Now, she’s back as The Reformer, a world-renowned business strategist celebrated for resurrecting dying empires.
Her newest client? The Sterling Group.
Her ex-husband’s empire.

She’s here to ruin him.

Chapter: Epilogue - Vows Under The Santorini SkyONE MONTH LATERSANTORINI GREECE The island looked like something out of a dream.White buildings stacked against the cliffside, blue domes catching the afternoon sun, and below it all, the Aegean stretched out endlessly in every shade of blue Arabella had never thought to name before.She stood at the window of the bridal suite, her veil catching the breeze from the open balcony, and thought about how far she had traveled to get here.Not just to Santorini.To this.A knock came at the door."Mom." Axel's voice. "They're ready."Arabella turned.He stood in the doorway in a tiny white suit, his ring bearer pillow clutched in both hands with the seriousness of someone carrying classified government documents.His hair was neatly combed. His shoes were shined.He looked exactly like his father.Arabella pressed a hand to her mouth. "Axie.""Don't cry yet." He said firmly. "Aunt Vera said you'd mess up your face."Arabella burst out laughing.She crossed the room and crouched to his le

Chapter: The ProposalBy the time the salon staff were done with her, Arabella barely recognized the woman staring back from the mirror.Her hair, usually tied up or left alone, fell in soft curls over her shoulders.The makeup was elegant and understated. It brought attention to her warm brown eyes, sharpened the bridge of her nose, and gave her lips a soft rosy tint.The dress was even better.The emerald-green gown fit perfectly, hugging her waist before flowing smoothly to the floor.The front was a simple v-neck, but the back dipped low, exposing the graceful line of her spine almost to her waist.Diamond drop earrings brushed against her neck.A delicate tennis bracelet glittered around her wrist.Around her throat rested a thin diamond necklace with a single pear-shaped stone that caught the light whenever she moved.For several seconds, Arabella simply stared at herself in the full length mirror.For once, she wasn't a CEO juggling two companies. Or a vengeful ex-wife seeking vengeance. Or even a m

Chapter: Posthumous ExonerationONE YEAR LATERTime had a way of moving on, whether people were ready for it or not.In the twelve months since Arabella's life started to settle, lives had changed, wounds had begun to heal, and the world had settled into a new normal. Isabella's one year death anniversary came with some good news. Claudia, Marcus and James were finally convicted. As the mastermind, Claudia got thirty - two years. But for someone already in her 50s, that was a life sentence. Marcus wasn't so lucky. After his embezzlement charges from Vertex Energy went public, the Prosecutor knew bad habits die hard. They tracked his years in service under several positions, and more evidence of fraud, embezzlement of public funds, money laundering and even tax evasion. He got a cumulative sentence of sixty-three years.James, the fake dead guy, only got eighteen years. And would probably still get a second chance at life by the time he is free. On this day—Friday— it was the verdict hearing of Isabella's post

Chapter: We Were Never Divorced“You know,” Dr. Stanley, standing by the window in his office, his back turned to the couple sitting on the other side of his desk, “If it's up to me, I will have CPS take him.” “No, please.” Arabella cried at the word. Adrian dropped his head in shame. He’d also been a terrible father to him. Dr. Stanley turned to face them, “But what can I say? If you all are ready for family therapy with your child, then I have to give you a chance.” “Thank you so much, Dr. Stanley,” Arabella grabbed his hand like her life depended on it, “You're the best. The absolute best.” Dr. Stanley nodded, struggling to pull his hand from her grip until Adrian helped.“Thank you so much sir.” Adrian shook him firmly. After the meeting, Arabella and Adrian walked out of the clinic to their car, with Axel in between them. “Mom, can we go to an amusement park today?” Arabella grabbed Adrian’s hand, twisting it back to check the time on his wrist watch. It was past 5pm.“Axie, it's already too late to go

