Ava thought she had lost everything, until fate led her back into the arms of the powerful brothers she thought were gone forever.

Billionaire's Regret: Ex Returns Chapter 1 Divorce

She was 6 weeks pregnant.

Ava Smith walked slowly into the living room and sank onto the sofa, wrapping her arms around her knees, her mind swirling with uncertainty. Clutched in her hand was the pregnancy test report she'd received just an hour ago.

She absentmindedly touched her stomach, a storm of anxiety building steadily inside her.

It has been two years since they got married but it hadn't thawed the ice around Logan Smith's heart. Her unwavering loyalty felt more like a cruel joke in return.

Still, she couldn't stop herself from hoping-maybe the baby would change things. Maybe he'd finally care.

Just then, the sensor at the entrance chimed.

A man stepped inside-tall, commanding, dressed in a sharp black-and-gray suit that emphasized his broad shoulders and slim waist. His eyes were cold, unreadable, and piercing.

His gaze swept across the room, his expression unreadable, his handsome face distant and cold.

Ava stood up quickly, holding the test report tightly in her hand. She took a breath, ready to speak. "Logan, I have something to-"

"We need to end this," he said, cutting her off without hesitation. "These are the divorce papers, sign it."

Ava froze, the words catching in her throat as she stared at him in disbelief and then asked. "Why?"

The man gathered his eyes and began to speak. "You aren't needed. I married you because my father made it the only way to inherit his properties. I wasn't going to allow my hard work to go to the snake. I have all I need now and I think you are useless now. My true love is back. Arabella is back!"

Logan's phone rang and he answered. "Arabella what's wrong? Are you okay?" It was the woman.

Ava's heart ached. She stared at the man in front of her in disbelief. She knew that his heart only belonged to his mistress.

Her marriage to him for 2 years was filled with hatred. Every word he uttered made Ava's heart ache the most. She had been jealous of Arabella. Every time he called her he showed her care that she never deserved. It wasn't her fault that she was forced into this marriage. Her mother caused all this and now she was filled with tears.

"I will be right there," that was his word which brought her back from her sad thoughts.

"Are you heading out?" Ava asked, her voice tinged with sadness.

"Well as you can see, I have something so important to handle, every discussion can wait."

"Really, is it because of that bitch?" Ava asked angrily.

"Shut the fuck up! It shouldn't be your headache if I am going to see anyone. All you need to do is to get back in bed and wait for me because that's all you do as a useless wife that you are." he said and stormed out angrily.

Ava clenched her teeth, trying so hard to suppress the tears. If Logan knew that she was pregnant, would he still ask for a divorce? Deep down, she knew that he wasn't the woman he loved. The real woman he loved was back. How was she going to live without him and the baby? In Logan's heart, she was just an insignificant trifle he could easily dump.

Ava sat on the sofa crying for so long. She remembered the first time she met him five years ago, how he handled her with love and care. Her reverie was broken by Logan's voice outside. She quickly got up, wiping her tears. Then the doorknob opened and then there was Logan standing and staring at Ava like she was a ghost.

"Logan? What are you doing back? Aren't you supposed to be with Arabella?" she blurted out.

"That shouldn't be your problem. Back to what I said about the divorce. Sign the divorce paper and get out of my life."

"What if I don't agree?" she asked, her voice trembled as she stared at him.

Logan seemed to have known that she wouldn't agree and his tone was mocking. "I am not asking for your opinion. Do you think I love you? You irritate me."

Her heart hurts the most and this time she couldn't hold back her tears. "Logan Smith, you agreed to marry me first. I never forced you to marry me. How can you even think of a divorce?"

He stared at her angrily. "You know who I love, if my father hadn't forced me into getting married to you, do you think I would have given you more than a passing glance? I have made a big mistake."

Ava let out a short laugh. "Really, you said you loved me and cared about me. Now everything has changed just because that bitch is back! Where was she when you had a heart attack? She disappeared into thin air and now Arabella Carter came back claiming she loved you. Are you that foolish Logan?"

As soon as the word left her mouth, the man threw a hard slap in her face. "Who are you to tell me what to do? You have no right to call her name?

Ava covered her face, she was completely dazed, her delicate body couldn't stop trembling. It was the first time Logan had hit her just because of Arabella Carter.

Her heart stinger, as she snapped through suppressed sobs. "Why should I step aside for her? I am married to you and not willing to get a divorce.

A trace of impatience flashed in Logan's eyes as he pushed Ava down to the sofa and tore her clothes. "Ava you're such a bitch and I think you only need my dick to get better."

She pressed against the man's chest and stopped his fright. "Logan, are you crazy!"

Still Logan wasn't ready to stop, she pushed him away and quickly stood up. "Logan, what if I tell you I am pregnant. We are expecting a baby. Do you still want to get a divorce?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Logan's eyes. "You're pregnant?"

Ava searched Logan's eyes for a sign of reconsideration.

"Wasn't the last time an accident? Didn't I tell you to take care of it? You can't be pregnant.

"Really?"

Logan scrutinized Ava with a skeptical look before his tone returned to the initial harshness. "Well I don't care. The best thing is for you to get rid of the child and get the hell out of my life."

His words cut through Ava's heart like a thousand sharp knives leaving her breathless.

"You shouldn't take this so seriously. I will get the driver to take you home as soon as you sign the papers."

Hearing the sound of the door closed made tears she had held back for a long time flow down her cheeks.

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch-a titan of industry and my best friend's father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
