Chapter: Chapter 44: I love you A few months passed after that.It had been heartbreaking for Maya but she forced herself to move on. She reminded herself again and again that she wasn’t a child anymore. She didn’t need answers that came too late. What she needed, she already had. Ethan. He took care of her in ways she didn’t even know she needed. He bought her gifts just to see her smile. He stayed with her when she cried, letting her wipe her tears and sometimes her snot on his expensive shirts without complaint. He held her through the nightmares, rubbed her back when she felt sick, and reminded her every single day that she wasn’t alone. He was her backbone. Her safe place.And much faster than she expected, she began to heal.Today, Ethan had gone to work.She didn’t know if it was the pregnancy mood swings or if she had simply grown too attached to her husband, but the moment he left, an emptiness settled in her chest. She felt restless. All she wanted was for him to be beside her, cuddling her in bed, patti

Chapter: Chapter 43: Rightful Heiress Rosaline swallowed hard, her voice trembling as she continued.“Yes… Mrs. Sterling is your mother,” she said.Maya shook her head violently, tears blurring her vision. “How?” she asked, her voice breaking. “How is that even possible?”Rosaline took a shaky breath. “Listen, Maya. Mrs. Sterling and I were best friends when we were young. We were inseparable. We struggled together, laughed together, dreamed together.” She laughed bitterly. “But then everything changed.”Everyone in the room was silent.“Mr. Sterling fell in love with her,” Rosaline continued. “He was rich, well-connected, powerful. Overnight, her life changed. She wore fine clothes, expensive shoes, lived in comfort. And I…” Her voice cracked. “I was still struggling with a leaking roof, empty cupboards. Nothing.”Maya felt Ethan’s hand tighten around hers.“I became jealous,” Rosaline whispered. “Jealous to the point that it poisoned me. Then… I got pregnant. I don’t even know who the father was. And fate made it worse.

Chapter: Chapter 42: In an instant Ethan was beyond shocked as he just stared at Maya’s face. The artist he had spent years admiring was no other than his wife. His mouth opened, but no words came out. He was beyond speechless. He was… stupefied.“Maya?” he finally whispered. “How?”Maya walked closer to him. “Well… it’s me. I’m M-Talento.”Ethan eased himself into a chair, still staring at her like she wasn't real. “How? Why didn’t you tell me? And why did you always cover your face?”Maya stepped closer. “Let me explain.”Ethan ran a hand through his hair. He didn’t know what to feel, whether to be upset that his wife had kept something so huge from him when she knew how much he admired M-Talento, or to simply stand in awe of how incredibly talented she was.“Maya, I don’t understand,” he said quietly. “What I know is that you grew up as a simple girl in the countryside. How are you a world-renowned artist who has earned billions?”Maya took a breath. “I was trained by an artist when I was fourteen. He taught me ever

Chapter: Chapter 41: M-Talento Screams filled the ballroom.People stood frozen in shock, hearts racing, eyes wide as they stared at Ethan who was standing on his feet, holding Maya tightly in his arms. Glass and crystal littered the floor around them.Xander, who had been standing nearby, ran a hand over his forehead, completely thrown off by the sequence of events.Silence fell for a brief second before a woman finally found her voice.“Mr. Ashford… you can walk?”Another man stepped forward, disbelief evident on his face. “You can walk? We're you just able to do it now, because of adrenaline?”Murmurs spread rapidly. “He can actually walk.” “I thought he was crippled.” “Was he pretending all along?”Phones were raised as people began to take pictures.Ethan’s jaw clenched. “Enough!” he yelled. “This is not about whether I can walk or not.”He tightened his hold on Maya, feeling how fast her heart was beating, and her fingers clutched at his neck.“I need an explanation,” he continued coldly, his eyes scanning th

