The CEO's Trap: Reclaiming His Runaway Wife

Qing Hua Romance

“Five years ago, my billionaire husband, Graves Hammond, threw me out of our home for another woman without a second thought. I returned to New York with a new life, only to be cornered by him in a restroom, his eyes burning with a terrifying obsession as he demanded I come back to him. To escape, I lied and said I was already married to the Mayor of New York. But Graves didn't back down. Instead, he orchestrated a massive, humiliating trap. Under the guise of a dream job interview at a top corporate group, he locked me inside a CEO's office. He pinned me against the heavy wooden door, his massive frame caging me in. "Alena, stop running from me. Come back to me." He even used his connections to force my company to transfer me directly into his inner circle, stripping away all my choices. I couldn't understand it. When he chose Celine over me, he didn't show an ounce of mercy. Why was he now acting like a madman who couldn't live without me? Was it just a sick game of possession, or was he tied to the tragedy that had shattered my world back then? Staring at the forced transfer notice on my desk, my fear slowly morphed into a cold resolve. If he wanted to pull me into his web, I would use this chance to find the truth and tear his empire apart.”
