Julian Maxwell

You were nothing but a placeholder until the real heiress returned." Those were the last words Vivian heard from her fiancé before he humiliated her on their wedding day. She thought losing her groom was the worst thing that could happen. She was wrong. To cover his massive gambling debts, her ex-fiancé did the unthinkable. He sold her debt to the city's most feared man. Julian Thorne. The Billionaire. The Monster. The King of the Underworld. Vivian expects death. Instead, Julian offers her a diamond ring and a contract. "Marry me," he commands. "Be the perfect wife in public. And in private, I will give you the power to crush everyone who hurt you." It was supposed to be a cold transaction. A fake marriage for revenge. But Julian Thorne is possessive, dark, and dangerously seductive. Vivian didn't plan on falling for the villain of her story. And she certainly didn't expect the secret he was hiding one that changes everything.

"Sign it and leave. Sarah needs me more than you do." Clara Vance had spent three years as a "perfect" ghost—the invisible, dutiful wife of the ruthless billionaire Julian Thorne. She had cooked his meals, ironed his shirts, and endured his coldness, all while hiding her true identity as the world’s most sought-after tech prodigy. She thought her love could melt his icy heart. She was wrong. On their third anniversary, Julian handed her divorce papers. His reason? His first love had returned, and he wanted to give her the life Clara was currently "occupying." Clara didn’t beg. She didn’t cry. She signed the papers with a steady hand and disappeared that same night, carrying a secret that would change his world forever—she was pregnant with his heir. Five Years Later. Julian Thorne is a man haunted by a shadow. He has everything he ever wanted, yet he feels nothing but a void where his "unwanted" wife used to be. At a global economic summit, he prepares to meet the mysterious, "Iron Lady" CEO of the V-Tech Empire—a woman who has been systematically crushing his businesses for months. When the doors open, Julian’s heart stops. Dressed in a power suit, radiating cold elegance and diamond-hard confidence, stands Clara. But she isn’t alone. A mini-version of Julian stands by her side, looking at him with the same icy glare he once gave her. "Mr. Thorne," Clara smiles, and it’s the coldest thing he’s ever seen. "I believe you’re here to discuss the terms of your surrender?" The chase is on. The billionaire is on his knees. But this time, the Queen isn't looking for a King—she’s looking for revenge.

Dans sa vie antérieure, Josie était une idiote, ayant gaspillé trois ans à pleurer un mari qui avait simulé sa mort pour s'enfuir avec une autre femme. Elle est morte sur un trottoir pluvieux, un couteau planté dans la poitrine, voyant Julian s'éloigner avec son premier amour et leur enfant caché. Aujourd'hui, elle est de retour. C'est le matin de ses funérailles, mais Josie ne cherche pas un mouchoir ; elle cherche une casserole d'eau bouillante et un avocat spécialisé dans la liquidation. Tandis que le reste de la famille Hart se prépare au deuil, Josie s'affaire à vendre les voitures de luxe de Julian et à vider ses comptes bancaires secrets. Pour être sûre que Julian ne puisse jamais revenir dans sa vie, elle s'en prend au seul homme qu'il ait jamais vraiment craint : son oncle, Alexander Hart. Ce milliardaire impitoyable convoite Josie depuis vingt ans, et il est plus que ravi de l'aider à enterrer Julian pour de bon, pourvu qu'elle soit prête à payer le prix qu'il exige.

At the dinner table, my wife's best friend suddenly speaks to her in Lytian. "Three years ago, you married Julian in a grand wedding just to help Jace get Julian's letter of forgiveness. Over the years, I've seen Julian fall more and more deeply in love with you. Yet, you're still lying to him. "You gave him sterilization pills but passed them off as his depression medication. Aren't you afraid that he'll fall apart if he finds out the truth?" My wife, Erica Inman, briefly shows a conflicted expression on her face. She then gives a bitter smile and says, "A child unwanted by their mother has no reason to be born. As long as Julian doesn't stand in the way of Jace's happiness, I will keep my promise and stay by his side for the rest of his life." No one knows that I've learned Lytian to keep up with Erica. I stand in the living room and look at the fresh kiss mark on my neck. As I glance at the medication I take regularly for my depression, my whole body turns cold. It turns out that all of Erica's affection toward me was fake. What I thought was my salvation turns out to be nothing but a carefully planned deception. Since that's the case, I'll do my part to make sure they all get what they want.

Five years ago, Elara Thorne died in a wreckage of twisted metal and flames. Or so the world believed. In reality, she was running from the powerful Vance family who wanted her erased, and running from Julian Vance, the man who had shattered her heart before she could even tell him she was carrying his twins. Now, Elara is a shadow in the city, a mother living on the edge of survival. But the "Ice King" of New York has a long memory and even longer reach. When Julian catches a glimpse of a familiar face at an elite gala, his world of cold calculation turns into a furnace of obsession. He doesn't find a grieving ex-lover. He finds a woman who has become a lioness, and two children who are the perfect, sapphire-eyed images of himself. Julian doesn’t ask for forgiveness. He demands a debt. He drags Elara from the gutters of Brooklyn into the heights of his glass palace, forcing her into a Marriage of Convenience. He wants his heirs. He wants his revenge. And most of all, he wants to possess the woman who dared to make a fool of him. But Julian has forgotten one thing: a woman who has already survived death has nothing left to fear. As Elara steps back into the world of the elite, she isn't there to play the dutiful wife. She is a Trojan horse in a red silk dress, ready to dismantle the Vance empire from within.
