It was exactly 7:00 a.m. when Jerry drove Lyriel to the hotel where she would get dressed for her wedding. As the car came to a smooth stop, Lyriel stepped out, her heart steady, but her mind racing. She walked around the car toward Jerry, who had also stepped out. Leaning in slightly, she whispered something to him.

He nodded.

Without another word, he got back into the car and drove off.

Lyriel walked into the hotel. It didn’t take her long to find the room. Victor had given her the keycard just before he rushed off to take care of something “urgent,” or so he claimed.

Inside, her wedding dress was already waiting. It was simple, elegant, and perfect in every way...at least, it once had been. She remembered how she’d gasped with excitement the first time she saw it in her past life. Now, all she could feel was… nothing.

"Finally, it’s the D-day," she muttered, lowering herself into the seat near the vanity mirror.

Her phone buzzed. She reached into her bag and pulled it out to see a

    Lyriel walked slowly toward Damien, her heartbeat picking up with every step. Eyes were on her, watching, waiting. But she didn’t care.She stopped in front of him and looked up. For a moment, something shifted inside her.Reaching out, she grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him to his feet, her breath hitching as their noses brushed,Suddenly, memories rushed in—his touch, his kisses, his mouth on her b**bs. The way he had touched her before… teased her… made her want him more.Was he just Mr. Cruz, the mysterious wealthy billionaire from her past life? Or was he the Damien that had unknowingly tangled her thoughts, made her heart crave something dangerous? The Damien who made her wish his fiancée would disappear… so she could take her place."Time starts now!" someone called, snapping her from her thoughts.Without another pause, she pulled him more closer.And their lips met.Gasps echoed, followed by stunned silence.Then, Damien smirked against her lips.His gaze flicked t

    The group shuffled around the table, the bottle spinning in the center as music thumped faintly in the background.Lyriel’s phone buzzed on her lap. She glanced down discreetly, eyes narrowing when she saw Damien’s name light up the screen."How was it? Shocked to see your shithead fiancé kissing your best friend?"A quiet chuckle slipped from her lips, so soft no one else heard it.Victor noticed, though. He was still watching her and that small smile made him shift uneasily in his seat.Another message popped up."You look tired… but still beautiful."She didn’t reply. Instead, she locked her phone and placed it gently on the table. Her gaze swept the group lazily then roamed across the room.Jane tilted her head. "Are you looking for someone?" she asked with a smirk.Lyriel didn’t bother replying. But her eyes kept scanning… until they finally stopped.Damien.He was at the end of the club, standing near the back with one hand in his pocket, wearing black pants and a white shirt wi

    Lyriel walked into the office building, her face calm. She half expected Victor to be waiting for her in her office, maybe to apologize.But the room was empty.She let out a quiet sigh of relief. Good. One less problem to deal with, at least for now.Dropping her handbag on the couch, she made her way to her desk and sat down. She turned on her computer and stared at the screen for a moment, her fingers tapping the desk lightly.It was time to really get back to work.Until now, she had allowed Victor to take the lead on most of the company operations. She had watched from behind, letting him play the role of the trusted man by her side.That was over now.She picked up her phone and scrolled through her contacts until she found the name she was looking for..."Victor’s Assistant."She placed the call.It rang only once before the young woman answered."Yes, ma’am?""Come to my office," Lyriel said. "Right now.""Yes, ma’am!"Minutes later, the assistant came rushing into the room, sl

    Victor moved quickly, grabbing Sophia before her fingers could touch the door handle. He wrapped his arms around her from behind, holding her tightly, desperately.“Don’t go,” he whispered, pressing a soft kiss to the side of her neck. “I’m sorry… if all I’ve ever been is a burden. To you… and to our little girl.”Sophia trembled slightly, her voice low and pained. “Do you even know Ava is sick? And someone out there knows what happened between us. They’ve been threatening to tell Lyriel… but for some reason, they haven’t yet.”Victor froze. He spun her around, panic rising in his eyes."What?" he asked sharply.“That’s why you need to win Lyriel over,” she said, tears glistening in her eyes. “Give her everything she wants, so we can get everything from her.”“Sophia…” he murmured, pulling her into an even tighter hug.“I even asked her for money,” Sophia confessed, her voice breaking. “She made me sign a contract. It wasn’t like her.”“I know Lyriel,” Victor said, rubbing her back ge

    “If not for Ava, I wouldn’t be doing this… You bitch,” Sophia cursed silently, her fake smile stretching so wide her jaw began to ache. But she kept it up, pretending everything was fine.Lyriel gave her the same kind of smile—tight, hollow, and sweet on the outside. “Well, since we’re done here,” Sophia said, clearing her throat, “I’ll be going now.” She handed the documents back to Lyriel, who neatly placed them where she’d gotten them earlier.“I’ll walk you out,” Lyriel offered.Sophia quickly shook her head, almost too fast it was a miracle her neck didn’t snap. “Oh no, it’s fine. You don’t need to.”“Why?” Lyriel asked, tilting her head with a playful pout. “Are you mad at me or something?”Sophia forced a short laugh, rubbing the back of her neck like a shy child. "Of course not.""Good," Lyriel said softly, her smile returning. "Because it’s still you and me forever, right?"Sophia nodded tightly, pretending the words didn’t irritate her. Whoever told Lyriel they were friends

    Lyriel slowly rose from the bed, her robe swaying as she stood tall in the center of her room. She didn’t speak immediately. Her fingers curled at her sides before she raised one hand to push her hair behind her ear.She inhaled deeply.Then, she began pacing, her eyes fixed on the rug beneath her feet as if searching for something only she could see.Her head turned to Sophia slowly again, her eyes slightly wide.Her mouth parted just a little before she echoed, "Did you just say a hundred million?"Sophia nodded once, biting down the urge to flinch.Lyriel blinked again, this time dramatically."And you call that little? A hundred million dollars ,little?" Lyriel asked with a raised brow, a disbelieving laugh slipping through her lips. "Wow, Sophia… what do you call a large amount then? An entire country?"Sophia gave a nervous laugh, brushing her hair back—a habit she always had when she was uneasy.Lyriel stood still for a moment, now biting her nails. “What’s even my net worth th
