He Divorced Me, I Marry A Bigger Billionaire!

He Divorced Me, I Marry A Bigger Billionaire!

"Sign this. We're done." Aaliyah Monroe thought she’d found love with a rising billionaire, Henry Smith—until he blindsided her with divorce papers on their fourth anniversary, revealing her twin sister, Aurora, as his true love. Betrayed and cast out, Aaliyah drowns her fury in a nightclub, where she meets Orrin Hayes, a billionaire mogul who falls for her instantly. He offers her a deal– “Aaliyah, I’m smitten. You’re fire, and I want to burn. Marry me.” She froze as her heart tripped. “What?” “Not for love, not yet,” he said with his eyes glinting. “A deal. You want revenge on Henry and Aurora? I’ve got the power to crush them. Marry me, and I’m yours—my money, my connections, my everything. We’ll make them beg.” She stared, the whiskey clouded her head but not her judgment. The idea was insane, but it lit a spark. Henry’s face on that stage and Aurora’s smirk—they deserved to fall. And Orrin? He was a weapon, wrapped in charm and danger. “You’re serious?” she asked, testing him. “Dead serious.” He took her hand into his, gently. “I’m half in love with you already. Say yes, and we’ll shake the world.” She laughed, the sound was shaky but real. “You’re crazy. But… okay. Yes.” Aaliyah agreed. But there was one thing she was yet to inform this charming yet mischievous Billionaire suggesting marriage to her– she's carrying her ex husband’s child. Will she successfully use him to climb the ladder and get her revenge despite having a child for her ex-husband? Or will a second chance in love surface?

Chapter: Chapter 179: THE FINALE
Aaliyah’s POV ONE MONTH LATER I stood in front of the mirror, my hands fumbling behind me as I tried to pull the zipper of my dress up. The satin fabric kept slipping through my fingers and I could hear my own frustrated sighs filling the quiet room. My cheeks were flushed already, not from the make-up, but from the sheer struggle of trying to get myself together. It was supposed to be a simple thing; zip the dress, adjust the neckline and fix the bouquet. But of course, my nerves wouldn’t let me. The sound of a knock at the door startled me. I froze, my hands halfway at my back, when the door opened just enough for Orrin to poke his head in. “You done yet?” he asked, his voice warm but teasing. I quickly straightened, caught like a child doing something silly. “Almost,” I mumbled. He stepped inside fully and when his eyes fell on me, his brows lifted. I could see the curve of a smile tugging at his lips. “Almost? Looks like you’re fighting a war with that zi

Aaliyah’s POV I almost couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Just moments ago, I had been sitting alone in the living room, staring at nothing with my fingers brushing against my lips where his mouth had touched me earlier. I’d replayed it in my head a hundred times already, wondering if I was foolish, wondering if maybe I had imagined the way his chest had tightened against mine. And now… now he was here. At my door. His tall figure filled the doorway, his eyes locked on mine. For a moment, I forgot how to breathe. Then his voice came, deep, steady, and desperate. “Take me to a hospital. Like you asked before. Please. I want my real memories back.” My heart jumped violently. My lips parted. “What?” I whispered, almost afraid I hadn’t heard him right. He didn’t waver. His jaw tightened, and he repeated the words slowly. “I said take me to a hospital. I need my real memories back. There’s no time.” No time. His urgency pulled me back into motion. My chest rose and fell quickly,

Orrin’s POV“Babe, what were you doing that you didn’t open quicker?”Annabelle stood by the door with that always bright little smile of hers, her dark eyes roaming the room. My throat felt dry; I cleared it and forced out a reply.“I was sleeping, sweetheart.”Her brows pinched slightly as her gaze landed on the table. The untouched plate sat there like proof of my lie. Her smile lingered, but it had a faint edge to it.“Sleeping? Then who was that for?” she asked, pointing to the meal.I leaned back in the chair, willing myself to stay calm. “It was mine. But then I lost my appetite and felt tired so I went to have a short nap.”She stepped closer, her voice softening. “I told you to wait for me before we eat. Maybe that’s why you lost your appetite, trying to eat without me.”A small laugh left me, though my chest was heavy. “Maybe. Should I dish yours out too?”Her eyes brightened immediately, as if nothing was off. “Yes, please. I’ve been starving all day.”I stood, brushing pa

