The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge
"You are out of my league!"
Aurora Lancaster’s world shattered the day her boyfriend, Ethan Calloway, left her for another woman. She had given him everything—her love, her loyalty, even her trust—but in the end, he discarded her like trash. Worse, he took everything from her, including the company they built together. What Ethan never knew was that Aurora wasn’t just an ordinary woman—she was an heiress who had abandoned her privileged life for him.
Broken and betrayed, Aurora returned to her family, only to find that regaining their acceptance came at a cost. To reclaim her place, she agreed to marry Lucian Blackwood, a man with power, wealth, and secrets of his own.
Now, armed with the AI system she had created years ago and with Lucian’s unexpected support, Aurora is determined to take back everything Ethan stole—and make him pay for what he did. But as she carries out her revenge, she begins to realize that Lucian isn’t just helping her; he has his own vendetta to settle.
What is Lucian’s true motive? And when the lines between revenge, loyalty, and love blur, Aurora is faced with an impossible choice.
Will she follow her heart once again, or will she finally fight for her family and herself?

Chapter: Chapter 152: The BrotherAurora barely had time to think as she rushed through the grand hallway, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. Every second felt like an eternity, and every breath was filled with a sense of urgency. Loyd was out there, somewhere, trapped in the hands of a man she had thought was long dead.Lester Aldric.The name sent a shiver down her spine. She had spent the last few hours wrestling with the shock of it, but there was no time for hesitation now. If what Red had found was true, then Lester was alive, and he was the one behind her son’s kidnapping.She clutched her phone tightly in her hand as she stormed toward the front door. She was going to end this.But just as she reached the entrance, the heavy doors swung open, and Lucian stepped inside.Aurora’s breath hitched.Lucian was dressed in a sharp black suit, his tie loosened slightly as though he had rushed here. His golden eyes immediately locked onto her, dark with intensity. The moment he saw her standing there,

Chapter: Chapter 151: The KidnapperAurora hadn’t slept for hours. The weight of the situation had turned her mind into a whirlwind of thoughts, none of them bringing any comfort. The room felt suffocating, the silence deafening. It was the kind of silence that screamed for answers—answers that she still didn’t have.She sat in front of her laptop, staring at the screen as Red’s interface blinked at her, its cheerful emoji face betraying the severity of the situation.“Find him, Red. Find Loyd,” she whispered, her voice hoarse from the strain of the past 24 hours.Her hands moved across the keys, the same commands over and over again. Every search, every trace led to a dead end. Loyd’s whereabouts were still a mystery. The police were still investigating, but they had no leads. No clues. The frustration gnawed at her like a beast trying to break free from its cage.Every second felt like an eternity. Every thought was a question. Where is my son?Her mind wandered to the last time she’d held him, kissed his forehead, t

Chapter: Chapter 150: KidnappedAurora sat in the living room, her hands gripping her phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white. The room was filled with police officers, their radios buzzing, their voices low but urgent as they coordinated the search for Loyd.But it wasn’t fast enough.Nothing was fast enough.Her baby was missing.Her heart pounded erratically in her chest, her breathing uneven.Loyd.Where was he? Was he scared? Was he crying for her?The thought made her stomach churn.She forced herself to stay strong. She couldn’t afford to fall apart—not now.Taking a shaky breath, she pressed the call button.Lucian picked up on the first ring.“Aurora,” he said, his voice sharp, controlled—but she could hear the underlying panic.“It’s Loyd,” she choked out.“I know.”There was silence for a brief moment. Then—“I’ll handle it.”Aurora clenched her jaw. “We need to tell the police—”“No.” Lucian’s voice was firm, cutting her off.She frowned. “Lucian, they can help—”“They won’t,” he bit out. “They’l

