"Sign the papers, Celeste." I wiped the blood from my nose, my hands trembling as I handed my husband the contract I had worked tirelessly to finalize for him. But instead of gratitude, he shoved divorce papers in my face. And beside him, smirking in triumph, was the woman he had replaced me with-the daughter of his boss. Five years of sacrifice, of love, of loyalty... all reduced to nothing. Ethan Carter had used me, discarded me, and now he was climbing higher on the back of another woman. I thought that was the end of my story. Until he appeared. Damien Sinclair-the youngest billionaire in the country, ruthless in business, feared by his enemies, and a man who never gave without taking something in return. And he wanted me. Overnight, I went from the forgotten ex-wife to the envy of high society, the woman draped in luxury, held in the arms of a man who commanded the world. But Damien's interest in me wasn't coincidence. He knew my past. He knew my pain. And when he whispered my childhood nickname in his sleep, I realized... he knew me. Now, I must uncover the truth before I lose myself in the passion, the power, and the dangerous game I never saw coming. Because in Damien's world, love is just another negotiation-and I might be the one paying the ultimate price.

RUTHLESS VOWS: THE BILLIONAIRE REVENGE Chapter 1 THE SHATTERED VOW

Celeste pov

"Your blood's staining the contract, Celeste."

I didn't even feel the cut until he said it.

There was too much adrenaline. Too much pressure on me. Blood filled my mouth as I smiled through the pain, pretending the betrayal of my own body wasn't happening-just like I pretended the betrayal of the man I loved hadn't already begun.

I slid the folder across the glass conference table, with my fingers slick with blood. Six months of hell, twelve backstabbed competitors, and one million sleepless nights was now wrapped in a pitch-perfect proposal that would expand Carter Global into Europe.

My voice cracked as I whispered, "We did it."

But Ethan didn't look at the folder.

Instead, he flipped open the leather case in front of him and slid a crisp toward me, it was a cold stack of legal documents my way.

The gold-embossed title burned like acid in my brain as I read through it:

Petition for Divorce.

I blinked repeatedly. The lights were blurring my sight. Maybe it was the concussion. Maybe it was a heartbreak.

"What...what is this?" I staggered.

Ethan leaned back in his chair, his face a mask of marble looking so calm, so practiced, like he'd rehearsed this. "It's over, Celeste. Sign it."

I turned my head slowly-and there she was.

Brielle Langford. Her chanel-red lips. Crossed legs. Diamond-cut smirk.

She is the daughter of Gregory Langford, CEO of Langford & Holt-the conglomerate Ethan had been trying to merge with for two years.

Brielle used to spill champagne on me at galas and call it a "poor girl accident." Now she was seated at my conference table like she owned the empire I built.

"You're marrying her?" I asked, the taste of blood rising again. I didn't want to believe it. I just wanted to confirm that my instinct was right.

Brielle held up her left hand-three carats of cruelty sparkled on her finger. "Already engaged. Didn't you hear?"

I looked down at the contract I had nearly died putting together. The same contract that would have made Carter Global untouchable.

My jaw trembled as I tried speaking. "This deal would've changed your life."

Ethan stood up, fastening his Armani jacket like the conversation bored him.

"It has changed my life," he said. "Thanks to you, I finally had the leverage to close the Langford merger. Your job's done."

He turned his back to me.

"You were just...a convenient stepping stone, Celeste." he snapped. My eyes couldn't get off his hand wrapping around that bitch as he walked out of the door.

The door opened behind me.

Two men in dark suits stepped in-security.

"Miss Alvarez," one said, not meeting my eyes. "You'll need to come with us."

I froze, trying to catch up with what was happening. "You're firing me?"

"It's standard protocol,and it needs to be followed," Ethan said, not bothering to look at me. "You no longer represent Carter Global."

"You're erasing me?" I asked him in disbelief. My lips were trembling as I shook my head not wanting to believe it but it was happening already.

His hand reached for the folder I gave him.

Then-rrrr iiii pp.

He slid my contract into the shredder, slow and deliberate. I watched the paper fly around the room and slowly each piece of it dropped on the cold floor.

Strip by strip.

Word by word.

He destroyed me.

Flashback:

I remembered staying up with him during those all-nighters, drawing up strategy while hiding my miscarriage pain. I remembered selling my artwork to fund his launch because I loved him. I remembered watching my parents die in a car crash the night before our first pitch meeting-and still showing up to present with tear-stained cheeks and a borrowed blazer.

He didn't remember.

He didn't care.

He never cared.

The miscarriage was all his fault yet it doesn't matter to him.

Slowly I moved my frozen feet out of the office, I was dumbfounded. Lost. And trying to get myself to understand what was happening.

The cold outside was unbearable as it poured down on me restlessly.

The thought I was going to die flashed through me, folding my hand around my chest.

Rain poured like punishment from above but it also helped in covering my tears.

Each step I took away from the office made my heart swallow. I couldn't believe Ethan would throw away 5 years of our togetherness.

The hardship, the pain and all the restless nightmares just because of Brielle langford.

"Celeste! Is it true Ethan dumped you for the heiress?" a voice cut me off from my thoughts.

Immediately I turned to see who it could be when the next word lashed through me.

"Did he leave because you couldn't give him a child?"

"Are you bitter that the woman who spilled champagne on you now wears your ring?"

Flashes. Shouts. Some people spit. I could hear the laughter.

I couldn't take it any longer. I couldn't stand to answer those questions.

My heels cracked on the marble like gunshots. I ran.

An email hit my phone as I stumbled into the street. I was off from the reporter's sight.

Relieved flashed through me.

Piercing my eyes on the phone, my heart skipped as I stared at the message.

CONFIDENTIAL: Carter Global x Langford PR Launch – Narrative Strategy

"Frame Celeste as unstable. Emphasize infertility rumors. Use Brielle's media leverage for emotional optics."

It was from Ethan's publicist.

He planned this. Every headline. Every question. Every fucking camera angle.

I collapsed onto a bench as the storm soaked me to the bone. I couldn't believe Ethan was doing this to me.

Mascara bled down my cheeks like war paint, and my chest was bleeding uncontrollable. I stared at my trembling hands, unsure what was mine anymore.

Job: Gone.

Marriage: Gone.

Name: About to be shredded like the contract.

Then, my phone buzzed, I hesitated for a while but summoned the courage to pick it up.

Unknown number?

One message dropped.

"You're not the only one he ruined. Let's burn him to the ground-together."

I stared at the message as headlights as it cut through the storm.

A black car pulled up to the curb. Back window rolled down.

Inside sat a woman in a red coat with a scar on her face.

The car was opened and he!

The last person I intended to see walked down the car.

Damien Sinclair!

What is he doing here!

" What if I picked you and gave you all you wanted?" His words dropped like bombshells in my ears.

I turned slowly , my gaze meeting him and for a while I stared at him.

His expression was unreadable and for a second I wondered what he wanted.

To humiliate me. To cause me more pain. To remind me I was foolishly in love with someone who doesn't care. Or to make a mockery of me.

Whatever was his plan, I wasn't going to fall for it.

"I never asked for your favour so can you leave? " I tried saying , my voice shaking and my fingers trembling.

I was holding back the tears which were almost circulating across my eyes and would drop soon. He must see the tears.

"I am here to change you, this opportunity is rare so it is left for you to decide" he paused.

I stood up slowly where I sat, the cold air flashed through my face.

I smirked and made to speak but he cut me short.

"If you want a perfect revenge, follow me"..

He walked down to his car, leaving me standing and my eyes fixed at every movement he took.

What is he up to and how did he know I needed revenge?

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."
