Chapter: Chapter 193Thalasa POVI couldn’t breathe as I stared at Karen, my mind refusing to accept what my eyes were seeing, because everything about this moment felt unreal in a way that made it impossible to process. My chest rose and fell, but no air seemed to reach me, and my hands hovered near him as if I was afraid that touching him would confirm the truth I was desperately trying to deny. He wasn’t moving, he wasn’t breathing, and no matter how long I stared, nothing changed.Then I heard it.Cynthia was laughing.The sound filled the space around us, sharp and careless, and it didn’t stop. It wasn’t nervous or forced, it was real, like she genuinely found something amusing in everything that had just happened. That sound hit me harder than anything else, echoing in my ears until it drowned out every other thought, and when I turned to look at her, I realized I didn’t recognize her anymore.Or maybe I never did.Something inside me gave way, not in a loud or dramatic way, but in a quiet, final wa

Chapter: Chapter 192Thalasa POVI was still holding Karen, my hands trembling against his face, my mind refusing to settle, when a sharp sound cut through everything. It wasn’t loud, but it was sudden and clean, the kind of sound that didn’t belong in the middle of everything I was feeling, and it snapped my head up instantly.My eyes landed on Kael.For a second, I didn’t understand what I was seeing.His arm was extended, his grip steady, and his sword had gone straight through his brother’s body. The blade had pierced deep into his chest, and the look on his brother’s face shifted from confidence to something else entirely. His lips parted slightly, but no words came out, only a weak breath as his body jerked from the impact.Blood followed slowly, dark and thick, sliding down the blade.“Kael—!” I screamed, the sound tearing out of my throat before I could stop it. I pushed myself up immediately, my body moving without thinking, my mind only focused on reaching them.But I didn’t get far.Something s

Chapter: Chapter 191Thalasa POV“No… no, that’s not true,” I said, the words coming out too fast, too desperate, like if I said it quickly enough it would become real. My eyes stayed locked on Cynthia, searching her face for anything that would tell me this was some kind of misunderstanding. “He’s lying. Kael just wants to break us apart. That’s what this is. You know how he is.”My voice cracked at the end, and I hated that it did.Cynthia didn’t rush to respond.She didn’t look confused. She didn’t look angry.She just looked… still.And that silence was worse than anything she could have said.“You still don’t get it,” she said finally, her voice low, almost tired.My chest tightened painfully. “Get what?” I asked, my fingers curling into my palms. “Cynthia, say something that actually makes sense because none of this—none of this is adding up.”She looked straight at me then, and there was something in her eyes I had never seen before.“I poisoned him.”The world didn’t shatter all at once. It cracke

Chapter: Chapter 190Thalasa POVThe door opened slowly, and the moment I saw who stood there, my body went completely still.For a second, my mind refused to understand what my eyes were seeing.Cynthia.She stood at the front, breathing slightly uneven like she had rushed back, her clothes carrying faint traces of dust from the road. Right beside her was her brother, his expression hard and unreadable, his presence filling the doorway like he owned the space. Behind them, more figures stepped into view—Alphas and soldiers, their eyes already locked on Karen, their stance deliberate, controlled, and ready.My chest tightened.They weren’t here by chance.They had come for him.Before I could even react, Cynthia moved.She ran forward quickly, stopping a few steps ahead of them, her voice cutting through the heavy silence. “They saw me,” she said, her words coming out fast, slightly breathless. “They followed me. I didn’t bring them here. They forced me.”Her eyes flickered toward me for just a second, an

Chapter: Chapter 189Thalasa POVThe moment we stepped inside, I paused.From the outside, the place had been nothing more than a quiet structure hidden between trees, almost too ordinary to notice, but inside… it felt different. The space was small, yes, but everything had been arranged with care. The walls were smooth, the furniture simple but well-crafted, and there was a faint warmth to the place that made it feel lived in, not abandoned. It wasn’t luxurious, but it wasn’t rough either. It was the kind of place someone had built to stay hidden without feeling like they were surviving.I walked further in, my eyes taking everything in slowly. “For a hideout,” I said, letting my fingers brush against the edge of a table, “this is actually nice.”Karen didn’t say anything, but I noticed the slight shift in his shoulders, like something in him had loosened. Cynthia, on the other hand, didn’t look impressed. Her gaze moved across every corner, sharp and alert, like she was measuring the safety of the place

