As soon as she heard a rumor about this, Meagan ran back to her cramped apartment rental and threw herself into the arms of her husband. "They all say you're the powerful Mr. Friedman. Is that true?" He stroked her hair gently. "We just look alike, that's all." Meagan stuck out her lip in a cute pout. "But that man insists that I'm his wife. It's so frustrating. Honey, beat him up for me, will you?" The following day, Mr. Friedman showed up at his company with bruises on his face. Everyone was dumbfounded. What on earth had happened to their CEO? He smiled. "My wife gave the order, so I had no choice but to obey."

I walked into the Thorn estate with another man's diamond on my finger, naive enough to think it could shield me from Marcus. But the Don of the city’s underworld didn't even blink. He called my engagement ring a "cute trinket" and introduced me to his own fiancée, Chloe, right then and there. "Love is a fairy tale for children, Ellie," he sneered. "And you are far too old for fairy tales." I tried to leave with dignity, but the knife twisted deeper. I found my mother’s silver locket—the one he swore to protect with his life—buried in the mud like trash. He hadn't just rejected me; he had erased me. Broken, I fled to Florence to marry a man I didn't love, just to escape the suffocation of the estate. But I couldn't outrun the heartbreak. I collapsed in a foreign apartment, burning with fever, while my fiancé worried more about wedding seating charts than my life. I thought I was going to die alone. Until I woke up in a sterile clinic room. My fiancé was gone. Standing by my bed, looking like a vengeful god who had just burned down a city to get to me, was Marcus. He trapped me against the mattress, his eyes dark with a terrifying mix of rage and possession. "Did you really think you could run from me?" he growled. "I returned the locket," I whispered, trembling. "We are even." "Fuck the locket," he said. "You belong to me, Ellie. And I am not leaving without you."

I stood by the French doors, the coolness barely a comfort. Tonight, at the Kensington gala, my fate was to be sealed. As the heir to the discreetly powerful principality of Eldoria, my choice of husband would secure a powerful alliance. Just like before. A wave of dizzying clarity hit me, a memory so sharp it tasted like ash. My past life. I had poured everything into Ethan Kensington, my cousin, my first love. My Eldorian influence, my vast fortune – all to make him governor. He won. Then he found Chloe Hayes. He changed. He became obsessed with her, twisting every slight she felt into a weapon against me. He blamed me, the "cold princess," for her career struggles, her insecurities. So, he orchestrated my ruin. A public smear campaign, vicious and relentless. Economic attacks that bled Eldoria dry. He watched, smiling, as my life ended in disgrace, alone. His voice, cold as ice, echoed: "punishment for meddling with his love for Chloe." How could someone I loved and sacrificed everything for turn so utterly, maliciously against me? How could my own resources be weaponized to destroy me and my country? The injustice burned, a brand on my soul. But then, I opened my eyes. I was back. Reborn at this very gala, the precise moment where my destruction began. This time, I knew the game. This time, I would rewrite my destiny. Liam, his mournful face a beacon in my memory, would be my anchor. My retribution starts now.

After seven years of marriage, I discovered my billionaire husband Grayson' s will. He was leaving his entire fortune not to me, but to his young protégée, Kira. My life was a lie; I was just a placeholder, a womb for the heir his mistress couldn't carry. When I demanded a divorce, he laughed. "You're pregnant, Elyse. And you think you're just going to walk away with my child?" He tore up the papers, threatening to use his immense power to take our baby. Then Kira, his mistress, showed up at my door, confirming my worst fear: Grayson wanted my child to raise as his and hers. She even sent me a photo of him asleep in her bed, wearing the pajamas I bought him, with a chilling message. "He hopes our baby has a dimple too. For me." I was chosen because I resembled her. My son was meant to be her child. That night, I vanished. The news later reported a pregnant woman, identified by my wedding ring, had died in a clinic fire. But I was already on a plane, my hand on my belly, escaping to a new life.

Quickly, my breath seized in my throat. I hadn't anticipated finding him in his room, let alone finding him like this– NAKED! "Maybe I'll come back later. I'm sorry," I said, tension strangling my voice. "No, please. Stay!" He said in a calm tone. I looked at him hysterically, and, like he had just recognised his own nudity, he smiled confidently. "I'll just put on something if you're uncomfortable." "Uncomfortable?" I scoffed, trying to sound assuring. "No, I'm not uncomfortable. I've seen a lot of naked boys." He shot a glance at me, sending a thrill running down my chest. "Boys?" He asked, closing the distance between us. He grabbed my left hand and placed it on his hard breast, his heart beating steady, a stark contrast to mine, which raced like an antelope running from a predator in a jungle. "Well... I've seen a lot of naked boys, but not a naked man..." I whispered softly, gazing and feeling lost in his starry eyes. ******************* Reina Grayson, the wolf-less Alpha's daughter, harbours a dangerous secret: she possesses a silver wolf.
