"What are you waiting for Louisa? What part of this do you not understand? What makes you think in that fucked up brain of yours that I'll ever accept you back? You are a slut! You betrayed me and now, you can get the fuck out of my life. Jenna and I"— he entwined their fingers together—" are a thing now." "She's lying to you! She's manipulating you with her looks Alex! She's framing us, trying to ruin our lives!" I sobbed. "Sign the divorce papers now!" he thrusted the divorce papers at me but I bluntly backed away in pain. **" Louisa's perfect world crumbled when her husband, Alex, presented her with divorce papers. The blow was crippling, coming at the very moment she had discovered she was pregnant – a miracle after three years of struggling with infertility. The most crushing blow came when she realized that her husband has been sleeping with her best friend to hurt her. Louisa was forcibly evicted from her home in the rain, jeered and mocked. She's an orphan and has no one to turn to. Surprisingly after an accident, she met a stranger who revealed a shocking truth: she was the heiress to a vast fortune, left behind by her deceased parents. Louisa moves on with her life and three years. She rose to prominence in the business world, forging a lucrative empire and raising her twins. She's cold as ice. Then Alexander reappeared, remorseful and contrite. He badly wants to make things right and do whatever it takes to win her back.. Will she want him back into the lives of her kids?? Or will she give her heart to someone new.. Alexander's rival and former best friend.

"Congratulations ma'am, you're pregnant!" The doctor announced happily, showing me the results with a cool smile.
"What? Doctor, I'm.." I stammered, my heart pounding forcefully as if I would go breathless. I couldn't believe this. I never knew it was possible.
Years ago I was diagnosed with endometriosis. I couldn't give birth. I had no hopes of having a little one in my belly, I knew I would never feel that special baby's kick.
"Yes ma'am, you're two months pregnant. The baby is safe." He smiled warmly and I nearly stumbled, but he caught me with a smile.
My head was spinning fast. My heart was bubbling with excitement. Finally Alex would be happy. In fact, his mother might even love me. I've suffered cruelty in her hands due to the mere fact that I, a poor simple girl, married into their wealthy family. When she discovered my infertility, her hatred for me worsened.
But now everything will be over. God has finally heard my prayers. He's finally given me a chance at happiness.
I thanked the doctor, trying so hard to hide my smile. For weeks, I've noticed slight changes in my body but I never had the guts to go for a checkup. Tonight, I felt restless so I had to sneak out to see a doctor without anyone's notice.
"Alex would be so happy!!" I squealed like a little girl as I rushed out of the hospital.
I decided to call him, barely containing my happiness. There's no way I'm waiting till I get home. Tomorrow we're going shopping for baby's things – I can't wait– and we'll spend the day together, just the two of us.
He picked up on the second ring. "Babe," I smiled breezily. " I have great news."
"So do I." He said in the coldest voice ever, making my heart skip a beat.
What's happening? Why did he sound that way? His tone was so brutal, as if he was suppressing deep seated rage.
I panicked, trying to play it cool. "What...?
My voice got stuck in my throat when I heard a deep throaty moan from the other end of the line.
"Ouch.. Xander!" A girl moaned sweetly, gasping for air. "Faster!!!!"
Alex immediately disconnected the call, leaving me speechless and flustered.
What's happening??? Was someone in the room with him? Were they.. making out???
I immediately boarded a taxi, my heart racing each second as I was driven to our mansion. I literally flew out of the car, desperate to get inside. In the process, I left my wallet in the taxi but I didn't care. I needed to get in now.
I was about to pass Jenna's room, when I heard the moanings loudly. Oh my goodness... Was that Alex's voice?
"Give it to me, baby!!"
"Faster... daddy!!"
I slammed open the door, my eyes widening with dread. My best friend, Jenna, who lived with us, was making out with my husband. Once Alex saw me, he made a deep grunt, ignoring me completely as he kept thrusting in.
She was pinned to the bed, naked, her legs over his shoulders.
My soul left my body. I felt like I was dead, my body turned cold. Slowly, I dropped to my knees, my body suddenly limp and useless.
"Alexander!! What the fuck are you doing??" I screamed madly, tears spilling out of my eyes.
