SCORNED EX WIFE : Queen Of Ashes
Camille Lewis was the forgotten daughter, the unloved wife, the woman discarded like yesterday’s news. Betrayed by her husband, cast aside by her own family, and left for dead by the sister who stole everything, she vanished without a trace.
But the weak, naive Camille died the night her car was forced off that bridge.
A year later, she returns as Camille Kane, richer, colder, and more powerful than anyone could have imagined. Armed with wealth, intelligence, and a hunger for vengeance, she is no longer the woman they once trampled on. She is the storm that will tear their world apart.
Her ex-husband begs for forgiveness. Her sister’s perfect life crumbles. Her parents regret the daughter they cast aside. But Camille didn’t come back for apologies, she came back to watch them burn.
But as her enemies fall at her feet, one question remains: when the revenge is over, what’s left?
A mysterious trillionaire Alexander Pierce steps into her path, offering something she thought she lost forever, a future. But can a woman built on ashes learn to love again?
She rose from the fire to destroy those who betrayed her. Now, she must decide if she’ll rule alone… or let someone melt the ice in her heart.

Chapter: Chapter 29Chapter 29CAMILLE'S POINT OF VIEWThe engagement party filled the screen before me, bright lights and beautiful people swirling in celebration. I sat motionless in Victoria's guest suite, hands folded in my lap, breathing measured despite the storm in my chest. Three cameras captured the event from different angles, ensuring not a single moment of joy would go undocumented.Joy for them. Torture for me.The Rodriguez family estate had been transformed into a fairytale setting, white roses everywhere, crystal chandeliers hanging from pavilions, string quartet playing softly. Two hundred guests in designer formal wear, champagne flowing freely, laughter rising into the night air.And at the center of it all, Rose and Stefan. My sister and my ex-husband."The engagement of the year," the entertainment reporter gushed. "Stefan Rodriguez, heir to the Rodriguez shipping fortune, and renowned fashion designer Rose Lewis have finally made their relationship official after a respectful period

Chapter: Chapter 28Chapter 28ROSE'S POINT OF VIEW"You've been distant lately," I said, stirring my coffee with practiced precision. Three clockwise turns, no more, no less. Morning sunlight streamed through the windows of Stefan's penthouse, our penthouse now, though I maintained my own apartment for appearance's sake.Eight months since Camille's "death." Eight months of nurturing Stefan through grief, providing just enough comfort to keep him dependent without allowing him to fully heal. A delicate balance, but one I'd mastered through years of subtle manipulation.Stefan looked up from his newspaper, dark circles beneath his eyes betraying another sleepless night. "Have I? Sorry. Work's been demanding."A lie. His family company practically ran itself, generations of wealth ensuring he needed to do little more than show up for board meetings and sign occasional papers. No, what kept him awake wasn't work but guilt. The gift that kept giving."I worry about you," I reached across the table, taking h

Chapter: Chapter 27CAMILLE'S POINT OF VIEW"Neurix Technologies," Victoria said, sliding the folder across her desk. "Twenty-seven employees. Promising neural interface technology. Currently entertaining acquisition offers.""And?" I asked, waiting for the catch. With Victoria, there was always a catch."And you'll be handling the acquisition." She leaned back, expression unreadable. "Alone."My heart stuttered. After eight months of shadowing Victoria at Kane Industries, this was my first real test."Their valuation?""They're asking ninety million. They're worth sixty-five, at most. I want them for fifty.""When do negotiations begin?""Two hours. The meeting is set for eleven at our downtown offices."My head snapped up. "Today? You're giving me two hours to prepare?"A small, cold smile played at her mouth. "In business, opportunities rarely announce themselves weeks in advance. Besides, you've had eight months of preparation.""Who am I negotiating against?""Marcus Whitfield."The name hit me like

Chapter: Chapter 26STEFAN'S POINT OF VIEWThe bourbon burned down my throat, a welcome fire against the cold emptiness spreading through my chest. I signaled the bartender for another. My fourth? Fifth? I'd lost count hours ago."You sure about that, buddy?" he asked, eyeing the empty glasses."Just pour the damn drink," I growled.The alcohol couldn't drown the words that had haunted me all day: Martin Greene reading Camille's will, her final message cutting through me like a blade.*"To my former husband, Stefan Rodriguez, I return the engagement ring that belonged to his grandmother, with the hope that next time he gives it, it will be with honesty and true devotion."*The ring sat heavy in my pocket, retrieved from the safety deposit box this morning. Grandmother Rosa's ring. Three generations of Rodriguez women had worn it before I'd placed it on Camille's finger, promising forever with words that turned to ash in my mouth.Thirty million dollars and the Cedar Hill estate. All of it to charity. Not

