The Billionaire's Regretful Divorce: His Hidden Heirs
For five years, Emily Carter was married to Xavier Sterling, the powerful CEO of the Sterling Group. Their marriage was nothing more than a business alliance between two influential families, but somewhere along the way, Emily fell hopelessly in love with her cold-hearted husband.
On Valentine's Day, she walks into a restaurant carrying the happiest news of her life, a pregnancy report she plans to surprise Xavier with.
Instead, she is greeted by his lawyer, and divorce papers.
His reason?
He has waited five years for an heir.
Heartbroken, Emily returns home only to find Xavier in bed with another woman, one who is already pregnant with the child he always wanted.
Without revealing her own pregnancy, Emily signs the divorce papers, disappears from his life, and gives birth to twins in secret.
Six years later, she returns, but not as the abandoned ex-wife everyone once pitied, but as the founder of a world-renowned luxury brand.
Now Xavier wants his children.
But winning them means facing the woman he shattered.
Will Xavier prove he deserves a second chance, or has he lost Emily forever?

Chapter: Chapter 10SIX YEARS LATEREmily was already awake when she heard the bedroom door open. She turned from the window and found Adrian standing there, his hair disheveled and his expression unusually serious for a six-year-old. He didn't say anything at first. Emily knew that look. She set down the phone in her hand.“Another bad dream?”Adrian nodded. He climbed onto the edge of the bed and sat beside her, rubbing his eyes. “I saw him again.”Emily's expression softened. “The same man?”He gave another nod. Adrian had been having the dream for as long as Emily could remember. It never happened every night, or even every week, but whenever it did, the details seemed to linger with him.“What happened this time?” she asked.“I was somewhere I didn't know.”His little brows pulled together as he tried to remember.“There were lots of people, but I couldn't see their faces. Then I saw him.”“What was he doing?”“Nothing.”Emily smiled faintly. “Nothing?”“He was just standing there.”Adrian looked do

Chapter: Chapter 9Two days after receiving the email, after arriving in Metro City, Emily stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the sleeve of her blouse. Her sketches were arranged neatly inside a folder on the table, along with a small notebook where she had written down a few points she wanted to discuss during the meeting.She had spent the last two days refining her ideas. The company had agreed to meet with her after receiving her inquiry, and although Emily tried not to expect too much, she couldn't deny that she was excited. This was different from everything she had done before.She wasn't attending the meeting as a Carter representative. She wasn't there because of a family connection. She was going there because of something she had created herself. Claire arrived shortly afterward.“Are you ready?”Emily picked up her folder.“I think so.”Claire looked at the folder. “You've checked those designs about ten times.”“I want them to be perfect.”“They don't have to be perfect.”Emily gave he

Chapter: Chapter 8The first thing Emily noticed about Metro City was how different it felt from Ranch City. It was louder, busier, and much larger. Tall buildings filled the skyline, cars moved constantly along the roads, and people seemed to have somewhere to be at every hour of the day.Emily watched everything through the car window as the driver drove them toward the apartment she had arranged for them. She didn't know how long she would stay there. Maybe a few months, maybe longer. For now, it was enough.She had already decided that she would take her time before buying another property. There was no point rushing into another major decision when she was still figuring out what she wanted her life in Metro City to look like.When they finally arrived, Kathy helped her bring their bags inside. The apartment wasn't luxurious, but it was comfortable. It had two bedrooms, a spacious living room, a small kitchen, and large windows overlooking part of the city. Emily walked from one room to another, ta

Chapter: Chapter 7The next morning, Emily woke up knowing she was leaving Ranch City. She didn't spend much time thinking about it. She had already made her decision. She had texted her two best friends about it. She hadn't gotten a response from them yet, but she texted because she felt someone aside from Kathy needed to know where she was.After breakfast, she called a realtor and instructed them to begin the process of selling the properties she owned in the city. She would deal with everything else later. For now, she simply wanted to leave. By late morning, Kathy had finished packing their things.Emily had only taken what she needed. Her remaining belongings could be dealt with after she settled in Metro City.“You're really leaving today?” Kathy asked as she zipped the last suitcase.“Yes.”Emily glanced around the hotel room. “There is nothing keeping me here anymore.”Kathy nodded. She didn't argue. A few hours later, they left for the airport. Emily sat quietly in the back seat, watching Ranc

