My step-brother and his girlfriend ambushed me in my own penthouse, their eyes burning with a hatred I' d never seen. They called me a thief, a whore, and accused me of trying to steal their inheritance with the "bastard child" I was carrying. Their fists and stilettos rained down on me. A final, vicious kick to my stomach ended everything. I felt the life inside me slip away, a crimson tide staining the marble floor. They celebrated, believing they had protected their "family honor." My desperate pleas that the baby's father was the powerful Jerimiah Mcpherson were met with scornful laughter. "That old man can' t have kids!" they sneered. As they bound my hands and threw me into the pool to finish the job, the door exploded inward. It was him. Jerimiah. My husband. The look on his face as he saw me, bleeding and broken, and understood what they had done to our child, was not just rage. It was the promise of a slow, agonizing hell they had just unleashed upon themselves.

Broken Wife, Billionaire Husband's Vengeance Chapter 1

My step-brother and his girlfriend ambushed me in my own penthouse, their eyes burning with a hatred I' d never seen.

They called me a thief, a whore, and accused me of trying to steal their inheritance with the "bastard child" I was carrying.

Their fists and stilettos rained down on me. A final, vicious kick to my stomach ended everything. I felt the life inside me slip away, a crimson tide staining the marble floor.

They celebrated, believing they had protected their "family honor." My desperate pleas that the baby's father was the powerful Jerimiah Mcpherson were met with scornful laughter.

"That old man can' t have kids!" they sneered.

As they bound my hands and threw me into the pool to finish the job, the door exploded inward. It was him. Jerimiah. My husband. The look on his face as he saw me, bleeding and broken, and understood what they had done to our child, was not just rage. It was the promise of a slow, agonizing hell they had just unleashed upon themselves.

Chapter 1

The first blow landed before I even registered their presence. It was a searing pain against my cheek, a crack that echoed in the penthouse's high ceilings. My head snapped back, a dizzying jolt running through my body. The metallic taste of blood flooded my mouth. I stumbled, my hands instinctively flying to protect my belly.

"You bitch!" Brooks's voice, raw with fury, ripped through the stunned silence. His eyes, once familiar, were now burning with a hatred I barely recognized. "You think you can just waltz in here, pregnant with some bastard child, and steal what's rightfully ours?"

Jazmyne, his girlfriend, emerged from behind him, her designer heels clicking ominously on the polished marble floor. Her smile was a cruel twist, a predatory gleam in her eyes. "Our birthright, Alexa. You were always so good at taking what belonged to others."

My mind reeled, not just from the impact, but from the sheer audacity of their words. Bastard child? They had no idea. The intricate web of my father's will, the trust, the anonymity of the donor... none of it was about stealing. It was about preserving, protecting. A promise made, a legacy upheld. A secret that, if revealed, would change everything. But not now. Not like this.

I spat a mouthful of blood onto the pristine floor, the crimson splatter a stark contrast to their pristine lies. "Rightfully yours? What exactly have either of you earned? You squandered every opportunity Dad gave you, Brooks. And you, Jazmyne, you've just been riding his coattails, waiting for a handout." My voice, though trembling, carried a sharp edge. "You think a few months of a failed crypto scam gives you the right to tear down everything he built?"

Jazmyne's eyes widened, a flicker of genuine shock crossing her face before it was replaced by a sneer. "How dare you! You're just jealous, Alexa. Jealous because you had to get pregnant by some anonymous donor to secure your place. While I, I was always there, supporting Brooks, building our future." Her words were laced with venom, dripping with a false sense of moral superiority. "You' re a hypocrite. Living in this ivory tower, parading around your ill-gotten gains, while we were out there, fighting for every penny."

"Fighting?" I laughed, a bitter, broken sound. "You call swindling unsuspecting investors out of their life savings 'fighting'? Don't make me pull up those embarrassing news reports, Jazmyne. Or the rumors about how you charmed your way into Brooks's life after his last business venture crumbled, leaving him with nothing but debt and a broken ego."

