Return Of The Betrayed Heiress
She made him powerful. He threw her away. Now it's payback time.
Emelda Jones left behind her rich family and comfortable life to help the man she loved succeed. Allen Carter had nothing when they met, but Emelda believed in him. She worked hard behind the scenes while he got all the fame and glory. He kept promising they'd build something amazing together.
But when Allen finally made it big, he did the worst thing possible—he dumped her for someone else and pretended like Emelda never helped him at all.
"Don't you think that I'm totally out of your league now?" he said to her.
Those harsh words didn't just break her heart. They woke up something fierce inside her.
So Emelda went back to her wealthy family and agreed to marry someone who could give her back the power and status she'd given up. When she ran into Allen again, she wasn't the same woman who used to hide in his shadow. Now she had bodyguards, confidence, and serious money behind her.
Allen couldn't believe his eyes. And when he had the nerve to call her a gold digger, Emelda hit him with the truth that would ruin him:
"Gold digger? No, I am the gold maker!"
Now Emelda has everything she needs—money, connections, and a burning need to get even. She's about to show Allen Carter exactly what happens when you mess with the wrong woman. Without her, he's nothing, and she's going to prove it.
Ready to see Emelda get her revenge? Start reading now and watch her take down the man who thought he could use her and throw her away!

Chapter: Chapter 44: Wounds Reopened The reporter looked surprised by my answer. She'd expected something more dramatic. More definitive."What's next for you?"For once, the answer came with calm certainty."Building something beautiful. The foundation Smith and I have been planning. Maybe a book about healing after betrayal. Definitely a life that's bigger than the worst thing that ever happened to me."As the evening wound down, Smith and I stood outside the theater. We breathed in the cool night air. The red carpet was being rolled up. The photographers were packing their equipment. The media circus was moving on to the next story."How do you feel?" Smith asked."Free," I said without hesitation. "After two years, I finally feel completely unbound.”He pulled me close. I melted into his embrace. "I'm proud of you. Not just tonight, but for everything. For the strength it took to rebuild. For the courage it took to face Allen yesterday. For the grace you showed tonight.""We rebuilt. You've been with me through every

Chapter: Chapter 43: Scars In The LightI thought about Allen as I'd left him. Broken. Defeated. No longer the powerful figure who'd haunted my nightmares. "That the person I've been fighting in my head isn't real anymore. That holding onto anger was hurting me more than it was hurting him.""And?""And that I don't want to waste any more time letting his choices dictate my happiness."Margaret smiled. "That's my girl. You know, I've spent the last two years watching you rebuild your life with Smith. And I've been so proud of your strength. But I could also see the shadows Allen had left behind. Today, those shadows seem lighter.""They are. I feel like I can finally move forward without constantly looking over my shoulder.""Good. Because you have a beautiful life ahead of you, sweetheart. Don't let Allen steal any more of your happiness."That night as I lay in my bed, I understood now why my mother had always seemed so guarded. Why she'd been slow to warm to new people. Why she'd built walls around her heart that even I

Chapter: Chapter 42: The Secrets She Kept"Because I have nothing left to lie for."I stared at him. I saw the truth of it written in every line of his face. The man who'd once commanded boardrooms and charmed investors was gone. What remained was someone who'd lost everything. His freedom. His reputation. His future. Someone who had no reason to perform anymore."I know this doesn't fix anything," he continued. "I know saying I'm sorry doesn't undo what I did to you. But I needed you to know that what we had in the beginning, that was real. My feelings for you were real."Tears I hadn't expected began burning behind my eyes.I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand. I was angry at myself for crying in front of him. "You don't get to make me feel sorry for you, Allen.""I don't want your pity. I want you to know the truth so you can stop carrying my poison around inside you."His words hit too close to home. The anger I'd been nurturing. Feeding. Using as fuel. Maybe it was poisoning me. Maybe that's why even the happiest mome

Chapter: Chapter 41: Cage Of Regret Smith's face went completely still. The warmth that had been there moments before vanished. Something cold and protective replaced it."What kind of something else?"I took a shaky breath. "I'm going to visit Allen in prison. Tomorrow."The silence stretched between us like a chasm. Smith stared at me. It was as if I'd just announced I wanted to jump off a cliff. When he finally spoke, his voice was carefully controlled."No.""Smith…""Absolutely not." He stepped back. He ran both hands through his hair. "Emelda, what could you possibly gain from seeing that man?""Closure. Understanding. I don't know." The words tumbled out before I could stop them. "I just know I need to see him. To look him in the eye and…""And what? Forgive him? Let him apologize and pretend that makes up for what he did to you?" Smith's voice rose despite his obvious effort to stay calm. "He destroyed your life. He stole your work. Your reputation. Your sense of self-worth. And now you want to give him th

Chapter: Chapter 40: Secrets In Plain Sight The drive to Smith's mansion dragged beneath the weight of my thoughts. David's words echoing in my mind with each mile.This isn't just work, Emelda. This is purpose.The weight of his proposal sat heavy in my chest. It competed with the promise I'd made to myself. And to Smith. About being home by seven.I was actually going to keep that promise.The electronic gates recognized my car. They swung open silently. As I pulled into the circular driveway, I noticed something different.Warm golden light spilled from every window. Candles flickered on the front steps. My heart did a little flip.Smith had been planning something.I pushed through the front door and stopped dead. The entire foyer was lined with white roses. My favorites. Slow R&B music drifted from the living room. The air carried the rich scent of something incredible cooking."Smith?""In here." His voice came from the dining room. Warm with barely contained excitement.I followed the sound and felt my breath catch. The

