The woman they tried to bury
Olivia married John against all odds—despite the whispers, the wealth gap, and a mother-in-law who made no secret of her hatred. For three years, Olivia gave her all to the marriage, but her inability to conceive became a weapon used to tear her down. When a woman from John’s past reappears with a son she claims is his, Olivia’s fragile world shatters.
Betrayed and accused of crimes she didn’t commit, Olivia is cast out with nothing but her pride and pain. But the woman who once crawled through life rises stronger than ever. A new city, a new life, and an unexpected connection with a mysterious prince help her reclaim her worth—but fate isn’t finished with her yet.
When Olivia’s job unexpectedly leads her back into John’s world, long-buried secrets begin to surface—secrets that could not only clear her name, but destroy everything the Luther family has built. Love, lies, and legacy collide as Olivia fights not just for justice, but for the truth about her past.
And just when it seems the wounds are healing, a devastating revelation threatens to undo everything. The man she once loved is the son of the very people who destroyed her family.
Will Olivia choose vengeance, or will love have the final say.

Chapter: Chapter FourThe past six months had been hell for me. I tried so hard to hide it from John, burying my despair so I wouldn’t look like the bad person. He was having the time of his life with his son—bonding over soccer, going on ice cream dates, introducing him to colleagues at work. The new CEO’s son. The future heir to the Luther Group of Companies.I had thought we were only here for his father’s funeral, but to John’s surprise, his father had left everything to him, despite John’s long-standing disinterest in running the company. And now, even though he had never wanted it, John was stuck carrying his father’s legacy. Lately, though, he had been coming home with heavy burdens. Someone was embezzling money from the company, crippling it, and he couldn’t figure out who.One thing John would never tolerate was betrayal.Between the stress of work and the newfound responsibility of being a father, there was barely any space left for me. And the most infuriating part? Tricia was always there. How

Chapter: Chapter ThreeI walked down the hall, my mind a blur of confusion and disbelief. My heart felt like it was being crushed under the weight of something I couldn’t yet understand. The word grandson echoed in my ears, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that everything was falling apart.I forced myself to push through the kitchen, trying to get myself a glass of water, maybe that would cool the raging flames in my heart. But the ache inside me was unbearable.I heard footsteps behind me. John.His presence seemed to fill the space, and I could feel his hesitation, his uncertainty. It was the first time today that he wasn’t certain of anything. His mother had won. Tricia had won. And somehow, I had lost.“Liv,” he said softly, as though testing my name, trying to gauge my reaction. “Can we talk?”I didn’t turn around. I couldn’t face him yet, not when I felt so raw, so exposed. “I don’t think we have anything to talk about, John.”“Please,” he implored, his voice almost breaking. “Look, I know this has b

Chapter: Chapter TwoI looked at John, somehow wanting him to tell me I had heard it all wrong. But I hadn’t—and he knew it. My eyes brimmed with tears as I stammered, struggling to find the right words.“What’s… what’s going on here, John?” My voice was barely above a whisper as I stepped closer, unsteady on my feet. “What’s she talking about, babe?”His mother paid me no mind, her focus entirely on the child in her arms—the supposed grandson. She was smiling, reveling in the moment as if it were the happiest day of her life. A dream come true. Perhaps even the perfect opportunity to finally get rid of me. And it was working. I felt like the ground had been ripped from beneath me, like a disaster had just unfolded before my eyes.She had never liked me. That much was clear. But now, this? This was something else. I had failed to give her son a child, and I knew that if I had, maybe—just maybe—her hatred would have lessened. But it wouldn’t have disappeared entirely. After all, I was still the trash her s

Chapter: Chapter oneJohn had made it clear that I shouldn’t bother trying to impress his mother. It’s useless, Liv, he’d said more than once. But still, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I needed to. In three years of marriage, I had only seen her once—not on our wedding day, she managed to come up with the most ridiculous excuse to miss the wedding, but the day John introduced me to his parents, was the first and only time I had seen her or better still, she had let me see her. And that was exactly the genesis of her hatred for me. Yet, a part of me wanted this time to be different. As I silently rehearsed what I might say, how I could finally leave a better impression, doubt gnawed at me.The car slowed to a stop in the driveway. John stepped out first, then quickly moved to my side, opening the door and extending his hand to help me out.The staff wasted no time unloading our luggage from the trunk as we walked through the stone-paved walkway toward the house. John’s grip on my hand tightened—a silent
