From Ashes To The Billionaire's Arms 16. I WON'T SPARE YOU
VICTOR The moment the police arrived, I felt a wave of relief. Finally, Sophia would be dealt with. Using this method, I would see to it that she paid for everything she had done so far. Isabella was truly my better half. She knew what I wanted even without me saying it.But before I could say a word to the police, she suddenly screamed. “Oh, I wanted the police to come!” she yelled, turning towards the crowd. “Yes, come and see the injustice happening right in front of your eyes!” I stiffened. What was she doing? The manager looked horrified. “Miss Sophia, please calm down....” “Don’t tell me to calm down!” she snapped, her voice sharp and furious. “This is between me and my husband.” The entire restaurant went silent. The manager’s eyes widened. “H-husband?” I clenched my fists. “Yes, my husband,” Sophia repeated, her voice dripping with sarcasm as she turned towards me. “Three years ago, I was married to Victor Sinclair while he was in a coma. And do you know wha

SOPHIA The moment Victor walked away, I felt my legs weaken. Isabella had been completely livid as I embarrassed her but she couldn't say anything in her defense. I ought to be happy at this little victory but I wasn't, not in the slightest. My chest tightened, and a sharp pain spread through my heart. I had held myself together in front of Victor, refusing to let him see me break. But now, as I walked to a quiet spot away from the crowd, I could no longer hold it in. I sank onto a bench, wrapped my arms around myself, and let the tears fall. I hated him. I hated how much I still cared. Victor was the first man I ever loved and gave myself to. The man I spent years caring for, the man I once dreamed of having a future with. But now, he had become my worst nightmare. He wasn’t just cruel...he was determined to destroy me. And Isabella? She had everything I never had—his love, his attention, his protection. Meanwhile, I was nothing but a discarded wife, a woman forced to

SOPHIA I clenched my fists, staring at Evelyn with all the anger and pain I had kept buried for too long. “I know exactly what you and your son are doing to me,” I said to her. “I see it all. The insults, the humiliation, the way you starve me and turn the maids against me. And even preventing me from getting a job. I’ve kept quiet, not because I don’t know how to fight back, but because I didn’t want to waste my energy on people like you.” Evelyn smirked, sipping her tea like she wasn’t even listening. “But now,” I continued, stepping closer, “this is different. My health is at stake. And after everything I’ve done for Victor, I deserve medical care. If I had spent the last three years working instead of being locked inside like a prisoner, I would have had enough money to take care of myself.” Evelyn scoffed. “And whose fault is that?” “Yours!” I snapped, my voice rising. “You forced me to stay home. You made sure I couldn’t step outside. You had bodyguards at every ex

SOPHIA Victor didn’t wait for my response. He got into his car, slammed the door, and drove away, leaving me standing alone on the sidewalk. His words echoed in my mind. "You are not worthy to bear my child." I swallowed hard, blinking back the tears that threatened to fall. How had my life come to this? I started walking, my steps slow and heavy. I didn’t know where I was going, but I needed to think. I needed to breathe. But as I walked, my phone kept ringing. It had been ringing all afternoon, and I knew who it was. Evelyn. I ignored the call, but she didn’t stop. Again and again, my phone buzzed in my hand. I exhaled, knowing I couldn’t avoid her forever. By the time I reached home, I barely had the energy to step inside. The moment I opened the door, Evelyn was waiting. She grabbed my wrist, pulling me inside. “Where have you been?” she demanded. “Why haven’t you been answering my calls?” I yanked my hand away. “What do you want, Evelyn?” Her eyes narrow

SOPHIA The moment Victor walked away, I felt something inside me break. I dragged myself back to my room, my body trembling, my heart aching. The moment the door shut behind me, I collapsed onto the bed and let out the sobs I had been holding in. Tears streamed down my face, hot and endless. How could he be so cruel? I wrapped my arms around my stomach, cradling the tiny life growing inside me. My baby. Would my child suffer the way I had suffered? Would he grow up without a father? I had done everything the right way. I hadn’t made the mistakes my mother had. I got married first. I was a wife before I became pregnant. I had done everything properly. So why did I still end up like this? Alone. Rejected. A soft knock on the door startled me. I quickly wiped my tears as a maid entered, carrying a tray of food. She placed it on the bedside table and stepped back, avoiding my eyes. “Madam, you should eat.” I stared at the steaming food—nutritious, balanced, nothin
Last Updated : 2025-01-31From Ashes To The Billionaire's Arms 21. SLEEPING PRINCESS
ISABELLA I stormed out of Victor’s house, my heels clicking against the pavement, my blood boiling with rage. My hands clenched into fists as I struggled to keep my breathing steady. This was not how things were supposed to go. Victor belonged to me. I had worked too hard, spent too many years by his side, molding him into the man he was today. The accident had ruined things for me. I had thought he would never wake up again but now that he had, no one was going to take him away from me. However, Victor's mother wasn't a simple woman. Victor was a grown man, yet Evelyn still made decisions in his life. The fact that she left her own house, moved into Victor's house and made herself the boss without Victor having a problem with it, did not sit well with me. And Sophia? That pathetic girl was nothing but an obstacle standing in my way. I had underestimated her once, but not anymore. I climbed into my car and gripped the steering wheel so tightly as my mind spun with pos

