From Pawn To Queen
Born into wealth but raised without love, Mariah Ashford has always been nothing more than a tool in her parents’ hands.
Obedient. Silent. Replaceable.
To save their collapsing company, they trade her away like a business contract—forcing her into a loveless marriage with Tony Wright, the arrogant heir of the richest family in the country.
To him, she isn’t a wife.
She’s a transaction.
Humiliated, neglected, and forced to watch her husband flaunt his mistress in their home every night, Mariah endures it all, believing that if she tries hard enough, someone might finally choose her.
But the night she’s pushed down the stairs and thrown out like trash.
Something inside her breaks.
Alone, injured, and abandoned, she collapses outside a hospital—only to be saved by a stranger.
A quiet, dangerously handsome man with unreadable eyes.
Asher Cross.
A name whispered in the business world.
A man more powerful than the Wrights. Richer. Untouchable.
And for reasons she doesn’t understand, he refuses to let her go.
For the first time in her life, Mariah is treated with warmth. With respect. With care.
And when Asher discovers her hidden talent for fashion design, he does something no one has ever done before—
He believes in her.
With his silent protection and her own rising strength, Mariah begins to rebuild her life and her dreams.
A new name.
A new identity.
A fashion empire of her own.
But when her grand brand launch shakes the entire country and the elites receive an exclusive invitation…
Her ex-husband.
His mistress.
And the parents who sold her.
They all attend.
Not knowing the woman they once discarded.
Is now the queen standing above them all.
This time?
They’ll be the ones begging.
And Mariah will never be anyone’s pawn again.
