His Ex-Wife Returned Powerful!
Blessing Odulesi · Ongoing · 178.0k Words
Introduction
Three years of marriage, ended in two words. Lisa had walked down that aisle in her step-cousin's place, believing love might find her. It didn't. Drex Drane barely spoke to her. Barely looked at her. But she stayed—until Cassie returned, his first love, the woman who left him at the altar.
Drex filed for divorce the same day. Threw her out the same night.
Then came the car, speeding toward them both. He had a choice: the woman who stayed, or the woman who left.
He ran past Lisa. He saved Cassie. Left her bleeding on the pavement, her last hope shattered.
That was when Lisa Red died. And when she vowed to return.
Five years later, she's the untouchable, unforgettable billionaire. The woman he discarded is now the woman every eye follows. Including his.
But when Drex finally stands before her, desperate to explain, she looks right through him and smiles:
"Do I know you?"
Chapter 1
"Sign it."
Those were his first words the moment I walked into his office.
"Huh?" I asked quietly, staring at my boss, while trying to keep the surprise from my voice.
Drex didn't say a word. In fact, he barely ever spoke to me.
I wouldn't have minded if he was just my boss, but this was a man I'd been married to for over three years already.
A man that barely acknowledged my existence since the day I stood on the altar in place of my step cousin.
Which was why being called to his office that Wednesday morning was unexpected.
And when he opened his drawer and retrieved a file, I had a feeling this would not be good.
"What is this?" I asked when he dropped it in front of me.
"Divorce papers. Sign it."
Four words. Just four.
But they managed to make my head spin. "Wh-What?"
He finally raised his chin, staring with an expression devoid of emotion. "You know I don't like to repeat myself."
"B-But why so soon?"
"Soon?" He scoffed like that was the most absurd thing. "It's been three years. There is nothing soon about this."
"Drex, y-you can't do this to me." He really couldn't.
If he divorced me, that'd be the end. My life, career, future… everything would be destroyed.
I'd lose the only protection keeping my stepmother from throwing me off to the streets.
No. This couldn't happen.
I didn't even think twice before doing the one thing I never imagined myself doing.
I joined both hands and dropped to my knees. "Please." I begged. "Please give it another thought."
Drex pushed the chair back with a frown. He had clearly not expected this. "What the hell? Get up, Lisa."
"No." I shook my head. "Not until you've promised to think about it."
His teeth were gritted when he spoke. "Get up."
"No—!"
"Get the hell up, Lisa!"
His voice was so loud that it startled a flinch from me.
When I stared at him, something blazed in his eyes. Irritation.
And it was enough to strike right to me.
A drop of tear escaped, followed by another.
Because I was probably the most shameless woman in his eyes.
I had to bite my lower lip to keep from breaking, and slowly pushed myself up till I was standing.
"Think about it." My voice was lower now, rough from unshed tears, as I turned and rushed out of his office (the CEO office).
This wasn't how it was supposed to be!
Heck, when I was dressing in my step cousin's wedding gown, no one told me it was going to be like this.
Drex didn't love me.
He never did. He never saw me as the female who wasn't supposed to be his wife.
But I didn't mind. I didn't even argue.
All I wanted was to be married. And now he wanted to take that from me.
He wanted to throw me back to the hell of my dad's house.
No...
I was so lost in thought that I didn't realize when I bumped into a figure, until the impact made me stagger back.
I was going to fall, but a hand grabbed my elbow and steadied me.
Startled, I stared up at my savior, and a sandy brown haired guy stood in front of me.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there." He studied me for a second, then frowned. "Are you crying?"
It was only then that I realized my cheeks were wet with tears.
I quickly wiped them, wiggling my elbow free. "Excuse me."
I ran past him, surprised when he followed.
He even started calling me from behind to stop, but I didn't.
It wasn't until I was in the elevator, and he got in that I was forced to listen to whatever he had to say.
"You don't look alright." He pointed out in a voice that made me grab my shirt hard to hold back more tears.
"It's none of your business." I snapped, staring at anywhere but him.
"You're right." The stranger nodded, then leaned against the elevator, pocketing his hands. "It's none of my business."
For a second, neither of us said a word, silence filling the space, just as the elevator dinged and the doors separated.
I walked out, but he didn't, and when he spoke, his voice was soft and calm. "But if this has anything to do with a guy, then I'll let you know that no man is worth dropping a single tear from your eyes.
"You're more precious than that."
The way he said it made me pause.
It was like he knew. Like he'd seen right through my soul. Seen the pain in me.
Slowly, I turned to him, eyes filled when they locked on his.
He offered a polite nod, then the elevator door closed and I was left to stand there, the words ringing in my head, because I had a feeling that I might need it.

He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.

The Rejected Luna’s Rise
Luna Ariana Volkstane slid the formal rejection request across the table. "Let's end this bond. It's better for you, me, and your first love."
He just smirked. "You want me to reject you? You think you can break our bond that easily?"
So she did. Ariana cut ties with him completely, poured herself into her career, and rose to global fame as a legendary healer, her knowledge of rare herbs, wolf anatomy, and ancient magic sought after across continents.
The powerful suitors lined up. The Alpha of an overseas empire whispered, "Ariana, hurry up and perform the severing ritual. I can't wait to claim you." A powerful pack leader vowed, "I'll be there with you the day you break the bond." A legendary wolf attorney promised, "I'll handle your rejection case with the pack council myself."
Ariana just rubbed her temples. It's not that she didn't want the split, she wanted it more than anything, it's just that the Alpha she was mated to refused to let go.
Finally, she announced, "Whoever can officially get me rejected, I'll put you at the head table of my bond-breaking celebration."
Not long after, Alpha Damian was served the official rejection request right in the middle of an emergency pack council meeting. That same afternoon, he was attacked by rogues at the gates of his own territory.
When Ariana showed up at the pack infirmary with healing herbs, she repeated calmly, "Let's sever the mate bond. It's better for you, me, and everyone else."
But the cold, untouchable Alpha pulled her into his arms, his eyes blood-red with fury. "You want me to reject you? Over my dead body."

Offside Temptation
Ethan Ryder was a disaster waiting to happen. Hot-headed, reckless, and constantly one bad decision away from ruining his career. I was supposed to hate him. Instead, I memorized him. I learned exactly how to push his buttons on the ice just to see the fire in his eyes.
When he grabbed my jersey in that locker room and kissed me in front of twenty cameras, it wasn't a mistake. It was the moment the line between hatred and obsession finally snapped. The media called it a scandal. They called us a divorced couple. But they didn't see the way Ethan trembled when I cornered him in the hallway afterward.
"You're staring again," he whispered, his back hitting the wall.
"You're still here," I replied calmly, stepping close enough to feel his erratic pulse.
He thought I was cold. He thought I was controlled. He didn't realize that every time he looked at me, I was fighting the urge to completely destroy the distance between us.
Now, the league is forcing us to live together, train together, and smile for the cameras to fix our public image. But the more time we spend alone in my apartment, the harder it is to pretend I just want to play hockey...
