My Billionaire Ex-husband's Late Regret
"I spent three years being his 'used rag.' Now, I’m the one cleaning up his empire, starting with the trash."
For three years, Shay Falcone lived for her husband, Massimo. She worked twelve-hour shifts behind the scenes, skipping meals and sleep to ensure his company became a billion-dollar legend. She was his ghostwriter, his secret strategist, and his most loyal soldier. She thought her reward would be the child growing inside her.
But on the night of the Billionaire Launch, Massimo didn't give her a thank you. He gave her a death sentence.
"You're a used rag, Shay," he sneered in front of the world's cameras. "A servant I don't need to pay. Meet my real wife, Elena."
One shove from his bodyguards sent Shay spiraling into a stone fountain. As Massimo walked away to celebrate his wealth, Shay lay in a pool of blood, feeling the heartbeat of her child stop forever.
Two years later, the rag is gone. The Ice Queen has arrived.
When Massimo’s empire begins to crumble, he begs for a meeting with the untouchable Alessia Valois. He expects a savior; instead, he finds the wife he killed.
"Shay?" Massimo gasps, reaching for her. "I... I’ve realized my mistake. Please, I still love you."
Alessia doesn't even look up from her glass of vintage scotch. She steps over his hand as if he were a stain on the carpet.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Falcone," she purrs, her voice cold enough to freeze his soul. "The woman who loved you died in a fountain. I’m just here to collect the debt."
