บททั้งหมดของ From His Woman to His Rival’s Queen: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Lina’s POV“Are you serious?” Daniel asked. “There's no going back after this, Lina.”“I am serious,” I said without hesitation.“What happened? If Kane has hurt you, I will end his pathetic existence. Just say the word.”My grip tightened around my phone. “I will handle it myself. Also, prepare your lawyers. I'll be merging my dad's Mafia with yours.”Later that evening, Kane got home. He rushed to me, his eyes full of concern.“What happened to you, darling? I am so sorry. We were on a mission and our phones were compromised,” he breathed out smoothly.I took a step back, my face straight.“I was coming to tell you I was pregnant.” My hands trembled. “I have no idea what happened, but I got shoved into a van. It happened so fast. I woke in the hospital, and the doctor said I'd lost the ba—”“Shhh, my love, please stop. It's okay, baby,” he whispered, embracing me. I stiffened in his arms, but he didn’t notice.“We've been through this before. We can go through this again together as

Lina’s POVI arrived while the gala was in full swing. Red dress, black heels, hair up. I didn’t look like someone grieving, but more like a woman on a rampage.People whispered as I walked through. Conversations stopped, but I ignored them and kept walking.Then I saw it. As expected, Cara sat in the seat reserved for the Don's wife. Everyone's eyes were on her. Nobody knew I was his wife.It was supposed to be revealed after the final contract signing tomorrow—our wedding anniversary.Just as Kane saw me, I beelined for Daniel's table. He kissed the back of my hand.“I knew something had shifted a few seconds ago. Turns out the most gorgeous woman in the world walked into the room,” he said, winking.My face flushed a deep red. I quickly sat in the seat he pulled out for me.As the event went on, I felt eyes boring into my head. I made eye contact with Kane; his jaw tightened. Cara was talking to him, but his eyes remained on me.I held his gaze for a short while, then looked away an

Applause broke in the hall for two seconds. Kane took a step forward, then everything stopped. For a moment, no one moved.Daniel, two solid inches taller than Kane, stepped forward.He came to my side, took my hand, and kissed it.The ice in the hall finally broke into whispers.“What’s this? Isn’t she married to Don Rivera?”“But Don Reed was called instead?”As they argued among themselves, my uncle brought forth two rings. Daniel and I exchanged them and took out pens to sign.I signed first. As Daniel was about to sign, Kane marched forward, knocked the pen out of his hand, and landed a swift punch on his face.The punch landed so hard that the crack echoed through the hall. For a split second, everyone froze. Then chaos erupted.Chairs scraped against the floor, guns were drawn from all areas of the room and safety locks turned off.Daniel's men stepped forward, guns pointing at Kane and his bodyguards. His men retaliated immediately.My bodyguards moved just as fast, forming a s

CaraDaniel and I paused when we saw her standing in front of his mansion, dressed in jeans and a hoodie. Her hands were clasped before her like an obedient applicant standing before an employer. Beside her rested a small duffel bag.Once she saw us, a small smile settled on her lips.“Don Reed, Lina,” she greeted politely.Daniel stiffened beside me. His grip on my waist tightened.“What the hell do you want?” he barked. “You shouldn't be here.”Cara lowered her head, her smile disappearing.“Don Reed, Lina, ple—”“It's Donna to you,” Daniel cut in coldly. “Now, speak.”Her face flushed. I bit back a chuckle. Her hands trembled as she started speaking.“I just need a moment with you. Please, I promise it's important.”“No,” Daniel said, his tone flat. “Leave, or I'll make you.”In a flash, the sobs came. She dropped to her knees, her tears falling like a waterfall.“Sister—” she paused when Daniel cleared his throat. “I mean, Donna Lina. Please help me. I have nowhere else to go.”I c

Lina’s POVHis face reddened.“You tricked me!” he yelled. “I didn't… you—”“I didn't do anything, Kane,” I said calmly. “You signed the contract yourself.”“You set me up!”I shook my head, pouting. “You didn’t read. I don’t see how that’s my fault, Don Rivera.”“I trusted you.” His fists slammed onto the table. People jerked back. Daniel and I remained still.“Trust? Can you define that word, Kane?”“Stop playing around, Lina. You betrayed me. I trusted you.” His voice dropped, “I loved you. I gave you everything. Is this how you pay me back? By becoming a good-for-nothing who—”“Enough!”The room fell silent as my voice echoed through the walls.“I have had enough, Kane. For five years, I trusted you. I loved you. I submitted to you.”He gulped. Some elders shifted in their seats.“I trusted you while you cheated on me.”His breathing grew heavier.“I trusted you while you killed my children!”Gasps echoed through the hall, and Kane stood gobsmacked.“What?” I chuckled bitterly. “Yo
