Return of the Heiress: I married my ex-husband's brother Return of the Heiress
Yvette’s eyes flickered, but she feigned innocence. “You’ll see soon enough.”The grand estate of Emerald Ridge was bathed in soft lilac hues.From the cascading floral arrangements adorning the marble staircases to the delicate crystal chandeliers shimmering overhead.Every detail was a testament to the prestige held by the Walkers.Powerful politicians, elite business moguls, and aristocrats from prominent families all appeared at the banquet.They were all people the Elliots would never dream of approaching.While the Elliots were revered in Auburn Hills, their reach was confined to that city alone.The Walkers, however, were an unshakable force in the capital.One of the oldest aristocratic families with roots running both into wealth and power.But this empire wasn’t built overnight.Dylan Walker, the patriarch, had carefully expanded their business, Pristine Enterprise, into multiple industries.However, they mostly focused on the jewelry empire.And at the heart of this empire

“Quite the evening, Miss Walker.”Elena froze mid-step.Her eyes constricted as they locked onto the man who appeared before her.Lucas Evans.The man stood with his usual cold, commanding presence, but his expression was shrouded with darkness.His towering figure loomed before her, like a predator in a finely tailored suit.Lucas took a step forward and suddenly pointed a gun at her head.“You…”Elena’s heart pounded in her ears as she instinctively stepped back.“How many more secrets are you hiding, Elena?” he asked, his voice laced with menace.Elena’s lips parted slightly, but no words came out.The man who had once saved her life was now standing in front of her with a weapon aimed at her head.“Answer me.” Lucas’s voice dropped further.The cold steel of the gun pressed against Elena’s forehead, but she didn’t flinch.Instead, her delicate fingers wrapped around the barrel, her dark blue eyes locking onto Lucas with an intensity mirroring his own.“This wasn’t part of our deal

The news about Elena becoming the next CEO spread like wildfire, but the outcome was unexpected.Inside the Pristine Enterprise.The long mahogany table stretched across the room, surrounded by a dozen stern-faced directors.Dylan Walker sat at the head of the table.While Elena sat beside him, her back straight and her face expressionless.The conference room buzzed with tension as the board members voiced their frustrations.“Chairman,” one of the senior directors, Mr. James, began, “Miss Elena has been absent from the family business for years. How can we trust her to suddenly manage an empire she hasn’t been a part of?”Another director chimed in, her glasses perched low on her nose as she stared at Elena. “We’re talking about the Pristine Enterprise, one of the largest conglomerates in the country. This isn’t some playhouse where positions can be handed out based on family ties.”Murmurs of agreement rippled through the table.“Chairman Walker,” Mr. Lee, one shareholder, interjec

The weight of her words hung heavily in the air.Now no one could accuse her of nepotism or use her parents’ influence to shield herself from risk.One of the older directors couldn’t hold back his curiosity and spoke. “You’re willing to shoulder the entire financial risk of this project… on your own. Can I ask why?”“Yes,” Elena answered without hesitation. “Because I believe in this project. And I believe in myself.”Elena’s confidence wasn’t born out of arrogance.The partnerships she proposed were strategic and, if executed well, could elevate the Pristine Enterprise’s status globally.Elena’s lips curved into a faint smile as she continued. “I spent the last few years observing, learning, and strategizing. I may have been away from the company physically, but I’ve been monitoring everything. The Pristine Enterprise is my family’s blood and sweat, and I intend to protect it.”The shareholders exchanged glances, their expressions a mix of respect and intrigue.It wasn’t every day s

Vanessa rose from her chair and stormed out of her private room.The doors to Room No. 6 loomed in front of her, and without bothering to knock, she pushed them open.Inside, seated comfortably on a leather chair, was a man Vanessa had never seen before.He was tall and composed, with dark brown hair styled, and piercing eyes that glimmered with amusement.The corners of his mouth curled into a smirk as if he had been expecting her.“Hello, Miss Walker,” the man said lazily, swirling the champagne in his glass. “I was wondering how long it would take for you to visit me. You’re quicker than I expected.”Vanessa paused for a split second.Then her fiery temper flared.“Who the hell do you think you are? Are you purposely trying to mess with me?” she snapped.The man chuckled, feigning innocence. “Mess with you? Oh no, Miss Walker. I’m simply participating in the auction. Isn’t that what we’re all here for?”The nonchalance in his tone made Vanessa grit her teeth. “Enjoying the auction?

