Chapter: Chapter 28Selene reached Alpha Marcus's chambers with Hannah's warning still lingering in her mind. She paused outside the door before knocking.“Come in.”Selene opened the door. The moment she stepped inside, she stopped. Alaric was there with Alpha Marcus.She hadn't expected to see him. Alaric glanced at her, but before either of them could speak, Marcus looked toward him.“Alaric, leave us.”Alaric nodded and walked past Selene without saying anything. The door closed behind him.Selene turned toward Marcus. “You sent for me?”“Yes.” Marcus gestured toward the chair opposite him. “Sit.”Selene sat down, watching him carefully. Marcus remained quiet for a moment before speaking. “First, I owe you an apology.”Selene looked surprised. “For what?”“For what happened today.” He sighed. “You came to me because you wanted my help making the wedding happen sooner. Instead, everything became even more complicated.”Selene's expression softened. “It's okay, Father. I'm not angry anymore.”Marcus st

Chapter: Chapter 27“It was only a kiss,” she muttered to herself before walking back to the bed. “If she wants to tell Father, let her.”She wasn't going to allow the maid to frighten her. Whatever happened between her and Darius had been a single moment, and she could deal with it if the secret ever came out.Then she remembered something else the maid had said.Elias loved Kael.Her expression changed. She had noticed the strange way Elias looked at Kael before, but she had never imagined there was anything more behind it. Now she needed to know whether the maid had been telling the truth.She found Elias later in one of the quieter corridors of the palace. “Elias.”He turned toward her. “Selene?”She walked closer, studying his face. “I want to ask you something. Do you love Kael?”Elias froze. The question was so unexpected that for a moment, he couldn't find an answer. He quickly looked away.“No.”The denial came too quickly. Selene noticed immediately. “You're lying.”“I'm not.”“You couldn't eve

Chapter: Chapter 26The door clicked shut behind Kael, and the silence he left behind felt warm. Selene stayed where she was, her eyes fixed on the polished wood as though he might walk back through it. Slowly, a smile pulled at the corners of her mouth. She lifted her fingers to her lips and let herself remember: the heat of his hands, the unsteady breath before he leaned in, the way the whole world had narrowed to the space between them. He had said he loved her. And when she had dared him to prove it, he kissed her and didn't hesitated or looked away. He had simply done it, as if he had been waiting for permission all along. For the first time in days, the knot in her chest loosened. The plans, the lies, the constant fear of one wrong word undoing everything had all pressed on her until she forgot what it felt like to breathe freely. Now, sitting on the edge of the bed with the silk coverlet cool beneath her palms, she allowed herself to believe that things might actually work out. She was still

Chapter: Chapter 25"Enough." Alpha Marcus's voice silenced the room. "Stop arguing and sit down. We are here to settle matters, not to create more problems."Selene said nothing. She returned to her seat, and the others followed one by one.The meeting continued, and this time everyone kept their emotions in check. They discussed the delayed wedding, the alliance between the two families, and the matters still unresolved between the packs. The words were careful and the tone was measured, but the tension underneath had not gone anywhere.After some time, Marcus brought the meeting to an end. "We will continue this another day. For now, everyone should return to their various home."Chairs scraped back as the room rose to its feet. Kael was nearly at the door when Selene caught his arm."Come with me."She led him down the hallway and into one of the empty rooms. When the door closed behind them, she turned to face him."Why did you do that?"Kael's brows drew together. "I should be asking you the same t

Chapter: Chapter 24The next morning, the palace was unusually crowded. Servants moved quickly through the halls, preparing the great meeting chamber while guards stood at every entrance. No one had been told exactly why they had been summoned.All they knew was that Alpha Marcus, Elias's father, had ordered everyone to come to the palace. By midmorning, the great hall was filled.Alpha Darius arrived first with Kael. Selene followed shortly afterward, accompanied by members of her family.Liana was already there. So was Alaric. And then Elias entered. The moment Kael saw him, his steps slowed. Their eyes met across the crowded hall.Neither spoke.The conversation from the previous day remained between them like an invisible wall. Elias looked as though he wanted to approach him.Kael looked away. He wasn't ready. Not yet.Selene noticed the exchange from across the room. Her attention shifted briefly toward Darius.The memory of the previous night's dream flashed through her mind. She immediately looke

Chapter: Chapter 23“Father… I'm sorry.” Her face turned pale.Darius stood frozen, equally stunned by what had just happened.“It was an accident,” Selene said quickly, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. “I didn't mean to…”“I know,” Darius said quietly. Selene couldn't bring herself to look at him. She hurried toward the door, desperate to leave the room before the embarrassment became unbearable.But neither of them noticed the figure standing in the hallway.A maid had stopped outside the study. She had come to inform Alpha Darius that his tea was ready, but the moment she saw Selene pull away from him, she froze.Her eyes widened. She had seen the kiss.Before either Selene or Darius could notice her, the maid quickly stepped backward and disappeared down the corridor.Inside the study, Selene finally opened the door.“I'll go now,” she whispered.Darius nodded. Selene walked away without looking back. She kept her head lowered as she moved through the hallway, still mortified by what had

