BETRAYED BY MY FIANCE; REBORN AS HIS OBSESSION
Arora Vance believed she had found the man she would spend the rest of her life with. She trusted Damian Kade with her heart, her future, and the company her late father left behind. But the man she loved had been lying to her all along, after stealing her inheritance with his secret wife, Ashley. Damian pushed Arora into the ocean and left her to die.
But Arora survived.
Rescued by the enigmatic billionaire Hayden Vale, she disappears from the world and returns months later under a new identity, Lyra Moretti. She is no longer the naive woman Damian betrayed; she is determined to reclaim her father's legacy and make those who destroyed her pay for it.
As Damian becomes obsessed with the mysterious woman, he cannot recognize her, and Ashley fights to protect the life she stole. While dangerous secrets begin to surface with every step closer to revenge, Lyra discovers that the conspiracy against her family runs far deeper than she ever imagined.
Will she expose the truth and reclaim everything she lost, or will her enemies finish what they started?

Chapter: CHAPTER 74: THE NAME SHE COULDN'T FORGETAshley couldn't stop thinking about the name: Arora Vance.It had appeared beneath a protective authorisation that was still active six years after Richard Vance's death. She searched the record more times that night, but the result never changed. Primary subject: Arora Vance. Dead. At least, that was what the world believed.Ashley closed the file and leaned back in her chair. There was something about Lyra that bothered her. Not the way Damian looked at her, and not even the strange gaps in her history. It was the timing. Lyra had appeared in business circles months after Arora's disappearance, carrying enormous financial resources and almost no verifiable history. Then she had dismantled Damian's empire with a precision that suggested she understood exactly where its weaknesses were.Ashley opened Lyra's photograph from the gala and studied her face. There were differences, enough to dismiss the idea, but not enough to forget it. She picked up her phone and called Damian. He answer

Chapter: CHAPTER 73: THE SECRET BETWEEN THEMLyra barely slept. Richard's letter remained on the bedside table, folded exactly as she had left it. She had read it many times, and the words felt like a warning. Someone had been assigned to protect her, someone her father trusted, and someone she had never known existed. By morning, she had decided to find that person.Hayden was already awake when she entered the study. He looked up from his laptop. “You're already up.”“I couldn't sleep.” His expression softened. “Because of the letter?”Lyra nodded and placed the folded page on the desk between them. “I want to know who he was talking about.”Hayden's fingers paused for a fraction of a second, but Lyra caught it. “You know something.”“I know your father had people he trusted.”“That isn't what I asked.” She crossed her arms. “Then answer me.”Hayden remained silent. The silence confirmed everything. “You do know,” she said, her expression shifting. Hayden remained silent for a moment. “I know there were arrangements made to p

Chapter: CHAPTER 72: THE FILE THAT DISAPPEAREDLyra hadn't slept well. The words from the security report kept returning to her:UNKNOWN INTERNAL AUTHORIZATION.Someone had stopped the breach. It wasn’t Damian, Ashley, or anyone from her current security team.The following morning, Lyra sat behind her desk, staring at the screen while Hayden stood by the window.“Run it again,” she said.“I already did.”“Run it again.”Hayden turned toward her. “Lyra.”“I know what you're going to say, he said. “That you're looking for something because you don't like the answer?”She gave him a faint smile. “Exactly.”He walked over and placed the report on the desk. “The authorisation wasn't created yesterday. It existed in the system before your company was registered.”Lyra's expression changed. “What?”“That's what I found. The credential is very old.”“How old?”“Six years.”Lyra stared at him. Six years. Her life had changed six years ago. Everything had changed. She reached for the report. “Who had access?”“That part is missing.”“Missi

Chapter: CHAPTER 71: THE QUESTIONS LEFT BEHINDThe house fell silent after Damian and Ashley left. Lyra remained at the dining table, staring at the empty chairs across from her. She had expected questions, but the way Ashley spoke about her father's name, Richard Vance, lingered in the air.Hayden came around the table and stopped beside her. “You're thinking about him.”Lyra looked up. “My father.”Hayden pulled out the chair and sat down. “Ashley wasn't asking about you anymore.”“No,” Lyra lowered her gaze. “She was asking about him.”For a moment, neither spoke. Lyra had spent years rebuilding herself around the pain of losing Richard, learning to live with unanswered questions and memories she thought she had buried. But tonight, they had reopened them.“She found something,” Lyra said quietly. “I saw her reaction when she mentioned my father's name. She wasn't guessing.”Hayden reached for her hand. “Then we'll find out what it is.”Lyra looked at him. “We?”He gave her a small smile. “You don't have to investigate everythi

Chapter: CHAPTER 70: THE TABLE SHE SETAt exactly eight o'clock, the doorbell rang.Lyra didn't move immediately. She stood at the far end of the dining room, one hand resting lightly against the back of her chair. Through the tall windows, the city glowed beneath the night sky, distant lights reflecting across the glass.Behind her, Hayden checked his watch.“They're on time.”“They want answers,” Lyra said calmly. “People looking for answers rarely arrive late.”A second later, the door opened. The housekeeper stepped aside.Damian entered first, dressed in a black suit that fit him perfectly. Ashley followed beside him, her expression composed, though her eyes immediately moved across the room, taking in every detail.Then Damian's gaze found Lyra. For a moment, neither of them spoke. Lyra had expected him to look curious. She hadn't expected the way his eyes lingered.“You came,” she said.Damian's mouth curved slightly. “You invited me.”“Ashley too.”Ashley gave her a polite smile. “You made it very clear that both o

Chapter: CHAPTER 69: BEFORE THEY ARRIVEBy the next morning, Lyra had already made up her mind. The dinner would take place at her private residence; no hotel, no restaurant, and no neutral territory. If Damian and Ashley wanted answers, they had to come through her.She stood at the large windows of her study, looking over the quiet gardens while Hayden reviewed the guest arrangements behind her.“You're really doing this,” he said.Lyra turned around. “I invited them, didn't I?”“You did.”“And?”“And I'm still deciding whether you're brave or reckless.”She smiled faintly. “Can't I be both?”“Unfortunately, yes.” He set his tablet down and walked toward her. “You know they'll come prepared.”“I expect nothing less.”“Questions? Manipulation?”“Definitely.”“And they will attempt to provoke you?”Lyra's smile faded. “Almost certainly.”Hayden stopped right in front of her. “And what will you do?”“Nothing.”He raised an eyebrow. “Nothing?”“I'll let them talk.” She stepped a little closer. “I've spent months making Damian