SOPHIA The moment I received the text message confirming I had gotten the job, my heart swelled with relief. Finally. After weeks of rejection, after struggling to even afford a meal, I had an opportunity. I didn’t care that I was pregnant, I was willing to work. I needed to stand on my own two feet, and no one, not even Victor’s family, would stop me. I quickly typed out a reply, confirming my attendance, and rushed to get dressed. As I stepped out of my room, I nearly bumped into Evelyn. “Where do you think you’re going?” she asked, crossing her arms. I forced a polite smile. “I have something important to do. I won’t be long.” Evelyn frowned. “The doctor warned you not to stress yourself. You need to be careful.” “I know,” I said, keeping my voice calm. “And I care about this child more than anyone.” Evelyn studied me for a moment, as if trying to decide whether to stop me. Finally, she stepped aside. I nodded. “I’ll be back soon.” Without another word, I wa

CALEB**Weeks Earlier** I stared at the plate of food in front of me, but I had no appetite. The rich aroma of home-cooked meals filled the air, and I knew my mother had gone out of her way to have this prepared for me. Still, I couldn’t bring myself to eat. Across the table, she watched me expectantly, a hopeful smile on her face. “I spoke with the cook and told her to make this especially for you,” she said gently. “It’s been so long since you came home. I wanted you to have your favorite food today.”"Where's my jacket, mom?" I asked. "You took it away earlier and did not return with it."She smiled, "Don't worry, your jacket is safe." I sighed, picking up my fork and stabbing at the food. “Mom, you know why I avoid coming home.” Her smile faltered, but she quickly masked it. “Let’s not talk about that now,” she said. “Tonight, I just want to spend time with my son.” I didn’t argue. It wasn’t worth the fight. So, I started eating. She poured me a glass of wine, a

