My best friend covets my money and beauty, and together with my husband, they want to put me in a deadly situation. However, they didn't take action themselves; instead, they made my little maid play the role of the murderer.
My best friend, Tonya Harrison, coveted my wealth and beauty, conspiring with my husband to murder me.
However, they didn't act directly; instead, they manipulated our young maid, Maddie, into playing their dirty work.
Maddie Hall, barely twenty, came from a poor and naive background and was easily swayed by my husband's promises of money and affection.
She was always meant to be his pawn against me.
My husband, Chris Dent, was a classic self-made man-a man from a humble background who rose to success through hard work. During his university days, he was a standout figure, serving as the vice president of the student council and editor of the school newspaper. He had a voice that could captivate, and his looks attracted many admirers, which was why I noticed him first.
I wasn't just a pretty face; my family was wealthy and sophisticated. Besides, I was also really attracted by his outstanding abilities and charm. That was why I pursued Chris and eventually we became a couple.
My parents hoped for an attentive, caring, and brilliant man to join me in inheriting the family business, ensuring their hard-earned legacy wouldn't crumble in my hands.
After seven or eight years together, our relationship was solid, yet we couldn't escape the fatal curse of coming from different classes that evidently didn't match in marriage.
It wasn't that my parents looked down on him; on the contrary, my father always believed in him.
My dad, too, had risen from humble beginnings to achieve great things. He often joked about being a self-made man with a humorous take on his own experience.
Chris, however, harbored a deep-seated inferiority and pride, almost pathological.
This drive helped him stand out and reach my father's level, though he couldn't have done it without my father's support.
After pushing for marriage, we got married. Now, we'd been married for over a year, and my parents were eagerly pushing for grandchildren.
My father's health issues made having a child my sole focus.
He hired a young, attractive maid specifically to help me with the housework and take care of my daily life, so that I could focus more on preparing for pregnancy without being bothered by other trivial matters.
He insisted that even the maid should match my looks, lest our future child be unattractive.
We even went for pre-pregnancy health checks, which Chris initially resisted, arguing that we'd already done medical exams when we married just over a year ago.
Yet, he quickly scheduled the appointments.
A few days later, a high school friend invited me out, and I wondered why she reached out after so many years.
I told Maddie about my plans, asking her to inform 'Mr. Dent' if I returned late.
Chris liked to mimic the mannerisms of the wealthy families he saw in TV dramas. Therefore, he asked Maddie to call him that.
That evening, I returned home after several calls from Chris.
My face was pale, and both he and Maddie noticed.
Chris quickly signaled Maddie to run a bath for me, while he fussed over me as if we'd been apart for months.
Chris was always good to me, consistently so. Though I wanted to be angry at his urging, I held back.
As long as he treated me well, nothing else mattered. That night, I feigned exhaustion.
Understanding as ever, he didn't bother me. He even coaxed me, soothing me like a child with a gentle lullaby hummed from his resonant nose.
I had grown accustomed to this.
The night Claire Richards caught her husband cheating, she planned her revenge. She transferred billions in hidden assets, gathered undeniable proof of his affair, and destroyed the mistress's reputation. When Claire handed Lucas Bennett the divorce papers, he tore them to pieces. "Divorce? Not a chance!" Lucas snapped. But Claire only smiled. "The waiting period is over, Mr. Bennett. You're out." Sharp, stunning, and done playing nice, Claire steps into a world dominated by two powerful men: her furious ex-husband and the cold, mysterious CEO feared by all. But this time, she's calling the shots. Watch as a clear-headed woman takes control, turns heartbreak into strength, and brings the man who once cast her aside to his knees.
Noelle was the long-lost daughter everyone had been searched for, yet the family brushed her off and fawned over her stand-in. Tired of scorn, she walked away and married a man whose influence could shake the country. Dance phenom, street-race champ, virtuoso composer, master restorer-each secret triumph hit the headlines, and her family's smug smiles cracked. Father charged back from abroad, mother wept for a hug, and five brothers knelt in the rain begging. Beneath the jeweled night sky, her husband pulled her close, his voice a velvet promise. "They're not worth it. Come on, let's just go home."
Gabriela learned her boyfriend had been two-timing her and writing her off as a brainless bimbo, so she drowned her heartache in reckless adventure. One sultry blackout night she tumbled into bed with a stranger, then slunk away at dawn, convinced she'd succumbed to a notorious playboy. She prayed she'd never see him again. Yet the man beneath those sheets was actually Wesley, the decisive, ice-cool, unshakeable CEO who signed her paychecks. Assuming her heart was elsewhere, Wesley returned to the office cloaked in calm, but every polite smile masked a dark surge of possessive jealousy.
On the day of her grand engagement, she was betrayed by her fiancé and stepsister and died in a cruel setup. But fate gave her a second chance. Reborn as a sharp, fearless woman, the once naïve heiress is back for revenge. Those who hurt her will pay-one by one. Armed with financial brilliance and a ruthless heart, she rises to the top of the business world. But she catches the attention of a powerful CEO who is even more dangerous-cold, calculating, and determined to make her his wife. Two masterminds collide in a fiery romance filled with schemes, passion, and payback. In this game of love and power, only they are worthy opponents-and perfect partners.
Maia grew up a pampered heiress-until the real daughter returned and framed her, sending Maia to prison with help from her fiancé and family. Four years later, free and married to Chris, a notorious outcast, everyone assumed Maia was finished. They soon discovered she was secretly a famed jeweler, elite hacker, celebrity chef, and top game designer. As her former family begged for help, Chris smiled calmly. "Honey, let's go home." Only then did Maia realize her "useless" husband was a legendary tycoon who'd adored her from the start.
It was supposed to be a marriage of convenience, but Carrie made the mistake of falling in love with Kristopher. When the time came that she needed him the most, her husband was in the company of another woman. Enough was enough. Carrie chose to divorce Kristopher and move on with her life. Only when she left did Kristopher realize how important she was to him. In the face of his ex-wife’s countless admirers, Kristopher offered her 20 million dollars and proposed a new deal. “Let’s get married again.”