Chapter: Chapter 149: FailedLucian clenched his fists, his jaw tightening as he paced his office.His plan had failed.Aurora knew everything now.He had wanted to protect her—to handle this mess before she ever found out. But now, the fragile trust they had rebuilt was at risk of shattering.Lucian slammed his fist against his desk, his chest heaving.Damn it.He never wanted to invest in CRS Holdings. Never wanted to be involved with Don Ramon again. But the old man had forced his hand. Blackmail.If Lucian hadn’t complied, Don Ramon would have unleashed something far worse.And now?Now, he was losing Aurora.A bitter taste filled his mouth as he grabbed his suit jacket. He couldn’t let this continue.He had made a mistake, but he could still fix it.He was going to see Don Ramon.And this time, he was cutting ties for good.—Don Ramon sat comfortably in his leather chair, swirling a glass of whiskey in his hand. His gray eyes gleamed with amusement as Lucian stormed into his office.“Well, well,” the older

Chapter: Chapter 148: Don Ramon's workAurora’s heart pounded as she watched Red process her request. The AI’s animated face flickered for a few seconds before its voice chimed through her AirPods.“Scanning for data… Please wait, Master.”Her grip on the iPad tightened.She didn’t know what she was expecting. Maybe she wanted Red to tell her that this was all a mistake—that Don Ramon was still locked away where he belonged. That someone was playing a sick joke on her.But she knew better.The locket in the black box had been real. And Don Ramon wouldn’t send something like that unless he wanted her to know he was free.Minutes passed in tense silence. Aurora sat frozen at her desk, her mind racing.She had spent years trying to rebuild her life after everything he had done. She had buried the past. She had fought through her pain, through her anger, and finally, she had found peace.But now?Now, he was back.Red’s voice pulled her from her spiraling thoughts.“Search complete! Displaying results now.”Aurora’s screen fli

Chapter: Chapter 147: The Old LocketFor days, Aurora had refused to speak to Lucian. She had seen his messages, the calls he left unanswered, but she ignored them all.It wasn’t that she had decided to cancel the wedding. No, she still wanted to marry him. But she needed time to think.The past still hurt.Because of Don Ramon, she lost her father. Because of him, their family had nearly lost everything.And worst of all, her mother had suffered the most. It had taken years for Carmela to even tolerate Lucian’s presence in their lives, and that was only because of her and Loyd.If Carmela found out that Lucian had kept Don Ramon’s release a secret?Aurora clenched her jaw. She would be devastated.She thought she had reached her limit. That nothing could make this worse.But then—a package arrived.A small black box, wrapped in a blood-red ribbon.At first, she thought it was a wedding gift. A well-wisher, perhaps. Or maybe even Lucian, trying to make amends for what he had done.But the moment she opened it, a wave of

Chapter: Chapter 16: Confusion Third-Person POV"That bitch! Does she really think she's better than me?!" Lucille spat angrily.Her brows nearly met as rage consumed her. Even now, she couldn't believe that Eloise had outshined her.It wasn’t even a real competition, yet she still couldn't accept losing."Her painting wasn’t even that good! What did Grandpa see in it?!" she fumed, taking a long sip of her wine.Angelo sighed, lounging on the couch. Across from him, his mother, Agatta, sat quietly, listening to Lucille’s rants.They had retreated to a private room, leaving the party guests behind."Relax, Lucille. It was just a friendly competition," Angelo said.Lucille whirled to face him, her glare sharp."Friendly competition? You don't understand, Angelo! I lost! Not just in front of everyone—but to Sebastian and Grandpa!" she blurted.She strode toward them and slumped into a single-seater sofa, crossing her

Chapter: Chapter 15: The Winner My heart pounded as I stood in front of the painting I had just completed.Everyone was eagerly waiting to see what we had created.I glanced at Lucille, who was still smirking, her arms crossed over her chest, exuding confidence.“Well, well, well. Let’s see your pieces now!” Angelo announced, sounding like the host of an event.Lucille immediately raised her hands.“Let me go first!” she said excitedly.I remained silent, standing still as I watched them. From the corner of my eye, I noticed Sebastian’s worried gaze.I knew he had no faith in me. He was probably afraid I would embarrass myself.But I was not Celeste.I was confident in my art, even if I didn’t win today.Lucille turned to me with a smirk.“Are you ready to lose, Celeste?” she taunted.I gave her a small smile.“Good luck, Lucille,” I said.She rolled her eyes and lifted her painting. With the he

