Elena Matthews appeared to have it all with her wealthy tycoon husband, Richard McDowell. However, her seemingly perfect relationship crumbled when she caught him red-handed with his step-sister in a hotel. Just when she thought life couldn't be worse, her brother and his wife died in a tragic car accident. Now, suddenly, Elena is tasked with being the legal guardian of her late brother's six-year-old son, and also set to inherit his business until her nephew is old enough to take over the billion-dollar enterprise. A year and a half later, rich and successful, when Elena returns to New York, her ex-husband can't stop begging her to take him back. And that's not all. The mysterious and domineering president of McDowell Industries, and the uncle of her scumbag Ex, wants to pursue her too. Strange, isn't it? But with a heart scarred by love's betrayal, will she risk it all for a man from the same family that shattered her world? Or will she fully embrace her boss lady status at Matthews Empire and shut love out for good? And what about those secrets she's been keeping—the ones that could blow everything up? And let's not forget about the revenge she's itching to dish out. Will she manage to have it all without getting burned? Or is this whole thing going to crash and burn before anything good even gets a chance to start? ——-S N I P P E T ——- “I tried to warn you, princess, but you always seemed to have your head in the clouds. But it's not too late, is it? Be my woman, and I promise to make you my queen," he whispered. To which Elena replied. "I have learned my lesson, Mister. Such lies can't move me anymore."

Bab 1

Chapter 1

This was the worst night of Elena Matthews’ life.

She sat in the dim theater, fingers drumming the armrest as the screen lit up with some sappy love story. Normally, she’d lose herself in the drama, but tonight, her mind was a million miles away. Then her phone buzzed.

Elena dug it out of her purse. Unknown number. The message hit like a punch to the gut:

Hotel Sunset. Room 721.

Her hands shook uncontrollably as she brought the device up to her face, reading the last text once again.

This wasn’t just a text—it was proof. Proof of the affair she’d suspected for months but refused to believe.

Cold rage flooded her veins. She shoved the phone against her chest, heart hammering. No way could she sit here now. She bolted from the theater, ignoring the stares.

She could explain to Danika later. Her best friends new movie screening was important, but it paled in comparison to the chaos now unfolding in her life.

Outside, Elena orders at her driver. “Hotel Sunset. Now.” As the car tore through the city, anger and confusion twisted inside her. The hotel’s neon sign glowed brighter with every block. No backing out now.

At twenty-five, Elena had been Hollywood’s golden girl—talented, gorgeous, destined for greatness. The kind of woman who turned heads everywhere, except around Danika. Those two were always on the same level.

They'd been thick as thieves ever since that first audition years back. Two hungry young actresses bonding over bad coffee and big dreams. Late nights spent scheming about how they'd conquer Hollywood together.

When Elena landed her first movie role? Danika was right there cheering loudest in the front row.

Then came Richard.

It was during the shooting of that movie that she first met Richard. Richard McDowell was the new CEO of the McDowell Media Group, a company responsible for financing and producing Blockbuster movies, including the first movie of Elena’s life. Richard was charming when he met her, and they hit it off right away. It was hard work getting close to Richard because of his social status. His status as a man of influence and power often landed him in trouble with women, which is why the few relationships he did manage to get involved in usually ended badly. Elena knew that. She read about him in the business magazines all the time. And yet she couldn’t resist.

Eventually, they began dating secretly. It was his idea, to “protect his image.”

And he was serious about it. There were no photos of them together, no public declarations of their romance on social media.

Only whispers among those close to them hinted at the truth. Then came the day when Richard surprised everyone by dropping to one knee right before Elena’s first award ceremony for the best debut actress and proposing marriage.

It was an unexpected shock to those who knew them because their relationship had been kept so private. But as Elena looked into his eyes, she saw genuine love and sincerity. Richard was certain about taking this major step that would change their lives forever. He seemed completely devoted to her.

Elena agreed. How could she not?

When he proposed before her first awards show, she thought she’d won at life.

What a joke.

#####

The elevator doors slid open on the seventh floor. Elena’s stomach churned. Part of her wanted to turn back, but the louder part needed to see this through.

A guy leaned against the wall near Room 721—leather jacket, toothpick dangling from his lips, texting like he hadn’t a care. He glanced up as her heels clicked closer. Without a word, he pulled a keycard from his pocket and held it out.

Elena shoved an envelope of cash at him. She didn’t ask how he’d gotten the key. Didn’t matter.

The guy vanished.

She stared at the keycard. The door loomed. One breath. Two. She slid the card in. The lock clicked.

Inside, the room was dark. But the noises from the bedroom? Crystal clear. Moans. Gasps. Skin slapping skin.

She forced her legs to follow the sound of moans. With trembling hands, she pushed open the last door that now stood between her and the absolute heartbreak. There, on the bed, lay Richard on his knees, cock shoved deep inside the woman she recognized too well.

