Maxwell Laurent Del Valle

“You can run from my house, wife, but not from my name.” For six years, Aveline Laurent lived as the perfect wife of billionaire tycoon Theron Blackwell, smiling beneath chandeliers while hiding bruises beneath silk. To the public, theirs was a marriage envied by everyone. To Aveline, it was a beautifully decorated prison ruled by a man who treated love as ownership and obedience as the only acceptable language. She endured the cruelty, the surveillance, and the silent terror because escape had always seemed impossible. Until the night she discovered she was pregnant. With a child growing inside her and a bag full of incriminating secrets stolen from Theron’s private study, Aveline vanishes into the storm before dawn, leaving behind the empire that bears his name and the wedding ring that once chained her to it. But running from a billionaire is not the same as running from an ordinary husband. Theron Blackwell does not believe in losing what belongs to him. As private investigators flood the city, security cameras track her every move, and powerful men begin asking dangerous questions about the files she stole, Aveline realizes she is no longer just a fugitive wife. She is the one woman capable of destroying a billionaire. And Theron will burn the world before he lets her disappear.

It is payback time! Cynthia Laurent’s comeback is fueled by heartbreak… and a love that won’t let go. The day she was told she had six months to live, her husband’s betrayal cut deeper than any diagnosis. While grappling with a brain tumor, Cynthia overheard her stepsister’s cruel confession: “I’m pregnant.” One look at her husband’s face told her the truth — the affair was real, and the baby was his. Eight years of marriage, discarded like trash. Her pleas were met with her mother-in-law’s venom who saw her only as a nanny, a cook, a housekeeper, a cleaner – never a daughter-in-law and her eight-year-old son’s chilling wish for a “new mom.” Broken and abandoned, Cynthia vanished to Paris, ready to die. But fate had other plans. In Paris, three men of immense power burst into her life, claiming to be her brothers and vowed to protect her at all costs. Titans of industry, speed, and medicine, they rebuilt Cynthia from the ground up. Now, as the Michelin-starred queen of Maison Cynclair, Cynthia returns to the city that destroyed her. Her ex-husband falls to his knees. “We’re still married,” he pleads. Her son cries, “Mom, don’t you love me anymore?” The woman they once broke is gone. “Thank you for your betrayal,” she replied, calm and clear. “It made me a hundred-million-dollar woman.” A man’s love fades. An empire? Never.

I set fire to my painting in front of the entire academy. Thunderous applause erupts from the crowd as everyone thinks it's some kind of performance art. Unlike them, Willow Laurent is distraught. She rushes up and grabs my hand, questioning in a shrill voice, "Cassidy Seymour, have you gone mad? This is your only chance to prove yourself!" I shake her hand off me coldly. My only chance? No… What she means is that it's her chance. In my past life, I created this masterpiece with all my heart and soul. But she stole it from me and submitted it as her entry first. Whether it was the composition, the colors, or even my original dot-stippling technique… She replicated every detail flawlessly. Then, she won the National Young Artists Gold Award, signed with a top gallery, and became a rising star. And what about me? I was condemned as a shameless plagiarist. Insults and curses gradually drowned me. "You shouldn't be an artist!" "Plagiarists are scum! They should just die!" Her fans stormed into my studio, smashed my art supplies, and broke my right hand. As I saw no end to the hell that I was living in, I jumped down from the top floor of my studio. When I open my eyes again, I'm back to the very day she first accuses me of plagiarism.
