All Chapters of You Signed Away Your Queen, Now Pay The Price: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"I want a divorce." My husband Roman announced. I froze. The smile disappeared from my face. Those four words fell from his mouth as casually as if he were cancelling a business meeting. I stared at him from across the dining room, almost forgetting I was holding a wineglass. "Sorry, what?" I whispered, wondering if I had heard him correctly. "You heard me." Roman Blakewood glanced at his watch, and even after five years of marriage, he could not spare me the decency of looking me in the eyes. Five years. For five whole years, I had stayed by his side, been the perfect wife, helped him when his company struggled, sacrificed my own ambitions to support his, and convinced myself it was the right thing to do. Had I been so stupid? So foolish? I tried to swallow the hard lump that had formed in my throat and forced myself to look at my husband. "Why? Today is our anniversary; I arranged a dinner for us. Just the two of us." I gestured to

The black, swirly gates opened before Craig had even stopped the car, and I stared out the window. My heart tightened as I took in the view; nothing had changed. Everything looked the same, even the fountain in the middle of the courtyard my mother had adored. The white and red roses she had planted around it before she died were still there, along with the huge oak tree my father used to sit under with me when I was a little girl. Everything was the same, yet it felt so different. Five years had passed since I left this place for a man who promised me the world, a man I thought loved me, worshipped me, and would always be by my side. I never understood why my father had dismissed Roman so easily. Back then, I had believed my father was wrong. Now, after everything Roman had done, I was beginning to understand that he had seen something I had been too blinded by love to notice. Now, here I was, returning home, humiliated and divorced, with the painful reminder that I had was

By the time the boardroom emptied and the meeting was officially over, I stayed in my seat, trying to stop my head from pounding. My father smiled at me as he walked out of the room with the last person. This company was my responsibility now, and it was overwhelmingly strange at first, but then I thought about my mother and how proud she would be that I was here, finally standing on business. I used to think my mother would have loved Roman, but now I wasn't so sure. Maybe she would have agreed with my father five years ago and been just as disappointed in me. Well, now I was here, determined to set things right. I glanced at the proposal Sophia had left on the table, sighed, and opened it. Damien Cross. The man my ex-husband had despised for so long. His biggest rival. A smile formed on my face as I thought about how Roman would react if he knew where I was right now and what I had in my hands. He really had absolutely no idea what he had lost, what he would spen

Roman's POV"Where the hell is the revised chapter?" I yelled, staring at the scattered documents on my desk.Daniel looked uncomfortable as he stood opposite me, his head lowered."Well, what do you need to tell me, Daniel?" I snapped. I had a feeling I wouldn't like whatever excuse was about to come out of his mouth."Mr Blakewood, the legal department is still reviewing the amendments," he finally said.I felt my blood boil. "Still reviewing them? Are you for real?" I slapped my hand on my desk and almost spilt the coffee I had barely taken two sips of."They have raised a few concerns about the supplier's revised items, Mr Blakewood," Daniel continued."Then find out what those concerns are and get me an answer before the end of the day. The clock is ticking," I insisted.Daniel nodded and turned to leave, but I called him back."Yes, Mr Blakewood?""I would appreciate it if everything were on my desk when I ask for it next time." I glared at him, and he nodded in acknowledgement

Vanessa sulked the moment I returned to the home I had once shared with Ellena.“I wanted to go to the villa, Roman. I don’t want to be in this house another minute. It’s like having that bitch here with us. The decorations, the carpets, even her clothes are still hanging in the laundry room. In fact, the whole house is all hers,” Vanessa complained, her arms crossed over her chest.I glared at her.Work had been exhausting today, and there was no way I was dealing with Vanessa and her whiny mouth. Not tonight.I was still furious that Ellena hadn’t responded to my messages, and none of my calls were going through either. It was making me increasingly angry.“Vanessa, if you want to go to the villa, then go,” I sighed.That clearly wasn’t the answer she had been expecting.“Roman, are you serious? I’m not going to take myself there,” she complained again. “Is this really a good way to treat the mother of your child?” She pouted at me.I rolled my eyes.“Then call an Uber. I’m too tire
