"If our eyes get blurred due to cataracts, we can clear them through eye surgery. But what can we do if we suffer from a cataract of delusion?" ___________________________________ Olivia Whitley had always believed her life was picture-perfect - until she uncovered the devastating truth: her first love, Vinson, had been in love with their childhood friend, Leo. Out of loyalty, Olivia had agreed to a sham marriage with Leo, sacrificing her own happiness to protect them from societal judgment and their families wrath. But her sacrifices had thrust her into a web of betrayal and deceit, culminating in a shocking outcome - seven years in prison for crimes she hadn't committed. Manipulated by those she trusted most, she was left haunted by memories of love, loss, and devastating secrets. After her release, Olivia embarked on a dangerous journey to uncover the conspiracy that had destroyed her life. As she dug into long-buried truths and questioned everything she once believed, she faced a terrifying reality. Could she unmask the culprits and discover the truth, or would she drown in the sea of delusion - a world her mind had created to shield her from unbearable pain? As the lines between reality and delusion blurred, Olivia had to decide: would she fight for justice, or lose herself to the darkness forever? ___________________________________ 🏳️‍🌈 🌈 🏳️‍🌈 LGBT 🏳️‍🌈 🌈 🏳️‍🌈 👿👿 Conspiracy 👿👿 🕵️‍♀️ Strong Female Lead 🕵️‍♀️ 🎢 Emotional Rollercoaster 🎢 ___________________________________ This Novel is exclusively available on WATTPAD Copyright, 2023 - 2025 © S.