Chapter: Chapter 6By the time Emily left the hospital and returned to the hotel, she was exhausted. Kathy helped her settle onto the bed before bringing her a glass of water.“Slowly,” she said. “The doctor said you need to rest.”Emily took the glass and nodded. Kathy stayed close, making sure she ate something before allowing her to rest. She fussed over her constantly, adjusting the pillows, bringing her food and reminding her not to get up unnecessarily.Emily didn't complain. She knew Kathy was only worried about her. Later that afternoon, Emily's phone rang. She glanced at the screen and immediately frowned. It was Aunt Linda. Emily almost ignored the call.She had never been particularly close to Linda. Her aunt had always been more interested in the Carter family's reputation and business than in Emily herself. The phone continued ringing. With a sigh, Emily answered.“What?”“Is that how you answer your aunt now?” Her aunt's stern voice came from the other end.Emily leaned back against the he

Chapter: Chapter 5A young hotel employee stood outside the door with a polite smile. “Good evening, ma'am. I apologize for disturbing you. We wanted to ask if you would like to order dinner for the evening.”Emily looked at him for a moment before shaking her head. “No, thank you. I'm not hungry.”Before the employee could respond, Kathy's voice came from behind her.“That is nonsense.”Emily turned around and saw Kathy standing near the sofa with her arms folded.“Aunt Kathy…”“You are pregnant, and you are telling me you don't want to eat?”Emily sighed softly. “I really don't have an appetite.”“That does not mean you should skip your meal.”Kathy walked toward the door and looked at the hotel employee.“Please bring dinner. Something light. Soup, fruits, and anything healthy.”The employee nodded politely. “Of course, ma'am.”After he left, Emily closed the door and turned to Kathy. “You didn't have to do that.”Kathy gave her a serious look. “Yes, I did.”Emily smiled faintly. “You are treating me

Chapter: Chapter 56After Triton had attended Maria's burial which was compulsory for him to be present, he decided to go on a journey. The forger whom he worked for lived in a place far away from werewolf territories. They had only been exchanging letters and sending messengers to deliver their messages, and since Trevor hadn't brought more women, the forger had been sending messages incessantly to Triton.Triton was the one who had direct contact with the forger, he relayed messages from the forger to his brother Trevor. A messenger came recently, bearing a letter that the forger sent.Triton's heart thumped and his blood pressure skyrocketed as he read through the message. It contained multiple threats and warnings if he and his brother wouldn't do what the forger wanted.Triton knew what he signed up for when he started working for the forger. He knew all the lies he had told to Alpha Reynolds of Veilwood each time the alpha asked for help concerning the missing females in his pack. He knew how he ev

Chapter: Chapter 55Fire, smoke, red and ashy colours filled the sky. Men and women were bound in chains, while children ran around screaming in pain. A man wearing a mask stood over the crowd. He held an arrow in one hand, and a sword in the other.“What is this?” Maria asked shakily.Freye turned from the wall and faced her. “It's another vision. It is revealing how Veilwood would look when the forger is done destroying it and other werewolf lands too.”“What!” Maria looked closer at the scene that looked real in front of her. “Trevor and his brother have a hand in doing all these?” She asked in disbelief.“They helped in recruiting women for the forger in exchange for whatever he promised them, so yes, they do.”Maria gritted her teeth angrily at Freye’s confirmatory statement. She couldn't believe that her mate, and the man who she had started to fall in love with would have a hand in such a disaster.She hastened towards the door, ready to confront him this night to spill the truth concerning whatev

Chapter: Chapter 54They laid on the bed quietly, with Trevor caressing her waist in a gentle manner. His hot breath washed over her face as he drifted into sleep. She leaned closer, covering him properly with the blanket.She glanced towards the window which revealed a dark sky. She had worked all day, but wasn't feeling tired enough to sleep. Her eyes were wide open, while her brain was contained with thoughts of— “who am I? And would Veilwood reveal the truth?”It was a pity that she had to suspend her travel to Veilwood because of the spreading blight, but it was something she had to do to protect herself and the people.She heard something like a whisper and straightened herself on the bed. The voice called her name again, “Maria, Maria.”She faced Trevor, whose eyes were closed in deep sleep and wondered who was calling her.“This is strange,” she muttered to herself and lay back on the bed.Then, she heard herself being called again, and this time, it was louder than a whisper.She stood up from t

