Betrayed by her ex, Camila woke bound and dumped on a cursed ship, bloodied and shaken. Dylan cut through the gloom like a flare on open water. "If you want to live, come with me," he said. Gritting her teeth, she forced her body to move and stayed at his heels. After that night, she hovered at his side like a shadow. Trouble erupted when her ex's memory snapped back and obsession followed. That day, Dylan, normally cool, shattered a priceless antique, seized her waist, and kissed her hard. "Forget him. Whatever you want is yours." She challenged him. "Even your life?" He rasped, "Then it's yours."

Eternal Desire: Risking My Heart On My Devilish Savior Chapter 1 Engagement Party

An hour remained before her ex-boyfriend's engagement ceremony.

Camila Stewart stood at the dressing room threshold, staring at the two figures tangled together inside.

Their ragged breaths filled the air, thick with intimacy, and a chill seeped into her chest, numbing her heart.

Pressing her lips into a thin line, she forced her emotions down, refusing to let them surface.

"Ah! Someone's out there!"

A sharp, startled cry shattered the silence.

Camila froze mid-step, still processing the scene, when a furious, strikingly handsome face swung toward her.

"Camila? What the hell are you doing here?" Behind the man, the woman straightened hastily, clutching her half-draped gown as she stepped up beside him, eyes flashing with alarm.

Camila tightened her grip on the bag, her lips pressed into a thin line as she gave them a faint shake. "I'm working part-time as a delivery driver now. And as it happens, this address is listed as my drop-off point."

There was no lie in her words.

Her appearance here today was pure coincidence.

After deciding to leave the past behind, Camila had vowed never to look back.

Aydan Hewitt's brows knitted, his eyes flickering with sharp disdain. "Camila, you're absolutely pathetic."

To him, her explanation was nothing but another weak excuse.

A tremor ran through Camila's fingertips as the sting of his words cut deep, but she refused to let it show.

Meeting his gaze squarely, she took a steady breath and said softly, "I'm sorry if my being here offends you."

Her voice carried no tremor, only a quiet strength that sliced sharper than anger.

The delivery slip indeed pointed to the dressing room door-yet apart from Aydan and Zoie Butcher, not a single soul occupied the space.

Pulling her eyes away from Aydan, Camila lifted her phone and dialed the number printed on the delivery slip.

The call connected after a few rings, and she quietly confirmed the address.

Roughly five minutes later, a tall, lean man strode down the hallway toward them, his steps brisk and apologetic.

"Sorry about that-I entered the wrong address," he said, accepting the food bag from her hands.

Zoie tightened her grip around Aydan's arm, her lips curling into a mocking smile. "Camila, are you seriously doing food deliveries now?" Her tone dripped with scorn, her gaze sweeping over Camila as though she were something pitiable.

It was obvious what she wanted to say-without Aydan, Camila was nothing.

With a faint chill in his tone, Aydan's voice carried a subtle edge. "I seem to recall giving you a considerable sum before we parted ways."

In his mind, he'd already fulfilled every obligation. The money had been generous-more than enough for an orphan like Camila to live in comfort for the rest of her days.

Camila's lips curved faintly, though her eyes drifted toward Zoie, who clung possessively to Aydan's arm.

Zoie's gaze shimmered with mock curiosity. "Camila, don't tell me you burned through all that money already?"

Before Camila could speak, Zoie released a delicate laugh. "Some people just can't keep hold of wealth, no matter how much they're given. Aydan, maybe you should have her escorted out. Who knows what she's plotting-she might be here to wreck our engagement."

Lowering his eyes, Aydan softened instantly at Zoie's words, his expression turning tender.

The sight struck Camila like a blade.

Her face blanched, but she clenched her fists at her sides, swallowing the surge of pain and forcing her composure to hold.

"That won't be necessary. I know how to walk out on my own."

Turning her eyes away, she pivoted toward the staircase without hesitation.

Zoie stiffened at the calm dismissal, and then hastily let go of Aydan's hand and stepped forward, unwilling to let Camila retreat so easily.

