Jane POV.

It was my wedding anniversary. A three-year journey with Damien Blair.  Getting married to Damien was the best thing that ever happened to me. I have always had this fairy tail since when I was young, to have a grand wedding and a perfect home. With Damien everything became easy

I clocked off work and made a quick stop at the store to pick up the cake I had ordered a few days before now.     After a few hours of driving, I finally approached the house, one of the biggest mansions, centered at the top of a hill in New Yor

"Babe!" I gently pushed the door open, walking into the empty living room.  I felt a bit disappointed, realizing my husband hadn't returned from work.  I dropped the cake on the dining table before I found my way up the stairs

"Ahn! Oh, mine!" My steps halted.  "Oh! Just like that!" It was not just an ordinary sound, more like the one where two people are making out.  I didn't want to believe what I heard, maybe my ear was beginning to hear other things.  Grudgingly I moved my feet forward, heavy and weak

"Yeah! Keep going! I love you!"  The sound became very close, it was my husband's voice.  "Ha-  I gaped with my mouth open, my whole body shivering as I quickly grabbed the stairs wheel.  Never in a million years would I think my husband was cheating on me.  He has always been an example of a perfect man,  loving and showering me with flowers and gifts. Maybe he did all of that so I wouldn't suspect him

I raised my hand and wanted to push the door, but I resisted. Confrontation was not something I felt at that moment; I did not want to see the cheating bastard.  I turned and then rushed out of the house with tears in my eyes. Without hesitating, I got in the car, driving on the street in a high speedometer leading to the highway.  My phone kept buzzing halfway into the drive. I glanced at it, and lo, it was my husband, Damien

"What does he want!" I sneered, increasing the speed of the car.  He kept buzzing my phone, and after the third time I picked it up, it was a FaceTime cal

"Hey, Jenny,"  his pretty face revealed on the other side of the phone. "Guess what?" He smiled

My eyes popped out; for a second, it felt like I was hallucinating. My husband was in his suit, sitting in his office

"Is everything all right? Why are you looking this way?" He further asked. I couldn't say a word, I was too stunned to speak. In a second, my head was processing so many questions that my mouth couldn't say. "What is happening? Why is he suddenly at the office? I heard that sound." 

I couldn't wrap my head around all that was happening. I  heard him; I mean, we are just two people who live in the house, so it is him. "How he is at the office now? Or is he aware that I came to the house? Is he putting up a show just so I could doubt what I heard?" Honestly, I was getting close to being insane at this poin

" Well, Your man got the deal! We won!" His voice brought me back into reality.

"What do you think you are doing?" I finally asked, my eyes fixed on my phone screen, forgetting the fact that was on the highway driving

"What do you mean?" He inquired, curiosity on his fac

 "What do I mean?" I chuckled dryly. "Playing with my intelligence, Hun? You fucking cheater!

"Pim!" A vehicle horn accelerated towards me. I quickly moved the steering wheel, driving to the other lane as I continued in the same speedometer

"Jess!, Jane!  Where are you?" He jotted up the chair "What the fuck was that?

"Get off my phone! You fucking cheating bastard!" I hissed and ended the call.  Raising my eyes on the road, my heart almost pulled out, seeing a vehicle accelerating towards losing its balanc

"Oh shit!" I stepped my leg so hard on the break, trying to pull over, but it wouldn't respond. I held the car steering with every bit of grip in me moving around a circle. At this point, nothing was working anymore. The break failed me, nothing was working, even I couldn't save myself and gradually the two vehicles were close

Just in the Twink of an eye, the other car collided with mine with full force, making it flip over multiple times before coming to rest on its roof. Smoke filled the whole atmosphere, looking up at the sky with tears dropping at the corner of my eyes, my whole life flashed through my eyes again

The smile on my face while walking on the aisle in my white wedding dress, the smile in Damien's eyes while we shared the wedding vows.  Just like it wrinkled through my eyes, gradually it disappeared into thin air. Everything crumbled, black dots filled my eye

*********************

"Beep! Beep!" The sound wouldn't stop in my ear; as annoying as it was, I couldn't tell what sound it was exactl

"Beep beep." I tried to glance in that direction, but I couldn't. My eyes felt heavy, more like a load was placed on it. After so many struggles, I finally flipped it ope

I found myself in a strange room with familiar settings. From the white painted ceiling to the big television ongoing with some sort of new, to the machine equipment and then landing on a strange fac

"Miss, can you see me?" The feminine voice asked as she jotted up.  Her voice held with excitement and worry; she didn't in any way seem familiar, but I could tell she was worried sick about me, so I gently nodded, answering her question

"Thank Goodness! Doctor!" She rushed out.