Chapter: Chapter 25ROSE'S POINT OF VIEWI slammed my apartment door so hard the walls shook. The sound echoed through the empty space, matching the thunder in my heart. My hands shook as I poured myself a drink, spilling expensive whiskey on the marble counter."Damn you, Camille," I whispered, then screamed it: "DAMN YOU!"The crystal glass flew from my hand, shattering against the wall in a spray of amber liquid and broken dreams. Thirty million dollars. The Cedar Hill estate. All of it gone to those worthless foster kids.My legs gave out and I slid to the kitchen floor, surrounded by the mess I'd made. Just like my life - everything perfect on the surface, chaos underneath. And now Camille, sweet, stupid Camille, had managed to ruin everything even from the grave."You think you're so clever, don't you?" I spoke to the empty air, imagining her ghost watching me fall apart. "Little Miss Perfect with her secret fortune. Did you laugh about it? Did you enjoy knowing you had something I didn't?"I grabb

Chapter: Chapter 24ROSE'S POINT OF VIEWThe law office of Berkman, Wade, and Associates smelled of leather, money, and superiority. I adjusted my black dress and studied the others in the conference room. Mom dabbed at her eyes with a monogrammed handkerchief. Dad stared blankly at the polished table. Stefan sat apart from us, face drawn and pale.All of us performing our assigned roles. The grieving family. The heartbroken ex-husband. A perfect tableau of loss.And why wouldn't we? Camille was dead. I knew that for certain. The men I'd hired hadn't just scared her as originally planned, they'd gone further, forcing her car off that bridge, watching it sink into the dark water. They'd called me afterward, panic in their voices. I'd paid them extra for their silence, then cut all contact.Martin Greene entered, carrying a leather portfolio. Dad's longtime lawyer looked appropriately grave as he took a seat."Thank you all for coming," he said. "With the court having legally declared Camille deceased in a

His chest tightened. "I was wrong. I know that now, but..."
"But it’s too late," she snapped. "I’m not the helpless girl you left behind. I’ve come back for what's mine."

RISE OF THE EX WIFE : Mona's Revenge
SYNOPSIS
They thought breaking her would destroy her.
They were wrong.
It made her dangerous.
For five years, Mona Smith endured humiliation as Samuel Caldwell's wife. Despite her efforts, his family never accepted her.
Until one night changed everything.
"Get out," Emily Caldwell said, red wine dripping from Mona's dress. "You were never one of us."
Accused of theft and abandoned by her husband, Mona was cast out with nothing.
But the Caldwells made one mistake: they let her live.
When Alexander Kane, the world's youngest trillionaire, offers a deal, marry him for the power to destroy those who ruined her, Mona accepts.
Revenge becomes her purpose as she enters Alexander's ruthless world. But as she rises, she discovers his secrets and plans far more dangerous than she imagined.
This isn't just about revenge anymore.
It's about power, justice, and truths that could destroy them both.
In a world where every smile hides a knife, Mona must decide: Will she burn her enemies to the ground, or lose herself in Alexander's dangerous game?
Because the most dangerous person isn't the one with power, it's the one with nothing left to lose.
And Mona Smith has everything to prove.

"You wanted me broken?" Mona whispers, sliding on a diamond ring worth more than the Caldwells' fortune. "Now watch me tear your perfect world apart."

Chapter: Chapter 50Chapter 50The Roosevelt Grand Hotel's ballroom glittered like a jewel box. Crystal chandeliers cast golden light over six hundred of the city's elite, gathered for the annual Children's Hospital Benefit Gala. Women in designer gowns and priceless jewels mingled with men in tuxedos discussing million-dollar deals while pretending to care about charity.Mona Kane stood at the entrance, Alexander's hand at the small of her back. Her midnight blue gown caught the light, tiny crystals twinkling like stars. A year ago, she had been homeless. Now she commanded attention just by entering a room."Ready?" Alexander whispered.Mona spotted Harold Jenkins, CEO of Pacific Partners and the Caldwells' second-largest client."Ready," she replied, her voice steady despite the storm inside her.They descended the marble staircase, heads turning. The whispers followed, not mocking whispers like those that had once trailed her at Caldwell events, but awed murmurs acknowledging their power."Alexander a