The launch of “Elara”, Pristine Enterprise’s first jewelry line under Elena's leadership, was finally live.The ballroom of the most luxurious hotel in Country C was transformed into an ethereal fairy tale.The venue was filled with anticipation, as every seat had been claimed by the crème de la crème of society.As the lights dimmed, an enchanting melody filled the hall.A hush fell over the crowd.One by one, models glided down the runway, each adorned in pieces that were nothing short of masterpieces.Necklaces, earrings, and bracelets sparkled like constellations, dazzling the audience with their brilliance.But the true highlight of the evening came with the showstopper piece, a jewelry set aptly named ‘The Rising Phoenix’.Gasps filled the hall as the last model took the stage.Cameras flashed incessantly, capturing every angle of the masterpiece.Every piece in this collection was crafted with the finest gemstone.The vibrant reds, fiery oranges, and shimmering golds within the

Thomas nodded grimly. “Yes. Throw them to the public while we quietly secure whatever remains of our empire. It’s the only way.”Richard took another drag from his cigarette before crushing it into the ashtray.In fact, he had the same thought in his mind.Facing a calamity, the Elliots never hesitated to go to extreme lengths.Back then, he had also thrown his ex-wife out.If he can do it once, why wouldn’t he do it again?Just as he was about to agree, the door burst open with a loud bang.Samantha stormed inside, her face contorting with disbelief and anger.“How dare you!” she roared. “How dare you even think of throwing us out like this? After everything I’ve done for this family.”Richard’s icy gaze landed on Samantha. “You and your son have done enough for this family. Now it’s time for you both to pay the price,” he said mercilessly.“No…” Samantha’s voice trembled as she shook her head. “You can’t do this to us, Richard. We’re your family. We’ve stood by your side through ever

Chloe cradled the toddler, rocking back and forth in her arms, but nothing worked.The baby’s cries filled the space, and it was now beginning to annoy her.She was exhausted, physically and emotionally, and this wasn’t helping.Andrew was more direct.He was already in a bad mood and the non-stop cries made his anger explode.“Can’t you make her stop?” he snapped.Once again, Chloe tried to hush her daughter.But the child’s wails continued, and Andrew’s irritation deepened. “Why did you even bring her?” he hissed.Chloe finally looked at him, her eyes revealing a hint of exhaustion. “And who would’ve looked after her back home? You think we have the luxury of nannies anymore?”The little girl’s face was bright red, her small features scrunched up in discomfort.But as a first-time mother, Chloe did not know what was wrong with her daughter.What was worse was she did not try to find out, either.“Both of you are nothing but a liability,” Andrew spat, his voice dripping with venom. “

Four years later.The snow-covered peaks stretched endlessly, a breathtaking expanse of white under the pale winter sun.“Again!”Ethan laughed, his bright eyes gleaming with excitement.He was bundled in a white ski suit, his tiny gloved hands gripping the ski poles.Lucas crouched beside him, adjusting the boy’s stance with practiced ease.“Feet apart, shoulders steady,” he instructed, his deep voice laced with patience. “And don’t lean too far forward, or you’ll—”Before he could finish, Ethan pushed off, wobbling slightly as he slid down the gentle slope.“—fall,” Lucas muttered, shaking his head as Ethan toppled over into the soft snow.A giggle rang through the air as Ethan flopped onto his back, arms spread wide.As Ethan grew older, his features bore a striking resemblance to Lucas, except for his gorgeous dark blue

Isabella’s lips trembled. “I—I thought—”“You thought?” Helen’s voice cracked, a bitter laugh escaping her. “No, Isabella. You chose. You chose Mike. You chose yourself. And you threw Lucas away again.”Helen’s chest rose and fell with the force of her emotions.Looking at Isabella, she felt nothing but bitter disappointment.“We never blamed you,” Helen said. “Not when you lied about your death. Not when you left your son behind to fend for himself,” she continued, her voice cracking. “And this is how you repay us?”A choked sob escaped Isabella’s lips.She reached for Helen’s hand, but Helen took a step back.“You could’ve asked for help. You could’ve told anyone. But instead, you sold out your own family. Your own grandson.”Helen looked at Isabella with eyes full of grief.“D

“I have lived long enough to witness the rise and fall of generations, but tonight… tonight, I feel truly blessed. This child is not only the blood of our Evans family but the future that will carry our legacy forward.”He turned toward Lucas and reached out his aged hands.Lucas stepped forward, carefully handing Ethan over to his great-grandfather.Harold cradled the child with surprising gentleness, his usually stern eyes softening as he looked down at the tiny face.Under the watchful eyes of the entire Evans family and the influential guests present, Harold personally opened the ancient Evans family record book, an heirloom that had documented the bloodline for centuries.With a brush dipped in ink, Harold carefully wrote down the name Ethan Lucas Evans in bold strokes.The moment the ink touched the paper, it symbolized Ethan’s official entry into the Evans family tree, a position that no one could ever challen

