Raised an orphan, Sienna longed for a family, and when Ethan Vaughn, the powerful billionaire, proposed, she thought her dreams had come true. But the man she married was nothing like the prince she imagined. Cold and controlling, Ethan’s love was a cage, suffocating her every move. The moment Sienna became pregnant, things took a darker turn, as Ethan accused her of betrayal and abandoned her, leaving her homeless and heartbroken.

Betrayed by those she trusted, including her own family, Sienna’s world was turned upside down. Could she find the strength to let go of the past and embrace the love she deserved? Will Sienna find redemption, or will Ethan’s manipulations destroy them both? Find out what happens next in “The Billionaire’s Broken Bride.”

Chapter: Chapter 10: War Begins
“Do you really think you can win this, Sienna?” Ethan’s voice cut through the air like a knife, sending a chill down my spine. His cold gaze locked onto mine, the same icy stare I had once desperately tried to understand.We stood outside the courthouse, mere steps away from entering a battle that would determine everything for Daniel. And yet, it felt like we were back at the beginning, in a place I never wanted to revisit.“I don’t need to win, Ethan,” I replied, my voice steadier than I felt. “I only need to make sure Daniel is safe. That’s all that matters now.”His lips curled into a sardonic smile, and I saw the same arrogance I had always hated. “Safe?” He laughed, but it wasn’t the kind of laughter that made me feel like he was actually amused. It was the kind that made my skin crawl. “You think you can keep him from me? You really think that you can hide him in some little life you’ve built, and I’ll just let you get away with it?”“You don’t know anything about my life, Etha

Chapter: Chapter 9: The Return of the Monster
“Mom! Can I play with my ball outside?” Daniel’s voice rang through the apartment, breaking my focus. I smiled at the sound of his innocence, his carefree spirit the one thing that had kept me going through the darkest of times. The world outside had been cruel, but Daniel had been my light, my reason to rise each morning.“Sure, sweetheart,” I called back, making my way to the window to watch him run out onto the playground across the street. A part of me was always worried when he went outside, knowing how much of the world I had to shield him from, but for now, he was safe. He was happy. And in that moment, nothing else mattered.But then, as I turned away from the window, the bell rang—loud, urgent, almost deafening. My heart skipped a beat, and I rushed to the door, never thinking twice. Who would be at the door at this hour?I opened it, and my breath caught in my throat. There he was. Ethan Vaughn. Standing on the other side, as if the years had never passed. His gaze, cold a

Chapter: Chapter 8: A New Hope, A New Enemy
"I told you, Sienna, you don't have to worry about a thing." Evelyn's voice was warm as she placed a steaming cup of coffee on the counter. "Just take it one day at a time."I nodded, feeling the weight of the moment settle on me. For the first time in years, I felt like I had a sliver of control over my own fate. The café was a safe haven, its quiet hum of conversation and clinking cups a refuge from the chaos of the world outside. Every day, I worked diligently—pouring coffee, wiping tables, and doing whatever I could to ensure I had enough to support myself and my son. Life, though still uncertain, was beginning to feel manageable again.As I wiped down the counter, the bell above the door jingled, signaling someone’s arrival. I didn’t look up immediately. My focus was on the dirty cup in my hand. But when I heard the voice—a low, smooth baritone—I froze."I’m looking for Sienna Carter."I froze, my breath catching in my throat. I knew that voice. A voice I never thought I would he

Chapter: Chapter 7: From Riches to Ruins
"Sienna, you have to keep moving."The wind bit through my clothes, sharp as knives, as I trudged along the freezing streets, my breath coming out in quick, visible gasps. I couldn’t remember the last time I had eaten. My stomach growled, but there was no food to be had. Only the endless stretch of concrete that seemed to go on forever.I wanted to scream, to call out to someone, anyone, but there was no one. Not anymore. Ethan was gone, his promises as cold and empty as the city that swallowed me whole. My feet were raw from walking so much in shoes that had long since lost their purpose. Every step I took was a reminder of how far I had fallen—from the grand penthouses and catered dinners to… this endless search for shelter. For survival.I pushed against the wind, fighting the tears that burned my eyes, knowing there was no one to care. Not anymore.I could still remember his touch. Ethan’s strong arms around me, his whispered promises that I was safe, that I would always have a h

Chapter: Chapter 6: The Brutal Fallout
"How could you?" Ethan's voice cracked like a whip, the words searing through the thick air. His anger was a tempest, and I could feel the intensity of every syllable. "I trusted you, Sienna, and you—""Stop!" I pleaded, my voice barely audible beneath his rage. "You don't even know what you're accusing me of."Margaret, his mother, sat across from us, her eyes gleaming with a cruel satisfaction as if she were witnessing the spectacle of her dreams. "Go on, Ethan," she said in a cool, detached voice. "Let her explain herself."Explain? What was there to explain? My body trembled, the exhaustion of everything weighing me down. Ethan's accusations sliced through my heart, but it was the calm, almost gleeful look in his mother's eyes that made me want to run, to escape."You've betrayed me!" Ethan hissed, his words venomous, poisoning the air around us. "You carry another man's child, and you still lie about it!"I recoiled at his words, but I didn't back down. "Ethan, no! This child is

Chapter: Chapter 5: The Child That Changes Everything
"I can't believe this," I muttered under my breath as I sat on the edge of the bathroom sink, staring at the two blue lines on the pregnancy test. My heart raced in my chest, a mix of excitement and fear. I had hoped for a family, but now that the possibility was staring back at me, I couldn't help but feel the weight of uncertainty bearing down on me. I swallowed hard, staring at the small test in my hands as if somehow, the answer might change if I looked at it long enough. The baby. Ethan's child. But was he even going to be thrilled? Or would he see this as one more thing to control, something else to manipulate? I knew Ethan wasn’t the man I had hoped he would be when I agreed to marry him. But I thought, maybe... maybe this would change everything. Maybe this would be the one thing that would make him love me. Sighing, I stood up, feeling the weight of my thoughts in my body. The baby. What would this mean for my future? What would it mean for my son? Just then, I hear

