"The CEO of LUCA EMPIRE ALANNA CLARKSON"
Fuck! That introduction felt so good.
I waited five fucking years to see the look on their face.
Coming back after five years of being away from the monsters I called family and the man I used to love, the father of my kids.
Nolan!
He had not changed one bit. He still had the darkest blue eyes I had ever seen.
"Alanna," someone called out, it was a voice I recognized all too well, the man who gave birth to me but also the man who called me a "Disgrace"
"Mr. Clarkson," I replied, no way I was going to give him the liberty of hearing me call him father again.
His eyes darkened, and their eyes all did, Nolan stood close to Chloe but his hands were no longer on her waist, they were inside his pocket as he stood in total awe.
Chloe looked petrified, mortified like she had just seen a ghost. In a way she just did.
We all stood, I still had a subtle smile on, I was enjoying every bit of the moment.
I had waited five excruciating long years to see the look on their faces. Now that I have, it was all worth it.
"May we all proceed inside the banquet hall," Brad spoke in a calm tone. There was Brad, also known as Bradon, the least anxious person among them. He is Nolan's stepbrother and the COO of the company.
Yes, I googled him.
I googled them all, and I did my due diligence, no way, I was coming back, without knowing what I was coming back to.
No one said another word, and we all moved to the banquet hall in silence, my Personal Assistant, Angela stood beside me and whispered.
"Is it just me, or are they all acting weird?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. She doesn't know why they are acting the way they all are.
"Well, let us just give them the benefit of the doubt,"
"I do not like the aura and atmosphere of this place,"
I smiled and walked right in without giving her a response. The hall wasn't crowded, I assume, it would only be a party for stakeholders and shareholders.
We moved to the center of the hall, and the waitress with blonde hair all handed us a glass of wine. Nolan and Chloe stood by my left, my dad and Brad by the right, while Nolan's mom walked away to greet other investors, I presume she couldn't stand the awkwardness of the situation any longer.
But I am here for all of it.
"Mrs Alanna…." Brad started, but I interrupted him almost immediately.
"Ms. Alanna," I corrected, there was a sharp glance that came from Nolan and Chloe.
"Sorry, my bad, I wasn't sure what it was, to be honest, I wasn't even expecting you to be…." he trailed off, realizing what he was about to imply.
"To be what?" I asked, But I didn't wait for an answer, "A woman?"
"Not exactly, I…. I…" he stuttered and I smiled.
"Don't worry Brad, I know it is uncommon for an industry consumed by men," I replied with a smile.
They all fell silent.
"So, did you get married to a rich old dying man who left you his wealth," Chloe finally broke the silence. The first time she was able to say actual words and she spat out words that sounded as pathetic as she was.
"Chloe," Nolan muttered, his voice barely above a whisper, he was cautioning her, more like telling her to shut up.
"What, we are all thinking it, might as well just say it," Chloe replied defensively.
I exhaled, I had expected this question, "Well, Mrs. Westbrook, " I made sure I addressed her formally because I wanted them to know I came here for business.
"I would appreciate it if we keep our interaction strictly professional, my personal life should not be questioned, I am here for business," I replied and the look on their face could send the devil back to hell.
"Yes sure, Ms. Alanna, I apologize for Chloe's question," Nolan spoke, this time more confidently, he was still gazing at me, he had not stopped gazing at me since we started this interaction, his piercing dark blue eyes locked intermittently with mine
He called her by her name, which he never used before.
"Don't apologize on my behalf Nolan," Chloe snapped and all the gaze fell on her.
I am sure she is losing her mind. Her mind is raging, her little sister comes back as a fucking CEO. Who wouldn't lose their mind?
"Can you just Shut up Chloe," Nolan whispered, but it was enough for us to hear, Chloe cast a glare at him and veered to face me. She was evidently furious. I could see the veins in her slender body contracting and her eyes twitching, her plump lips about to burst out in flames.
"Don't tell me to shut up Nolan, are we all going to pretend this is casual and not some sick attempt of Alanna to come back to Nolan's life, she slept with him before now, and she wants….." she was about to say more but Nolan interrupted her.
"Chloe stop it, you are causing a scene and you are embarrassing us all," he whispered, as more eyes were already on us, after Chloe's outburst.
"I am…" she tried to say before I interrupted her this time.
"Mrs. Westbrook, I understand your concern and can see why you are agitated, but this is far from reality and just a figment of your active imagination,"
"Active imagination? oh please spare me the diplomacy, Alanna,"
"As I mentioned earlier, I am here for business, and I do not want to mix up my personal and professional life, so I know this might be hard for you to do, but can you try to be diplomatic?" I spoke in a calm tone.
Chloe stared at everyone who was in turn glancing back at her, waiting for her response.
"Oh please, I am going to get a fucking drink, since we all want to act like this is normal," she declares and storms away. Nolan turned, but my father held his hands and stopped him from going after her.
"Let me talk to her," he muttered, of course, he would want to talk to her. She was always his favorite. He disappeared into the crowd to find Chloe. It was just Nolan, Brad, Angela, and I now.
"Can I get some of the legal paperwork for you?" Brad asked, trying to shift back the tone to a professional one.
"Please give it to my assistant Angela," I replied.
"Follow me please, Angela," he requested and she nodded and trailed after him.
It was just me and Nolan now!
Fuck!
"Alanna" he called out my name and all my knees went weak.

