My name is Jenifer Zach. I gave eight years of my life to Reed Gould, erasing my own identity to become the perfect wife. My reward? He left me alone on a surgical table during an ectopic pregnancy to comfort his first love. My own son, Romano, was taught to look at me with contempt, his heart poisoned by the very woman who shattered our family.
That night, the woman he took for granted died. With nothing left to lose, I decided to become myself again. The mysterious “Nova” whose fireworks now dominate the market? That’s me. His most brilliant and fearsome competitor? Also me. And the secret heiress to the Zach dynasty he never knew existed? That is the woman I truly am.
Now, Reed’s world is unraveling. He is a man haunted by regret, his empire threatened by a rival he can’t unmask. He begs for me to return, but that version of Jenifer is a ghost. I am Jenifer Zach, and from the new life I’ve built, they can only watch as I rise.


Tension filled the conference room as everyone exchanged worried glances. The unexpected arrival of board members could only spell disaster for the company.


"Everyone take five," I said, standing up to follow Ralph into the corridor.


Ralph briefed me as we walked. "Mr. Gould, the board showed up without warning. I have no idea who orchestrated this. They're waiting in the main conference room now."


I stopped at the conference room entrance and faced Ralph. "Find out who's orchestrating this mess, and figure out if they're gunning for the company or targeting me specifically. Keep it discreet."


My thoughts churned. 'This has to be one of two scenarios. Either the board wants me out as CEO, or someone's actively trying to destroy Gould Group. If it's both, I'm screwed.'


After giving the order, I adjusted my suit jacket and opened the door. Silence descended as I entered. Every board member's eyes locked onto me.
