Revenge of the discarded ex-wife
For three years Loraine was secretly married to the stunningly gorgeous billionaire Lucas Ravenwood, the renowned owner of Glamour Elite, a fashion brand known to all fancy celebrities and elite social circles. She was his perfect housewife, obedient, selfless and blinded by love.
Until she heard Lucas confess his love for another woman in a public interview and state that he would only love a woman whose achievements could match his own. And the woman he desired was the ravishing actress Aubrey Sinclair. Lovella could not believe these words of course, until Lucas repeated them in her face.
"A dog would be more useful to me than you will ever be." He said before ushering in the famous actress Aubrey Sinclair into the house that Loraine had always thought would be her home.
She left with a broken heart, but a determined spirit. Binding herself by the rule that she would never trust another man, Loraine pursued her distinctive designing talent, the very thing she had sacrificed to become Lucas Ravenswood good wife.
Four years later, she is the epitome of creativity in the fashion industry and working for Stellar Style, the competing company of Glamour Elite. Her innovative ideas are not just helping her employer company take away markets from her ex-husband's fashion brand, but also gaining her the attention of famous rich men and hot male celebrities.
So when Lucas Ravenwood learns that the new unrevealed designer is his subservient ex-wife, he immediately embarks on a quest to win her back. But Loraine is no longer the meek woman he once controlled. This time, he will have to sweat, sacrifice, and beg just to get her attention.

Chapter: A Man's EnvyLorraine's PovPolice said they are looking for Jessica, but their little efforts have so far been fruitless. I do not think she is good at hiding, unless someone is helping her. Ryder Sterling is the only person that knew about the deal I had with Mr Giovanni. Can he have shared that information with Jessica? She also burned my apartment after his cousin's letter arrived. If I take my suspicions to the police right now everything will be publicized and the reputation of the brand will die like a withering flower. I made a plan to make everything right since the moment Stephen Vale told me that Jessica had stolen from him. That plan does not involve telling the police everything. They wouldn't even believe that Hollywood's most popular actor is a con who conspires to steal from other rich people. "If someone that looks like me came to your house and took the materials you should report it to the police. It was an impersonator. The same person that burned my apartment and also tried

Chapter: Becoming A MillionaireLorraine's Pov"It appears like your ex-husband is sending you rich customers to win back your love," Ryder Sterling claims while sitting on the comfy couch of my new mansion's parlour."It's my skills that Lucas Ravenwood wants, he doesn't give a shit about love. Why would he want to help our business succeed and compete with his?" I argue. "He only wants to impress you. Why else do you think Mr Giovanni demanded that the outfit be made by you alone and not the brand. Lucas Ravenwood already got the world buying from his brand. Only thing he cares about not is winning your trust again," he alleges. I do not deny that my ex-husband seeks to doe favours, but this wasn't one of them. Mr Giovanni simply believes in my talent. I do not need to argue with my business partner to prove that right now.I start scrolling through the unread messages on my phone when a new one pops up. It's from the bank and it appears that I have received tenty million dollars from my ex-husband's brand!He d

"My wife will be having an exquisite birthday party that many influential figures as well as media personalities will attend. It is important that she appears a bit spoilt for the sake of wiping away the disgraceful past rumours," he explains. There were rumours that he treats his wife like a hated servant, which may be true or false. It's none of my business. At least he doesn't keep her secret like my ex did. "So you want an exquisite outfit for her, one that will make headline?" I ask. "Yes. But I do not just want it to look good, I want it to be quite expensive. Something worth millions at least. The goal is to make people see that I do take great care of her," he answers. I think she is a lucky woman. But the materials needed to make such an outfit are a bit too expensive for someone that is not filthy rich like me."The cost of the mater-" I start but he cuts me short."Do not worry about that.

