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.


I locked eyes with him, enunciating every syllable with deliberate precision. "Because while I was discovering my ectopic pregnancy, you were out lighting fireworks for Lorelei.


"You claimed work was keeping you busy, but you spent every moment with her, even bringing along the child I'd delivered."


A flash of surprise crossed Reed's features.


I absorbed his expression, though I no longer gave a damn whether his shock stemmed from learning I knew the truth or something else entirely.


"And my surgery date? Christmas Eve," I continued.


I shifted my gaze away, lost in the painful recollection. "Can you recall what occupied your time that evening?"


Reed's mouth formed a tight line, offering no response.


I released a quiet laugh. "I certainly can. That night, you and Romano were keeping Lorelei company, admiring fireworks designed specifically for her pleasure." I glanced down at my own body, letting out a harsh laugh.
