THE WOLFE LEGACY: HEIRESS OF THE EMPIRE

THE WOLFE LEGACY: HEIRESS OF THE EMPIRE

Cassian shattered her after one reckless night, leaving only memories and the echo of his touch. Now he wants her back into his world, to wear his name, and fight a war beside him. Three months ago, Aria Ravenwood walked in with pastries and dreams. She left with a broken heart, after finding the man she loved in bed with someone else, and not even with a woman. One betrayal. One party. One spiked drink that dragged her into the darkest night of her life… and into the arms of the cold, commanding and addictive Cassian Wolfe. They shared a single night; reckless, raw, unforgettable. By morning, he was gone. Now he’s back. Not with apologies, but a contract. One year. One marriage. No love. No lies. Only vengeance wrapped in silk and whispered promises. Aria says yes not for love, but for power. To reclaim what was stolen. To burn every bridge and make them all regret ever crossing her. But Cassian Wolfe isn’t just a weapon… he’s a storm. And every kiss, every touch, every look threatens to turn revenge into surrender. Because the real game isn’t survival. It’s learning how to win… When your heart is the first thing you’re willing to sacrifice.

Chapter: CHAPTER 49
~CASSIAN~Viktor swirls the ice in his crystal glass, the clinks soft, his gaze locked on mine. “Your father,” he starts slowly and deliberately, “he ruled with an iron fist. But even iron rusts, yes?” A faint, sharp grin curls on his lips, as if he knows something I don’t. “I wonder if the son is as strong as the man he replaced.”My jaw tightens, but I stay calm. I don’t flinch or give him the victory of a reaction. I lean back in my chair, deliberate, like I have all the time in the world to play this dangerous game.“Funny,” I say, my voice light but razor-sharp, “the last person who asked that out loud isn’t around to tell you the answer.” I let my words settle between us like a stone. I see Viktor’s brief amusement deepen, a warning flickering in his eyes.Vaughn, sitting beside me, doesn’t move but I feel the heat of his tension. We’re both coiled and ready, but this isn’t a war fought with guns just yet.Viktor chuckles low and dark, clearly savoring the verbal sparring. “I li

Chapter: CHAPTER 48
~CASSIAN~I shrug out of my suit jacket the second I step into the room, tossing it over the armchair before reaching for the whiskey on the side table. A quick pour, a burn down my throat, just enough to take the edge off. The glass hits the counter with a quiet clink as I strip out of the rest of my clothes and head for the shower.The water is hot, a sharp contrast against the cold weight in my chest, washing away the stench of tonight’s event but not the tension coiled under my skin. I’m barely out, towel in hand, when my phone buzzes across the dresser. Vaughn.“Cass, we’ve got a problem. A big one,” his voice slices through the quiet of the room, cutting straight through the haze of steam still clinging to my skin.My gut tightens. Vaughn doesn’t sound rattled easily. This isn’t the kind of voice he uses for minor inconveniences like Nico Wolfe… Or did his shit get worse?“Go on,” I say, already bracing myself.“We finally confirmed it,” he says, every word weighed down. “Wells

Chapter: CHAPTER 47
~SIENNA~While waiting for Aria's update on my request, my phone lit up with Celeste’s name, making my stomach drop hard.“New mission,” she said, her voice icy, sharp. “The boss wants eyes on Cassian and Aria tonight at an event. I’m sending you an invitation. Blend in, watch, and report back.”My mouth went dry. “And if they see me?”“They won’t,” she replied coldly, like a slammed door. “You know what happens if they do.”Just like that, my night and the last scraps of my conscience, were claimed.When I arrived, the party was alive with wealth and power. Crystal chandeliers sparkled above designer gowns, laughter floated like rehearsed music, smiles were sharp weapons hiding knives. My dress felt too tight, my skin even tighter, like I didn’t belong.Then I saw her.Aria.Bathed under a chandelier’s glow, wrapped in midnight silk made for her alone. Hair swept up, neck bare—a picture of quiet power that screamed louder than any polished socialite there. She was breathtaking.But i

Chapter: CHAPTER 46
~ARIA~Returning to the table, Cassian’s sharp gaze lifted to meet mine immediately. His eyes narrowed ever so slightly, sensing the shift in my mood.“What happened?” he asked quietly, just for me.I shook my head, forcing a small dismissive smile as I slid back into my seat. “Nothing,” I said softly, reaching for my glass.His jaw twitched, unconvinced, but he didn’t press. Moments later, he stood, buttoning his jacket while glancing toward the host.“I’m going to give the present to the celebrant. Come with me?”I hesitated, my fingers tightening around my glass stem before gently shaking my head. “Go ahead. I’ll wait here.”Something flickered in his expression - a pause, like he almost wanted to insist, but then he gave a short nod and slipped into the crowd.Left alone, I exhaled slowly, chest still tight with residual tension. I lifted my champagne to my lips; the bubbles did little to wash the unease.That’s when I saw her again, the girl from the restroom. She wasn’t alone th

Chapter: CHAPTER 45
~ARIA~Breakfast had just ended when Cassian put down his glass and leaned back, his sharp gaze fixed on me.“There’s a party tonight,” he said casually, like it was no big deal. “A birthday for one of my associates. I want you to come with me.”I froze, my hand paused on the napkin, staring at him. My first instinct was to refuse - the word no was right there on the tip of my tongue. I was still brittle from yesterday (though I didn’t know exactly why), and the last thing I wanted was to parade myself around in his world full of polished smiles and sharpened knives.But my lips betrayed me. “Okay,” I whispered, surprising both myself and him.His brows rose slightly, as if he hadn’t expected me to give in that quickly. “I’ll have a dress delivered…”“That won’t be necessary,” I cut in quickly, lifting my chin. “I have plenty at the studio. I’ll pick from my own collection.”Cassian barely tilted his head before returning to his wine. The conversation was over.I crept off to my room

Chapter: CHAPTER 44
~CASSIAN~The first thing I learned in life is patience. The second is restraint. Both were being tested tonight.Sitting in the living room with my phone in hand and attempting to avoid checking the time every five seconds, I had been ready for nearly 45 minutes. We still had time before we had to leave, so it wasn't that Aria was late; rather, I had finished getting dressed sooner than anticipated. She was upstairs getting the final touches done on her dress, hair, and makeup with the stylist I had hired for her. To keep my mind from wandering, I pretended to be interested in something as I browsed through my phone - a few unread emails about an acquisition deal that wouldn’t close for another week. A report on one of my overseas projects. A notification from a security update. Nothing exciting, nothing worth my attention right now. Once or twice, I wanted to text someone to kill time, but I refrained from doing so because in actuality, my thoughts kept returning to her. Wondering