Chapter: Her Real PunishmentST. AUGUSTINE BEHAVIORAL INSTITUTEIt's been a week since Serena’s conviction, and still she had not yet adjusted to her room.The room was a sea of white.White walls. White floor. White ceiling.Even the narrow bed tucked into the corner was dressed in crisp white sheets.The only splash of color came from Serena herself.A fluorescent light hummed overhead, bathing the room in a harsh glow that never seemed to dim. The reinforced window on the far wall let in little more than pale daylight.For the first two days, she just managed the place, thinking it was just formalities until the daily check-ins and medication rounds started. At first she refused.The nurses didn't force her. They just noted it down on their clipboard. Then she started demanding to see Dr. Ramirez who was in charge of the facilities. Whenever she throws a tantrum, the nurses try to calm her down. But she noticed it. They talked to her like a child, explaining to her that the doctor wasn't in office. Like

Chapter: The Circus SessionAdrian recovered quickly and a week later, he was being discharged. Gavin went for the papers. Axel was in school. Arabella was packing up Adrian's things while he went to change in the bathroom. “You asked of everyone else but your mom.” Arabella spoke as Adrian stepped out of the room. Adrian dropped his gaze. “I was worried talking about her would hurt.” “Oh, don't use me as an excuse. I even talked about Claudia.” Arabella shut him up quickly. Adrian folded the hospital gown in his hand and dropped it on the bed. “I even told you about the kidnap, and how she saved our baby hoping you’d ask about her. But you didn't.” “I asked Gavin.” He replied honestly, “I heard she’s crippled now.” A hollow laugh escaped his mouth, “Don't you think this is like a wish come through?” “She’s always wanted this. So desperately she pretended for 10 whole years.” He patted Arabella's shoulder, “Are you sure the doctor wasn't paid off? For all we know, she could be pretending again

My Sister's Husband: Surrogate For The CEO I Once Loved
Cassandra Hart spent her whole life giving up everything for her sister.
She surrendered her grandmother's last gift, her education, her first love, and even her marriage because her parents always believed one thing:
"The older sister should sacrifice.”
So when they ask her to become a surrogate for her younger sister, Cassandra agrees—for a price.
$10 million. A severance letter. An OUT.
They agreed without hesitation, certain she'd never really leave.
Living under the same roof as billionaire CEO Dante Caldwell was never supposed to change anything. He was her sister's husband, the father of the child she carried, and the one man she had buried her feelings for years ago.
But somewhere between hospital appointments, midnight cravings, nursery plans, and quiet evenings preparing for a baby that wasn't supposed to be hers, feelings neither of them should have began to grow.
And the closer Dante grew to Cassandra, the more the cracks in his seemingly perfect marriage became impossible to ignore.

Chapter: Forced ChoiceDante sat on the pastel sofa in the patio of his mansion, head resting on one palm while the other held a glass of whiskey. He massaged his temple slowly, his eyes red, looking more frustrated than sad. The Clara he had fallen for would never have said that.‘It’s just a baby. We paid her to do a job.’Dante took a long sip. The whiskey burned, but the words kept playing, and under them, another voice surfaced."So a hedge fund manager is worth more than a nurse?"He closed his eyes.Nearly five years ago, he had sat in his room in the middle of the night, arguing in a group chat with a stranger.The topic had been something silly, which job deserved the highest salary. Dante had been so sure of himself. "Whatever pays most is what society values most. Money is the honest scoreboard."But the stranger on the other side of the internet had not backed down. “The market also says a nanny is worth less than a car. Some work can't be priced. You can pay for it, but the pay is never the

Chapter: Are You The Woman I Fell In Love With?“Like I said, it's completely personal, if you're not okay, you can leave.” Felix reiterated as he stood a few feet away from where she was sitting. Cassandra pressed her lip into a thin line, “It's fine, Doc. Go ahead.” Felix cleared his throat and smiled, “You don't seem to recognise me at all.” Cassandra raised a brow, “Am I supposed to?” “Well, I was hoping you would. We were in the same class at Royal Heights high school for three years and always competed for the first position. I could never forget you.” Cassandra’s lips parted slightly in recognition. “Oh, Felix Truman. It's you.” She didn't recognise him. Not really. But she remembered the name. Truman. He was the only student that sometimes scored above her.But Cassandra had never considered it a competition. Hell, she just wanted to be done with high school and move to college. “You were always a loner and never even responded when others spoke to you except Seraphina. It's understandable you wouldn't recognise me.”

