Chapter: Chapter 10“Miss Veilthorn.”“Family of Mrs. Veilthorn?”Two voices called out to her at the same time.One belonged to Jorah Damaric.The other came from a man dressed in surgical scrubs who had just emerged through the double doors leading from the operating room.Crystal helped Maera to her feet and, without asking a single question, guided her toward the doctor instead of Jorah.“How is my grandmother, Doctor?” Maera asked anxiously.The handsome young physician—the same doctor who had been fighting to save her grandmother from the very beginning—looked at her with a calm expression. Before answering, his gaze briefly shifted past her shoulder toward Jorah, who had somehow moved close enough to stand beside them without her noticing.“The surgery was successful, and Mrs. Veilthorn's condition is now stable,” he said. “The anesthesia will take a few more hours to wear off, but overall, your grandmother is going to be just fine.”

Chapter: Chapter 9.2Crystal leaned back in her chair.“I heard he got arrested.”Maera froze.“Arrested?”Crystal nodded.“Why?”“They said he was driving under the influence.”Drunk?The word echoed in Maera's head.“If he wanted to get himself killed, he should've driven off a cliff somewhere,” Crystal muttered bitterly. “Not through the middle of the city where he could hurt innocent people.”But Maera barely heard the rest.Her mind had already drifted back to the moment of the accident.She had been waving goodbye to her grandmother.Then came the screech of tires.She had turned her head and seen a red car swerving uncontrollably across the road.And then—Chaos.People screaming.A crowd gathering.Her grandmother lying on the pavement, covered in blood.The car.It had been Jayden's car.At the time, she'd been too consumed by panic and fear f

Chapter: Chapter 9.1The first thing Maera saw when she opened her eyes was a white ceiling and pale blue curtains surrounding her bed.What happened?Frowning, she pushed herself upright. The moment she put weight on her arm, a slight sting shot through her left hand. Looking down, she found an IV line taped to her skin.“You're awake.”A nurse approached, a clipboard tucked beneath her arm.“Where am I?” Maera asked, her voice rough and scratchy.“The ER. You collapsed from shock and exhaustion.” The nurse checked the IV bag hanging beside the bed. It was only a third full now. “It's just vitamins. Once it's finished, you'll be free to go home.”The ER?Confusion washed over her.How had she ended up here?The last thing she remembered was sitting in Jorah Damaric's office inside the Drenvarr Building.“Who brought me here?” she asked.“I'm sorry, I don't know,” the nurse replied apologetically. “I just starte

Chapter: Chapter 8Maera hurried into the building Jorah had mentioned, almost breaking into a run as she crossed the lobby.“I need to see Mr. Jorah Damaric,” she said to the receptionist.The woman looked her over from head to toe, her expression difficult to read.“Do you have an appointment?” she asked, her tone noticeably sharper than necessary.Maera nodded nervously, but the receptionist continued to regard her with obvious skepticism.“Your name?”“Maera Veilthorn,” she replied, unable to hide her impatience.Stress was already weighing heavily on her, and the woman's condescending attitude only made it worse. She knew she looked disheveled and completely out of place in a prestigious building like Drenvarr Tower. But she hadn't had time to go home and change into something more presentable—something that would make her look worthy of meeting wealthy executives and powerful businessmen.Maybe it was just her imagination, but the way the receptionist picked up the phone and dialed a number seemed

Chapter: Chapter 7.2Orion's eyes widened dramatically. He looked genuinely offended.“Yes,” Jorah said without hesitation. “I'm kicking you out.”“Why?”This time, his voice sounded almost hurt.“Because I'm sick of both of you.”The blunt response made Orion struggle to hold back a laugh.If Jorah weren't a Beta—and if he weren't someone Kael considered a younger brother—he would have fled this entire situation long ago.He still couldn't agree with Kael's plan to make Maera the surrogate who would carry his Alpha offspring.Again and again, Jorah had laid out every fear and concern he could think of, only for Kael to brush them aside as though none of them mattered. Every argument Jorah raised was met with unwavering certainty.“She’s just an ordinary human. If she carries your child—a child conceived from your powerful bloodline and spiritual aura—I’m afraid her body won’t be able to withstand it. She could be put in serious danger.”Jorah had voiced that concern one evening, but Kael hadn't even flin

