Hate to Love
I signed my life away at 4:47 p.m… and called it love. Five years later, I’m standing in the ruins of that choice, divorced, betrayed, and nearly dead by the hands of the man I once fought the world to marry. My husband wants me gone. His mistress is carrying his child. And the empire my parents built? Stolen right from under me. But I’m not the broken woman they think I am. Because the night they tried to kill me… I didn’t call for help. I called him. Nikolai, my ex fiancé, my enemy, the man I once abandoned… and the only one powerful enough to burn my world to ashes or rebuild it from dust. Now he’s back. Dangerous. Calculated. Watching me like I already belong to him. He says he wants to help me reclaim everything I lost. My company. My name. My power. All I have to do… is marry him. Again. But nothing about Nikolai is simple. And the deeper I fall into his game, the more I realize. This isn’t just revenge anymore. It’s a war. And this time… I’m not the woman who walks away. I’m the one who strikes back.

ADELINEThe gavel came down and just like that, my mother belonged to Nikolai Rye Sterling.I dug my nails into my wrist. Not enough to break anything. Just enough to feel something that wasn't the thing I was actually feeling."Hey." Cole's voice was low, close to my ear. "It's going to be okay."I didn't answer that. What was I supposed to say to it?The room was moving again around us, people standing, conversations picking back up, the kind of easy chatter that happens when everyone else's evening is still going perfectly fine.I pressed my nails in a little harder."Adeline." Cole said quietly. "We can leave.""Yes." I said immediately.Then I stopped.Nikolai was still seated four rows back. Not moving. Just sitting there, ankle crossed over his knee, that expression on his face that made me want to throw something heavy at it.If I walked out of here right now, he would watch me go.He would sit there and watch me leave and he would know that he'd won something tonight.

ADELINEThe gala was loud, expensive and exactly the kind of place I used to call home.Not a house. A world. Marble floors, orchestras nobody was actually listening to, women smiling at you without ever really looking at you.I grew up with things like this. My mother in a gown she’d spent three weeks choosing. My father’s hand was on her back. The two of them in some quiet conversation the rest of the room didn’t need to be part of.I pushed that down before it had time to settle.“Still with me?” Cole asked close to my ear.“Yeah. I’m good.”Not entirely. But being here was better than sitting alone in that house by a stretch.The crowd was full of people whose names were on the sides of buildings, people who shook hands like they were transferring ownership of small countries. Cole knew half of them. He moved through the room easy, introducing me without making a performance of it, keeping conversations short.I was grateful for that.“You’re not what I expected.” One of the men Co

ADELINE“You came to pick me up?” I let out a scoff, arms crossed. “Cole. We haven’t seen each other in what, four years? Five? And this is how you reintroduce yourself?”“Four years, seven months.” He said it without blinking. “Not that I was counting.”“You were counting.”“Maybe a little.”God, he hadn’t changed at all. Still that same insufferable grin that used to talk his way out of every mess in college.“Unbelievable.” I muttered.His smile faded, just slightly, hands sliding into his pockets.“I’m sorry. For leaving without saying goodbye. That wasn’t fair to you.”I blinked. I wasn't expecting that. Not today, of all days, when I’d already used up my quota of unexpected blows for the week.“It’s fine.” I said, even though it wasn’t, even though I cried myself stupid for weeks after he vanished and never once got an answer why.“It’s not fine.” He shook his head. “I just couldn’t say it to your face back then.”“And now you can?”“I kept tabs on you.” He admitted. “Not in a c

ADELINEThere are some times when you feel you have been pulled from the very brink of the underworld.This was one of them. There was a freaking, continuous and annoying ring in my head that forced me to open my eyes.The ceilings were white, disturbingly so. I blinked at it slowly, not even nee

NIKOLAI"Time of death?" I repeated the words slowly, my grip tightening around the doctor's coat. "Say that again."She can't be gone. She cannot be gone."I'm so sor—" The slap left my palm before I could think. My entire body was shaking.I should have taken her from Noah the moment I came back.

NIKOLAI“The evening’s off. I guess you were invited to the party? My wife isn’t feeling well, so whatever this is, come back another time.”The man at the door, Noah, leaned against the frame like he owned the place, offering me a polite smile that didn’t reach his eyes.I stared at him, the only

ADELINEI blinked repeatedly.It had been four days. Two whole days since Rye sent that video and nothing.No calls..No messages.No threats. Nothing from him at all anyone who that guy well enough knew, that was unusual but that was blissful. It was a good thing he was staying away from me just I
