Lilian Hartley was betrayed by her sister. She drugged her and lured her into a one-night stand with the CEO of Cadwell Industries, Grayson Cadwell. This led to a loveless marriage to the CEO, Grayson Caldwell. Another secretive plan stripped her of her family's fortune; she was divorced and sent packing, only to return as a competitive CEO of a rival conglomerate. Now, she's back in New York, ready to get back at Grayson with a vengeful plan and a secret that would tear Grayson's life apart. But fate had other plans. Even as Lilian is bent on tarnishing Grayson's image, her feelings for him return, and this poses a hindrance to getting her revenge. Now, she must confront the memories of five years ago. With secrets and betrayal waiting at every corner, will she be able to trust the man who once treated her like she meant nothing to him, because he is the only one she can trust? Or will the past sins pull them into a bubble of hatred, one which they might never burst out of?

Chapter 1 THE COMEBACK

New York's fresh air blew Lillian's scarf as she got off the aeroplane. She gazed at the sky, the sunlight causing her skin to gleam and reinforce her beauty. "Welcome to New York, my babies," she announced as she grinned at her twin kids, Charles and Charlie.

They were delighted to be in the country their mom had told them so much about. She gripped their suitcase aircraft carrier in one palm while the other hand took Charles, who held Charlie as they walked to the airport entrance, lifting each step with determination.

People who stared at them couldn't help but marvel at how beautiful and confident she looked, as well as how charming the kids were.

"Hey, Lillian Hartley, great to see you back in New York!" She looked up and recognized her friend James, who was waving at her.

"OMG, James, it's been a long time; how have you been?" She replied, hugging him.

"I couldn't help but come myself to receive you back. I mean, it's been five years," he added.

Then, as if discovering the kids, he exclaimed in excitement, "Are those Charles and Charlie?" He crouched down to their height and caressed their cheeks, all the while singing their praises about how lovely they had grown.

The children looked on with innocent confusion on their faces, as they couldn't recognize the man who seemed so excited to see them.

"Charles and Charlie, meet James, a good friend of mine," Lilian introduced, making the once-confused children smile.

"Hi Uncle James, it's lovely to see you; Mum has told us so much about you," Charles stated, smirking. James was still grinning, showing how overjoyed he was to see all of them. He couldn't help but regard how much Lillian had changed. The transformation was so evident in the aura she was giving. She looked bold and controlled, contrary to the broken Lillian he knew.

"I will show you to the car," James announced after a moment of awkward silence.

"Are you back already, or did you just come to do something?" James asked, while adjusting his seatbelt and making eye contact with Lilian, who had sat comfortably in the back seat, leaving the front seat for her kids.

"It's final. I am back in New York for good," she answered confidently.

"I am so glad to hear that. So, where do you plan on settling, your former apartment?" He asked inquisitively.

"Nah, I bought a house in Williamsburg. It's where we'll be settling," she stated.

James started the car and drove off after inputting the address Lillian had given him.

"Why are you back in the country, though? I never thought you were going to come back after everything that happened," he asked with a concerned look on his face.

"That was in the past, and besides, I came back for business."

"Business?"

"Well, you will find out about that later," she replied and chuckled, leaving James in a state of pleasant surprise.

They continued catching up on old times until they arrived at her house. He pushed into the compound and parked his car.

"I am glad you are back, Lillian," he repeated, smirking.

"Me too, James, me too," she retorted. They got out of the car and moved their luggage in.

The interior of the apartment was so striking that James's jaw fell in awe.

"Welcome home, ma'am," Irene, the nanny she had hired for her kids, said as she received them.

After settling in, Lillian invited James to have lunch with them. During lunch, Lily proposed a question that surprised James. "Would you like to go to the New York Exchange businessmen's party with me?" As if James's mouth were glued shut, he couldn't pronounce a word. He had read and heard about the gala; he knew it wasn't a place for low-class business people like him.