He nudged Elena, who carefully handed the baby over.Everyone watched as Harold’s rough hands, once used to commanding empires and instilling fear, trembled slightly as they cradled the tiny life in his arms.The moment the child settled against him, Harold’s fury melted away.Helen stepped closer, her own hands clasped over her chest as she peered down at the baby. “Oh my God, he’s so handsome.”Harold’s eyes reddened once again.This was the blood of the Evans family…“Look at him,” Harold’s voice cracked. “He’s got the same sharp brows as Lucas when he was a baby.”Lucas’ eyes softened.The little one stirred slightly, his tiny hand clenching into a fist.A faint smile spread across Harold’s face as he gently patted the baby’s chest.“From this day onward,” Harold announced, his voice filled with pride a

ACE’s face immediately turned terrifying.“Winter.” He said warningly. “You’re not allowed to joke about that.”Her heart skipped a beat.No one knew better than her how scary this man was once he got angry.Wrapping her arms around his neck, she rubbed her face against his cheek. “All right, all right. Don’t be fierce.”ACE sighed helplessly.He could make world leaders shut up with a single glance, yet before this woman, he was always at the losing end.No matter how ruthless he was outside, when it came to Winter, he had no bottom line.He let her act coquettishly and turned around. “What do you want to eat?”Winter’s eyes instantly lit up.Her hubby was so good to her.She latched onto his arm without hesitation, her voice filled with excitement as she rattled off a long list of dishes.“…”Jayden, w

Lucas only smiled.Back when he resided in Country K, Lucas had found himself entangled with the Black Vipers, a ruthless underground syndicate known for their brutal dealings in the underworld.To survive and walk out alive, Lucas went undercover as Rocky.He played his role flawlessly, climbing their ranks, gaining their trust, and dismantling their core operations.By the time he left Country K, he thought he had completely destroyed them.Yet, fate proved him wrong.Like cockroaches that thrive in darkness, they waited for the right moment to resurface.Lucas knew their weaknesses.Their hideouts and the fractures in their foundation.The cops knew it, too.That’s why they came to him, not as a suspect, but as an asset.They needed someone who could infiltrate deep, someone with a personal stake in bringing the Black Vipers to their knees.And when the authorities realized the extent of his

Jayden Luxton strode toward them, his sharp gaze sweeping over the scene.Dressed in all black, he exuded the same air of danger and authority as Lucas, but his approach wasn’t hostile.Not this time.“Everything is ready.” He said, giving him a small nod.Behind him, the hospital staff rushed forward, quickly transferring Elena onto a stretcher.As the stretcher started moving, Elena’s fingers slipped from Lucas’.She stirred slightly, her fingers weakly grasping at his sleeve before her strength gave out.The sight nearly shattered him.The stretcher was wheeled straight into the emergency room, disappearing through the doors.The woman, who had been by Elena’s side the entire time, turned to Lucas. “I’ll take care of it.”Before she could enter the operating room, Jayden’s arm shot in front of her.Wariness flickered across his face.The

Elena’s pulse quickened. “What—”“Just do it.” His tone left no room for argument.Ten minutes later, a sharp, piercing scream resounds from inside the bedroom.The guards patrolling rushed inside, and what they saw blew their minds.Elena lay on the cold, hard floor, her body curled in on itself.A dark pool of blood spread beneath her, soaking through her dress.Her face contorted in agony, sweat beading along her forehead as she gasped for air.Before her stood Hunter with his fists clenched at his side.His usually sharp gaze was unfocused, drowning in a drunken stupor.One of the guards cursed under his breath. “What the hell did you do, Hunter?!”Hunter swayed slightly, his movements sluggish. “I just wanted to… wanted to hold her hands. But she wouldn’t let me.”“The baby…” Elena rasped, her lips trembling. &l

Elena’s face turned pale.“Don’t overdo it, Hunter. We can’t afford any accidents before the smuggling.” Reed reminded him.“Relax,” Hunter replied coolly.He grabbed Elena’s chin, his thumb dragging across her cheekbone as he tilted her face left, then right.“Damn. What a pretty face,” he mused, his tone almost appreciative. “That b***ard Lucas really lucked out, huh?”Elena pulled away her face from his grip and glared at him. “Don’t take his name from your filthy mouth.”Hunter sneered. “Touched a nerve, did I?”Elena’s glare was colder than ice.Hunter crouched before her, bringing his face level with hers. “I don’t have a good temper, woman.” Hunter continued, his voice slow, deliberate. “So, if you dare piss me off…”A cold metal suddenly touched Elena’s belly.