"Hello Mrs Jane, how are you feeling?" The doctor asked,  unwrapping the telescope around his neck.

"Good," I managed to respond, wondering how he knew my name.

I struggled to speak, my throat dry and scratchy. “Where… where am I? How long have I been here

"  you are indeed a fighter. You have been with us for Eight weeks- “You were in a fatal accident. We didn’t think you’d make it

Eight weeks!The car accident felt like yesterday and it has been two months

  "And I'm happy to inform you that your baby is saf

"Baby?!- my eyes widened in shock, my voice trembling. I had no idea I was pregnant. As I placed my hand on my forehead, struggling to wrap my head around what the doctor said, my eyes caught the television news. My eyes locked on the screen as familiar names and faces appeare

“Did anyone… Did my family come? My parents? My siblings?” I managed to as

The doctor hesitated, “No one came forward,” he admitted softly. “But there’s been a man, a stranger, who’s been here almost every day since you were brought in. He’s the one who brought you to the hospital. He never left your side

My lips parted in confusion and for a moment I appreciated the strange ma

It was eight weeks already now and my own family hadn’t come. Not a single soul had thought to look for me. Tears welled in my eyes, but before I could let them fall, the sound of the television caught my attention agai

My heart sank as I murmured under my breath. My husband and my stepsister are getting married.

    Jane's POVA relative sense of calm settled on my conference room as I stood at the head of the table. Nate was next to me. He didn’t say much, but having him there made me feel stronger.“Good morning, everyone,” I said in a calm and steady voice. “We’re here today to talk about something very serious, and it’s about the Lawson Charity.”I saw some people shift in their seats. A few exchanged worried looks. They could tell something big was coming, but they didn’t know how big.“We’re starting an audit,” I said. “We’re going to check all the money and records of the Lawson Charity.”No one said anything as they still wanted more elaboration.“Nate, would you explain the details?” I asked.Nate stepped forward and looked around the room. “We’ll check every donation, every expense, and every account from the very beginning. Nothing will be hidden. We’ll check everything to be sure.”“Be sure of what?” Someone muttered.But then the door opened.Rachel Lawson walked in like she owned t

    Jane's POV“Hello?” I said cautiously.“Jane, it's Damien. I... I wanted to apologize for last night. I lost control. I’m so sorry.” His voice sounded strained and contrite.“Damien, you made a scene. I don’t need you fighting my battles.”“I know, and I shouldn't have. It’s just…I’m worried about you, Jane. I can feel the danger closing in. I can help you bring down Zack. I have connections and resources...”“Why now, Damien?” I asked my voice laced with suspicion. “After all this time, why are you suddenly so eager to help?”There was a pause on the other end of the line. “Because…because I owe you, Jane. I owe you everything. I want to make things right.”“And what about my mother, Damien?” I asked in a barely a whisper. “What about the accident?”The silence stretched between us thick with unspoken guilt and pain.“Jane, I...” he stammered,, his voice cracking. “I was young, careless,, and I did something foolish. I was a fool.”My heart pounded in my chest. “You were fooled, Da

    Jane's POVThe marble floor in the Harbor & Finch lobby felt cold under my feet. Each step I took echoed loudly, making me more nervous. This is it, I thought. Either everything changes now, or it’s just another dead end.I looked at my watch again—Camila Ortiz was five minutes late. It felt like forever. I needed answers.Finally, the revolving doors turned,, and Camila walked in. She looked tense—her shoulders were hunched, her face pale,, and her eyes kept moving like she was afraid someone was following her.“Camila,” I said quietly, leading her to the elevators. “Thanks for coming.”She didn’t answer, just gave a quick nod and stared at the floor numbers as we went up. The silence in the elevator was heavy. I could feel the pressure of what she was about to tell me.When we reached the right floor, I guided her through the halls to a small meeting room. It was cold and modern—glass and steel. I closed the door behind us.“Okay,” I said, trying to stay calm. “What did you find?”C

    Jane's POVMy stepmother Rachel smiled in a way that looked warm but felt cold like the glass in my hand. This party which was supposed to be about her helping others felt more like a carefully planned fight. I was here to act like the kind daughter who had made peace. But deep down I wasn’t here for peace. I needed answers. I needed the truth.My stepsister Mae saw me from across the room. Her smile looked fake and her eyes gave away her true feelings.

