Her Vengeance, His Hidden Obsession
For two years, Alexandra “Lexi” Richmond Blackwood played the perfect wife.
To the outside world, she was married to Ethan Blackwood, the billionaire every woman dreamed of and every man envied. Their love was the envy of New York’s elite. Their smiles, flawless. Their empire, unshakable.
But behind the marble walls of their penthouse, Lexi found out the hard truth. His fake marriage and his betrayal withSophia Mendez, the childhood friend and mistress Ethan couldn't let go of.
She knew about the lies, the betrayal, and the mockery he made of their vows.
And she knew how to destroy him.
For two years, Lexi had waited. She’s played the part, worn the diamonds, smiled for the cameras, hoping he would love her someday. But knowing the truth hurts too much and so she plotted.
A carefully constructed plan takes an unexpected turn the night she meets Maxwell Reed, Ethan’s most dangerous rival.
Maxwell is powerful, cunning, and devastatingly charming, a man who sees through her games yet can’t resist playing them. What begins as a strategic affair turns into something far more dangerous… passion.
As Lexi seduces her way through a world built on power and lies, she finds herself caught between two men:
One who ruined her life.
And one who could ruin her heart.
When Ethan’s empire begins to crumble and long-buried secrets rise to the surface, Lexi realizes the most dangerous betrayal may not come from her enemies, but from herself.
In a world where loyalty is bought, love is a weapon, and revenge has a price,
Lexi will either reign as queen… or lose everything.

Chapter: Chapter 5Maxwell Reed shut his eyes tightly as he held his head. The party had been stressful and he wished to take a quiet nap. He wished he could get home early amidst the heavy downpour." President, the old Madam called again reminding you to come to the ancestral home..."Max felt his head on the verge of splitting in two. He knew exactly what his grandmother was planning. Still, he wasn't in the mood for her tantrums again.He ignored the driver's words to pick his assistant's call. After a second, the air around the car seemed to freeze and at the same time the car suddenly came to a stop.Maxwell Reed's eyes narrowed as the tyres screeched loudly.He was about to spit fire and brimstone when his eyes caught the delicate figure in front of the car. He held his breath, unsure of his eyesight.He muttered to himself a name he had grown to dream of every night. " Sir, she..."His voice held no negotiation except an underlying torrent of emotions," Open the door."The smart old driver, dre

Chapter: Chapter 4The rest of the party went soured and Ethan could hardly contain himself. He whispered something to the MC before storming off with Lexi. Not even Sophia's fake voice could calm him down.Lexi just had a smile on her face, one that could crush the pride of any man.The penthouse was silent when they walked in. Ethan threw his jacket onto the couch as he paced the living room, a storm waiting to break. The smell of whiskey and stale perfume clung to him. The very scent that lingered around Sophia too.Lexi instantly felt disgusted, but she pulled herself back. It wasn't yet time.She stood by the doorway, clutching her bag and waiting for the explosion.It didn't take long.“What the hell was that?” he snapped, spinning toward her.She blinked slowly, keeping her face blank. “What was what?”“Don’t play dumb, Lexi.” His voice rose, echoing off the high ceilings. “You danced with him. Maxwell Reed. My rival. In front of every investor I have!”Lexi stayed quiet. He stepped closer, jab

Chapter: Chapter 3Lexi hadn't mistaken earlier. The piercing gaze and feeling she had earlier on was actually the devil himself. That presence as he stared at the man holding her wrist tightly was more like someone who was about to murder the world.It wasn't right. Mr Blake immediately let go of Lexi's wrist while Max just smiled faintly, one hand in his pocket and a glass of whiskey in the other. His gaze was fixed on her. Something in the way he watched her made her pulse quicken. It sends tingles racing up her spine.Mr Blake had already frozen as soon as Max had spoken. Even drunk, he felt the sudden shift in the air. He squinted, unable to decipher why Mr. Max would be defending his enemy's wife in public.“M–Mr. Reed,” he stammered, trying to smile. “Just having a little chat with Mrs. Blackwood.”Max’s eyes narrow. “A chat?”The man’s face paled. “Yes, I didn’t mean—”“I’m sure you didn’t,” Maxwell cut in, stepping forward. “But next time you feel the urge to ‘chat,’ make sure it’s with someo

Chapter: Chapter 2THE NEXT DAY It was the day of their two years anniversary and Ethan was pouring out his speech without guilt. Lexi caught his eyes lingering longer at someone and she didn't need to guess who it was either. It's been two years and Ethan still had his eyes only for her, the perfect woman who understood his business.Lexi looked around the perfectly decorated venue and smiled faintly. Her slender hands clutching the wine glass became tighter with each glance at the woman standing smugly in front of her.Sophia Mendez.Lexi scoffed at Sophia's outfit which was worth at least a few millions. The smug look on Sophia's face and the flicker of smile around her lips was exactly what made people fall in love with her. Lexi bit her lips, forcing out a smile as memories of last night rushed in. Those texts and the smile on Ethan's face too. She breathes out the words inaudibly,“ If I’ve learned anything in two years of our marriage, it’s how to smile while literally dying inside.”But what

Chapter: Chapter 1" Miss Lexi, all the paperwork for the transfer has been processed. It just needs both your signatures." Elena said, her tone unsatisfactory." Just wait for my call, El." The clock chimed 11 pm and Lexi smiled.Tomorrow was her two-year anniversary with Ethan Blackwood. She couldn't wait to finally surprise Ethan with what she had planned at exactly 12 am. Even if the initial agreement had been five years, Elena had been able to speed up the process to two years after much persuasion.Before Ethan left for the bathroom, his cold face had lingered for a while and Lexi just smiled faintly, getting used to his cold expression." Try and get some rest, Lexi. You looked stressed," Ethan told her, his voice warming through her heart.She nodded, resting on the spacious bed.Even after two years, Ethan was still cold and detached but he had never given her cause to regret her decision. He had been faithful towards her all through their years of being married. Ethan's family had faced bank
