As Eliana navigates the treacherous world of the castle, she finds herself drawn to the king's charismatic presence and his hidden vulnerabilities.

Will they find a way to be together, or will the conflicts between their kingdoms tear them apart?

Chapter 1 CAPTURE

The battle-scarred landscape of Eldrone lay in ruins as Princess Eliana fought alongside her soldiers. The once-lush fields were now trampled and burned, the air thick with the smell of smoke and sweat. Despite their bravery, they were vastly outnumbered by the dark kingdom of Malakar's forces.

Eliana's magic faltered as she cast spell after spell, her energy waning. She stumbled, her vision blurring, and felt a blow to her head. Everything went dark.

When Eliana came to, she was disoriented and groggy. She tried to sit up, but a wave of pain washed over her, forcing her to lie back down. She was in a cold, damp cell deep within Malakar's castle. The walls were made of rough-hewn stone, and the air was musty and dank.

As she struggled to remember how she got there, the door creaked open, and a figure entered. Eliana's eyes adjusted to the dim light, and she saw King Kael standing before her. His piercing gaze unnerved her, and she felt a shiver run down her spine.

"Welcome, Princess," Kael said, his voice low and husky. "I see you're awake. You'll be pleased to know that you're not seriously injured."

Eliana's anger flared as she remembered the battle. "You'll pay for this, Kael," she spat, trying to sit up again. "My people will not be silenced."

Kael's expression remained calm, but his eyes seemed to gleam with amusement. "I'm not concerned about your people, Princess," he said. "I'm concerned about you. You're a valuable asset, and I intend to use you to my advantage."

Eliana's eyes narrowed. "You'll never break me," she said, her voice steady.

Kael's smile grew wider. "We'll see about that," he said, turning to leave. "You have a lot to learn about being a prisoner, Princess."

As the door closed behind him, Eliana felt a surge of determination. She would not be broken. She would escape, and she would make sure that Kael paid for his arrogance.

The days passed slowly, with Eliana being fed meager rations and subjected to harsh treatment. But she refused to give up. She plotted her escape, using every trick she knew to gather information and wait for the perfect moment to strike.

As she sat in her cell, Eliana's thoughts turned to her kingdom and her people. She wondered if they were safe, if they were fighting back against Malakar's aggression. She knew she had to escape, not just for herself, but for the sake of her kingdom.

The sound of footsteps outside her cell interrupted her thoughts. The door opened, and a guard entered. "Time for your daily exercise, Princess," he said, his voice gruff.

Eliana stood up, her eyes locked on the guard. She would play along, for now, but she was waiting for her chance to strike.

As she walked out of her cell, Eliana caught a glimpse of Kael standing in the corridor. Their eyes met, and for a moment, she felt a spark of connection. But she pushed it aside, focusing on her goal: escape.

The exercise yard was cold and unforgiving, the wind whipping through Eliana's hair as she walked. She was surrounded by high walls, topped with barbed wire and guarded by Malakar's soldiers.

As she walked, Eliana noticed a figure watching her from the shadows. It was a woman, tall and imposing, with piercing green eyes. Eliana felt a shiver run down her spine as the woman's gaze seemed to bore into her very soul.

"Who are you?" Eliana asked, trying to keep her voice steady.

The woman stepped forward, her movements fluid. "I am Lyra, one of King Kael's advisors," she said. "And you, Princess, are a very interesting captive."

Eliana's eyes narrowed. "What do you want from me?" she asked.

Lyra's smile was enigmatic. "Oh, I think we can help each other, Princess," she said. "But for now, let's just say that I'm watching you. Very closely."

As Eliana returned to her cell, she couldn't shake the feeling that Lyra's words were more than just a threat. They were a promise, a promise of something more to come.

And Eliana was ready. She would play the game, but she would play it on her own terms. She would escape, and she would make sure that Kael paid for his arrogance.

The darkness of her cell seemed to close in around her, but Eliana's spirit remained unbroken. She would not be defeated. She would rise again, stronger and more determined than ever.

The question was, what would be the cost of her freedom? And would she be willing to pay it?

As the days turned into weeks, Eliana's determination to escape only grew stronger. She spent every waking moment thinking of ways to break free from her prison, to outsmart her captors and make her way back to Eldrador. But every plan she came up with seemed to have a flaw, a weakness that would lead to her capture and punishment.

One day, as she was walking in the exercise yard, Eliana saw Lyra again. The advisor was standing by the wall, watching her with an intensity that made Eliana's skin crawl.

"You're a fascinating study, Princess," Lyra said, her voice low and husky. "You have a fire in you that's hard to find in people these days."

Eliana's eyes narrowed. "What do you want from me?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.

Lyra smiled, her eyes glinting in the sunlight. "Oh, I think we can help each other, Princess," she said. "You see, I have certain...reservations about King Kael's plans for you. And I think you might be willing to listen to an alternative."

Eliana's curiosity was piqued. She had heard rumors of divisions within Malakar's court, of advisors who disagreed with Kael's brutal tactics. Could Lyra be one of them?

"What kind of alternative?" Eliana asked, trying to sound cautious.

Lyra's smile grew wider. "Let's just say that I have a plan that could benefit both of us," she said. "But it would require trust, and a willingness to take risks."

Eliana hesitated, unsure of what to do. Part of her wanted to trust Lyra, to believe that she could help her escape. But another part of her was wary, remembering the dangers of trusting anyone in Malakar's court.

As she stood there, weighing her options, Eliana felt a presence behind her. She turned to see King Kael standing in the doorway, his eyes fixed on her with an intensity that made her heart skip a beat.

"Princess Eliana," he said, his voice low and husky. "I see you're enjoying the exercise yard. But I fear our conversation is at an end. You have a visitor."

Eliana's heart sank. A visitor? Who could it be? She hadn't seen anyone from Eldrador since her capture.

As Kael turned to leave, Eliana saw a figure standing behind him. It was a man, tall and imposing, with piercing blue eyes that seemed to bore into her very soul.

"Ah, Princess," the man said, his voice dripping with malice. "It's been a long time."

Eliana's eyes widened as she recognized the man. It was Lord Ravenswood, one of Eldrador's own nobles. But what was he doing here? And why did he look at her with such hatred in his eyes?

"Lord Ravenswood," she said, trying to keep her voice steady. "What brings you to Malakar's court?"

Ravenswood's smile was cold and calculating. "I've come to make a deal, Princess," he said. "A deal that could change the course of our kingdom's history."

Eliana's heart sank. What kind of deal could Ravenswood possibly be making? And what did it have to do with her?

As she stood there, frozen in uncertainty, Eliana knew that her fate was about to take a dramatic turn. And she wasn't sure if she would be able to survive the consequences.

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.
