Return of the Heiress: I Married My Ex-Husband's Brother Chapter 1 The Betrayal

"Mrs. Elliot, Sir is currently in a meeting and cannot take calls," said the secretary in a chilly voice.

Before Elena could respond, the person on the other end hung up.

Elena stared at her phone's blank screen and felt a sharp, throbbing pain run through her body.

Important meeting - two words that shattered the thin veil of hope she had left.

The cold evening air bit at her cheeks and tears welled in her eyes.

When Andrew informed her earlier that he was running late for the dinner, Elena did not take it to heart.

Andrew's work always took precedence.

During their five years of relationship, she had always been accommodating and never been an unreasonable person.

But tonight was their anniversary, and she hoped that for once, he would put their love before his demanding career.

Alas...

Elena stubbornly waited for him even though she knew he wouldn't show up.

Because part of her still hoped he would not abandon her.

The minutes seemed to last forever.

Three hours had passed with no sign of Andrew.

After a while, the manager approached. "Are you okay, ma'am? You've been here for more than three hours. Do you want to order anything while you wait?" He inquired.

With a heavy heart, she finally accepted that Andrew would not show up and stood up to leave.

Andrew's absence deeply disappointed Elena.

She felt a sinking heaviness in her chest, and it hurt so much that it was suffocating.

As she left, the diners around her blurred into a mosaic of hazy faces.

The cold wind outside matched the chill in her heart as she walked outside the farmhouse restaurant.

Tonight, she had expected a night of fun and shared memories, but instead, she got this lonely walk of shame.

She turned her gaze to the empty streets in front of her.

The desolation mirrored the void Andrew's absence had created.

Only then did she realize that it was difficult to hail a cab in this remote place.

With a sigh, she returned to the entrance, her heels clicking on the cobbled path.

The receptionist at the entrance looked at her. "Is everything alright, ma'am?"

Elena shook her head, the lump in her throat making it difficult to speak. "My ride isn't here. Is it possible to hail a taxi or something?"

The receptionist gave her a sympathetic smile. "I'm afraid it's difficult to get a cab around here, especially at this hour. However, there is a bus stop down the street. You can take a bus from there."

Elena thanked her and left the restaurant.

The journey to the bus stop was a lonely one.

She wrapped her coat around herself, attempting to protect herself from both the cold night and the harsh reality of the evening.

The bus was due in fifteen minutes.

The vulnerability of being alone, abandoned on an unfamiliar road, felt like a lifeline.

The driver glanced at Elena disinterestedly as she stepped on board.

Boarding the bus felt like surrendering to the ordinary when her heart had craved the extraordinary.

The bus engine drove to its final destination, Oakwood.

Coincidentally, the place was where her best friend, Chloe, lived.

A sense of relief poured over her as she considered spending the night at her house.

After all the emotional turmoil, she wanted an escape from the storm that was threatening to engulf her.

Navigating her way, Elena finally reached the Oakwood Residence and took the elevator straight to the twenty-third floor.

Entering the password, the door creaked open.

Kicking off her heels, Elena settled on the couch.

Just as she relaxed, faint noises emerged from inside Chloe's bedroom.

A hint of embarrassment colored her cheeks. As an adult, she understood the nature of the sounds that came from inside.

Cursing inwardly, she contemplated whether to stay or leave.

"Andy..." The muffled groans grew louder, causing her to freeze in place.

Elena's mind was spinning and for a moment, she questioned whether she had misheard.

"F**k, Carl. Spread your legs a little wider." A rough male voice broke through the air, shattering any illusions of misunderstanding.

The words hung in the air, heavy with a familiarity that turned Elena's blood cold.

Her face drained of color as realization struck with full force.

Because the voice belonged to none other than her husband, Andrew!

[Author's note:

The Billionaire's Secret Desire is a beautiful blend of romance, drama, revenge, second chance, suspense, etc as the characters navigate various challenges in their lives.

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.

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.
