And let me warn you, if I find out you are double crossing me, well… I don't have to tell you what happens to people who betray me, do I?” A beat of silence and then, “No. No you do not.” “Good. You have three days.” I end the call before he can respond and toss the phone onto the desk. My hands are shaking, not from fear, but from the sharp, hot satisfaction curling in my chest. She’s here. She came back. After all this time, after everything we buried, she’s here, walking around in a different dress and pretending she’s someone else.

I couldn't help but wonder: had I already fallen for this queen beside me? The thought sent a flutter through my chest, and I couldn't deny the connection I felt. I leaned in, my lips brushing against her neck. She stirred, mumbling incoherently as she turned toward me. A soft chuckle escaped my lips as I gazed at her peaceful face. This was the Evelyn I remembered from our childhood days – the one who clung to my hand, who always wanted to be by my side. My smile lingered as I studied her features. I had envisioned our first sex differently, but it seemed fate had other plans.

Peaceful. Vespera Hale walked along the mahogany shelves, trailing her fingers over the spines of the books. Philosophy. Strategy. History. She stopped. On a shelf at eye level, nestled between The Art of War and a first edition of The Count of Monte Cristo, was a book she didn't recognize. It had no dust jacket. The binding was matte black, textured like volcanic rock. The lettering on the spine was silver, sharp and angular. SAVAGE REBORN.

Five years later The large door opened and a woman in her late twenties walked in. Elegant, beautiful, majestic were the best words to describe her as she carried herself with supreme grace to her seat that was resting at the center of the room. Her eyes shone with nothing but dullness, and her appearance was strict and reserved in a professional manner. All the eyes of the men in the room brighten in interest and the women with admiration and jealousy. But none of it meant anything to the high level lady in her majestic elegant royal blue suit. She is none other than Bianca McKenzie, the unknown heiress of the Josh who claimed the position of the McKenzie Empire after her grandpa willingly

***Three hours ago*** The celebration was going on in the Mendoza mansion. Claire was back. She was still healing, still planning to clear her name from the mess, and still plotting her revenge against Parsons and Rowlands. Though she was back and the media wanted answers, nobody could come close to her as she was under Carlos's watch. Their mansion was full of people they trusted. Ricardos and Mendozas celebrated her arrival as if it were some festival, not caring about anything in the world. Evangelina, Juliana, and Claire danced in the middle of the living room while everyone else clicked their glasses.

She leaned against the counter, watching me with thinly veiled satisfaction. "Adele, dear," she said sweetly, "we're all leaving shortly. There's a party tonight." I nodded, uninterested.

His star-crossed lover." The name sliced through me like a steak knife, gutting me open for my mother-in-law to glare, pleased.
