"Wait! Miss Vale, did you drop this?" a voice called from behind them.

Aria narrowed her eyes slightly and turned—only to see a slender, familiar figure. Her? Her eyelashes fluttered almost imperceptibly. So, the timeline had shifted. She was meeting Clara earlier than expected—Clara, the kind girl who had helped her in her past life and paid for it with her life.

Aria bounded over, eyes wide and sparkling with feigned innocence.

"Pretty lady, are you a nurse? Are you gonna give me a shot? Can you be reaaally gentle? I’m super scared of needles!" She pouted and clutched the hem of Clara’s uniform like a lost child, her face a mask of exaggerated fear.

From where he stood, Damian could see Clara looking visibly stunned. His brows drew together. Without a word, he strode over and took Aria’s hand.

"Let’s go."

"Bye, pretty nurse! I’ll come find you next time for my shot, okay?" Even as he pulled her away, Aria turned back with a cheerful wave, her grin wide and bright. She ne

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET BRIDE    The Leak That Shakes The Vale Family

    "Just stay calm—I’ll be right there!" Rowan Vale hung up in a rush. He had completely forgotten about questioning Aria’s finances; his only thought now was to get home and contain the disaster. "Mr. Cross, my deepest apologies—a family emergency. I must take my leave immediately. Rain check?" Without waiting for a reply, Rowan practically bolted out the door. Celeste had just called, her panicked voice saying reporters had surrounded their villa after receiving a tip about his tax evasion. Now, with every major outlet in Meridian City scrambling for a scoop, the Vale residence was under siege—journalists shouting questions nonstop. Rowan’s heart pounded. This was supposed to be airtight. No one should have known. So who talked? Aria watched Rowan’s hurried retreat, her gaze cold and sharp. Because he’d always thought she was a fool, Rowan never bothered hiding his dealings from her. But now—reborn and clear-minded—Aria remembered everything. She knew all his secrets. And this

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET BRIDE    The Calm Before Her Revenge

    “Aria, sweetie! Daddy’s here to see you!” Even before Rowan Vale appeared, his overly cheerful voice echoed through the villa. Aria instantly sensed his excitement—but she knew it wasn’t for her. He only wanted answers about her mother’s inheritance. A faint shadow crossed her eyes before she smoothed her expression. Moments later, Rowan entered the room. The instant he spotted Damian Cross, he froze. Then he forced an obsequious smile onto his face. “Mr. Cross! What an honour! I brought Aria some gifts—oh, and something for you as well. Just a small token of respect.” Damian didn’t bother acknowledging him. He didn’t even turn his head. His expression remained colder than frost. The contrast between Rowan’s eager grin and Damian’s detached indifference was humiliating, but Rowan didn’t dare complain. Damian Cross wasn’t someone he could afford to offend—he was the king of Meridian City. Just then, a low rumble broke the silence. Damian turned his gaze, amusement flickering in

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET BRIDE    The Day The Household Bowed To His Bride

    At Damian’s signal, several bodyguards moved instantly, seizing Mrs. Whitmore without hesitation. She panicked. “Young Master—what are you doing?!” Damian’s voice was cold enough to freeze bone. “Mrs. Whitmore, do I need to remind you? Aria is my wife—the sole mistress of this house. If she slaps you, you accept it. And you dare complain to me? Are you tired of living?” His eyes sharpened like a blade. “Take her out and throw her into the sea.” The bodyguards tightened their grip. In that moment, it became painfully clear—her life meant nothing to him. Only Aria did. Mrs. Whitmore shrieked, digging her nails into the floor as she was dragged. “Young Master, please! I’ve served your family for years—how can you treat me like this?!” “The whole staff saw your wife slap me and force me to my knees! And I’m the villain now?! The entire city will say you’ve lost your mind!” Her voice trembled with desperation, but her arrogance still clung stubbornly. Favoured for years by Mr. Cr

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET BRIDE    Aria’s First Victory

    After finally calming Aria Vale down, Damian didn’t give her a chance to react. Without warning, he swept her into his arms and strode down the hillside. If she kept crying like that, he was convinced she’d drown the whole mountain. Ghost—the massive Tibetan Mastiff—wobbled after them, ready to follow. But Damian let out a sharp whistle, a single commanding note that echoed through the trees. Ghost halted instantly. The enormous dog dropped to the ground with a pitiful whimper, snowy fur drooping as he hung his giant head in miserable abandonment. Aria’s heart clenched. She tugged at Damian’s sleeve, eyes wide and pleading. “Big Brother… Ghost looks so sad. Can we bring him home? Pleeease?” “No,” Damian replied flatly. Bringing that oversized beast home was a disaster waiting to happen. The moment he refused, Aria’s face crumpled. Her lip trembled, her eyes filled, and she looked at him as if he’d personally crushed her heart. “You’re mean… You promised you’d listen to me… and

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET BRIDE    The Tears That Always Win

    Aria Vale was lost in thought when something warm and wet brushed her palm. Startled, she looked down—Ghost had just licked her hand. Seeing she didn’t pull away, the giant Tibetan mastiff stepped closer, lifting a paw as if preparing to jump on her again, acting cute to win affection. A sharp command cut through the air. Ghost instantly shrank back with a wounded whimper, lifting his icy blue eyes toward Aria as though tattling on Damian. She nearly laughed. Was this really the terrifying “beast” the maids whispered about? Damian rested a hand on Ghost’s head, a softness flickering in his usually cold gaze. Even after all these years, Ghost still remembered Aria. Ghost was rarely friendly—aside from Damian and Aria, no one could approach him without being barked at, sometimes chased off. After Damian brought him from Aurelia City as a child, Ghost had grown more volatile whenever Aria wasn’t around, so Damian kept him on the mountainside. Rumours eventually painted Ghost as a kill

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET BRIDE    Where Loyalty Kneels

    All the maids froze, stunned into silence. Mrs. Whitmore—usually stern and tyrannical—was actually kneeling before Aria Vale as if begging for forgiveness. Some maids nearly burst into laughter at the absurdity, but they swallowed it back out of instinctive fear of the woman’s authority. “Well, since you realized your mistake and even knelt down to apologize, I’ll forgive you,” Aria said, lips slightly pouting. Then she added sweetly, “But hitting this pretty sister wasn’t right. You need to apologize to her too.” “In your dreams!” Mrs. Whitmore snapped, fury twisting her features. She tried to stand, but pain shot up her leg each time she moved. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t get up. “What are you all standing there for? Help me up and take me back!” she barked. The maids snapped into motion, rushing to haul her to her feet. Even as they carried her away, she glared venomously at Aria. “You little fool. This isn’t over!” Aria’s eyes turned cold. Mrs. Whitmore clearly
