The Billionaire's Greatest Loss: Ex-Wife Please Come Back

When he humiliates her one too many times, she walks away, ignoring the world’s bets that she’ll come crawling back. But Serena isn’t broken, she’s a dormant storm.
Months later, she resurfaces as the CEO of a revolutionary tech empire, her brilliance was undeniable. The same society that mocked her now clamors for her favor, including a Nobel-winning scientist, a Wall Street titan, and Hollywood’s biggest star all scrambling to be the new man in her life.
But Damien isn’t ready to let go. When he corners her, demanding to know if her child is his, Serena’s icy reply shatters him. “That’s none of your business, ex-husband, step aside!”
Now, the war is on. Old enemies circle like vultures, but Serena is no longer prey. One by one, they fall, until only one question remains.
How far will a broken man go when the woman he discarded becomes the queen of his ruin?

Chapter: Chapter 13THE WARNING(Serena's POV)The morning sun streamed through the windows of my office at Vaughn Innovations. It should have felt like victory. My company was worth half a billion dollars. I was free from the Blackwood family. I was building something new and clean.Instead, I felt like I was waiting for the other shoe to drop."You're brooding again." Elena walked into my office carrying two cups of coffee. She set one on my desk. "Decaf for the pregnant lady.""I'm not brooding. I'm thinking."Elena sat down across from me. Her red dress was perfectly pressed. Her makeup was flawless. But I could see worry lines around her eyes."About Eleanor being released?" She asked."About what she's planning." I rubbed my belly. The baby had been active all morning. Like they could sense my anxiety. "Eleanor doesn't accept defeat. She never has.""What can she do? You refused the inheritance. You're not part of the Blackwood family anymore. You have your own money, your own company, and your own

Chapter: Chapter 12THE PLAN(Damien's POV)Eleanor's smile made my blood turn to ice. She sat in her chair like a spider in the center of her web. Her red lips curved into something that looked like happiness but felt like death."What do you mean?" I asked. My voice came out weaker than I wanted.She stood up slowly. Her black silk dress moved like liquid shadow. "Serena thinks she can walk away from us. She thinks she can refuse the Blackwood family and live happily ever after."Eleanor walked to the window. Outside, the city spread below us like a chess board. "But there are rules in this world, Damien. Consequences for those who show disrespect."I watched her fingers trace patterns on the glass. "She's pregnant, Eleanor. With my child.""I know." Her voice was soft. Too soft. "Which makes this even more... personal."The way she said the word made my skin crawl. I'd seen Eleanor destroy people before. Business rivals who got too close to her secrets. Politicians who forgot their loyalty. Family mem

Chapter: Chapter 11THE RELEASE(Damien's POV)The prison gates opened like the jaws of a steel beast, grinding against their tracks with the sound of metal on metal. The noise echoed off the concrete walls that had held me for three days. Three days that felt like three years.I walked out into the gray morning light, my expensive Armani suit wrinkled and stained from my time behind bars. The fabric that had once made me feel invincible now hung on my frame like a costume from a play I no longer wanted to perform in. The air tasted like freedom and exhaust fumes, tinged with the promise of rain from the dark clouds gathering overhead.Photographers lined the sidewalk like vultures circling carrion, their cameras with telephoto lenses pointed at me like weapons. They'd been waiting since dawn, I realized. Waiting to capture the moment when Damien Blackwood, heir to a billion-dollar empire, walked out of jail like a common criminal."Damien! How does it feel to be free?""Any comment on the charges being

Chapter: Chapter 10THE REFUSAL(Serena's POV)The lawyer's office smelled like leather and old money. The kind of scent that clung to everything in Manhattan's most expensive legal firms. Mahogany panels lined the walls. Crystal decanters filled with amber liquid sat on antique side tables. Oil paintings of long-dead judges stared down from their gilded frames.I sat across from William Hartwell, Eleanor's personal attorney for thirty years. His silver hair was perfectly styled, swept back from his forehead in waves that probably cost more to maintain. His charcoal suit was tailored to perfection, every line sharp enough to cut glass. Behind him, law books lined the walls like soldiers in formation, their leather spines bearing the names of cases that had shaped the city's power structure.The baby kicked hard against my ribs as I shifted in the plush leather chair. Twenty-six weeks now. Strong and restless, like it could sense the weight of the decision hanging in the air. I pressed my hand to my stoma

Chapter: Chapter 9THE VISIT(Serena's POV)The prison smelled like bleach and broken dreams. The scent hit me as soon as I walked through the heavy metal doors.I walked through the metal detectors, my heels clicking against the polished concrete floor. The sound echoed off the walls like gunshots. The baby kicked restlessly in my womb, as if sensing the tension that radiated from every pore of my body."Mrs. Vaughn?" A guard approached me. His uniform was pressed and clean. His badge read "Martinez." "This way, please."He led me through a maze of corridors painted institutional green. The color reminded me of hospitals and morgues. Places where people went to die."The VIP wing," he explained as we walked. His voice was respectful. "Your... arrangement... has been very generous to the city."I nodded but didn't speak. Money talked, even in prison. Especially in prison.The visiting room was nicer than I'd expected. Actual chairs instead of metal stools. A table with a clean surface. Windows that actu

Chapter: Chapter 8THE ARREST(Damien’s POV)The handcuffs bit into my wrists like metal teeth. Cold and sharp. They left red marks on my skin. I sat in the back of the police car, watching my family's empire crumble through bulletproof glass. News vans lined the estate's circular driveway like hungry wolves. Camera flashes lit up the night like fireworks. Every flash captured another piece of our humiliation. "Blackwood heir arrested!" I could already see the headlines. "Dynasty falls!"Eleanor sat beside me, her silver hair still perfect despite everything. Even in handcuffs, she looked like a queen about to be executed. Her black silk dress didn't have a single wrinkle. Her spine was straight as steel. "This is temporary," she said quietly. Her voice was steady as stone. I wanted to believe her. But the way the officers had read our rights... The way they'd searched our house like they owned it... This wasn't temporary. This was the end of everything. "Grandmother..." I started. "Don't."
