The Unwanted son-in-law Chapter 12: Avoiding ME!!
Zara’s POVEthan Windsor is avoiding me.Not just the normal, I-hate-you-so-I-won't-talk-to-you kind of avoidance. No. This is worse.He acts as if I don’t exist.Like nothing happened that night.Like he didn’t almost cross a line.Like he didn’t hurt me.And the worst part? He never even apologized.That bastard.I don’t know what’s worse his avoidance or the fact that it’s working. Because instead of hating him like I should, all I can do is think about him. Obsess over him.

The Unwanted son-in-law Chapter 16: Breaking point
Ethan's POVI don’t even know how it happens.One moment, I’m this close to closing one of the biggest contracts of the year. A $500 million deal that would solidify my position in the Windsor Corporation. Then next, I’m standing in front of Leonard Windsor, watching his cold, furious eyes bore into me as if I’m nothing more than a disappointment.“You’ve failed me for the last time, Ethan.” His voice is sharp, more like a final judgment. “You are to step back from all business matters immediately. Until I decide otherwise.”A heavy silence falls over the room. My fists clench at my sides.“What?” My voice came out way too low.“You heard me,” he says, standing up and adjusting his cufflinks like he hasn’t just ripped away everything I’ve worked for.I turn to loo
The Unwanted son-in-law Chapter 17: The break in
Ethan’s POV“This is the dumbest idea I’ve ever agreed to.”Lisa adjusts her black hoodie and smirks. “That’s because you don’t have my level of genius, dear brother.”I exhale, glancing at the massive Windsor skyscraper in front of us. A fortress of security cameras, biometric locks, and guards who wouldn’t hesitate to throw me out if they saw me.Sneaking in? Terrible idea.Sneaking in with Lisa? Suicidal.“Explain to me again why we’re doing this?” I ask, rubbing my temples.Lisa rolls her eyes. “Because whoever sabotaged you is smart. They covered their tracks online, meaning the only way to get proof is by physically accessing Windsor’s cyber department. And since I can’t just walk in and ask nicely…”“We have to break in.”Lisa grins. “Exactly.”I sigh. I should have just stayed unemployed.THE PLANLisa and I sit in my car, watching the security guards patrol.“Alright,” she says, typing on her laptop. “I managed to disable the main security cameras for exactly four minutes. Tha
The Unwanted son-in-law Chapter 18: What a nightmare
Ethan’s POVI grip the USB drive so tightly my knuckles turn white. Zara.She betrayed me.I should have expected it. I should have known she’d do something like this. But this?I glance at Lisa beside me, who’s practically bouncing in the passenger seat of my car, twirling a strand of her auburn hair around her finger.“Wanna play some music?” she asks, way too cheerful for what’s about to happen.I shoot her a glare. “Lisa. I’m about to expose my wife for sabotaging me. Maybe don’t act like we’re on a road trip.”She smirks, unfazed. “I process stress with humor, sue me.”I roll my eyes, exhaling sharply as I grip the steering wheel tighter. The Windsor mansion looms in the distance, its towering gates gleaming under the moonlight, casting long, ominous shadows over the gravel driveway.Lisa sighs dramatically. “You know, I don’t get why you’re so mad.”I clench my jaw. “She ruined my career, Lisa.”“Yeah, but..” she waves a hand dismissively..“maybe she had a reason.”I snap my head
The Unwanted son-in-law Chapter 19: Attractions
Ethan’s POVBlood. So much blood.Even after two days, the image wouldn’t leave my head.Zara lying there, her nightgown soaked in crimson, her body lifeless on our bed. The metallic smell of blood still clung to my nostrils. No matter how many times I washed my hands, I could still feel it on my skin.I never should have left.The hospital room was quiet except for the steady beeping of machines keeping her stable. The white walls, the scent of antiseptic, it all felt suffocating. Zara had been in a coma for two days now, and the wait was unbearable.Lisa sat beside me, scrolling through her laptop, her fingers moving rapidly across the keys. She hadn’t said much since we arrived, but I could tell she was frustrated.“All the CCTV footage from that night is gone,” she muttered, finally breaking the silence.I turned to her sharply. “Gone?”Lisa sighed, rubbing her temple. “Whoever did this knew exactly what they were doing. They wiped everything. No backups, no traces.”I clenched my

Chapter 44: Losing my mind
Zara’s POVI was losing my mind.Three days. Three whole days without my son.At first, I had told myself to be patient. That I needed to let the scandal die down before making any reckless moves. But patience was for saints, and I was not a saint.I needed to see him. Now.“I’m going,” I announced, standing up so fast that Veronica almost dropped her phone.She groaned from the couch. “Oh, for the love of…. !!! Zara, no. That is literally the dumbest idea you’ve had all week.”I crossed my arms. “And why is it dumb?”Veronica didn’t answer. Instead, she turned her phone around, shoving it in my face.The screen was filled with headlines.“Zara Windsor’s Party Meltdown—The Bitter Ex Who Can’t Move On?”“Zara vs. Ethan’s Fiancée: A Love Triangle Gone Wrong”“Ex-Heiress or Ex-Girlfriend?

