My Genius Twins Brought Me Good Fortune!
Exactly Five years ago, I discovered my union with my ex-husband was all a cruel lie. Before we married, my best friend Mirabel had introduced him to me as her brother. He was a poor talented but unrecognized fashion designer then, so I picked him up and helped him build his career with my father’s wealth. We later got married, and he eventually coerced me to sign off my father’s asset to his name and reeled by my undying love for him, I did. I trusted and believed that nothing could ever break us apart that I never saw Austin’s betrayer coming! First, I found out my best friend wasn’t his sister. They were a couple who had been having an affair under my nose, and it had been their plans to steal my heirloom. More heartbreaking enough, the day I found out was the day I discovered I was pregnant after three years of marriage. Austin, having gotten what he wanted, divorced me and threw me on the street with his seed growing inside me. He didn’t know, and I never intended to tell him. All I wanted was to hurt him back and take back everything he stole from him. However, helpless and left with nothing, I couldn't fight Austin back. I relocated to another city where I gave birth to twins who had rare talents. Five years later, their Talents brought me unexpected fortune. Now the most powerful and influential woman in the world, I could finally bring my bastard ex-husband to his knees... As if fate was on my side, everything fell right into place until it all came crumbling down again!

Chapter: Chapter 6Cassandra's POV Theophilus walked not too far from the car until we turned a corner, then he nodded at the driver and after that I didn't see him again. I didn't get a chance to say more than a few words to him, but I still couldn't get Austin’s face out of my head. Gideon cleared his throat. "We have a lot to handle today," he said calmly, but I understood more than ever. "I know," I whispered. "I just...I didn't expect him to be so...there. right after the meeting." Gideon’s eyes met mine. "He'll come up with something. Austin never does something small." I nodded slowly, as I thought about his words.My mind went back to the reporters, the cameras, the whispers. Every image of me walking out with Gideon, every image of my smile. By the time we reached my penthouse, the news was everywhere. My phone vibrated non-stop. My hands almost shook as I read the headlines. "Cassandra Langston Takes GX Designs:Austin Barker Out." "The Woman Behind the Genius Twins Recla

Chapter: Chapter 5Cassandra's POV. I felt my body move forward. For a second , I thought, Not again. Please not here or now.Just then, I felt an arm wrapped around my waist.I stopped.A warm chest blocked my fall. It was that familiar scent of sandalwood. I held on to the suit as quickly as I could."Easy," a calm voice whispered. "I've got you."My eyes flew open.It was him.Theophilus.His face was just inches away from mine. His hands still stayed around my waist.But why was he running before?That didn't matter anymore right?"You almost hit the floor, Cassandra," he said quietly."I noticed," I whispered, my breath shaky. "Thank you... for...um... thank you for catching me.""I didn't catch you." He smiled softly. "I saved you."Despite everything going on, I laughed, almost embarrassed. "Same thing."He shook his head. "Not to me."My cheeks were red.My heart pounded too fast, too loud."Are you hurt?" He asked, scanning my face."No..just suprised." I continued. "You were running a

Chapter: Chapter 4Cassandra’s pov The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, and every head in the lobby turned. The sound of heels on polished stone followed, deliberate, and unhurried. I hadn’t realized until that moment how much silence power could command. Gideon Storm walked beside me, tall and composed in his charcoal suit, radiating the kind of authority that made people straighten their spines. His hand brushed lightly against my back, not possessive or creepy, just grounding. He reminded me more of my father with every passing day, like Anthony Langston himself had come to help his daughter rise to the top again. “Ready?” he murmured. I gave a small nod, my gaze fixed on the double doors ahead that led to the consortium meeting. The same doors I’d once entered as a silent wife, trailing behind Austin Barker. Today, I walked through them as Cassandra Langston, the woman behind the alias Celestia Atelier, mother of the prodigies the world called the Genius Twins, and soon-to-be

Chapter: Chapter 3Cassandra’s POVFour years later, the rain sounded different to me.It was softer and friendlier somehow. It tapped against the window of my small apartment like it was checking in.The city wasn’t the kind that glittered, there were no high towers, no noise that swallowed thought. Just the hum of buses, the smell of fresh bread from the bakery below, and the quiet rhythm of people making an honest living.My sewing machine filled most of the room. The table beside it was stacked with fabric rolls and sketches stained by different kinds of food items. This place wasn’t much. It was a single room, a narrow kitchen, and a bathroom with a shower that sighed every time I turned it on, but it was mine. Everything inside it had been paid for with my hands.I worked late most nights, stitching gowns for neighborhood weddings, adjusting school uniforms, and fixing torn sleeves. I’d learned to measure worth in stitches instead of money.Behind me, loud —very very loud— laughter erupted.“Simon

Chapter: Chapter 2Cassandra’s POVThe morning after felt unreal. Like someone had pressed mute on my life.I woke up to my phone buzzing incessantly with countless messages from my bank and my accountant.“Unauthorized transfer.”“Account frozen.”“Urgent, call me.”By the time I reached the closet to grab my robe, I already knew something was terribly wrong.The screen of my phone lit up with another notification. My credit cards had been declined. The joint accounts I had with Austin had been closed.Even my mansion had been sold.My breath caught and my hand holding my phone shook as I stared at the message again, rereading it until the words stopped making sense.The house, my house, it was gone.Austin had really sold it overnight.By the time the news channels picked it up, I was sitting on the floor of the living room of my spare apartment.“Fashion mogul Austin Barker acquires full rights to Olvera textiles.”My father’s company. The one I inherited when he died. The one he had put his sweat in

Chapter: Chapter 1Cassandra’s POVI checked my reflection anxiously one last time before stepping out of the elevator. My gown shimmered faintly under the hotel lights, it was a soft gold that hugged my waist and fell in silky folds to my ankles. Austin always said gold looked like it was made for my skin.I hoped he liked it.My heart was beating too fast. I told myself it was simply my excitement. He had called that afternoon, his voice smooth and low in my ear. “Come to the private suite at The Crest tonight. I have a surprise for you.”I had immediately rushed to check the calendar the moment the call ended, only to see that there was no special event we had going on.I was confused to say the least. Austin never spontaneously planned romantic getaways.The receptionist had smiled when I gave her my name, but the smile faltered halfway through. Her eyes lingered on me softly, before she looked away. It was strange enough to make me pause.“Suite 807,” she said quickly.“Thank you.”Her gaze dropped
