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 was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.
