BLURB In a world where power, wealth and betrayal intertwine, Isabel reclaims her place among the elite after years of being hidden in the shadows. The very people who thought they'd rid themselves of Isabel, are in for the shock of their lives when she steps back into their world. Now, as the long-lost daughter of the prestigious Montgomery family, she's ready to face her enemies-starting with her ex-husband, Alexander. The man who discarded her after an affair with her best friend. As old wounds reopen and dangerous secrets come to light, the question remains-will Isabel's heart betray her thirst for vengeance? Or will she finally bring down those who sought to destroy her once and for all? The final act of this twisted game will be one no one sees coming.

Chapter 1 1 Feeling Unloved

Isabel's POV

"Change that dress, you look awful in it." Alexander said in a commanding tone.

The dress, a red revealing short gown, which hugged my curves, featuring a daring plunging neckline.

Glancing through myself and looking back at the mirror, I asked, "what's wrong with my dress, not like it's the first time am wearing it."

"I don't have to give you any explanation or talk further on this, just change it like I said!" He retorted.

His tone is cold, but still handsome as ever.

He stood at an imposing 6'3", his height adding to his commanding presence.

Alexander used to love me. I want to believe so.

He used to be a loving and doting husband. Even though there's a side of him that I'm yet to understand. He's sometimes aggressive, tends to be controlling and commanding.

I've tried to talk to him, but it always ends in arguments, never accepting the fact that he has an issue.

It has just been messy.

My once loving husband has turned to a stranger.

I couldn't even break the news of my pregnancy with him.

He's hardly ever around, barely shows interest or ever listens.

I don't even know who to confide in about what's going on.

His mom, Sabbrina, the bossy and authoritative Chairwoman of the King's Empire, makes matters worse.

She hates that an ordinary girl like me is married to her billionaire son.

Her son, Alexander King is the CEO and heir to the King's Empire. The billion dollar company that has their branch spread across Los Angeles.

It's crazy.

I sometimes ask myself, "Is he still the same man I fell in love with and married?"

"Am I living with an entirely different person?"

At times, I feel like I didn't know Alexander well enough to marry him.

Today, I can't seem to understand the display of attitude over my dress.

After several careful thoughts, I decided to ask, looking directly into his cute blue eyes. "Alexander, do you still love me? trying to find a console in his reply.

But was torn aback by his reply.

He glares at me for a moment longer, placing his hand at the back of his neck, as if trying to find a way out, before finally saying, "You don't need to ask me such a question." I have a meeting to attend to, I'm leaving.

Of course, as the CEO of a billion dollar company, he'd definitely choose that over me anytime!

He always chooses work over me, like I meant nothing to him.

The tension in the room is icy, and I don't know how long I would hold up before I break down.

And just like that, Alexander left, leaving me with my unanswered questions.

"Could it be that he's fed up, and he's already tired of me?" Tears rolls down my eyes uncontrollably.

I sit by the window, staring blankly at the rain-soaked cityscape. My eyes, feeling the weight of sadness and betrayal.

Every morning, I wake up hoping for a change, only to be met with the same icy demeanor.

For the past year of our marriage, my husband's possessiveness had grown stifling, his need to control every aspect of my life left me feeling trapped and suffocated.

The lack of love was palpable; his touch, once gentle and reassuring, now felt like a shackle.

My heart keeps aching for the man I had once known, for the love that had promised to stand the test of time. I felt invisible, my needs and desires are completely overshadowed by his incessant need for dominance. The home that once echoed with laughter and joy now felt like a prison, each room a silent witness to my despair.

I sometimes trace the lines of our wedding photo, lingering my fingers on our faces who now seem like strangers. I longed for the days when his love felt like a safe harbor, not the storm that it now is.

As the rain poured outside, it mirrored my tears which I no longer had the strength to cry, each drop could speak of my broken heart and our love that seemed irreparably lost.

I turned to my phone, wanting to dial my mother. But on a second thought, I wouldn't want to make her worry over this.

As an only child. My mother, Celyn, doesn't joke with me. She gets too worked up and worries a lot with anything concerning me. If I get her involved, she's ready to appear here immediately just to make sure I'm fine. I definitely will not want her worrying.

"I will just wait for Alexander to be home, just maybe he wasn't in a good mood then." I said aloud trying to mask my pain.

Suddenly my phone rings, breaking the silence. I glanced at my screen and saw Cynthia's name flashing on the screen.

Cynthia, my best friend, has been a part of me ever since knowing her from the university.

I literally share everything with her. Every of my sorrow, pain and joy.

