I learned about his secret, and my revenge began. I didn't care anymore about the consequences of my decision; I was too blinded by all the lies. I thought I'd laugh hard to see him crawling on the ground, but to my surprise, I didn't. Perhaps because the truth prevailed that this stubborn heart of mine still loved this man that I now despised. I lied to myself, denying this feeling for him. All because of my stupid revenge. Just when I thought I couldn't fool myself anymore, I realized I was too late. And I just couldn't cry hard enough.

Through Your Eyes, Book 2 Chapter 1 1

We rested for a while after we arrived home. Our vacation in Hawaii was long enough to make me fall completely for my husband. He cared for me like I was the breath of his life, and he attended to my every need like it was his only lifeline.

"Excited for my surprises?" Sean asked after he lay down at my side, still panting.

We just christened our bedroom with our first lovemaking in the house. The first surprise I got after we stepped inside was to see that the connecting doors of our units were finally opened, converting it to a single, detached house. Everything Sean wanted to do in his absence that involved personal and private matters was always accomplished through Philip.

"I already have everything. How could I ask for more?" I replied, snuggling into his chest. He also lifted my head and inserted his arm under my head, cuddling me closer.

"You deserve to have more. Even before you were born, you are already destined to be great."

I giggled and burrowed my face into my new, favorite spot--his chest. There's something in his masculine scent, especially when it diffused with the fragrance of his musk. I just couldn't understand this weird thing about me lately. Probably, because our souls had then became one.

"What are you talking about?"

"In case you have forgotten, I am Red Nelson, the daughter of a seafarer who lost his life on board. My mother died when I was three, and I grew up under the care of a nanny. When dad left, a heartless businessman took me in. He provided me a home, funded my education, and bought me all those fancy things. He gave me everything, except for his damn heart. All because a beautiful woman named Calla already owned it."

"Where's my part of the story?" Sean grumbled, and I giggled again. I just love to see his sulking face, even if it was just an act. In those days we were alone with each other, away from our real world and away from work, I was glowing in his love.

"One day, when I got too fed up and humiliated, I happened to met a young and stunningly handsome billionaire. One time, he made me crazy in thinking he got infected by the Bronc X virus. Since then, he turned himself into a shadow."

"Shadow?" He turned to his side and placed his elbow on the pillow, raising his hand and rested his head on his palm.

I smiled at how interested he seemed in listening to his part of my story. "Shadow, because wherever I turned my head, he was always there. When I needed a partner on the dance floor, he came over like my knight in shining armor. When I needed a shoulder to cry on, he gave me his. When I needed a job to get away from Eric, he offered me one. When I needed a house, he offered me a unit. Only that I didn't know that the unit he offered is connected to his own."

"What else?"

"Later on, he hurt me with his lies. I learned that she kept the woman, the woman who gave him the first romantic experience, and the woman who first made his heart beat. Most of all, the woman who carried his baby in his womb."

"Babe-" He started to reason out, but I cut him by placing a hand in his mouth.

"I tried to understand, and I tried to see it in a good way. Mr.Sean Grey has a good heart; he just can't turn his back on his child. And because he proved it to me by being persistent in asking for my hand in marriage, I gave him my whole heart. If a man asks to marry a woman, I believe he wants to be with her forever."

He hugged me tighter and kissed me on the forehead. "I'm sorry, dear. I didn't want to hurt you unnecessarily. President Abella asked me to hide her from the angry people, and so I did. Also, because Calla is pregnant and that she said the baby could be mine."

I didn't know why I suddenly felt a sense of bitterness. Maybe, I was just jealous. "Didn't she ask you to marry her for your child's sake?"

"Of course, she did. But as I said, I want only you in my life."

He started kissing me again, and I felt that in that kiss, he wanted to make up for lying to me. He wanted to let me feel that he, indeed, wanted no other woman to be with him in his whole life, except me.

Touched by his move, I also kissed him back and gave him my full submission. And before we knew it, we were already into another round of sensual lovemaking.

"Now, let's take a bath and go out for lunch," Sean said after he pulled out from me.

"No, I'm tired."

"Then, I'll help you."

Without waiting for a reply, he picked me in his arms and brought me to the bathroom. I allowed him to wash me, a routine that I always loved. Closing my eyes as I dipped into the lukewarm and scented water, I waited until he rinsed and carried me back to my room.

Later at the closest restaurant to our house, we chose a table close to the glass wall where we could see outside.

"What do you like for a drink?" I asked Sean as I flipped the pages of the menu to the beverage section.

Silence answered me. I glanced at him and found that he was staring outside. I followed his eyes, and I saw Philip coming out of his new, expensive car and walked towards one of the vehicles in the parking lot. As I followed Philip with my eyes, I also glanced at Sean. His eyes were sharp as he cast an intense gaze at Philip.

Soon, his eyes widened in shock as Philip opened the door of another car. I also looked closer, and I realized that the man behind the steering wheel was Eric!

"Babe, let's go!" Sean said, pulling my hand and helped me spring to my feet. He did not wait for my reply, and I got nervous. Sean was never like this--he always waited for my decision in almost everything.

Running fast to cope up with his long strides, I held his hand as we took the exit door.

"Guard, do you have a car-for-hire here?"

"Yes, sir. I'll call one."

He never explained what he was doing, and he seemed lost in his thoughts. He only got back to reality when the car stopped in front of us.

"Get in, babe! Fast!"

Phoenix Rising: The Scarred Heiress's Revenge

Xiao Hong Mao
4.3

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.

The Convict Heiress: Marrying The Billionaire

Rollins Laman

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."
