After His Wife's Death, the CEO Went Mad

**Three years ago, my first love was nothing more than a housekeeper's son.** **But when he was released from prison, he returned as a man I no longer recognized—the ruthless CEO of the Thomas Group, wielding limitless power.** "Adeline," he vowed, his eyes cold as steel. "I will make you pay for your sins." True to his word, he stripped me of everything. Because of him, I was forced into the darkest corners of society, enduring every humiliation just to survive. It was only when I was on my deathbed, begging for one final moment with him, that the mask finally cracked. For the first time, I saw tears in his eyes. I reached out, placing our daughter’s small hand into his. And in that moment, the powerful CEO fell to his knees before me, weeping like a broken man.