Emily Caldwell stood with her arm extended, chest heaving, hair falling from its perfect arrangement."Four generations!" she screamed. "Four generations of building something magnificent, and you've destroyed it in less than a month!"Samuel sat at the far end of the dining table, head in his hands. The newspaper before him proclaimed: "CALDWELL INDUSTRIES FACES FEDERAL INVESTIGATION AS STOCK PLUMMETS 70%.""Say something!" Emily demanded, grabbing another vase."What would you like me to say, Mother? That you were right? Would that fix anything?"The second vase exploded against the wall in a shower of glass and lilies.Lora entered in a silk bathrobe, eyes swollen from crying. "The Governor canceled our dinner.

Chapter: Chapter 48The Bennett Corporation headquarters stretched toward the clouds, a monument of glass and steel. In the corner office on the top floor, nineteen-year-old James Bennett slouched in his grandfather's leather chair, spinning in slow circles as Mona reviewed financial documents."This is so boring," James groaned. "When do I get to do the fun stuff? Like fire people or buy a yacht."Mona looked up, hiding her irritation behind a patient smile. James had the same entitled attitude she'd once found in Samuel, the casual arrogance of someone who had never earned anything."Running a company isn't about yachts, James. It's about responsibility. Thousands of people depend on Bennett Corporation for their livelihoods."James snorted. "That's what I have executives for. To handle the boring parts."Mona walked to the window. The city sprawled below them, a maze where ordinary people lived ordinary lives. She'd been one of them once, after the Caldwells threw her out."Let me tell you about a wom

Chapter: Chapter 47Chapter 47The Caldwell Industries boardroom, typically a place of ordered power and quiet confidence, had transformed into a battleground. Twelve men and women in expensive suits sat around the gleaming mahogany table, faces tight with worry. The floor-to-ceiling windows that normally showcased the impressive city view now seemed to emphasize how far they all might fall.Samuel Caldwell stood at the head of the table, his silk tie crooked and hair disheveled. Dark half-circles hung beneath his eyes. The stock ticker displayed on the wall-mounted screen showed numbers bleeding red - each minute bringing fresh losses."Our shares have dropped another fifteen percent since market open," he said, his voice struggling to maintain steadiness. "That brings our total losses to nearly sixty percent in two days."Gregory Wilson, the oldest board member and former college roommate of Richard Caldwell, removed his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

Chapter: Chapter 46Chapter 46Mona stood on the penthouse balcony watching the sunset paint the sky in fiery oranges and deep purples. The city stretched below her, a sprawling empire of glass and steel where somewhere, the Caldwells were scrambling to save themselves. A smile touched her lips as a warm breeze caught her hair.Behind her, the penthouse was unusually quiet. Alexander had sent the staff away hours ago, something he rarely did. She'd spent the afternoon in meetings with the Bennett Corporation, helping young James navigate his new responsibilities while cementing the Kane-Bennett partnership. The work kept her busy, but her thoughts constantly drifted to the chaos unfolding at Caldwell Enterprises."Enjoying the view?" Alexander's voice came from behind her.She turned to find him standing in the doorway, his tie loosened, sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He looked less like the fearsome business titan the world knew and more like the man only she got to see."The city looks beautiful toni

Chapter: Chapter 45Chapter 45The morning sun bathed the Caldwell mansion in golden light, but inside the grand dining room, storm clouds gathered. Samuel Caldwell's phone rang for the fifth time in thirty minutes. He glanced at the screen, grimaced, and silenced it again."Will you answer that infernal thing?" Emily snapped, tapping her perfectly manicured nails against her teacup. "The noise is ruining my breakfast."Samuel loosened his tie. Sweat beaded on his forehead despite the room's perfect temperature. "It's Jim Harrington. Our biggest investor."Emily's fork clattered against fine china. "And why would he call at this ungodly hour?"Before Samuel could answer, Sarah burst into the room, still in her silk pajamas, clutching her tablet. Her face was pale, eyes wide with panic."Have you seen the news?" She thrust the tablet toward her parents. "Davidson Shipping is under federal investigation!"The blood drained from Samuel's face as he grabbed the device. The headline screamed across the screen