NOLANAlanna is driving me the fuck crazy. I mean, I am losing my fucking mind standing here before her. She has changed, she is different. She is no longer the girl I used to know before. "Oh please, I am going to get a fucking drink, since we all want to act like this is normal," Chloe declares and storms away. I wasn't going to go after her, I had had enough of her drama for one night, of course, she wasn't being overly dramatic this time. In fact, her reaction is justified, I am trying not to allow my "Active imagination" as Alanna said to Chloe fly, else I would have been reacting the exact way Chloe is. Ouch, Alanna, that was just stone-cold rude. But I am losing my mind, how did she go from the helpless girl I married to this sophisticated, elegant woman right here? Her eyes were still the brightest hazel green eyes I have ever gazed upon, her body was no longer slender, it was fully rounded, her breasts were more round now, her waist thinner and her butt firmer, and

ALANNAThe look on Nolan's face when I announced I had 40 percent shares of his company was priceless. "This bitch," I could see Chloe mouth out the curse, her face consumed with spite and rage. I couldn't care less about Chloe. When I reached out to other investors to acquire their shares, I kept it quiet, I didn't want to come back as a shareholder, I wanted to come back as a major one. I sauntered down the podium as applause came from every angle of the hall. I walked down to where Nolan stood, he was still dumbfounded. "As a major shareholder, I would be coming about the company often, I will require an office," I paused, Brad was scribbling down all my requests in a notepad while Nolan stared at me. Chloe was already drunk, staggering to stand on her stilettos, while my father held her for balance. "You know what, I will just have my assistant Angela email all that to you, this would include your accounts, your numbers, I want to see them all,"Nolan's eyes widened in di

NOLAN"That fucking bitch, who the fuck does she think she is coming back from the dead…." I tuned Chloe's voice out, she had been cursing and spitting all kinds of words since we left the banquet hall. I was a little bit tipsy, I regretted having that shot of alcohol. I had not drunk liquor since the night of the drunken sex with Alanna. But today, I was so angry and anxious at the same time. All kinds of emotions flooded my being with Alanna's return. At one point, I was kind of happy to see her, she looked so elegant and beautiful. A lot had changed about her, but when she decided to play dirty and go to my shareholders to obtain their shares, all I could feel was anger. I worked my ass off to get the company to where it is now, after my father almost ruined it, with debt and embezzling funds, and investors were pulling out. But here comes Alanna from nowhere, owing a major share of the company I sweat day in and out to keep afloat. "Are you even listening to me?" Chloe asked,

ALANNAI hate this fucking town, no wonder I left. Coming back to this town and being the headline for one week was not the sort of attention I wanted, especially when I still have a lot of secret hidden away in my closet. I got out of the car and there were reporters everywhere, "Ms. Alanna, do you plan on getting back together with your ex-husband?" the slender body reporter asked, I sighed, I wasn't going to grace them with any form of response. We kept strong toward the building as they kept asking questions. "Do you plan to take away your sister's husband?" another reporter asked. I rolled my eyes, all they want to know is that. “I hate reporters and their no sense of privacy,” Angela continued with her whining as we made our way up the elevator of the Westbrook empire. "You need to get used to it, now that we are in the spotlight, you need to learn to deal with them," I muttered as we got into the elevator and Angela pressed the button leading up to the third floor.

NOLANAlanna would be the death of me, Alanna drives me crazy, literally, I am going crazy just staring at her. Why did she come back? To make me pay for all I did to her? To make me suffer? To make me want her more than I have ever wanted her before? "So let us start with why over two billion dollars of funds are unaccounted for in your account," a smirk formed on her face. Alanna is evil, she is the she-devil, here to drag me to hell with her.Brad swallowed, this was no news to any of us, we all knew about the missing fund, it took selling my soul to the devil to keep the company afloat and by the devil, I mean Alanna, if not for the missing fund, we would have not been looking for more investors and we would have not partnered with LUCA empire which turns out to be Alanna’s company.“Ms. Alanna can we discuss this in the office maybe some other time?” Brad spoke out, coming to our rescue, I was still trying to find my words and pacing, this is the effect Alanna has on me, she t

