My Online Lover is A Ruthless Billionaire
“Dayla Stanford thought she had everything a woman could wish for: a wealthy family, a fiancé she loved, and a future she believed was secure. She was wrong. After her father's death, Dayla inherited most of his properties and wealth. But her fortune became a curse when her fiancé and stepsister conspired to take everything from her. Their betrayal ended with Dayla being burned alive, leaving her to die with one regret: trusting the wrong people. But death was not the end. Dayla wakes up one year in the past, with every memory of her painful death still fresh in her mind. This time, she will protect her younger brother, secure her inheritance, and make the two people who destroyed her pay for their betrayal. There is only one person who has ever listened to her without judging her, her mysterious online friend, L.C. She has shared her deepest secrets with him, never imagining that he is Luthur Chris, a ruthless billionaire she has rejected in real life. In her first life, Luthur was the only person who attended her burial. Now Dayla has a second chance to change her destiny, but can she trust the man she once pushed away? And what will happen when she discovers that the stranger who knows her heart is the billionaire everyone fears? This time, Dayla will fight for her future. But she might discover that the love she needs has been waiting for her all along.”
