LOGIN“Sign the papers. Now!” Collins barked. Scarlett didn’t flinch. She flipped to the last page, scribbled her name without reading a single word, and flung the divorce papers at him. “I’m done with you, Collins. And all of you,” she said, her voice cold as she pointed at every person in the room. She turned to leave, but paused at the door. Her gaze swept over the people who betrayed her: her husband, her sister, her own family. “I’ll be back,” she said. “I don’t care how long it takes. Months. Years. But I’ll make sure every one of you regrets what you did to me.” Then she walked out, and this time, no one stopped her. •••••••••••• Scarlett’s first mistake was marrying the man she loved, even though he made it clear he hated her. Her second mistake was believing he could ever love her back. When Collins Radford handed her divorce papers and declared he only ever wanted her twin, Scarlett left with nothing but silence and a promise to make them all pay. Then one night, a stranger with Collins’ last name knocked a drugged drink from her hand and carried her into a new life. She vanished. For years, no one heard from her. Now she’s back, with a secret, a child, a billion-dollar empire, and a plan. The Radfords thought they buried her. They didn’t know they were planting a storm. And now, she’s back to burn down everything they built. Dear ex-husband, You chose war.

Each one reminded me that I wasn’t allowed to act “irrationally,” and how unnecessary everything I did at the ceremony was. “You should have at least considered your sister's condition and given us the chance to settle this amicably. Sienna is pregnant, and the Rashfords adore the child she's carrying. We wouldn’t want anything to happen to her. For the family's sake, you should have….”The words blurred and I couldn’t bring myself to read another word.My grip tightened around the phone while I opened my contacts, scrolling desperately as I hoped to find just one name.Just one person who might care enough to ask if I was okay. If Collin's behavior hadn't hurt me too much and tell me just how unfair they'd treated me. But I only kept scrolling. Name after name, they were all empty and useless. Everyone seemed sati
Scarlett’s POVThe cool, soft breeze that swept across the garden did nothing to ease the fire brewing inside me. The guests had started to troop out one after the other, but I took no notice of any of it.The sting of betrayal from not just my in-laws, but my own family, blurred everything else out.My chest ached so much it felt like the air had turned to glass, cutting me with every inhale.Sienna’s voice cut through my thoughts.Her tone carried that same arrogance I had always known, but now it was even more cruel and mocking.“I can’t believe you really thought you could keep him forever, dear sister,” she said, stepping forward with one hand resting on her swollen belly as though it was a trophy.She was now dressed in a soft silk dress that clung just enough to show the curve of her stomach—Collins’ child.I couldn’t move. My fingers trembled uncontrollably, and for a second, I thought I might crumble to the floor. But I didn’t. I forced myself to stand, though every piece of
Scarlett’s POVThe world blurred as I ran.My heels struck the marble floor in sharp, uneven rhythm, like the sound of a heart breaking. My breath came in ragged gasps, my pulse hammering so violently that it drowned out everything else. The corridors stretched endlessly ahead of me, lined with portraits that seemed to watch in silent judgment as I fled past them.My chest burned and my eyes stung. I wanted to scream, to tear down the walls that held every memory of us, but I couldn’t. I just ran.The sticky red wine still clung to my fingers, all dried up now. My reflection flickered in the glass frames I passed: pale skin, wild eyes.The sound of another sharp footstep coming after me echoed through the hallway.“Scarlett!”Collins’s voice sliced through the hallway like a knife.I stopped at the curve of the grand staircase, my breath catching in my throat. My hands trembled at my sides. I turned around slowly.Collins stood there looking disheveled. He was half-dressed, his shir
Scarlett’s POV[Ten months later]The Goldwyn estate looked almost unreal as my car rolled up the long, winding driveway. The evening light bathed the house in gold, glinting off the tall windows and white stone walls. Strings of fairy lights hung across the gardens, swaying gently in the breeze. I could already hear the faint music and laughter floating through the air, my grandmother’s birthday celebration in full swing.I stepped out slowly, smoothing the silver gown that hugged my figure. The fabric shimmered faintly under the light, the off-shoulder sleeves brushing softly against my skin. My hair was pulled into a neat low bun, leaving only a few strands loose to frame my face. I had chosen the dress carefully. It was elegant, simple, and perfectly respectable.One of the security men walked up to me.“Welcome, ma’am.” His gaze swept over me, and then trailed behind me, as if expecting someone to come out of the car after me.I had come alone.Collins had texted that morning.