Aaliyah’s POVI didn’t know what to feel or even what to say. My throat was tight, my mind racing with thoughts that only made my chest heavier. Should I tell him everything, spill it all out once and for all? Or should I hold on just a little longer, afraid that if I told him too much, he’d push me away again?He must have seen something in my face because he gave a small nod, almost as if to dismiss the moment. “Forget it,” he muttered. “I’m probably just being paranoid.”My heart sank.He turned slightly toward the table, his voice calmer now. “Just… enjoy your meal. I’ll leave you to it.” He started walking away.“Screw it,” I whispered under my breath, before my courage could fail me.I reached out quickly and grabbed his hand. His steps faltered. He looked down at my hand holding his, then back at my face, confusion in his eyes.“Should I tell you why?” I blurted. “Should I tell you who it is you don’t remember?”His body stilled. Slowly, he turned fully to me, his brows draw

Aaliyah’s POVMy heart pounded so loudly I feared he could hear it. Could it be…? Did something break through that fog in his mind? His eyes were narrowed, brows pinched like he was fighting with himself, struggling to remember something.I swallowed hard, trying to control my voice. “Where… where have you seen this ring before?” I asked, holding my hand steady.He rubbed his temples, almost as if the effort to remember was physically painful. His jaw clenched. “I don’t know. I’m trying to place it. I’ve seen it before… I know I have.”My pulse quickened. “Did you… maybe… gift it to someone?”The moment the words left my mouth, recognition flickered across his face. His eyes widened and for a second, hope surged in me so strongly it almost made me dizzy.“You’re right,” he murmured, almost to himself. “Yes. I did give it to someone.”I held my breath. My nails dug into my palm under the table. “You did?”Slowly, he lifted his gaze back to me. “Yes. But… how do you know that?” His v

Aaliyah’s POV I heard footsteps approach the door. Each one felt like it was crushing against my chest, heavier, louder, until my heart was no longer beating at a normal pace but pounding like a drum. My palms grew damp and I pressed them against the sides of my dress, trying to calm myself, but it was no use. I could hear my own breathing in my ears.The lock clicked, and then the door finally opened.His eyes met mine.I froze. Just like that, every word I had rehearsed in my head vanished. He stood there, taller than I remembered, his frame filling the doorway. His eyes darkened almost immediately when recognition hit—or maybe not recognition, just annoyance. His brows pulled together in a frown.“What are you doing here?” His voice was firm, guarded, the kind of tone meant to chase someone away.I forced a smile, though my lips trembled. “I came to apologize for earlier.”His gaze didn’t soften. If anything, it grew sharper, like he didn’t believe me for a second. But after a m

The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal

The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal

"This is ridiculous," she said with a puzzled look on her face. "A contract marriage?" … Serena Mundt was a young woman in her late 20s with no dreams.

Chapter: Chapter 78
It was a beautiful wedding day, set in a charming open area surrounded by tall, swaying palm trees that gently rustled in the warm breeze. The sun shone brightly, casting a soft glow over the small gathering of finely decorated chairs and tables. The decorations were simple yet elegant, perfectly complementing the serene atmosphere. White linen draped gracefully over golden chairs, each adorned with delicate sprigs of greenery and small white flowers, adding a touch of nature to the setting. A golden arch stood at the front, decorated with flowing white fabric and clusters of vibrant blooms in soft pastel colours. The small tables were dressed in light-coloured tablecloths, each holding a single vase filled with fresh flowers, bringing a pop of colour to the scene. Flickering candles were placed on the tables, ready to light up as the sun began to set, casting a warm and inviting glow. Steadily, the guests began to find their seats, creating a cozy atmosphere filled wit

