THE HEIRESS'S REBIRTH:REBORN AS A THORN IN MY HUSBAND'S PATH
They named me Rose, but they forgot one thing: every rose comes with thorns. And mine are finally sharp enough to draw blood.
In my past life, I was the fool who mistook a snake for a husband and a vulture for a best friend. I let them poison my father, steal my inheritance, and lock me away in a damp basement to rot while I was six months pregnant.
I died in the dark, hungry and broken, watching the two people I trusted most wear my jewels and laugh at my misery.
But death gave me a gift I didn't deserve, a second chance.
I woke up back in 2023, standing at my father’s funeral with the taste of betrayal still fresh on my tongue.
The world thinks I am the same grieving, " soft rich girl they can drug into submission. They think I am weak. They think I am an easy target. But they are wrong.
This time, I am not just defending my father’s legacy, I am burning their world to the ground. From the funeral podium to the high-stakes boardrooms, I am reclaiming my power piece by piece.
But as I change my destiny, my enemies are evolving too. Richard's temper is getting more violent, and a new, psychotic player is turning my game of revenge into a bloodbath.
With the mysterious and powerful Derek Hamilton watching from the shadows, I have to decide: how far am I willing to go for revenge? Can I truly win and find a happy life, or will the thorns I have grown to protect myself eventually pierce my own heart?

Chapter: The Predator In The PenthouseDerek’s POVThe private hangar smelled of jet fuel and the kind of heavy, humid heat that only precedes a storm. I stood on the asphalt, my hands shoved deep into the pockets of my charcoal trousers, watching the Gulfstream G650 taxi toward the terminal. The silver Rolls Royces behind me idled like a pack of metal sharks, their exhausts puffing white plumes into the morning air.I adjusted my tie, the silk feeling like a garrote. My cold mask was locked so tight my jaw ached.The stairs lowered, and there she was. Vanessa Romanov didn’t just walk, she colonized the space around her. She was draped in a cream colored power suit that screamed of old money and new blood. Her platinum hair was pulled back into a bun so tight it looked painful, highlighting the predatory sharpness of her cheekbones.She was the daughter of the Prime Minister, the man currently clawing his way toward a governorship. The man who had used a single phone call to pull Richard out of prison once, before he met h

Chapter: Karmic ReversalRose’s POVThe morning sun hit the library windows with a brightness that felt like an insult. I stood there, clutching a cold cup of coffee, staring down at that blindingly white gravel driveway. Eight days. Eight days of being a prisoner in a house that was supposed to be mine.I touched my eyes. They were dry, gritty, and heavy. I had spent the entire night curled into a ball on the floor behind my bedroom door, listening to the silence of the hallway after Derek left. I had cried until my throat was raw and my chest felt like a hollowed-out tree. But as the sun crawled over the horizon, something shifted inside me. The well was dry. I had no more tears left to shed for Derek Hamilton.The door clicked open behind me. I didn't flinch. In this house, someone was always watching."Rose?"I turned. Michelle was standing there, her usual vibrant energy dampened. Her makeup was minimal, and her eyes were soft with a pity that made me want to scream and hug her at the same time. She walk

Chapter: The Saints ShadowDerek’s POVThe wood of the door was cold against my forehead, a bitter contrast to the heat radiating from the room behind it. I stood in the darkened hallway of Rose’s mansion, my eyes closed, my hand hovering inches from the handle. I didn't turn it. I couldn't.On the other side, the sound of her sobbing was a jagged blade, flaying me open inch by inch. Every hiccup, every muffled gasp into her pillow, felt like a physical blow to my chest. I wanted to kick the door down. I wanted to gather her into my arms and tell her the whole truth. I wanted to tell her that I loved her so much it felt like my ribs were cracking under the weight of it.But if I opened that door, I was signing her death warrant.“Stop giving me hope,” she had screamed at me. “Leave me alone!”I stood there for what felt like hours, a ghost in a tailored suit, listening to the woman I would die for break into a thousand pieces because of me. I had to let her hate me. If she hated me, she might stay away. If she