Are you okay?”“Mae.” I answered while matching her calm voice. “I'm fine. How about you?”“Oh doing great.” she said while smiling a little more. “Zack’s not happy of course after what happened. But what can we do? You were always the favorite weren’t you?” Her last words were sharp like hidden poison.I looked straight at her. “It wasn’t about being the favorite Mae. It was about what’s fair.”

    Jane's POVI sat in my living room with Nate by my side. It was evening, and our secure phone lines rang softly in the background. We had labored for days writing every word of the public statement. Now it was the time to speak out and win over those who still had their doubts against me.Nate looked at me and said, "Jane, I know it seems like the whole world is against you, but this is our chance to turn the tide. Our evidence is strong. We need to get the public educated on the real story."I nodded slowly. "I know, Nate. I do have a lot of anger within me, but I want this statement to be straightforward, true, and simple. No ranting and raving—just facts and my vow of justice."We started up our secure laptop and opened a new document. I took a deep breath. "Let's write it together," I said.Nate grinned. "Alright, Jane. I'll type it out, then you can have a listen to see if you sound like this."A little while later, Nate read off the screen:"Good evening. I am Jane Harrison. I

  • Billionaire's Revenge: The Ex wife's rise   Chapter Thirty five

    Jane's POVI woke up early that morning with a strange knot in my belly as if something big was about to happen. I reached for my phone and switched it on. In seconds, breaking news notifications were flashing on the screen. There was a scandalous expose on Lawson Enterprises, my family's shady business activities, on all the news channels. My heart was pounding. I had worked so many months gathering evidence, and now, it looked like the truth was being told to the public.I phoned Nate immediately."Hi, Nate. Did you see the news?" I asked.Nate replied, "Yes, Jane. I've been watching all night. The scandal is out now. They are talking about illegal offshore accounts, backdoor deals, and even furtive meetings."I took a deep breath. "This is it. The scandal is out. Our evidence has been made public. But I'm scared—what if they quote me out of context? What if they drive me insane?" Nate answered firmly, "You needn't fear. We built a good case, and the facts will stand on their own.

  • Billionaire's Revenge: The Ex wife's rise   Chapter Thirty four

    Jane's POVI walked into the meeting room with a heavy heart and steel determination. The past few weeks have been ferocious. We were being attacked in the public sphere on all sides—news stories challenging my character, tweets twisting my story, and even hate letters intended to sully our reputation. But my support group was here, all around a giant table in a small, secure meeting room, and I was sure that we were one."Jane, we got the news," said Michael firmly and resolutely. "They are informing us that you are unstable. They are saying that you are leading the investigation due to a mere emotional whim."I took a deep breath and looked around the table at the faces. Worry and determination were in Lisa's, Robert's, Richard's, and Mark's expressions. I responded, "I hear what they're saying. I know they're trying to discredit me. But we have the truth on our side."Lisa leaned forward. "Jane, don't let them discourage you. We have good evidence. We know what happened. Our papers

    Jane's POV I shivered in the cold conference room of the courthouse, seeing my heart thud in my chest. Beige and empty walls surrounded us, lit by flickering overhead fluorescent light. I was seated at a long table with my lawyer Carla, Nate, and a few of our lawyers. Tension was there. We were attending a very serious hearing…to file for a temporary court order freezing some of the disputed assets surrounding my mother's estate. Carla coughed. "Jane, the judge will be right here," she said, scanning her notes. I nodded. "I'm ready. I just want to get this behind me. I need to hold on to my mother's memory." Nate shifted forward. "We have sufficient evidence, Jane. Our documents show that the transfers were illegal. We require the court to instruct any additional movement to stop until we have settled this." In a few minutes, the door swung open and a bailiff came in saying, "Court is now in session. Stand up." I stood with the others, enduring the chill of the moment. I follo
