Shattered Illusions: The Ghost Designer's ReturnShattered Illusions: The Ghost Designer's ReturnAsh-to-AsterLanguage: English18+ 408.1K wordsOngoingIntroductionI was Clara Vance, the perfect, invisible wife. While I sat in a freezing hospital trauma center, bleeding from a massive car wreck, my husband, Desmond Mercer, and our seven-year-old daughter, Hazel, were busy comforting his rumored lover over a twisted ankle. 'Mom is superwoman, she doesn't feel pain,' my daughter scoffed. That night, sitting in the dark with my untreated wounds, I realized my decade of sacrifice was a pathetic joke. They didn't know the only reason Desmond's sister was a 'celebrated jewelry designer' was because I ghost-sketched every single piece for her. They had no idea I was the missing co-founder of the Aurelia Group, the very design empire Desmond was desperately trying to partner with. I left the signed divorce papers and walked out of the sprawling Mercer estate with nothing but a suitcase. Desmond sneered, thinking I was throwing a desperate tantrum and would crawl back in a week. He was wrong. Months later, at the world's most prestigious jewelry exhibition, Desmond proudly escorted his lover to the center stage, expecting to meet the legendary, anonymous genius designer of Aurelia Group. When the heavy velvet curtains parted, I stepped out, bathed in blinding spotlight, wearing a masterpiece that made the entire room gasp. Staring down at my ex-husband's pale, horrified face and my daughter's tearful realization, I smiled coldly. 'Mr. Mercer, to even bid on my work, you'll have to liquidate your entire company first.'RomanceHidden IdentityDivorceCEOStrong Female LeadColdCheatingCleanAngstHeartbreak326 ChaptersOngoingMay You LikeBillion-Dollar Divorce: The Heiress's Ruthless ReturnWreckage of Our Paper VowsThe Man Behind My Husband's SmileRuined Silk and Vengeful SparksDiscarded Devotion: The Billionaire's Late AwakeningThe 300K Breakup: Claimed by the Ruthless PatriarchThe Ex-Wife's Billion-Dollar CheckmateVows of Treachery: Claimed by His Ruthless BrotherBorn in Chains: Hiding the Billionaire's HeirThe Fallen Heir's PriceRead now