Chapter: Another PrisonRose’s POVThe silence in the mansion didn't feel like peace anymore. It felt like a held breath.It had been seven days since the gravel in the driveway had been stained red, and seven days since I had not stepped a single foot past the iron gates.Everywhere I looked, there were eyes. New cameras hummed with a low, electronic buzz in the corners of the ceiling, and Derek’s team stood in the hallways like suit clad statues. They didn't blink. They didn't speak. They just watched.I stood at the floor to ceiling window in the library, my forehead pressed against the cool glass. Outside, the driveway looked pristine. Derek had ordered the blood soaked gravel replaced within hours of the shooting. Now, it was a blinding, perfect white. But every time I closed my eyes, I could still see the dark, jagged spread of Marcus’s blood blooming across the stones.I felt like a ghost haunting my own life. I was safe, supposedly. But looking at the perimeter fence topped with razor wire, I realize

Chapter: The Ghost In The PenthouseVanessa’s POVThe penthouse smelled like expensive bourbon and the kind of cold, metallic danger that made the hair on my arms stand up. He didn’t wait for the door to click shut. He didn’t wait for the staff to clear the room. He didn’t even look at me with anything resembling affection.He just grabbed me.His hands were rough, catching in the silk of my dress as he hauled me toward him. Our mouths crashed together, not a kiss, but a collision. It was frantic and jagged, the kind of hunger that felt more like a fight than a romance. I could hear the sharp, synchronized intake of breath from the maids in the living room. They scrambled, their eyes glued to the floor, pulling the heavy mahogany doors shut as the guards followed them out in a blurred rush of black suits. They knew the new rules of this house, when Richard was in a mood, you vanished, or you became collateral damage.He didn't lead me to the bedroom. He didn't even slow down. He slammed me back against the heavy execut

Chapter: The Elders SanctuaryPOV: Mr. HamiltonThe study was a cathedral of silence, a place where the scent of old parchment and expensive frankincense hung heavy in the air. I sat behind my mahogany desk, the light from the stained-glass lamp casting long, distorted shadows across the silver cross pinned to my lapel. Everything in this room was designed to reflect the purity of my station. I was a High Elder of the Cathedral, a pillar of the community, a man who walked a path of righteousness.The heavy oak door opened with a respectful creak. My lead guard stepped inside, his head bowed low enough that he was staring at his own polished shoes."Sir," he murmured, "Mr. Romanov is here to see you."A slow, serene smile touched my lips. I adjusted the cuffs of my white shirt, ensuring not a single wrinkle marred the fabric. "Well, don't keep an old friend waiting. Let him in."Vadim Romanov burst into the room with the kind of loud, boisterous energy that usually irritated me, but today, I welcomed the noise. He

Chapter: A stalker?Danny's POV The villa was… a lot. I mean it was massive. We drove through these towering iron gates, the tires crunching on gravel, and then there it was all glass, steel, and lights blinking against the night sky. It looked like the kind of place they had film one of those moody dramas where nobody ever actually laughs.“Does this house even belong to you?” I asked, my voice sounding way too small in the silence. I was still shivering a little from the rain, and my head was spinning.Chadwick didn't even look at me. He just killed the engine. “Well, then whose is it?” He pushed his door open. “Go get changed. Your room is upstairs, the first door on the right.”I didn't argue. I just headed up the staircase, my hand trailing along the smooth banister. Everything felt expensive. It was too quiet.I pushed the first door open and stopped dead.It was a bedroom, sure, but it was my new bedroom maybe. I walked over to the wardrobe, my heart doing this weird, erratic tap dance against m

Chapter: Bruised SpiritChadwicks POV The rain in this city doesn't wash anything away. It just turns the grime into a slick, black sludge. I had been driving for hours, my knuckles aching against the steering wheel, my eyes scanning every goddamn shadow. My phone was a dead weight in my pocket, but I had checked it every thirty seconds. Nothing. No word from Erica, no word from his friends, no word from the kid.My gut was a knot of pure, unadulterated acid. Sarah was back at the house, probably nursing her bruised ego, but I didn't care about her. I didn't care about the scandal. I didn't care about anything except the fact that Danny was out there, somewhere in the dark, caught in a storm he wasn't built to survive. The kid caught a cold if the wind blew the wrong way. If he was out in this…I pulled the car over, not because I had a lead, but because I couldn't keep driving blindly. I stepped out into the downpour. The water hit me like gravel, freezing and unforgiving. I ducked into a dive bar on t