Chapter: Chapter 7.1“Hello.”Jorah answered the call on his phone in a cold tone that made Kael glance at him with one eyebrow raised.Both Kael and Jorah could already guess who was calling. And even though Kael had told him to be polite, Jorah simply couldn't bring himself to do it. A part of him was still hoping Kael would change his mind about Maera.“M-Mr. Damaric?”The hesitant squeak in Maera's voice only deepened Jorah's guilt.He knew she didn't deserve such a frosty reception. She had no idea what Kael was planning. Right now, she was probably confused, anxious, and overwhelmed, believing her grandmother was in critical condition when, in reality, the woman was perfectly fine. Her current situation was merely part of an arrangement orchestrated by Kael and his best friend—the vampire, Damon Vargrave—who, unfortunately, happened to be the director of the hospital.“Yes. Who am I speaking with?” Jorah continued the charade.“I-I'm Maera Veilthorn,” she replied, her voice tight with nerves.“Do I

The Revenge You Deserve
“I’m going to marry Diana.”
Dominic’s words struck like lightning.
“She’s pregnant with Dominic’s child,” Rowena cut in smoothly. “And I can assure you—it’s a boy.”
Audrey Blackwell gave everything to the man she loved—her loyalty, her strength, even her silent sacrifices behind the scenes.
And in return, he gave her nothing but betrayal.
Fresh out of her final round of chemotherapy, Audrey is cast aside by her husband, Dominic, and humiliated by the family she once called her own. Branded as weak, worthless, and unable to give them a son, she is replaced without hesitation—by his pregnant mistress.
But what they don’t know is this:
Audrey Blackwell was never the helpless woman they thought she was.
Behind the quiet smile lies a powerful secret—a hidden empire, a fortune, and connections that built the very life they now take for granted.
And Audrey is done being invisible.
As she steps back into the world she once ruled, Audrey begins to reclaim everything that was stolen from her—piece by piece, lie by lie. With allies by her side and nothing left to lose, she sets her plan into motion.
Careers will crumble. Secrets will be exposed. And the people who broke her will fall harder than they ever imagined.
But revenge comes at a cost.
When a man who has quietly loved her all along steps into her life, Audrey must choose between holding onto her pain… or risking her heart one last time.
Because this time, she’s not just taking back what’s hers—
She’s becoming someone no one will ever dare to destroy again.

Chapter: Part 7.2I had already taken a step forward, but I stopped and turned back to her, my gaze turning cold.“And I’ve already made it clear—I won’t take a single cent from your son, Mrs. Pierce.”Rowena and Amelia scoffed in disbelief.I shifted my eyes to Dominic, my expression firm. “I won’t make things difficult for you, Dom. Everything you own will remain yours—except my children. All you need to do is grant me custody in court, and I promise… you’ll have your peace.”My voice dropped, colder than before.“I swear, you and your new family will never be burdened by my daughters.”With that, I turned and walked toward the door again.“Don’t forget your things,” Amelia called out, kicking the worn suitcase I didn’t even recognize.“I don’t need any of that,” I replied with a mocking smile.I released Chelsea’s hand and slowly walked back toward Dominic… toward him and his mistress.Then, without breaking my gaze, I slipped off the wedding ring still on my finger.I reached for Diana’s left hand.

