The night felt different – heavier, like the air itself was holding its breath.

Outside the safe house, the world moved on as if the storm wasn’t brewing. But inside, silence reigned. The kind that comes after too many truths have been spilled, and the ground beneath your feet no longer feels like home.

I sat on the window ledge of the upper floor, knees tucked to my chest, staring out at the moonlit horizon. Below, Damien was on the phone, coordinating with Lucien and the last of our loyal allies. But his voice, calm and commanding, couldn’t reach the chaos within me.

The boardroom betrayal. The media smear campaign. The reappearance of his ex offering aid laced with poison. Every move we made felt like it cost us another piece of ourselves.

When the door opened behind me, I didn’t turn.

“You’re not going to sleep,” Damien said softly.

I shook my head. “Sleep feels like surrender”,

He crossed the room without a sound, his presence so familiar now it didn’t startle me. When he sat bes

  • The CEO’s Vengeful Bride   Chapter 100 – The Vengeful Queen and Her King

    The world watched.Not just the boardrooms, not just the headlines, or the cities that once trembled under the Montrose and Crest empires. This time, the world watched two people step into power not because they inherited it……but because they conquered it.I stood beside Damien on the stage of Eira Holdings’ global summit….an event the press had dubbed The Rise of the New Order. I wore black…..not for mourning, but for triumph. Damien’s hand clasped mine as cameras flashed like lightning in every direction.They had called me the vengeful bride. They had whispered about scandals, betrayal, and blood.Let them.They didn’t know what it cost to rise.They didn’t know what it meant to carry fire in your bones and still choose mercy. They didn’t know what it meant to love a man who once broke you, only to rebuild a future with him……one forged by choice, not fate.Damien stepped forward first.He spoke not of legacy, but of accountability. Not of victory, but of vision. Then he turned to m

  • The CEO’s Vengeful Bride   Chapter 99 – The Rebirth

    The world didn’t stop for us…..not when Viper fell, not when the towers bearing our family names trembled under the weight of their sins. But for the first time, Damien and I had stopped chasing shadows. We weren’t reacting to war anymore.We were building something new.Rebirth didn’t happen overnight. It happened in boardrooms, behind locked doors, with late-night negotiations and whispered plans over black coffee and white wine. It happened in the small choices…..the name on a document, the color of a logo, the decision to retire a legacy that once felt invincible.The Montrose-Crest Holdings that once ruled this city was no more.In its place stood something we had built from its ruins….. Eira Holdings. Named for the Norse word for mercy and healing. It was my idea, and Damien had agreed without hesitation.“We’re not just cutting ties with our past,” he’d said, running his fingers through my hair one night. “We’re redefining what power means.”And we were.We refused to take seat

  • The CEO’s Vengeful Bride   Chapter 98 – The Fall of Viper

    The courtroom was silent. Not the kind of silence that brought peace…….but the kind that warned of something final. A reckoning. The kind of silence that came before an empire shattered, before a name, once feared, was reduced to dust.Viper sat in the defendant’s chair like a queen without a throne. Her hair was pulled back too tightly, her once-glamorous eyes dulled with fatigue. The sheen of power that had always surrounded her was gone……..stripped by weeks of legal discovery, public exposure, and now the crushing weight of her own downfall.The judge’s gavel struck wood like a gunshot.“We find the defendant guilty on all charges,” the clerk read aloud. “Corporate conspiracy, insider trading, obstruction of justice, fraud……”Each word was a nail in her coffin.Damien didn’t move. His eyes, sharp and cold, were locked on the woman who had once been the architect of so much pain. I sat beside him, my hand wrapped in his, feeling the tension coil through his body. He wasn’t celebrati

  • The CEO’s Vengeful Bride   Chapter 97 – The Heir’s Return

    The storm had passed…..but in its wake, the air still crackled with unresolved tension. Viper had been taken away, her empire shattered, and her lies exposed to the world. And yet, as Damien and I stood in the aftermath of it all, I knew in my bones the story wasn’t finished.Not yet.We were sitting in Damien’s private study at Montrose headquarters. The fire crackled softly in the hearth, casting shadows along the stone walls and over Damien’s face. He hadn't spoken in a while, lost in his thoughts, his jaw tight and his hands curled into fists.The name haunted him.A son - A brother.Viper’s last words echoed in my mind: “I did it all… for him.”Now that “him” had a face.“There’s someone here to see you,” Silas announced, his voice as controlled as ever….but I noticed the flicker in his eyes. Even he was shaken.Damien stood slowly. “Who?”Silas hesitated. “He says his name is Marcus.”The name hit Damien like a blow.I rose with him. “Marcus? As in……”“My brother.” Damien’s voic