Dead to My husband
My husband took everything away from me.
I trusted him completely — until I learned he was sleeping with my worst enemy, Vivian, and draining my fortune into her hands. I filed for divorce, but he fought to keep me trapped. The day it was finally finalized, I was nearly killed in a staged accident. Everyone believed I died.
I didn't.
With my best friend's help, my death was faked and I vanished to heal in secret. Weeks later, I woke up to discover my husband had married Vivian on the day of my funeral — moving her and their child into my home. He have taken all that I worked hard to get.
I can't come back as myself. So I changed my face, became a maid, and returned to the house that was once mine — to reclaim everything he stole.
Posing as nothing more than hired help, I start uncovering secrets no one meant for me to find — hidden conversations, buried lies, and proof that my "accident" was no accident at all. Someone helped my husband try to kill me, and I intend to find out who.
Now, invisible in my own home, I have to expose every secret before they realize the maid they walk past every day is the wife they thought was dead.

Chapter: Chapter 18When Mason said Sophia was his favorite person in the world, I didn't know what to say. I stared at him for a moment, trying to understand how a five-year-old boy from this house could possibly know my best friend. “Can you describe her to me?” I asked carefully. Mason nodded. “She is very beautiful. She has long black hair, brown eyes, and she always wears a small gold necklace. She also has a little mark here.” He pointed to the side of his face. My heart skipped. “What kind of mark?” “A small one near her cheek.” I stopped breathing for a second. There was no doubt anymore. It was Sophia. My Sophia. I knew every detail he had just described. Her long black hair, her brown eyes, the little gold necklace she almost never took off, and the tiny mark near her cheek. I looked at Mason, completely confused. “How do you know her?” “She comes to see me and mom.” My fingers tightened around the pen. “Here?” He nodded. “She brings me things and talks to me. She's nice.” I

Chapter: Chapter 17The moment Vivian disappeared upstairs, I rushed to my room, closed the door behind me, and immediately called Sophia. She answered after a few rings. “What happened?”“I need your help again. It’s about the cameras.”“What about them?”“Xavier noticed one of them. I don't know how much he suspects, but if he starts looking around the house, he could discover the others. Is there any way they can be replaced?”Sophia was quiet for a moment before answering. “Yes, but everyone needs to leave the house first. We can't replace them while people are moving around. It would be too risky.”I sat on the edge of my bed, thinking about Adrian, Vivian, Mason, and everyone else who could be in the house. Getting all of them out at the same time wouldn't be easy.“I don't know how I'm going to make that happen,” I admitted.“You don't have to,” Sophia replied. “Mia, you can still back down from this maid disguise. File for a divorce and leave.”My jaw tightened. “If that was possible, I would hav

Chapter: Chapter 16I froze too. For a second, I couldn't believe what I had just seen. The driver immediately stepped back. "I'm sorry, sir." Adrian cleared his throat. "It's fine." I quickly lowered my head and pretended I hadn't noticed anything. I picked up one of the shopping bags. "Welcome home, sir." Adrian glanced at me. "Thank you." I kept my eyes on the bag. I wasn't going to laugh. I had seen absolutely nothing. Mason suddenly came running back. "Dad, are you coming?" "Yes." Adrian picked up Mason's bag and followed him inside. The driver hurried after them, looking extremely embarrassed. I pressed my lips together to stop myself from smiling. A few minutes later, Adrian took Mason upstairs. I returned to my cleaning. Then I heard footsteps coming from the upper floor. Adrian was walking toward the bedroom. He reached the door and was about to open it when it suddenly opened from the inside. Vivian stepped out. Xavier followed behind her. Adrian stopped. His eyes moved from Vivian

Chapter: Chapter 15I was still standing at the doorway, staring at the door in front of me. My stepmother. I hadn't seen her in eight years. Eight years since she had been forced out of the Sterling mansion after my father's death. And now she came here. I couldn't understand how she gained the right to come back here. More importantly, I couldn't understand why Vivian had called her Mom. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice someone walking up behind me. "Mia?" I didn't respond. "Mia?" I blinked when I heard my name again. I turned around and found Xavier standing behind me, staring at me with a confused expression. He looked at me, then at the living room, then back at me. "Are you planning to become part of the doorway, or are you actually going to move?" I frowned. "What?" He waved his hand in front of my face. "I've been standing here talking to you, but you're looking at that room like you've just seen a ghost." I quickly pulled myself together. "I'm fine."

She met him on an ordinary afternoon.Victoria had been working at a small event company at the time, helping organize a private charity dinner for one of the city's wealthiest families. She was carrying a tray of glasses through the crowded hall when someone suddenly stepped in front of her.She stopped just in time. "I'm sorry," she said quickly.The man looked at her.
