Revenge on My Billionaire Ex

I left the hotel in a hurry. Once I arrived at home, the headlines of the newspaper greeted me. PHOENIX CORPORATION's HEIR'S WIFE SPOTTED WITH MYSTERY LOVER"No!"I grasped the newspaper, my hands shaking uncontrollably.There, taking up nearly the entire front page, was a photo of me leaning intimately with a man. The image would be burned into the minds of everyone who saw it.I had never thought — not even in my worst nightmare — I would see myself in such a negative light, let alone on the front page of a newspaper.As I peered out of the window, I could see a swarm of paparazzi eagerly waiting outside the door, like a pack of hungry wolves ready to pounce at me. The mere thought of facing them sent shivers down my spine, as I knew they were just waiting to snap a picture and tear me apart in the headlines.I'm not sure if Crimson had read the newspaper but if the whole Flintstone City had read it, it is likely that he has and I couldn't couldn't imagine how he must be feeling

I've always dreamed of having children, always wondering what it would be like to have a child of my own, to feel their tiny fingers curl around mine as they drift off to sleep.But my husband didn't want a child. The first time I broached the subject, he grew quiet and distant. I couldn't blame him for it. His father had abandoned him before he was even born, leaving him to grow up with a single mother. Perhaps he feared repeating the same pattern, becoming a terrible father—much worse than his own.However, Crimson got Celestine pregnant. He must have been so in love with her to have broken his promise of not wanting a baby."Move on, Elizabeth. Leave yourself a bit of self-respect and stop chasing a man. Had he truly loved you, he wouldn't have fallen for me!"My friend's words stung, but it's still not an excuse for her to snatch another woman's husband. “Crimson is still my husband,” I spat firmly. She wasn't in a position to be proud in front of me since she's not even the legal

At first, I resisted and met his gaze with a defiant glare. There were more important things to attend to than deal with him. However, I reminded myself that he was still my boss and had authority over me.I let out a deep sigh and took the seat across from him while wondering what he wanted to talk about.“Sign the divorce papers, Elizabeth.” He placed the papers on the table.“Sure,” I replied, which surprised him. I wasn't acting on impulse; I had thought long and hard about this for a few days and had come to the conclusion that divorce was the only solution for us.I took the pen and signed where needed.He stared at me in silence for what felt like an eternity.Finally, he took a deep breath and mustered the courage to speak. "Who's Grey Cameron?" he asked, his voice strained. "Is he your lover?"I rose from my chair after the signing was done."Respectfully, Sir, you don't have the right to know. It's my personal business." After saying that, I turned to leave, but he rose fr

Crimson had seen the familiar figure leaving in a hurry behind the door. He was sure it was Elizabeth. Even with his eyes closed, he felt her presence. He unconsciously released his hold on Celestine, surprised that he had done so. The facade of a loving man faded momentarily, replaced by yearning and pain. He wanted to run after Elizabeth, to explain everything, but he felt nailed to the spot. What for? How could he explain his situation to someone who would never understand, someone who had only stayed with him all these years because he will inherit a huge inheritance after his grandfather's death? Did she even truly love him? After their separation, she had immediately jumped into someone else's bed. Suddenly, his expression hardened, and a coldness that could freeze even the depths displayed across his features. "Crimson?" Celestine's soft voice pierced through his thoughts. Her delicate hand reached for his arm, the touch bringing him back to the present. "Is everything a

Taylor leaned forward; there was sympathy in his eyes as he looked at him. "None of it is your fault. You can't carry all the burden on your own, son."Crimson took the financial reports in his hand and felt the weight of all his responsibilities pressing down on his palms. "Is there any way for me to save the family business?""Proceed with the marriage to Celestine Ford, and all your worries will disappear. Her father, the Mayor, will give you the leverage you need."He heaved a sigh. The engagement with Celestine had helped a lot, and he managed to convince the investors not to pull out of the contract. But he couldn't keep relying on her or anyone. If there was another option, he would rather take it without binding himself to anyone."Is there any other option?" he asked.Taylor's expression sobered. He delayed his response by abandoning his chair to grab the bottle of vintage wine. He poured a couple of inches of the velvet liquid into a crystal glass before lowering himself bac
