The Heir's Secret, The Patriarch's ClaimThe Heir's Secret, The Patriarch's ClaimAeliana ThorneLanguage: English4+ 541.6K wordsOngoingIntroductionJulian Sterling was the city's golden boy, and I was the fool who sacrificed my brilliant scientific career to play his perfect, submissive wife. On our third anniversary, while the world swooned over his live-broadcasted dedication of a multi-million-dollar diamond necklace to me, I was staring at a photo of that exact same diamond—resting against the bruised collarbone of his mistress. He thought I was permanently trapped by my father's astronomical medical bills. He thought he could play the exhausted, devoted husband at my hospital bedside, only to step out and escort his pregnant mistress to the maternity ward down the exact same hallway. He was dead wrong. I traded my ruined designer silk for my old lab coat, ready to reclaim my genius and burn his pristine reputation to the ground. But I didn't expect the violent storm that followed, nor the terrifyingly powerful man who stepped out of the freezing rain to shield me. Cillian Sterling. Julian's ruthless, untouchable billionaire uncle. 'Julian warned me to stay strictly away from you,' I trembled, completely cornered by his overwhelming masculine presence. Cillian's dark eyes dropped to my lips, his voice a dangerous, predatory whisper that sent shivers down my spine. 'Good. Because I have absolutely no intention of ever giving you back.'RomanceDivorceCEOIntelligentRegretAffairIndependentContemporaryDrama804 ChaptersOngoingMay You LikeToo Late to Claim MeVicious BoundariesWrapped in Betrayal: Divorcing the Vance HeirBought by the Billionaire: The Surgeon's Midnight ContractThe Billionaire's Blind MistakeRise from the Ashes: The Billionaire's Ultimate ObsessionAccidentally His: The Billionaire's TrapONE LAST BREATH:My Cold Husband's RegretHis Empire, Her Rules: The Billionaire's Fatal DivorceBorn in Chains: Hiding the Billionaire's HeirRead now
