Divorced & Priceless: The Ex-Husband's Regret

“For three years, Elena played the role of the perfect, submissive wife to billionaire Damian Blackwood. She endured his cold indifference, his mother's cruel insults, and his endless comparisons to his first love. She gave up her identity, her wealth, and her pride to love him, believing that one day he would see her true worth. She was wrong. On the night of their third wedding anniversary, Damian throws a set of divorce papers in her face. With his ex-fiancée, Vivian, clinging to his arm, Damian sneers that Elena is a "barren, worthless peasant" and that Vivian is carrying the heir to the Blackwood empire. Elena doesn't cry. She doesn't beg. She signs the papers, throws a glass of red wine in Vivian's face, and walks out of the mansion with a chilling warning: "I hope you don't live to regret this, Damian." Three years later, Damian's company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Desperate to save his legacy, he attends an exclusive charity gala to beg the mysterious, untouchable billionaire CEO of Aethelgard Inc. to buy his debt. When the doors open, the woman who walks in-flanked by bodyguards and wearing a million-dollar gown-makes his blood run cold. It's Elena. The woman he threw away isn't just a billionaire heiress; she is the one holding the executioner's axe over his family's name. But the real shock comes when Damian notices the beautiful toddler hiding behind her legs. The little boy has Damian's exact eyes, his exact birthmark. Before Damian can process the betrayal, Elena's handsome right-hand man, Julian, steps forward. He picks up the child, who wraps his arms around Julian's neck and happily calls him, "Daddy." Elena doesn't even look at Damian. She hands her coat to a waiter and looks out at the crowd. "Let the auction begin," she says coldly. "And let's start the bidding with Blackwood Corp. Do I hear one dollar?"”
