Bound to my Ex-husband's Deadly Rival
Elara gave up everything for love...her trust, her inheritance, her future. But the two people she trusted most, her husband and her best friend, destroyed it all with a betrayal so cruel it left her shattered.
Just when she thought she had nothing left, a stranger emerged from the shadows. Only Axel was no stranger at all. He was her Ex-husband's Nemesis.
Cold-blooded, ruthless, and dangerously obsessed with her.
With one careless signature on a contract, Elara becomes bound to Axel, a man whose name inspires fear, whose touch ignites her, and whose secrets threaten to unravel her very reality. He carries scars that hide darker truths and a hunger for her that blurs the line between protection and possession.
Soon, she realizes the betrayal was only the beginning. The truth waiting in the shadows is far more dangerous than she ever imagined.
In a world where trust is a weapon, Elara must decide: with Axel by her side, will she surrender to his dark side and become the villain in her own story or will she rise from the ashes and burn her enemies to the ground?

Chapter: Chapter 8 Watch your step“You had to see the look on his face, like he had seen a ghost,” I screamed, laughing in excitement as I climbed the stairs to my room, my heels in one hand as Axel followed behind me.“Did you see him? did you see the horror written all over his face the moment he spotted you?” I turned to Axel, smiling ear to ear. My expression, a direct opposite of the one on his face.“Watch your step,” he said, completely ignoring my question.I rolled my eyes and took a step when….“Whoaaaaaa,” I screamed as I missed my foot and immediately lost my balance. I squeezed my eyes shut, bracing for the excruciating pain I would feel the moment my back hit the ground. But to my surprise….nothing came.I gently opened my eyes and I gasped, his familiar gray eyes staring down at me with his hands firm against my back, steadying me in place.He'd caught me.He tilted his head slowly, gaze unwavering as he spoke. “I told you to watch your step.” Why do I always end up in the most awkward positions with

Chapter: Chapter 7 Elyste & Co.I got back to the spa just as Cyrus was walking in and We went straight to the massage room together before heading into the sauna.The temperature in the sauna was a bit higher than normal, but not too hot.“How's it going with you and Axel?” Cyrus questioned.Axel.I couldn't help but smile at the thought of him, how he just bought a million dollar company in my name.“He's okay,” I said in a low tone. “Do you think maybe he's not all bad?” I asked him.“Elara.”“I mean, maybe we're missing something and he's not the kind of person we think he is.” “Did something happen? Did he say something to you?” Cyrus placed his hands on my shoulders and turned me to look at him.“It's just….” I hesitated for a second then continued, “he's been nice to me, and…and I don't know…..maybe we're just misunderstanding him,” I lifted my gaze to meet Cyrus eyes.“Elara, I don't know what he's done or what he's said to you, but trust me, it's all part of his games. I mean, we're talking about the same

Chapter: Chapter 6 I didn't see anythingI tried to suppress the memory from last night as I sat with Axel in the back of his car.The butler had asked me to get dressed, I was to accompany Axel somewhere and now we were in his car, on our way to God knows where.With the nervous tension from our encounter last night still clinging to me, I couldn’t find the courage to say even a single word to him.“I didn't see anything,” he spoke, breaking the awkward silence. “What?”“Last night, I didn't see anything when your robe fell,” he said, turning to look at me.I quickly tore my gaze from his and fixed my eyes on the road as I gulped, letting out a sigh of relief.Thank God!The car pulled up to a towering skyscraper that seemed to touch the sky, its glass exterior glowing under the sunlight like a jewel.The moment we stepped inside, I couldn't help but gawk at what I was looking at, the interior was even more stunning. Delicate, intricate floral designs wove seamlessly into an ultra-modern aesthetic, a perfect balance of el

Chapter: Little Kitten I didn't want to believe it at first, that my parents were alive, that Axel had something to do with it, but with the evidence Cyrus showed me, there was no denying the fact.For the past three years, I've been in and out of therapy, struggling to accept the fact that I was an orphan, mourning my parents who were in fact alive. Just because some inconsiderate evil monster who saw humans as pawns decided to abduct my parents, and fake their deaths for selfish reasons.“Elara you have to play it cool, confronting him is out of the question,” Cyrus insisted.“Yeah I know that, if he could make my parents disappear from prison, there's no predicting what he can do now that he's out.” I got up from the bed and folded my hands, pacing back and forth.“We need to get enough information and more solid evidence and bring it before the FBA, we might not be strong enough to take him ourselves but the American government can help us do that.” Cyrus was right, going against him ourselves was sui

Chapter: Chapter 4 We need to talkOne minute I was being discarded by my husband, and the next, I was married to his brother…on my way to what he called our new home.I kept my eyes fixed on the window as the car pulled into the house, the heavy gates parting to reveal what lay beyond. A massive black stone fortress rose before me, towering into the sky. Its sharp edges softened by sleek, intricate designs, it looked like one of those ultra-modern mansions you only saw in glossy magazines. One glance was enough to know it cost a fortune.The car came to a halt and a suited man, built like he was bouncer walked towards the car and opened the door for me.Fancy.“The boss asked me to take you to your room….come with me,” he said, as he led me into the house, and then to my room.“The butler will come and get you in few hours,” the man said as he turned to leave.The walls in the room were brown, the worst colour possible. A soft scent of vanilla filled the air l, and my shoulders dropped as I inhaled deeply, savouring

Chapter: Chapter 3 You orchestrated this, didn't you?I squeezed my eyes shut and opened it again, hoping they were playing tricks on me, but sadly, they weren't.Who is this man??? The cold air from the air-conditioning hit my body and I immediately realised I was naked, I gasped and dragged the duvet to cover myself.I tried to recall want happened last night, but I couldn't. The only thing I remembered was the kiss and then he carried me to the bed. The rest was a blur.But considering the fact that I was naked, it was obvious we had sex.“Fuck!” I cursed. And here i was thinking Dorian came back for me. So delusional.I have to leave, and I have to leave now, before this gets more complicated than it already is.I put on my clothes which were carefully folded on the bedside table and tiptoed towards the door, my purse and heels in one hand as I twisted the door knob with the other….but it didn't budge.I tried again and again, but the door was locked shut.“I figured you would do that…..” a deep baritone voice sent vibrations down m
