On the day we were supposed to sign our marriage license, my fiancé vanished.
Not because of work, not because of an accident—he was busy celebrating his “precious adopted sister’s” birthday.Six years of my youth, gone. I went from a bright-eyed girl in my twenties to a woman cornered by family pressure and the ticking clock. And what did I get in return? A worthless ring and endless excuses.
The problem has always been Ivana—the so-called “sister” he always put before me.
But I’ve finally learned the cruelest truth: in love, the worst betrayal isn’t another woman—it’s being sacrificed to someone else’s fake family ties.
So this time, I didn’t cry. I didn’t beg.
I went straight to the one man Cobb fears most—his uncle.
And I struck a deal that would make Cobb’s life burn to ashes.He never saw it coming. The woman he abandoned is the same woman who lit the fire he’ll never be able to put out.

I drew in a steadying breath, my jaw tightening as I fixed Danna with an unwavering stare. "So now you're willing to acknowledge that I'm Soren's wife?"


The words hung in the air like a challenge, and I could see the slight crack in her composed facade. Without missing a beat, I shifted my attention to Charline, my voice dropping to a dangerously quiet tone.


"Then perhaps you can explain why Miss Zaid has been pushing so hard for my divorce from Soren. Unless, of course, she was following someone else's orders."


Charline's eyes blazed with fury, but I could see the trapped animal panic lurking beneath. She knew she'd been caught, backed into a corner with nowhere to run.
