my elder brother in front of his whole family just to prove her point.”Fiona was crying now.“That’s the deal. That’s the reason I have to turn you over. Because my family is worth more to me than a thousand Natalies!” She cried.It shouldn’t have stung when she said it but it did. She understood her rage and her desperation. But it didnt make the betrayal any less painful,“You think Esmeralda is the only one who can pull strings? I’d have the whole of your generation wiped out this instant before she could even blink an eye.” Lorenzo said furiously.Fiona chuckled.“That’s how it is right? My insignificant family is just a pawn in you rich people’s game. You can wipe them off the face of the earth? We’ll go on ahead and do it! We’re dead anyways.” She cried.“Fiona..” Natalie began but she was shut.“I don’t care what you guys do to me. All I wanted was to work in peace find a way to improve myself and my lot in l

Chapter: Chapter Seventy: More SecretsLorenzo pulled Natalie into his embrace and hugged her tightly.“Cara...” She hugged him back grateful for the safety his presence brought.She let go after a while and turned to Fiona who was still on the floor trying to catch her breath. “Anita said you left already...” a dry laugh. “But it is obvious that this was just a trap for me.” She said casting a betrayed look at her and then Anita.Natalie took in a deep breath. If Fiona wanted to play the emotional black mail and guilt tripping game, she definitely wasn’t falling for it.“Fiona, I heard all of your conversation with Anita and trust me I have a lot of questions for you right now. I don’t even know where to begin.”Fiona scoffed.“Well, you’d begin by explaining why your husband is accusing me of colluding with some Esmeralda!” She cried.“And why you have those accusing eyes staring at me,” she added.Natalie stared, short for words.Then she chuckled. She knew what fiona was up to, she was going to play the clueless vict

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-Nine: EchoesFiona put the key into the keyhole , turned and pushed. It didn’t budge.They exchanged glances.“Huh? That’s strange. It can’t be bolted from inside unless someone is there.” Fiona said.Anita shrugged, relieved that the bolts were in place.Inside the storage room, Natalie slowly let out a relived breath. It had been hard to bolt the door without making any noise but she had done it. Now she only had to worry about Lorenzo arriving here on time.Fiona moved away from the door.“What are you hiding ?” Anita looked up startled.“Hid...hiding what ? I’m. I’m not hiding anything.” She said. Then made s show of looking at her watch.“I have to leave and lock up. Natalie’s instructions. You’ll come back for your stuff another day.”She turned to go.“You can go but I’m not going anywhere. I’ll lock up later.” Fiona said.Anita turned.“That’s not happening. Natalie’s instructions were to lock up the studio before leaving.”“And I’ll do that. You can go.”Fiona said.Anita was about to arg

And why did you lock it in the first place?”Anita racked her brain for an answer.“Uh. I was about going out.” She motioned for Natalie to hide while packing her bags and files.“Out? Natalie’s not in?” Fiona asked. Natalie went towards the storage room with her belongings wiping any trace that she’d been there that morning and hid then locked the door firmly. Keeping the key with her. She could still hear their voices outside.“Yes. She came in this morning then went home. Said she had some emergency to attend to.” Anita replied.“Emergency? And she didn’t let me know? And she’s supposed to make more copies of the new scent. Open the door already Annie!”Natalie heard the door open.“Sorry, You came back so soon.” Anita said.“Yh.

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-seven: Workplace betrayalWithin a week Natalie had gotten new replacements for her studio. The success of the competition, the release of a new scent and the press conference had all been huge successes , setting the stage for her to expand. She had started this with the aim of bringing Lorenzo down and taking full control of her inheritance but that seemed meaningless now. She had achieved much more than that. She had proved a point and gotten even more closer to her husband. In a few weeks they would be marking their one year in marriage. It seemed surreal. She was in the studio trying to duplicate the new scent when Anita walked in. Fiona was not in the office.“Hey boss.” She was bubbly and vibrant as usual.“What’s up?” Natalie replied not looking up from her worktable.“You asked me to watch your aunt. Well I have news for you.” Natalie’s ears perked up and she stopped what she was doing momentarily.“Talk.”“Well, she’s been shopping in a lot of high profile boutiques lately, and from the receipts
