Divorced by Mistake: She Came Back Cold and Rich

Divorced by Mistake: She Came Back Cold and Rich

He married the wrong woman… and broke the right one. Now she’s back, with the power to ruin him… or make him beg. Seven years ago, Emily Truce dragged a boy out of a burning wreck, then vanished before he ever even saw her face. By morning, her twin sister had stolen the credit… and the life that came with it. Now that boy is Carl Ben, a billionaire bound to marry the woman he believes saved him. But when a crushing family debt forces a last-minute switch, the bride at the altar isn’t Lydia, it’s Emily. The wrong bride. The unwanted wife. From the moment they marry, Carl makes his feelings clear. Cold. Distant. Cruel. He gives his loyalty to a lie and his attention to another woman while Emily fades into a life where she is seen, but never chosen. Until the night everything breaks, she discovers Carl's preference for his matrimonial bed is her twin sister and never her and he confirms it to her face while she laughs at Emily with him buried inside her. That night, she stops hoping… and finally walks away. She signs the divorce papers he has long awaited, secretly pregnant and disappears without a trace. Emily Truce returns no longer invisible, but powerful, remarried in an arrangement to a marriage she once ran from, to a billionaire who worships her. “You're mine, Emily, let the world burn if it dares touch you, you’ll breathe my love like oxygen for a lifetime" Nicole Ashfort vows. Now Carl Ben is begging, finally seeing the truth: she was the one who saved him. But Emily didn’t come back for love. She came for revenge, Ice-Cold, rich and brutal. And this time, she decides who stays and who she ruins.

Chapter: When the Past Comes Begging
The air was thick in the hospital, the doctors hurried over, nurses and gurneys. The sterile smell of antiseptic and fear.Emily was pushed aside as they wheeled Nicole into the emergency room. Her eyes followed his body until it disappeared behind the doors that swung shot, and she was left alone in the waiting area, her hands still shaking, her heart still pounding.She didn't know how long she sat there. But they had become so cold, more bumps rose on skin unapologetically despite the heater at the end of the wall.She checked her wrist watch every now and then minutes turned into hours and hours, an eternity.Then a doctor emerged quite long enough, tired, bloodied gloves, but he was calm and it gave her hope."Ms. Dally?" He called attentively.Emily stood, her knees barely holding her. "How is he? Is he…""Quite stable." The doctor's voice was gentle. "Luckily, the bullet struck his right side. It missed all vital organs. We've removed it and repaired the damage. He's weak, and

Chapter: They Launched Another Attack
The world had become a blur of chaos and trauma in just a few minutes. Emily's hands were still pressed against Nicole's wound, blood seeping through her fingers, her mind screaming at her to do something, anything while her body remained frozen in terror. The gunman remained, not moving an inch forward, she could hear voices downstairs. More of them were coming closer coming closer. Pointing the gun at Emily he gestured to her to move aside or he would finish off what he started. Emily obeyed, moving to the side, shaking as she did. He grabbed his phone from his pocket. “Yes, we have target one. Target two is not in perimeter, repeat target two is not in perimeter” his voice echoed over the phone. Fresh tears gushed down Emily's eyes, the lovely evening table remained a disaster. A circular pool of blood formed slowly underneath Nicole’s now unconscious body. Emily shuddered quietly at a corner wondering what they wanted. Why were they here? How did they get in? Who w

Chapter: They'll Never Stop
“What and who are you?” She asked observing that the caller had a private ID.“Is this Callie?” “No! It's not!” Emily almost yelled.“Sorry, wrong number, I’m really sorry, whoever this is. It's a prank call for someone else, sorry once again” replied the caller.“Yeah, how about you silly kids be a bit more careful about the number you dial next time!” Emily rasped with annoyance before ending the call rapidly. And heaving a sigh of relief.Emily closed her laptop and leaned back in her chair, rubbing her temples.The house was warm. The soft glow of the kitchen light spilled into the dining room, where Nicole had arranged a simple but elegant dinner. Candles, roses and wine. The scent of grilled fish and roasted vegetables filled the air.“Who’s that?” Asked Nicole“Some silly highschool kids trying to prank call one of their friends” Emily sighed.Nicole chuckled lightly."You finally finished?" he asked, a gentle smile on his face.Emily swallowed "I'm sorry. I didn't realize it

Chapter: THE EVENING MEETING
The house was quiet. Emily sat in her home office, the soft glow of her laptop screen illuminating her face against the deepening evening. Outside, the last traces of sunset bled orange and purple across the sky, slowly surrendering to the encroaching dark.She had been staring at the same document for twenty minutes without reading a single word. She sighed in realization, thumb rubbing her forehead in gentle hopelessness.The crisis surrounding her pharmaceutical company consumed every corner of her mind. The poisoned products. The ruined reputation. The lawsuits. The investors, fleeing like rats from a sinking ship. Every product leaving her company was thoroughly inspected, she had personally verified the protocols, the sterilization processes, the quality checks.And yet, somehow, poisoned products bearing her company's name had reached the public. Not to mention Leslie's sudden kidnap and release, Carl, her worst enemy, the ex that almost ruined her life, walking right back into

Chapter: The Truth Unveils
The living room was a battlefield of torn paper and shattered silence. Emilia stood in the center of it, her chest heaving, her eyes wild with a fury that had nowhere left to go. The remains of the DNA report—the report she had ripped from Carl's hands moments ago—lay scattered across the floor like confetti at a funeral. Carl stared at her. His voice was calm. That was what made it terrifying. "How could you?" he asked quietly. "How could you destroy something so important?" Emilia laughed—a sharp, brittle sound. "Important? You mean that pathetic little investigation? You think I don't know what you've been doing, Carl? Sneaking around. Asking questions. Digging into things that don't concern you." "It concerns me." "Nothing concerns you anymore!" She stepped closer, her finger jabbing toward his chest. "You lost everything. Your company. Your money. Your dignity. And now you're trying to claw your way back by crawling to Emily like a lost puppy?" Carl's jaw tightened. "This
