Novel & Cerita The Comeback Queen

I read them over breakfast with Dee across from me, eating toast and pretending he was not watching my face. The pieces were thorough. Journalists who had done their research overnight and come up with the same clean wall Theo had built fourteen months ago. A woman who had appeared from nowhere, married one of the most powerful men in the country, and had now launched a medical foundation that had raised two million in a single evening. Nobody knew where she came from. Nobody could find anything before fourteen months ago. The questions were good ones, and they were going to keep coming, and I was prepared for that. I had been prepared for that since the night I chose the name in a recovery

She needed to figure out who she had been, and if there was even a chance of recovering the person she once was. With trembling fingers, she pried out the SIM card and inserted it into her new phone. The device hummed to life as it registered the chip. Her notifications flooded in messages, missed calls, and even some old photos, but it was the backups she needed most. Her fingers moved swiftly as she tapped through the apps and settings, pulling up the backups from her old phone. The process was slow, but as soon as it was done, the old photos, messages, and conversations from the past few months appeared on the screen.

She was getting tired of his tantrums already. He stared at her, his fury momentarily silenced by her calm defiance. “Whose side are you on?” Rachael shrugged lightly, walking toward the window. “Yours, as always. But I will admit, Cassie played it brilliantly. Even I underestimated her.” Raymond clenched his fists. “Don’t say her name.” Rachael turned, meeting his eyes. “You can’t erase her, Raymond. The world saw her today. She’s trending everywhere already... ‘The Comeback Queen.’ The woman you tried to destroy is now the face of your empire.”

Mr. Patrick talking over the mic, “Hello, Ladies and gentlemen? I hope you kids are having fun. Today, Mrs. Roseland and I are going to announce the Home Coming Queen and King. The Home Coming Queen is” everybody crossing their fingers and hope that they will become the queen, but Sara standing next to Aaron and didn't expect to be a homecoming queen. “Sara Khan.”

"Time for the queen to reclaim her throne." Under the cover of darkness, the wheels of her comeback began to turn. She contacted old friends, got in touch with new ones. Her presence began to be whispered about once more. Names began to resurface on lists, invitations were issued under an alias, and bank accounts long dormant became active with financial activity. The city did not know it as yet, but the woman they thought they had buried was coming back. Only this time, Natalie Evans wasn't going to fit into their world. She was going to dominate it.

she whispered and he smiled, a smug and satisfied look. “You would really get them back for me?” Adrian asked her and she shrugged. “I love you, it is the least I can do. I will make sure they pay,” she muttered and he nodded, he didn’t doubt her for a second. She was almost as sinister as he, if he got the story right, rumors had circulated that she had climbed a friend to obtain the little stardom and position in society she had. Cassandra Monroe, soon to be Hales, was the queen of sabotage here and he didn’t doubt her if she said she would get them back.

The nervous, apologetic woman who had tried so hard to be the perfect Blackwood wife was gone. She looked at the woman in the mirror, clad in flame-red silk, and she finally saw her. She saw the woman who had clawed her way back from the abyss, who had built an empire from the ashes of a broken heart. She was no longer just a survivor. She was a sovereign. The scared girl who had fled into the storm five years ago was finally, truly, gone. And a queen, ready to reclaim her kingdom, was staring back. ***

Robles immediately smiled and waved to the employees here as if he were an actor. "How do you feel?" I simply whispered to him. "Of course, it happened only once!" Robles answered. Tsk. "...and last but definitely not the least, Welcome to the Paradise Family Miss Claire Sydney Agustin!" I stared at the woman I hadn’t seen in six years. Her impact on me is still very strong, my heartbeat—nothing has changed, she still is, and she is the only one who can make it beat with such force. I felt my chest tightness when I saw her expressionless face. I also can't read the emotion in her eyes.

She bolted upright, grabbed a heavy silver candelabra from the nightstand, and hurled it straight at my face. Crack. "Are you deaf? I said kneel!" she shrieked, her voice shrill. "I am the future Dragon Queen! What are you? How dare you defy my orders?!" Blood welled from the cut, blurring my vision. I forced down the white-hot rage building in my chest and dropped to my knees. My compliance seemed to soothe her ego. She leaned back, exhaling a lazy breath. "I brought you all to this castle for one reason: so you can watch me take everything that belongs to me, step by step.