Chapter: Chapter 188Thalasa POVThe ground felt cold beneath me.Too cold.My body barely responded as I tried to push myself up, but the weight pressing me down was stronger. The wolf’s breath was hot against my skin, its claws still buried deep, and every movement I made only seemed to drag the pain further through me.This was it.The thought came quietly, almost calmly, even as everything else inside me was screaming.I couldn’t win this.My fingers curled weakly against the ground, my vision blurring as the strength drained out of me. The world around me started to fade at the edges, the sounds becoming distant, like I was slipping away from it all.Then—A sharp crack split through the silence.The weight vanished.Just like that.The pressure lifted off my body, and something heavy dropped beside me with a dull thud. For a second, I couldn’t even move. My chest heaved as I forced air back into my lungs, my body shaking as I tried to understand what had just happened.Slowly, I turned my head.The

Too Late for Regret, Mr. Vale
Her husband killed her for her inheritance. Reborn three years before her death, she refuses to be the obedient, "useless" wife she once was.
For three years, Ahtisa lived as a submissive wife to Adrian Vale, enduring his coldness and his mother's bitter humiliations. She gave up her career as a police officer and her identity just to support his ambitions. But on the night of their anniversary, the illusion shattered.
She caught Adrian in a hotel room with Isabella the very girl Ahtisa had saved from the streets. Instead of showing remorse, Adrian struck her down, leaving her to bleed out on the floor while they gloated over stealing her late father’s forty-billion-dollar fortune.
As her vision faded, only one man arrived to save her: Lucien Blackwell, the ruthless billionaire she had once personally arrested because of her husband's lies. With her last breath, she vowed to make them pay.
Waking up three years in the past, the docile wife is gone.
Back in the interrogation room on the day of her greatest mistake, Ahtisa refuses to arrest Lucien. Instead, she offers him a dangerous pact: Power for revenge.
When Adrian arrives at the reading of her father's will, expecting her to blindly sign over her fortune, Ahtisa tears the contract to pieces in front of his greedy eyes.
"I won't be transferring a single dime. And I am filing for divorce."
Adrian begs for a second chance. But she is already untouchable with the city's most feared man guarding her from the shadows.

Chapter: Chapter 77The quiet hum of the server terminal inside the study felt heavier than usual, vibrating through the floorboards like a low-frequency pulse.Victor stood over the glowing desk monitor, his fingers moving across the keys with methodical precision, while the pale blue light reflected sharply against the scar across his eyebrow. Lucien remained stationed near the door, his tall frame leaning slightly against the wooden frame, arms crossed, watching the data streams with an unblinking, predatory focus.I sat in the leather chair opposite the desk, my hands resting calmly on the glass surface, feeling the cool temperature seep into my skin. The sudden discovery of Vanguard Global Partners had rewritten the board entirely. For months, we had treated Adrian as a selfish, manipulative husband who had gone rogue out of greed, and Julian Vance as an arrogant syndicate boss protecting his monopoly.Now, the architecture of our entire past began to look entirely different."The corporate regist

Chapter: Chapter 76The morning sun rose over our home port with a brilliant, clear warmth that chased away the last lingering chill of the international trip.Our private jet touched down on the local tarmac just after nine o'clock, the familiar scent of salt air and open ocean welcoming us back to the city where everything had started. Standing by the edge of the private hangar waiting to greet us were Elara and Victor, both looking rested and relieved now that the dust from the London trials had finally settled."Welcome back, Miss Jehanna," Victor said, offering a crisp, respectful nod as we stepped down the mobile stairs."It's good to be home, Victor," I said, a genuine smile touching my lips as I adjusted the bag on my shoulder."The regional port authorities called our office twice this morning," Elara chimed in, her eyes bright with excitement as she walked beside me toward the waiting car. "Every single independent terminal that used to belong to Sovereign Syndicate has officially applied for

