LOGIN“I’ll agree to this—but only if you stay out of my business.” “You have a deal,” the man chuckled, raising his hands in mock surrender, his husky voice dripping with amusement. “But,” he added, stepping closer, his breath brushing against her ear, “you’ll have to agree to my conditions, too.” “I said I’d agree, didn’t I?” Sherry replied coolly. Her expression didn’t waver as she grabbed his collar and pulled him down to her eye level. “Mr. Smith,” she whispered, matching his tone with a quiet fierceness. Hah… This woman is going to drive me insane, Levian thought, already realizing this would be far from easy. ~~~ On her wedding day, Sherry is poisoned by her best friend. Her fiancé? At the hospital, he was celebrating the birth of his child with someone else. But fate rewinds the clock. Waking up a day before her death, Sherry has one goal: uncover the truth and take back control. However, as the secrets unravel, she realizes the betrayal runs deeper than she imagined. That's when the rumored Levian Smith makes her an offer: “Marry me, and I’ll stake my very soul for you.” Now, she must choose—revenge or redemption?
View MoreSherry took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and turned around.When she opened them, she was looking straight at her own reflection."So pretty!" The shop assistant clasped her hands together, eyes bright. "So, what do you think?"Sherry studied herself carefully in the mirror. The beaded white gown had a fitted corset that cinched at her waist and an overflowing skirt with a long train. It was exactly right. She gave a soft smile."This is the one."It was her third time in this boutique: the same showroom, the same assistant, a different dress. The only thing that was completely different this time was the reason she was smiling.The assistant beamed and fixed a delicate organza veil into her hair, stepping back to admire the result."Do we call your fiancé in?"Sherry shook her head. "I want it to be a surprise."She twirled once, satisfied. "Let's finalize this one."***Levian had been waiting in the indoor café. By the time Sherry walked out, there were four empty coffee cups on
"She begged," Aldrevon said simply. "Your mother. The whole time, she begged. Not for herself." His eyes stayed on Sherry's face. "For you.""The pure horror on their faces as they watched me carry you away, a crying mess..." Aldrevon shuddered. "That's when I realized how sweet this emotional torture tastes."He tilted his head. "And then I remembered something. You. Three years old, unaware of everything. The perfect piece to finally get the perfect revenge on the Lona family.""So I thought, wouldn't it be interesting? Let her grow up in complete ignorance. Let her believe her parents died ordinary deaths. Let her live peacefully, happily, completely unaware. And then, one day, bring her back. To the land her family abandoned. To the ashes of her ancestors. And make the last blood of House Lona kneel before me." His voice dropped to a whisper. "Only then would I have killed you.""I spent a lot of manpower and resources on you. You should feel honored." He continued smiling as if he
As the tanks crossed the border and rolled into Northern territory, the soldiers began cheering.It started with one voice, then spread down the line until the whole column was alive with it, fists raised, rifles lifted toward the sky. They moved like men who had already won, the armored vehicles advancing in a loose, confident formation that looked more like a victory parade than an invasion.Aldrevon watched from his command vehicle with quiet satisfaction."Report," he said.Adannael Poe, who had finally earned a merit after delivering Andreas like a wrapped gift, was the first to respond. "Your Lordship, the northern soldiers appear to have deserted their posts entirely. The sector is empty. It seems the air strikes this morning drove them out."Aldrevon's eyes narrowed slightly. "The entire sector."Belingjun Joe, Team Leader of Team Badagar, confirmed it without hesitation. "No resistance whatsoever, Your Lordship. The road to the capital is open."The cheering continued around
The first explosion came without warning.The windows of Saul’s residence shook violently, rattling in their frames as a deafening blast rolled across the city like a wave. The teacup in Sherry's hand slipped from her fingers and shattered against the wooden floor. Everybody froze in their seat. Nobody moved. Nobody spoke.Then the second explosion hit, farther away but harder, and the building shuddered around them.Sherry was on her feet before she realized she had stood. "What was that?"The answer came before anyone could speak. A siren cut through the air, sharp and high, and then another joined it, and another, until dozens of them screamed across the city all at once.Saul placed down his cup as he stood up with a solemn expression. "It has begun."Outside, the streets transformed within seconds. People poured out of shops and doorways, stumbling into the open and looking upward at the thick column of smoke already climbing into the morning sky. "What happened?""Was that an
“What do you mean by that?” Adannael’s voice cracked through the silence in the room. He could hardly believe what he had just heard. “You allowed those people to escape?” He sucked in a sharp breath and exhaled through his teeth. “Not once, but twice?”Sergeant Samuel, who had just finished relayi
Belingjun and Adannael arrived at the intersection and stopped their vehicles. They climbed down and began searching the area for signs.“Belingjun!” Adannael called out when he spotted faint tire marks veering off-road behind a thick patch of bushes. He rushed over, and both men examined the groun
“The fuck…?”Crouched in the jeep, the bodyguard watched everything happen through a crack in the window. When the so-called High Chancellor peeled the synthetic skin from his face, revealing someone entirely different, the bodyguard’s brain just… froze.He didn’t recognize the man, but judging fro
The soft chirping of crickets and distant howls of wolves filled the night air as Andreas silently walked along the dark pavement. After a while, he arrived in front of the base camp entrance. The two soldiers on night duty immediately got alert upon hearing footsteps coming out of the dark jungle
