"Heavy lies the head that wears the crown, just so happened that ours were cursed." Deyanira Valen was born into divine greatness destined to rule beside her husband. But tragedy struck when she found herself a widow on the receiving end of an axe. But she is given another shot at life when she is reborn into the modern world as Alexis Tyne where scheming nobles and impressionable subjects didn't exist. A world where she is no longer constrained by heavy responsibilities and is free to do as she wishes. This was why it was her hope that with a second chance, things could end better for her. And if she is lucky, she might find him in this time, too. When the moment comes that they meet, it's up to Alexis if she'll fight for the truth or let her guilt control her relationship with King Richard Castellane, or in this case, the billionaire Ellis Lane. Will they ever be together again, or will she let go of the past and let him live his present?

The CEO and His Royal Queen Chapter 1 Prologue

18th century

"The High Court has ruled Queen Deyanira III a murderer, traitor, and public enemy to the people of this nation. She is to be stripped of all her titles, and authority, and be deprived of her noble standing. She is no longer the ruler of the kingdom and shall not be allowed to carry His Majesty's name any longer."

"Deyanira Alexis Valen is to be put to death through the severing of her head from her body." The hall was devoid of gasps nor cheers. A solemn hush fell on everyone as the Chief Judge passed down the sentence.

But all eyes were on the woman in the center of it all. Despite the heavy punishment, her back kept its posture and her face revealed no hint of emotion. Whether it was her admittance of guilt or grasping for a final shred of dignity was up for debate.

All else was a blur to Deyanira, the only thing on her mind was him.

She placed her head on the block and with even breaths waited for her end.

"If there truly is anyone listening to the plea of an ailing widow, I plead with thee. Let me roam this earth until I find him and feel his embrace again. Please, just let me-"

REGINA MCBRIDE

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.
