Vengeance is her's, not God's. Andrea Campbell's world is shattered when Thane, her ruthless CEO husband, divorces her. Left with nothing, she has no family, no money, no identity. But as fate would have it, she is reunited with her billionaire birth father, Mr. Campbell. Five years later, Andrea returns as a stunning, sassy businesswoman, fueled by a burning desire for revenge. She plans to pull Thane into a high-stakes business collaboration and then destroy him. Thane, consumed by his ex-wife's transformation, will stop at nothing to reclaim her. Unaware of their hidden twin children and Andrea's secret game. He becomes increasingly obsessed. As they dance around their explosive past, Andrea struggles to keep her emotions in check. Thane's determination ignites a risky game of cat and mouse, where old feelings resurface and new flames ignite. Will Thane's all-consuming love be enough to quench Andrea's fury, or will her thirst for revenge destroy them both? Can Andrea resist Thane's relentless chase, or will she succumb to the passion that once bound them?

Chapter 1

Andrea's pov

The pen fell from my hands again.

" Just sign the goddamn papers, would you? " Mother ordered, eyeing me with disgust as she did.

" Andera can't even hold on to a pen, it's not surprising you couldn't hold your husband's heart, too. It's a wonder how my big brother tolerated you this long." Anna hissed.

I took a look at the papers spread in front of me, one signature, and I'd be back to the place I was all those years ago.

The place of helplessness.

" I...I can't. " I stammered.

They both groaned. The hate and disgust on their faces was palpable. I know they have always despised me but I couldn't do it. I would rather face their hatred than be alone on the streets. Hot tears trickled down my face; my body convulsed with my persistent sobs.

" For the love of God, is that the only thing you can do Andera, cry? Yuck, look at your face; it's covered in snort; you're so disgusting. We don't want you as a part of our family anymore; so just get this divorce over with!" Imogen, the eldest of the siblings thundered.

More than anything, I love Thane. He hasn't been the best of my husband, but the love I have for him runs deep in me; I've loved him from the first day I steeped my mud-covered shoes into this house.

Thane walked back into the living room, and I got on my knees to beg him.

"Thane, please don't do this to us. I love you, Thane. I don't have a life outside the one you've given me. Thane please, I'll do anything you want."

Tears flowed from my eyes in torrents while I begged him on my knees. I prayed to every holy being that Thane would be compassionate with me today. Just today.

" You can keep your useless love to yourself, Andera; it's done me no good. " He spat.

Seems like there's no one willing to answer the prayers of an orphan today. I might as well help myself.

" No Thane, I won't. Thane I......"

The words were lost on my lips as he reached for my hair and pulled it roughly. So tight was his grip, my scalp hurt. My teary eyes met Thane's scornful stare; his gray eyes were filled with burning hatred. Not to be surprised though, he's never looked at me with anything but that in our two years of marriage.

" Andrea, you should be lucky we're doing this the easy way. You preyed on my late father's weakness and forced your way into my life you cunning thief." He hissed, his words sliced through me.

"No, I swear, Thane, I didn't steal your family heirloom."

"Lair." Imogen cut me. " It was found in your bag, Andera."

They were accusing me wrongly; I didn't steal anything. I'm not foolish enough to jeopardize my stand in this family. I would never steal. Pa Eugene raised me better than that.

" if you could just check the security footage you'd find the real culprit. "

I tried to convince Thane while his fingers still held their tight grip on my hair, staring daggers at me from those gray orbs

" Andrea you disgusting b!tch! Now you're trying to accuse one of us? Just admit to your crimes and we won't turn you over to the police. " Anna, the youngest spat.

" Oh Andrea, we won't put you in jail because of the blind love my husband had for you but don't test us. Sign the divorce papers and leave our family! Heaven's forbid my son would stay married to a thief! Just imagine if this gets on the News. The wife of the renowned CEO of Renihardt's infrastructures steals a family heirloom worth millions; that would be terrible; do you know all the setbacks that could cause us?! "

Mother's words were enough to snap the last thread of Thane's patience. He had always been rough and aggressive in a way I found attractive, well, until now.

He pulled my hair. My heart hammered in my chest, and a small voice in my head that kept repeating the same thing for two years spoke up again: 'You're nothing to him, a nobody. Did you believe Thane could love you?'

I had thought that with time, my love would be reciprocated, but I was wrong.

Thane pushed me forcefully towards the table, causing me to fall face flat on it. The fall sent a sharp pain coursing through me, but it was nowhere close to the damage done to my heart. If only his father hadn't died a month ago, we wouldn't be here.

"You have ten seconds to sign these papers, Andrea. Ten seconds till I do my worst!" He seethed.

My eyes burned. This level of hatred was something I never expected, he doesn't trust me, and all I've done is give him the entirety of myself!

