The billionaire’s regret : The heiress who came back with tw
BLURB
"You want me gone? Fine."
Iridessa unfastened the blazer and let it drop to his office floor. Then the skirt. Then the heels. She stood in her silk innerwear and held his stare without flinching.
"Keep the rags, Slade. I am going back to a life where I do not have to pay for someone's love with my soul."
She walked out of the building barefoot. She never looked back.
For three years, Iridessa was the invisible woman behind Wilder Tech , the architect of the empire, the wife no one acknowledged, the developer no one credited. She endured a cold contract marriage, a family that treated her like a servant, and a husband who chose to believe every lie his first love told him. She stayed until the night he raised his hand against her. Then she left with nothing but her name and a secret she did not yet know she was carrying.
Five years later, the Wilder empire is on its knees. Their investors are gone, their debts have consumed them, and their only hope is a powerful executive from Sterling Group who holds everything they have left. When the boardroom doors open, it is not a man who walks in.
It is Iridessa. Colder, sharper, and carrying five years of quiet fury. She is now the woman they can never break .
The man who chose a lie over the woman who loved him must now face everything that choice cost him. But enemies are not done with them yet and the most dangerous one has been standing closest to her all along.
Can a man who never deserved her earn the right to try again? And will she still be willing by the time he finally figures out how?

Chapter: Chapter 5 : The Silent ShadowIridessa's POVFive Years LaterThe view from the window was stunning, but I wasn't really seeing it.I was thinking about the audit report sitting closed on my desk, and the fact that after five years, it was finally done. Wilder Tech was ours. Every share, every asset, every patent that had quietly been built on the back of my work. I felt the pride rise in my chest and had to breathe through it carefully, because my makeup had taken twenty minutes and I wasn't about to ruin it before I'd even boarded the jet.I'd found out about the pregnancy only weeks after arriving in Switzerland. The shock of twins nearly undid me completely, coming on top of everything else, but somewhere in those first terrifying months, Ares and Aurora became the reason I stopped feeling sorry for myself and started building something worth leaving them.Heavy footsteps in the corridor behind me. I didn't need to turn around.Cassian crossed the office and set a leather folder on my desk before leaning again

Chapter: Chapter 4 : The Price of FreedomIridessa's POVMy heels clicked on the marble tiles of Slade's company, and a feeling of nostalgia washed over my body. I had spent countless nights in this lobby, drafting proposals, doing one thing or another just to save the company and make Slade look at me for even once in his life, but that never happened.Walking through it felt different now, and I somehow felt sad that I was about to say goodbye to the company I had poured my heart and soul into, but if I didn't do it and let my emotions win, that meant Slade would win and I didn't want that. I ignored all the eyes that were on me, because I was certain that the gossip had spread that I was the one who locked down the entire systems of the company.The elevator opened onto Slade's floor, and the first thing I saw was Malani perched on the edge of his desk with her arms looped around his neck, murmuring something close to his ear. But Slade wasn't listening, which was the first time I had ever seen him ignoring her, and even i

Chapter: The Empty ThroneIridessa’s POVThe hospital room was deathly quiet, the only sound being the rhythmic hum of a heart monitor and the soft rustle of expensive suit fabric as my older brother, Cassian, paced the length of the private suite.I watched him from the bed, feeling the throbbing ache in my cheek where Slade had struck me, but the physical pain was nothing compared to the cold, dead weight in my stomach when I thought about those three years of wasted effort.My chest felt tight, each breath catching against a sharp ache in my ribs that reminded me of how easily my life had been broken by the people I tried to protect.Why did I let myself become so small for a man who didn’t even care if I was breathing?Why did I think my silence would ever buy their respect?Cassian finally stopped and looked at me, his face a mask of barely controlled fury that usually made world-class CEOs tremble. He reached out to gently touch the bruising on my jaw with a hand that was shaking from rage.“I told you t

