The Algorithm of Her Heart
Elena Cordova designed revolutionary algorithms for a multi-million-dollar company. The only formula she couldn't solve? Her own marriage.
After seven years of being the invisible wife to a cold billionaire, Elena is finally trading in her wedding ring for her worth. Marcus Ashford married her for obligation, hid her from the world, and replaced her with a woman who played the perfect stepmother. But when he finally pushes her too far, he discovers that the brilliant, betrayed woman he dismissed has been running calculations all along.
Now, Elena is back in the boardroom, her mind sharp, her fortune growing, and a handsome rival billionaire watching her every move. She wants revenge. She wants vindication. She wants her daughter back.
Marcus thought she was a social climber. He thought she was docile. He thought he could replace her. He was wrong.
He used her for her brilliance. Now, she'll use her brilliance to take everything back.
Divorce is just the beginning of her beautiful, calculated comeback.

Chapter: Chapter 59: The EvidenceLily waited until after dinner that evening. Marcus had come home early for once, and Vivian was upstairs with Cameron. It was the first time Lily had her father alone in days."Daddy, can I talk to you about something important?" Lily stood in the doorway of his study, holding her tablet.Marcus looked up from his laptop. "Of course, sweetheart. Come in."Lily closed the door behind her and sat in the chair across from his desk. Her hands were shaking slightly as she held the tablet."What's wrong?" Marcus noticed her nervousness. "Are you okay?""I'm okay. But I need to show you something." Lily took a deep breath. "Miss Vivian has been saying bad things about Mommy. And I recorded it."Marcus's expression shifted immediately. "What kind of bad things?""Just watch." Lily opened the video file and handed him the tablet.Marcus took it and pressed play. Lily watched his face as he listened to Vivian's voice coming from the speakers.At first, Marcus looked confused. Then concerned. T

Chapter: Chapter 58: The Final ManipulationVivian knew Marcus was going to leave her. The conversation in his office made that clear. Within days, maybe weeks, she would lose everything she had worked for.Desperation made people dangerous. Vivian had nothing left to lose, which meant she was willing to try anything.She thought about her options. She couldn't make Marcus love her. She couldn't undo whatever his father told him about Elena. She couldn't compete with a memory Marcus had idealized.But she could cause problems. She could make things difficult for Elena. She could create chaos that might somehow work in her favor.The weapon she chose was Lily.Three days after Marcus told her their relationship was over, Vivian found Lily alone in the living room doing homework. Marcus was upstairs on a conference call."Lily, can we talk for a minute?" Vivian sat down on the couch beside the child.Lily looked up from her math worksheet. "Okay.""I need to tell you something important. Something about your mother." Vivian kept

Chapter: Chapter 57: Vivian's DesperationVivian Sterling stood in Marcus's kitchen preparing an elaborate dinner. Coq au vin, his favorite dish, made from scratch following a complicated French recipe. She had spent three hours on this meal.Marcus was late coming home. Again.She checked her phone. No message explaining the delay. She texted him.[Dinner is ready. Where are you?]Twenty minutes passed before he responded.[Working late. Don't wait for me. I'll eat at the office.]Vivian stared at the carefully prepared meal, the perfectly set table, the candles she had lit. All of it wasted because Marcus couldn't be bothered to come home.This was happening more and more frequently. Marcus found excuses to stay away. Late meetings. Client dinners. Time with Lily. Anything to avoid being home with Vivian.She blew out the candles and put the food away, anger and panic mixing in her chest.Six months ago, Marcus still paid attention to her. He still wanted her company, still showed affection. But since his father's cancer di

Chapter: Chapter 56: Victor's GuiltTwo weeks after her conversation with Marcus, Elena received a phone call from Victor's personal nurse. Victor Ashford wanted to see her. He was declining rapidly and didn't have much time left.Elena sat with the phone in her hand for several minutes after the call ended. She had been avoiding this confrontation, unsure if she wanted to face the man who orchestrated her entire marriage.But she realized she needed to say certain things to Victor before he died. Not for his peace, but for her own closure.She drove to the Ashford estate the next afternoon. The house looked the same from outside, grand and imposing, but inside felt different. Quieter. Darker. Like it was preparing for death.The nurse led Elena upstairs to Victor's bedroom. He was sitting up in bed, propped against pillows, looking frail and gray. The powerful businessman who had controlled so much was reduced to this fragile old man."Elena." Victor's voice was weak but steady. "Thank you for coming.""Your nurse said

Chapter: Chapter 55: Marcus's RequestMarcus called Elena three days after their conversation. She was working from home, analyzing a potential acquisition for Kane-Cordova, when her phone rang."Can we talk again?" Marcus asked. "In person. Please."Elena hesitated. She had spent three days processing their last conversation, trying to understand what the truth about Victor's manipulation meant for her future."What do we need to talk about?" she asked."Us. What happens now. I need to ask you something." Marcus's voice was strained. "Please, Elena. Just one more conversation."She agreed to meet him for coffee the next morning at a neutral location, a quiet cafe near her apartment.Marcus was already there when she arrived, sitting at a corner table with two cups of coffee. He stood when he saw her, looking like he hadn't slept well in days."Thank you for coming," he said as she sat down."You said you needed to ask me something." Elena wrapped her hands around the coffee cup. "What is it?"Marcus looked at her for a l

Chapter: Chapter 52: The Parallel DiscoveryElena walked to her home office and returned with a thick folder. She set it on the coffee table between them. Marcus recognized his father's letterhead on some of the documents visible through the clear folder."I found all of this while reviewing Ashford's financial records," Elena said, sitting back down. "At first it was just unusual payments that didn't make sense. Then I traced them further and discovered everything."Marcus opened the folder with shaking hands. He saw his father's emails, the surveillance photos of Elena at MIT, the medical consultations about fertility drugs, the psychological profiles."You've known for a week?" His voice was hollow."Yes. I've been trying to process it. Trying to understand what it means." Elena's hands were folded in her lap, her posture controlled. "I was going to confront your father eventually, but I wanted to be absolutely certain first. I needed all the evidence.""He confessed tonight. He's dying and wanted to clear his conscience bef