Chapter: Chapter 14: The Paint-off I was taken aback when Angelo suggested it.Not because I was afraid, but because I wasn’t used to painting in front of an audience.Sebastian cleared his throat.“I don’t think it’s necessary, Angelo,” he said.Angelo smirked.“Why? Afraid your wife will lose?” he taunted, clearly mocking not just me but Sebastian as well.I couldn't help but sense the tension between them. There was definitely bad blood.Sebastian’s eyes narrowed, and I immediately noticed the way his jaw clenched.“You know your stepbrother, dear. He’s always been afraid of everything,” Agatta added with a sneer.I swallowed hard. They were deliberately provoking him.I was about to speak, but before I could, Lucille interjected.“I don’t think Sebastian is afraid,” she said, feigning concern. “I’m sure he’s just worried his wife will embarrass herself. For all we know, she didn’t even paint those artworks.”My brow arche

Chapter: Chapter 13: The Grandfather Sebastian’s frown never left his face the entire time we were together. He also never left my side.I wanted to talk to him about what he said earlier, but I chose to stay silent instead.I could feel it—he was angry.And besides, I couldn't stop thinking about that woman from earlier.Lucille Johnson.I wasn’t familiar with her, but I knew the Johnsons.Like the Whitmores and the Everharts, they were a prominent family.A wealthy and influential one.I wonder why she looked so shocked when she found out I was Sebastian’s wife.The party started.Guests began swarming the front, eager to greet the birthday celebrant.“Come on. Let’s greet my grandfather.”Before I could even react, Sebastian grabbed my hand and pulled me forward.The people near the front instinctively stepped aside, making way for an elderly man seated in an imposing chair—almost like a throne.His appearance bore the clear marks of age—wrinkled skin and white hair—but his posture remained strong, his aura commanding

Chapter: Chapter 12: UnreasonableEloise’s POVI blinked rapidly when I saw Sebastian.His jaw was clenched, his sharp gaze locked onto the man who had his arm around me earlier. His grip on the man's wrist was tight, yanking it away from me with force.Honestly, I hadn’t expected them to approach me so suddenly, let alone hug me out of nowhere.I had politely asked them to let me go, but the man had insisted on talking to me.I could tell something was off about them. I could smell the alcohol on their breath.Thankfully, Sebastian saw me.I felt relieved.But when he turned to me, the fury in his eyes didn’t waver.I swallowed hard, suddenly feeling uneasy.“Didn’t you learn to stay away from someone else’s wife?” Sebastian asked coldly.The man blinked, his eyes widening in shock as he finally realized who Sebastian was.“M-Mr. Whitmore! We’re sorry! We didn’t know she was your wife!” he stammered.Sebastian shoved him away aggressively.“Now you do!”The men scrambled to leave, disappearing into the crowd.I swall

Chapter: Chapter 11: Jealousy Sebastian’s POV I arrived early at the Grand Hotel. The place was already crowded, and I had spoken to several people. As expected, my wife wasn’t here yet. I just hoped she wouldn’t be late this time. This was an important event. My grandfather—the elder of the Whitmore family—was a man of dignity and authority. We all respected him. Most of the decisions concerning our family came from him. “Sebastian!” I turned to the side when I heard a familiar voice. Lucille Johnson. The only daughter of the Johnson family. The Johnsons had been longtime family friends, and ever since we were young, Lucille had made it clear that she liked me. I turned to her. “Lucille.” “Oh, Sebastian! I missed you!” she said, throwing her arms around me as if we weren’t in the middle of a formal event. I smirked slightly and casually removed her hands from me. “I didn’t know you were back already.” Lucille smiled sweetly. “I wouldn’t miss your grandfather’s birthday. Plus, I’ve been hearing rum
