Second Chance With The Obsessive CEO

Da Caomei Modern

“Stella Thorne was Manhattan's most naive heiress, infatuated with a man named Holden and completely trusting of her sweet step-sister, Emilie. She didn't know they were secretly plotting to destroy her. At the Vanity Fair gala, they orchestrated her public ruin, drugging her and framing her in a scandalous hotel setup with Axel Sterling, the ruthless predator of Wall Street. Believing Axel was the monster who ruined her, Stella publicly cursed him and became a disgraced pariah. Emilie and Holden stole her fortune and eventually locked her in a building, setting it on fire. As her skin melted, Emilie stood outside with a twisted smile. "Did you think dressing like a whore would get Holden's attention? He's proposing to me tonight." Until she burned to death, Stella couldn't forgive her own blindness. Why had she let those parasites destroy her? Why had she spent ten years hating Axel, the only man who had been framed alongside her, the only one who truly loved her? Opening her eyes, the phantom agony of the fire was gone. She was staring at her flawless, unscarred face in the mirror. She had rebirthed to the exact day of the gala. This time, instead of falling into their trap, Stella walked straight down the red carpet, grabbed the terrifying Axel Sterling by his lapels, and kissed him in front of a thousand flashing cameras.”