Chapter: Chapter 75The chaos that erupted inside the grand auditorium after the ledger went public was immediate and overwhelming.Dozens of international delegates stood up from their velvet-cushioned seats at once, shouting over each other as journalists rushed down the central aisles with cameras flashing like lightning storms. The presiding tribunal chairman banged his heavy wooden gavel three times in rapid succession, trying to restore order to a room that had completely slipped out of control.On the raised mahogany stage, Julian Vance looked like a man who had just watched his entire world collapse into dust.His face was completely drained of color, his silver hair looking suddenly untidy as he stared blankly at the giant projection screen behind him. The glowing audit logs from Zurich continued to scroll down the display, showing every illegal transfer, every frozen account, and every bribe receipt he had spent decades hiding behind thick layers of corporate protection.He reached out with a

Chapter: Chapter 74The grand auditorium of the international convention center was a cavernous hall of polished glass, towering steel pillars, and tier upon tier of velvet-cushioned seats. Hundreds of international trade ministers, corporate delegates, and independent shipping executives filled the space, their low murmur of conversation echoing against the high ceiling like a restless sea.I walked through the heavy side doors with my shoulders back and my head held high, flanked closely by Lucien, Victor, and Elara.As we moved down the central aisle toward our reserved front-row seats, the ambient chatter in the hall began to taper off. Dozens of curious eyes turned to track our progress, whispering behind cupped hands. Some looked at me with open skepticism, wondering how a young foreign heiress had managed to survive a direct assault from Sovereign Syndicate. Others looked at Lucien, recognizing the dangerous, unyielding reputation of the Blackwell name walking right beside me.I didn't flinch un

Chapter: Chapter 73Wednesday afternoon brought a sudden shift in the London weather, rolling thick, bruised storm clouds over the city skyline and turning the midday light a dull, metallic grey.Inside our secure penthouse office on the river, the air felt charged with a quiet, intense focus. We weren't looking at stock charts or bank accounts anymore. Spread across the long glass conference table were printed copies of the official delegate lists, speaker schedules, and security floor plans for the International Maritime Summit scheduled for Friday morning.I stood by the window, watching the rain begin to streak across the glass in long, jagged lines. My reflection stared back at me, calm and composed, entirely different from the frightened girl I had been in my past life."The Swiss regulators just confirmed the permanent asset seizure," Elara announced, looking up from her laptop with a bright, triumphant grin. "Julian’s primary corporate accounts have officially been locked down. His secondary she

Chapter: Chapter 72Tuesday morning broke over London with a heavy, grey fog that clung tightly to the glass towers along the River Thames. The air outside was damp and biting, but inside the secure penthouse, the atmosphere was sharp, focused, and alive with quiet energy.I stood by the floor-to-ceiling glass wall, holding a cup of hot black coffee while watching the early commuter traffic crawl across the bridge below. My mind was clear, my thoughts entirely centered on the next step of our counter-attack.Across the room, Elara sat at the main glass table with her laptop open, her fingers flying across the keys as she monitored the live financial feeds out of Zurich and Frankfurt."The Swiss regulators acted fast," Elara announced, her voice bright and victorious as she spun her screen around so Victor and I could see the graphs. "Thirty minutes ago, the federal banking commission officially issued a temporary asset freeze on three major subsidiary accounts tied to Aegis Maritime. That is Julian’s pr

Chapter: Chapter 81"Selina, I don't think you should do this, okay? This is just my task alone, I don't want to drag you into this. You already have your task of being my maid, so..." I said, looking at her.She stopped what she was doing for a moment, then looked at me with the same gentle smile she always wore."No, Ma'am," she replied softly, shaking her head. "I want to join you, if you don't mind. You are my Ma'am, and wherever you are assigned to work, I should be there to assist you whenever I can."I couldn't help smiling."You really are stubborn."She laughed quietly."I've been told that before."I shook my head, unable to argue with her anymore."Okay," I said with a smile. "If you insist."Her smile widened."Thank you, Ma'am."We both moved closer to the large wooden table where baskets of fresh vegetables and herbs had already been placed. I picked up one of the baskets while Selina carried another, and together we began separating the vegetables before washing them carefully. The work wa

