Aurelia Holt had quietly sacrificed her career to be a stay-at-home wife for her husband, Blake Carson, so that he could work full time while also pursuing his dream of becoming a successful producer in the future. 

But on the night of their second wedding anniversary, she watched her husband come home with another woman in his arms. It was Stella, his first love whom he was never really over. 

“She is already upset, you don’t have to make her feel worse. Is it wrong to show care and concern for my friend?” He argued as he clenched his jaws and kept his gaze steady on my face.

“She isn’t just your friend, she was your ex, your first love. And isn’t it so convenient that everytime she needs you or something happens whenever I just want to spend some time with you?” 

He had always chosen Stella over her, putting her needs and feelings above hers. And that night, she finally had enough. 

“All you ever care about is Stella!” I continued to yell so loudly that I could practically hear my voice ringing in my ears. “You always do this! You always choose her over me, you always put her feelings above mine.” 

I watched as a smirk tugged at Stella’s lips as she watched me argue with my husband over her. Blake walked to her side, wrapping his arm around her as she curled her fingers around his arm with a pitiful look.

“Stop yelling, you are scaring Stella. Why can’t you be more understanding and stop being so self-centered? Not everything is about you!”

The last thing she remembered was her running out into the pouring rain and the next thing she knew, she was asking a stranger to marry her. That stranger was Xavier Wilder, the billionaire CEO of one of the most successful companies in the country. But there was more to him that Aurelia didn’t know just yet, something he was hiding from her.

Together, she vowed to make her ex-husband’s life a living hell. There were only two things he cared about the most―his reputation and his ego. And she planned to destroy it all, bit by bit.

Pampered by my Billionaire CEO Husband

I looked at her with curiosity burning in my eyes and anticipation hung on my face as I waited for her to say something. My words caused her to hesitate for a while and I watched as she inhaled deeply before letting the words leave the tip of her tongue.

"Evelyn knows that …I know she isn't my biological daughter," she revealed and I felt my blood chill as my heart sank to the pit of my stomach.

I looked at her with wide eyes. "How did she…" My voice trailed off and she knew exactly what I was talking about as she answered my question without me having to complete my sentence just yet.

"I let it slip," she muttered under her breath as she lowered her head and averted her gaze in shame, guilt laced her voice. "It's my fault," she confessed, the words leaving a sour taste in her mouth as a defeated look was stretched across her face.
