betrayal

She was his everything. Not because he needed her—but because once she entered his life, nothing else mattered. The world had always bent to his will. Money obeyed him. Power answered to him. People feared him. But she… she ruined him in ways no enemy ever could. She became the one thing he could not control. He watched her like a man guarding his last breath—silent, alert, dangerous. Every smile of hers felt like a victory. Every tear felt like a personal failure. And anyone who dared to make her suffer unknowingly signed their own destruction. He didn’t fall in love gently. He claimed. He protected. He consumed. She was the weakness he never allowed himself to have—and the only one he would gladly bleed for. If the world demanded a sacrifice, he would offer it everything except her. If fate tried to take her away, he would break fate without hesitation. She didn’t belong to him by contract. She didn’t stay because of fear. She stayed because when he looked at her, there was no escape—only certainty. “You’re mine,” he told her, not as a threat, but as a vow. “And I don’t lose what’s mine.” She was his obsession wrapped in devotion. His darkness softened by desire. His everything—dangerous, irreplaceable, and worth every sin he would commit to keep her. She was his only woman

The night before her coronation, Princess Elara of Dravara made a mistake she could not take back. Her friends begged her to enjoy one last night of freedom before duty tied her forever. So she escaped the palace in disguise. One night. One party. One stranger whose touch she could not forget. She left before sunrise, thinking no one would ever know. But secrets always return. Weeks later, Elara finds out she is carrying the child of the man she cannot even name. And on her coronation day, as she prepares to wear the crown, fate plays a cruel trick, the same man comes back, not as a lover, but as an assassin sent to kill her. He almost ended her life that day. His blade touched her throat. But instead of striking, he whispered that it would not be today. Then he disappeared into the dark, only to return again, this time hiding among the men who wished to become her bodyguards. Now he stays close to her, walking beside her every day, guarding her in public, while secretly waiting for the right moment to finish the job. Elara now carries a dangerous secret: she is a queen with a crown on her head, a child growing in her womb, and an assassin always by her side. His hands once held her in passion, but those same hands were trained to spill her blood. Surrounded by enemies and trapped in lies, Elara must wonder, has she given her heart to her protector, or has she trusted the man who will one day destroy her?

Elara Monroe had always believed that love was simple, that the warmth and attention of Adrian Blackwood, the man she trusted and cared for, were constants in her life.

As her chest tightens with every unanswered question and every unacknowledged moment, Elara realizes that love cannot thrive on absence. Facing the choice between staying in a relationship that slowly erodes her sense of self or reclaiming her own worth, she must decide if the man she loves can ever give her the care she deserves or if some distances are too great to bridge.

On my third wedding anniversary, my husband poisoned me. As I lay dying on the cold restaurant floor, I watched him smile beside my step-sister his mistress since before our wedding day. My marriage was a lie. My love was a tool. And my death was carefully planned. I thought dying would finally set me free. Instead, I woke up three years in the past one week before I married the man who killed me. This time, I won’t be the obedient wife who walks blindly into her own grave. I’ll cancel the wedding. Expose their betrayal. And marry the one man my ex-fiancé fears the most. Adrian Blackwood. The Devil CEO. A ruthless billionaire with no mercy for his enemies. I walked into his office with a deal: “Marry me. Help me destroy Ethan Cole and I’ll give you everything you need to take him down.” I expected a cold contract marriage. What I didn’t expect… was the way he looked at me like I already belonged to him. “You’re under my protection now, Sophia,” he said calmly. “And I never let go of what’s mine.” Revenge was supposed to be simple. Love was never part of the plan. But falling for the Devil may be far more dangerous than the man who murdered me. Because Adrian Blackwood doesn’t play games. And once he chooses something he keeps it. Forever. In my first life, I died for love. In this life, I’ll make them all pay.
