“Sign the papers, you devil!” Elena snarled with a curse. “Are you blind to see that you’re no longer needed here?” Sylvia Winchester had it all—money, power, a loving family—until she threw it all away for a man who would give her the world. After being married to him for four years of abuse and exploitation, Sylvia finds herself divorced, broken, and penniless. Left with nothing, she returned to her father’s house and began the race to win back her birthright as the heiress to Winchester Enterprises. Sylvia was welcomed home and given a condition to assume the new CEO of the family company – only if she accepted to marry Douglas Brooks – the youngest and wealthiest billionaire in the city. She hesitantly accepted the proposal, taking it as ‘just business.’ But with time, the arranged marriage turned into what she’d always wanted in a relationship. At the company’s night event to usher her in as the Heiress and the new CEO of Winchester Enterprises, and as expected she met the presence of her ex-husband and his new girlfriend. They were shocked to their bones when Sylvia was announced the Heiress and the new CEO of the leading company in the city. Sylvia was no longer the naïve lady they tossed around like a piece of trash. Now it was time to make them pay for all they did to her!

The Divorce“You good for nothing!” Elena poured and in turn, Kendra felt the hot palms of Elena connecting with her cheeks – a resounding slap that sent her ears ringing.Kendra gasped as her hands ran up to hold her cheeks to mellow the impact of the slap. She looked at her mother-in-law with teary eyes. “How could you be so clueless?” Elena barked, her whole body shacking as a result of her raging anger. “Don’t you know how to do anything right? How dare you tell me you want to quit your job? Do you have any idea how much help that particular one has been to us?” she yelled at Kendra with reverberating sound echoing through the hallways.Kendra couldn’t help but stare at her mother-in-law as tears began to roll down her succulent cheeks. She just couldn’t bring herself to utter a word. What had she not done?Kendra had worked four stressful jobs weekly and practically provided for the family. Ever since her husband’s company went bankrupt, Kendra took over the breadwinner of the ho...

I am wondering if I should start this book, because like most they can't reach an ending and we the readers have to wait long for an update.

I'm really interested in this book. But I worry, it's like so many others that she decided later to go back to him, and the guy currently, who appears perfect, ends up trash. so everyone hates him, and she can go. Please tell me I'm wrong, and the second chance is a real second chance.

I gave this book 5 stars but it only deserves 1! This book starts off good but at chapter 6 the characters and the plot is totally different! It’s disappointing that it hasn’t been re-edited yet!

Chapter 2: Sign the Divorce
“You and I know this sham of a marriage isn’t working, Kendra. And I’m tired of trying to make it work, and…”“What are you saying, Philip? I’ve been the one working my ass work up for the past four years, trying to fix our marriage. You can’t call for divorce out of the blue, not for everything I’ve done for this family, for this marriage to make it work.” Kendra explained, hoping he had got a clear picture of her sacrifices, but his expression was far from it.He stared at her, his face contorting into a stern frown. “What did you just say? I have tried. How dare you tell me you are the only one making an effort? I still kept you under my roof after you ruined me, my company went down in shambles because I married you, yet I put that behind me and tolerated you for four fucking years. What more do you want from me?”His yelling drew the attention of his Aunt - Elena, who now acted like his mother and Thomas, his younger brother.Out of their rooms, they came upon Kendra like swarms

Chapter 4: The Proposal
Kendra’s eyes widened and her mouth curled into ‘o.’ She was shocked hearing Douglas address her as his ‘dear wife.’“Kendra,” Douglas tapped her and she regained her composure.“It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Mr. Nelson.” She said, forcing a smile and Douglas could tell that smile didn’t quite reach her eyes.“Skip the formalities, call me Douglas.” He winked at her and helped himself to a seat on the couch. Kendra nodded slowly and took her seat too.Douglas scanned his wife-to-be from head and toe and noticed she hadn’t changed a bit except for the fact that she only lost a significant amount of weight.Kendra had been gone for four years, now she was back, and Douglas was determined never to let slip his hand again.Both Douglas and Kendra attended the same university and the same business school. That was where Douglas fell in love with her at first sight, but she was completely engrossed in her studies that she barely noticed him.After school, she ran after Philip, leaving

Chapter 5
The New CEOThe next day, in the evening, seated on the bed, in her room, Kendra's mind wondered in thought to what Douglas said to her yesterday. It was a few hours before the night event.What did he mean by he wants her? At first, she thought he could be taking her as a mere commodity but when she began to think deep, she understood what he actually meant, and still left in shock.Could it be that he had been waiting for her for the past four years?Kendra spent some hours of the night researching his company, and it turned out Douglas was doing pretty well in his real estate business with international recognition.There was no way he could want her because of material gain from her family. So, what could be his motive behind this marriage? These thoughts were clouded in her head.She was quickly jolted out of her reverie by a sudden knock at the door. “Please, come in,” she said, turning to the door. It opened, revealing Allison who held a box in her hand, walking towards Kendra w

