The Widow’s Game
A secret society of widows. A cold billionaire with a deadly past. One woman sent to seduce him... and destroy him.
When Genevieve Holloway buries her husband, she thinks the worst is behind her. But the black-veiled woman at the funeral of her husband says otherwise.
“You’ve been chosen.”
Drawn into a shadowy society of grieving wives turned silent assassins, Genevieve is given one final task before she can walk free: infiltrate the life of Dominic Rourke—the enigmatic tech billionaire tied to her husband’s mysterious death—and expose the truth.
Her mission is clear: seduce him. Infiltrate him. Ruin him.
But Dominic Rourke is nothing like she expected. Cold. Calculating. Unreachable. And he’s never let any woman get close—until her. Worse still, his five-year-old daughter clings to Genevieve like a lost soul, whispering secrets she shouldn’t know. Secrets about her dead mother… and the club Genevieve now serves.
The deeper Genevieve sinks into Dominic’s world, the more dangerous her own becomes. The women she trusted have blood on their hands. The man she was sent to destroy might be innocent. And the lies that bind them all go deeper than any grave.
Genevieve begins to develop feelings for the man she’s sent to ruin, and he sees himself letting go of his cold nature to make her happy and find her husband’s killer.
In a game of power, seduction, and betrayal, only one can survive.
And Genevieve must decide: Is she the hunter or the hunted? Will she be Dominic’s ruin, or will she become his everything?

Chapter: Chapter 16- A Test?Genevieve woke up earlier than usual the next morning. She didn't know why, maybe it was because she was a little nervous about the meeting with Dominic she had that day, or maybe it was because of the pressure to solve the issue with the shopping complexes and the factory.For a moment, she laid still in bed, staring at the ceiling as the morning light filtered through the curtains into her room. Her body felt rested, but her mind was wide awake. The thought of meeting Dominic Rourke didn’t unsettle her, but sharpened something inside her. She rose from the bed and moved through her morning routine with unusual care. She took her time in the shower, letting the warm water roll down her shoulders. When she stepped out, she stood in front of the mirror longer than usual, studying her reflection. She didn’t see the poor widow the press whispered about from months ago. She saw a woman reclaiming control of everything.Her choice of outfit was intentional. She chose a knee-length red gow

Chapter: Chapter 15- ResponsibilitiesGenevieve returned home later that evening by 7 pm. She was really tired. Who knew becoming a CEO of a company would be this stressful?The Holloway Mansion stood quietly behind its iron gates as usual; the house shined in a way that felt a little bit different. She didn’t notice it at first—not until the gates opened faster than usual, smoother, and almost soundless. The car moved into the driveway. Her driver opened the door for her while her security protocol surveyed the surroundings for anything unusual.When Genevieve stepped inside the house, the air felt the same—cool, filled with the faint scent of perfume, polished wood, and lavender—but something was different. It was only when her housekeeper, Mrs. Evans, appeared in the hallway with her usual polite smile that Genevieve finally paused.“Welcome home, ma’am,” Mrs. Evans said. “The installation was completed earlier today.”Genevieve frowned slightly. “Installation? What installation?”“Yes. The security protocol team from

Chapter: Chapter 14- Senator FrancisThe boardroom door closed loudly behind Genevieve.She did not look back. Her heels clicked against the marble floor as she walked down the corridor, her back straight and her expression unreadable. The board members had not acted below her expectations, and she also knew that she had agitated Viola further, but she didn’t care. She was going to prove to them that she was there to stay.Inside the boardroom, the silence stretched after Genevieve left. The faces of the board members were uneasy; tension from all that had happened during the meeting was still present. Viola was the first to speak. Her well-manicured fingers pressed flat against the table as she leaned forward, eyes sharp and filled with anger. “Well,” she said coldly, “that was… disappointing.”One of the older board members scoffed. “Disappointing? Viola, that was a complete failure.”Another leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. “You said you had everything under control. You said she’d fold. That she wouldn’t las

Chapter: Chapter 13- The Board MeetingSunday arrived faster than expected. Genevieve spent the morning seated in Charles's private study. Sunlight poured into the room through the windows, falling across polished shelves lined with books on finance, art, and history. She sat behind the desk, stacks of documents spread before her, her tablet glowing with spreadsheets and financial records from the Holloway Group. The Holloway Group official board meeting was the next day, and she wanted to be familiar with the company's financial record.The Holloway Group was a company that dealt with shopping complexes and kitchen wares. They owned chains of shopping complexes across the country. They had four big shopping complex and they were building the fifth one before Charles died. They also owned a manufacturing company that made the kitchen wares.She had expected a drop in the company's financial performance after Charles’s death but not this. Profits had declined more than expected over the past three months. Two major investor

Chapter: Chapter 12- The Meeting_Saturday_Olandria called early the next morning.Genevieve was still in bed; sunlight was just beginning to slip through the curtains of her room when her phone vibrated on the nightstand. She checked the caller, and it was from an unsaved number. Genevieve thought about not answering the call, but she decided to answer it.“Miss Genevieve, good morning!” Olandria’s voice burst through the phone, bright and urgent. “I was just calling to remind you about our date today.”Genevieve's face brightened when she heard the voice. “Good morning, Olly, I haven't forgotten about our date,” she replied, sleep still evident in her voice. She sat up, pushing her hair back. “I already reminded Dad about the outing this morning so he wouldn’t forget.” Olandria announced.Genevieve laughed lightly. “You’re very thorough.”“Daddy said I got that from Mommy,” Olandria replied without hesitation.“Well,” Genevieve said carefully, “then I suppose I should start getting ready.”“We’re going to the pa

Chapter: Chapter 11- The AftermathGenevieve left the Holloway Estate. For a moment, she kept driving, hands steady on the wheel, eyes fixed on the road ahead. Only when the estate had disappeared from her view did she finally realize the weight of what had just happened.She didn’t just inherit the Holloway Group. She inherited enemies.The realization came with a clarity that made her fingers tighten around the wheel of the car. The Holloway Estate. The company. The power. None of it existed in isolation. Every decision Charles had made in that will carried consequences—people who felt entitled to what she now owned, people who would never forgive her for being chosen by him. She wondered why Charles chose her and not his mother or any of his cousins. She didn't have a child for him, she was not a Holloway by blood, and she was never deeply involved in the affairs of the company. She only helped Charles review some documents and gave him some business advice when he was still alive. The fact that he chose her was sti
