My bodyguards maintain their formation as I stride down the center aisle.

The crowd parts before us, some reporters stumbling backward in their haste to avoid the advancing wall of muscle and menace.

The auditorium is larger than it appeared from outside. Tiered seating rises toward the back, every level packed with journalists, photographers, and camera operators. The air conditioning struggles against the heat generated by so many bodies and electronic equipment, creating an oppressive atmosphere thick with anticipation and barely contained aggression.

The hungry vultures seem thrown off for a beat. My composed entrance clearly not matching whatever broken, desperate woman they expected to see.

I can feel their confusion ripple through the crowd like a physical force. Some lean forward in their seats, squinting as if trying to reconcile the poised figure before them with the narrative they've been fed.

But predators adapt quickly. The moment of uncertainty passes, and their sen

Important Update: I’m not sure about the future of my books on Goodnovel. The recent update from my editor says their audience prefers drama yet The Tyrant Contract Bride performed poorly despite being packed with drama. Even The Billionaire's Sinful Affair, which was well received by many of you, ended up flopping on the platform. Even this story is dramatic from the start. After researching their bestsellers, I’ve realized my unique stories might not align with what their readers are looking for. I won’t talk down on any author’s work, but if cliché plots are what thrive here, then Goodnovel isn’t the right fit for my books. I’ll be updating the edited chapters I have left, but unless my books receive promotion, I’ll be stepping back. I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience, and please follow my page for future updates and announcements. With love, Golden Butterfly

This was the one time I did not mind spending money on a goodnovel book. I’m very glad I did. I actually hate GN for the stupid ass shit they pull.

    ELISEThe announcement sends a ripple of excitement through the dining room, where the assembled family members are now gathered.Soon, a glamorous woman enters like she owns the world.She is tall, with platinum blonde hair swept into an elegant chignon.Her dress is a masterpiece of understated luxury, every line and detail chosen to signal quiet wealth.But it’s her bearing that truly commands attention.She moves with the smooth, unhurried grace of someone born to privilege, every step calculated to project power and breeding.Her gaze is cold and precise, taking in everything and everyone with the assessing stare of a predator.She is the embodiment of old money elegance and entitlement. Everything the Westfield family values is wrapped up in this one perfectly polished package.The family rises to greet her as if she is royalty returning from exile.Vivienne actually smiles genuinely for the first time since I arrived. Her face softens with authentic warmth."Juliana, darling. W

    ELISEThe smaller dining room is still larger than most people's living rooms, with windows that look out over the estate's manicured gardens.Natasha is already seated at the table, looking fresh and perfectly put together in a pale yellow dress that makes her skin glow.She smiles sweetly as I enter, the expression of a cat that has cornered a particularly interesting mouse."Elise. Good morning. Did you sleep well. The guest rooms can be so drafty. I always found them uncomfortable when I visited as a guest before."Her barb is subtle but pointed. She is reminding me that she belongs here in a way I never will.I ignore her and focus on the coffee a servant pours. The liquid is perfect, rich and dark. However, it tastes like ash in my mouth.Natasha continues, undeterred by my silence. "I was just telling Alexander how wonderful it is to finally be part of this family. Officially, I mean. Not like some people who married in under questionable circumstances."My hand tightens around

    ELISEI sleep fitfully in Kieran's old room.The bed is enormous, draped in silk sheets that should feel luxurious. Yet they might as well be made of thorns for all the rest they provide.Every sound in the vast mansion makes me tense.Footsteps echoing in the corridor. Doors closing somewhere in the distance.Each noise pulls me from the edge of sleep, my heart racing and my body coiled tight with anxiety.I stare at the ceiling, trying to summon the strength to face another day in this den of wolves.A soft knock at the door makes me sit up with my pulse immediately spiking."Mrs. Westfield, you're requested in the smaller family dining room." A young servant appears at my door.Her eyes are downcast, clearly uncomfortable with her task and her hands tremble slightly as she speaks.Requested. As though I have a choice in this house."I've also been tasked to deliver this dress to you." She holds out a garment wrapped in laundry bag. "Second Old Madam says you might need this since y

    KIERANKieran's childhood room is at the far end of the east wing, isolated from the rest of the family quarters.A deliberate choice his mother made when he was young, trying to give him some semblance of sanctuary in this house of horrors. A place where he could be a child, if only for a few stolen hours.The hallway stretches before him like a tunnel until he finally stands before his old bedroom and pushes the door open quietly.The familiar scent hits him immediately.Old books and leather, the faint trace of his scent that still lingers, and beneath it all, something new.There, curled up on that bed like a fallen angel, is Elise.She's fast asleep, still wearing her day clothes.A simple dress that's now rumpled from stress and whatever ordeal his family put her through.She didn't change into pajamas, didn't even pull back the covers. She’d collapsed onto the bed as if her body finally gave out after holding itself together for too long.Even though she's sleeping, there's a s

  • The Heiress' Return For Vengeance    CH.111

    KIERANKieran's footsteps echo in the vast corridor, each one taking him further from the life his father planned for him and heads straight toward his mother's suite.However, as he walks through the familiar corridors, something feels wrong.The air tastes empty. He can't catch even a whisper of her scent that has become as familiar to him as his own breath.The door to Celeste's suite stands slightly ajar with a sliver of golden lamplight spilling into the darkened hallway.Kieran pushes it open, stepping into the dimly lit sanctuary his mother has carved from this house of horrors.Celeste sits in her usual chair by the window, gazing blankly at the darkening sky, where the first stars are beginning to pierce through.The fading twilight casts shadows across her face, highlighting the delicate bone structure that Kieran inherited.The same sharp cheekbones, the same aristocratic features that mark them both.Yet she looks frailer than he remembers.Her skin is nearly translucent,

  • The Heiress' Return For Vengeance    CH.110

    KIERANKieran is in a boardroom in Brussels, listening to projections for the European markets when a call from his penthouse comes."Sir, Mrs. Westfield has been taken." Vincent's voice rings the second the call connects.Vincent's words hit Kieran like a sledgehammer to the chest.Around the table, executives continue discussing quarterly reports, oblivious to the fact that his world has just tilted off its axis.The numbers on the projection screen blur as the voices fade to white noise.Everything narrows to a single point of focus.Elise."Taken where?" His voice is controlled, but his knuckles are white where they grip the phone."The Old Master's people, Portala. She went willingly to avoid bloodshed."Kieran's jaw clenches so hard his teeth ache."They're heading to the estate."The estate. That word alone carries the weight of decades of trauma, manipulation, and cruelty.The place where Kieran learned that love was weakness and sentiment was a liability to be exploited.And
