Chapter 1: Their Betrayal

Sitting in the lavish living room, I felt a deep sense of unease. The high ceilings, elegant chandeliers, and pristine white sofas were supposed to be a testament to my perfect life with Gideon. But today, they felt like a hollow shell—a gilded cage trapping me inside a life I no longer recognized.

Across from me, my stepsister, Alexa, sipped her tea, oblivious to the storm brewing in my mind. She had come over earlier, asking for financial support for our parents, something I’d always provided without question.

“Amy, are you okay?” Alexa’s voice cut through my thoughts, pulling me back to the present.

 “It’s Gideon.” I replied.

“What do you mean?” Alexa asked, her brow furrowing.

I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts. “He’s been different lately. He’s coming home late, always with some excuse. Business trips that last longer than they should, meetings that run late into the night. And when he’s home, it’s like he’s not really here. We barely talk anymore.”

Alexa listened intently, nodding slowly. “Have you talked to him about it?”

I shook my head, feeling a lump form in my throat. “No. I don’t want to seem paranoid. But I can’t shake this feeling that something’s wrong, that he’s hiding something from me.”

She reached out, placing a comforting hand on mine. “I'm sorry to hear about that,"

The doorbell rang, interrupting our conversation. I glanced at the clock, my heart skipping a beat. Gideon.

Alexa stood up, smoothing her skirt. “I’ll get it,” she offered, flashing me a reassuring smile. “You stay here.”

I watched her walk towards the door, feeling a pang of unease. Something about the way she moved, so casual, so confident, struck me as odd. But before I could dwell on it, my gaze drifted to the table, where Alexa’s phone lay abandoned.

The screen lit up with a message, and my breath caught in my throat as I saw Gideon’s full name.

I’m home, love. The plan is successful and I can’t wait to be with you and freely marry you once Amy and I get divorced!

Time seemed to slow down, the words burning into my mind. My heart pounded so hard I thought it might burst out of my chest. This couldn’t be real. It had to be some kind of mistake, a cruel joke.

But the message was there, undeniable and damning.

I felt the ground shift beneath me as the world I knew crumbled into pieces. My hands trembled, my body going cold as the realization hit me. Gideon and Alexa. My husband and my stepsister. Betrayal in the most vicious form.

A part of me wanted to confront Alexa the moment she walked back into the room, to demand an explanation, to scream and rage at the betrayal. But another part of me, the rational, calculating part, knew I had to be smart about this. I had no proof beyond a single message. 

So, I forced myself to calm down, to breathe. I quickly set down the phone, making sure it was exactly where Alexa had left it. When she re-entered the room, with Gideon following behind her, I was already masking my emotions, wearing the perfect, unassuming smile of a wife who knew nothing.

“Are you alright?” Alexa’s voice snapped me out of my spiraling thoughts. She was standing in the doorway, her face a mask of innocent concern.

“Yeah, I’m fine,” I forced a smile, hoping it looked convincing. “I just need to use the restroom. Be right back.”

I excused myself, making my way to the bathroom, my mind racing. Once inside, I leaned against the sink, gripping the edges so hard my knuckles turned white.

Steeling myself, I splashed cold water on my face, the shock of it helping to clear my head. I couldn’t afford to let my emotions take over, not yet. I needed to be calm, methodical. They thought they were clever, that they could pull this off without me noticing. They were wrong.

When I returned to the living room, I stopped dead in my tracks. Gideon and Alexa were locked in a passionate kiss, completely oblivious to my presence. My heart plummeted, shattering into a million pieces. The scene before me was my worst nightmare come true, and yet it was happening right in front of me.

They noticed me then, pulling apart abruptly, their expressions shifting from shock to something else entirely—Gideon’s face hardened, while Alexa’s lips curled into a smirk that made my blood run cold.

“What is this?” I demanded, my voice trembling despite my best efforts to stay calm. “How could you do this to me?”

Gideon stepped forward, his expression cold and unfeeling. “Don’t make a scene, Amy. You’re blowing this out of proportion.”

“Out of proportion?” I echoed, incredulous. “I just caught my husband and my stepsister kissing in our living room, and you think I’m overreacting?”

Alexa laughed then, a cruel, mocking sound that cut through me like a knife. “Oh, Amy, you’ve always been so naïve, haven’t you?”

“What are you talking about?” I shot back, my eyes narrowing at her. “You’ve been pretending to be my friend, my sister. Why?”

She crossed her arms, her smile widening. “Because it was fun. Watching you play the perfect wife, so clueless, so trusting. It was pathetic, really.”

“You’ve hated me all this time?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “Why?”

Alexa rolled her eyes, her tone dripping with disdain. “Because you’ve always had everything handed to you, Amy. The perfect life, the perfect husband—everything I wanted. And you never even noticed, never cared.”

“That’s not true,” I protested, but she just laughed again.

“Of course it is. And now look at you—standing there, shocked and hurt, like you didn’t see this coming. You’re blind, Amy. You’ve always been blind.”

I turned to Gideon, hoping for some sign of remorse, but his expression remained cold, detached. “Is this how you feel too, Gideon? Was this your plan all along?”

