All Chapters of I Married His Enemy: Return Of The Forgotten Princess : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Chapter TwoThe moment Nikolai Rosewood stepped out of his office that bore his name, the world seemed to hush around him. His tailored navy-blue suit clung to his tall, broad frame like a second skin, his black hair barely out of place despite the long day. Even the drizzle that misted the pavement seemed to pause for him. He was the kind of man who didn't simply walk... he commanded the ground he stepped on. Employees stationed at the front desk instinctively straightened, bowing their heads in silent respect. Some dared to sneak a glance, their gazes filled with both admiration and fear. That was the power of Nikolai Rosewood... the youngest and most formidable CEO in the country. He walked with an aura into the underground parking lot, where his black Lamborghini Urus sat waiting like a loyal beast. As he unlocked the car with a subtle tap on his key fob, his phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out, glanced at the screen, and sighed. "Mom," he muttered under his b

Cassie opened her eyes to the white ceiling. The sterile scent of antiseptic filled her nostrils instantly. She heard the faint beeping sound of the monitor, making her wonder where she was.She blinked slowly and tried to adjust to the light. Her lips felt dry, her throat parched, and her body ached in places she didn’t even know could hurt.For a few moments, she lay still, her mind sluggishly trying to piece together where she was and how she had gotten here.Then, like fragments of broken glass being reassembled, the memories came rushing back... the blinding headlights, the screech of tires, the jolt of impact, and the darkness that swallowed her whole.She didn't die? Had she survived?A strange mix of emotions swirled inside her... relief that she was still breathing, sadness for reasons she couldn’t quite name yet, and an aching regret that seemed to seep into her bones. Her eyes darted around the room, taking in the sight of the pale walls and the closed blinds. It was... q

“Sign here,” he said, again and again. “Just to protect what’s already yours.”So she did. As naive as she was, Cassie signed away the mansion, the shares, the estates, the production rights, the patents, the trust funds. Cassie signed every single thing to her name and handed it all over to him. She signed until her signature became her undoing. She didn’t even realize what she had done until it was too late. And even then, she would have forgiven him. That was how much she loved him. Until Rachael, until the betrayal, until the abuse. The affair wasn’t revealed with drama or confession. She found out in the quietest, most horrifying way. Cassie's world, already cracked, shattered completely. She wanted to scream... To cry for hell. But she had been too hollow! Too tired!! Too done!! And now here she was... watching them - Together - Happy - Smiling. She hadn’t cried in months, but today, the tears threatened to fall. But she blinked them back. She would not break in fro

"You’re not going to change your mind, are you?" Rafael finally said, the fight draining from his tone. Nikolai’s answer was quiet, but it was firm, not leaving room for negotiation. "No." Silence stretched between them with neither of them willing to be the first to break it. Rafael lifted his glass again, but the scotch tasted bitter now, as if it had been sitting in the sun too long. His jovial demeanor is gone with the wind. "You know," Rafael finally said after a moment, "one day, you’re going to push someone too far with that cold logic of yours. And when that day comes…" He didn’t finish the sentence. Maybe he didn’t want to. He had already made his point clear. Nikolai simply sat back, his expression passive, as if he had already accepted the price of his choices. No one truly understands him. Simply... No... One! ******* Meanwhile, in the hospital... Cassie sat propped up in her bed, a pale blue blanket pulled over her lap. The steady beep of the heart monitor was

A month had passed since the night Cassie had nearly lost everything... her life, her will, and whatever fragile hope she’d been holding onto. The physical wounds had faded, the deep gash along her arm had healed into a thin silver line, and the bruises mottling her ribs had softened and vanished. Her head injury had also healed fully. During her recovery, Harlow had hovered around her like a shadow, always there to take care of her needs, a reminder to take her medication, or a look that said 'You’re not going anywhere without me'. He had been the best supporter she could ever have. After her parents' death and her marriage to Raymond, all her extended family abandoned her, not wanting to have anything to do with her. Raymond knew that fact and took advantage of it every time he could. "Stay at my place until you’re fully healed. It’s safer there. You know it is. Moreover, I will be able to assist you in any way." But Nikolai’s response had been colder, clipped, and final. He
