Chapter 3 - The Five-Year Lie
To understand the absolute, bone-chilling shock completely paralyzing the billionaire, one had to understand the horrific deception that had destroyed his life.
Five years ago, Julian wasn't an isolated, cold corporate titan. He was deeply, passionately in love with Nora, a brilliant but penniless art student. They had secretly married in a tiny courthouse. But Julian’s ruthless billionaire father and Cassandra’s corrupt family absolutely refused to allow the heir to the empire to marry a nobody.
While Julian was away on a business trip, Cassandra’s father had orchestrated a massive, violent lie.
They sent Julian fabricated police reports and forged dental records, convincing him that Nora had tragically died in a horrific apartment fire. The crushing grief had entirely broken Julian's spirit, turning him into the cold, ruthless businessman who blindly accepted an arranged engagement to Cassandra just to merge their corporate empires.
But Cassandra had always known the truth. She knew Nora had survived the fire, and she knew Nora was pregnant.

A month ago, Cassandra’s private investigators finally tracked Nora down. Instead of leaving her alone, Cassandra’s toxic, sadistic ego took over. She actively forced Nora to work as a maid at the grand mansion, constantly holding the threat of calling child services to take Lily away forever if Nora ever revealed her identity to Julian.
👉 Cassandra smirked triumphantly at the crowd, completely blind to the fact that her sadistic game of torture was about to spectacularly backfire.
