The Substitute Wife's Comeback

aaliyarozy
Three years ago, Sophie was James Ashford's temporary solution to a shareholders crisis. He needed a wife. She needed the money. They had a deal. For six months, Sophie played the perfect wife. She wore the right dresses, smiled at the right events, and made his life look stable to investors. She was invisible the way he wanted her to be. Useful. Forgettable. The moment the stock market recovered, James divorced her without blinking. He didn't even say goodbye. She got a check and a legal letter on the same day. Now Sophie isn't the desperate woman she used to be. She spent three years building something he could never break. She learned business in coffee shops and libraries. She made strategic investments. She made connections. She became indispensable to something other than James Ashford. When she walks into the Ashford Holdings shareholders meeting as the lead investor in a hostile takeover, the room goes quiet. James sees her face and his entire world stops. She's the woman he threw away. She's the woman who's about to take everything from him. And worst of all, he's just realized she was never supposed to be temporary. Now James has to watch Sophie dismantle his empire piece by piece while he remembers exactly how much he underestimated her. And Sophie has to decide if crushing him is worth losing the one thing she never thought she'd want again. His heart.

A TOWN FULL OF EVIL

Ajeji Village, once a quiet, humble town, hides shadows darker than anyone dares imagine. When Adegboyega returns to his childhood home after years away, he immediately senses that something is wrong—the air feels heavy, the silence is unnatural, and the familiar streets seem alien. What was once home now feels like a trap. As he moves through the village, he discovers that Ajeji is no ordinary place. Beneath its thatched roofs and dusty lanes lurk evil forces, manipulating the villagers and feeding on fear. Strange deaths, inexplicable events, and whispers of curses paint a picture of a town that thrives on darkness. Adegboyega, drawn by memories of his father and his own past, must navigate treacherous alliances, uncover hidden secrets, and confront forces far beyond human understanding. Throughout the first 21 chapters, the story unfolds as a tense battle between the ordinary and the supernatural. Adegboyega encounters allies and enemies alike—some villagers are unwilling pawns, others harbor dark intentions, and some, like his own family’s legacy, tie him inexorably to the town’s fate. Every step closer to the truth reveals deeper layers of corruption and ancient malevolence. By chapter 21, the stakes escalate: Adegboyega must face not just the town’s evil, but the shadows within himself. The village’s mysteries begin to intertwine with his own destiny, forcing him to question what is real, who can be trusted, and whether he can survive the darkness he has returned to confront. Ajeji Village is a story of suspense, horror, and the human struggle against unseen forces—where every shadow hides a secret, and every secret comes with a price.