Jazmyne flinched, her carefully constructed facade cracking. She turned to Brooks, her lower lip trembling. "Brooks, baby, she's trying to turn you against me. She' s always been like this, trying to isolate you." Her voice dropped to a whimper, feigning vulnerability. "She' s just bitter because she can't keep a man. Remember all those rumors about her affairs before... before she married that old man?"

My blood ran cold. The accusation of infidelity, the thinly veiled jab at my relationship with Jerimiah. The anonymous donor wasn't just anonymous to the world; he was a very real, very powerful figure in my life. A secret my father had orchestrated, meticulously planned to ensure Helios Dynamics' future. My heart hammered against my ribs, not just for myself, but for the child growing inside me.

Brooks, predictably, fell for it. His face contorted, a mask of unbridled rage. He lunged forward, grabbing my arm, his fingers digging into my flesh. "You dirty little whore! How dare you disrespect Jazmyne? How dare you bring a bastard into this family and call it an heir?" His grip tightened, pulling me off balance.

He shoved me against the cold marble wall. My head hit the hard surface with a sickening thud, stars exploding behind my eyes. A wave of nausea washed over me, but it was the sharp, cramping pain in my abdomen that truly terrified me. "My baby," I thought, a desperate plea echoing in my mind.

"Get out!" Brooks screamed, his face inches from mine. His breath reeked of stale alcohol and cheap ambition. "Get out of our house, you little thief! You don't belong here!"

The world blurred. I felt a cold disconnect, a familiar numbness creeping in. It was the same feeling that had consumed me years ago when my father, in a fit of drunken despair after his second divorce, had publicly disinherited me, calling me a "cold, unfeeling businesswoman" compared to his reckless but "passionate" son. It was the same numb shock when he'd later rescinded that, only to twist the knife deeper with a trust that felt less like an inheritance and more like a test.

My mind, in its desperate attempt to find an anchor, flashed back to a conversation with Jerimiah. He was a force of nature, the "Shark of Wall Street," a man whose very name commanded respect and fear. He had been my father's closest friend, his most trusted confidante. After my father' s death, when I was struggling to keep Helios Dynamics afloat, Jerimiah had been the one to offer a way forward. A solution to the complex will, a path to secure the company's future through an heir.

"Alexa," his deep voice had resonated through the phone, "your father made a pact with me. A legacy. A bloodline. I will ensure it continues."

He had arranged everything with a quiet efficiency that was both terrifying and comforting. The anonymous donor. The IVF. The meticulous legal framework. He guarded his privacy fiercely, and I knew his reputation alone, let alone his fury, would crush Brooks and Jazmyne if he ever learned of this. The thought of his wrath, cold and absolute, sent a shiver down my spine, even as I lay battered on the floor.

My hand instinctively went to my stomach, a desperate shield. "Please," I gasped, the word raspy, barely audible. "Just... leave. Get out of my penthouse. And I won't call the police. I won't involve... anyone." I was begging, not for myself, but for the tiny life within. I just needed them to go.

Jazmyne scoffed, planting her hands on her hips. "Oh, she's making demands now? After attacking Brooks and trying to steal our inheritance? Brooks, she's playing you. She always does." Her eyes narrowed. "She probably thinks she can just call her sugar daddy to fix this, doesn't she?"

Before I could process her words, Jazmyne's foot swung out. The heel of her expensive stiletto dug into my side, a sharp, agonizing stab that made me cry out. My vision swam again, pain blossoming through my abdomen like wildfire.

"Sugar daddy?" Brooks sneered, emboldened by Jazmyne's cruelty. "You think that old man can save you now? He's probably laughing his ass off, watching you desperately cling to a company that's meant for me." He kicked my leg, a dull ache spreading through my thigh. "You're pathetic, Alexa. Always have been. Always trying to prove something, always falling short."

