Scarlett Carter had it all, wealth, status, and a husband she thought she could trust. But in a single moment, everything crumbled. Her husband betrayed her. Her best friend stole her life. Her stepbrother took everything she built. And now, pregnant and penniless, she’s nothing more than a scandalous headline. Just when she thinks she’s lost it all, Adrian Carter appears. The black sheep of the Carter dynasty. The vengeful older brother Daniel erased and despised. A man with power, money, and a vendetta just as deep as hers. Adrian offers her a deal, help him destroy those who made him an outsider, and in return she’ll get protection for her baby and revenge against those who hurt her . But revenge comes at a cost. As Scarlett steps into Adrian’s world, she’s no longer the woman they left behind, she becomes something far more dangerous, stopping at nothing to get her own pound of flesh. And when passion ignites between them, the lines between vengeance and desire blur. She was once the billionaire’s placeholder bride. Now? She’ll be the one to burn his empire to the ground.

The restaurant was dimly lit, Scarlett smoothed the hem of her dress, her nerves buzzing in anticipation. Three years of marriage with Daniel Carter, and tonight was meant to celebrate all of itThen she noticed the man. He walked directly to her table, “Mrs. Carter?” His voice was flat, businesslike.Scarlett blinked. “Yes? What is this about?”Without any hint of hesitation, he placed a thick envelope on the table in front of her. “You’ve been served.”Scarlett stared at the papers. The words blurred together. Petition for Divorce. Her heart slammed against her ribs.“This, this must be a mistake,” Scarlett stammered, pushing the papers back toward him. “My husband is meeting me here any minute.”The man didn’t even flinch. “Have you spoken to the said husband today?”“I have,” she answered confidently, although her nerves were on the edge. Her hands trembled as she reached for her phone. Daniel’s name glowed on the screen as she hit the dial. It barely rang once before he picked u...

Scarlett’s eyelids fluttered open to the soft beep of machines and the sterile scent of antiseptic. The bright hospital lights made her wince. A dull ache pulsed at her temples. An unfamiliar voice broke through the haze. “Mrs. Carter?” She turned her head slightly, eyes landing on a doctor in a white coat. His expression was calm, measured. “You had a fainting episode,” he continued. “Thankfully, Ms Elena was there just at the right time to help you. You’re dehydrated, and your blood pressure was low, but there’s something else more important we need to discuss.” Scarlett swallowed, her throat dry. “What?” What could possibly be more important than the fact that her world had been shattered cruelly that night. The doctor glanced at his clipboard, and stated matter of factly.“You’re pregnant.” The words hit her like a shockwave. Scarlett sat up too quickly, dizziness rushing in. “No,” she whispered. “That… that can’t be right.” He nodded. “You’re about six weeks along.” Six

Scarlett sat on the edge of the hotel bed, staring at the untouched room service tray on the table. The luxurious suit felt hollow. Temporary. Like her life had been reduced to a series of waiting rooms, each one colder than the last.Elena bustled around the room, folding Scarlett’s clothes despite the fact that there was no home left to return to.“You should eat something,” Elena murmured.Scarlett shook her head. “I can’t.”Elena sighed, placing a glass of water on the nightstand. “You can’t live like this, Mrs. Carter.”Scarlett flinched. Mrs. Carter. How much longer would she even be able to call herself that?“Elena,” she said softly, turning to face her. “You don’t have to stay here. Go home.”Elena stiffened. “No.”Scarlett reached for her hand. “I mean it. I won’t let you become a…” Her voice wavered. “A destitute because of me.”Elena’s eyes flashed. “And what will you do? Stay in this hotel forever? You can’t even go home.”Scarlett swallowed hard. She knew. God, she knew.

It had been 2 solid months since Scarlett lost everything she held dear. She had been invited to Liam’s and Amelia’s engagement party, and even if she knew that the reason she got invited was so they could mock her. She had gotten ready in her best ball gown and taken a ride to the venue anyways.Scarlett stood at the edge of the ballroom, her fingers curled into fists at her sides. This was her money. Supposed to be her life, but they snatched it away cruelly. And here they were celebrating.Liam, dressed in a tailored black tux, lifted his glass as he stood center stage, arm wrapped lazily around Amelia’s waist. She was looking radiant in a red silk gown, the deep neckline barely decent, her lips painted a cruel shade of wine.“To the future Mr. and Mrs. Deveraux,” a guest toasted, prompting cheers.Scarlett’s stomach churned. She stormed forward, the sound of her heels lost beneath the music. Gasps rippled through the crowd as she grabbed a champagne flute off a passing tray, and h