But seeing her call come in at this time, I hesitated.

I have always been reluctant about sharing my marital issues with anyone, even with my closest friend.

Though, I recently told her about how Alexander has been acting up, but I still find it difficult opening up entirely.

I tilted my head, Thinking. "What would Cynthia think of me? What would she say? What will she think of Alexander?"

Again my phone rings for the second time.

Tried hesitating, but another part of me, desperately in need for some relief and understanding, made a quick think "maybe talking to Cynthia about it all would lighten the heavy burden I carry." Just maybe.

With a deep breath, I pick up the call. "Hey, Cynthia." My voice seeming low, like one trying to hide something.

"Hey, Bella! As she fondly calls me. How are you?

You don't sound like you. Is everything alright?"

Cynthia's cheerful voice brought a bittersweet smile to my face.

I hesitated for a moment, words catching in my throat.

But then, like a dam breaking, I poured it all out, letting the tears I have been holding back flow freely.

"Oh Bella, that's a lot, it's heartbreaking," she said, her tone laced with concern, but there's an edge there.

Keeping a moment of silence, Cynthia continued, her voice taking on a slightly different note. "Why not step out for some fresh air? It will help clear your mind, you know."

With my hands trembling, I quickly wiped my tears, trying to steady my thoughts and keep my emotions in check.

"I guess that might help." I replied giving Cynthia's suggestion a thought.

"Great!" Cynthia said with an overwhelming voice. "Why don't you come over to the hotel? It's lovely here, you will like the view. And we can get to talk more in person too. It's just exactly what you need right now."

I hesitated, feeling a strange mix of comfort and unease. "Are you sure? I don't want to inconvenience."

"Absolutely," Cynthia insisted. "I'm here for you, Bella. We'll take it up from there once we meet. It's going to do you good to get out and have a change of scenery."

With a deep sigh, I replied "alright, I'll be there soon." Feeling a flicker of hope and an excuse to relieve myself from some thoughts.

"Perfect," Cynthia replied, giving a sly chuckle. "See you soon, Bella."

Nicole had entered marriage with Walter, a man who never returned her feelings, bound to him through an arrangement made by their families rather than by choice. Even so, she had held onto the quiet belief that time might soften his heart and that one day he would learn to love her. However, that day never came. Instead, he treated her with constant contempt, tearing her down with cruel words and dismissing her as fat and manipulative whenever it suited him. After two years of a cold and distant marriage, Walter demanded a divorce, delivering his decision in the most degrading manner he could manage. Stripped of her dignity and exhausted by the humiliation, Nicole agreed to her friend Brenda's plan to make him see what he had lost. The idea was simple but daring. She would use another man to prove that the woman Walter had mocked and insulted could still be desired by someone else. All they had to do was hire a gigolo. Patrick had endured one romantic disappointment after another. Every woman he had been involved with had been drawn not to him, but to his wealth. As one of the heirs to a powerful and influential family, he had long accepted that this pattern was almost unavoidable. What Patrick wanted was far more difficult to find. He longed to fall in love with a woman who cared for him as a person, not for the name he carried or the fortune attached to it. One night, while he was at a bar, an attractive stranger approached him. Because of his appearance and composed demeanor, she mistook him for a gigolo. She made an unconventional proposal, one that immediately caught his interest and proved impossible for him to refuse.

I was three days away from marrying the Underboss of the Fazio crime family when I unlocked his burner phone. The screen glowed toxic bright in the dark next to my sleeping fiancé. A message from a contact saved as 'Little Trouble' read: "She is just a statue, Dante. Come back to bed." Attached was a photo of a woman lying in the sheets of his private office, wearing his shirt. My heart didn't break; it simply stopped. For eight years, I believed Dante was the hero who pulled me from a burning opera house. I played the perfect, loyal Mafia Princess for him. But heroes don't give their mistresses rare pink diamonds while giving their fiancées cubic zirconia replicas. He didn't just cheat. He humiliated me. He defended his mistress over his own soldiers in public. He even abandoned me on the side of the road on my birthday because she faked a pregnancy emergency. He thought I was weak. He thought I would accept the fake ring and the disrespect because I was just a political pawn. He was wrong. I didn't cry. Tears are for women who have options. I had a strategy. I walked into the bathroom and dialed a number I hadn't dared to call in a decade. "Speak," a voice like gravel growled on the other end. Lorenzo Moretti. The Capo of the rival family. The man my father called the Devil. "The wedding is off," I whispered, staring at my reflection. "I want an alliance with you, Enzo. And I want the Fazio family burned to the ground."

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.

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.
