All Chapters of Betrayed Princess: Reborn in Vengeance : Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

NORMANI.The gates of Santiam Prison creaked open, and a blast of cool air rushed to my face. Hitting me was the first breath of freedom after a year, during which I was locked inside those lifeless gray walls. Twelve months. Three hundred and sixty-five days behind bars, not for something I did, but for the man I loved. I didn't regret it anyway.I once thought I would only stay there a week, maybe even less. My father was powerful and untouchable. He could have snapped his fingers and pulled me out at any moment. But instead, he left me there. To punish me for marrying George. To make me regret loving the one man who didn’t come from wealth or power like me. My father didn't believe in love, he spat at the idea of it.He sees George as someone who can't truly love, which is why he disapproved of our marriage.“Normani!” Estella’s voice pierced my thoughts. I turned, and I saw her jump out of her car and run toward me. Her arms wrapped around me tightly when she reached me like she w

NORMANI.God. If sin had a face, it would be on this man.Tall, broad-shouldered, dressed in dark navy like he was born into power. His hair slicked back, jawline carved by the gods themselves. His eyes were sharp, daring, like he had seen blood and didn’t flinch. And he walked like a man who had won every fight he ever entered. He was heading toward me and no one stopped him. I felt like no one could dare it.I straightened.“How did you get into my office?” I askedHe smiled, slow and cocky.“I should be asking you that. A woman like you should be ruling kingdoms, not hiding in boardrooms.” He looked around my office like it meant nothing.I narrowed my eyes.“I don’t recall asking for flattery. State your business and reason for coming into my office” I tried to maintain myself. Yes, he was handsome, but I had gotten my fair share of handsome men. They are very dangerous.“Feisty.” He dragged the lone chair in front of my desk and sat, completely unbothered. “I heard you are trying

NORMANI.I was fuming.No—“fuming” didn’t even cut it. I was absolutely livid as Shawn led me toward his car. My heart was pounding like a drum in my chest, and my palms were sweating from the aftermath of the encounter. The nerve Becky had to even open her mouth around me… and George? Oh, he had some guts showing up like that, standing beside her like they didn’t both betray me.Shawn opened the passenger door, and I slid in with a huff, my jaw clenched so tightly it could have cracked. He got in beside me and then gave me a long side glance.“You can’t keep reacting like that every time you see them,” he said coolly.“You are going to keep running into them. Probably more than you want to.”I turned to him slowly, heat flaring in my chest. “And what, exactly, do you want me to do? Smile and wave?”He didn’t even blink.“No. I want you to do better. If it is revenge you want, you can’t afford to lose control. They should be the ones losing control. Not you.”I rolled my eyes.“What d