I could have booked the best hotel room for you to sleep," he rants.I never told him that I read his cousin's letter. I figured out that he shouldn't know now that I know the truth. To survive in this capitalistic city I must be as scheming as the everyone else. "I didn't want to sleep in a hotel. And I did not want to disturb you," I answer. "I would rather you disturbed me in every way possible. You would not have surrendered the best of our designs to your ex-husband if you at least called me first," he argues."I made those designs long before you and I were partners," I remind. "And I needed that house together with everything he put in it. It was a good trade." He stands thinking for a long time before sighing and returning to the seat opposite my desk."You know that I love you, right?" he asks."We

Chapter: The Pretentious EnemyLORRAINE'S POV"You called my ex-husband?" I ask the officer in annoyance."No. He just showed up. I imagine he has got informants, he is a rich man," he answers. That angers me more. Lucas Ravenwood has got people watching me. He has got no respect for my privacy. "Am I free to go?" I ask. "Of course. He is waiting," the officer answers.I make my way out of the tiny office and meet Lucas Ravenwood, the world's hero, at the reception area, surrounded by a dozen swooning officers. He turns away from their praises after seeing me. "Drinks are on me," he announces before leaving the company of the group. The officers happily applaud. "Are you okay?" he asks, wrapping his hands around me in a tight embrace. I let him hug me, because it would be unwise to fight it in front of the police and seem like the mad one. Besides I am heading to the mansion he bought."Sir, we assure you that we will get the person that commited that horrendous crime," the officer that I spoke to now swears.

Chapter: The MysteryLORRAINE'S POVMy heart misses a beat at the sight of my smoking, blackened apartment. Everything is charred, including my safe-like drawer that appears to have been smashed with a heavy object before it burnt. Nothing that was inside looks the same. But nothing was stolen either. So the aim was to destroy everything.My neighbours whisper to the police behind me. They called firemen but it was too late. I have lost everything that wasn't in my handbag when I left. Glad I had my fashion sketchbook and a credit card, that's all I own now. "I am so sorry, Sarah. Whoever did this must have been extremely envious of you," Ryder Sterling says while standing beside me.I doubt envy can be the cause of this. Whoever it was had a clear intention of destroying every single item. I am glad I carried the letter from the actor's cousin or I would no longer have a chance of knowing what he intended to tell me."Your neighbours say that it was you that arrived back here and left again in a hurry o

For this you deserve a punishment like none other," he states in a bitter voice. The man must have lost his mind. Or Arina bewitched him. Nothing he said makes sense. The father of my husbands was a renowned hardworker and generous king who built a kingdom so strong that all others envied him. No one else has ever called him a traitor because he never was one. "Sounds like you have lost your mind a lot more than the witch herself," Garren comments. "You have the chance to tell us where she might have gone and what were your evil plans with her and we might consider letting you live," he adds in a menacing voice. The doctor still scoffs. "Y

Once you fail we will get rid of every servant except those that we deeply trust," Garren states. "No problem," Fenris confidently responds. "I am perfectly capable of fixing this entire problem for you all."A young female servant enters the room and bows. "You summoned me, your majesty," she says to angel Fenris."I need a specific rumour spread. Can you do that for me?" he asks. The lady smiles, seemingly excited. "It would be my honor to do so, sir," she bows again.If I didn't know better I would say she is flirting with him.

So this must be a dream. I briefly struggle to get my eyes open. A pair of soft lips kisses mine just as my eyes finally blink open. "Told you she just needed our close touch," Garren says after pulling back. "She has woken," he anounces and two more beautiful faces gather next to him, staring down at me with happy smiles.It's not a dream, our mate bond is back. Probably because of the shaman's death.

She almost lost her life and will probably take days if not weeks to recover from the injuries. Not even our mate bond is present to help her heal faster."Where is her father?" I ask my brothers. It's obvious they do not want to talk about that. A thing that worries me because they were under Shaman's spell. "When that witch and her father arrived Keira's father and her friends tried attacking them. Of course we thought the woman was Keira so we defended her," Garren answers. "You didn't kill them, did you?" I ask. "No. The witch demanded that they be punished and locked up. We let the soldiers do the dirty work since we did not want to be directly involved. We thought that she would regret the decision later," Fenris answers. I wonder how bad the punishment was because there is a chance that our mate's father will never forgive us.

