Aurora Grey thought she could win her husband, Lucas Rossi's heart, even if it took years. For three long years, she endured his coldness, hoping that one day he would see her as more than just a convenient substitute. But when she reads the headlines announcing Lucas’s return to the city with his ex-girlfriend, Julia Mayhem, the truth hits her like a dagger—she never had a place in his heart. Lucas's affection had always belonged to Julia, and now that she’s back, Aurora knows her time is up. No longer willing to be the woman in the shadows, Aurora takes control of her fate. With a sharp resolve, she demands a divorce, choosing to reclaim her dignity rather than watch the man she loves cherish someone else. But Lucas Rossi isn’t a man who easily lets go of what he considers his. The moment Aurora steps out of his life, he realizes just how deeply she had entwined herself in his heart. Driven by a need to reclaim what he’s lost, Lucas tracks her down, determined to make her see that she belongs with him—and no one else.
Hades stood in front of the TV, watching the news broadcast with fury building inside him.
The headline read, "Lucas Rossi Exonerated: 'Truth Always Prevails.'"
Lucas was smiling, proud, standing tall before the reporters.
Hades felt his blood boil as the image of Lucas basking in his victory filled the screen.
Without a second thought, Hades grabbed the glass of water beside him and hurled it at the TV.
The glass shattered, sending shards everywhere, while water dripped down the broken screen.
The men kneeling behind him flinched but remained silent.
"This is all your fault!" Hades bellowed, pacing the room as his anger surged. "You should have executed him during the trial! You failed me!" His voice roared through the room, his rage evident.
He grabbed the table and flipped it with ease, the wood splintering as it hit the floor.
The men stayed kneeling, their heads down, but one dared to speak.
