Reborn as the Billionaire's Discarded Wife

[Ongoing] "I’ll think of my real family now." With those cold words, Ethan Pierce signed the DNR order that ended Aria’s life. Betrayed by her husband and his pregnant mistress, Aria died in a sterile hospital room—discarded like yesterday's trash while her "murderers" celebrated. But fate has a twisted sense of humor. Aria wakes up gasping in a luxury suite in the Maldives. She is twenty-five again. It is the second day of her honeymoon. She has exactly 1,095 days until her scheduled death. Armed with a hidden $2.3 million inheritance and memories of every betrayal, Aria decides to play a new game. She will no longer be the mousy, devoted wife. She will be the predator in the boardroom and the shadow that dismantles the Pierce empire brick by brick. However, the Ethan she wakes up to is different. He’s attentive. He’s protective. He’s... desperate for her touch. As the war of hearts and stocks begins, Aria realizes she isn't the only one keeping secrets. An unknown sender warns her: “You shouldn’t have come back.” In a world of regression and corporate bloodbaths, who is the real hunter? And what happens when the man you've vowed to destroy is the only one who remembers how you died? Get ready for a high-stakes tale of vengeance, second chances, and the deadly cost of cheating fate. "People don't change, Ethan. They just get better at hiding who they really are." Ethan’s grip on his wedding band tightened—a tell she now knew all too well. He stepped into her personal space, his glacial blue eyes raw with a guilt he couldn't name. "Then let me be a better liar for you," he whispered, his voice a low rumble. "If you want the empire, I’ll give it to you. If you want my father’s head, I’ll bring it on a platter. Just… don’t look at me like I’m a ghost." Aria offered a cold, practiced smile, the kind that never reached her amber eyes. She checked her watch. 1,094 days left. "I'm not looking at a ghost, Ethan," she said, tapping the contract between them. "I'm looking at a business partner. Sign the papers, and maybe I’ll let you stay in the same room as me." Ethan didn't hesitate. He signed. He didn't know he had just signed over the keys to his own destruction. And Aria? She didn't know that Ethan was counting the days, too. The war has officially begun.

THE Knight’s Hidden Princess

A princess's duty is to be beautiful, quiet, not loud, to be seen and not to be heard, which was how Dahlia lived most of her life. Bound by the expectations of her title, she spent years trying to prove to her father that she was more than just a princess and capable of being more than an ornament in his court but each time she never got the chance. Instead, she was forced into a marriage of convenience with the bravest knight in all the kingdom, Reagan Hawthorne. Dahlia thought she would use this marriage to escape the brutal crutches of her father and glide out of her cage but Reagan’s cold disdain was an unexpected prison of its own. While he waged wars on distant lands, she stayed behind, holding his household together and protecting the people he seemed to ignore. But Dahlia carried a dangerous secret. By day, she was the perfect wife. By night, she became the "Black Knight," a masked vigilante fighting for justice in the shadows. Reagan returned, ready to focus on his personal mission: avenging his father’s death. To him, Dahlia was just another pawn in his plans—a spoiled princess he needed to tolerate. But as cracks began to form in her perfect façade, Reagan couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to his wife than met the eye. Now, with enemies circling closer and their secrets threatening to collide, Dahlia and Reagan must confront the lies they’ve told themselves and each other. But when masks fall and truths are revealed, will their fragile bond withstand the storm—or will it shatter beyond repair? One wound. One secret. One night that changes everything.
