概要

Girl Power

Dark Romance

CEO

Goodgirl

Affair

Weak to Strong

Face-Slapping

“Lily Myles, what is the meaning of this??!! How can you accept the marriage proposal of your sister's fiance when I, your own fiance, is standing right here?! What sort of embarrassment and disrespect is this??!!!" Aiden bit out in rage. “I told you I forgave you.” Lily whispered. Her eyes glistened as she slipped the ring onto her finger with a smirk on her face. “I never said I’d forget.” When Lily Myles catches her fiancé in bed with her own sister, her world shatters in an instant. Everything… the wedding, the future, her sense of worth turns to ashes. But she isn’t the only one betrayed. Ethan Cole, a secret billionaire, her sister’s fiancé, discovers that the woman he planned to marry was sharing her heart and her body with another man. When pain brings them together, vengeance becomes their common language. Aria and Ethan strike an unholy pact, to ruin the ones who destroyed them. To make their betrayers taste humiliation, heartbreak, and loss. But as the line between revenge and desire blurs, something dangerous begins to grow between them. He was supposed to be her partner in payback not the man she dreams about. She was supposed to help him destroy love, not teach him how to feel it again. Now, revenge has a price neither of them expected: their hearts.

CHAPTER ONE
LILY'S POV“Hello? Yes, Mrs. Calloway, I’m still here…Sorry, the line cut for a second,” I said, pressing the phone between my shoulder and ear as I rummaged through a drawer for my sketchbook.The wedding planner’s voice crackled through the line, cheerful and rushed. “No problem, dear. I just wanted to confirm your floral arrangement…you mentioned wanting lilies, right?”“Yes….white lilies and maybe a touch of blush roses around the altar…. Liam loves lilies,” I said, smiling unconsciously as I balanced my coffee cup in one hand and a pen in the other.“Oh, how sweet,” she cooed. “And your dress fitting is still this weekend?”“Yes, Saturday morning…my sister will come with me.”“Adira, right?”“The one and only.” I chuckled softly. “She’s more excited than I am…If I let her, she’d probably wear the dress herself.”Mrs. Calloway laughed. “That’s what sisters are for.”I smiled, hanging up after we finalized the details. My apartment smelled faintly of vanilla candles and coffee

CHAPTER TWO
LILY'S POV I couldn’t feel my legs when I ran out of that room.The image was burned into my mind…my fiancé, the man I was supposed to marry in less than a month, lying in bed with my sister.My sister.Every breath I took felt like I was swallowing glass. The sound of their voices still echoed in my head, their whispers, the way his hand touched her skin the same way it used to touch mine.I didn’t even know how I got home. My body just moved, driven by pain and shock. When I opened the door, the familiar scent of home hit me…cooked stew, detergent, the faint smell of my mother’s lavender oil. It felt like stepping into a world that had no idea my own had just crumbled.“Lily?” My mother’s voice came from the kitchen. “You’re back early… what happened to your face?”I didn’t answer….I didn’t even know what expression I wore anymore…grief, rage, or disbelief.“Lily!” she called again, wiping her hands on a towel as she walked toward me. Her eyes widened. “Why are you shaking l

CHAPTER THREE
LILY'S POV I used to think love was the safest place in the world.I used to think that when you found someone who saw your flaws and still chose you, you could breathe freely, knowing they’d never turn their back on you.That’s what Aiden was to me.Or at least, that’s what I believed.Three years ago, before the art exhibition meeting, I met him the very first time on a rainy Tuesday.I remember because my umbrella broke, and I ran into the nearest café dripping wet and furious. He was there sitting at the corner table, tapping on his laptop, sipping black coffee. He looked up, smiled, and offered me his extra napkin.“You look like you fought the rain and lost,” he said, his voice deep and calm.I laughed, embarrassed. “I think the rain won this round.”That was how it started.He wasn’t rich. In fact, he was struggling.He told me about his dreams… how he wanted to start a tech firm, how he just needed one good break.And I… I believed in him. I helped him draft proposals, e

CHAPTER FOUR
LILY'S POV The rain came before the tears.It fell hard and heavy against the window of my apartment, drowning out the silence that had filled the room since the day my world cracked open. I’d stopped counting the hours. My phone died three days ago or maybe four….I didn’t care enough to check.The lilies on the table… the same kind I’d chosen for the wedding had wilted into brown stems. Their scent, once soft and sweet, now smelled like something decaying.That was how I felt inside.The messages had come, of course.“Lily, please answer me…I made a mistake, please don’t hate me….It wasn’t supposed to happen.”Adira’s voice also echoed through the voicemails. The sister who once braided my hair and shared my secrets now sounded like a stranger pleading through static.And Aiden? He hadn’t called once.That silence said more than any excuse ever could.I curled tighter on the couch, pulling the blanket around me as thunder rolled. That was when the knock came.Three short, sharp