From Ashes To The Billionaire's Arms 65. DESPERATION AND DENIAL
VICTOR Sophia was finally here. Standing in my house, right in front of me. I told myself that now that she had come back, I couldn’t...I wouldn’t...let her go. But then, I saw the look in her eyes. Cold. Unyielding. She didn’t hesitate. She didn’t flinch. I barely recognized her. She was no longer the wife who once looked at me with love. She looked at me as if I were a stranger. A monster. My stomach twisted, my eyes darting to the door. She said there were police officers outside. But when I arrived… I hadn’t seen anyone. I clenched my jaw. She was bluffing. She had to be. Taking a deep breath, I did the only thing I could think of. I blocked her path. And then, I dropped to my knees. “Sophia, please.” Her eyes barely flickered. “Give me a second chance,” I begged, my voice cracking. “I love you. I swear I do. You’re all I think about.” Her lips pressed into a thin line. “Every night, when I close my eyes, I see your face. I see our child.”
From Ashes To The Billionaire's Arms 64. NO MORE CHAINS
SOPHIA I walked out of Caleb’s company with a plan in mind. Stopping by the police station, I squared my shoulders and walked up to the officer at the front desk. My heart pounded, but my face remained calm. Controlled. “I want to file a report,” I said. The officer raised an eyebrow. “What kind of report?” I took a deep breath. “I’m separated from my husband. He was physically abusive, and I need to retrieve my belongings from his house, but I’m afraid he might attack me if I go there.” The officer studied me for a moment, then his eyes widened in recognition. “Aren’t you the woman everyone’s talking about? The one who’s gone viral for living with another man while still pregnant with her husband’s child?” A bitter laugh threatened to escape my lips, but I held it back. Instead, I pulled out my phone, scrolling until I found a video. I turned the screen toward him—the clip of Victor and Isabella harassing me at the restaurant. “Watch this,” I said. The officer f
From Ashes To The Billionaire's Arms 63. YOU ARE MY STRENGTH
SOPHIA I stepped out of the elevator and walked straight toward Caleb’s office, my heart pounding with determination. After leaving the lawyer’s office, I knew exactly what I had to do. I dialed Caleb’s number. "I'm outside your building," I told him. “Come in,” he said immediately. Within seconds, a security guard was escorting me inside, and before I knew it, I was stepping into his office. Caleb stood from his chair the moment he saw me. “Hey,” he said, gesturing to the seat in front of his desk. “Sit down. You seem troubled. What is it?” I didn’t bother sitting. I looked him straight in the eyes. “I’ve made up my mind about my divorce from Victor.” A flicker of concern passed through his gaze. “Don’t tell me you want to retract the divorce.” “No,” I said quickly, shaking my head. “That’s not it. But I refuse to let you pay a single dime to that man. I would rather die than let you give Victor a divorce settlement.” Caleb’s brows furrowed. “Sophia....” “I mean i
From Ashes To The Billionaire's Arms 62. READY TO FIGHT
SOPHIA Light seeped through the curtains as I sat on the couch, wrapped in a blanket. Caleb had decided to stay home with me today, sensing that his mother and Melody weren’t done trying to interfere in my life. After yesterday’s fiasco, he was worried they’d find another way to pressure me into leaving. I appreciated his concern, but in truth, I wasn’t sure how much longer I could keep dealing with this. The stress, the drama... Victor just wouldn’t let me go. Caleb sighed and ran a hand through his hair. “I need to figure out how to put an end to all this,” he muttered. Before I could respond, his phone started ringing. Again. It had been happening all morning...... one call after another. At first, he ignored them, but eventually, he picked up, and I listened as his voice hardened. “Victor cannot destroy me,” Caleb said firmly into the phone. “He doesn’t have the capability to do so.” That made me sit up straight. My stomach twisted uneasily as I watched him pace back
From Ashes To The Billionaire's Arms 61. ANOTHER STRIKE
VICTOR "I'm done playing nice," I muttered under my breath, gripping the steering wheel tightly. My patience had worn thin. I had watched Sophia step out of that house, watched as my chance to get her back slipped right through my fingers. And why? Because Caleb had ruined everything. Again. Caleb’s sister, Melody, had assured me that the plan was foolproof. She and her mother were supposed to convince Sophia to leave. I had done my part... I had been right there, waiting, just like she told me. But the moment Sophia walked outside, Caleb was already there, hovering over her like some damn guardian angel, dragging her back inside before I could do a damn thing. I clenched my jaw as I drove my mother home, my mind replaying everything over and over. The second I got home, I called Melody. "It didn't work," I snapped as soon as she picked up. "Yeah… we were so close," she said, sounding just as frustrated. "Caleb ruined it. Again," I bit out. Melody sighed. "Honestly,
From Ashes To The Billionaire's Arms 60. SOPHIA!
SOPHIA I felt Victor’s hand on my back, guiding me toward the car, his other hand gripping my luggage as if I was returning to him. Fool. I could still hear Evelyn’s words ringing in my ears. "We will do everything to make things right." Make things right? The same person who had watched Victor tear me apart was now preaching about second chances. If Caleb hadn’t saved me that night, would they be standing here, acting like they cared? I looked ahead, toward the road. Fortunately, I still had the card Caleb had given me which contained a lot of money. I was going to walk to the road, take a cab and book a hotel room for the time being.It was for the best. Just as I got close to Victor's car, he hurriedly opened the door for me to get in and I scoffed. I reached for my bag, wanting to snatch it back from him. Then, a sudden screech of tires broke through the air. Caleb. My heart lurched as his car came to a sharp stop right in front of us. The door flung open, and
From Ashes To The Billionaire's Arms 59. I GAVE UP
SOPHIA Tears blurred my vision as I watched a video on my phone. My hands trembled, my chest tightening with every hateful comment flooding the internet. Caleb’s project was in ruins, and all because of Victor. I clutched my phone, feeling suffocated by guilt. I don’t want Caleb to be hurt. Maybe I should leave. I paced across the room, my mind spiraling. Would leaving make things easier for him? Would my absence stop Victor from going after him? Wiping my tears, I remembered the day Caleb told me about his past...about losing his first love. I could still hear his voice when he confessed that he couldn’t father a child. 'What if this is his only chance to be a father?' A painful lump formed in my throat. If I left, I wouldn’t just be walking away from Caleb.... I’d be taking away his chance at a family. But staying meant putting him in danger. Before I could decide, a sharp knock on the door made me freeze. My heart pounded as I approached, hesitating before opening
From Ashes To The Billionaire's Arms 58. I WILL DESTROY YOU
CALEB The next morning, I barely had time for breakfast. I greeted Sophia briefly, exchanging only a few words before heading out. My mind was already set on work. At the office, I made several calls to finalize arrangements with my partners. Everything was in place, and by ten, I left for the meeting. The venue was a high-end conference hall, and I arrived to find four influential businessmen already waiting. These were men who controlled vast industries, and today’s deal was one of the biggest of my career. If all went well, this collaboration would take my company to number one in the country. We sat down, and discussions began smoothly. Everything was proceeding as planned... until the door suddenly burst open. The room fell silent. Victor Sinclair strode in, an arrogant smirk plastered on his face. And behind him? Reporters. Dozens of them. Cameras flashed, microphones extended, and the murmur of media personnel filled the air. “There he is,” Victor declared, his vo
From Ashes To The Billionaire's Arms 57. FRESH ROSES
CALEB After leaving work for the day, my mind kept drifting to Sophia. No matter how much I tried to focus on other things, she remained at the forefront of my thoughts. I wanted to do something for her, something simple yet meaningful. On my way home, I stopped by a flower shop. It wasn’t a difficult choice...I remembered the way she had admired a bouquet of red roses when we went shopping together once. She hadn't bought them, but her expression had lingered in my mind. That look of quiet admiration, as if something so simple could hold so much beauty. So, I bought her a bouquet of fresh red roses. When I got home, I headed straight to her room. I knocked lightly before stepping inside. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at nothing in particular. The distant look in her eyes made something tighten in my chest. The moment she saw me, her lips curved into a small smile, and she stood up. "You don’t have to stand," I told her. "Relax." She hesitated before
