Chapter 1: A wife indeed

"This is a total disaster!” Sophia exclaimed, slamming her phone onto the kitchen counter after closing the YouTube app. Her frustration radiated through the quiet morning. Every tutorial she watched made pancakes seem effortless, but after three grueling hours, she had little to show for her efforts. The kitchen smelled of burnt batter, and her once-exquisite apron was streaked with flour and grease.She glared at the misshapen lump in the pan. Is this even a pancake?The thought of serving this mess to Ethan made her stomach twist. Not that her husband had high expectations—he’d long since stopped commenting on her cooking skills—but she still felt the sting of his disapproval every time he scowled at her meals.With a resigned sigh, Sophia abandoned the pan and reached for the bread. Toast and tea again. It wasn’t creative, and it certainly wasn’t impressive, but it was safe. Ethan would grumble, curse the day he laid off the cooks, take a few bites, and request his tea be poured i

Chapter 2: Bargaining chip

Watch out!” A voice shouted from behind as a fast-moving object whizzed past Sophia's her face. Instinctively, she ducked just in time, narrowly avoiding the projectile.“That was quick,” a voice chuckled from behind her. “I thought living large would have dulled a few of the skills you picked up around here.”Sophia rolled her eyes, recognizing the voice immediately. She turned to face her younger brother, not by blood but by street, Abdul, who was grinning like a mischievous child. He was no longer the small boy she remembered; he had grown taller, his once-thin frame now thick with muscle. But despite the changes, he was still the same Abdul—impossible to surprise or outmaneuver.“You rude, little, silly prick,” she muttered as she playfully launched herself at him. Abdul let out a burst of laughter, sprinting away from her. He tried to use a few feints to throw her off, but Sophia had known him since he was born. She had been the one to change his diapers, after all. From the mome

Chapter 3: Motives

Sophia's father's laughter boomed across the room, filling every corner with its deep, resonant sound. He was seated comfortably at the bed post, a green apple in his left hand and a knife in his right, dicing with practiced ease. "How on earth did you manage to put out the fire?" he asked, his amusement evident in his voice."It wasn’t me," Sophia replied, crossing her arms as she made herself more comfortable at the other end of the bed and leaning against the bed post. "One of the housemaids helped douse the flames. I begged her not to tell anyone, but the next day, it was the talk of the house. All the staff could talk about was how their boss’s new wife couldn’t even boil water without nearly burning the kitchen down."Her father burst into another fit of laughter, slapping his knee for emphasis. "That’s priceless! What did Ethan say?" His eyes, already glistening with tears from laughing too hard, were now fully watering.Sophia's irritation surfaced as the memory replayed in h

Chapter 4: Mismatched

By the time Sophia got home, she was utterly drained and a little late. Not that it mattered much—Ethan had already mentioned he'd be working late tonight. She headed straight for her room, bypassing Carla, the only housemaid who stayed overnight. The other staff resumed their duties at eight in the morning and left by six in the evening. Since it was well past seven, Carla was the only one on hand for any urgent errands.Ignoring the plump woman’s polite greeting, Sophia climbed the grand staircase, her heels clicking against the polished hardwood floor. As soon as she reached her bedroom, she kicked off her shoes and began stripping off her work clothes and undergarments, discarding them onto the plush rug.The bedroom was enormous, as lavish as the rest of the house, but it was the adjoining bathroom that always took her breath away. Nearly half the size of the bedroom, it had gleaming marble floors, a glass-enclosed shower and many more features. However, tonight Sophia wasn’t int

Chapter 5: Bleaky hope

It was at moments like these that Sophia wished she could drive. The compound had a variety of sleek cars—luxury brands that gleamed under the morning sun—but Ethan had taken the driver, as usual. No time to start thinking about that, she grabbed her bag, rushed out of the house, and stopped the first cab she saw."Where to, ma'am?" the driver asked, glancing at her in the rearview mirror."DaeVille," she replied breathlessly. "As fast as you can go."The driver nodded and drove into traffic. Sophia leaned back in the seat, trying to calm the storm of anxiety swirling inside her. She rehearsed the apology she intended to deliver, her fingers tightly gripping the file in her lap.By the time they arrived at DaeVille Company, her nerves were having the best of her. The towering glass building loomed over her. She pushed a dollar note into the driver’s hand without waiting for change and bolted out of the car.The security guards greeted her with hopeful smiles, clearly expecting a tip.

