"I was the reason behind his success, but now, I will be the reason for his downfall." Ashley Carter was the perfect and loyal wife every man in the business world envied. The woman that only Alex Montgomery could have. Ashley thought she had it all until the night of their anniversary. An anonymous call ended a five-year-old solid union and the happy life of Ashley. She was not just betrayed by her husband, but also lost all her properties and reputation in society because of him. With shame and the constant smear by the media, Ashley left, but promised to return to fulfill those words. And exactly three years later, she was back as a famous actress to take everyone who hurt her down. But she wasn't alone. She had the three most dangerous men fighting for her heart. Now, her ex-husband is falling at her feet, begging for another chance and set to compete with these three men for her cold heart. But love wasn't Ashley's priority anymore. Revenge and the unquenchable thirst for fame were. And even if she decides to give it a second chance, who would she choose? No one knows, but it is quite certain that she is out to destroy not just him, but everyone.

[1] The call
ASHLEYA call! A damn anonymous call got me running down the sidewalk with a bruised knee and messed-up hair.I was supposed to be home, sipping wine while waiting for his return, but here I was, running into a private lodge at the end of an empty driveway.“33," I kept whispering to myself as I limped across the corridor, swinging my head over the doors at both sides.I finally found the door and stopped before it, staring at the number boldly written at the top of the door.My heart was racing so fast that it felt like it would burst. My mind was not in order, and the sinking feeling of the words of whoever called me coming to pass engulfed me. It felt like I was dying with each second that passed as I stood there.I thought of turning around and walking back home like nothing had happened, but my body didn't yield to that thought.The more I thought of heading back home to wait for my husband to come home for our anniversary, the more the curiosity nudged me forward to grab the kno

[2] Lies
ASHLEYI raised my head and covered my hurting eyes with my palm while taking a glimpse at the sharp lights with squinted eyes. The lights went off, and the door to the car pulled open before a pair of sparkling heels came out.I jerked up and wiped the tears on my face even though the rain had managed to wash them away.I wanted to stand, but my body was too weak and broken to let me do that.“Ashley!" The voice of my best friend pierced through the plastering sound of the rain as she rushed towards me.“What is wrong with you!" Liliana gasped and grabbed my pale hand with widened eyes full of worry.I forced a weak smile on my face while the tears fell and mixed with the rain splattered over my face.“Come on, get up! I'll take you home," Liliana snapped and helped me up to my feet, then led me into the car.Once the door was slammed shut, Liliana passed a towel to me and stared at me curiously as I tried to dry my hair and face with the towel.“Tonight is your anniversary, you shou

[3] Plot for revenge
ASHLEYWhen I woke up the next day, I found myself in bed with a cup of coffee on the table close to the bed.I rubbed my throat, which had gone sore from crying all through the night, and slowly got out of bed. My legs were still wobbly, and I could barely walk.As I limped towards the cup of coffee with every strength left in me, the door behind me suddenly opened, and I felt my heart drop into the pit of my belly.My fist clenched in fury when a familiar cologne swept past my nose.“You're awake!" Alex's voice pierced through the room, and my throat knotted.I took in a deep breath and pulled myself together before turning to face him with a stern look on my face.“I'll put up with you only after the official contract signing. I'll file for a divorce once this is over!" I snapped.Alex's lips twitched into a smile that made my skin crawl in disgust.He slipped his hand into his hand pocket, then began to trudge closer with a smile on his face.“It's a good thing you're being consid

[4] Surprise!
ASHLEYThe large hall was filled with the elites, business allies, his friends, and some other people whom I couldn't recognize. Honestly, I barely recognized half of the people in the room.“Congratulations to Mr Alex Montgomery for his latest accomplishment, he has risen to the second spot on the ranks of the best construction companies in the country after his latest major contracts…” A deafening applause filled the room before the man could complete his words.I used to swell in pride and happiness over this kind of announcement, but I felt indifferent as I stood there beside him."Smile a little, honey,” his voice drifted into my ear, and my heart constricted in rage.I forced my pursed lips to stretch into a smile, then clapped along with the guests.“Oh, we all know that this all wouldn't have been possible without the help of my gorgeous wife, Ashley Montgomery." Alex’s voice broke through the ovation, and silence fell in the room.My hands clenched around each other, and I to

[5] Betrayal in return
ASHLEYI slapped her hand off and staggered back in horror, my throat knotting.“What are you saying?" I whispered in a grave tone, still trying to get out of the hold of confusion.Lilian's smile never left her face as she pulled closer.“You still don't get it, do you?” She muttered.My head swerved to Alex's direction, and the smile on his face caused anger to wash through me. He and Lilian shared the same kind of smile. That evil, cunning smile that could throw you off your feet.It slowly made sense to me as I stood there in the middle of accusers and haters. Lilian was never on my side.I chuckled at the realization and raised my dropped head to look at her with eyes full of tears.“So, it's been you all this time?" I muttered and staggered to her, ready to drag her down with me.The moment I parted my lips to speak, a slap hit my face.My eyes rolled up as gasps filled the air.“How dare you! I trusted you so much, Ash, yet I never knew you'd leave your husband to come after my

