Arthur And Invisible

For five years, Elara Ashford was the perfect billionaire wife—gentle, loyal, and endlessly patient. She loved her husband quietly, standing behind him as he rose to the top of the business world. To Julian Ashford, the ruthless CEO of Ashford Group, his wife was nothing more than a convenient presence—someone who would never leave, never complain, and never matter. Until the night he publicly humiliates her and proves, beyond doubt, that she will always come second. Instead of begging or crying, Elara calmly asks for a divorce. Certain she will regret it, Julian signs without hesitation. But Elara doesn’t come back. She disappears—and when she returns, she is no longer the invisible woman he discarded. She is confident, radiant, and untouchable, drawing admiration from powerful men who now see her worth. That is when Julian’s world begins to unravel. Haunted by regret, consumed by obsession, and driven to desperation, the billionaire who once controlled everything finds himself losing sleep, sanity, and pride—all for the woman he cast aside. As Julian abandons his arrogance to chase the wife he never appreciated, Elara must decide whether a man who broke her so completely deserves a second chance. Especially when the truth finally emerges: She was never weak. She was always the one holding his empire together. Now the man who once looked down on her must face the most painful reality of all— losing her may be the one mistake he can never undo.

Ruang tamu rumah itu terasa begitu luas, namun entah mengapa udara di sekitarnya terasa menyempit, menekan paru-paruku. Malam ini adalah awal kehidupan baruku bersama Ibu di rumah suami barunya. "Bella, ayo, jangan malu-malu. Mulai sekarang kita adalah keluarga," ucap Ibu dengan senyum merekah, menarik tanganku agar lebih mendekat. Di hadapanku berdiri dua sosok pria yang kini menjadi bagian dari hidup kami. Arthur, ayah tiriku, duduk dengan wibawa yang mengintimidasi. Usianya memang sudah menyentuh kepala lima, tapi aura maskulinnya justru semakin pekat. Tubuhnya gagah, terbalut kemeja yang sedikit ketat di bagian dada, dan brewok tipis di dagunya memberikan kesan tegas yang sulit diabaikan. Namun, bukan dia yang membuat bulu kuduku meremang. Melainkan sosok yang berdiri di sampingnya. Leonard, atau kerap dipanggil Leo. Abang tiriku. "Halo, Bella," sapanya. Suaranya berat, rendah, dan memiliki getaran yang membuat perutku terasa aneh. Leo mewarisi postur gagah ayahnya, namun dengan vitalitas masa muda yang meledak-ledak. Kaos hitam polos yang ia kenakan menempel pas di tubuhnya, mencetak jelas otot-otot dada dan lengannya yang atletis. Sepertinya tidak ada satu inci pun lemak di tubuh itu, hanya otot keras yang siap menerkam. Saat aku mengangkat wajah untuk membalas sapanya, aku menangkap basah tatapannya. Mata itu... tidak sedang menatap wajahku. Mata tajam itu sedang menelusuri lekuk tubuhku, berhenti cukup lama di area dadaku, seolah tatapannya bisa menembus kain blus yang kukenakan. Tatapan itu bukan tatapan seorang kakak, melainkan tatapan seorang pria yang sedang menilai mangsanya.

"I bet you still feel me," I whispered, tracing a lazy finger down her spine, just to make her shudder. "Still stretched from how deep I was inside you." She sucked in a sharp breath, but I caught the way her thighs pressed together, the way she burned with the memory she was so desperately trying to bury. "Shut up," she bit out, her voice shaking. I chuckled, dark and low, brushing my knuckles against her jaw. "Why? Does it drive you insane knowing you let the villain ruin you first?" Camilla He used to make my life hell. Stefano Madden, the golden boy with ice in his veins and a filthy mouth that cut deeper than knives. I was the fat, invisible girl he loved to humiliate. Now, I’m curvy, successful… and unfortunately, his personal assistant. I swore I’d never fall for him again. But the way he looks at me now? Like he wants to ruin me all over again, only slower, dirtier, deeper. And I would let him. Stefano I broke her once. I should’ve walked away. But Camilla Whitlock grew into every man’s fantasy and I hate that she makes me feel. So I push her. Tease her. Own her. Until the line between cruelty and desire snaps. I take her, claim her, and when I put a baby in her, my obsession turns lethal. But when she’s stolen from me, all bets are off. I’ll burn the world to bring her back… even if she never forgives me.

*Excerpt* My gaze met Sergio's. He didn't look away. I couldn't look away either. It felt like there was an invisible magnet pulling us towards each other. He looked away, breaking us from the trance. "Are you sure you're okay, Nicole?" "Come inside." He shook his head. "I was worried, and—" "Come inside, let's talk." He shook his head again, unyieldingly. "We're already talking." "Are you scared?" I asked in a challenging voice, my gazed fixed on him. "What are you so scared of?" "Nicole..." "To answer your question, no, Sergio, I'm not okay." "What's bothering you?" The vulnerability in his eyes towards me was palpable. It was my chance to act. I couldn't afford to waste it. "You," I replied, my gaze still boring into his. "And your fiancee. I couldn't bear watching you together." Sergio swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing.
