“Dorian Cole,” I murmured. “Does that name strike a memory?”

Joanna went pale after hearing the name, but her countenance shifted back to something neutral. She shook her head to deny it, her lips parting to respond.

“I don’t know who that is.”

“Really?” I asked. “Don’t lie, Joanna.”

“If this is one of your games tonight, Miranda. Stop it.”

I shrugged my shoulders, then turned around to signal at the man standing behind the curtains. A tall figure walked out, wearing a black tuxedo and a

  • His Plus-Size Wife Returned as a Billionaire Heiress   Chapter 8

    MIRANDA“Dorian Cole,” I murmured. “Does that name strike a memory?”Joanna went pale after hearing the name, but her countenance shifted back to something neutral. She shook her head to deny it, her lips parting to respond.“I don’t know who that is.”“Really?” I asked. “Don’t lie, Joanna.”“If this is one of your games tonight, Miranda. Stop it.”I shrugged my shoulders, then turned around to signal at the man standing behind the curtains. A tall figure walked out, wearing a black tuxedo and a smirk.“Joanna Lane,” he called. “Or should I say, Regina Nial?”Adrian raised his head and confusion was etched all over his face. He darted his attention between Joanna, Dorian and me.“What’s happening?” He asked.Joanna stuttered. “I… I have no idea what’s happening, honey.”“I’ll speak if she doesn’t,” I said. “Joanna here isn't who she claims to be.”“What are you talking about?” Adrian asked.“I’ll let Dorian explain better,” I pointed at him. “The floor is all yours now, Dorian.”Four y

    MIRANDA“What?”“She’s Miranda Keyes?”“That’s impossible.”Everyone began whispering in surprise and disbelief. Nobody believed that I was the same plus size woman who’d been humiliated and scrutinized by the public.Of course, they wouldn’t.It wasn’t just my appearance that had changed. Everything else was completely different now.I was now Miranda Wright. A woman who ran chains of companies, and had just bought the failing company of her ex-husband who’d humiliated her more than anyone else.Adrian’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he stared at me. Joanna, on the other hand, froze, still holding the towel as the cake’s icing clung to her face.“M-Miranda?” Adrian stepped forward, staring at me with narrowed eyes. “Is that really you?”“Are you crazy?” Joanna reprimanded him. “You know that’s impossible. Miranda Keyes was a fat pig. This… this can’t be her.”I grinned, moving my gaze through the crowd. “It looks too good to be true, doesn’t it, Joanna?” Then I turned to

    MIRANDA“Everything is ready, Ma’am.”I stood in front of the mirror, staring at myself in the outfit I’d picked out the previous day.It was a stunning red gown. I’d chosen the color because red, they say, is the perfect color for revenge.“What about the media coverage?” I asked Gia. “And the other person who’s streaming the event live?”Gia stood behind me, responding to every question I’d asked. I wanted that night to go exactly the way I’d planned. Nothing could ruin it.“They’re all in their positions, Ms. Wright.”“Good,” I stepped away from the mirror and turned to face her with a smile. “That’s what I want to hear.”Footsteps walked into the room seconds later, and it was my other assistant, Chris. He bowed slightly in respect when he saw me before announcing in a husky voice.“Ms. Wright, the Wellingtons have arrived.”My mood changed the moment I heard that. My smile deepened into a satisfying one, and I whispered in response.“I’ll be downstairs in five minutes.”I needed a

    MIRANDA“Are the papers ready?”I asked Attorney Xander over the phone. I’d made him my attorney after inheriting my father’s empire.“Yes, Ma’am.”“Good,” I said. “Please have them ready by tomorrow night.”A soft knock echoed through the office and I hung up the call. Gia walked in a few seconds later, and I turned to face her.“Ms. Wright,” she called. “You sent for me.”I nodded. Yes. I need you to send an invitation to the Wellingtons. Tell them I’d love to see them at the inauguration gala.”“Okay, Ma’am.”Gia turned around to leave, but I halted her with my words. “And Gia? I want the biggest cake for the party. Don’t forget that.”I returned to staring out of the window after Gia left. Taking a slow sip from my glass of wine, I could already taste the sweet victory of my revenge.A few hours ago, I’d paid a visit to Adrian’s company and was slightly impressed at how well-managed he made it look.A quick glance and nobody could tell that it was actually struggling. But I knew be

    MIRANDAOf course, they thought I’d died three years ago after I’d mysteriously disappeared from the country.But they had no idea who was sitting right in front of them.“So…” I began after a few seconds, attempting to change the conversation. “You wanted to meet me?”Joanna nodded impatiently. From her actions, I could tell that she was more excited than Adrian to meet me.“Yes, Ms. Wright.”“Well, I’m here now.”Joanna exchanged glances with Adrian, then leaned forward carefully, her attention shifting back to me.“We’ve seen and heard a lot about your business achievements, and we’d like to be a part of that amazing success story. So, we’re offering you an opportunity.”My eyebrows furrowed. “Opportunity?”“Yes,” Adrian added. “You’re one of the few business owners who’ve really inspired us, and as a business mogul myself, I think there’s one thing both our companies have in common.”“And what could that be, Mr. Wellington?”“Resources.”I chuckled softly at his response. It was ea

    MIRANDAThree years later…“Ms. Wright, do you have any business tips for people who’d like to learn from you?”The paparazzi asked from different corners, flashing cameras as I stood on the stage, holding my three new awards.Best entrepreneur of the year.Youngest and most successful business woman of the year.Number one most influential woman of the year.I won it all. And it was always the same awards for the third year in a row. And several other business people wanted to know what I did and how I did it.“I’ll advise them to work hard,” I said with a smile. “As long as you’ve dreamt about it, work on it, and you can achieve it.”The crowd gave a loud applause and a few people whistled. The smile on my face grew wider, and I began to walk carefully down the stage.Interviewers and paparazzi followed me everywhere, eager to get more photographs, and ask more questions.But I was done for the day.“Ms. Wright, should we be expecting another company launch?”Through the crowd, I hea
