Bloodshed or Boardroom?

She grew up alone — strict parents, no real friends, no place to belong. Except for one boy from her childhood… the only person who ever made her feel safe. But time separated them before either of them understood why they were so close. Years later, after betrayals and heartbreaks, Aiyumi stops believing in people — until destiny slowly brings him back into her life… Not as a stranger. Not as a memory. But as the soul she was always tied to. Some loves are not found. They are remembered.

Betrayed by blood. Branded as an omen. Forgotten by the world. The newborn prince of Valoria lost everything the night his parents — the Holy Queen and the Lion King — were overthrown by their own kin. Declared dead, his tiny body vanished into the darkness. But destiny didn’t let him die. Years later, a noble family of necromancers found the boy and raised him as their own. He grew up mastering death magic, never knowing that royal blood ran through his veins. Yet deep within his soul, a hidden power sleeps — the divine flame of his fallen kingdom. When fate stirs and enemies rise again, the forgotten heir will awaken… Not as a child of light — but as the Heir of the Sacred Throne, the prince who commands both the living and the dead.

She thought heartbreak was the hardest battle she'd ever fight. Ending a five-year relationship in 2024 nearly broke her, but she rose anyway. By 2028, she’s everything she once dreamed of becoming. A bestselling author, an admired high school teacher, and a successful businesswoman. But behind her perfect image lies a dangerous secret. She’s also one of the most feared underground hackers in the cyber realm. Then one night in City X changes everything. A book signing. Too many drinks. A stranger with a voice like sin and eyes full of danger. The next morning, no memories, a blurred signature, a hotel room, and a man’s touch she can’t forget. Back in City C, she tells herself to move on. Until someone knocks on her door. And the man from her forgotten night says the words that turn her world upside down. “I’m your husband.” He’s younger, commanding, and far from ordinary. A soldier from a secret military unit hidden in the shadows, where forbidden experiments and enhanced beings redefine humanity itself. Now bound by a contract marriage, they’re forced into a world of covert missions, coded lies, and a war between love and survival. She’s a hacker who steals secrets. He’s a soldier sworn to protect them. And when their worlds collide, love becomes both a weapon and a weakness, the only thing powerful enough to save them... or destroy everything they stand for.

Seraphina Hesperia De Gaspariz. That was the name they used to whisper with disdain, the villainess in Akisha and Maverick's story. The woman painted as cruel, arrogant, and heartless. But behind that name.. there was me.. A girl who was never given the chance to simply be loved. Growing up, my father forced me to become the perfect daughter he always wanted, graceful, disciplined, obedient. Every smile I gave him was a lie, forced through trembling lips. He would make me kneel for hours if I failed to memorize a passage, strike my hands with a cane when I stumbled over words, tell me I was worthless when my embroidery wasn't perfect enough to show the other noble ladies. There were days when I'd cry quietly in my room, clutching my swollen palms, whispering to myself that one day I'd be enough. My stepmother was worse. She smiled in front of others, all sweetness and silk, but when the doors closed, her hands were sharp and her words sharper. She called me cursed, unloved, unwanted and I believed her. No one ever knew the bruises beneath my sleeves or the quiet sobs muffled by pillows at night. She took everything that was soft in me and made it ache. And then there was my sister, Novaria. Beautiful, raidiant and shimmers. But she has secrets too. She hated me, I could see it in her eyes, in the way her smile vanished whenever I entered the room. She thinks father loves me more than her, but she is wrong. Yet still.. I loved her. Because no matter how much pain she caused, she was still my sister. And love, even when broken, doesn't fade easily. The man I loved, my fiancé, Maverick, the crown prince of Eldryn. Once, he looked at me as if I was his entire world. He would smile faintly whenever our eyes met, his voice soft whenever he called my name. But love… love doesn't always survive silence. He drifted away, slowly, painfully, until one day, his gaze turned cold. And I had no one to blame but myself. I wasn't ready to open my heart, how could I, when all my life I was taught that love meant pain? The trauma of my childhood clung to me like a shadow. My inner child that frightened little girl still hiding in the corner of a cold room, never stopped crying. And no matter how much I tried to be strong, she haunted every decision I made. Akisha, my beloved friend, my companion and Maverick's beloved. She was everything I was not: Gentle, adored, angelic, a light that drew everyone near. While I. Was the villainess in her story. People looked at me and saw cruelty, arrogance, jealousy. They saw only what they wanted to see. Was it because she shines brighter than anyone else's? Because she was the angel, and I was the devil who stood beside her? In the end, my story ended as all villainess tales do. I was executed by the very hand of the man I loved. Falsely accused of betraying my kingdom, of selling Eldryn's secrets and poisoning Lady Akisha. How could I ever do that? Why would I ever harm the only people I cared for? But the world.. the world was cruel to me. Even my beloved brother, my protector, my light, turned his back when I needed him most. In that final moment, as the blade hovered above me, I wondered… Was I truly the villain they made me to be? Or just a broken girl who no one ever tried to understand?
