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: 48– Show Me How Much (Leo and Antonio)Their footsteps echoed roughly against the tiled floor.Leo wiped again and again at his bleeding lip, his mouth curled into a snarl. He wanted to be angry about this—he couldn’t. He was angry quite alright but that anger was more for his failed relationship than for the fight that had just ended between him and Antonio.He wondered if this was the end, if the fact that they both brawled like animals meant that whatever was left of them was over.Leo took the left corridor.Antonio took the right.They needed something…Distance.Space.Air.Anything to breathe.But that too didn’t last. As long as their were under the same roof, Leo and Antonio could not bear to keep their distance from one another.“Leo.” Antonio’s voice cut through the hallway.Sharp.Rough.Leo didn’t stop even though every nerve screamed for him to.“Leo.” Antonio’s voice came again.Nothing.Antonio’s steps echoed faster as he made a turn and chased after Leo. He reached him in no more than five steps and grabb

Chapter: 47– Brawling Like Animals (Leo and Antonio)Leo’s fist landed clean against Antonio’s face. The crack against his bone echoed louder than earlier when they stumbled into the kitchen.Antonio barely had time to register it before he swung back, hard, fast, his fist connecting with Leo’s jaw and snapping his head to the side.“Fuck!” Leo staggered, but didn’t fall. He lunged forward with a growl, his eyes darkened more by hurt than by rage.They crashed into the sink, glass rattling, metal groaning under the force of their weight.“Are you out of your mind?!” Leo shouted, grabbing Antonio by the collar again and slamming him back this time.“You started it!” Antonio barked, driving his shoulder forward and forcing Leo back.“That was a warning!” Leo yelled.“Well this is me not listening!” Antonio yelled back.Leo threw another punch. Antonio shoved him again and they stumbled, knocking into one of the doors. The door swung open violently and Leo grabbed it, slamming it shut so that they could continue fighting.Their fists flew

Chapter: 46– About Us (Leo and Antonio)The restroom door barely had time to close before Antonio grabbed Leo by the collar and slammed him against the wall. The impact echoed. Hard. Sharp. Leo’s head snapped slightly to the side, but he didn’t fight it immediately. He just looked at Antonio. Calm. Steady. Infuriating. “What the fuck do you want, man?” He asked finally. “You knew,” Antonio breathed, his grip tightening. “You knew about my brother and your sister and you said nothing.” Leo let out a quiet scoff. “We’ve established that.” Antonio’s jaw clenched. “Don’t do that.” “Do what?” “That thing where you act like this is nothing!” Leo’s eyes flickered, but his voice stayed even. “Because to me, it is.” That hit wrong the wrong nerve and Antonio shoved him harder into the wall. “Our families are about to tear each other apart and you’re standing here acting like it doesn’t concern you?” “It doesn’t concern me,” Leo shot back, sharper this time. “It concerns Julian and Lena.” “They dragged us into it!” “T

Chapter: 45– Tension Between Both FamiliesThree days later.“Antonio?”“Si, papa?”“You’re very restless today.” A beat. “What’s wrong?”Julian’s brother, Antonio, was standing beside their father in the living room. His hands were crossed at the wrist at the base of his back and he rocked back and forth whilst they waited for Lena’s father to enter.It had been days since Julian told Antonio about his complicated personal life, but Antonio hadn’t yet gathered the courage to tell their father, knowing that the only thing it’d result in is chaos.“I met with Julian,” Antonio said to their father, his voice a whisper.“I already know that.”Antonio swallowed. “You need to know what we discussed.”“Not now.”“Papa—”Before Antonio could even finish speaking, the door opened and Pedro King was led in, followed closely by his son, Leonardo King.Antonio’s heart jumped into his throat and he had to swallow loudly to keep him from sputtering nonsense.“Pedro!” Julian’s father exclaimed as he saw his old friend. “I’m so happy you dec

Chapter: 44– You Are A Mistake“I told them not to let you in.”Julian didn’t even bother taking off his coat as he walked into his office, tossing his keys onto the table with a sharp clatter.Rose, seated comfortably like she owned the place, crossed her legs and looked at him. “It doesn’t matter what you told them, baby. I came to see you and I won’t let anyone stop me.”Julian let out a short, humorless laugh. “Of course. I wouldn’t expect any less from you.” He walked past her without another glance, shrugging off his jacket and heading straight for his desk. “I’m not in the mood, Rose.”“I don’t care what mood you’re in,” she said lightly. “I just came to ask how it went.”Julian stilled for half a second. Then continued what he was doing. “What do you care?”“I’m curious.”“No,” he said flatly. “You’re not.”That made her smile fade just a little.Julian finally looked up at her. His gaze was cold and disinterested. “Let me save you the effort,” he continued. “It’s handled.”“Handled how?”“That’s not your c

Chapter: 43– Private SettlementLena was leaned back in the seat, clocking the pen in her hand.Click.Click.Click.That was all that echoed in the room—at least it was the only thing Julian was hearing.The lawyers were speaking, but neither Julian nor Lena paid attention to whatever they were saying.Julian was flustered.Lena was taking advantage of it.“Everyone out,” Julian suddenly blurted without thinking.The room went silent.It wasn’t as though he shouted, but his tone was edged with seriousness. And it made it clear he wasn’t asking.His lawyers exchanged glances. Lena’s team hesitated for half a second longer.“Now,” he added. “Please. I would like a moment alone with Lena before we continue.”Lena’s team looked at her. She gave a nod.Chairs shifted.Files closed.One by one, they all stood and filed out, the door clicking shut behind them, leaving only the two of them in the conference room.Silence stretched.Thick.Uncomfortable.Julian stood from where he sat at the other head of the table. He stro