[6] A promise
ASHLEY‘You’ve lost, Ashley,’ Lilian's taunting words haunted me as I sat in the bathtub, drowning in tears and the stinging cold water that filled the bathtub.After ‘shamelessly demanding for divorce’ like the media tagged it, I rushed out of the hall and locked myself up in my room all day.I had neither eaten, washed up, nor stripped out of the dress I was wearing last night.I barely slept either, and the only thing that I had done was cry, even though that was not going to stop the smear I was receiving from the internet. I had been called all kinds of names in comment sections and news outlets. And Alex? He has never shown up since last night. I guessed he was celebrating with his mistress on their successful accomplishment.I was burning up and dying in sorrow. If anyone would betray me, I never thought it could be Lilian. We had been friends for so long, yet she chose to hate me this way.I lost my career, my family, my dignity for the sake of Alex and Lilian, but this was w

[7] The time
ASHLEYThe sharp ringtone of the telephone forced me to look up from the script in my hand, and my lips stretched into a smile. I stood up and shuffled towards it, the script dangling in my hand.I hesitated and watched it ring until it stopped, then it began to ring again.I chuckled at how much I was leaving the caller in a state of cold sweat, then picked up the telephone after letting it ring four times with no answer.“Hello, Ashley Carter speaking," I spoke when I pressed the red colored telephone to my ear.“I am calling from Skyline agency,” the man said, and I smirked.“We are offering–" "I'm not interested,” I cut him off and slammed down the receiver.I smiled and twirled around the living room in satisfaction.It's been three years since I left my past behind to start a new life. Three years have gone by since I made that promise to Alex and Lilian. Three years of preparation for a grand return.After I returned to my father, which felt shocking since he never liked me, he

[8] Home
ASHLEYThe moment my feet touched the soil of Los Angeles, I breathed in, taken in the fresh air that swirled around me.My lips stretched into a smile of satisfaction as I gripped my bag and began to walk away from the airport. I had dark shades on, and my glow-up must have prevented people from recognizing me.I sank my hand into my coat’s pocket as I trudged towards the area where cabs waited to pick up passengers.My phone rang, and I paused on my walk, then pulled it out, my smile returning.“Are the interiors of the apartment ready?" I asked and continued walking, dragging my suitcase behind."Yes, ma'am,” the man in charge of my new apartment's designs replied from the other side."I will be there…" I paused and glanced at my wristwatch.“In a few minutes," I muttered and ended the call. Just when I was about to put the phone away, a blaring horn hit me.My head jerked up in alarm, and my eyes widened as a car drove recklessly towards me.I cursed loudly and managed to jump out

[9] Served cold
ASHLEY“We’re here,” the driver said as he pulled the car over in the garage. I sighed loudly and threw the door open, then stepped out of the vehicle.I followed the driver to the mansion where my father and his family resided, then walked in when he opened the door.I froze when my eyes followed the chatter in the room to a table. My stepmother, her daughter, my aunt, and a woman I couldn't recognize were seated around the table chatting loudly and drinking tea.Disgust washed over me, and my fist clenched as I trudged closer in slow steps.The laughter ceased the moment my presence became known in the room.The silence that took over was so deafening that one could think everyone in the room had vanished into thin air.“I will leave now, Miss," my father's secretary whispered, being cautious not to break the silence as he tiptoed out of the living room.I sank my hands into my coat pocket and tilted my head to the side, a smirk laced against my face.My stepmother, Margaret, was th

[10] Princess treatment
ASHLEYI watched my father smile lightly at me as he called my name.“What took you so long, hmm? I've been waiting for your arrival," he said, and turned away from the railings, then began to descend the stairs.I smirked when I heard my stepmother and sister gasp in disbelief at my father's outburst.I turned and stared at them with the ‘I told you’ smirk on my face.Margaret narrowed her eyes, and Jessica hissed before turning away.I chuckled in satisfaction and turned to face my father as he descended the stairs.“Welcome back, my dear Ashley," he said.My heart clenched in anger as I stared at him.Was he suddenly acting nice because he knew his days were numbered? No matter how much he smiled, I still knew it was all fake and false. Nothing about them had ever been real. From their words when guests were around to their smiles, it was all fake.“It's so good to have you back," I shuddered when my father's hand dropped on my shoulders and gripped it gently.I maintained the col