The stocks are rising at a remarkably fast pace, and it is advisable for anyone interested to—”The driver lowered the volume of the radio as the passenger he was carrying wanted to make a phone call.Seated behind him was Mr. Te-Sumi, accompanied by another man who was the one making the call. After finishing his conversation, the man turned to his boss, Mr. Te-Sumi.“I believe we don’t need to attend the meeting anymore, sir,” the man said confidently. Mr. Te-Sumi raised an eyebrow, indicating that he was curious and wanted to hear more about this statement.“Mr. Sullivan has finally woken up. With that, there’s no longer a need for us to meet with the board to discuss the idea of bringing in a new chairman,” the man explained, a hint of relief in his voice.Mr. Te-Sumi nodded in understanding. “I see your p

Serena slowly opened her eyes to find herself staring at a bright white ceiling. A delicate chandelier hung gracefully from above, casting soft light around the room. She felt the tightness of an oxygen mask over her face, and a wave of dizziness and nausea washed over her. Confusion filled her mind as she wondered, where was she?It was obvious she was in a hospital ward, the sound of a beeping monitor beside her providing a rhythmic backdrop to her thoughts. She attempted to sit up, but her body felt heavy and unresponsive. What had happened to her?As she lay there, still and quiet, her memories began to flood back. She recalled the terrifying moment when Elene had her in a chokehold, while Frederick desperately tried to save her. She remembered they were talking a lot, but Serena could barely hear them as she struggled to break free from Elene’s tight grip. That was when Elene shot her and she collapsed.She attempted to lift her body once again, but it felt impossible. “Troy?

A scoff slipped out from Elene’s lips. “After all these years, Frederick, it really took you this long to remember?”“You’ve changed so much,” he replied, trying to process his memories.“I had to change. It was necessary for me to stay close to you without raising any suspicions. Now, where were we? Ah, yes. I was about to ask you to leave peacefully, or else it won’t just be Serena who gets hurt.”Frederick let out a sigh. “I’m afraid I can’t do that. I can’t leave her.”Elene’s expression hardened, her brows knitting together in fury. “Oh, so you’re declaring war between us right now, are you?”“There won’t be any war, Elene. You need to let Serena go, and we can sort out whatever issues we have between us, like—”But before he could finish, a loud gunshot rang out, followed by a piercing scream from Serena. Elene had shot her in the other leg.“Serena!” Frederick shouted, sprinting towards her despite Elene now aiming the gun at him. Just as she was about to pull the trigger, Fred

After the reunion, Frederick turned to one of the men who had come with him and instructed him to take Dhoti and Troy outside for their safety until he could return with Serena.However, Dhoti was not on board with this plan. “I want to go with you. Serena is still somewhere in here and I can't just leave her behind,” she said, her voice filled with desperation and concern.“Sir,” one of the armed men called out to Frederick, “the rest of our team has arrived.”Frederick nodded in acknowledgment. “Make sure to inform them to carefully observe the entire building. Search every nook and cranny and ensure that everyone is accounted for,” he instructed the man, who then stepped away to communicate via a burner phone.Frederick then turned his attention to Dhoti, speaking earnestly, “I care for Serena just as much as you do– and I love her deeply. You have to trust me, Dhoti. I will bring her back safely.”Dhoti hesitated for a moment, weighing her options, but eventually nodded, albeit re

The room was cast in a soft, dim light, but the entrance remained shrouded in shadows. As the figure who had spoken stepped further inside, the first thing that caught Serena's eye was a striking head of red bobbed hair.That alone made Serena freeze on the spot, confusion setting over her as a sense of realisation and surprise washed her.As the light illuminated the person’s face, Serena confirmed it– Elene.Her eyes widened in disbelief, and her heart began to race uncontrollably. “It’s you?” she whispered, still grappling with the shock of seeing her.Troy pulled his mother closer to him, clearly frightened by the familiar face that had just emerged. Serena noticed his reaction and shot a fierce glare at Elene.“What have you done to my son?” she demanded, her voice laced with anger and fear.Elene simply smiled, a chilling expression that sent shivers down Serena's spine. “Oh him? Well, let me see how I can explain this. We had a little game, and he pissed me off, so I decided t