Finally, he pulled out, zipping his trousers. "You loved that, sugar?" He asked Jenna who pouted, pecking his lips. She adjusted her lacy bra and torn panties.
The pain and anger swirling inside me threatened to consume me. This was the same girl I brought to my matrimonial home because a conflagration destroyed her apartment. She's been living with me for a year.
How could they?
"Oh don't act surprised, you bitch! You think you have a right to question me? After what you did?" He growled menacingly.
I gulped in nothing. "I don't know what you're talking about! What did I do?" I fired, trying not to cry. My chest was tightening.
He laughed harshly. "Denying huh?" He shook his head, pursing his lips. Then, he pulled out his phone showing me a video.
My heart cracked. There were some explicit videos and pictures of me and another man naked on the bed. We were kissing and sucking. What the fuck?? This.... never happened.
"You know, when Jenna told me this, I bluntly refused to believe it. She even showed me sultry conversations with you and some stranger, yet I never believed. Until the day you went with Clara to Washington for her business trip. While she was away you probably slept with men. There are at least five videos of you with five different men!!" He yelled with rage. "You can watch all of them, if you like."
"I got the video a month ago, the same day you got back from the Trip.."
"And since then, we've been sleeping together." Jenna added wickedly, twirling her slightly disheveled golden hair.
I looked at the girl who I called my best friend with disgust. I was speechless, my heart burning with pain. This felt like a joke because I've never for once strayed. I've been faithful to my husband. I would never do this to him.
"This isn't true, please! I would never do this to you! I'm your wife, we've been together for three years, yet you're trusting this stranger? Please Alex..." I tried to touch him but he pushed me forcefully and my butt slammed on the cold floor.
"The fact that you're lying is pissing me off. What have you got to lose bitch, why don't you just confess? I respected and trusted you and this is how you repay me? Making yourself cheap??" He growled with disdain.
"Alexander! I'm pregnant with your child!!" I gasped in desperation. "isn't that what you wanted?"
It's been his wish for years now. It was certainly a shocking revelation especially after I had a disease which nearly destroyed my womb. I never knew I would be this lucky to have a chance. It was incredible.
Alexander and I got married three years ago, and unfortunately I couldn't conceive. He was so thoughtful that he didn't harass me because of it, he made me feel loved. And that's the reason I'm still here – his family abhors me.
My mother-in-law is a shitty woman who vowed to make life miserable for me, but because of her son, she couldn't carry out her sick plans. Alex's sister was just like her. Cruel, psychotic maniac.
"I'm carrying our baby... it's so little, so cute... i.." I stammered, searching frantically for my purse only to remember that I left it at the cab. Shit! The reports were in there.
Alexander sauntered to a desk and roughly grabbed a file. He thrusted it at me, aggressively. "Here. We're done!"
My mind went black with shock as I tried to process everything he was saying. I knew what he was giving me even before I collected it. I exhaled deeply, my chest constricting
"Alexander.... what's this?" I asked in a cracked voice.
"Divorce papers! I'm done with a cheating slut like you!"
"What?" I gasped, my eyes widening with dread.
This can't be happening.
