Unaware the pregnant wife he divorced was the multi-billionaire owner of the company. Her entire family worked for his mother poured dirty water on her at family dinner as husband and mistress laughed. What she did shock him and left his mother devastated. The night Marcus Morrison’s mother, Linda, poured a picture of dirty dishwater over his pregnant ex-wife, Felina, at their family.
Dinner should have been their final humiliation of the woman Marcus had divorced 6 months ago for being a nobody. But what Marcus didn’t know, what his mother, Linda, didn’t know, what his mistress Sarah didn’t know as they laughed and filmed the foul water dripping down Elellanena’s face and soaking her fivemon baby bump was that the pregnant wife Marcus had divorced was actually Elellanena Caldwell, the secret multi-billionaire owner and CEO of Caldwell Global Holdings.
the massive corporate empire that employed Marcus’s entire family. Every paycheck Marcus’s mother, Linda, received as executive assistant. Every dollar his father, Gerald, earned as senior VP. Every bonus Marcus collected as regional director. Every commission his mistress Sarah made as director of client relations.
All of it came from the company the pregnant wife Marcus divorced actually owned. the company that paid for the very house where Linda had just poured dirty water on the pregnant billionaire wife. Where Marcus and his mistress laughed at the woman who signed their paychecks, where the entire family mocked the multi-billionaire owner they were completely unaware was standing dripping in their foyer carrying Marcus’s child.
But Elena didn’t scream or cry as the dirty water and potato peels slid down her simple dress onto the Italian marble floor of her own company’s house. She just placed one hand protectively over the baby bump Linda had called a burden. pulled out her phone with the other and made a single quiet call that would devastate Marcus’s mother, shock Marcus to his core and destroy everything his entire family had built on the fortune of the pregnant wife he’d divorced without ever knowing who she really was.
That what was Elena about to do to the mother who just poured dirty water on a pregnant billionaire? How would Marcus react when he discovered the pregnant wife he divorced owned the company his entire family worked for? Why was his cousin Rebecca suddenly screaming, “No, Elena, please don’t knot them, too.
” As if she’d witnessed this exact devastation before, and what did the mistress Sarah not know about the jewelry she was wearing, and the pregnant wife she just laughed at while Marcus’s mother poured that dirty water? The Morrison family home in Westchester Hills had always represented everything Linda Morrison believed she deserved.
Crystal chandeliers, imported marble, designer furniture arranged just so. The kind of house that screamed success to anyone who walked through the door. And tonight, surrounded by her family at the mahogany dining table, Linda had felt powerful in control, ready to handle the Elellena problem once and for all.
She’d invited her former daughter-in-law under the pretense of discussing the baby’s future. But Linda’s real plan was simpler, cruer. She wanted Elena to sign papers, giving up any claim to Marcus’s life, his money, his future. She wanted the girl gone, erased, like she’d never existed.
