"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?

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-"

I was at my own engagement party at the Sterling estate when the world started tilting. Victoria Sterling, my future mother-in-law, smiled coldly as she watched me struggle with a cup of tea that had been drugged to ruin me. Before I could find my fiancé, Ryan, a waiter dragged me into the forbidden West Wing and locked me in a room with Julian Sterling, the family’s "fallen titan" who had been confined to a wheelchair for years. The door burst open to a frenzy of camera flashes and theatrical screams. Victoria framed me as a seductress caught in the act, and Ryan didn't even try to listen to my pleas, calling me "cheap leftovers" before walking away with his pregnant mistress. When I turned to my own family for help, my father signed a document severing our relationship for a five-million-dollar payout from Julian. They traded me like a commodity without a second thought. I didn't understand why my own parents were so eager to sell me, or how Ryan could look at me with such disgust after promising me forever. I was a sacrifice, a pawn used to protect the family's offshore accounts, and I couldn't fathom how every person I loved had a price tag for my destruction. With nowhere left to go, I married Julian in a bleak ceremony at City Hall. He slid a heavy diamond onto my finger and whispered, "We have a war to start." That night, inside his secret penthouse, I watched the paralyzed man stand up from his wheelchair and activate a screen filled with the Sterling family's darkest secrets. The execution had officially begun.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