Chapter 43: What An Intimate Moment
Victoria’s POVEthan was pissed. Not his usual brooding billionaire kind of pissed. No, tonight he was drunk-until-you-forget-your-own-name levels of pissed.And honestly? I couldn’t even blame him.Zara had just pulled the most spectacularly embarrassing stunt of the century at her own party, dragging me through the mud, calling me a husband snatcher, only for Ethan to drop the BOOM. We had dated for only three years.I mean, I knew she had issues, but that was next-level delusion.Now here we were, back at Ethan’s penthouse, and instead of just cooling off like a normal person, the man had grabbed a bottle of whiskey and was drinking like it owed him money.“Ethan,” I sighed, watching him from the doorway of the kitchen. “Maybe slow down?”He ignored me and poured another glass.I crossed my arms. “Drinking isn’t going to fix anything.”“It’s not supposed to fix anything,” he muttered, taking a long sip. “It’s supposed to help me forget how much of a circus my life has become.”I r
Chapter 42: Tables Turned
Zara’s POV I was going to make a statement.Not a quiet one, not a subtle one, a very loud, public, scandalous statement that would remind everyone, especially Ethan, exactly who I was.So, I threw a party.And not just any party, a Zara Windsor-level party. Expensive venue, exclusive guest list, champagne flowing like water, and music loud enough to make even the most uptight socialites loosen up, I knew that money was my saving but I don't give a fv*k.Because Ethan and Victoria are the real reason for this grand event. I sent them personal invitations. Because what’s the point of a spectacle if the main characters don’t show up?And to my absolute delight, they did. Oh, this Was Going to Be FunI had something to prove. Ethan wasn’t over me, no matter how many smug newspaper headlines tried to tell me otherwise. And Victoria? Please. She was just a placeholder, a speed bump on the road back to my rightful place by Ethan’s side.Ethan looked… Well, Ethan. Sharp, brooding, annoyin
Chapter 41: Visiting my father.
Zara’s POV I should’ve known visiting my father would be a mistake.And yet, here I was, standing outside Leonard Windsor’s office like a condemned prisoner walking to the gallows. I had barely stepped inside when his sharp voice sliced through the air.“YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.”Ah, yes. The warm Windsor family is welcome.I didn’t flinch as my father shot up from behind his massive desk, his face rapidly turning an interesting shade of red. His office, usually a cold, intimidating space designed to make people feel small, suddenly felt too cramped under the weight of his rage.I let out a dramatic sigh and flopped into the chair across from him. “Miss me, Father?”He slammed a newspaper onto the desk, his glare practically burning a hole through me."ETHAN CARTER & VICTORIA LEXINGTON – NEW YORK'S POWER COUPLE?"The headline was in bold, capital letters, as if it was personally taunting me. Beneath it was a photo of Ethan and Victoria walking out of some exclusive event, her

A ruthless, unstoppable and feared man.But none of it happened overnight.Five years ago, I lost everything: my dignity, my family’s company, my so-called wife. But instead of letting it destroy me, I rebuilt myself from the ground up. And now? Now I stand at the top, while the people who betrayed me crumble.I glance at the large screen in my office, where the news plays on mute."The Windsor Corporation is on the verge of bankruptcy after a series of failed investments. CEO Christopher Montgomery struggles to keep the company afloat."A smirk tugs at the corner of my lips, poetic justice.Chris thought he could take what was mine. Thought he could humiliate me, take Zara, and run the Windsor empire like he was untouchable.Now, the walls of his so-called empire are caving in.And Zara?She vanished.No one has seen or heard from he
Chapter 39: News Everywhere