My Boss, My Nextdoor Neighbor And Me

My Boss, My Nextdoor Neighbor And Me

What were the odds that I'd just fucked my boss and been too buzzed, too horny to clock it? Impossible. Catastrophic. My life was like a ticking bomb of fuckups already; this would only make it explode. "Get a grip, Shayle," I whispered, shaking my head hard. It can't be. -------------- What would you do if you found out you only had four months left to live? In the case of Shayle Vale, she was the definition of a plain Jane; quiet, overlooked, and freshly dumped by a boyfriend who called her ‘boring’. But when the doctor drops her death sentence, she decides ‘boring’ dies today. She made a list; Quit her job, Lose her virginity to her hot next-door neighbor, get a tattoo and Do what the fuck she wants. But life doesn’t play fair. Her shitty boss refused to accept her resignation, her neighbor was allegedly still a virgin, and nothing on her list was going according to plan. Now Shayle’s plain, safe little life is spiraling into messy office wars, late-night temptations, secrets she never saw coming and a toxic love triangle. Will she tick off her last wishes, or will fate throw her off the list completely and into the arms of two sinfully attractive men instead?

SHAYLE The moment Lucien left the man and kept walking, I hurried after him. My heels clicked too fast on the floor and I almost tripped, but I still rushed until I caught up with him. I grabbed the air beside his arm, not touching him, but close enough to make him stop.“What the heck did you mean by that?” My voice came out sharper than I meant, but I didn’t care.He didn’t even spare me a full look. “What part didn’t you understand? You’re coming with me for the event tonight.”Kieran instantly came to my mind. His smile this morning. The soft tone he used when he told me he wanted me to be his plus one. The way he held my hand and whispered that he’d remind me every day how beautiful I looked. My stomach twisted painfully. I couldn’t do both. There was no way in hell.“That won’t be possible,” I shot back, fighting to keep my voice steady. “I already have somewhere to be. With someone.”That made him stop completely. He turned slowly. His eyes lowered a little as if he was try

SHAYLE The chairman’s eyes lifted the moment I walked in. His expression was calm, almost welcoming, which only made my stomach twist harder.“Ah, Shayle Vale” he greeted. “I was expecting you.”Expecting me? Since when did the chairman ever expect me? I forced a polite nod, even though my brain was already spiraling.“Come in. Take a seat.”My legs somehow obeyed before my mind did. I walked quietly to the chair across from Lucien and sat down, smoothing the letter in my hand under the table. Lucien was relaxed, hands in his pockets, like he owned the entire damn building. He looked right at me with that smug little smile tugging at his lips.Then he winked.Winked.Before I even had the chance to register that, he stood up slowly.“I’ll leave now” he told the chairman. “I have an important meeting.”Bullshit. I knew his schedule like the back of my hand. There was no meeting. Not even a hint of one. So why was he leaving? Did he set something up? Did he warn the chairman ahead of

SHAYLEI never thought those words could make the air feel heavy, but the moment Lucien asked the question, everything inside me stilled. My throat tightened, my palms grew damp, and I felt both Laureen and Maddie watching me closely. Their excitement was still buzzing in the room, but Lucien’s stare swallowed every bit of it.His eyes were sharp, unreadable, too dark for this early in the morning. I felt the pressure of his gaze on my skin, like he wasn’t just waiting for an answer but dissecting me with his silence.I swallowed and forced my voice to work. “Yes,” I murmured. “It’s true.”His eyes darkened. Not dramatically, not like in a movie where everything shifts. Just a small change, almost invisible, but I caught it. Something tightened in his jaw. His fingers curled slightly at his side.But he kept his mouth shut.He didn’t congratulate me. Didn’t smile. Didn’t even nod. He just stood there, staring at me, like the entire damn world suddenly made no sense to him.The sil