Chapter: Chapter 2 : The final strawIridessaI sat on the bed, the sheets pulled to my chest, and I couldn't stop the tears. I didn't even realize I had started crying. What wrong did I do by loving my own husband? Why was my life like this?Everything that had just happened to me began replaying in my head over and over again. It felt like somebody had stabbed me directly in the heart.I got out of bed and got into my clothes. Since he wanted me to go so badly, that was exactly what I was going to do because I was done with all this bullshit. I loved him, and this was what I got in return.I didn't know why I stayed anyway... Well, that was a horrible lie because every single time he hurt me, I kept convincing myself that he was going to change. He would eventually become the man I fell in love with again. But believing that wasn't going to help me out of this mess, and I was just realizing that now.I pulled out the small duffel bag I had brought the day he asked me to move in with him. It was dusty and worn out, but

Chapter: Chapter 1 : The broken vowIridessa"You got this," I said to my reflection for the first time, but I still wasn't moving from the mirror. I was completely freaked out, and I didn't want to go back to the party anymore. I just wanted everybody to leave, and I would go back to my miserable fucking life.The moment I stepped out of the bathroom, my phone buzzed, scaring the living daylights out of me. How was it possible that my own phone scared me? Well, I guess if you were in my shoes, you would feel exactly how I did.I pulled my phone out of my purse, and it was another message from the same person that had been tormenting me for the past couple of hours. No name. The number was not from anybody I knew. When I opened the message, my heart sank. This wasn't an unusual feeling. This was already something I knew, but every single time I was reminded of it, it killed me.It was a picture of my husband with his mistress. I zoomed into the picture, and I didn't bother spending a minute looking at her. I stared at h

THE CURSED LUNA WHO RETURNED WITH TWINS
Branded a cursed wolf, Freya has lived in the shadows of a crime she didn't commit, the fire that killed the Alpha's Luna and her own parents. Powerless, scorned, and unable to shift, she's spent years silenced by a secret even she doesn't know.
But when her reluctant appearance at a Pack ball leads her into the arms of Dante, the Alpha's heir and son of the very woman she's accused of killing, fate binds them in a way neither can escape. Forced into marriage, rejected by the pack, and betrayed once more, Freya vanishes, even believed to be dead… until fate brings them face to face again.
Now she's no longer the quiet girl who once begged to be left alone. She's a feared attorney, a hidden mother of twins… and something far more dangerous than a wolf. What happens when Dante suddenly wants a second chance? What will she do when darkness tries to break down the walls she built.

Chapter: Chapter 24 : THE PERFECT LIEFreya’s POVI noticed the change in Dante’s body language the moment his uncle asked him who he had been spending his nights with. His shoulders stiffened, his jaw tightened, and for a brief second the confidence he’d walked into the room with seemed to slip. My heart skipped a beat. Maybe my instincts had been right all along. And if they were, then who had he been spending those nights with?“Uncle, what are you saying?” Dante forced out a small laugh, rubbing the back of his neck. “Of course I don’t spend my time with anybody. And about those meetings — what I meant is that I do have meetings with myself. Yeah, with myself. Or don’t I deserve to relax a little and think by myself?”“Oh, is that it?” his uncle asked, his expression unreadable.“Yes, Uncle,” Dante said, nodding quickly. “And not everything anybody tells you, you should believe.”“Your wife is not just anybody, Dante.” His uncle’s voice turned firm. “Watch your tongue.”A smile almost escaped my lips. I never imagined

Chapter: Chapter 23 : The Guard DownDante’s POV“Who does Freya think she is,” Amanda murmured against my shoulder, “suspecting you? Questioning you?”“Don’t mind her, my love.” I ran my fingers through her hair, letting the words come easy, the way they always did with her. “She thinks being Luna makes her something to me. It doesn’t. She’s nothing. An object I needed to become Alpha — that’s all she’ll ever be. My heart has never belonged to her. It belongs to you, Amanda. Only you.”She moved closer, and the way she smelled, the way she moved against me — I couldn’t put it into words. Everything about her felt effortless. Kind, sharp, patient, in ways Freya had never managed to be. If anyone had to choose between them, honestly, who wouldn’t choose Amanda?She climbed onto my lap, her fingers trailing slowly from my stomach up toward my neck, and every inch her hand traveled sent something sharp and hungry through me. By the time she reached my throat, she’d already bent down to kiss me.Yes — I was having an affair

