LOGINFor five years, Elara was the "peasant" wife, the woman who gave her kidney to save Shawn’s life, only to be rewarded with his cold indifference and his family’s verbal abuse. She was the dutiful housewife, hiding her true identity as the world’s most feared cybersecurity genius, and the secret heiress to a global empire. She stayed for love. She stayed for the hope of a family. But hope dies in a cold swimming pool. When Shawn pushes a pregnant Elara into the water to save his mistress, he not only breaks her heart, he kills the only thing she had left to love. Waking up in a hospital bed with an empty womb and a frozen heart, Elara is done playing nice. As Shawn prepares to discard her for his mistress, he’s met not with a weeping wife, but with the arrival of five of the most powerful men in the world—Elara’s brothers. Now, the "peasant" is the predator. While Shawn’s empire begins to crumble under a mysterious cyber-attack, he finds himself desperately chasing the woman he once despised. But Elara has already moved on to a man who never had to be taught her value.

What on earth was the meaning of this childish power play? What did the bitch mean by ordering me to walk down the open street like a common pedestrian?My own vehicle was parked a mere few yards away near the café entrance. I could easily turn on my heel right now, slip into the plush leather seat, and drive slowly down the road to meet her—or better still, I could just go the fuck home. And then, I could text her some dramatic excuse about my pregnancy acting up and be done with it. So damn easy! The best thing even, considering the unfavourable circumstances…But I forced myself to calm down, taking a slow, shaky breath. Since I was already out here in the heat, I might as well go all out.Stamping down the furious rage that was actively building both inside and ou
MIRANDAFinally, the lukewarm chamomile tea began to burn the back of my throat as I sipped it slowly, staring blankly out the window of the upscale café. I tried with everything I had to completely ignore the toxic buzzing and whispered murmurs radiating from the other patrons around me—a suffocating noise that had literally doubled the exact second I had stepped foot into the restaurant.From the corner of my eyes, I could see two girls at a corner table blatantly holding up their smartphones, taking a couple of pictures of my face. On a good day, a beautiful day, I would have been absolutely ecstatic to receive that kind of attention. But these were not good days. Not at all.Since that disastrous engagement evening, and the social media post my mother had deleted from my timeline—which I understood now was so unnecessary, things really did take a turn for the worse. Even though the text had only been up for a mere sixty seconds, more than half of the city had already seen the
ELARA“Good heavens! What Killian Voken does to my little sister… I swear I should personally kill him. This cannot be healthy…”What?I snapped my head up from my lap, my laughter cutting off mid-breath as I stared in absolute surprise at the tall figure leaning against my office door. It was Julian. He was standing there with his arms crossed loosely over his chest, a thoroughly amused, teasing glint in his eyes as he watched me.Why was Julian always intercepting cute moments like this? If this continues, he would be the one being killed… by me.I quickly cleared my tight throat, firmed my lips, and dropped my smartphone onto the mahogany desk surface. But the smile just completely refused to leave my lips. It returned the next second, and I gave up warring against it.Julian let out a loud tsk then, shaking his head in mock disapproval as he stepped into the office proper, smoothly shutting the heavy door behind him.My cheeks instantly blushed a deep, hot crimson. “What on eart
ELARAI pressed the teddy bear back into its place at the corner of my desk, smiled at it for a moment that was probably too long, and opened the premium lunch pack. My mouth instantly watered as the rich, savory aroma of pan-seared truffles and premium steak hit the air, causing a low, appreciative moan to escape my lips in the quiet office.Needing to hear from him immediately, I grabbed my smartphone. I paused for a fleeting second, my thumb hovering over the screen as a practical thought crossed my mind. Was he currently locked in an important international meeting right now? My mind instantly teased me back—Does that even matter?I laughed softly, shaking my head. Not really. No matter what ungodly hour my messages arrived, or how critical his business surroundings were, Killian always replied to me within the next second. It didn't matter if he was standing right in the middle of a multi-million dollar corporate presentation. Or if he was negotiating with a client.I knew t
