Phoenix Rising: The Scarred Heiress's Revenge

Xiao Hong Mao

I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband's aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason's coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason's mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I'm starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.

Amelie's POV

"Eh, are those two your lovers?"

I accidentally saw two photos of different men on Matilda's smartphone -- my adopted sister. Both photos were taken in almost the same pose, Matilda was standing with the man on her left, they were smiling and looking very happy.

"Put down my smartphone, Amelie. You've invaded other people's privacy!"

"I envy you, you can get one or two men with just the blink of an eye. Sigh, won't you share one of these two men with me?"

"Amelie, didn't you hear what I said earlier?!"

Amelie Chyntia is the name my adoptive family gave me, I never knew my real name and family. Mother said, in the winter of twenty one years ago, there was a knock on the door of this house and I was already in a baby basket complete with clothes and a torn piece of paper. Even though I wasn't born into this family, I still consider them family, especially my mother who has taken care of me until I grow up.

"Don't open my smartphone without permission, Amelie, everyone needs privacy!" Matilda stepped closer with a cup of chocolate in her hand.

"All rights, all rights." I nodded lightly.

At the same time, the sound of a car approaching and stopping in front of the house. Looking out of my sister's bedroom window, I saw a white car with several people in it.

Seeing that they had come, I immediately came out of the room to meet them and left.

"Where are you going, Amelie?!" shouted Matilda from inside the room.

"There's a reunion party tonight, I have to go. Maybe I'll come home tonight, don't lock the door, Matilda!" I continued screaming as I ran.

Get into the car, there are already three of my friends in it. I sat next to Chesna, a tomboyish looking girl with short purple hair in a peek a boo style. Meanwhile, my other two friends, Gwendolyn, who likes to sing, are driving the car and Hailey, who is sitting next to her and is busy putting on make-up.

The car slowly drove back along the road that night. There weren't many vehicles passing by, maybe because the air was quite cold tonight.

The sound of music echoes in a room hosted by a black female DJ, around her people enjoy the night in their own way.

"You look at that guy over there, he's so handsome!" Chesna said, she rarely praises men, unlike what happened tonight.

The other three pairs of eyes turned in the same direction. They saw a man sipping beer. He was wearing a white shirt with the top three buttons open, making him look hot and sexy. Not only that, his arms were also rolled up, showing his arms with strong muscles. His eyes were sharp looking forward, he seemed to really enjoy his drink.

"OMG, you're right, Chesna. He's even better than my boyfriend," said Hailey, she really has a character like Matilda who can like many men at one time.

"It's a shame, we already have a boyfriend. Looks like it's Amelie's turn to get one," said Gwendolyn, her eyes teasing me who was sitting to her left.

I sipped a glass of beer, then placed it roughly on the table. "But I don't feel attracted to him, he's just ordinary."

The three of them chuckled, it seemed they already knew my lie. Indeed, I also see him the same as my three other friends, he is handsome, hot and sexy, but is it possible for me to approach him? Ah, what kind of thoughts are these!

As the night went on the bar got busier, I was still sitting with my three friends when more and more people arrived.

I blinked when my vision suddenly blurred. Looks like I've had enough to drink.

"Uhm, how about we play truth or dare?" Hailey made a suggestion.

"That is interesting!"

We did a suit and the result was Gwendolyn was first, I was second, then followed by Hailey and in last place was Chesna.

"Truth or dare?" Hailey asked.