Chapter: Chapter 53Trevor's eyes widened slightly as Maria locked her lips with his. He had also burned with an intensity to kiss her, but he doubted, thinking he may be moving too forward.He wrapped his hand gently around her waist as he tasted every bit of her mouth. Her hands were wrapped around his shoulders. Their lips moved, savouring every bit of each other.They disconnected, and Maria paused to catch her breath.She looked away shyly. “I'm sorry. I didn't mean to…”He silenced her with another kiss, this time more intense than the former. When he shifted his lips from hers, he looked at her in the eyes and his voice came out as a whisper. “That was amazing, Blossom.”He still called her Blossom even after finding out her name was Maria. The name stuck to him.He cupped her face gently by the cheeks, caressing it delicately.“You're in heat, aren't you?”Maria looked away, her cheeks slightly reddening with an evident blush.“I'm sorry,”Trevor chuckled and held her soft palm. “It's nothing to

Chapter: Chapter 52Maria was still there, curled beside his bed. Her hand leaned against his back. She hadn't left his side, afraid that if she did, he may stop breathing.She slept off while lying there. Trevor stirred a bit. His hand moved and brushed against Maria's hair, causing her to wake up.“Trevor,” she whispered. “How are you feeling?”His eyes fluttered open and he looked around the room in a dazed manner at first. “How did I get here?”Maria smiled. “You collapsed and were unconscious. It's been almost three hours since we brought you here.”He straightened himself on the bed and mumbled something incomprehensible.Maria continued. “The nurses said you have a blight, and you need rest, plenty of it.”Trevor inhaled deeply and rubbed his eyes which were still sleepy. The action was also accompanied with a yawn.“Thank you, Maria,” He said, looking at her with a soft gaze.“I wasn't going to leave you. You still need rest.”Trevor rubbed his forehead worriedly. “The blight. I thought it had di

Chapter: Chapter 51Trevor's chest heaved heavily and it was obvious that he was still angry. He still stared at the door after Triton left. Devon tried putting a hand on his shoulder to calm him, but he shrugged it off.He turned to Maria. “You shouldn't be hiding there. He obviously smelt you.”She stepped out of her hiding place with her head slightly lowered. “I…I'm so sorry.” She stuttered.He inhaled deeply and sat on a chair while still looking at her. “How much of everything did you hear?”Maria hesitated, wondering if he was angry at her for eavesdropping. His expression looked quite indifferent so she couldn't tell.“Is he your brother?”Trevor nodded his head and she saw something like a sliver of pain in his eyes. “Yes.”“Why don't you…”“I'd take you to Veilwood in a week.” He said, interrupting her second question. “I have a lot of things to attend to. Are you okay with it?”“Yes,” she replied.He placed a hand on his chest as if feeling pain. His eyes were narrowed and he had a slightly gr

Worthless In Their Eyes, Perfect In His
Ruby grew up sad for most of her life. Born into a society where beauty standards were seen as slender and tall, she felt low self esteem her entire life. Her family even made matters worse by ridiculing her each day, and comparing her with her younger sister. Her wolf despised her, accusing Ruby of trapping her in a fat body. She always tried to comfort herself that she wasn't fat but chubby, but no one saw her that way.
After being rejected and betrayed by her boyfriend, her family, instead of comforting her, blamed her that it was her fault that he left.
“You are too fat and ugly.” Her mother spat at Ruby with a look of disdain. “No man would ever want you.”
Ruby wiped her tears, making a decision to transform her shape into what would be accepted. However, while she is on the journey of body transformation, she comes across a stranger who looks at her in a way that no one ever did.
He didn't think she was worthless and everything about her seemed perfect in his eyes.
Would Ruby give this man a chance to love her, or is she too broken to see her worth?

Chapter: Chapter 110My father stood up and held a stick in his hand in a combat position. Sandra had also come out from the room and looked absolutely surprised as she had a hand over her mouth.The cloaked person stepped forward and two others followed behind her. I could see that it was a woman. She looked at the paper that my father had given me and she chuckled. She walked closer to me, but my father stepped forward and blocked her path.“Don't. She isn't for you.”“Oh Sebat, how do you never learn? Do you really think you can block me from taking the most precious thing? She has awakened and she needs to come with us.”I looked confused. I didn't fully understand what was happening. She had called my father Sebat, what was that even supposed to mean?“Step away,” father said in a deeper voice. He brandished the stick in the air and was already giving threats. He glanced at me. “Ruby, go into the bedroom. Don't come out until I say you should.”I took a step backwards and was about to leave, when I f