Chapter: THE CRAZY EX-WIFE ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POV Once Ms Raven leaves, Vanessa turns to face me, cracking her knuckles. “You’re lucky I didn’t knock her ass out for bringing you here. You know that, don’t you?”"Seriously! Why are you being such a bitch Vanessa? You have no fucking right to decide who I can and cannot be with." "I'm trying to keep you safe Abel. There are people around you who want to hurt you, and you don’t even see it. So yeah, I have the fucking right to decide who you can and cannot be with. Every fucking right." "I don’t need your protection, I’m not your responsibility. And how can you claim you want to protect me after disgracing me in front of the whole world," I angrily respond. "You feel disgraced?" she raises her eyebrows. "I only acknowledged that we were once married and asked for your forgiveness.""Forgiveness? Is that what you call what you told the media?” I scoff. "Being known as your ex-husband is an awful disgrace," I say and her eyes flash with a mix of anger and hurt."O

I booked a table for our meeting here since I figured that my usual restaurant will be a cheap place for Ms Raven to be and an unsuitable place for me when my face is plastered all over the internet. It only took a few hours for Vanessa's confession to be featured on countless gossip articles and with massive speculation."But that's not true," I tell. "Vanessa was good to me, faithful, even, until the last few months before our divorce."Ms. Raven scoffs. "What does it matter? She publicly humiliated you, making it sound like you were worthless and dependent on her. You should tell everyone she’s been harassing and stalking you.”I know she’s just angry about Vanessa revealing her secrets to her parents. What she doesn't

But I believe in second chances, or at least in claiming them. I can assure you that my diamond will come back to me soon or later."

But she is mistaken if she thinks I want to be treated like a doormat again."That's amazing to hear, because I literally cannot think of another man worthy of your precious attention. It's sad that you lost Abel Blackwood once, do you think getting him back now may be a little difficult since he has found a bit of success of his own?"

A part of me liked that. I still do admire her wits, determination and sheer beauty. But she broke my heart in the worst way possible.“Want some more?” Sasha asks playfully after I finish my first mug. I shake my head as I have started to feel buzzed already. In the past few years I have discovered, my alcohol tolerance is virtually nonexistent. One drink is just about my limit.Just then, a group of her young female customers walk in, giggling and chatting excitedly. I take it as my cue to leave.“I should get going,” I say, and Sasha looks up, her brow furrowing slightly. “Not really in the mood to socialize more today.”She brightens a bit. “Would you mind stepping outside for a walk with me? I'm sure it’ll help with your moods.”I hesitate, glancing back at the giggling girls heading to the other side of the bar.“Do

Chapter: TWO- FACED FRIENDS ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POV I turn on the flat-screen television so there's noise to provide some semblance of distraction from my heated thoughts. I still feel hurt by Wensley's earlier accusations but I do feel guilty for not coming clean sooner. But how can I explain the truth when he is so quick to judge?I know I will have to deal with him sooner or later so I might as well take a drive by his place now and explain everything. The truth might hurt him more though.Twenty minutes later I am arriving at his place. There is limited parking space so I pack one block down by the side of the street and walk over to his apartment, glad to see the lights on.I go up the steps like I am going to jokingly bang inside the house, but something inside stops me.

I only agreed to that to get him out of my apartment, but I can’t let him drag my name through the mud by going to the media about my marriage with Vanessa.With a deep breath, I dial Vanessa’s private number. Since she married Cyrus he is her problem as much as he is mine. She picks up almost immediately. This will be so fucking awkward.“Hey, Vanessa... it’s Abel.”"I know. Surprised to hear from you." Her tone is so warm and welcoming.“Yeah, it's definitely surprising. Cyrus was here. He was making demands.” I inform.“What?

It even looks worse when we get to the slave quarters. Seems like the luxurious rooms and stuff we passed on our way down were only meant for the rich royals to enjoy. The slave quater they have settled us in are more worse than a criminal holding cells. It looks more of a basement or an abandoned storage room, dimly lit by two oil lamps from both ends, half broken windows with a thick layer of dust coating them, dusty conners covered with cobwebs and a door barely hanging on it's hinges.It's cold, chilly and ramshackled with a musty odour that makes you feel like puking.After a while, they bring in seven more slaves. They look disheveled but healthy, just like us. We all lie down on the thin mats provided for each of us.If we’re subjected to the same work as normal servants, without pay,we might
