His Cold Denial: Love After Divorce
Kachi Lucy · Completed · 220.7k Words
Introduction
"I wasn't planning to eat it anyway," I said calmly, rubbing my stomach. "I have better taste than that. And I don't want anything, or anyone, that might harm my child."
She loved him in silence. He denied her without remorse. Alvara was forced into a marriage with the billionaire who took her innocence, only to discover it was a nine-month trap.
Forced into a marriage built on cold rules and public lies, Alvara quickly learns that being a wife does not mean being wanted. Every kindness has conditions. Every smile hides control. And every mistake is hers to bear alone.
When the marriage ends, Alvara walks away with nothing but scars and a vow never to be weak again.
Years later, she returns...changed, guarded, and no longer willing to beg for what she deserves. But the man who once denied her isn't ready to let go.
In a world ruled by power, pride, and regret, can love survive after divorce… or is denial the one thing that never truly ends?
Chapter 1
Alvara
"Who got you pregnant?"
My mother had asked the same question more than twenty times.
I stood by the door, unable to answer, tears streaming down my face as my chest rose and fell painfully.
"Alvara, who is responsible for this pregnancy?" she asked again, her voice breaking.
"Talk to me!" she cried. "Have you forgotten where we come from? Our struggles? Have you forgotten everything you promised me? Is this the promise you were talking about?"
She was crying now, and the sound shattered something inside me.
God, I never wanted this.
I never wanted to be the reason my mother cried.
How do I tell her that he is the one responsible?
This wasn't how it was supposed to end. I had believed him. He said he loved me. He said he would take care of me.
Gathering the little courage I had left, I walked closer to her.
"It's Adrian," I said softly, my voice barely audible. "He's responsible."
She sprang up from the couch.
"Which Adrian?" she asked, disbelief heavy in her voice. Fear, confusion, and questions filled her eyes.
"What do you mean, Alvara?"
"He's the only man I've ever slept with," I whispered. "He's responsible."
"Oh God… Alvara, why?" she cried. "What do you mean by Adrian?"
"He said he loves me, Mom," I said through sobs. "He said he would take care of me."
She said nothing. She only cried harder.
"I'm sorry, Mom," I whispered. "I never wanted to disappoint you."
Still, she didn't answer.
After a long moment, she stood up abruptly, grabbed my wrist, and dragged me out of the house toward the main building.
The moment we entered, Mr. Maxwell and Mrs. Seraphina turned toward us, shock written all over their faces.
"What is going on, Ingrid?" Mrs. Seraphina asked immediately.
"Alvara is pregnant for Master Adrian," my mother said between sobs.
Mr. Maxwell straightened, his gaze sharp.
"What nonsense is this?" Mrs. Seraphina exclaimed. "Adrian only returned last month. My son could never do such a thing."
"Alvara," my mother snapped, turning to me. "Open your mouth and repeat exactly what you told me."
"He's responsible," I said quietly, twisting the hem of my shirt. "He's the one who got me pregnant."
Mrs. Seraphina burst into mocking laughter.
"My son slept with you?" she asked incredulously.
I lowered my head, tears falling freely.
"I need you home immediately," Mr. Maxwell thundered into his phone. "Be here in five minutes."
Adrian arrived shortly after, deliberately late, as expected of him.
He walked straight to his mother, then glanced at me and my mother, confusion flickering across his face.
"Did you get Alvara pregnant?" Mr. Maxwell demanded.
"Pregnant?" Adrian asked. "What are you talking about?"
"Answer me," his father barked. "Did you sleep with her?"
"Yes," Adrian said after a pause. "But it was just once."
His eyes shot daggers at me.
"What do you mean by once?" Mrs. Seraphina snapped. "Does the number determine pregnancy?"
"That doesn't mean I'm responsible," Adrian scoffed. "Who knows how many men she's slept with?"
"Shut up!" Mrs. Seraphina yelled.
"My daughter is not a prostitute!" my mother screamed. "She was a virgin before your son took her dignity!"
"Enough," Mr. Maxwell said firmly. "Ingrid, take Alvara back to the quarters. We'll inform you of our decision tomorrow."
We left in silence.
Back at the quarters, I didn't go inside. I sat outside instead, unable to face my mother. My mind drifted back to three weeks ago.
Flashback
"I love you, Alvara," Adrian said softly. "I've always loved you. I've watched you grow into a beautiful woman."
I smiled shyly, sitting on his lap in his room.
"I love you too Mr Adrian."
"We're past 'Mr. Adrian,'" he said with a smile. "Call me by my name."
"But what if your parents find out?" I asked nervously. "Will they accept me?"
"That's a lie," he said confidently. "My parents adore you, especially my mother."
I blushed.
"You know we're going out tonight, right?"
"I can't," I said. "I still have work, and my mom……"
"They'll handle it," he interrupted. "Your mom won't object."
He pulled out a neatly wrapped box and handed it to me.
"What's this?" I asked excitedly.