"Wait." Zoie suddenly caught Camila's wrist, her nails grazing lightly against the skin.

Camila stopped, turning back with composure. "Miss Butcher, is there something you need?" She gently but firmly pulled her hand free.

A sly smile curved Zoie's lips. "Since you're already here, why not stay and celebrate with us?"

Camila studied her for a moment, voice cool and even. "Miss Butcher, are you sure you want your fiance's ex-girlfriend attending your engagement?"

Zoie arched a brow, amusement flickering in her eyes. "So you don't want to?"

That smug tone stoked a quiet spark in Camila's chest.

She had planned to leave quietly-but suddenly, she didn't feel like walking away anymore.

"Alright," she said softly, her gaze steady.

Zoie's intentions couldn't have been clearer, but whatever she had planned wasn't going to unfold the way she expected.

Camila's expression turned serene as she lowered her eyes, her composure masking a quiet resolve.

Aydan's gaze lingered on her, a faint crease forming between his brows as an unfamiliar unease stirred within him.

The sensation flickered and vanished when Zoie suddenly leapt into his arms.

Holding her close, he asked in a gentle voice, "Why the sudden change of mind? Weren't you just about to throw her out?"

Zoie rested her head on his chest, her tone syrupy sweet. "I've changed my mind for a good reason, Aydan. I want her to stay and see how blissful we are, so she'll finally stop clinging to the past."

Her coquettish act softened him instantly. He brushed a hand over her hair with indulgent affection. "Fine."

From a few steps away, Camila watched the scene unfold-Aydan's tender gaze, Zoie's possessive smile. Though her heart had grown numb, the old ache flared anew, sharp and relentless.

Step by step, she descended the stairs, her emotions twisting in silence.

The man before her no longer resembled the Aydan she once knew. The version she loved had disappeared with the car accident; what remained was a stranger wearing his face.

With a faint curve tugging at her lips, Camila halted and turned toward the dimly lit backstage.

Pulling out her phone, she swiftly transferred the photos she'd taken with Aydan onto the computer linked to the venue's massive display, and then reached for the remote control with steady hands.

The backstage area lay deserted at that moment-no one around to question or stop her.

Half an hour later, the engagement banquet unfolded in full splendor.

From a quiet corner, Camila watched the glittering couple bask in admiration under the spotlight. Her expression unreadable, she tightened her grip on the small remote control and then pressed the button.

A crisp click echoed, and a heartbeat later, the giant screen's lights blinked out, plunging the stage into sudden darkness.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband's Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn't find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn't even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father's legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn's party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara's health and managing every detail of Caden's empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I'd drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause-if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I'd forgotten.

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.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

For seven years, I drank the bitter tonic my fiancé, Alpha Adrian, gave me, believing it would cure my "wolfless" defect. I was wrong. It was poison. He wasn't trying to heal me; he was keeping me weak so he could replace me with my foster sister, Ariel. When the fire consumed the Alpha's Wing, I was trapped under a burning beam, my legs crushed. Adrian kicked down the door. I reached out to him, screaming for help. But he didn't look at me. He looked at Ariel, who was lying on the floor in a silk nightgown. He scooped her up, cradling her like she was the only thing that mattered. I begged him not to leave me. Instead of helping, he used his Alpha Command on me, his voice booming with supernatural weight. "Stay put! I'll be back for you!" It was a lie. He used his power to freeze me in the inferno and left me to burn alive. I survived, only to watch him publicly reject me for her the next day, with my own father's blessing. They called me a "genetic dead end." They thought I would crawl away and die in shame. I didn't. I limped up the mountain to the Neutral Lands to find the one man everyone fears-the exiled Alpha, Garth Morgan. "I have the Gamma Bloodline Scroll," I told the massive figure emerging from the shadows. "I don't want your gratitude," Garth growled, his eyes like storm clouds. "I'm not here for gratitude," I replied, staring him down. "I'm here to make a deal with the devil."
