The CEO's Secret Divorce
For three years, Evelyn Vale has lived in a marriage that feels like a prison.
Her husband, Adrian Vale, is a powerful CEO who gives her everything money can buy—except love.
Tired of being ignored and treated like a stranger, Evelyn finally makes the decision she has been afraid to make for years.
She wants a divorce.
She expects Adrian to sign the papers without a second thought.
Instead, he refuses.
Adrian has a secret—a secret connected to the reason he married Evelyn in the first place. And if that secret comes to light, it could destroy not only his empire but Evelyn's life as well.
Just when Evelyn thinks she knows the truth about her husband, another woman appears with a shocking claim:
"Adrian promised me he'd divorce Evelyn three years ago."
Suddenly, everything Evelyn believed about her marriage begins to fall apart.
Was Adrian truly a heartless husband?
Or has he been protecting her from a truth she was never supposed to discover?
As Evelyn digs deeper into the secrets surrounding their marriage, she realizes that getting a divorce may be the easiest part.
The hardest part will be deciding whether she can ever trust the man she still secretly loves.

The Person Beside YouEvelyn slowly lowered her phone.The caller's final words repeated in her mind.The person standing beside you.She looked at Adrian.He was standing only a few steps away.For the first time, she wondered if she had made a terrible mistake trusting him.Adrian noticed the change in her expression.“What did he say?”Evelyn hesitated.“Nothing.”“Evelyn.”Before she could answer, a loud sound came from downstairs.Someone had entered the house.Adrian immediately moved toward her.“Stay here.”“No.”“Evelyn, please.”“I heard what he said.”Adrian froze.“What?”“The caller said the person who killed my father is standing beside me.”His face went blank.“And you think that's me?”“I don't know what to think anymore.”Adrian took a step toward her.“You know me.”“Do I?”The question hurt him.He looked away.“You have every reason to doubt me.”Evelyn swallowed.“But I need the truth.”“You'll have it.”Another sound came from downstairs.Adrian reached for her hand.“Whatever happen

Chapter: The Last NightEvelyn stared at Adrian.“The last person?”Adrian didn't look away.“Yes.”Her fingers tightened around the piece of paper.“You were here the night my father died?”“Yes.”“And you never told me?”“I couldn't.”“You couldn't?”Her voice cracked.“You watched me mourn him for two years while knowing you were the last person who saw him alive.”Adrian stepped toward her.“Evelyn, listen to me.”“No.”She stepped back.“I've listened to you for three years.”“Then listen to me now.”His voice was unusually desperate.“I didn't kill your father.”“I didn't accuse you.”“But you're thinking it.”Evelyn fell silent.Adrian looked away.“I came here because your father called me.”“Why?”“He said he had proof.”“Proof of what?”“The people who were using both our families.”Evelyn frowned.“What happened?”“I arrived around eleven.”“And my father?”“He was already waiting.”Adrian paused.“He told me he was afraid.”“Of whom?”“He didn't say.”Evelyn crossed her arms.“You expect me to be

Chapter: The Hidden RoomThe drive to Evelyn's father's old house was silent.She sat beside Adrian, staring through the window as familiar roads passed by.She hadn't been back to the house since her father's funeral.Too many memories lived there.Her father's study.His old books.The smell of coffee he always made in the mornings.And the last goodbye she never knew would be their last.“Are you okay?” Adrian asked.Evelyn almost laughed.“No.”He glanced at her.“I don't know if I can do this.”“You don't have to.”“Yes, I do.”She looked at him.“For years, everyone has decided what I should know and what I shouldn't know. I'm done being kept in the dark.”Adrian nodded.“I understand.”She studied him.“Do you?”“Yes.”There was something different about his voice.Less guarded.Evelyn looked away.“Then don't lie to me tonight.”“I won't.”---The old house stood at the end of a quiet road.The gates were covered in rust, and weeds had grown across the driveway.Adrian parked the car.Evelyn stepped o

Chapter: The Woman Behind the SecretEvelyn stared at Adrian.“Your mother?”Victor nodded slowly.“She was the last person your father spoke to before he disappeared.”Adrian's expression hardened.“That's impossible.”“I was there.”Victor's voice was quiet.“Your father called me that night. He told me he had discovered who was behind the money transfers.”“Who?” Evelyn asked.Victor looked at Adrian.“Your mother.”The room fell silent.Adrian shook his head.“You're lying.”“I wish I were.”Victor reached into his pocket and pulled out an old phone.“Your father recorded the conversation.”Evelyn's eyes widened.“Where is the recording?”Victor held up the phone.“Right here.”Adrian immediately reached for it.Victor pulled it away.“Not until you hear what he said.”Adrian's jaw tightened.“Play it.”Victor pressed a button.Static filled the room.Then a man's voice came through.Evelyn recognized it immediately.Her father's voice.“If anything happens to me, don't trust anyone in the Vale family.”Evelyn's hear

Chapter: The Man Who Saved HerEvelyn could barely breathe.Adrian's arms were wrapped tightly around her as another sharp crack echoed through the darkness.She flinched.“Was that a gunshot?”“Stay down.”His voice was low and firm.He pulled her behind the SUV and crouched beside her.Evelyn's heart hammered against her chest.“What is happening?”Adrian glanced toward the warehouse.“They're looking for you.”“Who?”“I don't know yet.”“You're lying.”His eyes snapped toward hers.“This isn't the time.”“You always say that.”She pushed herself away from him.“You knew about the warehouse.”Adrian's expression tightened.“How?”“Victor told me.”“Victor?”“The man who was inside.”Adrian went completely still.“Where is he?”“I don't know.”“Evelyn, where is Victor?”“He told me my father was murdered because he discovered something about your family.”Adrian's face changed.“What exactly did he tell you?”“That my father's company was being used to move money.”Adrian looked away.Evelyn noticed.“You knew.”“

Chapter: The WarehouseEvelyn stared at the message until the words blurred.Come to the old warehouse alone.And don't tell your husband.Her heart pounded.The old warehouse.She knew exactly where it was.Her father had owned several properties before his death, but there was one abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city that he had always refused to sell.She had never understood why.Now, suddenly, it seemed important.“Who is it?” Adrian asked.Evelyn quickly locked her phone.“No one.”Adrian's eyes narrowed.“Evelyn.”She forced herself to remain calm.“The police called. That's all.”He stared at her.“You're lying.”“I just said I don't want to talk about it.”Adrian stepped closer.“You're holding your phone like you're afraid I'll see it.”“Maybe because you keep taking things from me.”His expression changed.“What?”“My privacy. My choices. Three years of my life.”“I'm trying to protect you.”“And I'm tired of being protected.”She walked past him.“Where are you going?”“To bed.”“Eve