He shrugged, as if it was the most casual thing in the world. “I’m tired of pretending, Amy. I’m tired of you. Alexa and I, we’re going to be together, and there’s nothing you can do about it.”

I felt like the ground had been ripped out from under me. The man I had loved, trusted, built a life with, was standing in front of me, telling me he was done. No apology, no guilt, just a cold dismissal.

“How could you be so heartless?” I asked, my voice breaking. “How could you betray me like this?”

“Because you are a boring wife, Amy!” Alexa laughed.

Something inside me snapped. All the pain, all the betrayal, surged up like a tidal wave, and before I knew it, I was rushing at her, my hands grabbing fistfuls of her hair. She screamed, struggling against me as I dragged her toward the gate.

“Let go of me!” she screeched, her hands clawing at mine. “You’re hurting me!”

“Good,” I spat, my voice shaking with anger. “You deserve to hurt after everything you’ve done!”

Gideon’s voice cut through the chaos, sharp and commanding. “Amy, let her go! Now!”

But I didn’t care. I was done with playing the part of the calm, composed wife. I was done with pretending everything was fine when it clearly wasn’t. Alexa had torn my life apart, and now she was going to feel the full weight of my fury.

She continued to plead, her voice growing more desperate. “Please, Amy, stop! You’re hurting me!”

“Good,” I said again, my grip tightening.

“Amy, let her go!” Gideon shouted, moving toward us.

Before he could reach us, though, a voice from the gate interrupted. “Excuse me, ma’am.”

We all froze, the tension in the air palpable. I turned slowly, still holding onto Alexa’s hair, to see two police officers standing at the gate. One of them was holding a piece of paper in his hand.

“Ma’am,” the officer repeated, his tone professional but firm. “We are looking for Mrs.Amethyst Sanchez Grayson”

I released Alexa, my heart pounding in my chest. “I’m Amethyst, why?”

Hey Author! No doubt you have got good writing capabilities and a good story. You must have certainly thought about the name “Kneel Before Me Ex-Husband “ Then in that case you have to respect the Title and you must literally make Gideon kneel before Amethyst. Not once 100 times he should kneel.

several chapters have been released in the last couple of days which is great but the last 7-9 chapters seem repetitive. It seems that the story is at a stand still and not moving forward.

Ex husband is sort of horrible. Doesn’t seem to feel any remorse and neither does the sister. I hope she doesn’t go back to him. ...

Chapter 2: Under arrest
"You are under arrest for a case of qualified theft," the police officer said as he pulled my hands behind my back.As the cold metal of the handcuffs clicked shut around my wrists, I felt as though the entire world was crashing down around me. My heart raced, and my mind spun in disbelief. The officers’ voices were muffled, drowned out by the roaring in my ears as I struggled to comprehend what was happening.“What? Qualified theft? This is a mistake!” I protested, panic lacing my words. I turned to Gideon, desperately searching for some sign of support, some indication that this was all a horrible misunderstanding.But Gideon’s expression remained impassive, almost bored. Alexa stood beside him, her arms crossed and a smirk still tugging at the corners of her lips. She was enjoying this—relishing every second of my downfall.“This is absurd!” I shouted, trying to pull away from the officers, but their grip was firm. “I haven’t stolen anything! This is all wrong!”One of the officers

Chapter 3: Prisoner's life
Alexa’s lips curved into a sneer as she stepped forward, her gaze sweeping over me with an air of condescension. “Oh, I saw plenty,” she said, her voice dripping with mockery.“I saw you destroy everything you had—your marriage, your reputation. And now, look at you. Just a pathetic shell of what you used to be.”The sheer contempt in her voice was a knife to my heart. I could barely contain my rage.“You think you’re so much better, don’t you?” I spat, my fists clenching at my sides.“You’ve been having an affair with my husband. You’re the one who should be behind bars, not me!”Alexa’s laughter was cold and unfeeling.“Gideon and I are quite happy, thank you very much. But don’t worry, Amy. The world doesn’t care about your side of the story. It only cares about what they see.”My frustration bubbled over, and I took a step toward her, my hands trembling with anger.“You think this is a joke? You’re ruining my life!”Before I could reach her, the police officers stepped in, restrai

Chapter 4: Divorce Papers
I was led into the room, my heart racing with a mix of anger and confusion. The sight of Gideon, so composed and unaffected, made me clench my fists, the pain from the previous night's altercation still fresh. The officers left, closing the door behind them, leaving Gideon and me alone.“Gideon,” I said, my voice trembling with a mix of rage and desperation.“Why are you here? After everything, you have the nerve to show up?”Gideon’s gaze remained steady, his eyes cold and unfeeling.“I’m here to finalize a few things, Amy,” he said, his tone flat and devoid of any empathy. He placed a folder on the table between us, sliding it toward me with deliberate precision.I looked at the folder, my breath catching as I saw the word “Divorce” emblazoned across the top of the document.“Is this some kind of joke?” I asked, my voice cracking. “You’re here to divorce me while I’m locked up?”“It’s no joke,” Gideon said, his expression unwavering. “You’ve made your choices, Amy. This is just a fo