Chapter: Sexy BastardChadwick's POVI caught her wrist mid air. It felt brittle, fragile nothing like the iron willed woman she pretended to be. I twisted, just a fraction, and her eyes widened."Don't you dare," I whispered. My voice wasn't loud, but it was lethal. It was the sound of a man who had finally decided the cost of keeping secrets was too high. "Don't you dare hit that boy's face."She pulled back, her chest heaving, her face a blotchy, ugly mask of shock. She looked at me, then at Danny, then back to me, her breath hitching. "You... you don't know what he is. You don't know what's happening in this house. He is sick, Chadwick! He is gay. He wants to run off to Paris to be with men!"I stared at her. A dark, jagged bubble of laughter clawed its way up my throat. It was so absurd, so perfectly, wonderfully pathetic, that I couldn't stop it. I let it out, a low, harsh sound that bounced off the torn canvases littering the floor.Danny looked at me like I had lost my mind. I didn't blame him. I

Chapter: I am not gayDanny's POV The cafe on 5th floor was loud, but it sounded like background noise a hum of people living lives that didn't feel like a slow motion. Erica sat across from me, her sharp nails tapping on the marble table. She looked like she knew something I didn't, her eyes scanning my face with that predatory, bored look that usually meant my life was about to get complicated. "You look like shit, Danny," she said, blunt as a blade. I leaned back, my iced coffee sweating onto the table. "Thanks. Good to see you too." "I saw Noah," she said, dropping the bomb without even looking at me. "He is loosing it. He wants you, Danny. But that’s not why I am here." She pulled out a heavy, cream colored envelope and slid it toward me. "An art competition, hosting in Paris. Full funding, studio space, the works, which is perfect for you. If you win the final contest in Paris, you are made for life." I stared at the envelope. My heart jumped, that familiar, sharp ache of hope that usually en

Chapter: One Way Ticket To His HeartNoah's POV The suite was a tomb. A ridiculously expensive, marble floored tomb. I had been pacing for three hours, my shoes clicking against the stone until I felt like I was losing my damn mind. Erica was sprawled on the velvet sofa, sipping her drink, watching me like I was some pathetic animal in a zoo exhibit. I didn't care, I couldn't care. "I need him, Erica," I spat out, stopping dead to look at her. "Things were going damn well, until that psycho Gabriel came between us." "You are acting childish Noah," she said, her voice dripping with that bored, jagged edge I hated. "Just call him again. This time he could pick up." "I can't just call him again!" I hissed, the memory of Hawaii hitting me like a physical punch to the gut. My stomach did that familiar, sick roll. I shut my eyes, and I was back in his step father's Villa. It was quiet. Too quiet. I had been alone, trying to drown out the noise in my head, when the knock came. I thought it was Danny. I thought God, I don

Chapter: Is he in love with me or what?Danny's POV The room was black, save for the sliver of moonlight cutting across the floorboards. I was dead to the world, buried under the duvet, until the mattress dipped.It wasn't a subtle movement. It was a heavy, deliberate shift of weight that knocked the air right out of my lungs. I bolted upright, my heart slamming against my ribs like a trapped bird, and fumbled for the bedside lamp.The click of the switch felt deafening. A silhouette stood over me. Tall. Imposing. The smell hit me before I could even process the shape, that sharp, expensive, familiar mix of cedarwood and cold skin.Chadwick."Shh," he breathed, the sound barely a ripple in the dark.He didn't explain. He didn't ask. He just moved, closing the distance between us in a single, fluid motion. He climbed onto the bed, his weight pinning me down before I could even find my voice. He caught my wrists, pinning my arms against the pillows, and for a second, I felt like prey."What are you....." I started, but my vo
