Madison was Lorenzo's secretary. She took care of every aspect of his life-from his personal affairs to business dealings. Everyone thought she was just an overzealous secretary. Unbeknown to them, she was actually his wife of three years. Madison was well aware that Lorenzo didn't love her. He had another woman in his heart for a long time. Out of desperation for his love, she did everything to look like his beloved woman. She lost herself in the process. But she still held out hope that he would fall for her. One day, Lorenzo came across someone who shared a striking resemblance with the woman in his heart. He soon began to pursue her. This was the final straw that broke the camel's back. Madison signed the divorce agreement and said, "Let's get divorced. With this, you can finally be with the one you truly love." But that wasn't the end for them. It was only the beginning of what fate had in store...

Love After Divorce: The CEO's Hard-win Beloved Chapter 1 A Bet

"I need you to come to Goldshore right now."

Madison Graves groggily glanced at the clock. It was half past two in the morning.

"Now?" she asked, barely able to hide the exasperation in her voice.

The man on the other end of the line sneered, "You have to be on call 24/7 to be my secretary. If you can't do that, find another job."

In addition to having been woken up in the middle of the night, Madison had a bad cold and had been light-headed after taking her medicine, but she immediately sobered up after hearing this.

She took a deep breath, pinched her thigh, and forced herself to wake up. "Okay, I'll be there soon."

She got dressed and went downstairs to her car. Goldshore was a famous bar located in the bustling downtown, so she knew it would be impossible for her to find parking nearby.

Madison had no choice but to park her car at the entrance of the alley and walk to the bar in her four-inch heels. When she finally arrived at the door of the bar, she glanced at her watch again.

2:57 AM.

Fortunately, it had only taken her twenty-seven minutes to get here.

She smoothed her hair and walked in.

The bar was brimming with people, but Lorenzo Edwards was still the most eye-catching man in the room.

Wearing a crisp black suit, he sat in a booth, holding a wine glass in his hand, leisurely swirling its contents. Thanks to his handsome features and alluring aura, he always stood out in a crowd.

Just then, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch, frowning slightly.

Without any hesitation, Madison quickened her pace and stopped beside him. "I'm here, Mr. Edwards."

Lorenzo didn't say anything, but someone else reacted to Madison's sudden appearance.

"Oh, my God! It's 2:59! She actually arrived before three o'clock!"

"Lorenzo, you're a prophet. She got here in half an hour."

Only then did Madison realize that there were three other people in the booth-two men and one woman.

Two men sat side by side across the table from Lorenzo, while the woman was sitting on Lorenzo's lap.

Lorenzo smiled and looked at the woman in his arms smugly. "I win."

The woman punched him lightly on the chest and pouted. "Okay, fine. You win. What do you want me to do?"

The two men laughed excitedly.

Madison frowned. "What are you guys talking about?"

One of the men kindly offered her an explanation. "Lorenzo said that his secretary is always on time. No matter when he calls her or where she is, she always arrives in half an hour. None of us believed him, so we made a bet. If you made it here in half an hour, Lorenzo would win."

As he spoke, he slid his car keys in front of Lorenzo with great regret. "I just bought this car, and it's a limited edition. I haven't even taken it out for a proper ride yet!"

Lorenzo took the keys and toyed with them. Smiling, he said, "Well, we had a bet."

Then he turned to the other man and raised one eyebrow. "And what about you?"

"Okay, okay. Here you go. This is the key to my house. It's yours now." After saying that, the man glared at Madison unhappily and said, "How much do you make in a month? You're really dedicated to your job, aren't you? Thanks to your punctuality, you made me lose a villa worth hundreds of millions to this scumbag!"

Madison pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

Then she looked at the woman sitting on Lorenzo's lap.

The lights in the bar were dim and she hadn't paid much attention to the woman just now. However, the moment she saw her face, she immediately broke out in cold sweat.

This woman was none other than the popular actress, Zoe Harris.

But more importantly, she looked so much like someone.

And she looked like that person even more than Madison did.

Lorenzo was completely expressionless. He leaned back with his long legs crossed, one arm around the woman.

Glancing at Madison, he said flatly, "Okay, you can go now."

Madison took a deep breath and asked slowly, "So you called me here in the middle of the night for a bet?"

Lorenzo raised his eyebrows and cracked a charming smile. "So?"

The Fallen Heiress's Debt to the Billionaire

I was once the princess of the Upper East Side, but now I’m just "debt wrapped in pretty skin." To keep my father alive in a federal penitentiary, I signed a contract I didn't fully understand. I thought it was about restoring my family's name, but producer Barnett Orr treated it like a bill of sale for my soul. Inside his limousine, the air smelled like gasoline and fear. Barnett didn't want a star; he wanted a victim. He bruised my jaw and ripped my vintage silk gown to shreds, laughing because he knew I couldn't fight back without signing my father's death warrant. "Don't forget who owns you, Felicity," he whispered. When he dragged me into Dewitt Knight’s penthouse party, I was a walking disaster. I huddled in Barnett’s oversized jacket, my lip bleeding and my spirit shattered. The elite crowd didn't see a victim; they saw a fallen girl selling herself for a role. A former rival poured red wine over me, and the room erupted in cruel laughter while Barnett told everyone he was just "testing my commitment." I looked up at the balcony, locking eyes with Dewitt Knight. He was a god in a bespoke suit, looking down at me with cold, lethal disgust. He didn't see the bruises or the desperation. He only saw a transaction he found beneath him. "So the rumors are true," he said, his voice cutting through the music. "The Aguilars really will do anything for money now. Even this." I was trapped between a monster who wanted to break me and a man who thought I was trash. No one cared that my father's life depended on my silence. When Barnett cornered me in a guest room later that night, his belt jingling like a death knell, I realized no one was coming to save a girl like me. I fought back with a crystal vase, shattering it against his shoulder, but I was drowning in my own terror. Just as Barnett lunged for my throat, the door was kicked off its hinges. Dewitt stood there, finally seeing the blood on the carpet and the map of purple bruises on my bare back. He chased the monster away, but I didn't feel safe. I locked the guest room door, wedged a chair under the handle, and slept with a silver letter opener pressed against my skin. When I crept into the kitchen at midnight and found him waiting in the shadows, I aimed the blade at his heart. "In this house, no one hurts you," he promised, his voice a low velvet rumble. But in a world where I had already been sold once, I knew that even protection came with a price I couldn't afford to pay.