Chapter 5: New life
The woman’s eyes, a sharp contrast to the tired lines of her face, shone with a deep, penetrating sadness.“You must be... I mean, I have waited a long time to finally meet you.”I felt a shiver run down my spine. Her words were too loaded with meaning, and I couldn't shake the feeling that I was about to uncover a truth that would shatter my already fractured world.“My name is Eleanor,” she said, her voice trembling slightly. “I’m your grandmother.”The air seemed to grow thicker, heavier, as she reached into a worn, leather bag and pulled out several photographs. She laid them carefully on the small table between us. The first was a picture of me as a baby, cradled in the arms of a woman I did not recognize. Beside it was a photograph of my father, younger but unmistakably familiar.I stared at the pictures, my mind struggling to piece together the fragments of the story Eleanor was about to reveal. The confusion and fear must have been visible on my face because Eleanor’s eyes sof

Chapter 6: Her Name
And then there was the name, a spell floating above me, infusing itself into who I was to be. The name Amethyst Amadeus-powerful, fierce, unyielding-a name to be respected and one that brought into my thoughts strength and beauty. Excitement and trepidation began as I began this new life.Eleanor's face is a faint mixture of pride and something far deeper, almost like longing. "It is time to leave the past behind," she said. "You have suffered long enough." For a fleeting moment, her eyes wandered out toward the shadows of my life-the darkness that had enveloped me for so long.As I pass through the city streets, I glance out at this world from which I was cast out: the mask of normalcy that now lies tattered. High rises stood as sentinels, each house full of lives I'd once called average—not lives I sought to subvert and conquer but to infiltrate. My heart is racing as I think about the power I could amass.'We shall begin with how you appear,' Eleanor said, breaking through my rever

Chapter 7: Instant Billionaire
As I turned the pages, a wave of incredulity washed over me. Amadeus Multi-Company—my inheritance—is a colossal conglomerate with an estimated value of **$800 billion**. I hardly knew how to grasp it. Alongside it, plans for **ten luxury resorts** are given—each a haven of sun-kissed beaches, suites that are pure opulence, and endless possibilities.I looked at the figures on the page and felt that the ground beneath me seemed to have vanished. This was a life I could never have imagined, a life I saw only when people were acting it out in movies and reading about it in magazines. It was full of power, wealth, and influence. Yet, all this brewed over the actual feelings of utter exhilaration and soon gave place to another thought: a chilling reminder of my naïveté of the past.How blind was I? My ex Gideon had made my life turn out to be a nightmare, using my trust against me, leaving me an utterly lonely sufferer. I once believed there is goodness within people-the actual courage tha

Chapter 8: Five Years later
FIVE YEARS LATERThe sun glistened off the surface of my $100 million car as I pulled up to the headquarters of Amadeus Multi-Company in its towering headquarters. The car was slick midnight blue, and the purr of the engine sounded like that sated feline lying on the couch watching TV-because that is exactly what those years and hard work and determination had done: transformed my life. When I stepped out, there was this sense in the air, this sort of excitement spreading through the stream of employees congregated in the parking lot. The moment I tapped my heels on the pavement, heads turned and even whispers went through the ranks of the employees.Then I heard a voice repeat it once again: "It's her," laced with wonder and adoration. Respect in their eyes was strange, yet exciting. I was no longer the poor, gullible woman who had endured the cruel arm of betrayal; no one addressed me by that title, but another-a name said with r

Chapter 9: Cryptic Fortunes
I immediately walked away because I feel something at her words. Victoria followed me on our way to the car. The woman’s world still bothered me while I’m looking at the window.The car ride home felt heavy with an inexplicable tension. Victoria remained quiet, but her sideways glances made it clear she thought I was being absurd. Her irritation lingered, and she finally broke the silence when we reached the driveway.“That woman,” she said, wrinkling her nose, “she’s weird. You shouldn’t bother with people like that, Amethyst.”I clenched the steering wheel, breathing slowly to calm my racing thoughts. Victoria’s words seemed shallow in contrast to the gnawing feeling in my gut. “Weird,” maybe, but there was something more to that encounter. Something unsettling."I have a bad feeling," I admitted, trying to piece together the fragments of my past. "I think that woman read my future five years ago. What she said back then—it lines up with what’s happening now. I understand what she m

Chapter 10: Invitation
It was as if all blood had frozen in my veins. I sprang upright, a palpable rhythm pounding in my ears. For a moment, I thought I was mistaken. But no. There it was staring back at me on my computer screen.Gideon. And Alexa. A "happy married couple," the article read. People who tore my life apart five years ago.Alexa Sanchez-my step-sister. And Gideon Grayson, who has once been my husband, the man who betrayed me, orchestrated my imprisonment and set in motion the steps to make it fall. And now they flaunt their perfect lives-and Alexa is pregnant with his child. The child that should be mine.I opened the article, each word like a knife twisting deeper into my gut. They'd announced it last night at some gala event, their smiles wide and perfect for the cameras. Gideon beamed with pride to her side, his arm thrown around Alexa's waist as she paraded her belly around.My chest tightened. I could hardly breathe. The pain of the betrayal stood as fresh an
