MasukCamille Lewis was the forgotten daughter, the unloved wife, the woman discarded like yesterday’s news. Betrayed by her husband, cast aside by her own family, and left for dead by the sister who stole everything, she vanished without a trace. But the weak, naive Camille died the night her car was forced off that bridge. A year later, she returns as Camille Kane, richer, colder, and more powerful than anyone could have imagined. Armed with wealth, intelligence, and a hunger for vengeance, she is no longer the woman they once trampled on. She is the storm that will tear their world apart. Her ex-husband begs for forgiveness. Her sister’s perfect life crumbles. Her parents regret the daughter they cast aside. But Camille didn’t come back for apologies, she came back to watch them burn. But as her enemies fall at her feet, one question remains: when the revenge is over, what’s left? A mysterious trillionaire Alexander Pierce steps into her path, offering something she thought she lost forever, a future. But can a woman built on ashes learn to love again? She rose from the fire to destroy those who betrayed her. Now, she must decide if she’ll rule alone… or let someone melt the ice in her heart.

Six months had passed since James Whitfield's arrest, six months of healing and rebuilding and learning to trust in love again.Camille stood in the estate's master bedroom, looking at herself in the antique mirror as Victoria helped her adjust the simple cream-colored dress she had chosen for the ceremony. This wasn't the elaborate wedding gown she had worn for her first marriage to Alexander - this dress was elegant but understated, chosen for comfort rather than spectacle."Are you nervous?" Victoria asked, fastening the pearl necklace that had belonged to her own mother around Camille's neck."Not nervous," Camille replied, touching the pearls gently. "Excited. Ready. This feels different from the first time.""Different how?"Camille turned to face Victoria, seeing her adoptive mother looking healthy and
Chapter 232Camille sat in the back seat of the black sedan as it approached the women's correctional facility upstate, her hands trembling with nervous energy. Two weeks had passed since her rescue, two weeks of thinking about Rose's unexpected act of salvation, two weeks of remembering the sister she had once loved before everything went wrong between them.Alexander sat beside her, his face showing concern and uncertainty about this decision she had made against everyone's advice."Are you sure about this?" Alexander asked for the tenth time since they had left Manhattan. "Camille, you don't owe Rose anything, not even gratitude. She tried to have you killed.""She also saved my life," Camille replied, her voice steady despite the emotions churning in her chest. "Alexander, I need to see her. I need to look into her eyes and understand who she really is underneath all the hatred and manipulation."The correctional facility loomed ahead of them, a gray concrete structure surrounded
Chapter 231Camille sat propped up in her hospital bed, the afternoon sunlight streaming through the window casting warm patterns across the white sheets. Three days had passed since her rescue, and the bruises on her face were beginning to fade from deep purple to yellow-green. Alexander sat in the chair beside her bed, holding her hand as she slowly regained her strength."The doctors say you can go home tomorrow," Alexander said, brushing a strand of hair from her forehead. "Victoria's already been discharged. She's at the estate, resting under doctor's orders."Camille smiled weakly. "Good. She needs to take care of herself. The cancer treatments, the stress from everything that's happened... I was so scared we were going to lose her."Alexander squeezed her hand gently. "We didn't lose anyone. We're all here, we're all safe, and James is in federal custody facing charges for kidnapping and murder.""What about Rose?" Camille asked quietly. "Has there been any word about her situa
Chapter 230The abandoned textile warehouse in Queens stood silent against the gray dawn sky as federal agents took their positions around the building. Alexander crouched behind a concrete barrier with Stefan and FBI Special Agent Diana Chen, watching through binoculars as tactical teams prepared for the assault that would either save Victoria and Camille or confirm their worst fears about Rose's information."Two heat signatures on the third floor," Agent Chen whispered into her radio. "Stationary positions consistent with restrained captives. One mobile signature moving between them."Alexander felt his heart pounding as he realized the heat signatures meant Victoria and Camille were still alive. After hours of desperate searching and the agonizing decision to trust Rose, they had finally found them."Teams Alpha and Bravo, prepare for simultaneous breach," Agent Chen continued. "Priority is hostage safety. Suspect is considered extremely dangerous and likely armed."Stefan checked