SHALYEThe next morning,I got ready to leave. Immediately I stepped out,I met him. The first glimpse of him made my chest tighten in a way I couldn’t quite explain. Kieran stood by my door, one hand in his pocket, the other holding car keys. His smile was calm, confident, warm enough to make my stomach do flips, and for a moment, I almost forgot the mess I was walking into. My work outfit didn’t matter; my hair wasn’t perfect, but the way he looked at me made me feel… noticed. Alive.“You ready?” he asked lightly, gesturing toward the car.I nodded, trying to act casual, though my heart was hammering. “Yeah,” I murmured, returning his smile.When we got into the car, the familiar scent of his cologne wrapped around me, and I had to consciously inhale deeply to steady myself. He didn’t start talking immediately; he just drove, letting the silence fill the space comfortably, like it was meant to be savored, not rushed.Finally, he spoke, his voice soft yet carrying that familiar weigh

He can’t know.I searched his eyes immediately, looking for the smallest flicker of recognition. His gaze was wide, startled, like he was surprised by what just happened also. Not a single trace of realization.He didn’t know. Thank God, he didn’t know.But the next second, my hand flew across his face before I could even think. The sound echoed in the quiet street, and even I flinched. My palm stung, and for a heartbeat, I froze, shocked by my own reaction.He deserved it though. Every bit of it.His head turned slightly from the impact. When he looked back, his Adam’s apple moved up and down, and his eyes found mine again. I was breathing fast, my chest rising and falling like I had run a mile.“What the fuck

His voice came through the phone again, calm but heavy. “Come out. It won’t take long.”Then he hung up.I stared at my screen, speechless for a moment, then looked out the window again. His blue car was still parked there, headlights still on, engine sounding smoothly.He stepped out, leaned against the car, and shoved his hands in his pockets like he had every damn right to be here.I blew out a frustrated sigh, grabbed a scarf from my bed, and wrapped it around my neck. I wasn’t going out there because I wanted to. I just wanted to know what the hell was so important that he had to drag me out of bed at midnight.The night air bit my skin the moment I stepped outside. My steps were quiet as I matched towards him and my breath came out in visible puffs. When I reached him, I kept my distance.“Are you aw

I Swore Off Men; But My Enemy Wants An Exception

"You don’t scare me, Llewellyn,” I lifted my chin as I spoke even though my pulse betrayed me. Cesare’s lips curved into a wicked smirk as he stepped closer and spoke in a husky murmur. “That’s the problem, Rose… maybe you should be. Because I’m done pretending I don’t want you. I’ll have you—whether you let me or not.” "But you’ve always hated me.” His fingers brushed my jaw, tilting my face up to his. I felt my skin tingle and goosebumps rising. “Hate? Sweetheart, I’ve never hated you. I’ve only wanted you so much it felt like war.” ~~~~~~~~~ Rosette Jenner had everything—wealth, beauty, and power. But all she wanted was love untainted by power.

Chapter: Chapter 90: The End
Rosette’s Point of ViewLater that night, after the guests had gone and the last flickers of candles had died down, silence filled the air. The good kind of silence, soft and full rather than empty.Ethan was asleep in the room down the hall, tucked beneath a white blanket, his little bear still in his arms. The entire day had worn him out; the laughter, the flashing lights, the hugs, the chaos of people cooing over him. He had been the heart of the wedding without even knowing it.I slipped quietly onto the balcony, barefoot, still wearing the simple satin robe Lisa had laid out for me. The city stretched endlessly before me, glowing gold and silver beneath a velvet sky. The faint hum of traffic below blended with the sound of the breeze brushing against the glass railings. Somewhere, far off, the ocean glimmered faintly, calm now, as if mirroring the quiet in my chest.For once, there were no cameras, no threats, no ghosts from the past whispering my name. Just peace.And I could