Zara’s POV I wake up to my phone buzzing violently on the nightstand. The screen is flooded with missed calls, unread messages, and notifications from gossip sites. My stomach tightens.Something is wrong.With shaky fingers, I unlock my phone, and my heart nearly stops.WINDSOR HEIRESS HUMILIATED: HUSBAND CAUGHT WITH ANOTHER WOMAN!The words are bold, glaring, impossible to ignore. And right below them…A picture of Ethan, sitting in a dimly lit restaurant. Across from a woman. Not just any woman.But Victoria Lexington Her perfectly manicured fingers rest on his hand, her red lips curved into a knowing smirk. She looks too comfortable and too familiar, as if they have known each other for a long time now. And Ethan? He looks unreadable.But the damage is done.My hands tighten around the phone as I scroll through more headlines.ZARA WINDSOR: THE FOOLISH WIFE?ETHAN CARTER AND VICTORIA: SECRET RENDEZVOUS?THE WINDSOR MARRIAGE WAS A LIE?The comments are worse."Did she really thi
Chapter 38: The Fire We Can’t Escape
Ethan’s POV Victoria’s words replayed over and over. If I’m going to burn down the Windsor dynasty, I need the perfect weapon.I knew I was walking a thin line between control and destruction. Between playing the game and losing myself in it.But there was only one thing on my mind…Zara.The moment I stepped out of the car, my body moved on instinct. Lisa barely stirred as I carried her to the guest bedroom, tucking her in. Once I made sure she was settled, I turned toward the master bedroom, the place where my ghosts waited for me.The place where Zara Windsor had taken up too much space in my head, even when she wasn’t there.I stopped short at the sight of her curled up on the edge of my bed, fast asleep.Her dark hair spilled over the pillow, and the faint glow of the city lights cast soft shadows across her face. She wasn’t wearing one of her expensive dresses or the armor of arrogance she usually carried. Just a thin silk robe, barely covering the smooth curve of her legs.My
Chapter 37: To Victor Lexington mansion
Ethan's povI slammed the car door shut.The engine roared to life, tires screeching against the slick pavement as I sped through the rain-drenched streets. Neon lights and shadows streaked past in a blur, but my focus was razor-sharp.Lisa sat beside me, strapped in, her face pale but set with quiet determination. She was still weak from the hospital, but she was here. And we weren’t running anymore.Tonight, everything changed.I gripped the wheel tighter. Victoria Lexington.I’d signed the deal. Sold my name. My face. My goddamn soul.And the world ate it up."Ethan Carter: Victoria’s New Boyfriend!"The headlines were everywhere. A media circus, flashing cameras, reporters salivating at the scandal. They thought they had me figured out—a pawn, a desperate man clinging to the strings of a powerful woman.Let them think that.They had no idea what was coming.Lisa exhaled sharply. “Are you sure about this?”I didn’t answer immediately. The truth was, nothing about this felt right—bu
Chapter 36: Lisa is awake
Ethan’s POV I stepped into the hospital corridor with a heavy heart, my mind still reeling from the day's bitter turns. I made my way to Lisa’s room, where I was told she’d finally woken up. When I pushed open the door, I was greeted by the soft beeping of a heart monitor and the sight of my little sister, propped up by pillows and staring at the window. Her eyes, once filled with quiet mischief, now held a weight far beyond her years. Relief washed over me when she smiled weakly upon seeing me.“Ethan,” she said softly, her voice hoarse but steady. “I’m glad you came.”I pulled up a chair and sat beside her bed, taking her hand gently in mine. “Lisa, you have no idea how much I missed you,” I murmured, trying to mask the turmoil swirling inside me.After a few minutes of silence, she squeezed my hand. “I’ve been thinking,” she began, hesitating just for a moment as if choosing her words with care. “Ethan, yo