CHAPTER FIVE
LILY'S POV Forgiveness.It’s funny how that word can taste so sweet on the tongue and still burn in the heart.Everyone thinks forgiveness means peace, but sometimes, it’s just the quiet before the storm.Three weeks had slowly passed since the night everything came crashing down.Adira had moved back into my mother’s house, quiet and pale, avoiding me like I was a ghost. Aiden, on the other hand, hadn’t stopped calling, texting, showing up begging for another chance.I had a plan now.A silent, beautifully crafted plan that even Aiden couldn’t see coming.And at the heart of it… was Ethan.Ethan, Adira’s ex-fiancé..the man who knew exactly how betrayal tasted. The man who, like me, had loved and been destroyed by the same people.Together, we had built a pact: to make them feel the sting of every wound they left on us.And what better way to do that… than to do it with a smile?The family dinner was my idea.My mother had been begging for peace. “Lily, my daughter, you and your s

CHAPTER SIX
LILY’S POVSilence was the only thing that followed after I accepted Ethan's proposal.Adira collapsed into her chair like her bones could no longer hold her while Aiden looked like a man watching the last piece of his world fall off a cliff.My mother was teary, confused, relieved, and overwhelmed all at once.Ethan rose slowly, sliding the ring onto my finger with steady hands.And when his skin touched mine, something…just something shifted inside me and it was power.And for the first time in my life, I liked how it felt.“Thank you,” Ethan said softly.I didn’t respond.The entire room was holding its breath, waiting for the next explosion.Adira stood suddenly.“Lily, you can’t possibly mean this….you can’t marry him….He’s only doing this to get back at me!”Ethan turned to her, his face expressionless.“You’re not the center of my universe, Adira.”Her lips parted, trembling.“Ethan…”He didn’t even blink.“Respect yourself.”Aiden rubbed his chest like he couldn’t breathe.“Li

CHAPTER SEVEN
LILY'S POV When Ethan left my apartment, I got thinking and I mean a lot of thinking.I knew that I wanted revenge for the humiliation my sister and my ex fiance put me through but what I realized was that Ethan’s quest for revenge seemed higher than mine.I watched his words, actions and intentionality and I couldn't help but wonder if I was making the right decision by choosing to marry him.He wasn't in love with me…obviously but getting married to someone I didn't love was never a part of my plans.After spending almost two hours on my couch deep in thoughts, I decided to freshen up and allow my thoughts to rest for a while.My phone buzzed just as I stepped out of the shower.For a moment, I thought it was Ethan…he always checked on me before leaving his office but not out of concern though.But instead, I saw the name flashing on the screen:MOM.My heart sank.on one hand, my intrusive thoughts just whispered to me to leave the call and talk to her some other time but my consc

CHAPTER EIGHT
LILY'S POV I froze at the doorway, my hand still holding the knob, unable to understand how Aiden of all people was standing right in front of my apartment. It felt wrong. It felt out of place and it felt like a nightmare I didn’t ask for.For a moment, my brain refused to catch up.“Aiden?” I breathed out shakily. “What are you doing here?”He didn’t answer. He only stared at me with a strange mix of desperation and determination in his eyes.That alone made my heart beat faster and not from excitement, but from alarm.I swallowed hard and tried to shut the door.Immediately, his hand shot forward and stopped it mid-way.“Lily, wait …”“No.” I pushed harder, trying to close it. “Aiden, leave.”Instead, he pushed the door open and stepped inside like he owned the place.I stumbled back. “Get out of my apartment.”“Please, just listen,” he said, walking in and closing the door behind him.My skin crawled.“If you don’t get out right now,” I warned, voice trembling with anger.“I

CHAPTER NINE
LILY'S POV Ethan’s words hung in the air like a heavy cloud.“Come with me…. Stay in my apartment.”For a few seconds, I could only stare at him, still shaken from everything that had just happened. My heart was beating too fast, but not from fear this time…more from confusion.“Ethan…” I finally whispered, taking a step back. “I can’t.”His brows pulled together. “Why not?”“It will get… awkward,” I said honestly. “We just started all this…Moving in together? It’s too fast…too sudden and definitely weird…and also after everything tonight, my head isn’t even clear.”He exhaled slowly, visibly frustrated but trying to be patient. “Lily, I’m not asking you to be my wife tomorrow…I’m just asking you to stay somewhere safe.”“I am safe,” I insisted, even though the sting on my arm said otherwise.“No, you are not,” he countered sharply. “Aiden knows where you live…that bastard has no boundaries…I can’t leave you here alone.”“I’ll lock the doors,” I muttered.“And if he forces his

CHAPTER TEN
LILY'S POV For a full five seconds, I couldn't move.I just stood there with my mouth slightly open, staring at the strange woman who boldly claimed to be Ethan’s wife. My mind was spinning, my heart thundering so loudly I could barely hear anything else.His wife?No....No… that couldn’t be possible.Ethan? Married?I felt my stomach twist painfully.My hands trembled on my suitcases. Every horrible, confusing thought rushed into my head at once.Before I even realized what I was doing, words slipped out of my mouth.“I…I’m so sorry,” I stuttered, stepping back. “I must have… I think I got the wrong apartment.”I grabbed my suitcase handles, ready to run. My legs were already halfway turned when the woman called out sharply.“Wait! Oh my God…wait!”I froze again, this time more from confusion than fear. Slowly, I turned around.She burst into laughter. Loud, dramatic laughter that echoed through the hallway.“I’m so sorry!” she said between laughs. “Oh wow… you should have seen
