LOGIN“I loved you with everything I had... yet you chose my own stepsister?" Vionne Wallace's voice trembled with heartbreak. Her husband's response was a cold laugh. "Sign the divorce papers. Nora is the woman I love. You couldn't even give me a child." In one devastating day, Vionne loses everything. Her husband chooses her stepsister. Her father disowns her. The family she sacrificed everything for casts her aside like she never mattered. Heartbroken and humiliated, Vionne drowns her pain in alcohol... and wakes up in the arms of a dangerously handsome billionaire after one reckless night she can barely remember. She never expects to see him again. Until he walks into her father's mansion. Powerful. Untouchable. The one man her father has never been able to control. His best friend. Darien Callahan. When the people who destroyed Vionne try to humiliate her once more, Darien does the unthinkable. He claims her as his. What begins as a partnership fueled by revenge soon becomes something far more dangerous. Beneath Darien's cold exterior is a man willing to protect Vionne at any cost, while beneath Vionne's broken heart is a woman determined to rise stronger than the people who betrayed her. But revenge has a price. As buried secrets come to light and old enemies strike back, Vionne discovers that the man she's falling for has been hiding a devastating truth of his own. Will their love survive the lies between them? Or will her cheating ex-husband realize too late that the woman he threw away has become the one he'll spend the rest of his life begging to get back? Sometimes karma doesn't knock. Sometimes... it marries your dad's best friend.
View MoreVIONNE'S POVAs I walked downstairs, my mind couldn't stop wandering—different thoughts, possibilities, and fear. One of them was: Why does waking up feel scary? Like something shifted in this mansion. Not just something. Something dangerous.It felt really bad. I was heartbroken seeing myself trending online for all the wrong reasons, with some silly videos.This wasn't me. This wasn't the life I wanted for myself. But guess what? My family wouldn't take chances on anything that might make me happy.I trended for good too. I mean, it wasn't easy to make my father's enemy company experience an increase.Bad was more. More was bad.However, this isn't the end.Or is it?And as for Nora? This couldn't just pass. She'd pay for every pain she caused me. Waking up, I realized I needed to put a stop to some bullshit.I didn't have to contemplate it anymore. I didn't have to think about who had added something to my drink.Mischievous Nora Callahan did.I might look weak.But I wasn't weak.
VIONNE’S POVOkay, I was playing dumb when he entered… I didn't want him to be aware that I heard whatever conversations. Probably, it was high time I started acting smart too.I could be smart too, right? Act stupid, then do big things.Not bad.How I had begun the conversation with him, like a saint... Asked who that person he was conversing with was, like I didn't hear the other one calling him ‘brother.’Like brother? Or was it brethren? I knew this, actually, because the resemblance was mind-blowing.But… wait a second. Why was it so hard for Darien to admit Zayn was his brother? If their brotherly relationship wasn't so good, why was the so-called Zayn in this mansion?I don't think I like him either.Why did Damian send him to give me a phone the other day? Huh, confusing, isn't it?What the hell is going on? What kind of complicated games?I might have slept for ages, but I wasn't a fool.And trust me, my small brain was documenting everything.See this man, casually telling m
DARIEN'S POV I didn't believe it myself. My entire body froze as I processed it. No, I wasn't this heartless. Did I just forget she existed because I was done with whatever I wanted from her? Impossible. Even when it was obvious. Oh, my damn heart. I thought I’d trained you better than this. At the very least, I trained you to behave when it mattered. Act nice. Keep that sweet little act going long enough to keep this girl. Maybe I was way more heartless than I thought. Zayn could probably be right. He'd said that sometimes. But damn it. Obviously, Maddie's fine. Why do I have to care? She's an adult. A grown woman. Old enough to take care of herself. “Ever since the crazy party, I don't think I've seen her,” I told her, feeling a mixture of concern and indifference. I shouldn't be worried. I don't think I should be. I mean, Maddie was obviously resting from everything that happened. Honestly, these past few days had been hell, having to think about some random woman who seem
DAREIN'S POVMy little kitten, my doe, my fierce queen, has been sleeping for days now. And I have been damn so worried. Damian Callahan, I know, isn't supposed to give a fuck about women, not after what I went through at the hands of those creatures.But here I am.What the hell did Nora drug her with? That messed up her system, this badly. My doctor couldn't even tell what it was. There have been some complications with Vionne, and this makes my heart skip each time I remember her condition.Nora was definitely going to pay for this. Maybe after that, she'd realize who I truly am. I don't think she knows yet.No one ever jokes with anyone close to me. Not even me. Probably Nora's dad wasn't kind enough to brief his daughter about Damian.He should, before it's too late.And Jade? That silly man has been sending a lot of threat messages these past days, concerning leaving a daughter that isn't his. Was she? Those vagabonds don't deserve to live in my thoughts. So I pushed their thoug
Vionne 's Pov. The elevator ride to his hotel room was quiet, filled with the kind of tension that pressed into my chest and made my heart beat faster. I could feel his eyes on me as we rose floor after floor. He didn’t touch me, but his presence filled the small space like smoke. Heavy. Warm. Dan
Vionne 's Pov. One month. That’s how long it had been since Harrison walked out and I signed those divorce papers. A whole month of trying to breathe normally again. I tried to pick myself up every morning and act like I was okay. I told myself I didn’t need him. I told myself he wasn’t worth my
Vionne 's Pov. I had barely slept. My head throbbed from the tears I refused to let fall, and my body felt heavy, like I’d aged years in one night. But I couldn’t hide in this house forever. I had to face my family eventually. And more importantly, I had to face her. Nora. My stepsister. My fri
Vionne’s Pov. I stood at the edge of our bedroom, my arms crossed tightly over my chest as I watched him. My heart was pounding, but not the way it used to when I looked at him. Not with love or warmth or hope. This pounding felt heavy. Cold. Like every beat was trying to push the pain out of me.