Chapter: Part 7.1I stared at Rowena, my brow furrowing. What did she mean—only I could leave, while my children had to stay?“You think I don’t know your little scheme?” she went on, her voice dripping with suspicion. “You plan to take them away and then bleed Dominic dry every month under the pretense of living expenses—for them, of course. Though I assume that conveniently includes your own.”For a moment, I was speechless.Was that really how they saw me?Was I that materialistic in their eyes? That cruel—that I would use my own children as leverage for money?My hands clenched into fists, every ounce of restraint poured into stopping myself from slapping the woman who used to be my mother-in-law. Instead, a soft, mocking laugh slipped from my lips.“Do you want me to add a clause to the divorce stating that I won’t take a single cent from your son?” I shot back, my voice sharp with irritation.Rowena stiffened, her expression tightening with offense.“Let me make this clear,” I continued coldly. “

Chapter: Part 6.2I met his gaze coldly. He stared back, unease flickering in his eyes. Then I noticed it—the other woman’s hand resting on his arm, gently stroking as if to steady him, to give him strength.“You can sign here.” Dominic pointed at several spots on the pages.I signed them all. One after another. No hesitation. No pause.When I was done, I set the pen down on top of the documents.“Audrey… I didn’t want to do this, but—”“But you did,” I cut in sharply.My gaze moved between him and the woman beside him, my voice low but cutting. “You didn’t just destroy my trust—you destroyed our marriage.”All this time—even before we got married—Dominic had rarely ever called me by my name. He’d always used endearments instead—darling, my love. But today… and perhaps even for some time now, without me realizing it—he kept saying my name over and over again.As if I had already become a stranger to him.As if I was no longer the woman he loved.“But what my mother said is true,” he continued. “I need

Chapter: Part 6.1“She’s pregnant with Dominic’s child,” Rowena cut in smoothly. “And I can assure you—it’s a boy.”In that instant, it felt as though my heart had been ripped from my chest. Tears spilled down my cheeks before I even realized I was crying. My legs gave out beneath me, and I might have collapsed right there if Eva hadn’t rushed back in time to catch me.“So this is all because of a male heir?” I whispered. I wasn’t even sure whether I was asking myself or the cruel people standing in front of me, each wearing a different shade of indifference.“What else would it be?” Rowena shot back, her voice laced with scorn. “Dominic needs a son to carry on the Pierce name. And you?” Her lips curled faintly. “We all know you can’t give him a child anymore.”I frowned, disbelief tightening my chest. How could she pass such a merciless sentence on me? Did she think she was God, declaring that I would never be able to conceive again? Yes, I had undergone chemotherapy—but that didn’t mean I could never

Chapter: Part 5A few days passed, and what Eva had said—about Dominic divorcing me—still hadn’t happened.Maybe he was stalling. Or maybe… he had changed his mind.I didn’t know.I spent my days trying to heal. Resting. Eating whatever Eva prepared for me. Sometimes, I slipped out through the back door for a quiet walk in the park. And in the evenings, when my daughters were home, I spent time with them—playing, laughing, holding onto those small moments that still felt like mine.Then the weekend came.And so did the commotion.“That’s mine!”Chelsea’s voice rang out, loud and sharp. It was close—too close to the back kitchen. That meant she was nearby.I rose to my feet, exchanging a glance with Eva, who was peeling fruit, before we both stepped toward the connecting door.There, Chelsea was struggling over a book with Diana’s younger son.I had since learned his name was Oliver—he was the same age as Chelsea. In fact, Dominic was even trying to get him enrolled in the same school Chelsea attende

Chapter: Part 4Rowena never liked me.From the very first day I met her, her gaze was cold—assessing, dismissive—as if I were something dirty that had been dragged into her home.I still remember the soft scoff that slipped from her lips when she learned what I did for a living. A shop assistant.And the way she compared me to Dominic’s exes—women with “proper” careers, more “class,” more worth.Back then, I only smiled. Swallowed it all down. Hoping… that one day, she would see me differently.If I were patient enough. Kind enough. Perfect enough.Our wedding was simple. Not because we couldn’t afford more, but because I had no family. No one to invite.Rowena used that as an excuse.And I… accepted it. Without protest.On my wedding day, the only person by my side was Daisy Beaumont.My best friend. My family.That day, Daisy had openly disapproved of my marriage to Dominic. She told me that if I were just a little more patient, I could find someone better—someone wealthier—and gain in-laws who wo