I held the pen again, my grip tighter this time; even if I had no one to go to, it was better than jail, and so I signed my divorce papers. Dropping the pen, I looked up at Thane. The man I dreamed about whenever I slept. The only man I let into my heart, the man who took my innocence.

"Leave." He looked away from me as if the sight of me repulsed him.

" We've packed your things already. " Anna announced happily. I didn't break my gaze from Thane, now my ex-husband.

" You'll be happy, right? Now that I'm gone. " My voice quivered.

" Yes, Andera, I feel like a burden has been taken away from me. " He answered dryly.

Picking up my bags, I cast one last look at the four of them, the only family I've had for fourteen years. They had never seen me as family, and painfully, my marriage to Thane didn't make me one either.

--

The emergency shelter is far from Thane's mansion, thirty minutes of walking has me weak and tired. My stomach started to churn. Barely three steps later, I fall to my knees and throw up, not before I see people hurrying towards me.

Next thing I know, I'm waking up to a slow beeping sound by my side. It's so bright in here.

"Where am I?" I asked weakly

A woman dressed in an immaculate white gown walked to me, a big smile on her face.

"You're in the hospital; you passed out, ma'am."

"Hospital?"

"Yes, ma'am, congratulations, you're three weeks pregnant."

--

I'm Pregnant.

There's a baby inside me. Thane's baby. It's all I can think about when I walk out of the hospital with nothing but a box of old clothes.

Pregnant, with no home, no family, and no money but whatever I have to do to survive, I will for the sake of this child I'm already starting to love.

" Miss, please wait up. " Someone calls. I turn around to see a man in a black suit running towards me.

"Miss, there's someone who wants to see you." He points to the other side of the road. Another man steps out from a black Bugatti.

The moment our eyes meet, he inhales loudly, and his hand flies to his chest.

"My child. Andera."

Chapter 2
Andrea's pov. Five years later. I slip on my signature shades as I step out from my black Rolls Royce. It protects my sensitive eyes away from the light of the paparazzi's cameras. It's been five years since I left Seattle. Everything is different but somehow, it still feels the same. I've missed it, the people, the air, the vibe. I missed Seattle. That's the second reason why I chose to leave Boston and build my new company here. "Would you like to share your story with the people Ms Campbell? Please do tell us how you reunited with your family." One of the reporters asked, snapping me out of my nostalgic thoughts. My lips curved into a small practiced smile. I've shared the story with the press times without number, and I don't mind doing it every day. The image of my father comes to mind, how he hugged me tightly the day he found me. I was wretched, abandoned, and three weeks into motherhood. I was a nobody, but he gave me so much love there and then my heart nearly burst.

Thane's pov. "It would be unwise to reject this offer," Paul advised. I lean back into my leather seat and read the message from my computer. "Auraspire Energy, a subsidiary of Campbell's Technologies, proposes a comprehensive collaboration to integrate our renewable energy solutions with Renihardt's Infrastructure's expertise. Our partnership aims to establish Seattle as a global model for sustainable urban development, enhancing the city's eco-friendliness, and quality of life...'" The proposal is good. Normally, I would be reluctant to partner with a new company, but seeing as this one is an extension of the renowned Campbell's technologies, I'm assured they're liquid enough to collaborate. My earlier skepticism morphed into fascination. This collaboration could catapult Renihardt's Infrastructure to the forefront of sustainable development. "Our partnership will change the game. And Ms Campbell you've made a compelling case. I look forward to seeing you ." I type and send vi

Andera's pov I withdrew my outstretched arm, squaring up to Thane. He may be six foot four, but my boldness is taller, and the heels I'm on give me two extra inches. I don't shy away from his menacing gaze, mine is confident and impenetrable. " Shall we start our meeting, Mr Renihardt, or would you rather we remain standing? " I cocked one brow at him, ignoring his outburst. He drew his head back in surprise and blinked at me. Stunned, Thane? Just wait; you don't know what's coming for you, my dear ex-husband. I smirked. Without waiting for his approval, I took a seat. Rosa sat next to me and the rest of my team followed suit. Thane stood like a statue, with different emotions flicking in those gray eyes. Paul nudged his boss to sit down. The tension in the conference room was so thick, I could slice it with a blunt knife."Thank you for agreeing to partner with Auraspire Energies. " I gave him a sweet smile. " Now all that's left is to discuss the terms and sign both our a