ALANNA"Does it remind you of when you called out my name, begging me to continue,"Nolan has always been the object of my every desire, whenever I wanted to get sexually aroused, Nolan’s face appears. He had been the only man who had touched me, who I ever wanted to touch me.My heart melts at Nolan’s name, my mind sink to the abyss of my innermost dirtiest desire at the mention of Nolan’s name."Mr. Westbrook" I was pleading, I knew I was at my breaking point, he was pushing me to the wall, pushing every buttons, he knew his game, he was poking me at the place I couldn’t resist"Does it remind you of when you asked me to stop but wanted more." he mutters with a stern look, there was something deadly about his gaze.I should have walked away, run, or gotten the fuck out of here, but I didn’t.

NOLAN "But if you try to get in my way, I will make sure I burn bridges and I don't mind if you are on it," she threatened. She meant it, every single word. There was something sinister about the way she looked at me, I can almost say she stared at me with evil intent. "Alanna I am not here to start a war with you," I commented, trying to keep my voice as low as possible, trying to stop the rage and anger that was already boiling inside of me. "Neither am I, Mr. Westbrook,"I rolled my eyes, again with this formality, earlier on when she called my name, I could see all the desire in them when she did. Call me crazy, but she had the same look when I would pin her to the wall, raise her nightgown and fuck her from behind while she moans to the wall loudly in all ferocity. "Then why are you digging into our account to find dirt on me?" I asked and she chuckled."There wasn't really much of digging, it wasn't hidden, even a blind man might see it if he looks harder,"And suddenly, a

ALANNA I am so exhausted, mentally and sexually.I have been craving sex so badly since I came back to this fucking town, my hormones have been raging. Was it the Nolan effect? Being in the same town with your ex-husband, the only man you have ever been with. That has to be sexually exhausting in some way. "Ms Alanna, are we going to pick up the twins?" Angela asked and a smile curved on my lips, my babies, my little bundle of joy. When I left Nolan and had my children, they became my life, my all, Lucas and Lucy, they became the essence of my existence. "Can you go ahead and pick them up, there are some things I need to take care of, I will meet you at home," I replied to her. She nodded and went ahead of me, she was good with the kids and it helped that they were also fond of her. Being a single mother and a top business owner can be exhausting, my mind flickers to the fact that I would be doing a whole lot now trying to hide away the children from their father, Nolan.I was a

After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge EPILOGUE
ALANNAStanding at the back of the church, the soft melody of the wedding march echoing through the air.

Life has a strange way of leading you exactly where you need to be, even when you fight it every step of the way.Pedro, my rock, my father in every way that mattered, stood beside me.

After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge CLOSURE
NOLAN"Closure doesn't come from forgetting the past but from facing it head-on."The wind blew softly as we stood at Chloe's grave, the air filled with the scent of freshly turned earth and the distant hum of the city. It had taken us a long time to get here, to stand at this place with a sense of peace instead of anger or regret. I looked down at the headstone, its cold surface a stark reminder of all that had happened, all that we had lost and gained.In my arms, little Chloe stirred, her tiny hands grasping at the air. She was so innocent, unaware of the twisted history that brought her into this world. But that was how it would stay. Alanna and I had promised each other that this child, this beautiful little girl, would never know the darkness that shadowed her birth. She would be loved, cherished, and protected from the truth that could shatter her world.Alanna knelt beside the grave, placing a single white rose on the headstone. Her voice was soft, but there was strength in it
After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge CHOICES
ALANNAWhen Lucas stepped out of the shadows, gun in hand, my heart clenched with a fear I hadn’t felt in years. The happiness of moments before—Nolan’s proposal, the promises of a future together—seemed to shatter like glass around us. All I could see was Lucas, his face twisted with rage and pain, his eyes filled with a darkness that sent chills down my spine.It was as if everything we’d gone through, every battle we’d fought, was leading up to this moment. But instead of feeling strong, I felt vulnerable, exposed. Lucas was no longer the boy I once knew. He was a man consumed by hatred, and that hatred was directed at me.“You came into my life and took everything,” Lucas snarled, his voice trembling with barely suppressed anger. “You took my family, you took the only love I had ever known, and now you’ve ruined everything!”I tried to find the right words, something that could reach him, something that could make him see reason. But nothing came. All I could do was stand there, f

