Phoenix Rising: The Scarred Heiress's Revenge
I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband's aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason's coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason's mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I'm starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.Chapter 1
*Astrid Pov*
Around 6:00pm
I sat down in my bed operating my laptop searching for online jobs I could do when my mum shouted my name aggressively "Astrid!!" I could sense the anger in her voice, I stood up and went up to her in the parlour.....
She sat down operating her phone, feeling my presence she stood up and landed a hot slap on my face I touched my face i could feel the hotness inside me, tears feld my eyes as I pour them out..
"Mom, what have I done for you to hit me so hard?" i asked her softly...
"How dare you question me..should i remember you to wash my clothes, sweep the house, mop the floor and wash the dishes are you not matured enough to take care of the house" she shouted more at me and I cried the more..
"But mom, sophy(the only maid) is supposed to be the one doing the work they do pay her for it""
"Will you shut your trash before I hit you... So all you want to do is to eat and sleep and become lazy like an animal right"
But mom...
"You better go and do what I told you before I tear you down"
She hesitated and I ran to my room crying...
What kind of life is this, why do my parents treat me so horribly to the extent of even maltreating and beating me.... sometimes I feel like I was adopted by them... I left my room and went to the kitchen and found sophy cooking my favourite meal... I inhaled the sweet smell thinking it will make me feel okay but I still feel depressed
"Ma, are you feeling alright"
"Yes, i am don't mind my moody face, please where are all the dirty dishes"I asked her looking for the dishes to wash....
"Oh! I already wash them no need to worry and I already help you with every other work your mom gave you"
"Thank you so much sophy"
"You are welcome Ma Astrid, I heard your mom shouting at you, hope there is nothing wrong" she asked looking worried
"No, it's nothing, and thanks again" she beamed a smile at me
Sophy is the only one I could call my friend in the whole town.... everybody dislikes me saying that am a bad luck to them which I don't get... I really love sophy as my own sister and I wish she was...
"So what are you cooking" she smiled
"Your favourite of cause.. rice and peperone spices with your favourite soup"
"Awwn.. Thank you sophy, you really made my day, so how can I help"
She taught me how to cook right from when she started working in my home or let me say my dad's home...
"No need I can handle this on my own"
"Come on, I want to help ...please"
"Okay fine, you can help me with the carrots" I took some carrots and started slicing it...
*Olly Pov*
"Lillie, please don't leave me again"
"Don't worry olly, I will come back for you, just be patience"
"Patience? I have waited enough, I really need you by my side now"
