Chapter 2

Thaddeus Wilson and I were introduced by a mutual friend. Initially, I wasn't particularly interested in finding love at this stage of life, but the thought of growing old alone made me reconsider. So, with an open mind, I decided to get to know Thaddeus over the course of several weeks.

Compared to other men his age, Thaddeus was well-groomed and carried himself with a certain dignity. When we were together, he was attentive and caring, always noticing my moods and showing concern over the slightest worry on my face. I admit, his kindness warmed my weary heart.

Naturally, financial compatibility was an important factor in our decision to marry. I had started a company when I was younger and, though I'd sold most of my shares now, the dividends still provided me with a comfortable income. Thaddeus, for his part, had worked on the railways and received a good pension, around three to four thousand dollars. It all seemed to add up well, so we decided to get married.

I never imagined that things would change so quickly after we tied the knot. Suddenly, Thaddeus, who had been so considerate, started speaking to me in a different tone. I began to question whether this late-life romance had been a mistake.

That evening, Thaddeus brought me a bouquet, trying to make amends. Smiling, he handed me the flowers, though not in the most romantic way, and said, "Even though we're not young anymore, we shouldn't skip out on life's little rituals. I admit, today my daughter said some things she shouldn't have, but it wasn't on purpose. Can you let it go?"

Not on purpose? After all that had happened, he expected me to believe Kinsley meant no harm? What, I wondered, would count as intentional in his eyes?

I replied coolly, "Why should I? Just because I'm older, I have to defer to her whims? The saying goes 'respect your elders,' she ought to show me some respect first."

He was earnest in his apology, noticing my displeasure, and quickly tried to reassure me. "Kinsley was raised by my parents, so she can be a bit strong-willed sometimes. She's just acting out; she doesn't mean to be difficult."

He poured me a cup of coffee. "Roselyn, now that we've married, you should consider Kinsley as your own daughter. Surely there's no lasting grudge between a mother and daughter?"

"How about this, I'll give you my pension for the next few months as an apology. And once you're feeling better, I'll have Kinsley come over and apologize to you."

Thaddeus seemed sincere, and perhaps they really didn't know the true value of the bracelet? I thought it over. After all, we had just gotten married, and if we divorced so soon, wouldn't we become the talk of every neighbor and their afternoon gossip?

I sighed and decided to accept his explanation for now.

Call Me Fake Heiress? Now I Bought My Ex's Company Novel Cover
7.4
I never expected to be branded a 'fake heiress' and a 'scheming bitch' on my own wedding anniversary. "Did you really think we'd never find out you faked the DNA test?" My mother's voice cut like a blade. "You've been impersonating our real daughter all along." The irony was suffocating. They were the ones who stormed into my peaceful life, insisting that I was their long-lost child-no proof needed. And now they dared to call me the fraud. "Since Camille has finally returned to where she belongs," my father declared coldly, "it's time for you to crawl back into whatever shadow you came from." Then came the final blow. My husband of five years didn't even hesitate. "I'll have the divorce papers drawn up immediately. Don't make this difficult, Mirena. You were never meant to be my wife." Overnight, I was discarded. The scandal of the city. The woman who stole a life that was never hers. But they forgot one thing: I never needed them. Before I was George Ashton's wife, I was Mirena Sterling-the Investment Queen. The woman who broke Wall Street records before she turned twenty-five. A racing champion. A tech prodigy. I walked away from all of it. Gave up my empire. My crown. My name. All for a man who threw me away like garbage the moment someone "better" came along. Big mistake. On the night they cast me out, soaking wet and humiliated, I ran into the last person I ever wanted to see. "Look at you now, Mirena," Alexander Pierce murmured, watching me with those piercing eyes. "The woman who once ruled the financial world. Reduced to this." He tilted his head. "And for what? Love?" A dark laugh. "Pathetic." My former rival. The man who spent years trying to beat me-and never once succeeded. Now he stood before me, a Wall Street titan, watching my downfall with hungry satisfaction. He thought he'd seen the last of me. He was wrong. The game was simple now: drop the dead weight, reclaim what's mine, and remind everyone why they feared my name. Within months, I was back. Every market moved when I breathed. Every headline screamed my return. The Sterlings came crawling, begging for mercy they'd never shown me. And George? He watched in horror as I bought his most prized company without blinking. The divorce he'd so eagerly signed? His greatest regret. "Mirena, please," he begged, groveling at my feet. "Give me another chance." I didn't even look at him. "Sorry, darling. I don't recycle trash." But what I didn't expect was him. Alexander Pierce dropped to one knee in front of me-the man who had once mocked my fall, now looking up with something raw and undisguised in his crimson gaze. "I knew you'd take back everything they stole," he said, voice low. "Now..." A slow, dangerous smile curved his lips. "Take me too."
