เข้าสู่ระบบSerena Vaughn was once the invisible wife of Damien Blackwood, a ruthless billionaire who only treated her as nothing more than a trophy. When he humiliates her one too many times, she walks away, ignoring the world’s bets that she’ll come crawling back. But Serena isn’t broken, she’s a dormant storm. Months later, she resurfaces as the CEO of a revolutionary tech empire, her brilliance was undeniable. The same society that mocked her now clamors for her favor, including a Nobel-winning scientist, a Wall Street titan, and Hollywood’s biggest star all scrambling to be the new man in her life. But Damien isn’t ready to let go. When he corners her, demanding to know if her child is his, Serena’s icy reply shatters him. “That’s none of your business, ex-husband, step aside!” Now, the war is on. Old enemies circle like vultures, but Serena is no longer prey. One by one, they fall, until only one question remains. How far will a broken man go when the woman he discarded becomes the queen of his ruin?
ดูเพิ่มเติมTHE BEGINNING(Serena's POV)Three years later.I stood at the window of my office on the top floor of Vaughn Innovations. The sun was setting over Manhattan, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. The city sprawled out below me, alive and bustling.My city. My company. My life.So much had changed in three years. Vaughn Innovations was thriving again. We had expanded into new markets, hired talented people and built partnerships with companies around the world. The company my mother had dreamed of was finally becoming a reality."Mama, are you ready to go home?"I turned to see Isabella standing in the doorway of my office. She was five years old now. Tall for her age. Her dark hair was in two braids. She was wearing her school uniform with the tie slightly crooked."Almost, baby," I said. "Just finishing up some emails. How was school?""Good," Isabella said. She came into the office and flopped down on the couch. "We learned about fractions today. They're confusing.""Mat
THE NEW LIFE(Damien's POV)I woke up early on a Monday morning. The sun was just starting to rise over the California hills. I could see it through the window of my bedroom at Lysander's estate.My bedroom. Not the master suite I had grown up in at the Blackwood mansion. Not the enormous space with the king sized bed and the marble bathroom.Just a regular bedroom with a regular bed and a regular bathroom.And I loved it.For the first time in my life, I was living without Eleanor's influence. Without her money. Without her control.Lysander had been generous enough to offer me a room at his estate. "Just until you get on your feet," he had said. "Until you start earning and can afford your own place."I was grateful. More grateful than I could express.Today was important. Today I had a job interview at a local accounting firm. Nothing glamorous, just a regular job for a regular salary.But it was mine. Something I had earned on my own, not because of the Blackwood name, not because
THE SURPRISE(Serena's POV)I hesitated for a moment. After everything with Eleanor, unknown numbers made me nervous. But something told me to answer it."Hello?" I said cautiously."Long time, girlfriend."The voice was familiar. "Adrian?" I gasped. "Adrian Cole?""The one and only," he said. I could hear the smile in his voice. "Welcome back to New York, Serena.""How did you know I was coming back?" I asked."I have my sources," Adrian said mysteriously. "Plus, the whole world knows about Eleanor's arrest. And I know you. I knew you'd come back to reclaim what's yours."Adrian Cole. One of my three allies in New York City. The men who had helped me when Vaughn Innovations was struggling. When I was building the company from nothing.Adrian, Lucas, and Jason. The three of them had believed in me when no one else did. They had helped me when Eleanor tried to bring me down."Where are you right now?" Adrian asked."On a plane," I said. "About an hour from landing.""Perfect," Adrian
THE NEW BEGINNING(Serena's POV)I couldn't stop the tears as Eleanor was led away in handcuffs. She looked so small and diminished. Nothing like the terrifying woman who had controlled so many lives for so long.Now justice has been served. For my mother, for the lives she had destroyed.I felt Lysander's hand on my shoulder. "Are you okay?""No," I said honestly. "But I will be. Eventually."Elena was crying too. She had known my mother. She had met her several times before she died."I'm so sorry, Serena," Elena said through her tears. "Your mother was such a good woman.""She was," I agreed. "And now everyone knows what happened to her. There's some comfort in that."The courtroom slowly emptied.People were talking in hushed voices, processing what they had just witnessed.I looked around at the people who had fought beside me. Victoria, Claire, Lysander, Elena, and Damien.He was standing with Victoria. Both of them looked exhausted and drained. But also relieved.I wanted to go
THE REVELATION(Damien's POV)"Damien, what did Eleanor do? What did she do to that poor woman?"I was taken aback by Serena's question. How did she know any of this?"Serena, how do you know about the body? I just found out myself minutes ago."There was a pause on the other end of the line. Then
THE VISITORS(Serena's POV)I drove home in a daze. The city lights blurred into streaks of color as tears filled my eyes. I could not think. I could only feel a deep, aching pain in my chest.When I finally reached my apartment building, I sat in the car for a long time. I did not have the strengt
THE CONFRONTATION(Damien's POV)"Michelle?" I said urgently into the phone. "Michelle, is that you? What's wrong? Where are you?"The sobbing continued. I could hear her trying to speak through the tears, but the words would not come out clearly. My heart was racing.Something was terribly wrong.
THE TRUTH UNFOLDS(Serena's POV)I stood frozen, staring at my daughter clinging to Lysander's legs. The words she had just spoken echoed in my mind like a cruel joke."Will you be my daddy and make mummy not cry again?"Tears started streaming down my face. I could not stop them. They came in hot,
