When betrayal shatters his perfect life, noble heir Kaelan Thorne finds refuge in a humble tavern-and in Ivy, a fiery waitress with magic in her veins. But love in Eldoria comes at a cost. To protect her, Kaelan must confront his past, defy the elite, and risk everything for a future built on truth, not legacy.

Chapter 1 The Illusion of Perfection

In the heart of Eldoria, where shimmering towers pierced the skies and magic flowed through every street, Kaelan Thorne stood at the threshold of a life others envied. His engagement party dazzled with wealth and prestige, hosted in the grand ballroom of the Thorne Estate. Enchanted chandeliers floated above, casting twinkling lights that danced across walls of marble and mirrors. Velvet-draped tables brimmed with delicacies from across the realm, and orchestral harmonies enchanted the air.

Kaelan wore the polished smile of nobility, his tailored suit glimmering beneath the magical glow. Seraphina, his bride-to-be, moved like a vision across the floor, her sapphire-threaded gown sparkling like starlight. To all, they looked perfect-envy of the kingdom, heirs to a legacy of power and influence. But inside, Kaelan felt hollow.

Each toast and congratulatory nod rang false. The weight of expectations bore down like a crown of iron. Needing air, he slipped into the moonlit courtyard, hoping for clarity. There, hidden behind a rose-laced hedge, he heard hushed voices. Seraphina stood close to Lysander-his oldest friend-her hand pressed to his chest. "Soon, he'll be too distracted to notice, and we can finally have what we want," she whispered. Lysande's low chuckle was the final blow.

Kaelan turned away, heart shattering. The illusion of perfection dissolved in that moment, replaced by the cold sting of betrayal. Love, he realized, was not gilded promises-it was truth. And his had just been shattered.

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.
