From Heartbreak to Payback: The Billionaire's Ex

Bailee Johnson was sick of always being second best. After her husband cheated on her and lied during their divorce, leaving her and her daughter with nothing but the clothes on their backs and the small business she had worked so hard to start, Bailee shrugged off everyone’s suggestions to put him in her past and move forward.

Oh, she was going to, but not until after she took him down, even if it meant using his business rival to do so. Unbeknownst to her, that business rival just so happens to be her brother’s best friend, the first man to have ever broken her heart. The closer she gets to him, the more feelings resurface from their past, and the harder it is to lie.

Caleb: I’m on my way, baby. I’ll be there soon.

I felt like I was hallucinating. My hands felt tingly, and my vision blurred as I stared at the screen.

I knew he hadn't been happy for a while. He had made that clear with all his harsh words, but I thought that was just because of our struggle with having a baby.

It had taken us two years to make our beautiful little girl. For the past year, we had been trying for another, a boy this time if we would be so lucky, but it seemed that wasn't in the cards for us. At least, it wasn’t for me. According to my fertility doctor, I was the one with the issues.

He was just fine, a fact he and his family never let me forget and had openly come to hate me for.

I didn't wait for our driver to return for me.

I didn't want him to warn Caleb that I was on to him. Instead, I grabbed the keys