ALANNA"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies."Shopping with Angela was just the distraction I needed. The weight of everything—Nolan’s court case, the uncertainty of our future—had been pressing down on me like a storm cloud. But here, in the brightly lit aisles, surrounded by the scent of fresh clothes and the chatter of happy customers, I felt lighter. Angela had a way of making even the most mundane tasks feel like an adventure.We wandered through racks of dresses, holding up options and debating the merits of each one. Angela was in the middle of showing me a deep red dress when she suddenly paused, a small smile playing on her lips.“Jake asked me to move in with him.”The words hung in the air between us, and I felt a surge of happiness for her. “He did? That’s amazing, Angela! How do you feel about it?”Angela looked thoughtful, her fingers brushing the fabric of the dress she was holding. “I don’t know. I mean, I love him, and I can see a future with him.
After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge Justice
Nolan"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."The courthouse loomed before me, a symbol of the justice I’d been seeking ever since that fateful day. The memories of what Brad had done—of what he’d put my family through—played on a loop in my mind. There was no forgetting the fear in Alanna’s eyes, the sound of the gunshot, the moment when everything nearly ended for us. Today was about more than just a verdict; it was about setting things right, about reclaiming the peace that Brad had stolen from us.As I sat in the courtroom, the weight of the moment settled heavily on my shoulders. This wasn’t just about me. It was about Alanna, about our children, about the future we’d almost lost. I glanced over at Alanna, who was seated beside me. Her hand rested in mine, her grip tight and unyielding. We had come this far together, and we were going to see it through to the end.Mr. Collins, my lawyer, stood and approached the stand where I was seated. He was calm, composed, the
After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge Family
ALANNA“Family isn't just about blood; it's about who stands by you when the world falls apart."As we walked into the restaurant, the warm glow of the lights and the soft hum of conversation made me feel at ease. This place, with its cozy ambiance and inviting atmosphere, was perfect for the first dinner we’d have together as a family—one that finally felt whole. I glanced around at everyone, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. It had been a whirlwind of emotions since discovering the truth about my past, and now, here we were, trying to create something new from the ashes of what once was.Nolan squeezed my hand gently as we approached our table. He could sense my nerves and, as always, knew exactly what I needed—a reminder that I wasn’t alone in this. The kids ran ahead, excited to see the menu and all the possibilities it promised. Mrs. Westbrook, who had become such a steady presence in our lives, followed behind them, her eyes twinkling with affection as she watched
After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge THE TRUTH
ALANNAALANNA*"The truth is like a slow-burning fuse—inevitable and explosive, lighting up the darkest corners of our past."*The air in the room felt heavy, laden with the weight of all the secrets that had been suffocating us for years. Chloe's father sat across from me, his eyes tired and red, as if he had been wrestling with his conscience for a long time. I knew this conversation would change everything, yet I wasn’t prepared for what was coming.For so long, I had lived under the shadow of a truth I didn’t fully understand. I knew that the people I had called my parents weren’t truly mine, but beyond that, there was only darkness—a void that left me feeling lost and incomplete. Today, it seemed, that void was about to be filled.He took a deep breath, as if trying to steady himself for what he was about to reveal. "Alanna, I owe you the truth, even though it's a truth I've buried for far too long. You see, your real parents—they weren’t who you thought they were."I nodded, my

ALANNA“Some truths are too heavy to bear, but they must be carried nonetheless.”The phone rang late in the evening. Nolan and I were curled up on the couch, enjoying a rare moment of peace. When he saw Chloe’s name flash across the screen, he hesitated, the tension immediately creeping back into his shoulders. He glanced at me, his brows furrowed in concern.“I’ll answer,” I offered, knowing that whatever she had to say would weigh on him. He handed me the phone, relief mingled with worry in his eyes.“Hello?” I tried to keep my voice steady, but my mind raced with possibilities. Why was she calling now?“Alanna,” Chloe’s voice was weak, almost unrecognizable. There was an urgency in her tone that sent a chill down my spine. “I’m at the hospital. I need you and Nolan to come… please, it’s important.”Before I could respond, she hung up. I stared at the phone, my mind reeling.“What did she say?” Nolan’s voice broke through my thoughts.“She’s at the hospital. She wants us to come… N

NOLANI don't want this night to end," I murmured, my lips brushing against her ear. The words hung in the air, heavy with meaning and longing. I looked into Alanna's deep blue eyes, and I knew she felt the same way."Then let's not let it end," Alanna whispered back, her fingers trailing down my chest, leaving a trail of fire in their wake. The touch of her hands on my skin sent a shiver of anticipation running through me. I couldn't resist her any longer. I swept her off her feet, carrying her up the stairs to our bedroom, where we could forget about the rest of the world and just be with each other.I couldn't help but think about how far we had come. It wasn't just about the physical connection, though that was incredible. It was about the way she looked at me, the way she touched me, the way she made me feel. I knew that I had found something special with Alanna, something that I never wanted to let go of.I kissed her deeply, my tongue exploring her mouth as our bodies pressed t
