“You threw divorce papers in my face, humiliated me, and now you’re crawling back saying you love me?” Samantha laughed coldly, her voice dripping with venom. “Do I look like a fool to you, Nathan?” “I made a mistake,” he whispered brokenly. “Please, Samantha… don’t leave me. I still love you.” “Love?” she asked with a mocking smile, dragging a finger slowly down his chest. “You didn’t love me when you threw me out for someone richer. You just want me now… because you have nothing left.” ***** Samantha gave up everything for love—her family, her pride, her identity—just to please a man who saw her as nothing more than a disposable wife. After sacrificing everything for Nathan and his controlling family, all she got in return was betrayal, humiliation, and divorce. But Samantha had a secret. She wasn’t just a scorned ex-wife, she’s the hidden heiress of the most powerful conglomerate in America and she’s done playing nice. When she returns to the world she once left behind, she isn’t the meek woman begging for love anymore. She’s fierce, fearless, and filthy rich. And this time, she’s calling the shots.

Aiden leaned on the doorframe and watched her. He had asked her to not stress herself and let Linda, Mia and the rest handle it, but Samantha didn't just want to sit and watch.Aiden sighed and shook his head. When he saw that she was about to pick up her box, he quickly rushed to her and took it from her. “Hey, what did I say about carrying heavy stuff?” he asked with an eye roll.Samantha chuckled. “It's not heavy at all. They are just ribbons, okay? Now give it to me.”Aiden turned away from her. “Not gonna happen. You're supposed to be resting. I have no idea why you're obsessed with making it perfect.” he pouted.The employees who were present and helping with the decorations couldn't believe that their boss was actually acting like a baby right now. This was something they didn't see
135.The man helped her to her feet and she tucked strands of hair behind her ears. “Th... Thanks for breaking my fall.” she said.The man smiled, showing cute dimples that almost got her lost in them. Darcel wondered why a total stranger was having this much effect on her. He had jet black hair that was neatly tousled, giving him a mysterious yet a bad boy look complemented by his angular jaw and cherry thin lips. “My pleasure,” he responded, his voice deep, causing Darcel's knee to wiggle. She thanked the Lord that she was wearing a coat.Darcel said nothing. The man smiled again and stretched out his hand for a handshake. “The name's Tristan,” he said and she took his hand with a polite smile. “Nice to finally meet you in person Darcel.”Darcel blinked. “Huh? You know me?” she asked.Tristan nodded. “Who doesn't? You're a very popular artist and you work with Jessi Arts, of course I'd know you.”Darcel's cheeks flushed. Who would have thought that she would have a fan who's so goo
134.“Oh, Darcel,” Russell rushed to her and embraced her, causing her eyes to widen in shock. Darcel didn't return the hug. She felt like she was dreaming. Her father hadn't hugged her with so much love in his eyes before. How did he even find her? Well, she was on television a few minutes ago.Russell pulled away from the hug when she didn't return it, his eyes turning glassy as he looked at her. She looked different and even more beautiful than the last time he saw her. He had searched for her and couldn't find her. The last time he saw her on television, she was in Los Angeles, but he couldn't get her exact location. His daughter has grown so much.Darcel looked at her father. The man looked stressed out. There were eyebags under his eyes, and he was aging so fast. She could swear he had lost a lot of weight too. What happened while she was away?“It's been a while, Dad.” she forced an awkward smile.“Indeed,” Russell replied. “I'm happy I finally got to see you again, Darcel. I'v
133.As they drove to the Callymore’s mansion, Samantha couldn't help but to suspect that something was fishy. This was the first time since Yasmeen and Reginald returned to the country that she was asking them to come have dinner with her. Could she be planning something sinister? What if the woman wanted to get rid of her baby?Aiden noticed the expression on her face and placed his hand on hers, causing her to turn to look at him. He smiled at her. “You shouldn't be worried, Sam. I know my mother can overreact sometimes but one thing I know is that she won't go as far as hurting you or the baby.”Samantha bit her lower lip and laughed awkwardly. “I never said she was going to hurt me or my baby.” she replied, trying to play it cool, but Aiden knew her better than anymore.“Sweetheart, you looked like a sheep about to be slaughtered. Even if I don't know how expressions like that work, I know what you're scared of that much, especially in your condition.” he placed his hand on her t
132.“Are you kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me?” Nathan yelled, throwing the things on the table to the ground.“Calm down. What do you expect? She is married, and it's only normal for a married woman to get pregnant!” Laylani snapped at Nathan, who was already feeling like going insane after seeing the news of Samantha's pregnancy. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe that she didn't get pregnant even after they were married for years, and now that she was married to Aiden, it wasn't even up to a year, and she was already pregnant? He couldn't stand for it. He won't stand for that bullshit!“Mum you don't understand!” he yelled. “Samantha is my wife. She belongs to me.”“It's time you get over it! Sink it into your fucking head that she is not a property you can just claim. You lost her, okay? Accept that and move on. Stop acting like you're going crazy when all these was your fault to begin with. You divorced her.”Nathan couldn't believe what his mother was saying. “Mu
131.“Are you for real?” Samantha asked Ashlyn, who smiled and nodded at her. “Of course I’m for real,” she said with a sigh. “I have been in hiding for so long and I know he’s been looking for me. Even when he didn’t see me, he joined you to fight for me, and that’s something no one would ever do for anyone. I’m not saying he did it because he is my brother. He did it because he loved me, and I couldn’t bring myself to keep hiding from him this way. So I have summoned up courage and I will definitely show myself to him now.”Samantha was over the moon. This was the best news she’s heard in months. She could already imagine the look on Aiden’s face when he sees Ashlyn. But then, she wanted to make it even more special and dramatic.Smanatha leaned forward with a smile. “Aiden’s birthday is in a week, Ashlyn,” she said and Ashlyn nodded with a smile. “And we planned on celebrating his birthday with the company’s joint dinner. Don’t you think you coming to that dinner would be the best
