LOGINThey shattered her heart. Now she's back to ruin their world. Kate once had it all - love, friendship, and a bright future. Until one tragic night changed everything. Her boyfriend cheated on her. Her best friend betrayed her, orchestrating the car crash that nearly took her life. Desperate for a second chance, her wish was granted. Four years later, she's no longer the naive girl they left behind. Now known as Taylor Cosgrove, CEO of TAC Limited. She's back in City S, with one goal in mind, "destroy everyone who betrayed her". But as the lines between the past and present blur, Kate uncovers secrets darker than she ever imagined. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes the truth might not just ruin her enemies, but her new life as well. Love. Lies. Betrayal. Redemption. And one devastating secret that changes everything. "Isn't it obvious, Kate? I did it because I love you". Unable to tell the truths from the lies, Kate is trapped in the webs of her past. **** THE PAST "Where were you?" A girl with blond hair sobbed, barely keeping her eyelids opened. "You promised to always protect me...." "But I'm here now", he whispered softly, cradling her in his arms. "This is all your fault, I'll never forgive you". Her hands went limp, as the words left her mouth. She had lost consciousness. An ambulance wailed in the distance. The sky turned dark and gloomy.

Charles had reluctantly let her go to prepare his 'surprise’, and now she waited, away from the noise, observing the crowd.She’d distanced herself from the business associates, not in the mood to entertain anymore conversations about the car. Not that they dared approach her - thanks to Charles.He made an announcement: no negotiations during the afterparty, or they’d be disqualified from owning the limited edition release. And of course, they all listened.The power that man held. A proud smile tugged at her lips as she took another sip of her drink.“You must be feeling proud of yourself right now”.Kate didn’t need to look to know who it was. The bitterness in their tone gave them away. Rose.“Of course”, she replied cooly, not sparing her a glance.“And yours would have been a success, if you had just listened to me”, she added, turning slightly to meet Rose's hatred filled eyes.“It was just
“How do I look?” A woman walked down the stairs, her blue black hair styled neatly into a bun. She wore a white suit dress stopping slightly above her knees, pleated at the sides with three-quarter sleeves. Pairing it with white Louis Vuitton heels, a matching handbag, and a pearl necklace and earring, completed the look.She looked elegant, stunning and professional.Kate walked down the stairs towards a man dressed in a crisp white suit and pants.Charles black eyes roamed her body before meeting her gaze, a proud smile forming on his face. “Every inch a successful CEO”, he said, walking towards her as she stepped on the final stair, curling an arm around her waist. “Everyone's eyes are going to be more on you than the car we’re unveiling tonight”.Kate's cheeks turned a shade of red. “Stop flattering me”.“I’m serious, darling”, he said softly and gently tucked a loose strand of her hair behind her ear. “You’re going to be spectacular tonight”.“And I’ll be right by your side on
Slowly, Catherine turned to meet Rose's scrutinizing gaze. Her eyes flickered down to the paper still in Catherine's hand, then back to her face.“Didn’t you hear me?” Rose snapped “I just came to pick up my file that's all”, Catherine replied, raising the folder in her other hand as proof.Rose arched her brow. “And the paper?”“It slipped out from underneath. I was just picking it up___”.Rose walked over to her and snatched the paper from her hand, cutting her off mid-sentence.Catherine stopped the urge to hiss and instead offered a tight-lipped innocent smile.“Since you’ve gotten what you came for, you can leave”, Rose said coldly, walking past her toward the desk.Catherine turned to go, but Rose’s voice stopped her.“How’s your arm?” She glanced back, noticing Rose’s eyes lingered on her bandaged arm before rising to meet her gaze. “It’s fine”, Catherine replied.“Take the rest of the month off”, Rose said. “You can resume work in November”.Catherine almost rolled her eye
Charles froze. He snapped toward the voice to see the reflection of Kate staring back at him. Not Taylor. Blond hair, sapphire eyes and that smile she always wore on her face. She looked exactly like the last time he had seen her, when they’d bumped into each other, and yet she hadn’t recognized him. “Given up on finding me so easily?” Another voice teased. He turned his head to the other side, where Taylor's reflection stood waving at him with a mischievous smile. He shifted his gaze back to Kate’s reflection, comparing it with Taylor’s. Facially, they were two different people except for the eye colour, and they both had a stunning hourglass figure. It was like staring at strangers and yet an invisible thread of familiarity bonded them…. Or was it the eye colour that made him think so. “So what if I am her… and she is me? Does it matter?” Kate's reflection said, pulling him from his thoughts. It shouldn’t matter….or at least that’s what he’d told himself again and agai
Charles let out a tired sigh as he exited the hotel, Jack by his side.“What’s next on my schedule?”“Just one more meeting, sir”, Jack replied.“Alright”, Charles gave a brief nod. “Let's get it over with”.He slid into the backseat while Jack took the wheel and started the engine.It was 8pm. On a normal day, he’d have told Jack to drop him off at Taylor's place, snuck into her home and cuddled beside her on the bed. But not tonight.He pulled out his phone, as his finger hovered over her number in his call log. Instead, he swiped into their chat that morning.HIM: Morning darling. I won't be coming to the office today, so don't wait for me.MY DARLING: Good morning, King. Full schedule today?HIM: Yeah.MY DARLING: Alright HIM: Text me when you leave the office, okay?—-That had been the last message. Still no reply.He checked his phone again, he’d been doing it all day. Even the person he met earlier had noticed.He hesitated for a second before typing a new message.HIM: Darli
Kate, Gracie and Catherine sat in a private booth of a cafe, sipping boba. It was lunch break for Kate and Gracie, while Catherine had begged to tag along with them.Catherine still had the cast on, as the doctor said it needed another week before she could without it. Alexander had practically kept her on house arrest, since she was staying with him indefinitely. She never stopped complaining that staying at home was boring and exhausting, especially since she was alone most of the times.So when the girls invited her, she instantly agreed, and had suggested they get boba first.Kate absentmindedly played with the straw, dragging it between her index finger and thumb. Her chin rested on her palm.“Are you okay?” Gracie's worried voice snapped her out of her trance. “You’ve been like that since we got here”.“Gracie is right”, Catherine nodded, worry etched on her face.Kate's eyes darted between them.She had introduced both girls when she and Gracie visited Catherine at Alexander’s