“Oh, my God, baby. Yes, yes, please, don’t stop. You’re so amazing, darling. Ah” The woman cried out as Richard continued to thrust deep into her.

Her worst fear had finally come true. Richard was not the man who loved her anymore. Richard was not the man she fell in love with anymore either. No. He loved someone else. And what hurt the most was that the woman he was fucking was no one but his own step-sister.

Cecelia McDowell.

Richard, on his knees, pounding into Cecelia McDowell like his life depended on it.

“Oh God, yes! Don’t stop, baby—”

Hurt, and now disgusted, fierce rage burned through her, searing away the numbness and flooding her veins with adrenaline. It was at that moment that Elena grabbed the first thing she could get her hands on and threw it at her cheating husband.

Richard never saw the vase coming. The woman beside him shrieked in surprise, scrambling to cover herself as Elenas fury filled the room like a raging inferno.

Elena didn’t even feel the tears streaming down her face. “You… asshole,” Elena screamed, “How could you betray me like this!”

——————————

The roadside outside the hotel:

The leather-jacketed man crossed the street and slipped into the black car's passenger seat. He held out the cash envelope, but the figure in the backseat dismissed it with a wave.

"Keep it."

"How'd she take it?"

A shrug. "Not well."

The backseat man exhaled sharply, his gaze fixed on the Sunset Hotel's glowing facade. "Better she learns what kind of man she married."

Leather Jacket shifted in his seat. "You sure we did the right thing? Messing with her life like that?"

Silence hung heavy for a beat. Then, quietly: "She deserved the truth. Now maybe she's free."

A nice story. However, I find Richard really pitiful. He loves Elana very much but his marriage being destroyed by Danika and Cecelia. He’s totally a victim here. I believe if Simon didn’t appear in Elana’s life, Richard may have the chance to reconcile with Elana and have a happy marriage.

"You did this!" Her mother-in-law's shrill voice cut through the hospital corridor. "Look what you've done to my son!"The slap burned across Elena's cheek, but she bit down hard on her tongue instead of fighting back.Not here. Not now.Elena couldn't argue. That part was true.If it weren’t for the rage that blinded her, she wouldn’t have struck her husband with the largest vase in the room. The irony? Cecelia was the one who called 911.“I didn’t mean…I didn’t mean for it to happen like that. I just…I just wanted…” she tried to explain, feeling as though everyone in the hospital lobby was glaring accusingly at her, as if she had deliberately caused the situation."Liar!" Melinda shrieked. Every head in the waiting area turned. "You planned this!"It wasn’t, of course. It was just the hurt and her anger that brought out the worst in her. She didn’t know what she was doing until it happened. And now they all were standing outside the hospital room, waiting for the doctors to give th

Chapter 3
The Aristocrat Health Institute was one of the best private hospitals in the world. Not only was it the most prestigious, but not everyone could afford to pay its exorbitant fees. Despite this, many people high on the social ladder, including powerful politicians, bureaucrats, and business tycoons, sought medical treatment here. The highly trained and experienced doctors and nurses working there were always ready to go the extra mile for their patients. The Aristocrat Health Institute was also owned by the Matthews and Sons Group. Elena barely remembered parking. She burst through the automatic doors, heading straight for reception when a familiar hand gripped her shoulder. She turned to find Mr Jones standing with a taut expression on his old face. “This way,” Elena swallowed thickly and nodded. Her hands wouldn't stop shaking. She clenched them into fists as the elevator climbed, each floor lighting up like a countdown to disaster. "Just tell me what's happening," she demanded

Eighteen Months LaterNew York International Airport“The car is ready, ma’am.” Betty Adams told Elena, as she stepped out of the airport and glanced around the familiar city.New York had been her home for more than a decade, but after Richard’s betrayal and the accident that shattered her once-perfect life into millions of painful pieces, she couldn’t stay any longer. She needed a break. A change in the scenery. And so did Caleb. The boy had lost his mother and had almost lost his father, too, if not for Elena who refused to pull the plug.Elena nodded and adjusted the sunglasses on her face.She was tired, jetlagged, and hungry.After spending a year and a half in Milan, Italy, she was finally back home.Betty, her trusted personal assistant, led the way towards the awaiting car.Elena followed her, her mind drifting to everything that had happened over the past year and a half.It was still hard to believe that her brother had been in a coma for so long.