  • The CEO’s Vengeful Bride   Chapter 96 – The Unmasking

    The air inside the courtroom was thick with anticipation. Every seat was occupied, and cameras from all corners of the room flashed incessantly, capturing the most significant moment of the entire battle. Today wasn’t just about Viper’s downfall; it was about truth, justice, and the final unraveling of everything she had built.Elena stood tall beside me, her face a portrait of resolve. This was her moment…..the culmination of years of pain, manipulation, and deceit. Viper had finally been cornered, but it was Elena who was poised to deliver the final blow.I watched as Viper took her place in the defendant’s chair, her once-imposing presence now diminished. She was no longer the queen of Montrose; she was a broken woman, fully exposed, and she had nowhere left to hide. The power she had once wielded was now gone, leaving her to face the consequences of her actions.It had taken everything to get here. Elena had worked tirelessly, gathering evidence, strategizing, and building a case

  • The CEO’s Vengeful Bride   Chapter 95 – The Showdown

    The walls of Montrose Tower had never felt more suffocating. With every passing moment, it seemed like the weight of the empire we had fought so hard to build and reclaim was pressing down on us. Our victory over Viper had been a hollow one; it hadn’t been a final one. Not until Adrian’s betrayal was dealt with.The once-sure foundation beneath our feet had cracked, and I knew we were walking a dangerous tightrope. Adrian’s treachery was a snake coiled beneath our every step, ready to strike and destroy everything we had worked for.Elena and I stood in the shadow of Montrose’s headquarters, the place that had once been our fortress, now turned into an emotional battlefield. The sleek glass walls reflected the storm brewing within. It wasn’t just the storm outside that shook the building…….it was the storm within.We had been pushed to the brink. Viper’s defeat had only been a temporary reprieve, a momentary illusion of safety. The real battle had always been with Adrian, the one who

  • The CEO’s Vengeful Bride   Chapter 94 – The Betrayal Within

    Victory had never felt so sweet, yet there was an unsettling silence that lingered beneath the surface. Elena and I stood in the heart of Montrose Tower, and our world forever changed. Viper’s empire was in ruins…..her corrupt dealings exposed for all to see. Legal victories, media backlash, and the collapse of her once-mighty empire were all part of the aftermath. For the first time, it felt as though we had truly emerged unscathed.But deep down, I knew better. The world always had a way of reminding you that things were never as they seemed.The office around me was quiet, save for the soft hum of computers and the occasional rustle of papers. I was seated at the desk, reviewing the final documents that would seal our victory. Elena, ever the strategist, stood by the window, her gaze lost in thought as she looked out over the city. Despite the victory, I could feel the tension coiling in her…..there was still something waiting to tip the balance, I thought.And then it came.The do

  • The CEO’s Vengeful Bride   Chapter 93 – The Unraveling

    The air was thick with the tension of impending change. Elena and I stood side by side in the heart of Montrose Tower, our world shifting beneath our feet. What had once been a corporate fortress, built from lies and manipulation, was now crumbling. And we were the ones tearing it down. Viper's empire, carefully constructed over years of deception, was unraveling piece by piece. Elena had delivered the Intel….the truth…..and it had been devastating. With each document, and each piece of evidence she provided, the walls of her empire began to collapse.It started with legal action. The lawsuits had come flooding in, one after another, as her closest allies turned on her, now that they saw the truth about her corrupt dealings. Investors pulled out, realizing that her empire was built on the sand of lies, and the stock prices of her companies plummeted. The media, once her loyal ally, had now turned their backs on her as they uncovered the full extent of her betrayal. Every move she had

  • The CEO’s Vengeful Bride   Chapter 92 – The Exposé

    The room had barely settled from the shock of the first revelation when the lights flickered again, and the atmosphere shifted. A hush fell over the crowd, a sense of expectation hanging in the air. This wasn’t over. Not yet.The towering screen behind me flickered to life once more, its cold, blue glow casting long shadows over the opulent gala hall. I stood motionless, my heart pounding in my chest as the video played.It was Viper’s turn now.The video began innocently enough…..footage of me from a series of board meetings, a few moments where I’d been caught on camera making what could be perceived as questionable decisions. But as the images scrolled, they quickly became more sinister. Clips of corporate sabotage, of confidential documents being leaked, of deals that went wrong….all subtly manipulated to place me at the center of every disaster. A masterful web of deceit and I could feel every pair of eyes in the room burning into my skin.There was no denying it. The footage was
