The Trophy Wife's War
Seraphina Reed has spent three years as the silent, decorative wife of tech mogul Ethan Vance. That peace shatters when she walks into his office and finds him entangled with her best friend, Susanna. Exposed and humiliated, Ethan and Susanna—backed by the powerful Vance family—move fast: they freeze her accounts, fire her, and paint her as a mentally unstable gold-digger. Cast out with nothing but a cardboard box of her personal journals—which contain the very research Ethan stole from her—Seraphina seems defeated.
But she is no ordinary victim. Before marriage, she lived under many names, trained in survival and combat. She chose Ethan as her hiding place. Now that hiding place is gone, and the hunter inside awakens.
Her only ally is Julian Thorne, the ruthless "Devil’s Advocate" divorce lawyer who never loses. Initially seeing her as a penniless charity case, Julian changes his mind when she reveals her stolen journals hold proprietary algorithms for Vance’s next product. As the legal war escalates, Seraphina uncovers a deeper conspiracy—embezzlement, a corrupt adoptive family, and even her biological parents, who once tried to burn her alive for insurance money.
With Julian as her shield, Seraphina fights back using hidden reserves, intelligence contacts, and tactical brilliance. But her ultimate goal is not just victory—it is finding her little sister, "Nine," sold to traffickers years ago. The hunt has just begun.
