MasukSerena 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?

Maybe it was Victoria looking for me. Or one of the servants checking to see if we needed anything.But when the door opened, it was not Victoria or a servant.It was Marcus. The security guard. The one I had threatened to have assassinated. The one who had been sleeping with Eleanor."What are you doing here?" I asked. My voice came out sharper than I intended.Marcus stepped into the study and closed the door behind him. His face was blank, emotionless. Like a mask."Mrs. Blackwood sent me," he said quietly.Something in his tone made my stomach drop. "Sent you for what?"Marcus did not answer. He just kept walking towards me with that same blank expression.I backed up. "Stay away from me. I'm warning you.""You've done enough warning, Mr. Blackwood." Marcus said.He moved fast. Faster than I expecte
THE DINNER REVELATION(Damien's POV)I drove away from the clinic with my hands shaking on the steering wheel. Anger and humiliation burned through me like fire.How dare that man talk to me like that. How dare he speak about Isabella. How dare Serena just stand there and say nothing while he insulted me.But underneath the anger was something worse. Shame. Because everything Lysander had said was true.I was a coward. I had failed Michelle. I had failed Isabella. I had failed everyone who had ever depended on me.I drove back to the Blackwood mansion in a daze. By the time I pulled into the driveway, the sun was setting. The mansion looked imposing against the darkening sky, like a monument to everything I hated about my life.I walked inside and was greeted by one of the servants. "Good evening, Mr. Blackwood. Your grandmother and sister are in the sitting room."Victoria was back. Perfect. Just what I needed. Another family member to deal with.I went to my study first. I needed a
THE CONFRONTATION(Serena's POV)"Serena? What are you doing here? And who are these people?"I looked at Damien's confused face and felt a flash of irritation. Even now, even in the middle of this crisis, he was asking pointless questions."I'm here to help find Michelle," I said shortly. "That's all you need to know.""And who are these people with you?" He asked again.Lysander walked past Damien without even acknowledging him. He went straight to the clinic door and tried the handle. It was locked, just as Damien had said.Elena followed Lysander, leaving me standing there with Damien."Serena, please," Damien said. "I'm trying to understand what's happening. How do you know about this clinic? And who are those people?""They're helping me," I said. "That's all that matters. Now, can we focus on finding Michelle instead of playing twenty questions?"Damien looked hurt, but he nodded. "The front door is locked. I already tried. And there's no one answering."Lysander was examining
THE SEARCH BEGINS(Serena's POV)After I hung up with Damien, I stood in my kitchen, my heart racing.The body they found was not Michelle. That was good news. But it also raised more questions than it answered.Who was the dead woman? Why had she been killed? And where was Michelle now?Lysander was watching me carefully. "What did Damien say?""The body isn't Michelle," I said. "It's someone else. But Michelle is still missing. And Damien is going to a medical facility in Queens where Michelle was last seen. I'm meeting him there.""Absolutely not," Lysander said immediately. "You're not going anywhere near this. It's too dangerous.""I don't remember asking for your permission," I shot back. "Michelle is in danger because of the Blackwoods. Because of Eleanor. Someone needs to help her. And since Damien has proven over and over that he's useless, I'm going to do it myself.""Serena, please," Elena said. She had been standing quietly in the corner, but now she stepped forward.
