A Vengeful Bride Ashley Mu Novels & Stories

Turning to face him, she felt her stomach clench, and she suddenly felt the urge to knee him in the balls. Ashley understood that she couldn't cause a scene now, he might have her thrown out or killed before she even gets the chance to see her parents arrive. She clenched her jaw, blinked rapidly, and plastered a smile on her face to prevent her tears from spilling. This was the man she'd always loved. The man who had left her for dead a year ago. The man who killed her unborn child. And for that, she'll never forgive him. He'd moved on so quickly and gotten married to her sister, after he thought that she was dead.

“Mr. Steele, this is a family matter. Miss Ashworth has expressed concern about her sister’s mental state following recent events. We have statements suggesting Vivienne may be a danger to herself.” One officer nodded. “We’d like to speak with her.

They named Margaret Ashworth.” Clarissa’s eyes widened in perfect shock. “That’s ridiculous. Mother would never— Roman, you know how fragile Vivienne has been. She’s been making wild claims lately about inheritance and some old contract. She even accused me of terrible things.” She dabbed at dry eyes with a tissue. “I j

“Ashley is a liability. You may have forgotten the pain she has caused this pack, but others haven’t. You can’t afford to keep her this close, Vincenzo. As an Alpha, you need discipline, not weakness.” “Ashley isn’t weak!” My control slipped as I shot back at her. “She is trying to survive here despite how everyone’s treating her.” Mom pursed her lips, shaking her head. “Don’t be blind, Vincenzo. The girl you rejected five years ago is back to manipulate you again. She is trying to seduce you to cause more damage this time.” Seduce me? Where was I when this happened? I laughed bitterly. “You are mistaken, mom. It’s nothing like that.”

Beside the photo was a scanned document—a formal Blackwood family agreement stamped with the word DISOWNED, alleging that Asher had embezzled millions from his father's accounts before being cast out.

Serena looked up instantly. Asher was staring down at his own screen. His face was completely blank, but the knuckles of his hand were stark white as he gripped the edge of the table.

"You’ve worked by my side for two long years. You know me better than anyone else in this city. We are going to tell them that spending all those late nights together, managing the chaos of this company, eventually turned into something else. We fell in love, Charlotte. Quietly, privately, away from the cameras and the office gossip. That is the only story that protects the succession, and more importantly, it’s the only story that protects your reputation." Charlotte looked down at the dense legal paragraphs of the prenuptial agreement. The logic was terrifyingly ironclad. If anyone discovered she was being paid millions to marry her boss under a thirty-day stopwatch, she would be branded a

Like she might disappear if I’m not precise enough. She doesn’t move. Doesn’t wake. Doesn’t react. My jaw tightens. I step back. Then forward again. Because I need to know. I need to understand what I’ve just brought into the only safe place we have left. Slowly— I lift the edge of her shirt. The mark reveals itself again. Clear. Spreading. Worse than I remember. It isn’t just a symbol. It’s woven into her skin. Alive. Ancient. Wrong.

“I should probably introduce myself properly. I’m Valeria Castillo. Vicente’s daughter. Killian’s cousin.” “I remember,” I said quietly. She smiled slightly. “I’m not like the rest of them. I don’t think you’re some scheming spy sent to destroy the pack.” “Thank you,” I said, surprised by the warmth in her voice. “Don’t thank me yet,” Valeria said with a wry smile. “I’m just honest.

You had innocent people and your fellow Rosians murdered for your own greed... After Gray trusted you." "Gray Mctokins is dead! And there's nothing wrong with me being ambitious or wanting to be the leader." Reina glared at Mason and stabbed him in his arm, where the pain hadn't reached yet. "Arrgh! You bitch! Who do you think you are?" Reina chuckled and replied, "Oh, me? I'm Maximus Don's second living daughter, Ashlyn Don. It's nice to meet you in person, Scarface. I've heard tons of stories."