Rosette’s Point of ViewBy morning, everything was a beautiful kind of madness.Lisa was half losing her mind on the phone, arranging things at a speed I didn’t know was humanly possible. I felt bad because I didn't know who else to call for help but my P.A and now she was going insane. Her voice echoed through the hall like a drill sergeant. “No, I said ivory, not white! Ivory! And if the florist doesn’t deliver these roses in two hours, I’ll burn their entire shop!”I stared at her in disbelief. “Lisa, breathe. You’re scaring the staff.”She turned to me with wild eyes. “You’re getting married in seven hours! Do you have any idea how much needs to be done? The caterers, the string quartet, the cake; don’t even get me started on the press outside!”Meanwhile, Cesare was calm. Completely calm. He sat by the window in a crisp white shirt, sipping coffee and scrolling casually through his phone, as if we weren’t in the middle of orchestrating a wedding and birthday party at the same t

Rosette’s Point of ViewOn the day of her sentencing, nothing went wrong. She was given time in prison though I wasn't satisfied with it.The courthouse was still noisy outside when Cesare took my hand and led me toward the car. The drizzle had thickened into real rain, the kind that soaked through even when you tried to run. But he didn’t care. Neither did I. His hand was firm around mine, grounding me like it always did.People were shouting, reporters snapping pictures, their voices merging with the hum of traffic and thunder. The sound barely reached me. Everything around me felt muffled, like I was standing underwater.Cesare opened the door for me, his shirt already damp from the rain, and waited until I slid inside. When he finally entered, shutting out the noise, silence took over. The windshield wipers made slow, rhythmic sounds as the rain kept falling. I stared out the window, watching the blur of city lights and umbrellas. The city looked softer through the rain, like ev

Ray’s arrest made headlines worldwide, but so did the rumor about my bloodline. Half the world saw me as a survivor; the other half whispered fraud.Cesare barely left my side. His presence kept me sane; steady hands, calm words and eyes that promised order when everything else fell apart. But even he couldn’t stop the next blow.Leila resurfaced.Lisa stormed into my office that afternoon, face pale and voice trembling. “She’s back. Leila just showed up at the courthouse with her lawyer. She’s filed a plea deal.”My pen dropped from my hand. “A plea deal for what?”“For cooperation,” Lisa replied, swallowing hard. “She claims she can prove Ray was behind Julio’s murder. But she’s asking for leniency because…”“She’s pregnant,” I cut in flatly.Lisa nodded.I felt something sharp twist in my chest. “She’s using that again?”

Chapter: Chapter 86: It's Over
Rosette's point of view The night dragged like a punishment. I didn’t sleep; I couldn’t. The sea outside Cesare’s mansion crashed loud against the cliffs, its rhythm mocking the storm building inside me. Leila had vanished, Ray was still out there, and the rumor about my bloodline still lingered like poison in the media. Every channel replayed the same damned headline: “Rosette Jenner…Not Julio’s Real Daughter?”I sat on the couch, barefoot, hair a mess, clutching a mug of untouched coffee that had long gone cold. Cesare stood by the window, phone to his ear, his voice sharp and clipped as he spoke to one of his men.“Check every shipping route. If she’s at the harbor, she won’t get far,” he snapped, then lowered his voice. “And find Ray. I want his entire financial trail pulled apart before dawn.”He ended the call and looked at me. The muscles in his jaw ticked, his eyes unreadable. “We’ll find her, Rose. But you have to get some rest.”I scoffed quietly. “Rest? With my father’s

Rosette’s point of viewThey brought Leila in wrapped in perfume and panic. The officers had done their job clean; there was no theater in their movements, only efficiency. She looked smaller under that fluorescent light than she ever did on red carpets and magazine covers. Her platinum hair was a mess from running hands through it, and her mascara had bled into dark strips down her cheeks. She looked human, and that was almost worse.The cameras were already outside the station when I arrived. Flashbulbs popped like small, angry fireworks as I walked in; people craned for a glimpse, hungry for the next headline. I kept my face neutral, my steps deliberate. One foot in front of the other. Own the room, own the moment; that’s what Daddy’s voice told me in my head whenever fear tried to yank me off balance.They took her mugshot. They read her rights. All the while, she kept glancing at me like I was a ghost that had come back to haunt her. I didn’t move. I let the officers do their