I was about to leave the room, but when I saw who was at the door, I was utterly stunned. I stared in disbelief.The man entered the house and Sandra stepped aside for him to enter.“D… Dad? What are you doing here?”He coughed and looked at me with a wry smile. “That's not the right way to say hi to your father. I already texted you that I'd be coming to see you.”I narrowed my eyes at him, still feeling very stunned. “And how did you know about my location?”He chuckled and proceeded to sit on the chair without invitation. “Ruby, I know your witch powers have awakened. I just want to talk more about it.”I glanced at Sandra. Sandra shrugged. She was just looking at what was happening without doing anything.“Has your inner witch spoken to you since the first time she awakened?”“Father, I need you to know that you can't just waltz in here a

Chapter: Chapter 108The date soon came to an end. We spoke about a couple of other things and I noticed Adrian glancing at me. Anytime I turned in his direction, he pretended like he wasn't looking at me and looked away. I felt irritated. I wanted to flash at him and tell him to stop staring at me. It was getting really annoying at the moment.He stood up and walked towards my table. My heartbeat quickened and I was shocked at why he was coming closer. Malcolm turned towards him.Adrian stretched out his hand for a handshake with Malcolm. “I'm one of the business partners at your company. I didn't think you would recognize me.”“Oh, Adrian… It's great to see you. I almost forgot that you were the one.”Adrian smiled, then he turned to me. “Hello ma'am. I hope you're enjoying your time here.”I forced a smile and replied to him with one word. “Yes,”He returned to his seat and I noticed him wink at me. I almost puked. How disgusting. Did that bastard just wink at me? I was sure that he was never intereste

Chapter: Chapter 107There was a slice of chocolate cake on the plate. But that wasn't all. There was also something on the plate that made my heart beat faster. There were words written with icing on the side of the cake. I read them and my heart beat a bit faster. “Will you be my girlfriend?”“Malcolm?” I muttered as I narrowed my eyes at him. “What is this, Malcolm?”He took a deep breath and faced me. “Ruby, I know we've had our differences. I know it was a contract agreement, but now I'm asking you to start over for real without a contract binding us. Will you be my girlfriend and grow with me?”I nearly spat out the water I was drinking. I was too stunned to think of a proper response to give. It meant Sandra's guess wasn't wrong at all. Sandra had already predicted that he wanted to ask me out. I opened my mouth to say something, but no words came out. I was lost for what to say.Malcolm kept looking at me. Creases had formed around his forehead. I wondered if he was already thinking that I wouldn'

Chapter: Chapter 106I felt uneasy that very moment. Why exactly was he looking at me that way? Was there something on my face or was it something about my dress? I didn't know. His mouth was even wide.He closed his mouth and smiled. He stood up and held my hands. “Ruby, you look stunning. The dress suits you perfectly.”I smiled. “Thank you.”Gosh. He almost gave me a heart attack. Was it because of how beautiful I looked that he kept looking at me like that.“I'm sorry to keep you waiting.”“Not at all. It's my pleasure to be kept waiting. A beautiful angel needs all the time to get dressed.”I almost blushed, but tried hard to suppress it. Malcolm had his way of playing around with words and just giving me butterflies in my belly.I was very curious about what he wanted to tell me this evening and I remembered what Sandra said and wondered if it was true. Well, I was about to find out. He stretched out his elbow and I placed my hand in it.Sandra waved at me from the corner where she stood and I waved

Chapter: Chapter 105I returned to sitting on the sofa and I still had my sketchbook in my hand. I sat cross-legged and placed the sketchbook on my thighs as I drew. I made a drawing of a living room scenery, although I didn't draw it exactly to look like Sandra's living room. I still added some similar things like the flower by the side and the television.I kept the sketchbook aside on the chair and in a short while, I felt my eyes flutter. I was feeling sleepy and I couldn't help myself. Maybe it was because I kept waking up in the night to check my father's message that I didn't get any sleep at all. I yawned. I felt really sleepy. I still had to keep the dinner with Malcolm at mind and I hoped I wouldn't oversleep and pass the time.Who cares? Even if I overslept, Malcolm was the one who offended me and he was the one meant to stay up to wait for me to arrive. I rolled my eyes at the thought of it and yawned again. A thought that I didn't know could resurface actually did.An image of Adrian popped u
