The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO
“You’re gentle. You’re not always gentle, Julian…”
“It’s our anniversary…” he muttered. Before Lena could respond, Julian placed his thumb to her clit and pushed a finger into her.
“Julian,” she gasped.
. . .
Days after their third anniversary, Lena’s husband came home and asked for a divorce.
No warning.
No apology.
Just a decision he had already made, for a woman who had already left before.
Lena signed the papers. She walked away. And while Julian went back to the love of his life, Lena went back to something she had been hiding all along—her name, her family, and an empire worth more than everything Julian Black had ever built.
She was never a nobody.
He just never bothered to find out who she really was.
Two years later, they’re in the same room again. Same circles, same boardrooms, same suffocating tension neither of them knows what to do with.
Julian is starting to understand exactly what he threw away.
And Lena is trying very hard to remember why she let him go.
But some mistakes don’t stay buried.
And some feelings refuse to stay dead.
And some secrets fight to resurface.
But what are those secrets?

Chapter: 135– Epilogue 2 (Leo and Antonio)"I enjoyed myself today," Leo said, stepping into the room behind Antonio as he shrugged off his jacket and tossed it over the back of a chair."Yeah," Antonio agreed, already working at his cufflinks. "It was a nice wedding. I particularly liked that it was intimate.""Right?" Leo smiled, loosening his tie as he crossed to the dresser. "You never did like crowds."Antonio only offered a tight-lipped smile and began to undo his shirt buttons, his fingers slower than usual, his gaze fixed somewhere past his own reflection. He didn't say another word, letting a tense silence settle over the room like a held breath.Leo watched him in the mirror for a moment, unease tightening in his chest, before he crossed the last few feet between them. He stepped into Antonio from behind, his hands resting on Antonio's elbows and trailing up to his wrists, stopping him mid-motion."What's wrong?" Leo asked, their gazes locked in the mirror."Nothing." Antonio's voice was clipped, his jaw set."What's

Chapter: 134– Epilogue 1 (Lena and Julian)Five months later Julian had attended his own fair share of weddings, but till date, Lena was the most beautiful bride he'd ever seen.His beautiful bride.He stood by the door, a shoulder against the frame, Junior perched on his hip as he stared at Lena in awe. Late afternoon light spilled through the tall windows of the bridal suite, catching the fine beading on her gown and scattering it in small, restless sparks across the walls. Julian’s whole world had narrowed to the woman in front of the mirror.The wedding gown hugged Lena's frame, accentuating her curves, the fabric falling in soft folds to the floor. She looked ethereal, out of this world—her hair swept up and away from her face, a few loose strands curling against her neck, her collarbone dusted with the faintest shimmer of highlighter. Lena lifted her gaze to the mirror and caught Julian's eyes through their reflection.A gasp escaped her. She spun around so fast the skirt of her dress whispered against the floor. "Wh

Chapter: 133– For A King (Leo and Antonio)One month later.“You seem happy.” Antonio’s words were slurred, his tongue still heavy.“Should I be angry?” Leo asked, stopping the humming as he looked up at Antonio.Antonio raised a shoulder. “Aren’t you… angry with me? Don’t you want to say something to me?”Leo dropped the apple he was pairing into the plate and huffed out a breath. “I have so much to say to you, Antonio. But I’ll say them when your speech steadies so that you can respond properly.”Antonio swallowed hard. It had been over a month since Antonio opened his eyes. His physical recovery was a grueling, painful crawl, but he was getting there.Little by little.Slowly.With the help of Leo—who practically taught him how to walk again, how to speak again.His speech was still slightly gravelly, his voice hoarse from the trauma of the ventilator.But it was okay. Leo was satisfied, as long as he could hear Antonio’s voice. As long as Antonio could recognize him.The door clicked open.Leo’s shoulders instantly went r

Chapter: 132– The Happiest man AliveThe flight to New York had felt long.It was like a bridge between the violence of Italy and the life Julian was desperately clawing his way back to. By the time his car pulled through the gates of Lena’s estate, the early morning sun was already rising.Julian stepped out of the car, his joints popping from the hours of travel. He opened the back door and picked up the two bundles.One was a small, vibrant bouquet of yellow daisies. Junior’s favorite color, as he had learned from Lena.The second was a big, elegant arrangement of white roses and eucalyptus. That one was for Lena.The moment he stepped inside, he found Lena sitting on the rug in the living room, her back resting against the base of the couch. Junior was propped up in her lap, surrounded by a fortress of soft pillows, his small hands clumsily trying to stack a set of plastic building blocks.He looked infinitely better than he had the last time Julian was home. The color had returned to his cheeks, and the hollow exh

Chapter: 131– One Stone, Multiple Birds“Julian, step outside with me for a second,” Leo spoke up, his voice barely louder than a whisper.“Sure. Give me a minute,” Julian said, not raising his head as he typed something on his phone.The sun was already beginning to set.Antonio had remained the same since he woke, motionless and unblinking. Until he fell asleep again.Leo stepped outside the room and stood by the glass window, his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his pants. He watched the chest of his boyfriend rise and fall under the blanket, then eyes flicked to Julian.He tipped his head to the side as if to tell Julian that he didn’t have the patience to keep waiting. Julian flipped the phone in his palm, tucked it into his pocket, and stood up with a weary sigh. He stepped outside into the hallway, the door clicking shut to preserve the silence of Antonio’s room.Leo leaned his lower back against the wall and crossed his arms over his chest. His eyes, dark and bloodshot from ten days of sleepless nights, locked

Chapter: 130– Awake, But Not ReallyThe days blurred into one another until time itself lost all meaning.The first day passed in a suffocating silence. Leo simply sat in the plastic bedside chair, motionless, his mind unable to come to terms with the terrifying reality that he could lose the love of his life at any second. For the first time in his existence, he found himself praying to a God he had never believed in, bargaining with every ounce of his heart.The second day came and went with no change. The doctors mentioned that Antonio was strong; if he could make it past those initial forty-eight hours without his fever spiking or an unexpected emergency tearing his vitals apart, then it meant his body truly wanted to live.Another day drifted by.And another.And another.Until today. It was the tenth day.Leo had long since grown accustomed to the static hum of the machines, sitting by Antonio’s side for hours on end, holding his cold hand until his own fingers felt numb and disconnected from his body.Today cou
