"Her name is Anna," my father announced, his hand resting proudly on her shoulder. "She is my biological daughter, kidnapped at the age of three and lost for many years. And from today onward, she will take over Quinn's Enterprise as the new CEO and my successor." The room froze. "No… no, this can't be happening…" Melissa whispered, her voice trembling.

His marriage has cracks he doesn't see. And the investors keeping him afloat? They answer to me now. He thinks he's untouchable. That my formula made him invincible.

And this time, I'm the one holding all the cards.

"Twelve years of love, loyalty, and promises—shattered in one gunshot moment. Aria thought she knew what love meant: sacrifices, patience, blind faith in the man she'd called her fiancé for over a decade. But on Valentine's Day, with a gun pointed in their direction, Liam instinctively shielded his ex, Sophia—while Aria was left bleeding and invisible. ""You almost died!""

“Whose touch made you cry for more tonight?” Lucien’s voice was a low snarl as he gripped my jaw, forcing me to meet his gaze. “Yours,” I whispered, my voice unsteady. “Alpha, please—” Silas’s hands tightened on my hips as he pulled me closer, his words rough against my spine. “Liar. She trembled for me.” “Should we make her prove it?” Claude murmured, his breath hot at my throat. “Let her beg until she remembers who she belongs to.” I was shaking, caught between them, their shadows and their heat pressing in from every side. All I could do was breathe, “Yes… don’t stop.” And they didn’t. Like they never could. Like I was theirs, all three of theirs. --- Lilith used to believe in loyalty. In love. In her pack.

After suffering amnesia from her injuries, Elara V. Rossi was saved by Leo Hawk. Grateful and infatuated, she shamelessly pursued him relentlessly until they eventually married. Yet, throughout their two-year marriage, she was nothing but humble, clingy, and seemingly worthless "Ella" in his eyes, receiving only his indifference and disdain. "You? Love me? You’re not worthy." His words cut through her last hope like an icy blade.

"Mr. Hawk, Madame—" "Has she finally agreed to see me?" A flicker of hope ignited in Leo’s eyes." "No... The Saudi prince, the Silicon Valley prodigy, and the Russian arms magnate have just arrived. They’ve announced their intentions to propose to Ms. Rossi!" Leo Hawk finally panicked. Crushing his cigar, he dialed her long-abandoned number: "Elara, let’s remarry..." On the other end, the woman let out a light chuckle, her voice cold yet mesmerizing: "Remarry? Mr. Hawk, I’m afraid it is you—who is not worthy."
