On the first day of school, my childhood sweetheart boyfriend, Xander Harris, took me to school, but we met a two-faced roommate. She flattered him, praising his exceptional maturity for his age. Yet, she accused me of being vain, carrying a knock-off designer bag, and creating a rich persona. As I tidied my bed, she dramatically gasped. "Wasn't that wealthy older benefactor who accompanied you yesterday supposed to rent you a place near campus? What happened? Did he change his mind?" When she learned that my boyfriend and I planned to marry right after graduation, she shouted loud, "You can't be serious! Are there still gold diggers who want to get something for nothing and rely on men?" Inside, I was laughing hysterically. Wealthy older benefactor? That was my dad! And my boyfriend? Just the son of my dad's driver.

Chapter 1

On the first day of school, my childhood sweetheart boyfriend, Xander Harris, took me to school, but we met a two-faced roommate.

She flattered him, praising his exceptional maturity for his age.

Yet, she accused me of being vain, carrying a knock-off designer bag, and creating a rich persona.

As I tidied my bed, she dramatically gasped. "Wasn't that wealthy older benefactor who accompanied you yesterday supposed to rent you a place near campus? What happened? Did he change his mind?"

When she learned that my boyfriend and I planned to marry right after graduation, she shouted loud, "You can't be serious! Are there still gold diggers who want to get something for nothing and rely on men?"

Inside, I was laughing hysterically.

Wealthy older benefactor? That was my dad!

And my boyfriend? Just the son of my dad's driver.

...

On the first day of my college, Xander accompanied me for registration.

He had just earned my parents' approval, and it was time for him to make a good impression.

He dressed in the outfit I recently gifted him from our tailor, and my dad even specially approved a Maybach for me and had Xander be responsible for my transportation throughout college.

Upon arriving at the school, I headed to the dormitory to greet my roommates, concerned that someone might be changing clothes, making it awkward for Xander to come up later.

To my surprise, the dorm door was wide open, yet the room was empty.

As I was about to toss my bag onto a bed I felt drawn to, a harsh voice sounded from the doorway, "What are you doing? That's my bed!"

I turned to see a woman standing angrily by the door.

I thought I had nearly claimed her bed, so I walked over and apologized, "Sorry, I thought this bed was unoccupied."

Unexpectedly, she slapped my hand away and looked me up and down with disdain, finally fixing her gaze on my bag. "Good thing you didn't throw your bag on it. I'm picky, and if a knock-off designer bag touches my bed, I'll have nightmares."

A knock-off designer bag?

This bag was a new arrival from the boutique, delivered personally by the salesperson. Yet she called it fake?

"My bag is the real deal. You're carrying a fake one around and creating a rich persona?" She said, flaunting her bag in front of me before quickly pulling it back.

"Get out of my way! I don't want your poverty and bad luck rubbing off on me." With that, she swung her bag onto her shoulder and pushed past me, bumping my shoulder.

I forced myself to keep calm and took deep breaths.

However, I couldn't take it anymore.

Just as I was about to roll up my sleeves and grab her hair from behind, my phone rang.

It was my dad calling, reminding me to learn to live harmoniously with others, as this was the first test on my journey to becoming an heir.

Returning to the dorm, I saw Xander had come up at some point, awkwardly dealing with that woman's flattery. "Hello, sir. Are you here to drop off your sister at school? I'm Erika Jones, also in this dorm.

Let me help you with your luggage. I'm not like other women who are pampered. I came by myself. Sir, your outfit is leagues above the guys I know. You must come from a good family, right?"

Erika enthusiastically took the bag from Xander's hand, and while pulling it, she deliberately rubbed her chest against Xander's arm.

I watched Xander blush in his tailored outfit, recalling Erika's unapologetic disdain for the poor, and started to understand her.

I stood aside with great interest until Xander noticed me. He took a few steps back reflexively, like a drowning man who suddenly grabbed a lifebuoy. "Corrine, you're here."

I was tracing the gold paint on my own tombstone when a hand tapped me on the shoulder. It was Clayton. The same man who, five years ago, had left me bleeding out in a ditch because he didn't want to be late for my sister’s engagement party. "Die quietly, Ivy," he had said over the phone before hanging up. Now, standing over my grave, he dropped his cheap plastic flowers in shock. "Ivy? You're... we buried you." They hadn't buried me. They had buried an empty box to save face, mourning a "troubled" daughter they had actually discarded like broken trash the moment I became a liability. Clayton’s shock quickly turned to that familiar, arrogant anger. He accused me of faking my death for attention. He told me I was sick for putting the family through such pain. He even reached out to grab my arm, intending to drag me back to my father to apologize. "You're coming with me," he spat. "You owe us an explanation." But he made a fatal mistake. He thought he was talking to Ivy Dillard, the soft girl who cried when she skinned her knees. He didn't notice the town car waiting at the curb, or the man stepping out of it. Before Clayton’s fingers could graze my coat, a hand made of steel caught his wrist. Collin Richardson, the most feared Capo in Chicago, stepped between us. "Touch my wife again," Collin whispered, his voice promising violence. "And you lose the hand." I smiled at the terror draining the color from Clayton's face. I didn't come back from the dead to explain myself. I came back to bury them.

"And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.

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.
