Betrayal

Revenge

Twisted

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 one
John 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

Chapter Two
I 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 Three
I 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 Four
The 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 Five- Rebirth
Five years ago, I never would have imagined standing here—tall, bold, and successful.Back then, I thought that moment would ruin me forever. And in a way, it did. It tore me apart, stripped everything I thought I was, left me raw and trembling in the dark. But in time, the darkness became fertile ground. What John and his family did, the betrayal so sharp it still aches some nights, ended up shaping me. Molding me into this woman. This version of me. Stronger. Smarter. Unapologetically resilient.In some messed-up, twisted way… I’m grateful to them.I stood in the conference room at Adebayo Pharmaceuticals—the very heart of the empire I now helped build. The air was thick with tension and polished ambition. The long mahogany table gleamed under the fluorescent lights, surrounded by sharp suits and sharper stares. Colleagues I’d worked alongside—or outpaced. Each chair filled with someone who, like me, hoped to hear their name today.One of us would be named Associate Partner.I wasn’

Chapter Six - Dinner Sounds…Nice
“Good morning, Miss Davis,” Freya greeted, clutching a file to her chest as I stepped out of the elevator onto the second floor, heading toward my office.That was a first.This woman had never — and I mean never — looked at me twice. Yet here she was, not just acknowledging me, but actually offering a polite greeting.I scoffed lightly, gave her an exaggerated glance, and smiled.“Morning,” I replied, walking past her. I even looked back, half-expecting it to have been a dream.But Freya wasn’t the only surprise of the morning. Mrs. Smith offered me coffee the moment I stepped into the building. Mr. Jones nearly tripped over himself trying to carry my bag — which I politely refused. And Mrs. Linda, who had never uttered a word to me since I started working here, smiled as I walked toward the elevator.I sipped my coffee (which, by the way, was delicious) just as Kim, my secretary, took my bag and coat.“You look like you’ve just seen a ghost,” she said, giving me a curious glance.“I

Chapter Seven - The Big Reveal
When we walked into the restaurant, it was empty. Not a single guest in sight. For such a famous place, that was odd. Aside from the staff, it was just us. I looked at Robert curiously, my face betraying my confusion. “Where’s everyone?” He scoffed, clearly unbothered. Like he knew something I didn’t. With a flick of his hand, he gestured toward a table in the center of the room. He walked ahead, and I hesitated, watching him with a suspicious gaze. But eventually, I followed. He pulled out a chair, and I sat—slowly, cautiously, my eyes still scanning the room. The staff didn’t seem to notice anything strange. Their eyes were glued to Robert, like he was some golden orb that had descended from the sky. He is the kind of man you can’t help but look at… twice. “You still haven’t answered my question,” I said, clutching my bag tighter. “Relax,” he said, wearing that smug smile of his. “Don’t tell me to relax,” I shot back, my voice sharper than I intended. “I know you know som

Chapter 8- They Saw Me Now
As our car approached the Luther Pharmaceutical building, my heart began to race—much to my own surprise. I thought I had it all covered. Thought I had tucked every raw edge of the past neatly away. But maybe… maybe I’d been lying to myself all along.Nothing had really changed, except that the building’s exterior looked freshly painted. A new coat of polish over old scars. How fitting.We pulled into the parking lot. Robert was seated beside me in the SUV, along with four other members of our administrative team. He wasn’t playing around—it had barely been twenty-four hours since we landed, and already we were here, at Luther’s company. Officially, we were here to meet our new partners. At least, that’s what everyone else in the vehicle believed.But for me, this was far more than a business meeting.This was a reckoning. A return. A declaration that I had survived. That I had endured. And now I was back—stronger, sharper, and standing taller than they could’ve ever imagined.As we s

Chapter Nine- Working Closely with Monsters
Olivia’s POVThey were all too stunned to utter a single word.Tricia stared at me like I was a character from a movie she hated—or maybe one she couldn’t stop watching despite herself. Her eyes followed every movement I made, wide and unblinking, her expression frozen somewhere between disbelief and disdain. It was almost comical how obvious she was.Mrs. Luther, on the other hand, tried to maintain her usual composure, but I caught her stealing glances at me. Pretending not to care, but failing miserably. How pathetic.I remembered the day they laughed at me. The day they ridiculed me. Called me a liar, a gold-digger, a nobody pretending to be someone. The memory was still sharp, still raw. But now? Now I had walked into this room beside a giant. Not just anyone—but Robert Adebayo, CEO of Adebayo Pharmaceuticals. A name that rang loud in global boardrooms. A company with over twenty branches worldwide, operating in more than three continents. We weren’t just big—we were dominating.

Chapter Ten- THE DEAL
John’s POV“What the fuck is that bitch doing here? She really has the guts to show her face again after what she did?”Tricia’s voice pierced through the conference room like a blade. She was pacing now, heels stabbing into the floor, eyes wide with disbelief, fury pulsing through her. She didn’t even care that a few of the senior executives—people completely unaware of the history—were still seated, watching the spectacle unfold.I stepped back into the room and felt every eye dart to me.“Excuse us, please,” I said, offering a polite smile that masked the absolute chaos unraveling inside me.The executives stood, awkwardly, quietly. No one questioned me. They just filed out, leaving behind the storm they knew wasn’t theirs to weather.The moment the door clicked shut, I stumbled toward a chair and slumped into it. I couldn’t find the strength to sit upright. My mind was racing. Heart pounding. I felt like the room was spinning.Tricia was still talking. Loud. Angry. But I couldn’t