Chapter: Chapter 22 : The Two-Minute MeetingFreya’s POVHe left again.He was always busy.Maybe… too busy for me.I remained seated at the dining table long after he had walked away, staring at the half-empty glass in front of me without really seeing it.The room suddenly felt too quiet.Too empty.Too cold.I kept replaying our conversation in my head, searching for something… anything… that could convince me he had been telling the truth.Nothing.Every answer he gave only created another question.I let out a slow breath.It wasn’t that I wanted this marriage.It wasn’t even that I had dreamed of marrying Alpha Dante.But he was my mate.My husband.The first man to ever touch me.The first man to take my innocence.Whether I wanted to admit it or not… he mattered.And somehow, without realizing it, I had started caring about where he went… who he spent his time with… and why he always seemed to have everything except time for me.I closed my eyes.No…Please don’t let me be falling for him.That would only make everything

Chapter: A Gift that meant nothingFreya’s POVThey said life would get easier once you faced your challenges. I never believed that, and I was right not to. If anything, everything had only gotten harder — especially my marriage, if I could even still call it that.I sat there feeling hollowed out while Amanda kept talking, each word landing like something I couldn’t quite let myself absorb.“I don’t know,” she said carefully, watching my face. “But something feels off. That necklace looks fake — like a replica. And I think I’ve seen it on another woman before.”“What?” The word slipped out before I could stop it. I shook my head immediately. “No. Dante would never do that. He wouldn’t lie to me. He wouldn’t give me a replica — and definitely not one another woman had already worn.” I laughed, though it came out shaky. “That’s impossible.”Amanda didn’t push back. She just shrugged. “Alright. I’m only telling you what I saw.”“I understand,” I said, forcing a smile even as my heart started racing. “And I appreciate yo

Chapter: Chapter 20: A Gift That Was Never HERSFreya’s POVThey say life will get easier as you face your challenges, but no… I don’t think so.Life doesn’t get easier. It gets harder.And my love life… I don’t even know what to call it anymore.But I think it is messed up.I sat down looking like a dead skull while Amanda was saying something I couldn’t even take in… something I couldn’t even imagine.“I don’t know, but I feel it is somehow… it is somehow because the necklace looks fake. Like it looks like a replica. And I think I have seen it before on another person’s neck.”“What?” I said immediately.Dante will never do that.Yeah, he will not lie and also give me a replica necklace, not to talk of giving me a necklace that someone has worn before. Never. That is impossible.“Alright, I understand. I am just saying what I know and what I see,” she replied.“I get it, and you are doing it for me and I appreciate it,” I said.Then I continued, forcing calm into my voice.“But maybe you are not seeing it clearly… or maybe it has

Chapter: Chapter 19 : A Gift That Meant NothingFreya’s POVI slept alone again, and I woke up alone again.Nothing changed.Nothing at all.Just like yesterday.But it was different… at least he informed me.He told me where he was going and why.A man that explains is very important.I read that in a book too.And the best of all…He gave me a necklace and a guard to look over me.I went to my shelf and picked up the box of the necklace.I opened it and touched it again while smiling.It is the first time someone who is not my blood has given me a gift.“Ma’am, your bath is ready, ma.”“Alright.”I went to bathe, dressed up, and made sure I didn’t forget the necklace.“Ma’am, the necklace is fine, ma,” my maid noticed.“Thank you. My husband gave it to me,” I said with a small smile.“Ma’am, you are invited to Mrs. Hart’s birthday party.”“Mrs. Hart?” I repeated.“Yes, ma. She is one of the leading women council members. You should go, ma.”“Okay. Prepare a gift.”I have to be on the safer side with people.I need to gain people’