Chapter 6: 5 Years Later
Kendra looked at Brian and he nodded vigorously, which made her shiver. “Philip?” She said softly, almost in a whisper. “Oh, yes, Mom. Uncle Philip was very kind to me, he almost ran over me with his car but he managed to swerve and stopped the car just in time then he alighted to check if I was alright.” Kendra's mind was reeling. Philip? Here? After all these years? She breathed in deeply as she tried to calm herself down. “Mrs. Winston,” she called the nanny. ”How could you allow this to happen? Brian could have been injured badly.” “Oh, Ms. Winchester, I am so sorry. You see, he was playing with his friends and the next thing he is running towards the street, and before I know it, I was struggling to catch up with him.” '‘What am I paying you fo r?!’ Kendra said, her fear translated to anger. ”I handed over my son to you and you were meant to protect him!” “Mom, please do not be angry with Nanny,” Brian pleaded, pulling her hand gently. ‘'It was my fault, I saw a pupp

Chapter 7
Philip's POVI was standing in front of the mirror adjusting my tie. Today, something seemed to be off, but I couldn't quite think of what it was. My phone vibrated breaking me from the train of my thoughts. “Mr. Brooks,” Adrian’s voice came through the speaker, “I think the board is panicking now, the sales are down and they want an emergency meeting, like, now. ” “Christ,” I said aloud, as I raked my fingers through my thinning hair. ”I’ll be there in twenty.“ Taking the keys, I ran out of the house with streams of thoughts in my head. It could not be this bad, could it? We used to dominate the market for quite a number of years. This could only have been a blip, right? Staring off into space, I nearly ran into a kid. I hastily held the brakes and shuddered at the close proximity that nearly claimed th child's life. '‘Bloody hell!’' I cursed as I slammed the car into the park and got out. "Hey, kid! You okay?" The boy then raised his eyes towards me and I could see he was on

Chapter 8: Ghosts of the Past
Kendra’s POVI lost my breath the moment I heard Brian utter that name – Philip. A name that I had tried so hard to leave in the past, a name that I had wanted to wipe off my memory. But there it was, rearing its ugly head once more, and from my own son’s mouth at that. I got engrossed in my mind when I heard two young ladies talking near the door of the conference room. “I heard that Mr. Brooks,” one of them said to the other. ”Some people said he owes his employees several months of unpaid salaries.”‘‘Oh, really?’’ The other one said, ‘’I am not surprised. A friend of mine in the account section told me that he always boasts of firing anyone who dares to question his authority.” ‘’Oh well, typical Philip Brooks,” The first woman said. “He just likes to bully people around with his muscles but he cannot even pay his workers their salaries when due.” This made me shiver with cold blood. Philip Brooks – it could not be the same one, could it? I muttered to myself, annoyed by my

Chapter 9: Desperate Times, Desperate Measures
Philip’s POV I was at my desk, head resting on my hands, staring at the piles of financial statements that lay before me, wondering how things had got this out of hand. I remember we were on the top and enjoying our success and now... bankruptcy? It didn't seem possible. A knock on the door brought me out of my spin cycle of anxiety. “Come in,” I said as calmly as I could despite the stress building up in me. Lillian, my secretary, leaned in through the door. ”Hello, Mr. Brooks, the conference room is free and available for the meeting. Right. The meeting. I'd almost forgotten. “Thanks, Lil I will be there shortly.” I sighed, adjusted my tie, and left for the conference. When I entered the conference room, it was quite evident that the heads of departments were stressed up. Everyone was looking at me with the expectation to deliver answers I was not certain I had. “Okay, everyone,” I said, attempting to sound much more certain than I actually was. '‘There will be no ne

Chapter 10:
Ghosts and GamblesAs Philip drove into the casino parking lot, his thoughts were a blur of whiskey and what-ifs. He got out of the car and left the door open with the aimlessness in his eyes that comes with worry and the sense of seeing a familiar figure. This silhouette could only belong to a woman he regretted ever leaving.Kendra. His ex-wife. The woman whom he had treated so despicably. “Kendra?” he tried to call her name but it died off in his throat. As he moved closer to her, his phone rang loudly in his pocket with a disturbing tone. When he reached in to pull it out, the ghost was no longer there. "Yeah?" he answered gruffly. Phil! Where the hell are you, man?” Jacobs’ voice came through the speaker. “The game’s about to begin!” Philip touched his temples and scolded himself for daydreaming. “Yes, I’m on my way.” It was a sea of lights, the blinks from the slot machines, and the sound of low voices and dreams being lost and dreams being made. Philip tried to move and
