The Billionaire Ex-Wife Returns

Vanessa Saxon was once married to Luca Kensington, the cold and distant CEO of K Group. But when she was seven months pregnant, her adopted sister, Beatriz Langley, falsely accused her of having an affair with her best friend, Daxton Radcliffe, and carrying his child. The worst part? Luca believed Beatriz.

In a fit of rage, Luca demanded their baby be removed prematurely, leading to a tragic event where Vanessa nearly died from the ordeal.

Saved by Daxton, Vanessa disappeared. Now, five years later, she returns—stronger and determined—alongside her daughter, Isla Saxon, to exact her revenge on those who wronged her.

Betrayal

The rain lashed against the window. In the darkness, Vanessa clung to her fading consciousness, counting the sound of water droplets echoing from outside. She strained to hear over the storm, her heart pounding as anxiety coiled tighter within her.

Suddenly, the door creaked open, a sliver of light slicing through the darkness of the room, and a familiar, beautiful face came into view.

The girl in high heels—Beatriz Langley—let out a mocking laugh and flipped on the room’s light. “Tsk... tsk... Still waiting for Luca to save you? Haha... Stop dreaming, Vanessa...”

She casually picked up a knife from the corner and sneered, “The golden girl, the treasure of the Ness Corporation—did you ever imagine this day would come?”

Vanessa watched as Beatriz brandished the long knife and rasped, “Beatriz, if you let me go, I’ll give you anything you want—my shares, the chairman’s position. I won’t fight you anymore.”

Vanessa felt as if she’d been struck by lightning, her body plunging into icy despair. “Beatriz, my mom raised you as her own. How can you be so cruel? She knew nothing of this.”

“So what?” Beatriz looked at her, amused, as though she’d just heard a joke. “Oh, right. Let’s not forget—you betrayed Luca, didn’t you?”

Vanessa’s face was full of despair, her voice breaking as she weakly denied, “I didn’t.”

“I know you didn’t,” Beatriz whispered in an exaggeratedly innocent tone, twirling the knife in her hand. “But Luca doesn’t believe you.”

She raised the long knife with both hands, her voice light but chilling. “I’ve answered all your stupid questions so you can die knowing the truth. Now, go in peace!”

With that, Beatriz lifted the knife and prepared to plunge it into Vanessa’s abdomen.

‘Bang! Bang!’

Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door. Beatriz’s hand froze mid-air, her face twisting in irritation.

“Beatriz, they’ve arrived,” a man’s low voice came from outside the door.

“What terrible timing.” Beatriz tossed the knife to the ground and looked at the trembling Vanessa with a smirk. “Congratulations, you get to live another hour.”

The sound of the door closing made the weight on Vanessa’s chest finally lift. She let out
