The Jilted Ex-Wife Is A Zillionaire
Isabel returned to her penthouse after a grueling seventeen-hour flight, only to be greeted by the cloying scent of another woman's perfume. Her husband of three years, Darius, sat waiting with divorce papers. He wanted to marry his mistress, Dove, and offered Isabel a measly one million dollars, treating her like a greedy charity case from the Rust Belt who should just take the payout and vanish. But Isabel didn't want his pity. She demanded the four percent equity stake in his family's company that she rightfully owned—a stake worth 1.5 billion dollars. When she revealed this, the wealthy family turned vicious. They refused to acknowledge that she had secretly saved their empire from bankruptcy years ago. Instead, Darius and Dove orchestrated a brutal public execution. They ambushed her at a top law firm, spreading malicious lies that her investment money was stolen from a Ponzi scheme. They even hired a fake victim to scream at her in the lobby, successfully terrifying Isabel's lawyer into dropping her case on the spot. She had quietly rescued their entire legacy, yet they were willing to frame her as a criminal and destroy her life just to keep her rightful billions. As Darius and his mistress gloated over her absolute ruin, the most ruthless and feared lawyer in New York suddenly stepped in front of Isabel, his voice cutting through the dead silence. "Your case, I'll take it."The wrought-iron gates of the Knight Estate swung open, and a scarlet Audi R8, limited edition, swept smoothly along the gravelled drive.
Christian Knight stepped out, immaculate in a tailored charcoal-grey suit.
He shut the car door with controlled force and adjusted his cufflinks, though the tightness in his jaw betrayed his agitation.
Without acknowledging the staff, he strode across the courtyard, past the tiered marble fountain, and towards the grand Italianate façade of the house.
The house steward opened the heavy mahogany door at once.
“Good afternoon, sir.”
“Where is my grandfather?” Christian asked curtly.
“In the drawing room, sir. With Mr. Luke.”
Christian gave a brief nod and proceeded down the corridor.
In the drawing room, Leonard Knight sat opposite his son, Luke, both men sipping espresso and discussing forthcoming acquisitions. The air was calm—almost deliberately so.
Christian entered without ceremony.
“Grandpa, may I ask why I have just learned of an engagement I never agreed to?”
Luke’s head lifted sharply. Leonard, however, merely placed his cup upon its saucer.
“I assumed you would appreciate decisiveness,” he replied mildly.
“Decisiveness?” Christian let out a humourless laugh. “You have arranged my marriage without so much as consulting me.”
His gaze flickered towards his father.
“Surely this concerns my life as much as the company’s.”
Luke shifted uncomfortably but remained silent.
Leonard regarded his grandson steadily.
“If you intend to take the position of CEO of Knight Group, you will marry the young lady I have selected. If you do not, the position shall pass to Jake. He has expressed both readiness and enthusiasm.”
Christian’s composure fractured.
“I have devoted years to getting that role,” he said tightly. “You cannot attach marriage as a condition of employment.”
“I can,” Leonard replied evenly. “And I have.”
Christian exhaled sharply. “I am already in a relationship. You met Lia yourself.”
“I did,” Leonard said. “And I was not impressed.”
A brief silence settled over the room.
“The woman I have chosen for you,” Leo continued, “is accomplished, well-educated, and from a respectable family. She possesses qualities that endure beyond charm and flattery.”
Christian’s voice hardened. “And if I refuse?”
Leonard folded his hands. “Then you forfeit the company, the estate, and any claim to the Knight legacy. You will have two hours to gather your personal belongings. Nothing more.”
Luke rose from his seat. “Father—”
“The decision is made,” Leonard said calmly.
Christian stared at his grandfather, disbelief giving way to wounded pride.
“So that is it? Years of hard work reduced to a transaction.”
“No,” Leonard corrected. “Years of preparation culminating in responsibility.”
Christian straightened.

"Why? I know it's not that you actually care about me. Then why? Tell me." I demanded looking down. "Be MINE, Caroline" he said. I always loved the way my name rolled on his tongue.
