Revenge From Ashes, Ruin for the Billionaire 026 Done Being Protected
(Ava)The world comes back in pieces.A soft light, scent of clean sheets, the weight of a blanket across me.My head throbs, my mouth is dry, and every time I try to move, my body reminds me I’ve been through hell these past few days.I went through Hell when I woke to Lila dying and Zach eating birthday cake. And Sienna telling how grateful I should be.I’m back and everything is the same but so very different. It’s like I have possession of a weapon I have no clue how to use.Like I might have a military grade automatic rifle but it’s in pieces and I have to learn how to build it.To be honest it’s hard to know what is even real or hallucination or dream.Then I hear his voice again. Low. Familiar.“Hey, Sunshine. Take it slow.”I freeze. My eyes snap open. That wasn’t a dream?He’s sitting in the chair beside the bed, elbows on his knees, looking older but alive. Very alive. He looks great actually. A more mature version of his best self.Like the father I knew in all our good ti

(Ava)We do the second spread faster, as if the cards already want the truth out.Paige flips and her brow dips one more time. “He’s not gone, Ava. He’s… lost. Pride and fear. He chose protection of image over action. But there are things he also doesn’t know.”“True. But just proving what Sienna is doing isn’t enough. He never put me first. He used me. He made it impossible for me to leave him. I see that now. I made wrong choices but I didn’t know any better. Now I do.”She pulls another card. “He isn’t going to back down. His pride and manhood are at stake. His love for you was warped. Unhealthy.”She continues… “He loved you but not as his equal. As someone he could treat badly and control when his life felt hopeless and out of control.”That’s it exactly. I’ll make sure he will see his world crumble while I build mine.We sit with the cards a moment longer.“So, get your facts, use your memories. Even do a past life regression to look for clues in your subconscious.”That’s when

(Ava)I wake up and the world is ordinary.My body protests when I move, but it doesn’t throw me into spasms. The shaking has gone.I see a fresh set of clothes and a towel on the dresser. I head into the ensuite and enjoy the hot water coursing over my body.It takes some time, but I wash my hair and feel half human as I dry myself off. When I dress and go back out to the bedroom, I see the door is open.My heart surges. I did it. I made it.Paige is in the kitchen.She’s got Lila in a high-chair, and the smell of coffee threads through the air.Lila sees me and her whole face lights.“Mama! Mama!” She squeals and gives her grabby hands.I go to her and hug her. I kiss her cheeks and she giggles. “Lila! Hi baby girl. Mama love you.”“Wub you, Mama.”The elation course through me. This makes the last few days of crap so worth it. This is our second chance and I will not be denied my retribution.But I don’t just want to prove Sienna to be evil. I want to take her world apart bit by bi

(Ava)I don’t know what day it is or how much time has passed.My body is a battlefield. Everything hurts. I’m shaking, sweating through the sheets.Caleb said breathe, it’ll pass.It doesn’t pass.I think I’ve thrown up everything I’ve ever eaten. I slept but I’m not sure for how long. The shadows crawl along the walls.Then I hear a voice like an angel. Maybe she is an angel.“Ava.” Soft, familiar, full of that stubborn kind of love that never quits.I twist toward the sound. Maybe it’s another hallucination. I’ve heard flames roar where there is no fire, heard Lila cry when she wasn’t even in the room.But I turn and look anyway. Even in hallucination form, Paige being with me will be a lifeline.“Ava, hey. I’m here.”And there she is… Paige. Real.I start to cry and shake my head.“Oh my God.” She’s crying when she reaches me. “Look at you. You’re a mess.”I laugh but it’s a scratchy sound. “You’re real?”She drops to her knees beside the bed. “Real enough to slap sense into you i
Revenge From Ashes, Ruin for the Billionaire 022 I Will Have What I Need
(Sienna)The feeds are saturated.Zach’s words run like a sharp knife through everything I told my parents the other day. My wife and daughter are on a private family vacation. We’re very happy.There will not be a divorce.I watch it once, then again.The way he says “my wife” is deliberate. The way the cameras catch his smile is deliberate.I told my parents not to worry. I told them I had this. Zach Lorne is like trying to hold onto water. Why did he have to marry her? It ruined everything. I have Kai. I have his first born son.I should be his wife. I was born to be his wife. That’s what my other always told me. My career and many architecture design awards. My academic excellence meant nothing to my father.Being a Lorne is where it’s at and he will accept nothing less. Even now.My worth in their eyes is nothing unless I can secure this marriage and their worth will plummet also. My brothers have lost much of the family fortune and it’s respect in our circles.And appearances,

(Zach)The divorce file is sitting on my office desk.Signed by both of us.My lawyer stands across from me. “If I lodge these today, the decree can be processed by the end of the month.”I look down at the file again and open the folder. Both our signatures.Her name next to mine. It used to mean something to me.It still does.“Shred them,” I say.He frowns. “Sir?”“They’re not being filed. Shred them.”“Mr. Lorne—”“Not up for discussion. If anyone asks, I’m still a happily married man.”He opens his mouth, but one look from me ends it. He gathers the papers fast and leaves without another word.I lean back in my chair.I used to think I was sure of everything. The company. The family. Ava always being here when I needed her.Then one stupid, mistaken blood report, tore it apart.I let it happen.All that rage. All that certainty. Every word I threw at her. Every time I called her a liar, told her she disgusted me, that she’d tricked me.And now she’s gone.But she was ready, she w
