Auctioned Heiress: The Vicious Queen's Revenge

I single-handedly saved my family's corporate empire from a hostile takeover, securing our market share for the next decade.

But my grandfather didn't see me as a hero. He saw me as a flawed piece of inventory.

To calm the board and fix the reputation I supposedly ruined, he forced me into an arranged marriage, auctioning me off to the highest bidder.

Desperate, I turned to my childhood friend, Egnacio, the only person who ever promised to protect me.

But instead of saving me, he publicly humiliated me. He used my desperation as a networking opportunity, pitching my arranged marriage as a business deal to a ruthless private equity king named Dexter Mathews.

Later that night, I caught Egnacio holding my cruel cousin in his arms.

"What man wants to be with a woman who looks at you like she's planning a hostile takeover?"

Hearing him mock my pain shattered the last bit of hope I had.

I realized I was never family to them. I was just a sharp knife, used to cut down their enemies and then traded for cash before I got dull.

The heartbreak vanished, replaced by a cold, violent rage.

I didn't break, and I didn't run.

Instead, I got into the back of Dexter Mathews's car. He had watched my family tear me apart, but he didn't see a broken pawn. He saw a queen.

And together, we were going to burn their entire empire to the ground.
