The Stand In Wife's Revenge
Ava thought she knew heartbreak. She thought
She knew betrayal. But when her world came
crashing down and she was left with nothing
but a stack of divorce papers on the day of their
anniversary, the truth hit her harder than she
could ever imagine. With nowhere to go and no
one to trust, a near-fatal accident changes
everything.
Saved by a mysterious stranger, Ava is given a
second chance at life -but not without strings
attached. Billionaire Alexander Navarro offers
her an escape. In exchange for her presence
as his "stand-in wife," he promises her
everything: security, safety, and a chance to
heal.
But as their worlds collide, secrets unravel and
a deadly game of power, revenge, and twisted
desire begins. Liam isn't done with her, and the
past is far from buried. With every passing day,
Ava's world becomes more complicated and
her desire for vengeance burns hotter than
ever.
As she discovers this dangerous world, one
question remains: Will Ava's revenge cost her
more than she's willing to pay?

Chapter: A Moment of HopeAt the time when Alex was gone, I went into the room. I remained there thinking about everything briefly after the door clicked shut behind me.Everything seemed to be calmly lightened by the delicate light coming in through the windows and the bed was so large and rich that it nearly appeared to be stunning.As I strolled across the room, I stopped sharply. I momentarily had the feeling that I was entering the life and story of another person. I didn't intend to live this way. I wasn't in need of spaces that cried honor and abundance like this one.But then I was right here. Out of nature I put my hand on my stomach and felt the little kick that had turned into a persistent sign of what my life had become. My child .Up to this point I had the opportunity to give it my full thought. It had appeared as though a bit of hindsight in the surge of things covered underneath all the other things I was thinking of.Anyway I became mindful of the fact that it was a piece of me — part of my ne

Chapter: A New Beginning"Welcome to your new home, Ava." Alex's voice broke the stillness with a smooth comforting tone.The car glided to a halt and he parked in front of a huge mansion, he got out quickly and rounded the car to get the door for me and I got out, my legs shaky from exhaustion.I couldn't help but look around as I felt lost in the beauty and magnificent. I had never Imagined stepping into a place like this, much less staying in it."This is where you stay... alone?" I inquired, unable to control the wonder that was beginning to seep into my voice.This world, Alex's unexpected offer of assistance and the peculiar weight of being in a mansion that seemed to belong to someone much more significant than myself were all still rocking my head.Alex smiled, a glimmer of something nearly gentle in his eyes as though he recognized my perplexity.As if it were the most natural thing in the world he stated plainly "For the time being, you are my company."I was at a loss for words. His words hung in m

Chapter: The Familiar StrangerI froze.I heard the voice, so recognizable yet so distant. It sounded cool and easy as though he had absolutely no worries to speak of when he said my name. He appeared to have known me for quite a long time. I went to search for himself and felt a chill creep down my spine. Alex. Resting up against a smooth dim vehicle across the road he radiated a calm certainty that made him unmissable. He oozed with confidence and his fitted suit fit him like it was specially designed. I felt defenseless and uncooked by the manner in which he looked at me as though he knew it all yet nothing by any means. His eyes met mine and the edges of his lips turned into a smirk. He stood upright and moved toward me with quiet estimated advances. I felt like I needed to run or move away as I felt something about him that was uncanny."Ava." he called out again in a low, smooth voice. "You are out. I figured you would leave soon yet I didn't expect it would be so quickly. How are you?"Attempting to keep

Chapter: The Unfamiliar PathThe faint buzzing of fluorescent lights above me roused me. A faint antiseptic scent and something else blended with the hospital's sterile odor that permeated the air.Something that smelt like fear. My head was still pounding from the pain from the day before so I shifted and winced a little.The sterile hospital gown was still sticking to my body when I sat up and saw the light coming in through the window creating long shadows all over the room. It was dawn.The weight of reality also had to bear. I couldn't stay in the hospital but I didn't know where I was going or where I belonged. I struggled to swing my legs over the side of the bed and stood up, my knees quivering a little under me.The nurses had removed the bandage from my side while I slept but the pain persisted—sharp and persistent like a continual reminder of whatever had happened to me. I cautiously touched it but I couldn't afford to worry about that right now. I had to go. Except for my suitcase which was still at

Chapter: BurdenThe sight of everything I had constructed was a dull sight tonight as I entered the mansion through the enormous front door. Every detail including the marble floors, the chandeliers and the high ceilings served as a reminder of both my accomplishments and how empty everything now felt.As I passed I hardly noticed the dozen maids in uniform standing in perfect formation with their heads bowed in greeting. They waited in silence for recognition but I had nothing to offer.Not tonight.I was thinking about something else. Ava's mystery, the day's events and the weight of everything looming over me dominated my thoughts. As my life seemed to be falling apart I was unable to concentrate on the little details of my mansion. I lacked the strength for formalities and the likes as I went up the grand staircase, my footsteps echoing in the silence of the mansion.After Fiona's unconsciousness, the mansion had become eerily quiet once again. The same silence that had given this place a tomb-l

Chapter: The Burden of the UnknownWith its sleek black frame creating a long shadow across the driveway, the car's engine purred to a halt in front of his mansion.Alex remained motionless in the driver's seat for a moment, the only sound that slipped into his mind was the soft hum of the engine. The magnificent of his estate and the towering stone pillars that ought to have occupied his thoughts were all far from his mind. Instead Ava was all he could think about. His mind kept drifting back to her, lost and alone on the road, she had been a mystery ever since he had found her.All day long he had been haunted by the vision of her frail vulnerable body, her eyes wide with doubt.He had been attracted to her for reasons other than just her apparent need for assistance. Something more profound. Despite his inability to pinpoint it he sensed a connection between them.The way she talked and her voice were tentative and quite similar to Fiona's. It had hit him at once. There was an eerie similarity...same curly dark ha