Chapter: Dr. Truman“Oh, careful!” Cassandra winced, leaning back on the chair, her hands hovering over her lips. Dante quickly stepped out of the car and opened the door to her seat, leaning forward to inspect her face.“Are you alright? I’m so sorry, I panicked.” Cassandra glanced at the blood that stained her finger, sighing as she rolled her eyes, “We are going to the hospital anyways, let’s get it treated there.” Dante sighed and nodded, his face pale with guilt as he returned to his seat. Cassandra wiped the blood off with a tissue. Even after the car started, Dante kept glancing at her through the rear-view mirror. Despite the pain, Cassandra hid her face and smiled. She knew why he’d reacted that way.Pookie face. That nickname triggered him. It was the nickname she’d given him during their online dating. But she had only ever said it during calls. Clara never could have known it.“You keep staring, any problem?” Cassandra questioned, trying to force him to say something. “I—uh that name.

Chapter: Pookie Face“Don't play dumb with me, Cassie. What were you doing being so close to my husband?” Clara bellowed furiously. Cassandra flipped her hair sideways, carefully putting on her earrings like someone wasn't crashing out behind her. Clara's chest rose and fell fast, her eyes slowly turning red with anger. “I’m talking to you, Cassandra. You’re my sister, are you really trying to steal my husband?” “Exactly, Clara. We’re sisters, do you really think I'd snatch your husband? Would you ever do that to me?” Clara's jaw tightened, her eyes swelling with rage at Cassandra's backhanded jab. “You—”Cassandra turned sharply, facing her, “When you went through our chat before deleting my profile, did you not see that I even learnt the lyrics for him?” “If you were going to be so insecure about the man you skillfully stole, maybe you shouldn't have stolen him.” Clara's lips twitched with anger but she couldn't utter a word. Cassandra grabbed her bag from the table and walked towards the door.

Chapter: His Music TasteDante and Cassandra had been so deep into their conversations that they didn't notice Clara standing at the foot of the stairs watching them. At first she'd just been annoyed that the two were laughing after humiliating her like that earlier. She wanted to leave quietly, but at that moment, Cassandra suddenly stood up from where she was seated and moved to Dante’s sofa while showing him something on her phone. And when their eyes locked for a little too long, her insecurities kicked in immediately. Her sister or not, Cassandra was still the woman he had fallen in love with first. What if she managed to make him fall for her again? Clara quickly walked behind their sofa, hands resting on the sofa as she leaned forward, her face between them.“I hope I am not interrupting anything?” She tried to keep her voice even. Dante quickly shifted back, clearing his throat as he looked up at Clara with a forced smile. “Clara. You're here.” His voice came out rough, trembling slightly at th

Chapter: Fast CarAs soon as Cassandra disappeared from their sight, Dante shook Clara off, his fingers curling into fists. “It's not what I think it is, right?” Clara dropped her gaze, realizing Dante already clocked what happened. Anyone with common sense would. “It's just a necklace and bracelet,” she said, forcing a weak smile. “I don't know why she overreacted like—” “CLARA!” Dante bellowed, his eyes quickly turning bloodshot, startling her, “You have a fucking walk-in closet.”“Your jewelry collection is worth over $10+ million. Your bank card has no daily limit. You could buy more if you wanted to. Did you really need to take your sister's?” Dante was almost out of breath now. For almost a minute Clara stared blankly at him, her brows still raised in disbelief. Dante had never raised his voice at her before.That realization scared her. Her innocent lady facade was thinning away. She couldn't be angry now. Instead, she sniffed and quickly wiped beneath her eyes, even though no tears had fa
