LOGINIridina Luis had it all—money, status, and a wonderful husband. Until betrayal destroyed her life. Accused of a crime she didn’t commit and left to die in a staged car crash, she vanished into thin air. But she didn’t die. Five years later, she returns as Irene Nowell, a strong, unrecognisable woman, and hell-bent on destroying everything that ruined her. Her target is her ex-husband’s dynasty. Her weapon? A phony business proposition with her former husband… who doesn't even remember her. But there is one issue: Jaxon Black—Kieran’s cunning, black sheep brother. He isn't fooled by her deception. And worse? He sees her. When sparks fly and secrets come out—especially about her son—Iridina must decide between revenge and the only man who might just love her right. Kieran wants her back. But this time, she's choosing herself, her son and the brother who never let go of her.
View MoreThe courtroom was silent when Lyana stood before the judge.She looked nothing like the woman who had once walked into Kieran's life with confidence.Her hair was messy.Her eyes were swollen from crying.And for the first time, there was nowhere left for her to hide.The judge read through the charges.Murder.Conspiracy.Attempted murder.Kidnapping.And her involvement in the events that had nearly cost Irene her life.When the judge finally delivered the sentence, Lyana lowered her head.Years behind bars.Her freedom was gone.The guards took her away.She didn't fight.She simply walked away with tears running down her face.Outside the courthouse, Irene stood beside James.She watched the doors close behind Lyana."It's finally over," she whispered.James looked at her."Yes."But for Jaxon, it wasn't that simple.He stood a few feet away, staring at the ground.Kieran was gone.And no court sentence could bring his brother back.Irene walked toward him."I'm sorry."Jaxon look
Jaxon had already decided he would never see Kieran again.After everything that had happened, he couldn't understand how the man he once called his brother had become someone capable of destroying so many lives.But that changed when Kieran made one final request."I want to see Charles."Jaxon froze when he heard the words."You've got to be kidding me."Kieran shook his head."I'm not asking for forgiveness.""Then what are you asking for?""Five minutes."Jaxon stared at him."Why?"Kieran swallowed hard."Because he's my son too."Those words stayed in Jaxon's mind for days.Eventually, he agreed.But he made one thing clear."You will not manipulate him. You will not tell him lies. And you will not make him feel responsible for what you did."Kieran nodded."I won't."The following afternoon, Jaxon brought Charles to the house.The moment Kieran saw the little boy walk through the door, his entire expression changed.His eyes filled with tears."Charles..."The boy looked at him
The courthouse was packed.Reporters waited outside, cameras flashing as Kieran was brought into the building under police escort.For months, his name had been associated with wealth, power, and influence.Today, it was associated with crime.Irene sat quietly beside Jaxon.She had barely spoken that morning.Clara sat on her other side, holding her hand."You don't have to be afraid," Clara whispered."I'm not afraid."Irene stared at the courtroom doors."I'm just tired."She had spent years waiting for this moment.Now that it was finally here, she didn't know what she was supposed to feel.The judge entered.Everyone stood.Kieran was brought into the courtroom.He looked thinner than he had days earlier.His expensive suits were gone.His confidence was gone too.He glanced toward Irene.Their eyes met.Irene looked away.The judge began reading the charges.Conspiracy.Attempted murder.Kidnapping.Evidence tampering.And several other charges connected to the events surroundin
The house no longer felt like a home.It was too quiet.Too many things had happened within those walls, and now that the truth had finally come out, there was nothing left to hide behind.Kieran sat alone in the living room, staring at the floor.For the first time in years, he looked like a broken man rather than the powerful businessman everyone feared.His phone lay beside him.There were dozens of missed calls.Lawyers.The police.People he once considered friends.He ignored all of them.There was only one person he wanted to speak to.Irene.He knew she might never forgive him.He didn't deserve her forgiveness.But before the police took him away, he needed to say what he should have said years ago."I'm sorry."The words sounded pathetic even to him.A car stopped outside.Kieran immediately stood.Irene walked into the house with Jaxon, Clara and James behind her.The moment Kieran saw her, his heart sank.She looked different.Not physically.Her eyes were different.There
The violins were overkill.I'd barely stepped into the bloody tower before a string quartet greeted me with some rendition of Vivaldi, glasses tinkling and muffled whispers wafting through the air like perfume."Remind me why we do this?" I asked the bartender, Louis, who was a friend of mine, as h
"I swear, if I have one more sleazy board member trying to sweet-talk their way to a contract." I muttered, fiddling with the front door lock and pushing the door open with my shoulder. “I might actually combust.”Cinnamon and something sweet-scented filled the air as I stepped in. Home.I kicked o
"Who the hell is she?" I said as I stormed into Kieran's office.He didn't even look up. He just kept typing away on his keyboard as if I weren't standing there. As if I hadn’t asked a question.Typical Kieran behaviour."I’m talking about the woman that just walked out of here, Kieran,” I continue
"You weren't meant to come back home until tomorrow," my husband said, though after today, I doubt he’ll be my husband again.He said it calmly as if I hadn't just found him in our wedding bed.With my sister."I came early," I said, my focus more on the two people that were meant to always have my
