Replacing the billionaire’s wife
Mia Scott had one rule: never let anyone know who she really was.
For years she lived without the Scott name, the mansion, or the empire, just a quiet apartment and a man she believed loved her for exactly what she showed him. She was wrong about the man. Wrong about her best friend. Wrong about everything she thought she had built.
One humiliating night at a bar. One ruined suit. One cold marriage alliance with Ethan Brook, the most powerful CEO in the country and the most emotionally unavailable man she has ever met.
She didn’t want him. He didn’t want her. They both had rules.
Then she walked into her father’s company as the hidden daughter nobody expected, rebuilt herself from the inside out, and started winning battles everyone assumed she would lose. And somewhere between the boardroom rivalries, the betrayals, the connections neither of them planned, the rules stopped working.
Ethan Brooks doesn’t do love anymore. His wife is dead and the guilt lives in his chest like something permanent. He never expected Mia will be the one person who could reach it.
From being betrayed to boardrooms. From hidden identity to undeniable power. From a cold wedding to something neither of them saw coming.
Replacing the Billionaire’s Wife is a slow burn billionaire romance following a strong willed lady who goes from heartbreak to empire and finds love after marriage with the one man who never planned to give it.
Girl power. Hidden identity. CEO romance. Weak to strong. Betrayal. Love after marriage.
Some women are underestimated once.
Mia Scott made sure it never happened twice.

Chapter: Chapter 21The moment people began arriving at the reunion, the alumni group chat came alive. Messages came in one after another, with pictures, jokes and updates from people who had not spoken in years. Everyone seemed excited to see where their former classmates had ended up. Noah had been invited too. He had not planned to attend because his company had been demanding most of his attention. Things had become increasingly difficult. He had tried calling Mia. Blocked. He had sent messages. No response. Noah had finally accepted that he misses her. His mother’s hatred for Mia because of her background had influenced him more than he wanted to admit. Yet despite everything that had happened, he now realizes his feelings had not disappeared. He still loved her. Then a notification from the alumni group appeared. Mia is here. Noah didn’t think twice. He grabbed his keys and left everything behind. He was going to see her. — Back at the reunion, nobody could say a word. Everyone ha

Chapter: Chapter 20The room gasped. Mia picked up her own glass and threw the wine back. It splashed across Cara’s gown. “That’s enough!” Scarlett rushed between them. “It hasn’t gotten to this. This is a reunion!” Cara stared at Mia in disbelief. Scarlett turned towards Mia. “Please. Just admit you made a mistake and apologize to Cara so we can all enjoy the evening.” Mia wiped the wine from her cheek, but before she could speak, “Nobody has actually proven Mia is lying.” The voice came from across the room. Beauty. One of the girls who had always admired Mia’s intelligence back in school. She folded her arms. “Okay, then. Cara has already claimed she knows the Scotts. So prove that you work for Scott Group and that what Cara said about you isn’t true,” Scarlett said. Cara smiled confidently. “If you’re lying, you’ll kneel down and apologize to me in front of everyone. And we’ll record it.” The room grew quieter. Mia looked at her. “And if I’m right?” Beauty looked

Chapter: Chapter 19“How did you manage after Noah?” someone asked.Mia didn’t react.“I’m with Scott Group.”The room went quiet for a moment.Then came the whispers.“But I don’t remember seeing your name on their staff list.”Scarlett glanced towards Cara.“You work there?”Cara finally spoke, her smile returning.“Miss Scott is a close friend of mine. Besides, the Henders do business with Scott Group, so I have access to some of their staff records.”Her tone was casual, but the satisfaction in her eyes was unmistakable.“Perhaps Mia isn’t in a senior position,” she added.Someone laughed softly.“Maybe she works at the lower level.”“Or perhaps she doesn’t actually work there.”The excitement that had surrounded Mia earlier had disappeared. People were now looking at her with doubt.Mia remained completely still.She could already see where Cara was taking this.“You said Miss Scott was supposed to attend?” someone asked.“Yes,” Cara replied confidently. “Unfortunately, she was busy. She told me at

Chapter: Chapter 18After spending the entire day wrestling with matters at Scott Group, Mia finally returned home that evening. Big companies came with big problems, and she had willingly signed up for it. She barely rested before getting ready for the reunion. She had her hair styled into a high ponytail that fell neatly down her back. Her red off-shoulder gown fitted her perfectly, complemented by simple silver jewellery, matching heels and a small purse. She kept her appearance elegant but understated. The reunion was being held at one of Dorcount City’s most exclusive private lounges, a place known for its expensive interiors, strict guest lists and clientele who preferred their gatherings away from public attention. Mia arrived slightly late. Most of the guests were already there. She had barely stepped inside when she heard a familiar voice. “Is that Mia?” She turned. Scarlett. Cara’s closest friend. Scarlett’s eyes travelled over her dress before she smiled. “You look nice.” “Thank

Chapter: Chapter 17Martin looked at him. “Mr. Clem.” He said nothing. “Do you have any explanation?” The room waited. Mr. Clem opened his mouth. Nothing came out. His head slowly lowered. Martin allowed the silence to linger for several seconds before closing the file in front of him. “Very well.” He rose to his feet. “This meeting is over.” Without another word, he walked out. No announcement. Yet everyone in the room understood exactly what that silence meant. Back in the office, Mason stopped by Mia’s desk. “Thank you… for not mentioning me.” Mia simply smiled. “You already had enough on your table.” Mason chuckled softly. “Thank you.” He returned to his office, leaving Mia to continue with the mountain of files before her. Later that evening, Martin’s secretary informed Mia that the Chairman wanted to see her. Martin was still reading through a document when she got to his office. Without looking up, he spoke. “The next time you identify a flaw of th

Chapter: Chapter 16The rest of the day passed in a blur. With Lily gone, most of her workload had been redistributed across the department. Mia barely had time to breathe before another file landed on her desk. By the time she looked up from her computer, the office was almost empty. She stretched her aching shoulders and packed her things. Tomorrow would be another busy day. The following morning, Scott Group was unusually quiet. Something had happened. Employees whispered among themselves as they walked through the hallways, careful not to be overheard. Barely thirty minutes into the workday, an email arrived. Emergency Meeting. Attendance Mandatory. Mia exchanged a quick glance with Mason before following everyone into the boardroom. Martin Scott was already seated at the head of the table. In front of him lay the Meridian Project proposal. He picked it up and placed it firmly on the table. The sound echoed through the silent room. “The Meridian Project,” he began, his voic
