The Billionaire Ex-Wife's Revenge
PageProfit Studio · Ongoing · 585.1k Words
Introduction
What they didn't know-she was always the one out of his league.
For two years, Astrid was the silent force behind the Ellsworth empire. She played the obedient wife, stayed out of the spotlight, and turned a crumbling corporation into a market leader-all while being treated like a disposable accessory.
When her husband Kieran brought home his "true love" and asked for a divorce, she didn't cry.
He thought she'd fall apart without him.
Instead, she rose-faster, higher, and fiercer than anyone imagined.
Now, world-class corporations fight for her signature.
Top medical institutes beg for her guidance.
Powerful men compete for her heart.
And her ex?
He's watching, helpless, as the woman he threw away becomes the one woman he can never reach again.
Now he kneels, pleading for forgiveness.
She doesn't even slow down.
Chapter 1
"Astrid, I met someone I truly love. "
Astrid Caldwell was in the middle of organizing key points for next week's international conference when she heard that.
For a second, she seriously thought she was hallucinating. She looked up instinctively, eyes landing on the man holding the divorce papers.
"Come again?"
Kieran Ellsworth placed the papers in front of her, tone flat. "Sorry to tell you like this."
"'Tell' me?" Astrid snorted, lips twitching in sardonic amusement.
"Wow, Mr. CEO really treats everything like office memos-even ending a marriage. What's the reason? Gotta give me something before I sign."
"I already said, I met someone. Keeping this marriage going isn't fair to you."
"Someone you 'really love'?" Astrid let out a short laugh. It wasn't amused - it was bitter.
"We've been married for two years, Kieran. And in all that time, none of your friends, none of your business partners, even knew I existed."
"I thought you were just private. That you didn't want your personal life exposed. But now I see the truth."
"You kept that space open. Always ready to walk away the second your 'true love' appeared. Isn't that what this is?"
His brows drew together, just slightly.
"That's not what happened. Colleen and I... we only realized how we felt recently. She didn't know about you when she fell for me. She's innocent."
"Innocent?" Astrid's voice sharpened. "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Two years, Kieran."
"Who went out past midnight to get your meds when your ulcer flared up?"
"Who sat by your hospital bed while your stomach bled from all the drinking you did to close deals?"
"Who stayed with your grandfather when he was dying, because you couldn't be bothered to take time off?"
"You think finding 'true love' gives you the right to throw me away like I never mattered?"
"Where's your conscience? Or did it rot away along with everything else you promised me?"
Kieran leaned back from her sharp words, clearly caught off guard by the sudden surge of emotion. He rubbed his temples, his voice dropping a notch-gentle, but somehow even colder.
"Astrid, I know you've done a lot for my family-for me. Grandpa adores you. But... feelings aren't something you can control. I don't love you. That's just the truth."
At that point, Astrid completely gave up. She took a deep breath and said, "Fine. I'll sign the divorce papers."
Kieran didn't expect her to agree so easily. After a moment, he asked, "After the divorce, are you still planning on staying at Ellsworth Corp?"
Astrid let out a cold chuckle. "We're getting divorced. What would be the point?"
Kieran replied, "Colleen has pushed the development of the ProVex Virus inhibitor forward and got accepted into KY International Medical Institute. I'm still under probation, so I'll be heading back to Evania for a while."
Astrid frowned slightly, a bit stunned. "ProVex virus inhibitor? Colleen took part in that?"
Why hadn't those old guys mentioned it to her?
Kieran's eyes lit up with pride as he talked. "Colleen is a genius in the medical world. When it comes to pharmaceuticals, she's top-notch. But the corporate world is full of scheming and backstabbing. She's too pure for that mess. Wouldn't work in Ellsworth Corp."
"But you-you're built for this stuff. You thrive in it. That's why Grandpa values you so much. He might not even agree to our divorce."
There was a clear trace of disdain in his tone toward the workplace dirty politics.
Enjoying the life that came with wealth and power, he still managed to look down on the very kind of people who helped build it.
Astrid stared at him, fully mocking now.
Hilarious. She used to think he was someone she could count on.
Kieran didn't notice the change in her expression. He kept going, "As long as you stay at Ellsworth Corp, Grandpa won't make things hard for us. If you stay, I'll give you 1% in company shares-you'll get a few million in dividends every month."
Astrid let out a short laugh. "1%? And you think I care? You want me to step aside, give you two space, and stick around to clean up after you-help you grow the company and keep the money rolling in? Wow. Must be nice to live in that fantasy."
Kieran thought he was already being generous. Now she was just being ridiculous by trashing the company like that.
His face darkened. "What do you mean 'clean up after'? Ellsworth Corp is doing just fine without you."
"Joining KY Medical is a major move. Colleen and I are contributing to society. You're living the high life-what more do you want?"
Astrid stood there, looking at the man who used to be her husband.
The same handsome face that once made her heart race now just looked like a total joke.

“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”

This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**

Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.

Vengeance of the Forsaken Luna
"Bella." Ethan's tone shifted, taking on that warning edge I knew too well. "Faye is vulnerable right now. She's terrified you'll resent her, that this will divide the pack. The last thing she wants is for this baby to come between us."
"Then you shouldn't have done it." I met his eyes squarely, letting him see the ice in mine. "Go back to your son."
"For fuck's sake." He dragged a hand through his hair. "How many times—it was artificial insemination. They used my sperm, yes, but Faye and I never—"
Bella let out a cold snort. Such brazen lies. Her mate had an affair with his brother's partner, and his entire family helped force her out with nothing, all to make way for the mistress to take her rightful position. Poor fool—he thought she was just an unwanted adopted daughter, easy to dismiss and control. He never knew the computer genius he'd been searching for was his own Luna.
Since he'd tainted himself, Bella was done. She rejected him and reclaimed what was hers, rising to the top with help from Victor, who'd been secretly in love with her for years.
When Ethan tried winning her back: "You don't want our child growing up fatherless."
Bella smiled mockingly. "The child's father isn't you."

The Alpha's Stripper Mate
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."
At the tender age of eleven, JoJo Wyatt was forced to grow up far sooner than she should have.

The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.
