All Chapters of The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Mom, if Dad and Aunt Sienna get married, can I live with them?” The question pierced Cassie’s heart like a blade.***“Good night, Mommy. I love you,” six-year-old Rose whispered, her small arms looping around Cassie’s neck. The little girl’s curls brushed against her mother’s cheek as Cassie tucked the blanket gently around her.Cassie smiled, warmth flooding her chest. “I love you more, honey. I always have, and I always will.”Rose smiled sleepily, but then her expression turned thoughtful. “Mommy… does Daddy love you too?”Cassie froze for a second. That question was a dagger she wasn’t prepared for. She forced a gentle smile and brushed her daughter’s hair from her face. “Of course he does, sweetheart. He just… works a lot. He’s busy.”Rose opened her mouth as if to say something, then hesitated. “But—”“But what?” Cassie asked softly.“Daddy said I shouldn’t tell,” Rose murmured, turning to her side. Within seconds, her breathing evened out into the quiet rhythm of sleep.Cassie

The city noise faded behind them, replaced by the hum of tension, electric and unexpected. Cassie stared at him, unsure whether to laugh or run.She had just lost her husband. Now his twin was asking her to play a part in his world.And somehow, deep inside, she knew that saying yes might change everything.What kind of cruel fate was this? Would he have made the same offer if he knew she was his soon to be ex-sister-in-law?“I’d rather pay for the damages,” she said seriously, her voice calm but firm.Franklin took offense, her rejection landing like a slap. He pulled a notepad from his coat pocket, scribbled something, and handed it to her. “There. Call my mechanic and have it fixed.”Without another word, he turned and stepped into his Bentley. Just then, a Rolls-Royce pulled up beside him.As Franklin disappeared into the back seat, a sharply dressed man exited and approached Cassie to discuss the damages.The amount was staggering. But Cassie didn’t flinch. She opened her banking

Cassie pulled Rose tightly into her arms, holding her as if she could shield her from everything waiting outside those walls. “Rose, sweetheart… please go upstairs and wait for me in your room, okay?”The little girl hesitated, her brows knitting, the innocence in her eyes quickly flooding with fear. “Are they coming for you? Daddy said you did something bad. Is it true?”Cassie’s heart plunged, a painful weight settling so quickly it stole her breath. Across the living room, Adrian and Corinne stiffened.Julius stood by the far corner near the staircase, his jaw tight, fury radiating off him as he glared at the mention of his brother’s name. But Cassie steadied herself. She had been a mother far longer than she had been a victim.“You don’t have to worry about anything,” she whispered, brushing a curl behind Rose’s ear. “And I might be gone for a little while… but you told me you wanted to stay with Daddy and Aunt Sienna for now, right?”Rose nodded twice, small, hesitant dips of her

Franklin Roth should have been in Atherton, California by now, but something held him back. Yesterday, on his way to O’Hare International Airport, he received a phone call about a business proposal too enticing to ignore.It was the real reason he had traveled to Chicago, aside from meeting his twin brother. He called his mother, apologizing for the sudden change of plans, his voice tight with guilt.On his way to meet the client downtown, Franklin’s car jolted forward as he accidentally bumped into the vehicle ahead.The red taillights shattered under the impact. He cursed under his breath. Accidents, minor or major, were unusual for him, and quickly stepped out, prepared to compensate the driver.But fate had a cruel sense of humor. The driver was none other than his soon-to-be ex-sister-in-law.Franklin’s frown deepened. Frederick had spoken endlessly about his ex-wife, Cassie, and now Franklin finally had the chance to meet her. Yet something about her finances didn’t add up.Wors

Cassie only wanted a moment to breathe. The meeting with Carter had been suffocating.Then Frederick, cold and distant, Sienna smiling with that polished sweetness she wore like perfume. Cassie slipped away to the washroom, hoping for a few minutes where no one’s eyes were on her, where her heart could calm down enough to stop hurting.She didn’t expect footsteps behind her. And she definitely didn’t expect Sienna to follow.“Cassie,” Sienna whispered the moment the door closed, her voice trembling. Then, to Cassie’s shock, she dropped to her knees, hands clasped as if in prayer.“I’m so sorry for taking Frederick. You know we were supposed to get married before my accident.”The apology hit Cassie like ice water. Too sudden. Too neat. Too rehearsed.Cassie folded her arms. “I know you two broke up because of your sickle cell status. So when exactly did that change, Sienna? And what about the money you gave me for the doctor? What was that for?”As casually as she could, Cassie tapped
