Lilian Hartley was betrayed by her sister. She drugged her and lured her into a one-night stand with the CEO of Cadwell Industries, Grayson Cadwell. This led to a loveless marriage to the CEO, Grayson Caldwell. Another secretive plan stripped her of her family's fortune; she was divorced and sent packing, only to return as a competitive CEO of a rival conglomerate. Now, she's back in New York, ready to get back at Grayson with a vengeful plan and a secret that would tear Grayson's life apart. But fate had other plans. Even as Lilian is bent on tarnishing Grayson's image, her feelings for him return, and this poses a hindrance to getting her revenge. Now, she must confront the memories of five years ago. With secrets and betrayal waiting at every corner, will she be able to trust the man who once treated her like she meant nothing to him, because he is the only one she can trust? Or will the past sins pull them into a bubble of hatred, one which they might never burst out of?

Back for Revenge: Mom Is Furious with Dad Chapter 1 THE COMEBACK

New York's fresh air blew Lillian's scarf as she got off the aeroplane. She gazed at the sky, the sunlight causing her skin to gleam and reinforce her beauty. "Welcome to New York, my babies," she announced as she grinned at her twin kids, Charles and Charlie.

They were delighted to be in the country their mom had told them so much about. She gripped their suitcase aircraft carrier in one palm while the other hand took Charles, who held Charlie as they walked to the airport entrance, lifting each step with determination.

People who stared at them couldn't help but marvel at how beautiful and confident she looked, as well as how charming the kids were.

"Hey, Lillian Hartley, great to see you back in New York!" She looked up and recognized her friend James, who was waving at her.

"OMG, James, it's been a long time; how have you been?" She replied, hugging him.

"I couldn't help but come myself to receive you back. I mean, it's been five years," he added.

Then, as if discovering the kids, he exclaimed in excitement, "Are those Charles and Charlie?" He crouched down to their height and caressed their cheeks, all the while singing their praises about how lovely they had grown.

The children looked on with innocent confusion on their faces, as they couldn't recognize the man who seemed so excited to see them.

"Charles and Charlie, meet James, a good friend of mine," Lilian introduced, making the once-confused children smile.

"Hi Uncle James, it's lovely to see you; Mum has told us so much about you," Charles stated, smirking. James was still grinning, showing how overjoyed he was to see all of them. He couldn't help but regard how much Lillian had changed. The transformation was so evident in the aura she was giving. She looked bold and controlled, contrary to the broken Lillian he knew.

"I will show you to the car," James announced after a moment of awkward silence.

"Are you back already, or did you just come to do something?" James asked, while adjusting his seatbelt and making eye contact with Lilian, who had sat comfortably in the back seat, leaving the front seat for her kids.

"It's final. I am back in New York for good," she answered confidently.

"I am so glad to hear that. So, where do you plan on settling, your former apartment?" He asked inquisitively.

"Nah, I bought a house in Williamsburg. It's where we'll be settling," she stated.

James started the car and drove off after inputting the address Lillian had given him.

"Why are you back in the country, though? I never thought you were going to come back after everything that happened," he asked with a concerned look on his face.

"That was in the past, and besides, I came back for business."

"Business?"

"Well, you will find out about that later," she replied and chuckled, leaving James in a state of pleasant surprise.

They continued catching up on old times until they arrived at her house. He pushed into the compound and parked his car.

"I am glad you are back, Lillian," he repeated, smirking.

"Me too, James, me too," she retorted. They got out of the car and moved their luggage in.

The interior of the apartment was so striking that James's jaw fell in awe.

"Welcome home, ma'am," Irene, the nanny she had hired for her kids, said as she received them.

After settling in, Lillian invited James to have lunch with them. During lunch, Lily proposed a question that surprised James. "Would you like to go to the New York Exchange businessmen's party with me?" As if James's mouth were glued shut, he couldn't pronounce a word. He had read and heard about the gala; he knew it wasn't a place for low-class business people like him.

The gala was rumoured to be a place where top businesses in the City meet for all kinds of deals. How Lillian got an invitation is what he can't yet place.

"I mean, the invitation said to come with a plus one, and the only friend I have right now who can come with me is you. So, what do you say?" Lillian continued.

"Of course, I would love to go with you", he finally said after carefully thinking about how many connections he was going to make just by being at the party. "Thank you", Lillian muttered.

"No, thank you. You don't know how much my life is gonna change with this invite," he countered. Lily smiled as they continued eating.

James stayed for a while to play with the kids before he finally left.

After retiring to her room to rest for a while, Lillian received a call from her PA.

"Have you settled in already, ma'am?" she heard immediately after she picked up.

"Yes, I am. I won't be resuming my till next week, so clear everything till then," She said sternly and ended the call. She was finally back with a beautiful plan to get her revenge on those who hurt her in the past: Grayson Caldwell, her ex-husband, and Lily Hartley, her sister.

She was going to accept her boss's offer to be the CEO of the New York branch of Verox Industries, a company she had worked for while in Canada. This company is a rival of Caldwell Industries, and that was a perfect way to target both.

It was eventually her turn, and she wasn't going to stop until she ruined all they owned. Her eyes shone with a firm resolve, and her face tightened with intention.

**********

It was the day of the event, and Lillian wore a long, sleeveless emerald gown which accentuated her curves. Her brown hair fell onto her shoulders, and her heels were high enough to make her look so elegant. After hours of prep, she was finally good to go.

James called her to say he was in the living room. The kids were already fast asleep, so she headed to their room to plant a goodnight kiss on them before heading downstairs to meet James.

James couldn't take his eyes off her as she made her way down the stairs, totally mesmerized by her beauty. He was dressed in a green suit, making him look domineering.

"Oh wow, you look gorgeous," he exclaimed.

"You don't look bad yourself," she replied, smiling. He took her hands, escorted her to the car, and drove off as soon as they were comfortable.

On arriving at the event, he held the door to the car for her in a courteous way and bowed with his hands for her. She grabbed it, and they walked into the building. Her business partners welcomed Lilian.

"Welcome to New York, Miss Hartley, it's nice to finally meet you," many of them greeted her as she walked in. James excused himself from her immediately and went ahead to make connections with people he knew mattered.

Lily sighted a married couple who happen to be partners in the company where she works. She approached them, and they exchanged pleasantries immediately after they saw her.

They were chatting about business and the like when she heard her name. She turned.

There they were, her nemesis.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."
