Love-triangle

She dreamed of a fairy tale. He turned that dream into a ruthless contract. Olivia Bailey was an executive at her father’s engineering company. Romantic and devoted, she had always dreamed of building a family, and believed she had found that future beside her boyfriend. On the night she decided to give herself to him, she was drugged by her own boyfriend who planned to “sell” her virginity to his boss in exchange for a promotion. But a mix-up of hotel suites changed everything. Olivia ended up in the arms of a cold, womanizing CEO who didn't believe in love or happily-ever-afters. From that forbidden night, an unexpected pregnancy was born. Desperate to save her brother from ruthless loan sharks and protect her father with heart disease, Olivia used the card left behind that night to pay the debt… and ended up in the hands of Liam Holt. He needed to marry and produce a legitimate heir to inherit his grandfather’s fortune and keep his empire. She had no way out. Under pressure, she agreed to a one-year contract marriage, pretending to be the perfect wife of a billionaire. Between hatred, desire, and secrets, Olivia discovered that pretending forever was impossible… and that this contract could be her prison, or the path to a once-in-a-lifetime love.

Lyra Vale spent five years building a digital system powerful enough to control financial markets and government infrastructures without leaving a trace. She built it in love, in trust, and in the belief that she was creating a future with the man she loved. She was wrong. Her ex-fiancé didn’t just betray her—he destroyed her. He stole her work, claimed her brilliance as his own, and shattered her heart in the cruelest way possible. With the help of her step-sister and best friend, he stripped her of everything: her identity, her power, and even the child she believed she had lost forever. Cast out of the empire she created, Lyra is left with nothing but rage, betrayal, and a burning need for revenge. So she turns to the one man her ex fears most...Xavier Thorne.

Years ago, someone he trusted like family stabbed him in the back, leaving scars no amount of wealth could erase. Since then, he has built his empire on control, power, and emotional detachment. Lyra offers him something irresistible: the key to bringing his greatest rival to his knees. What begins as a strategic alliance quickly turns into something far more dangerous. Their shared hunger for revenge pulls them closer, blurring the lines between hatred and desire. But everything shatters when Lyra discovers the truth. Her daughter..the child she had given up ...is alive and living under Xavier’s roof… as his daughter. Now, revenge is no longer just personal, it’s devastating. Love has a price. Revenge has a cost and some betrayals demand blood.