Chapter: Chapter 40: 6th year anniversary It was the day of Ethan's company's 6th year anniversary, and a party was being held at a 5-star hotel, just for it. Sophia finished the last touches on Maya’s hair, stepping back to admire her work. Maya looked at her reflection again, she looked really pretty. She placed a hand lightly to her stomach, feeling nervous.“You’ll be fine,” Sophia said gently. “Mr. Ashford…” she smiled knowingly, “he won’t take his eyes off you.”Maya let out a small laugh, nodding. “I just hope everything goes smoothly.”“It will,” Sophia assured her.Meanwhile, still in the mansion, Nelly paced the bedroom. Her fingers were clenched at her sides.“Mom, is everything set?” she asked again.“Yes,” Mrs. Sterling replied calmly, lifting her glass and taking a slow sip. “I just spoke with him. He’s getting it done.”Nelly’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. “Good. Tonight has to be perfect.”Mrs. Sterling glanced at her daughter. “Remember, patience. Things like this unfold best when no one sees them com

Chapter: Chapter 39: A new beginning “Maya… Maya…” Ethan murmured, panic rising in his chest as he held her in his arms and gently laid her down on the bed. Her eyelids fluttered, half-conscious, her belly heaving slightly as she struggled to open her eyes.“Hey… what’s wrong?” he asked, voice filled with worry.“I… I just feel… dizzy,” she whispered, her voice barely audible.“Are you okay? Wait, I’ll call the doctor right now,” Ethan said, fumbling for his phone.“Ethan…” Maya’s voice was so weak it barely came out.Ethan rushed, his heart hammering. He lifted the phone, his fingers trembling slightly. “Hello? Yes… yes, I want you here right now. Right now.” He ended the call and raced back to her side. “The doctor is on the way, okay? You’re going to be fine.”“I… I feel better now…” Maya murmured, her eyes half-closed.“No!” Ethan exclaimed. “You literally almost fainted. You were dizzy! The doctor has to come and check on you.”Maya didn’t argue. She barely had the strength, her body too weak to resist. Ethan stayed

Falling For My Ex-husband's Trillionaire Brother
Before Skylar could even tell her husband she was pregnant, her marriage ended in betrayal.
In one night, she lost everything she thought she had. A husband, a family, and the fragile future she was holding onto. Skylar Blackwood had once believed sacrifice was love. To save her father from prison, she agreed to marry into the powerful Blackwood family, giving up her final year of college and reshaping her entire life around a man who never truly loved her.
Instead, she was discarded, humiliated, and broken in the very moment she needed him most.
Then came the man she was never meant to meet.
A ruthless billionaire known as the black sheep of the Blackwood family. He was feared, untouchable, and far more dangerous than the man she once called husband. He does not believe in mercy, nor in saving people. Yet somehow, Skylar becomes an exception he cannot ignore.
And just when Skylar thinks she has finally escaped her past, her ex-husband returns, this time with regret in his eyes and greed behind his intentions, as he realizes the woman he discarded now belongs to a world he can never afford.
Because her new husband doesn’t just protect her.
He owns empires, controls wealth beyond imagination and gives her everything the man who once humiliated her could never reach.
When betrayal burns everything to the ground, a dangerous obsession rises from the ashes, and two powerful brothers collide over a woman who refuses to be broken again.

Chapter: Chapter 8:Skylar I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole.My face burned with embarrassment as I stared at the tiny stain on the corner of the page."I..." The words died in my throat.Sebastian looked at the contract for another second before closing the folder."I'll have another copy printed."His face remained as unreadable as ever, as though nothing had happened.For some reason, that only made me feel worse.He looked at me again. "We leave in two hours. You should freshen up."He had already started turning away when his words finally registered."Two hours?" I blurted, scrambling off the bed. "I thought I had at least a few more hours."He paused at the door and glanced back over his shoulder. "No. The earlier, the better."Then he glanced at his watch. "And I don't like being late."Without another word, he walked out.The door clicked shut behind him. I stood there for another moment, trying to convince myself this was really happening.Then I made my way to the bathroom.