The jet touched down on Chicago’s private tarmac with a smooth glide, the hum of the engine fading as the wheels kissed the ground. Scarlett exhaled softly, her gaze fixed out the window. She had left this city a different woman, vulnerable, desperate, forced into a corner.Now, she was back. And this time, she was the one holding the leash ready to unleash hell in them.She turned in her seat, her eyes landing on the small sleeping figure curled up under a soft pink blanket. Her daughter. The very reason she had fought, planned, survived. Scarlett reached out, brushing a stray curl from Ava’s delicate face before pressing a kiss to her warm cheek."Mummy will be right back, baby," she murmured, her voice softer than it ever was with anyone else. "You stay with Daddy, okay?"Ava stirred slightly but didn’t wake, her tiny hand clutching at the blanket.Scarlett straightened, her walls snapping back into place as she turned to Adrian, who was already watching her with that unreadable ex

Scarlett stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the mansion, her eyes fixed on the sprawling city beyond. Chicago was just as she had left it, it was loud, ruthless, filled with people who thought power was something they could hold in their hands.She exhaled, rolling her shoulders back as she turned toward the room behind her. The first move had been executed perfectly. The custody hearing was delayed, Daniel was struggling under the weight of a scandal, and now, the second act was soon to begin as soon as Daniel made his move.She had seen the look of shock on his face in the courtroom, she wanted to crush him as fast as possible.“We should move to the next phase.” She told Adrain, who was lounging effortlessly in the leather armchair across from her. He didn’t look up from the whiskey glass in his hand. “Scarlett.” His voice was smooth, calm. “Rushing will only make this messy.”She narrowed her eyes. “He is already gasping for ai

The camera flashes burned into Daniel’s retinas, but he kept his expression controlled, he knew anything he said in that moment would sound like an excuse, so he had to leave the podium to sort the problem out. He had perfected this over the years, smiling even when the walls were caving in. He walked with measured confidence away from the conference hall, his bodyguards clearing a path through the sea of reporters, their hands up to block the aggressive microphones shoved in his direction. Questions flew at him, they were all sharp and demanding. “Mr. Carter, what do you have to say about the leaked footage?” “Did you pay to silence Miss Delacroix?” “Is this the end of your aspirations?” Daniel didn’t flinch. He just smiled, as if amused by the spectacle, and let them talk. As he slid into the back of his SUV, the door shutting out the frenzy, his muscles tensed. The second he was inside, he let out a slow, sharp exhale. “Drive.” The SUV pulled away from the flashing lights, t

Daniel leaned back against the plush leather seat of his SUV as he spoke. To his mild surprise, Valerie sounded calm, almost amused. “Did you think I wouldn’t?” she asked. Daniel smirked. “I thought you’d at least let me enjoy a few more hours of freedom before lecturing me.” She laughed softly. “Oh, Danny, you know I never waste my energy on lectures. I assume you’re handling it?” “As we speak,” he confirmed, drumming his fingers against his thigh. “Though I hate to ruin your little vacation, it might be time for you to come home. We need to remind the world what a perfect couple we are.” There was a brief pause. Then, in that same silky tone, she responded, “Of course. I’ll need the jet.” Just like that, she was settled. There were no arguments and no unnecessary discussion. Valerie understood the game perfectly, she had fit seamlessly into his world from the start. “Good girl,” Daniel murmured before ending the call. He let the phone drop onto the seat beside him, exhaling

Scarlett sat elegantly on the couch, legs were crossed. The muted glow of the television illuminated her sharp features as she watched the news unfold. “CASPIAN MOREAU CONFESSES TO DOCTORING CARTER’S SCNADAL VIDEO — CLAIMS IT WAS A MALICIOUS HOAX.” The footage cut to a clip of Caspian, who was handcuffed and surrounded by police officers. His face was pale, gaunt, his lips trembling as he addressed the cameras outside the precinct. “I… I deeply regret my actions,” he stammered, eyes darting around like a trapped animal. “It was a terrible mistake. I was acting out of personal bitterness, and I didn’t think about the consequences. Mr. Carter is an innocent man, and I apologize for the damage I’ve caused.” Scarlett exhaled slowly, swirling the deep red liquid in her glass before taking a sip. “That was fast.” Adrian, reclining on the other end of the couch with his own drink, smirked. “Daniel moves quickly when he needs to clean up a mess. He can’t let a little scandal ruin his per

Scarlett pushed open the heavy oak doors to Adrian’s office without hesitation.The scent of leather, aged whiskey, and a faint trace of cigar smoke filled the space. Adrian sat behind his desk, sleeves rolled up just slightly, leaning forward as he spoke to a man across from him. The other man was sharp-eyed and dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, nodded along, his fingers tracing over the stack of documents spread between them. Their discussion was hushed but intense, timing, leverage, plausible deniability.Scarlett didn’t interrupt.She took her time, letting her gaze flick over the financial reports, confidential memos, and encrypted emails scattered across the desk. Adrian didn’t look up, but he acknowledged her presence in that easy, knowing way of his. "How did your visit go?"Scarlett smirked, stepping further into the room. "Amazing. Amelia was shocked out of her wits." She sank into one of the chairs across from him, stretching her legs lazily. "She didn’t even try to h