The next morning, as Elena barely stepped out of the car on her way to the NYC office, a beautiful woman in an equally stunning designer dress stood in front of her, blocking her way.Elena frowned, her four guards mere microseconds away from pushing the woman aside, when Elena’s gaze fell on the woman’s face, and a smile, full of surprise, cracked across her lips.“Danika?” Elena chuckled, silently gesturing her guards to stand back as a familiar face smiled brightly at her.“You slut!” Danika grinned, throwing her arms around her best friend. “You’re actually back, and the first thing you do is head for work? What kind of joke is that? Get on that phone and cancel all your plans. Today, you’re all mine. We are getting shit-faced drunk, and you’re telling me EVERYTHING. Is that understood?”Elena hugged her friend before pulling away. “Don’t you think it’s too early to get drunk?”Danika laughed heartily, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Not early enough to not have a good time now

Simon Walsh gazed at the transparent hologram of the old artefact revolving in the air, his deep and dark eyes glistering in deep contemplation.This was going to be the next treasure in his collection.He could finally tell where the crown came from: Byzantine, and once belonged to a concubine who lived in the early 400. The last three red rubies dangling between two white pearl strands were carefully wrapped in platinum chains, making a dazzling decoration, just like any royalty jewels.And to think about how lucky he was for the final negotiation to be able to buy the crown?Simon let out a self-deprecating grin, remembering how many times he nearly lost the item, with his secret rival throwing hundreds of bidders between the table to completely confuse the entire market.Despite losing her nearly thrice, Simon would soon have the crown in the palm of his hand. He was certain of it, for no other jeweller in the States could afford that beauty with the price he had settled down at.T

Paris - One Year AgoThe clock struck midnight when Elena finally pushed through the glass doors of her office building. Twelve straight hours of negotiations had left her spine fused into the shape of her chair. Parisian air—thick with cigarette smoke and diesel fumes—never smelled so good. She leaned against the cold stone facade, rolling her stiff shoulders. Finally. Fucking. Quiet.Then reality sucker-punched her.Caleb's sleepover meant an empty apartment. No sticky fingerprints on her tablet. No marathon debates about whether velociraptors could beat T-rexes in a fight. Just her, a half-empty fridge, and the ghost of a marriage that had blown up spectacularly.She'd tried the dating scene. Three disasters masquerading as men:1. The finance bro who ugly-cried when she mentioned commitment.2. The "ethically non-monogamous" sculptor who wanted her to meet his wife.3. The baby-faced barista who kept calling her "mommy" during sex.Work became her rebound relationship. Mergers did

"So," he murmured, twirling a loose curl around his finger before giving it a playful tug. "Wanna get out of here?"Elena blinked. She hadn’t even told him her name, yet here he was, looking at her like he already knew her. And honestly? She wasn’t complaining. She’d come to this bar for exactly this—someone hot, someone who knew what they were doing. And damn, did he ever."I don’t know," she lied, biting her lip.He leaned in, his breath warm against her ear. "Yeah, you do."A shiver ran down her spine. It had been way too long since she’d felt this kind of heat.Before she could overthink it, his hand slid into hers, pulling her between his legs. His lips brushed her neck, slow and teasing, and she let out a soft sigh. His mouth moved lower, tracing her collarbone, his tongue flicking against her skin just enough to make her gasp."Mm, you like that?" he murmured, nipping at her earlobe.Elena’s breath hitched. "Oh—""More?" His hands slid down to her ass, gripping just enough to m

The guy looked up with a wicked grin. "Not yet," he whispered. Elena huffed but knew arguing was pointless. He had her right where he wanted her. His mouth trailed lower, leaving burning kisses until he reached between her legs. A soft kiss on her inner thigh made her shiver before his tongue dragged slowly up her slit. She gasped as he flicked her clit - once, twice - sending jolts through her whole body. "Fuck!" She gripped the sheets, eyes slamming shut as pleasure built. When his fingers pushed inside, she shattered instantly. Her back arched off the bed as she came hard, soaking his hand. But he didn't stop. That devilish tongue kept working her through the aftershocks until she was limp and panting. "Holy shit," she breathed, blinking up at his smug face. "Ready for round two?” All she could do was nod weakly as he rolled on top of her. Their mouths crashed together - she could taste herself on his lips, which only turned her on more. "I need you," she begged. "Now."

As Elena spun around the dance floor with Danika, she couldn’t help but smile. But the same beautiful smile faltered when Danika gave her a twirl and she ended up bumping into someone. Someone who was made of mountains from his height and well-defined muscles. Elena’s heart almost stopped when she looked up and came face-to-face with a tall man wearing a black and silver mask. He had dark hair and eyes that seemed to peer into her soul. For a second, she almost forgot to breathe, something about him felt strangely familiar to her. And then he smiled at her and her heart almost melted into a puddle at his feet. “Sorry about that,” the man said in a deep, smooth voice that sent shivers down her spine. “I wasn’t looking where I was going.” Elena shook her head, trying to regain her composure. “Of course, you were,” she smirked, slowly distancing herself from him. “You’re standing on the dance floor. Of course, you were looking.” The man’s eyes crinkled in amusement at her response. “