Chapter: Chapter 7:Skylar I walked beside Sebastian in silence, trying my best to match his long strides. The moment we stepped through the front doors, everything changed. Every servant inside immediately stopped what they were doing and bowed in unison. "Welcome home, Master." I blinked. Not a single person dared to lift their head until Sebastian had walked past. The entire mansion fell into complete silence. No one whispered. No one looked directly at him unless he acknowledged them first. For some reason, I found myself straightening my back too, intimidated by the cold authority that seemed to surround him. A young girl approached us with calm steps. She wore a neat black uniform, and her brown hair was tied into a neat bun. She stopped before Sebastian and bowed. "Welcome home, Master." Sebastian gave a small nod. "Louisa." "Yes, Master?" she answered respectfully. "Gather everyone." She curtsied slightly. "Immediately, Master." Without another word, she turned and began issuing q

Chapter: Chapter 6:Skylar The corner of his mouth lifted slightly.“Careful, Skylar, you just agreed without knowing what you’re really signing up for.”He held my gaze for another long second, then straightened his suit jacket.“A member of the staff will be here shortly to prepare you.”I frowned. “P-prepare me?”He was already walking toward the door. “You'll understand soon enough.”Before I could stop him or demand an explanation, the door clicked shut behind him.Silence swallowed the room. I stared at the closed door, half expecting him to come back and admit this had all been some elaborate joke.But he didn’t.I let out a slow, shaky breath and rubbed my temples, trying to ease the pounding in my head.Barely a minute later, three soft knocks sounded against the door.“Come in,” I called, my voice hesitant.The door opened to reveal a young woman who looked to be in her early twenties. She wore a neatly pressed black uniform with crisp white accents, her dark hair pulled into a sleek ponytail.

Chapter: Chapter 5:Skylar I stared at the man standing at the foot of the bed. Everything about him screamed danger. Expensive danger. There was something about the way he filled the space that made the room feel smaller than it actually was. He was a Blackwood. The realization sent a fresh wave of ice through my veins. Yet something about him felt different from the ones I had known. He seemed colder, far more dangerous. “You crashed into my car,” he said, his deep voice sweeping through the quiet room. My throat tightened. “It was an accident. I’m sorry, I—” “Accidents still carry a price.” His dark eyes held mine without mercy. “Twenty-five thousand dollars.” The number hit me like a punch to the gut. I had nothing left. No savings, no home, no future. Alex had made sure of that, stripping me bare before tossing me aside like yesterday’s trash. “I-I don’t have that kind of money,” I whispered, my voice barely staying steady. He didn’t look surprised. He leaned closer, his presence filling th

Chapter: Chapter 4:Skylar When my eyes fluttered open again, I let out a soft groan. I blinked slowly, trying to adjust to the dim lighting. The first thing I noticed was how unnaturally quiet the room was. No beeping machines, no rushed footsteps echoing down hallways, no sterile hospital smell. Instead, a rich and expensive scent lingered heavily in the air, polished wood mixed with something faintly cold and masculine, like expensive cologne layered over rain. My brows pulled together in confusion. This wasn’t the hospital. But it wasn’t my home either. I swallowed hard and forced myself to sit up slightly. That was when I realized I was wearing a soft silk robe that definitely wasn’t mine. My eyes widened. I looked around the room properly now. It was huge, luxurious in a way that felt almost suffocating. Soft lighting, dark elegant furniture, thick clean sheets that probably cost more than everything I owned. My heart started beating faster. Where was I? Just then, the door clicked open w

Chapter: Chapter 3: Skylar The lights were too bright. I squeezed my eyes shut the moment I opened them, but the sterile white glow burned through my eyelids anyway. A dull, steady ache pulsed behind my forehead. The sharp scent of antiseptic filled my nose with every breath. Hospital. The realization came slowly, like my mind was moving through thick fog. I tried to sit up, but the room tilted violently. A soft groan slipped from my lips. “Don’t move too quickly,” a gentle voice said. A nurse stood beside the bed, her expression careful and kind. An IV line tugged at the back of my hand. “What… happened?” I rasped, my throat painfully dry. “You were in a car accident. Mr. Blackwood brought you in. You’re stable now, but you need rest.” Mr. Blackwood. Alex? My fingers instinctively drifted to my stomach. A strange, heavy dread settled there. “Is my baby okay?” I whispered. The nurse went still. The silence stretched. “I’m sorry,” she said quietly. “The accident… W-we couldn’t save the preg