I bit back a scream, the pain blinding me. But his words, his arrogance, cut through the fog. "Falling short?" I rasped, pushing myself up despite the throbbing in my head and belly. "You're so deluded, Brooks. So utterly convinced of your own importance. You think this company, this legacy, is yours by right? You think you still have any claim?" I forced myself to stand, swaying slightly. My eyes, narrowed with a newfound resolve, locked onto his. "You're wrong, Brooks. You. Are. Disinherited."

Jazmyne let out a cackle, a harsh, grating sound. "Disinherited? Oh, honey, that's rich. You and your little incubator project think you can just write us out? We're the real family, the bloodline."

Brooks's chest puffed out, a caricature of his father's imposing presence. "She's right. I am the sole heir. The true Sullivan. You're just a placeholder, Alexa. A broken toy Dad kept around out of pity."

My hand instinctively went back to my belly, a protective gesture that was both unconscious and deliberate. "No," I whispered, though my voice resonated with an unexpected strength. "This child. My child. This is the future. The true heir. The one who will protect everything."

Brooks's face purpled. His eyes, already blazing, now held a terrifying spark of pure hatred. "That bastard? That anonymous mistake? You think that thing has more claim than me, the legitimate son?" His voice was a guttural snarl. "You think I'll let some illegitimate brat steal what's mine?"

He moved with a speed I didn't anticipate. A blur of motion, a heavy thud against my abdomen. The force of the blow sent me flying backward, slamming me to the floor. An excruciating, white-hot pain ripped through me, a pain unlike anything I had ever known. It wasn't just my body; it felt like my very soul was tearing apart.

I landed hard, the impact jarring every bone. My hands instinctively clamped over my belly, a futile attempt to shield the life within. Blood. So much blood. It bloomed rapidly on my light grey dress, a crimson stain spreading across the expensive fabric. A whimper escaped my lips, a desperate plea for a life that was already slipping away.

I looked up, my vision hazy, but I could clearly see the twisted, triumphant smiles on their faces. The pure, unadulterated malice in their eyes. They weren't just angry; they were relishing my pain. They were celebrating my demise. Fear, cold and absolute, seized me.

"No," I choked out, the word thick with blood and despair. "You don't understand. He's not... he's not just some anonymous donor. He's... Jerimiah Mcpherson. He's-"

But Brooks's angry roar drowned out my words, cutting off the desperate truth that might, just might, have saved us all.

To the world, I was Delia Fitzgerald, the spoiled, vacuous daughter of the South's wealthiest family. But behind the practiced pout and expensive stilettos, I was a sleeper agent, a shadow trained for war. The mask cracked the night my fiancé, Ansel Gibson, dumped me in the rain. He didn't just break the engagement; he recoiled in physical disgust, claiming that the very sight of me made him physically ill. When I returned home, I expected my father to be furious about the failed business merger. Instead, I found him paralyzed by a primal terror I had never seen. It wasn't about the money; it was about a "blood debt" and a mysterious parchment that held our family's lives in the balance. "You will go to the Gibsons and beg for forgiveness," my father rasped, his hands shaking uncontrollably. "If this contract is broken, there will be blood." My own brothers, men who usually ruled the city, could only watch in grim silence. I realized then that I wasn't a daughter to them-I was currency, a lamb being led to the slaughter to pay for a secret I didn't even know existed. I didn't understand why the Gibsons were so obsessed with me, or why Killian Gibson-the family's true monster-was suddenly tracking my every move with a predatory smile. He traced the callouses on my hands, marks from thousands of rounds of gunfire that no debutante should have, and whispered that he wanted me where he could see me. If they wanted a pawn, they picked the wrong girl. I decided to stop running and walked straight into the lion's den, accepting a job as Killian's "Chief Special Assistant." I was going to find that parchment and tear their world apart from the inside. The game had officially begun, and this time, the "Baby Girl" was the one holding the knife.

I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband’s aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason’s coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason’s mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I’m starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.