Chapter: Chapter 80I was still staring at the rag and brush in my hands when I suddenly heard a small laugh behind me. It wasn't loud, but it was enough to make me turn around. My eyes immediately landed on Selina, who was trying very hard to hold back her laughter. Her lips were pressed together, but the smile on her face had already betrayed her.I narrowed my eyes at her."Wait..." I said slowly. "Do you actually think this is funny?"She immediately covered her mouth."I'm sorry, Ma'am," she said, trying to stop herself from laughing. "I really don't mean to laugh."I folded my arms across my chest, still holding the rag and brush in one hand."It doesn't look like you're sorry."She finally managed to calm herself down, although the smile never left her face."I'm sorry," she repeated. "It's just that... the Alpha is actually funny."I blinked."Funny?"She nodded."Yes."I looked at the cleaning tools in my hand again before looking back at her."How exactly is this funny?"She smiled warmly."Thi

Chapter: Chapter 79"Yeah, I know about that," I said, giving a small nod, "I just wanted to be on the safer side."Selina immediately nodded in understanding."Ma'am, you are on the safer side," she assured me with a gentle smile. "I only happened to guess what was on your mind after I mentioned that the door wasn't locked. The moment I said it, I saw fear flash through your eyes, and I simply assumed you were worried about someone entering your room while you were asleep."She spoke so naturally that I couldn't even question her explanation.When I thought about it carefully, she was right.I really had reacted the moment she mentioned the unlocked door.I just hadn't realized that my expression had given everything away."Hmm..." I murmured quietly, giving a small nod.Her explanation actually made sense.If only she knew why I reacted that way.If only she knew what had happened to me just a few weeks ago, when a complete stranger suddenly appeared and tried to stab me with a knife, she would have un

Chapter: Chapter 78Selina finished folding the clothes that needed to be washed, placed them neatly inside the laundry basket, arranged the room properly, straightened the pillows, dusted the shelves one last time, then turned toward me with a respectful bow."If there is anything else you need, Your Grace, please don't hesitate to call for me," she said politely.I gave her a small nod."Alright."She smiled, bowed once more, then quietly walked out of the room, gently closing the door behind her.The room suddenly became silent again.I remained seated on the bed, my hands resting on my lap as my thoughts wandered from one thing to another. No matter how hard I tried to think about something else, my mind kept returning to the dinner table. Every conversation we had replayed itself over and over again, especially what Alpha Dramon had said about Alpha Iskander, how kind he was, how generous he was, and how everyone respected him because of the way he treated both his people and those around him.I slo

Chapter: Chapter 77Getting to my room, I gently pushed the door shut behind me and walked toward my bed. The moment I sat down on the edge of the mattress, a smile slowly stretched across my lips as everything that had happened at the dining table replayed in my mind. The conversation, the constant arguments, the way Alpha Iskander's friend laughed at us, and the strange expressions that crossed Alpha Iskander's face, everything came back one after another.The more I thought about it, the more amusing it became. The relationship between Alpha Iskander and me didn't even feel like that of a husband and wife. If anything, it felt more like a strict father constantly trying to discipline an annoying little daughter who refused to listen to anything he said. Every time I answered him, he looked like he wanted to lecture me, and every time he spoke, I found another reason to annoy him.A quiet laugh escaped my lips.To be honest, today felt... different.For the first time since I arrived here, Alpha Iskand

Chapter: Chapter 76The words slipped through my mind before I could stop them.I hate him.It wasn't something I intended to say out loud. It was simply a thought that crossed my mind as I watched Alpha Iskander sit across from me with that same cold, unreadable expression he always wore.Then, to my complete surprise, he looked up."Well, I hate you too."I blinked.My eyes widened as I stared at him.How...? How did he know what I was thinking?Had I accidentally whispered it?No, I was certain I hadn't.For a few seconds, I could only look at him in confusion, trying to figure out whether he had somehow read my expression or if he was simply making a lucky guess.Recovering from my shock, I folded my arms across my chest."Well," I replied, lifting my chin stubbornly, "I hate you more."The man sitting beside Alpha Iskander suddenly burst into laughter.He laughed so hard that he nearly choked on the drink he had just taken, forcing him to set his cup down before wiping the corner of his eyes."You t
