After Divorce, My Secretary Wife Becomes Rival Boss
Charlotte devoted six years to being the perfect wife and the efficient secretary—loyal, and the quiet force behind Drake Watson’s corporate empire. She sacrificed her career, her dreams, and even her dignity. But when betrayal shattered her world, she lost everything, including the child she never got to hold, the moment her husband’s mistress, Mia, returned from Paris.
After a devastating loss, Charlotte finally resigns, files for divorce, and walks away from Drake.
Drake believed losing her was just an inconvenience until she returned, not as his wife, but as his worst nightmare. Now a powerful CEO in her own right, she’s no longer the obedient secretary who lived in his shadow. She’s his rival, and the one woman he can’t afford to underestimate.
But what happens when the woman he cast aside becomes the storm that could bring him down, not just in business, but in the one place that will hurt him the most… his heart.
Drake isn’t the man she thought he was. As she rises in the corporate world, he fights to pull her back into his arms. But can she trust the man who once shattered her? And will revenge be enough… when love still burns between them?

Chapter: Chapter 0025CHARLOTTE'S POV Another gala in how many weeks? This was the way of the rich: tons of galas and private parties held among each other, most of them to showcase their wealth and quite a few to either catch up or discuss business with fellow businessmen and women and potential partners. I was quite used to the parties; the six years I had spent with my ex-husband had taught me quite a lot, most of them valuable lessons, and one of them is not to believe some of the smiles that are directed to you in parties like this— in fact, most of them.They are mostly fake ones. If you find it hard to believe, then wait till you hear what is being said behind your back. I let out a soft sigh and went inside with Sawyer by my side. “We have a huge discussion to have once we are done with this party,” Sawyer said, pulling me out of my thoughts. I turned to look at him briefly. “How serious is it, and would it be a good one?”“Yes, it is,” he answered. I took my gaze off him to stare forward. “

Chapter: Chapter 0024DRAKE’S POV “Hi, love,” Mia said while approaching me, swaying her hips with a big smile on her face. Aria followed her closely behind; they both sat on the client’s chair opposite me. The smile on Mia’s face slowly disappeared and got replaced with a frown real quick. “You don’t sound too happy to see me. What’s wrong? Or have you gotten tired of my pretty face?” she questioned, cupping her face with her palm and making huge puppy eyes. It was an expression she was fond of making whenever she pissed me off and was trying to calm me down, which rarely happens. Even if I get pissed, I make sure that I don't make it known except when I want to. I barely lose control of my emotions, and only one person has ever done so. I don’t know why it had to be someone who only loved me for my money. “I’m not pissed at you; I just got reminded of something that got me a bit pissed,” I replied and dropped what I was going through to give her my undivided emotion for a bit. “And wh

Chapter: Chapter 0023DRAKE’S POV Immediately I walked into my office, a couple of things had changed, like the positioning of the desk and my chair. It was no longer directly opposite the door; it was now to the right-hand side immediately after the door had been pushed open. I moved my head sideways a bit, checking out the whole office. I wonder whose work this was. Aria Night has hired some couple of guys to help her with it; there are chances that she might have gotten bored of the look after spending three years here. There was also the chance that it could be Charlotte if she is not pleased with what the former setting of the office reminds her of. As much as I would have preferred my old arrangements back, there is nothing bad in trying out new stuff. I made my way to the chair and sank into it. First day of work, and I already have a task waiting for me. I picked up the file placed on the table and went through it. Just then, there was a knock on my office. Without taking my gaze of

Chapter: Chapter 0022CHARLOTTE’S POV “Where are you taking us to?” I tilted my head to ask Sawyer for the nth time after he had picked us up. He let out a soft chuckle. He seemed to be enjoying this, my overwhelming curiosity and eagerness to know. “Just calm down, Charlotte; it’s only a matter of time before we get there…” He tilted his head to face me and raised his index finger. “Let me just tell you one last thing. This will be the last time I will answer your question concerning where we are headed. I stared at him, a little bewildered that he was not going to fold at all and was hellbent on not telling me till we arrived. “Seriously?” “Yes, Charlotte, seriously,” he answered. This time, his gaze had already returned to the road. “Maybe he is taking us to a park,” Little Ivy’s tiny voice came from the back seat. I turned back to look at her. “I don’t think he is; it’s already too late to go to the park.” “Really?” Sawyer asked, earning a slight frown from me. He saw the frown on my fac

Chapter: Chapter 0021Charlotte’s POV I looked around, watching the hands that were down slowly rise up; only a few were left down, including mine and Reddington's. I turned to look at Jaden, our newest investor— the representative of our newest investor— raising his hand in support of Drake getting back his position as the CEO. I leaned back on the chair, keeping my face neutral. I had gotten his plan figured out, but it was too late; there was nothing that I could do now to counter it. I had spent my time trying to figure out why the hell the bastard had suggested accepting the capital that was rejected a while back for whatever reason. On the surface there was actually no gain for him for doing that, or that was how it looked like in the beginning, but the dilution had caused most of the negative effects on me. To retain your position as the CEO unopposed, you have to have passed a certain threshold of share percentage, and I had passed it only by a little before, but after the dilution, it

Chapter: Chapter 0020Drake’s POV I woke up to the sudden realization that even after my return from the shadows, my life is not the same as it was before I plunged into the shadows. I have no work to go to; my position as the CEO has been temporarily snatched away from me, and not only that, even the power I hold as the highest shareholder among the board members has been taken away from me. It’s all temporary and for a little time before I get back everything from her. But I still couldn’t shake off the question that troubled me: just what the hell happened in the three years that I have been away? I hadn’t noticed anything; I didn’t even keep my ears or eyes down for anything either. After I had been told that she was dead, I just accepted it and tried to move on with my life and deal with the guilt eating away at me. Even though her return was what I had desperately wished for, it wasn’t on the list of things I expected to happen at all. The takeover as the highest shareholder by someone e
