After Her Devoted Husband Faked His Death, the Cold Female CEO Went Ma — Novel

About

After three years of silence, Andrew Mason returns to reclaim what was once his: the Henson Group, and the heart of the woman who shattered him. Jade Henson, the cold and calculating CEO, is a shadow of her former self—haunted, desperate, and clinging to the remnants of a love she thought she lost. But Andrew isn’t the man she remembers. He’s now a formidable tycoon with a new wife, and with every step he takes toward the corporate throne, the tension between them crackles like a live wire.

What happens when the past crashes into the present, igniting the embers of long-buried desires? As Andrew’s plans unfold, Jade is left to grapple with the choices that led her to this moment—a moment filled with regret, anger, and an undeniable longing. Can she face the man who once loved her unconditionally, or will her pride push him further away?

In a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal hides behind every corner, both must navigate a treacherous path lined with ambition, jealousy, and the haunting question: Can love truly survive the deepest of wounds?

After Her Devoted Husband Faked His Death, the Cold Female CEO Went MaChapter 1

Everyone in our social circle knew the truth: I was crazy about Jade Henson. The loyal dog kneeling at the hem of her skirt, desperate for a scrap of affection.

But reality was far colder. While I drank myself into a stomach hemorrhage to secure contracts for the Henson Group, she was out celebrating a new intern's birthday.

That night, something inside me finally snapped. I paid a doctor to forge a terminal stomach cancer diagnosis, faked my death, and vanished abroad.

Jade went insane. She hired countless mystics and mediums, trying to summon my soul, begging to see me just one more time.

She didn't get her wish until three years later.

I returned to the country—not as her dog, but as a tycoon looking to expand my empire alongside my new wife. At the banquet, I ran into Jade. Haggard. A shadow of her former self.

Her eyes went wide. Shock first, then a glimmer of desperate hope. "Andrew? Andrew Mason, you finally came back to see me." Her voice cracked. "You've forgiven me, haven't you?"
