CONTRACTED TO MY EX-HUSBAND’S ENEMY
She’s a ticking time bomb, but this second chance at life came with with a life-bound contract.
When Zoe Beckett married Emery Landon, she believed she was building a future.
What she was actually doing was funding his dynasty, tolerating his mistresses, and swallowing her grief in the name of love and title of Mrs.
But the day he handed their son to a quack doctor to use his bone marrow - without asking or warning - to save the child of his mistress, and her son died on the operating table, Zoe finally challenged him.
That challenge of hers though? It was the reflection of her downfall.
His family took his side and hers had been long gone driven out of power by him.
Her husband's sister sold her to a brothel and she was passed from one set of cruel hands to the next, Zoe made the only choice she had left. She ended her life with her own hands.
Then she woke up.
Two weeks before she was to marry him.
This time, she vows she won’t let history repeat itself.
She walks straight to Nathaniel Quest - Emery's most dangerous rival, a man who has spent years looking for the right weapon to destroy Emery and offers him a tempting offer.
She expected a transaction and she got one, but she certainly did not bargain for the way Nathaniel looks at her - like he has been waiting, not for a weapon, but for her specifically.
Now that she's reborn, she'll marry his rival on the same wedding date and crush him before he can say her name!

Chapter: You still care about meZoe blinked, the sitting words in her mouth disappearing instantly.Suddenly, the brooch felt like a heavy stone hanging on her chest.Zoe shook her head.“I have to go” She spoke, her feet taking her away from Emery and closer to the door.“Zoe.” Emery called out after her.Zoe paused, her finger hovered over the handle of the door.“I know you still care about me.” He grinned.“Really?” Zoe cocked her head to the side.Emery turned, crossed his knees, his lips sporting a really big annoying smirk.“If you didn’t you wouldn’t hold the brooch my mother gave to you so dearly. She got that as a free stuff with her other goods, but to see you care for it this much …… It just shows how much of an amazing daughter-in-law you’ll be.”Zoe blinked. Her hands formed fists by her side as reckless anger bubbled through her veins.Her memory was faint, but she remembered Eunice calling the brooch a London family heirloom.And she had cherished it like crazy in her past life.Tears prickled the ba

Chapter: A gift from EuniceZoe froze.She was currently kneeling on cold tiles, her back bent forward to give her some push, her right hand underneath the safe digging for the pen recorder.Her eyes fell on the brooch holding her scarf together.She didn’t think much of it.Zoe raised her left hand and unclipped the brooch watching it roll under the safe.It made a soft sound as it hit the pen recorder, stopping there.What the heck?!Emery pulled Zoe up by her shoulders, his eyes filled with rage.Zoe shuddered.She’d never seen him direct such rage to her, ever.In her past life, it was always calculated cruelty, hidden aggression, barbed words, manipulative tricks and stealing everything that belonged to her.“Zoe?” Emery’s grip on her shoulder loosened, the rage in his eyes replacing with confusion.“What are you doing here?”Zoe did not reply, she just stared at him.The rage in his eyes was fully imprinted in her memory.How long has he kept this successfully away from her?No, how long has Emery Landon b

Chapter: DoneZoe stared at her phone screen every time she ran into a red light, the entire drive home, smiling at her account balance every few minutes like it might disappear if she blinked too long.Twelve million dollars.Ten from Emery. Two million was already sitting there from before, belonging to her.Zoe skipped into the house, smile stretching across her lips.Zoe ignored Beulah's confused look at the door, and settled at her dining table with her laptop open before she'd even taken her shoes off."Okay." She cracked her knuckles, waving her hands in the air."Let's fix this."She transferred the fee for cancellation to Solene Haircare first, watching the confirmation ping through with immense satisfaction. Then Mailie Restaurants their cancellation fee eating a considerably larger bite than she expected. Then Marbelle Jewelry, the cruelest of the three, structured exactly to punish someone in her position.Aurelle and Rogue cosmetics took more than one-third of the money in their cancel

Chapter: I’m PregnantZoe pulled the door open.A crumpled ball of paper hit her square in the face before she even registered Victoria standing there."Ow!" Zoe pressed a hand to her cheek. "What is wrong with you people today?"Victoria stood in the middle of the assistant's office, chest heaving, her mascara already smudged like she'd been crying for a while before deciding to storm the building. Emery’s assistant hovered behind her with his hands raised, clearly having given up trying to stop her."Victoria." Emery appeared in the doorway behind Zoe."This is not the place." His voice was tight and sharp."I don't care anymore, Emery!" Victoria's voice cracked, loud enough that two people at the far end of the floor actually stood up from their desks to look."You have been avoiding my calls for three days. Three whole days! While you run around trying to win back a woman who kicked you in the face on the internet!"Emery had the guts to look embarrassed. He threw Zoe a cautious look, "Victoria, low

Chapter: I already regret so many thingsBrooke's mouth fell open, she blinked furiously, each eyelash movement looking faster than the last."How dare you?!" she snapped."How dare I what? Speak the truth?" Zoe shrugged unconcerned. "You brought him up first. There’s a reason we should let sleeping dogs lie."Brooke wheezed, her index finger pointing at Zoe. Her mouth flapped open and close with nothing to say.Emery slammed his palm on the desk. "Enough! Both of you!"The silence which settled was thick and ugly.Zoe smoothed the front of her dress, trying not to show her excitement at ruffling the Landon siblings feathers.‘This feels freaking great. Imagine if I had done this earlier instead of catering to their every whim like an underpaid servant.’ Zoe’s mind came up with that thought that same minute.Brooke sat rigid, arms crossed, glaring holes into the side of Zoe's face, her jaw working like she was chewing on every insult she wasn't allowed to say out loud in front of her brother.Zoe's eyes dropped to Brooke's

Chapter: Your dead fatherEmery’s mouth flapped open and close.His face turned red from anger.But at the end, he said nothing, huffing as he sat down.Zoe shrugged.In the past, she would have bent over to quell his anger, trying to placate him in whatever way possible.She sneered.That Zoe was dead.“That was harsh, Zoe.” Brooke scowled.“Oh, really?” Zoe raised her eyebrows in mock surprise.“I’m sorry Brooke. I didn’t realize you could be this weak.” Zoe placed her hand on her chest.Brooke stared at her in surprise.“I — I —. It’s fine. Friends don’t hold grudges against each other.”Zoe’s eyebrows travelled up.Now, it was her turn to be surprised.“I poured a plate of spagetthi sauce on you.”“Ah, Yes. But I was wrong.” Brooke shook her head.“I did insinuate that you were cheating on Emery when ———, you know ——-” she trailed off.“Hmm.” Zoe tilted her head to the side a little.“I figured that you destroying the beautiful couture dress that made a dent in my account settled our accounts.”Zoe looked