Chapter 6: A Close Fling

Margaret giggled, her full lips curling into a smirk. She leaned back against the desk, arms folded beneath her chest. "She’s such a disappointment," she said, her voice laced with amusement. "I wonder how you must feel having her around you."The words had barely left her mouth before Ethan was on her, his grip like a vice as he yanked her forward. His fingers bit into the flesh of her arm, forcing her to meet his darkened gaze."What the hell was that supposed to mean?" His voice was low, seething. "Are you trying to get me divorced?"Margaret arched a brow, feigning innocence. "Oh, please. You didn’t stop me back then. Why start now?"She ripped her arm from his grasp, the movement causing her breasts to rise and fall. She moved over to the side of the mahogany desk at the center of his office, reaching for the crystal decanter and a glass cup. The deep red wine pouring into the glass, rich and dark."Besides," she continued, swirling the liquid in slow, deliberate motions, "why ar

Chapter 7: An Old Nemesis

Sophia’s hands trembled as she yanked open the closet door, her vision blurred by unshed tears. The suitcase sat there, waiting—just like she had been, all this time. She had once believed that Ethan’s distance stemmed from the fact that she wasn’t exactly what he wanted, but she had convinced herself that, with time, he would adjust. That he would see her.She had dreamed of the day he would walk up to her, wrap an arm around her waist like lovers do, whisper sweet words against her skin, and pull her into a kiss filled with warmth and passion. A love story. That’s what she had wanted. That’s what she had waited for.But that day was never coming.All the waiting, the hoping—it had been a cruel fantasy. Because there was someone else. Someone he wanted. Someone he touched.The scene played over in her mind like a movie clip. Ethan’s hands tangled in Margaret’s hair, his lips devouring hers, his body pressed so intimately against her that it had made Sophia feel invisible. As if she h

Chapter 8: Old Scars

Ethan lunged at Alex without hesitation, a storm of jealousy, rage, and possessiveness consuming him. His movements were swift, fueled by an anger so intense, it nearly blinded him. In seconds, he closed the distance between them, grabbing Alex by the collar and slamming him into the wall with a force that rattled him to the bones. "What the fuck are you doing in my house, you son of a bitch?" Ethan spat, his grip tightening like a vice. His voice was low, deadly. "You think you can just walk in here and ruin my life? Show your ugly face and destroy everything I've built? You think you can touch what's mine and get away with it?" With a violent yank, Ethan shoved Alex to the ground. Alex landed with a grunt but barely flinched, propping himself up on his elbow with an amused smirk. He wiped a speck of blood from his lip and chuckled darkly. "Some things never really change, do they?" he taunted, his voice laced with challenge. Sophia, caught between them, stood frozen in shock

Chapter 9: A mother’s whip

No one in the house found rest that night. Not Sophia. Not Ethan. The only one who had a decent night’s sleep was Carla. Buried under a mound of blankets in one of the guest rooms, half-naked with the air conditioner blasting, she was out like the dead. Not even an earthquake could have disturbed her peace. For Ethan, sleep was a distant dream. Lying on the plush couch in his study, staring up at the ornate chandelier that cast a dim glow across the ceiling, his mind worked relentlessly. His thoughts stirred over strategies, tactics, and countermeasures—ways to keep his house, his business, and his life in order. Because Alex had returned, found a way into his life once again.Alex—the one person who had been, and would always be, his greatest competition. In business, in status, in life. Ethan had clawed his way to the top, built his empire brick by brick, yet every time he turned, Alex was right beside him, rising just as effortlessly. The bastard never even broke a sweat.

Chapter 10: Business Thrill

Sophia stared at the phone in her hand, her mother’s words still ringing in her ears. 'Get rid of that thought.'Why did her mother have to make her feel...wrong?Why did she have to do everyone's heart desire while she ignored hers?Why did she have to obey and behave like a puppy?'Get rid of that thought', The words came again.Like hell she would. For years, she had listened. Obeyed. Did what was expected of her. She had been the perfect daughter, the perfect wife—silent, patient, enduring. But where had that gotten her? A loveless marriage. A husband who barely acknowledged her and cheated on her. A mother who valued wealth over her happiness. A life that wasn’t even hers. Sophia clenched her fists. The business card Alex had given her sat on the bedside table, taunting her, daring her to take the next step. She picked it up, her fingers tightening around it. 'You live in wealth, Sophia. How long will it take you to understand that?'Her mother’s voice echoed in her h
