  • Rise of Mrs Ashwood   CHAPTER 7

    The absolute silence in the auditorium is thick and suffocating as Soren and Violet glide down the center aisle.Soren’s dark eyes lock onto the stage, his voice cutting through the room like ice. "I suggest you think very carefully before you open your mouths to speak another word," he warns, his powerful aura causing Derek and Violet’s father to instantly shiver in fear.However, Chloe, blinded by her desperation and jealousy, boldly stands her ground. She grabs the microphone, fake tears streaming down her face as she speaks fluently to the reporters. "Don't let them intimidate you!"Chloe cries out like a flawless victim. "Violet is a thief! She tried to drown me last night because she was jealous of my happiness, and now she is using Mr. Ashwood's power to steal our family’s company shares!" Her desperate acting works, causing the fickle crowd of reporters to whisper furiously, turning their judgmental gazes back onto Violet.Violet simply smiles, completely unfazed. Suddenly, th

    Violet lets out a bitter laugh and lets it ring out. He calls three more times in a desperate panic before finally sending an audio recording. With a trembling finger, Violet presses play. Derek’s furious, venomous voice echoes through the quiet room, “Listen to me, you worthless bitch! You think throwing a ring at me changes anything? Tomorrow morning at nine, we are holding a national press conference. You are going to stand at that podium, tell the media you tripped into the river by accident, and sign over your mother's shares to Chloe to make up for the damage you caused tonight. If you don't show up and fix my reputation, I will make sure you are ruined in this city forever. You are nothing without me!” Violet’s blood boils with pure rage. Her hands shake as she prepares to type back a furious, scathing response to put Derek in his place. But before her thumb can touch the keyboard, a large, warm hand gently but firmly clasps over hers, taking the phone away. Violet gasps and

    Violet's heart pounds as she stays trapped under Soren's body. "This is crazy! Marrying a man I barely know? And why does he want this marriage?" Violet ponders within, feeling uncomfortable with this deal. "He's The Soren Ashwood. A billionaire for crying out loud. And I'm just a girl who's not up to his level. We're from two entirely different worlds. No, I can't," She concludes in her head, as she prepares to push him away and refuse his absurd proposal. Then a vivid, agonizing image flashes behind her eyelids. She sees Derek’s cold, indifferent eyes as he swam right past her. She hears her stepsister Chloe’s mocking, victorious laughter echoing over the rushing river. They had left her to drown in the freezing dark without a single shred of remorse. A cold, hard wave of anger washes over her, replacing her fear with a burning desire for retribution. If she returns to her family now, she will be penniless, disowned, and humiliated. But with Soren, she will have an untouchable s

  • Rise of Mrs Ashwood   CHAPTER 4

    Soren guides a shivering Violet into the backseat of his ultra-luxurious limousine, keeping her close."Turn the heat all the way up," Soren commands sharply. Violet lets out a sneeze and raises her hand to clean her nose. But she freezes midway because Soren attends to her quickly. He dries her hair with an extra towel. This makes Violet's face turn red. She can't understand why someone like Soren was helping a complete stranger like her. Soren takes off the soaking blanket on Violet and wraps her in a thicker towel that was arranged and kept in the car by his guards."Are you experiencing any pain? Do you feel weak anywhere in your body, Violet?" he asks softly. The softness and care in his voice affects Violet deeply. She can't hold it in anymore. "Why are you doing all this for me?" Violet asks, her voice trembling with emotion. "I am a complete stranger to you. Why did you jump into that freezing river to save me? Why did you stand up to my family and fight for my freedom back th