THREE YEARS LATER Louisa:I wrapped my hands tightly around the worn leather gloves, my eyes fixed on the punching bag swinging before me. Three years of sweat and tears had transformed this room into my sanctuary.With a deep breath, I unleashed a flurry of punches, each strike a release of pent-up tension. The bag creaked and swayed, absorbing my fury. Damn, this was good. My mind cleared with every blow. It felt so relaxing as usual. I was no longer the broken woman Alex had left behind. I used to cry a lot like a little bitch. Silly me.I was now Lou Blackwood, CEO of Blackwood Enterprises. A real estate mogul with a portfolio worth millions. A shrewd businesswoman feared and respected by my peers. Everyone revered me. But in this room, I was just Louisa. Free to unleash my demons.Free to be myself. Punching relaxes me. I also imagine faces of people that get on my nerves and punch.As I pounded the bag, my thoughts drifted to my twins, Jasper and Jade. Their innocent laughte
Alex:Everything about Lou has changed. I couldn't believe, not in a million years, that this woman standing in front of me could sweep me off my feet, knock the air out of my lungs...again. And this time, as a badass. There was nothing soft about her in those brown eyes. I knew she despised me. She hated me and I'm ready to do whatever it takes to get her back. Get my sweet innocent Lou back into my life. "Is that a bet?" Louisa laughed, still reeling from my words. A small smile crept up my lips. "However you want to see it." I'd heard whispers of her meteoric rise to power, how she'd catapulted to the pinnacle of success with ruthless determination. It was crazy, man.Everyone knew her as "The Badass" – the enigmatic and elusive owner of Blackwood Enterprises, a business empire that had expanded exponentially under her leadership. Something that was astounding.But despite her formidable reputation, she remained a mystery to everyone. She was anonymous. No photographs of her ex
Alexander:I wrapped my arms around Jenna, pulling her close as we floated in the pool. Our lips met in a passionate kiss, the warm water lapping gently against our skin. The moon cast an eerie reflection on the waters as we devoured each other's lips. As we broke apart for air, I smiled at Jenna, my eyes locked on hers. "Thank you for telling me the truth," I said, my voice low and husky. I pecked her blonde hair.Jenna's eyes sparkled with triumph, and she leaned in close, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm always happy to help you, Alexander," she said, her lips brushing against my ear.I felt a surge of desire at her words, and I pulled her close again, our bodies entwining as we kissed. But even as I lost myself in the moment, I couldn't help but think about what Jenna had told me.She was a clever girl, always playing the angles and getting what she wanted. She has been suspecting Louisa and told me immediately. I didn't believe her at first until the trip to Washington. E
Louisa:I slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings.What.. What happened? I was in a hospital room, surrounded by beeping machines and sterile white walls. I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my head and I fell back onto the pillow, squeezing my eyes to minimize the pain A nurse rushed to my side, helping me to sit up slowly. "Easy, dear," she said. "You've been in an accident. You were hit by a car."I tried to remember, but my memories were hazy. I vaguely recalled rushing down the street, and then...nothing What if I had died? I recalled the divorce and I bit my lips, preventing a sob. I saw life flash before my eyes as I was hit by the car.I just couldn't believe my fate. Jenna got everyone wrapped around her fingers, cruelly and heartlessly taking my husband away from. She's single handedly destroyed my marriage of three years. I'm already a divorcee.No, she must pay for what she has done. I can't let her get away with it. My husband must also
Louisa:Yolanda gasped. "What is wrong with you??" She glared hatefully, rushing to help Jenna who was bleeding slightly from a gash in her forehead.I was just choking on my own spit, sniffing and wiping my tears painfully. I didn't know what to do again. "First she cheated on my son and now attempted murder? Are you even sane?" Lena, my mother-in-law said with disapproval.They knew of the video? Alexander showed them? Oh goodness, it's over for me. I rushed down the stairs, weak and defeated."She's not even remorseful" Yolanda sighed with disdain, petting Jenna who was still crying uncontrollably. Even Lena went to help her up. I felt a pang of jealousy in my heart. I couldn't believe it. They're so nice to Jenna, treating her like she's their daughter. A treatment that eluded me. "I'm calling the cops. I'll make sure she's jailed for life." Mrs Lena said, walking towards me and when she reached, she slapped me hard across the face. Twice."Let's make the world aware of this vi
Louisa: In that second, the entire world blurred. Everything came crumbling down, the walls falling and falling till it crushed me, trapping me underneath.This is a joke. An expensive joke. This can't be happening, not when I'm finally pregnant. Jenna just sat quietly, watching us both with a satisfied smirk on her pretty face. "Alex, I'm pregnant. I can't become a single mother!" I screamed at him, crying. My heart was heavy with pain"No you're not, you're infertile." He said coldly. "You can NEVER give birth." He laughed mockingly.The words stung deeply. It was as if a knife was shoved into my heart, slicing it and ripping it apart. "Baby, please I never cheated on you! This is a misunderstanding, please!" I sniffled, wiping my eyes painfully. "Please!"I can't let Jenna destroy everything for me. She can't get away with her wickedness. I grasped his arm, desperation creeping into my voice. "Please, baby, listen to me. I'm telling you the truth. I never cheated on you. It's