The gala was rumoured to be a place where top businesses in the City meet for all kinds of deals. How Lillian got an invitation is what he can't yet place.

"I mean, the invitation said to come with a plus one, and the only friend I have right now who can come with me is you. So, what do you say?" Lillian continued.

"Of course, I would love to go with you", he finally said after carefully thinking about how many connections he was going to make just by being at the party. "Thank you", Lillian muttered.

"No, thank you. You don't know how much my life is gonna change with this invite," he countered. Lily smiled as they continued eating.

James stayed for a while to play with the kids before he finally left.

After retiring to her room to rest for a while, Lillian received a call from her PA.

"Have you settled in already, ma'am?" she heard immediately after she picked up.

"Yes, I am. I won't be resuming my till next week, so clear everything till then," She said sternly and ended the call. She was finally back with a beautiful plan to get her revenge on those who hurt her in the past: Grayson Caldwell, her ex-husband, and Lily Hartley, her sister.

She was going to accept her boss's offer to be the CEO of the New York branch of Verox Industries, a company she had worked for while in Canada. This company is a rival of Caldwell Industries, and that was a perfect way to target both.

It was eventually her turn, and she wasn't going to stop until she ruined all they owned. Her eyes shone with a firm resolve, and her face tightened with intention.

**********

It was the day of the event, and Lillian wore a long, sleeveless emerald gown which accentuated her curves. Her brown hair fell onto her shoulders, and her heels were high enough to make her look so elegant. After hours of prep, she was finally good to go.

James called her to say he was in the living room. The kids were already fast asleep, so she headed to their room to plant a goodnight kiss on them before heading downstairs to meet James.

James couldn't take his eyes off her as she made her way down the stairs, totally mesmerized by her beauty. He was dressed in a green suit, making him look domineering.

"Oh wow, you look gorgeous," he exclaimed.

"You don't look bad yourself," she replied, smiling. He took her hands, escorted her to the car, and drove off as soon as they were comfortable.

On arriving at the event, he held the door to the car for her in a courteous way and bowed with his hands for her. She grabbed it, and they walked into the building. Her business partners welcomed Lilian.

"Welcome to New York, Miss Hartley, it's nice to finally meet you," many of them greeted her as she walked in. James excused himself from her immediately and went ahead to make connections with people he knew mattered.

Lily sighted a married couple who happen to be partners in the company where she works. She approached them, and they exchanged pleasantries immediately after they saw her.

They were chatting about business and the like when she heard her name. She turned.

There they were, her nemesis.

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.

I had been a wife for exactly six hours when I woke up to the sound of my husband’s heavy breathing. In the dim moonlight of our bridal suite, I watched Hardin, the man I had adored for years, intertwined with my sister Carissa on the chaise lounge. The betrayal didn't come with an apology. Hardin stood up, unashamed, and sneered at me. "You're awake? Get out, you frumpy mute." Carissa huddled under a throw, her fake tears already welling up as she played the victim. They didn't just want me gone; they wanted me erased to protect their reputations. When I refused to move, my world collapsed. My father didn't offer a shoulder to cry on; he threatened to have me committed to a mental asylum to save his business merger. "You're a disgrace," he bellowed, while the guards stood ready to drag me away. They had spent my life treating me like a stuttering, submissive pawn, and now they were done with me. I felt a blinding pain in my skull, a fracture that should have broken me. But instead of tears, something dormant and lethal flickered to life. The terrified girl who walked down the aisle earlier that day simply ceased to exist. In her place, a clinical system—the Valkyrie Protocol—booted up. My racing heart plummeted to a steady sixty beats per minute. I didn't scream. I stood up, my spine straightening for the first time in twenty years, and looked at Hardin with the detachment of a surgeon looking at a tumor. "Correction," I said, my voice stripped of its stutter. "You're in my light." By dawn, I had drained my father's accounts, vanished into a storm, and found a bleeding Crown Prince in a hidden safehouse. They thought they had broken a mute girl. They didn't realize they had just activated their own destruction.
