The Ghost Wife's Billion Dollar Tech Comeback
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.It was a pleasant sunny day when the guards opened the giant black metal gates of the Knight Mansion and a speeding Red Audi R8 limited edition sports car slid into the driveway.
Christian Knight stepped out of his car in a charcoal grey suit, seething in rage, and slammed the door of the car shut with a rude bang. He strode towards the gorgeous Italian-styled Knight Mansion crossing the expanded water fountain.
The house helper opened the magnificent mahogany door and respectfully greeted him, but Christian ignored it. “Where is Grandpa?” He asked, his nostrils flaming in anger.
“Sir, they are in the living area.” The house helper answered meekly and Christian turned on his heels, taking long strides sauntering towards the living area, where he saw his father Luke Knight and grandfather Leo Knight sitting together enjoying coffee and chatting about some forthcoming projects.
Christian charged toward them with blazing eyes. “Grandpa, how can you do this to me?” He thundered, glaring at him. “How can you take such an important decision of my life without asking me?” He raised his voice and his eyes shifted to his father, Luke.
“Dad, at least you say something to him!! Why does he want me to get married? And that too with an Indian girl?? Indian!!” Christian said in a high pitch, raving in anger, and glared at his grandfather. “Grandpa, I think you skipped, but I am already in a relationship with Lia. I introduced you to her a few weeks ago.”
“Son, let me get straight to the point. If you want to take over the position of CEO in Knight Group, then you must marry the girl I have chosen for you. Accept it or leave it. The decision is yours.” Leo responded calmly, with a small smile playing on his lips. “I can give the CEO’s position to your cousin, Jake. He is ready for it!” Leo stated while taking a sip of his coffee.
“Even I am ready to take the position, Grandpa, but you are imposing superfluous conditions here and I can’t fulfil them. I am already in a relationship with Lia. I love her, damn it!!” Christian almost shrieked while adding the last part.
“Chris, calm down!” Luke glared at him, but Christian was on a rampage.
“Why doesn’t he understand? I love my company. I have worked my ass off! Why is he mixing my professional and personal life?” Christian shrieked, but Leo was as calm as the sea, listening to him, taking a sip of his coffee occasionally.
“Listen, Grandpa, if I have to choose between Lia and the company. Lia will be the one I choose. I know I am qualified enough to build my own Empire and I don’t need the Knight group to prove my worth. I will gladly leave everything behind for her.” He made his last statement.
"Son, you don’t love her. She has just made you feel like you love her, but that’s not true. Come out of your Lala land. She is trying to fool you! Lia is not the right one. She is just after your money, like your other ex-girlfriends.” Leo clearly stated his feelings.
He continued, “The girl I have chosen for you is perfect. She is beautiful, simple, smart, intelligent, and she has all those excellences a guy wishes to have in his wife. You are going to marry her and that’s final.” Leo stood up to leave.
"Fine, if that’s your final decision, I am giving up this business and this house for Lia. I don’t need this company or Knight’s legacy to establish myself. I can achieve everything on my own, and yeah, that Indian bitch, get her married to your loving Jake because I’m not going to marry her in this life.” Christian roared.
Leo turned and smiled at Christian. “Jake already wants to marry her, but I have chosen her for you. Anyway, when you have decided to leave, then who the hell am I to impede? God bless you, son. I wish you and Lia to always be happy together.” Leo blessed the eternal soulmates, taking a glance at his wristwatch.
“You have exactly two hours from now. Pack your bags and leave this house, but remember, you can take only your clothes with you and nothing else. Goodbye son.” Leo said, waving his hand and left.
“Dad, what are you saying?” Luke, Christian’s father, followed Leo out to stop him while Christian stood there, dumbfounded, looking at his grandfather’s disappearing figure. He couldn’t figure out what was happening to him all of a sudden.
Grandpa, who always loved and cherished him, left him today for a girl that he recently met during his visit to India.
Seething in anger, Christian turned and smashed all the bottles on the bar counter, cussing out the girl who has destroyed all his dreams and left the Knight Mansion to be with Lia

MY INDIAN WIFE
Never in her wildest dreams did Mishka imagine that her life would be turned upside down as soon as she stepped into London. "Marry my grandson!" Grandpa Leo's demand threw her off guard. Marriage was not part of her plans, yet she accepted the proposal to marry the most eligible bachelor in London, leaving her dreams behind. Christian had everything planned out in advance. He intended to propose to his girlfriend right after securing the position of CEO at the Knight Group, but a woman derailed all his plans. "If you want to become the CEO of Knight Group, you must marry the girl I have chosen for you!" Grandpa Leo's firm decision put Christian's future at risk, but he quickly devised a plan. "Sign these papers!" Christian demanded in a deep, authoritative tone, extending the file towards Mishka. "What is this?" She narrowed her eyes, taking the file. "Read and I'll explain everything," Christian answered. His cold eyes stared at her, and as soon as Mishka opened the file, her face lost all colour reading the bold letters. "CONTRACT MARRIAGE" Will she give into Christian's demand, or will her masterstroke change the dynamics of the trap he set for her? What will happen when Christian and Mishka's entirely different worlds crash? Will love find its way through the web of lies, deception and mysteries? Let's find out in the story!
