The 300K Breakup: Claimed by the Ruthless PatriarchThe 300K Breakup: Claimed by the Ruthless PatriarchLucian VesperLanguage: English18+ 384.2K wordsOngoingIntroductionAudrey waited five long years to marry Adrian Hawthorne, only to be stood up at City Hall on Valentine's Day. The reason? His precious adopted sister, Giselle, had a minor hangover and needed his company. Instead of crying, Audrey wiped her tears, publicly dumped him, and demanded a $300,000 "appearance fee" just to play his fiancée at the family patriarch’s 80th birthday banquet. She thought she was simply cashing out and walking away. But she didn't anticipate the return of Vance Hawthorne—Adrian’s 33-year-old uncle, the terrifying mastermind of the family empire, and the very man Audrey accidentally confessed her teenage love to five years ago. At the banquet, while Adrian scrambles to treat Giselle's tiny paper cut, Vance slides a plate of food toward Audrey, his predatory, dark eyes locking onto her. Later, trapped in the intimate, scent-heavy confines of Vance's Maybach, the ruthless billionaire makes his intentions dangerously clear. Adrian thinks she'll eventually come crawling back. He has no idea that his worst nightmare has just decided to make Audrey the new queen of the Hawthorne empire.RomanceRevengeArranged MarriageForbidden LoveBillionaireCEODominantStrong Female LeadColdFace SlappingCheatingCleanHeartbreak249 ChaptersOngoingMay You LikeBillion-Dollar Divorce: The Heiress's Ruthless ReturnThe Fallen Heir's PriceDrowning the Vow: The Reborn Heiress Strikes BackThe Heiress Who Left Him DrowningTHE SINNER IN ROOM THREEThirty Days to VanishWreckage of Our Paper VowsThe Counterfeit Wife's Billion-Dollar RevengeVows of Treachery: Claimed by His Ruthless BrotherLethal Vows: The Syndicate Queen's RevengeRead now
