All Chapters of The Ex-Wife You Tossed, Now a Billionaire’s Queen: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Evelyn’s heels clicked softly against the plush carpet of the ballroom. Crystal lights shimmered off the wine glasses, lazy jazz floated through the air, but it was the whispers—low and awed—that filled the room as she stepped closer to the crowd.“Lucas Callahan’s insane,” someone murmured from the corner. “Three years in and he’s already made the Callahan name skyrocket.”“That must be his wife, right? She’s gorgeous. They look good together.”“Yeah, heard she’s good at business too. Probably helped Lucas a lot.”Evelyn kept her eyes on the couple under the grand chandelier. The man in the white suit stood confidently, wearing that calm, charming smile. Next to him, a woman in an elegant white gown looked polished and perfect. From afar, they looked like the perfect match.If only that man wasn’t her husband.Tightness crept into her chest as the compliments kept coming. Lucas was clearly soaking in the attention, while the woman beside him—Chloe—kept fixing her hair and stealing gl

Sebastian was still watching her. The woman in front of him lowered her head awkwardly, wearing an oversized men’s shirt. Her collar was undone, exposing pale skin marked by yesterday’s kisses.Last night’s memories hit Sebastian again, and he turned away, his expression darkening just a bit.“I’m giving you a week,” he said, rising to his feet. His voice was calm, but absolutely firm. “In a week, I want to see that divorce papers.”No answer. Evelyn stayed silent, staring at the floor with empty eyes. She heard Sebastian’s footsteps fade away, then the bedroom door clicked shut softly.Silence.Evelyn slowly lifted her head and stared at her reflection in the bedroom mirror. Messy hair. Puffy eyes. Still wrapped in that borrowed shirt. The cold crept from her toes to her head.She took a long breath, though her chest stayed tight. “Might as well go home,” she whispered to herself, and she grabbed her own clothes.About half an hour later, Evelyn sat in the back seat of a car while th

The door swung open again. Evelyn was standing by her desk when Sebastian Reed walked in, his steps calm but carrying an air of authority. Two bodyguards trailed behind him, followed by two assistants carrying stacks of documents.The moment Sebastian entered, the room seemed to drop several degrees. His presence filled the air with a cold, unyielding pressure.“You didn’t tell him about the divorce?” His voice was deep, laced with disapproval.Evelyn’s shoulders sagged. “I’m sorry. I have my own plan.”“Mrs. Sinclair, I’m not a patient man. Or… do you want me to be the one to tell him?”Her mind spun in chaos. Even just sitting casually on the sofa, Sebastian’s aggressive presence weighed on her. For a second, she actually considered running.“I… I was going to..”Before she could finish, his large hand wrapped around her wrist. The heat of his palm burned against her skin. When she looked up, his striking face was dangerously close. Somehow, he’d moved in while she was distracted, o

Evelyn knew exactly how to make Lucas listen. After years of practice, she had mastered the art of compromise. Once she’d thought it through, Nancy finally nodded and obeyed her orders. As she walked down the stairs, she shot Evelyn a look filled with venom. To her, it was only natural for her master to be tempted for a moment by a seductress like Evelyn. Lucas was still a man, after all. But that didn’t matter. Even as a servant, Nancy knew she was destined to be the true queen of this house. Once Lucas grew tired of Evelyn, Nancy would rule, and the entire household would be hers to command. Evelyn only watched her coldly as Nancy gathered her things and slipped into her room. The moment the door closed, a pair of strong arms caught Evelyn from behind. Lucas pulled her into his chest, his breath hot against her ear. “You said you didn’t want to be away from me, right? Tonight I’m going to make you happy,” he whispered. Evelyn’s body went rigid. A wave of disgust rose in her

Faced with Chloe’s suspicious, almost accusing voice on the phone, Evelyn felt an alarm go off in her head. Without hesitation, she ended the call. At a moment like this, she couldn’t give Chloe the slightest chance to stir up trouble.Lowering her phone, Evelyn’s breath was still uneven. Sebastian lounged half-reclined on the sofa, one arm draped lazily along the backrest, his gaze deep and unreadable. Evelyn’s hair was a little messy, her body still warm from their earlier closeness.Slowly, she shifted away, straightening her posture and smoothing out her blouse. Sebastian rose to his feet as well, moving with that calm but dominating air that suggested nothing could rush him.“Mr. Reed, I’ve been polite and respectful enough to you,” Evelyn said at last, breaking the suffocating silence. “So don’t push it.”“Push it?” His eyes narrowed slightly, his stare sharp as a blade. “Funny, because I’m pretty sure you’re the one who came on to me first. Isn’t that right?”“That night was a