Chapter: Chapter 39: An Unexpected Offer The knock at my door interrupted my moment of quiet resolution. I glanced at my watch – barely ten in the morning, and I'd already promised Smith I'd be home by seven. For once, I was going to keep that promise."Come in."David Kim stepped through the doorway, and I felt my breath catch. I hadn't seen him since the trial six months ago, when his testimony had been the final nail in Allen's coffin. He looked different now – thinner, more tired, but somehow lighter too. The weight of carrying Allen's secrets for years had lifted from his shoulders."Emelda." He offered a tentative smile. "Thank you for seeing me without an appointment."I gestured to the chair Jessica had vacated. "David. This is unexpected."He settled into the seat, his hands fidgeting with a manila folder. "I know we didn't part on the best terms."That was putting it mildly. David had been complicit in Allen's schemes for three years before growing a conscience. While his eventual testimony had been crucial, I'd s

Enter Emily Hawthorne, a spirited botanist with a passion for unraveling the town's rich tapestry of folklore. When Emily stumbles upon cryptic clues hinting at the presence of supernatural beings lurking in the shadows, her insatiable curiosity is piqued.

Chapter: Chapter 164: Reflections and New BeginningsThe battlefield lay quiet now, the echoes of battle replaced by the murmurs of the survivors. Silverwood Falls, though scarred and battered, began to breathe again, its people emerging from the shadows of fear and loss.I stood at the edge of the clearing, looking out over the town that had become my home. The sky was just starting to lighten with the first hints of dawn, casting a soft glow over the wreckage and the weary figures moving among it. The air was thick with the scent of smoke and earth, but there was also a new undertone of hope.Nathanial stood beside me, his presence a comforting anchor. He had bandages wrapped around his arms and a determined set to his jaw. Despite the exhaustion etched into his features, his eyes were bright, full of the unspoken promise that we would rebuild, no matter the cost."It's over," he said softly, breaking the silence.I nodded, though my heart was heavy with the knowledge that our victory had come at a steep price. So many of our friends

Chapter: Chapter 163: The Last ShowdownThe battlefield was a storm of chaos and bloodshed. Silverwood Falls trembled under the weight of the conflict, the clash of claws, and the roar of battle cries echoing through the night. Everywhere I looked, my friends and allies fought valiantly, but the losses were staggering. The Harbinger's forces were relentless, and their dark magic added a terrifying edge to their assaults.I moved through the battlefield with a singular purpose, my eyes locked on The Harbinger. His presence was a beacon of malevolence, drawing me forward like a moth to a flame. His dark form loomed ahead, his eyes glowing with a sinister light as he cut down anyone who dared to challenge him.My heart pounded in my chest as I approached, the weight of the ancient relic heavy in my hand. The knowledge and power I had gained from the sanctuary coursed through me, every lesson and every trial leading to this moment.

Chapter: Chapter 162: The Last StandThe air was thick with tension as we gathered in the council chamber, the ancient crystal in my hands pulsating with a warm, reassuring light. Nathanial, Lila, Elijah, and I stood around a makeshift war table, mapping out our final stand."The Harbinger’s forces are amassing just outside the town," Nathanial said, pointing to the map. "We need to strike hard and fast before they can fully breach our defenses."Lila nodded, her eyes scanning the ancient scrolls. "The ritual we've pieced together is powerful, but it will take time to perform. We need to hold them off long enough to complete it."Elijah stepped forward, his face set with determination. "I'll lead the defensive line. We can't let them reach the heart of the town."I took a deep breath, feeling the weight of leadership settle on my shoulders. "Lila and I will perform the ritual. Nathanial, you need to stay with us. Your strength will be crucial in channeling the relic's power."Nathanial squeezed my hand, his gaze steady.

Chapter: Chapter 161: Unholy AllianceThe chaos outside intensified as shadows and screams filled the air. My mind raced, trying to piece together our next move. Suddenly, a flash of insight struck me, and I realized there was more to The Harbinger's attacks than sheer brutality."Elara," I said, urgency tinging my voice, "we need to dig deeper. There's something we're missing. The Harbinger isn't acting alone."We spread out ancient texts and fragments of old maps, scanning for clues. Elara's fingers stopped on a passage, her eyes widening. "Emily, look at this."The text described an alliance between an ancient entity and a group of human adversaries. The words leapt off the page, confirming my worst fears. "The Harbinger is working with a rogue faction of The Order."Elara's face paled. "If that's true, their combined forces are even more dangerous than we imagined."Nathanial burst into the room, covered in dirt and blood. "Emily, we can't hold them off much longer. The defenses are failing."I turned to him, my resol

Chapter: Chapter 160: The Awakening of The HarbingerThe blinding light receded, leaving us standing in a room that now felt alive with ancient power. The relic hummed with energy in my hands, its warmth seeping into my skin. Elijah stood by my side, his eyes wide with awe and concern.Before we could fully comprehend the relic’s significance, the ground beneath us shook violently, and a chilling wind swept through the chamber. The air grew thick with an oppressive presence. An ancient force had been awakened."Do you feel that?" Elijah asked, his voice barely above a whisper.I nodded, gripping the relic tightly. "We need to get out of here. Now."As we turned to leave, a shadowy figure materialized before us, its form shifting and indistinct. The air around it crackled with dark energy, and a deep, resonant voice filled the chamber. "You dare to awaken me?"The figure solidified into a menacing entity, cloaked in darkness and exuding a palpable aura of malevolence. This was The Harbinger, an ancient entity bound to the relic, now free
