But when a doctor handed her a terminal bone cancer diagnosis, the fragile illusion of her life completely shattered. On the very night she needed him most, Gideon abandoned her to comfort his newly hired secretary—Mallory Blaine, his unforgettable first love. Instead of demanding a messy divorce or succumbing to Mallory's brazen, escalating provocations, Cordelia chose a different path. With only months left to live, she refused to fade away as a tragic victim in their twisted love story. She maintained her mask of the impeccably devoted wife, plunging them into a suffocating psychological war that slowly dismantled Gideon's sanity. But Cordelia's ultimate masterpiece of revenge required a sharper blade. Enter Killian Thorne: the mysterious, untouchable apex scion of Oakhaven, and the one man Mallory had desperately chased but failed to conquer. Cordelia is determined to use Killian to destroy the foundation of Gideon's pride. Yet, as she steps into the dangerous orbit of the city's most powerful man, the rules of her final game begin to blur. Will her calculated vengeance spark an undeniable, unexpected fire? And when Gideon finally realizes the brilliant, ruthless woman he is about to lose forever, will he be able to survive the fallout?RomanceLove-TriangleBillionaireCEOHeirBetrayalContract LovePregnancy580 ChaptersOngoingMay You LikeDiscarded Devotion: The Billionaire's Late AwakeningDesigning Her Revenge: The CEO's Anonymous Ex-WifeThe Escort's Billion-Dollar Bridal TrapFrom Ashes to Empire: The Ex-Wife's ReignBidding on the Billionaire: A Revenge SeductionHer Lethal Return: The CEO's PhantomHIS RUINED BRIDE: THE DEVIL'S REVENGE CONTRACTGilded Revenge: The Ex-Wife's Billion-Dollar EmpireCrashed & Claimed: The Billionaire's Secret RacerThe Counterfeit Wife's Billion-Dollar RevengeRead now
