To save her adoptive brother, Elodie Thorne married Jarrod Silverstein—a three-year hidden marriage with passion but no love. On the day she was diagnosed with a terminal illness, her husband Jarrod celebrated by setting off fireworks with his mistress. Meanwhile, her newly released adoptive brother embraced another woman, declaring her the love of his life!
Watching these cold, heartless men flaunt their new relationships, Elodie decided she was done waiting.
She divorced, quit her job, and cut ties with her family… Reclaiming her dreams, she transformed from a scorned housewife into the unrivaled queen of the tech world!
But one day, her secret identity and terminal diagnosis were exposed.
Her reckless adoptive brother begged with reddened eyes: "Elodie, call me 'brother' one more time, please?"
Her cold-hearted ex-husband lost his mind: "Honey, I’ll give you my life—just don’t leave me…"
But to Elodie? Late remorse is worthless. She’d long since stopped caring.
