Masuk“Two weeks. That’s how long it took my husband to ruin everything.” Kennedie Peterson thought she had it all, married to her childhood sweetheart, fresh off a dreamy honeymoon, and ready to start a new chapter. But her fairytale crumbles when she walks in on her new husband tangled in the sheets with her best friend. Betrayal slices deeper than heartbreak, and suddenly, the life she thought was hers vanishes overnight. Humiliated and furious, Kennedie doesn’t fall apart, she plots revenge. Enter Desmond Knight is a ruthless billionaire, her late father’s former protégé, and a man who owes her family more than he’ll admit. Cold, calculating, and dangerously magnetic, Desmond offers her the perfect opportunity for payback. She’ll be his, at least on paper. A fake relationship, a strategic alliance... and maybe, just maybe, a way to take back her power. But revenge is a treacherous game. As Desmond pulls her deeper into his world, one filled with corporate warfare, family secrets, and seductive tension. Kennedie realizes she might have traded one dangerous man for another. Lines blur. Hearts race. And when everything starts to feel real, she’s left wondering: In a world built on lies, betrayal, and twisted loyalty... Is love just another illusion? Or the ultimate revenge?

Before she could fall to the ground, I was back in my human form and I had her in my arms, eyes wide with panic.I tapped her face gently “Princess, wake up- please baby open your eyes.”It was only a few seconds, but it felt like a lifetime, and with each that passed I was slowly losing my sanity. And just when it felt like I was about to snap, she finally opened her eyes.“Are you alright Princess?”
CHAPTER SIXTY NINE: THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENINGKennedieThe car ride was deathly silent.I had picked my nails so much that I injured one of them and they were bleeding. Desmond just handed me a tissue small band aid to stop the bleeding “I already told you to stop doing that”I just squeaked out a small ‘thank you’Minutes passed, still silence with only a soft song playing from the radio ‘Feelings’ by Lauv. It seemed like we were never getting there, wherever we were going. And I was beginning to feel uneasy.My legs began shaking on their own “when are we getting there” I asked again.I had asked this question over twenty times in the last two hours, but the uncertainty was killing me.“Soon” he responded calmly. His voice was soothing, but it was beginning to get on my nerves how chill he was about the entire situation. “Where are we even going?” I asked, even though I should be used to the fact that he was never going to tell me directly, just his usual vague answers.“You will f
CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT: LET ME UNDERSTAND YOUDesmondNerves had never been my thing.In fact I was usually so confident that people usually found it obnoxious… called a narcissist one too many times but still that never stopped me.But now, the closer I got to the house, I felt this terrible acidic feeling in the pit of my stomach and it was making me extremely uneasy to say the least.This was not me, hell I was Desmond Knight, not sure if that even meant much but hey, I was trying to give myself a damn pep talk… let me live a little.I parked the car and walked inside the house.It didn’t take much to find out that Judith was indeed telling the truth, I mean it was a dead giveaway from the way Kennedie was acting, she looked on edge, wary, picking at her nails with her finger. That was her tell, a bad habit of hers that always showed whenever she was uneasy.“You are going to hurt yourself if you keep doing that” I said walking in.Kennedie jerked placing a hand on her rapidly beating
CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN: NO OTHER CHOICEDesmond“You’re a werewolf?”Judith smirked form where she was on the floor “surprise I guess?”I looked her dead in the eye “how is this even possible?”She shrugged “that’s what happens when you have a human mother that is a hooker and she has unprotected sex with a beast” she said those words with so much malice… it was almost like she hated who she was.No, not almost…. She absolutely detested the fact that there was werewolf blood in her veins, tainting her.I scoffed “this is the first time that I am seeing a werewolf that hates their own kind” She glared at me “I am not part of your kind” she said, her voice dripping with deadly venom.“What are you then? Because you sure as hell aren’t a human no matter how much you kid yourself” I said.She pushed herself up “I am some weird fucking hybrid that came about simply because my mother had no self-control!” she exclaimed. “I will never be a monster, no matter what I must be able to remove this
CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT: I CAN’T DO THISDesmondKennedie was getting on the very last string of my nerves.She was tugging at my sanity and driving me totally insane…. I could not stand the fact that I wanted to destroy her and shield her from any danger all at the same time, but she was making thing
