All Chapters of Rise of Mrs Ashwood: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Soren sees Violet is awake and gently helps her sit up. He asks in his deep cool voice, "Are you okay?" Violet looks him in the eyes and nods. In a weak voice, she says, "Thank you." Soren stares at her for a brief moment, while Violet blushes, wondering why he was staring at her like that. A bodyguard rushes over with a thick blanket, and hands it over to Soren. He wraps Violet with it and picks her up into his arms in front of everyone. The guests witnessing this, gasp and gossip among themselves. "Is that Soren Ashwood?" one guest whispers in a panic. "Don't look him in the eye, he'll ruin us!" another hisses. They know Soren, and they are terrified of him. Soren glares at the crowd and scolds them for just standing there and doing nothing. "Are you all brainless statues?" Soren roars, his dark eyes cutting through the crowd. "You watched a woman drown and didn't lift a single finger!" They all lower their head in shame, staying silent. Soren directs his eyes at the penthouse and

Soren guides a shivering Violet into the backseat of his ultra-luxurious limousine, keeping her close."Turn the heat all the way up," Soren commands sharply. Violet lets out a sneeze and raises her hand to clean her nose. But she freezes midway because Soren attends to her quickly. He dries her hair with an extra towel. This makes Violet's face turn red. She can't understand why someone like Soren was helping a complete stranger like her. Soren takes off the soaking blanket on Violet and wraps her in a thicker towel that was arranged and kept in the car by his guards."Are you experiencing any pain? Do you feel weak anywhere in your body, Violet?" he asks softly. The softness and care in his voice affects Violet deeply. She can't hold it in anymore. "Why are you doing all this for me?" Violet asks, her voice trembling with emotion. "I am a complete stranger to you. Why did you jump into that freezing river to save me? Why did you stand up to my family and fight for my freedom back th

Violet lets out a bitter laugh and lets it ring out. He calls three more times in a desperate panic before finally sending an audio recording. With a trembling finger, Violet presses play. Derek’s furious, venomous voice echoes through the quiet room, “Listen to me, you worthless bitch! You think throwing a ring at me changes anything? Tomorrow morning at nine, we are holding a national press conference. You are going to stand at that podium, tell the media you tripped into the river by accident, and sign over your mother's shares to Chloe to make up for the damage you caused tonight. If you don't show up and fix my reputation, I will make sure you are ruined in this city forever. You are nothing without me!” Violet’s blood boils with pure rage. Her hands shake as she prepares to type back a furious, scathing response to put Derek in his place. But before her thumb can touch the keyboard, a large, warm hand gently but firmly clasps over hers, taking the phone away. Violet gasps and

Standing completely victorious, Violet turns away from her ruined family. Soren stands right beside her, his heart swelling with immense pride as he admires her incredible bravery and fierce strength. He can't take his eyes off her.Watching from the floor, Chloe’s eyes burn with toxic jealousy as she sees the deep, worshipful way the country's most powerful billionaire gazes at her stepsister.She is so mad and wonders why good things happens to Violet all the time. "First, Derek, now Soren Ashwood?! Why her?!" Chloe vents within, watching how Soren's eyes stayed glued on Violet.On the other side of the stage, Derek frantically begs, "Violet, stop this silly game! You're lying about being married to him! You're just trying to hurt me! You're... You're mad right?" Derek grins and crawls near ro hold Violet, but steps back because of Soren's gaze.Derek scoffs and tells Violet to stop this acting and just comeback to him. He promises to take her back and stay away from Chloe from now

Violet sinks into the warm bathwater at the mansion, a triumphant smile finally gracing her lips as she relaxes against the porcelain rim.She has successfully crushed her enemies and reclaimed her mother's corporate throne."Is this finally the end of my revenge?" she muses silently, looking down at her hands. But as she tilts her head back, her mind instantly drifts back to the intense public press conference kiss.Her face flushes a bright pink in the steam, unable to forget the feeling.She then recalls Soren's mysterious words from the limousine, "You don't need to remember yet, but soon."