Inside was a gold necklace with the initials
A.D engraved.
"Oh my God," I whispered. "I love it."
He helped me put it on, his lips brushing my shoulder.
When I turned to him, his gaze had changed, heated, intense.
He kissed me softly, then pulled back. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that."
"It's okay," I said quietly. "I don't mind."
I will be twenty-five soon. Still a virgin. And I trusted him.
"I don't want to force you," he said.
"I'm ready," I whispered.
He kissed my lips, neck and almost every part of my body, making me tickle.
One part of me wanted him to stop, but the other part wanted him to proceed.
He was acting so fast, like one who was impatient or something.
His breath was so rough as he pulled down the hand of my dress and made it reach my waist level.
I gasped as he took my left nipple into his mouth, tickling me.
I shut my eyes and held his hair tight, feeling so different - an uncanny feeling I'd never experienced.
End Of Flashback
Tears rolled down my face.
No matter what his parents decided, I would keep my baby.
The Next Morning
I stood in the bathroom, my hand resting on my stomach.
A life was growing inside me.
Was I strong enough?
Could I really do this alone?
"Alvara, come out," my mother called.
"Let's go."
When we entered the main house, the family was already waiting.
Mr. Maxwell cleared his throat.
"What happened between our children is unfortunate," he said. "But they are adults. However, my company is at a critical stage. We cannot afford media attention."
He paused.
"We've decided they will get married, after a paternity test. If it's positive, the wedding will be on Saturday. Adrian will provide for her. They'll live elsewhere."
My mother nodded gratefully.
"Please take care of my daughter," she pleaded.
"She's carrying my first grandchild," Mrs. Seraphina said with a smile.
I looked at Adrian.
His eyes were filled with anger.
Everything was happening too fast.
I was marrying my childhood crush…
but would he ever accept me as his wife?

My Husband's Secretary Wore My Dress
Those words shattered Vivian's heart.
For three years, she endured her husband's coldness and his secretary's endless provocations.
She never knew that the woman he trusted most had stolen her identity.
Or that the man she loved had secretly loved her all along.
When the truth finally came out, it was already too late.
Vivian had divorced him.
She had disappeared with his unborn child.
And she had no intention of coming back.
Five years later, the former ballerina returned as the sole heiress of a powerful family.
Standing beside her was a little girl with eyes identical to Caden Lux's.
The billionaire who once ignored her had gone mad.
He blocked her in the dressing room, knelt before her, and even accepted the possibility that another man had taken his place.
Because losing his pride was nothing.
Losing Vivian had nearly killed him.
But after everything he had done…
Could she ever forgive the man who chose another woman over his own wife?
Bloodright
Ashveil University is not what it looks like in the photographs. The students here carry something that shifts their eyes at the edges of anger. The northwest trees hold an attention that trees should not be able to hold. And the empty chair at the council table, the one nobody sits in, the one nobody explains, has been waiting three hundred years for one specific person to arrive.
Nobody told Adaline she was that person. They classified her as Dormant. A blank space in a file. Nothing.
She is the opposite of nothing.
Beneath the campus, three ancient entities are waking up. Every house in the pack world wants to control what runs in her blood. The boy sent to assess her has stopped being able to do his job. And the woman who has been three steps ahead of everyone since before Adaline was born is not a villain. She is a warning. She is what Adaline would have become if nobody had found her.
The suppression field holding everything together is failing. The clock is running. And the only way to stop what is coming requires Adaline to give up the thing she can least afford to lose.
She already knows her answer. She decided before anyone told her the full price.
Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.
MOONLIT CHASE
But no, I had to walk through the park at midnight like an idiot. Now I've seen something I can't unsee—a massive black wolf tearing apart three men, then shifting into the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on.
Kieran Vaughn. Wealthy lawyer, werewolf, and apparently, he thinks I'm his mate.
Here's the problem: I don't do relationships. I definitely don't do supernatural things. I absolutely don't do rich guys who think they can control my life just because their inner wolf has decided I smell like home.
When hunters start targeting me to get to him, Kieran drags me into his pristine penthouse for "protection." Now I'm living with a man who looks at me like I'm his last meal, whose touch sets my skin on fire, and who's barely holding onto his control.
He says everyone he loves dies. I say that's not my problem except it is because I'm falling for this broken, dangerous man and his beast.
And in his world? Love will get you killed.
My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?
My Alpha's Fake Luna
Those were the last words my Alpha whispered before he severed our bond.
I believed our marriage was over.
I was wrong.
For two years, I thought Alpha Michael never loved me.
Every misunderstanding pushed us farther apart.
Every silence broke another piece of my heart.
While another woman slowly took my place.
But everything changed after the death of the Grand Alpha.
My mate began watching me.
Protecting me.
Holding me whenever I fell.
Looking at me like he was terrified of losing me.
If he hated me...
Why did he keep risking everything for me?
And why did everyone panic the moment I finally chose another future?