Thane's povI gulped down another shot of whiskey, feeling it burn down my throat. I've been seething since Andera left in her Rolls Royce, swaying those lush hips as she walked past me. I still can't believe Andera is the daughter of The one and only Campbell. Did my father know? Was that why he forced me to marry her after I....? Goddammit!Everything about her has changed. She's confident and sassy and ..... beautiful, with her auburn hair flowing in waves, framing her heart-shaped face and her captivating hazel eyes, polls of green and brown. " She chose me. " I muttered to myself" Sir? " Paul, who had been with me ever since they left, asked." Paul, I think she chose to partner with me to spite me, rub off her wealth and affluence in my face. " I groaned as I set the glass down on my desk." Well, sir, perhaps she chose to collaborate with Renihardt's infrastructure given how outstanding we are. I mean, when it comes to large-scale infrastructure and managing complex construc

Andera's pov.Relief washes over me as I step out of my car. I'm still reeling in the joy from my meeting but I'm also very eager to see my kids.That's right. Kids.Thane knocked me up with two babies! And while I hate him, and would probably hate him till I take my last breath, having our kids is the best thing that has happened in my life. What I felt when I bore them is too profound, to be put into words.It's quiet when I step in, too quiet. "Timmy? Tiffany? " I call out, my eyes scanning the living room. They're both usually here watching cartoons whenever I return. A faint giggle form behind catches my attention, and my eyes land on two little rascals hiding behind the couch. Tiffany tries to stifle her laughter while Timmy puts a finger to his lips, gesturing her to keep quiet.Smiling, I pretend not to see them and play along with their game. "Oh, where could these kids be?" I exclaim, hitting my forehead with my palm dramatically. Tiffany giggles more, and Timmy's face

Chapter 7
Thane's pov As I pulled into the driveway, Melissa's enraged voice echoed from the entrance of my mansion. The fucking entrance! God, she's loud.For a moment, I briefly considered going back to me car, putting my car in reverse to get the fuck away from her. " Chill, man, you just postponed your wedding; any woman would be upset. You just have to calm her down " I remind myself as I walk in.Most of the staff's scurry in and out of my room, exchanging hushed whispers and nervous glances. When I walk in, I find Melissa frantically packing clothes, makeup, and other belongings. Some were scattered haphazardly on the floor, I even nearly stepped on her hair dryer. The bedside mirror had a large crack in the middle , with some pieces of shattered glass on the floor. I would have to avoid stepping on those too. I wonder what she must have thrown at it, hopefully not any of my stuff.She came to a standstill when she saw me walk in, her face beet-red with rage." You had no right to post

Andera's pov. " The curse was broken and the beast transformed into a handsome prince. The prince and beauty got married in a grand ceremony, people gathered from far and wide to join their celebration, and they lived happily ever after the end." I closed the bedtime storybook with a soft thud, watching a small smile spread on Tiffany's lips. Her eyelids dropped, and she snuggled closer to me, her small body relaxing into mine." This is my favorite bedtime story, mommy. " She mumbled. " It's a great story," I whisper back. Timmy, my little caretaker, took the book from me, climbed down from the bed, and carefully placed it on the book rack. My heart swelled with pride as I watched him climb back onto the bed, his little face beaming with a sense of accomplishment. Timmy, my little man."Mommy, when daddy comes back, you'll get to live happily too, just like Beauty, and then Timmy and I can make new drawings of the four of us in our own happily ever after. " Her voice slurs.I clo

Andera's pov. It's been a week since that sneering text from Thane. He hadn't replied to me back, and since then, our communication has been between our P.As, but today, we're having a meeting, and my blood simmers at the thought of seeing him.The meeting is scheduled at Thane's company, and while that pisses me off, it is only customary that we have our meetings at his, I'm the one who asked for coloboration, after all.Since today's details would be concise, I'm only accompanied by my COO, Rosa.“ Ready to go slay your ex-husband?" Rosa questions with a smirk while she drove." As ready as one can be. " is my witty response.“ Great, and when we're done, we could go pick up my two munchkins from preschool. " Her onyx eyes glint with happiness." You mean the kids who are super excited they'll meet their daddy soon? Sure, we would go pick them up.“ A tense silence falls on us, my words may had come out harsher than I intended because she takes a glance at me, apology written all o

Chapter 10
Andera's pov I walk slowly into the building, ignoring the trepidation crawling in my stomach. The talk with Rosa left me somewhat drained emotionally, it was like reopening an old wound.The meeting is going to be quick and short,that's a relief. I don't know how I would have made it an hour or two alone with Thane without loosing my wits.A sigh leaves my lips."Breathe in Andera. You can't flare up, you can not mess this up. you would get what you want soon enough. " I muttered.Stepping into the meeting room, I'm greeted by the scent of Thane's signature cologne. My eyes shut close impulsively as I drink in that all too familiar scent. The scent of sandalwood, of Thane.Memories start rushing into my mind, and my face heats up, memories I had long buried. I forced the unwanted thoughts away.When I open my eyes, Thane is watching me intently, his brooding gray eyes scanning over me, slowly, from my legs up to my face.I shudder involuntarily. When his gaze meets mine, he inhales