Chapter: Chapter 129: Love, Loyalty, and Triumph
“Are you sure about this?” I asked Elias as I adjusted the elegant satin gown, hugging my body. The grand hall was already filled with the city’s elite, all gathered to celebrate the official resurgence of Westbrook Industries. Chandeliers sparkled above us, and the orchestra played softly in the background.Elias turned to me, his blue eyes intense. “I’ve never been more certain about anything in my life.” His voice was low, but the sincerity hit me deep.I smoothed my dress nervously. “It’s just... after everything we've been through—”He placed his hand over mine, steadying me. “That’s exactly why tonight is important. You’ve always been the heart of this company, Victoria. It’s time the world knows it.”Before I could respond, the announcer’s voice boomed across the room. "Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming Elias Westbrook and Victoria Lancaster to the stage."The applause was thunderous. My heart raced as Elias led me to the center stage. Cameras flashed, capturing

Chapter: Chapter 128: A Legacy Rebuilt
"I still can’t believe you're doing this," Victoria said, her voice edged with disbelief as we rode the elevator to the top floor of Westbrook Industries. "Announcing a philanthropic initiative in our son's name? Elias, the board won't take this lightly."I straightened my tie, a smile tugging at the corner of my mouth. "They'll take it because it's the right move. And because you're going to help me make them see that."She shook her head with a soft laugh. "You're impossible.""Yet you married me."Her laughter faded, and for a moment, we stood in silence. The weight of everything we’d been through hung between us like a fragile truce. The scars from betrayal and heartbreak hadn’t fully healed, but standing beside her now, I felt stronger—more determined than ever to make things right.When the elevator doors opened, a wave of tension swept over me. The boardroom was already packed. Selene’s former allies sat at the long mahogany table, their faces taut with apprehension and skeptic

Chapter: Chapter 127: The Power of Forgiveness
"Are you sure about this?" Elias asked as he pulled the car into the long, winding driveway. The towering oak trees on either side seemed to close in on us. "We can turn back if you're not ready."I swallowed the lump in my throat, my fingers twisting nervously in my lap. "No. I need to do this."He reached over, his hand warm and steady on mine. "I'm right here with you."I gave him a grateful smile, though my heart felt like it was doing backflips. The last time I saw my father, we had exchanged harsh words that cut deeper than any wound. Years had passed, and I had told myself I didn't need closure—but now, with a child of my own, everything felt different.Elias parked the car in front of the large, weathered farmhouse. The sight of the familiar porch with its peeling paint and creaky swing tugged at memories I had long buried.The front door opened before we even stepped out of the car. My father stood there, his once-strong frame slightly stooped, but his eyes were still sharp a

“It’s a boy!” the doctor announced with a broad smile as the room filled with the sound of a baby’s strong cry.My breath hitched as tears blurred my vision. Relief, joy, and overwhelming love crashed through me in waves. Elias stood beside me, his hand gripping mine as though it was the only thing grounding him to this earth.“We have a son, Victoria,” he whispered, his voice breaking.I looked up at him, barely able to form words. “He’s here... we did it.”The nurse approached, gently placing the swaddled baby in my arms. His face was red and scrunched, his tiny fingers curled into fists. I couldn't stop staring. He was perfect.“He’s beautiful,” Elias said, his voice thick with emotion.I managed a shaky laugh. “He looks just like you.”Elias let out a breathless chuckle. “Poor kid.”I smiled despite the tears streaming down my face. “He’s lucky, just like I am.”Elias leaned down, pressing a tender kiss to my forehead. “No, Victoria. I’m the lucky one. You gave me a second chance.

Chapter: Chapter 125: The Arrival
"Stay with me, Victoria!" Elias's voice cracked as he clutched my hand, his knuckles white with tension.The pain was relentless, like waves crashing through me, each stronger than the last. My breath came in shallow gasps as the paramedics maneuvered the stretcher down the hallway toward the ambulance. Everything was a blur—the flashing red lights, the wail of the siren, and Elias’s voice, fierce and determined, cutting through the chaos."I can't—" I choked, unable to finish as a sharp contraction gripped me."You can," Elias urged, his eyes wild with fear. "You're the strongest person I know. Just hold on."The ambulance doors slammed shut, sealing us inside. The paramedics worked quickly, their voices urgent but steady."Blood pressure's dropping," one of them announced. "We need to stabilize her."Elias's grip on my hand tightened. "Do whatever it takes. Just save them—both of them."I squeezed his hand weakly, trying to reassure him, though I wasn’t sure if I was reassuring myse

"Open it already, Elias," I urged, unable to mask the tension in my voice.Elias’s fingers trembled as he tore open the mysterious envelope that had been left at our doorstep. The elegant black seal on the back hinted at something sinister, and my instincts screamed that whatever was inside would only bring chaos.He pulled out a neatly folded letter. As he read silently, his face darkened, his jaw clenching so tightly I thought he might snap."What does it say?" I demanded.His voice was low, filled with disbelief. "It’s from Selene."I froze. "Selene? What could she possibly have to say after everything she did?"Elias's knuckles turned white as he gripped the letter. "She claims there’s another conspiracy brewing within Westbrook Industries—something even bigger than her betrayal."My heart raced. "Bigger? How is that possible?"He handed me the letter, and I scanned the words quickly. Selene's handwriting was precise, almost too neat for the venomous confession she had penned."El
