The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match
Charlie, Serena’s fiancé, had burst into my bedroom, drunk and furious with blazing eyes.
"She’s gone because of you," he had roared, his voice cracking with a pain that I had never seen before. He had grabbed my arm, his grip bruising my skin as he dragged me roughly toward the mirror. "Look at yourself, Evelyn. You have her face, her hair, her eyes. But you’re the one who ruined her. You’re the reason she can't walk, and now you’re the reason she’s vanished." "You are only in this house because you look like her," he hissed, his eyes boring coldly into mine. "You are a placeholder and that’s what you will always be. You stay here to suffer because that is the only value you have left. Your parents were right about you. You were always the mistake they couldn't fix."
_____________
Evelyn was the family’s black sheep, while Serena, her sister, was the family’s salvation. She was forced to marry the man who hated her to pay for a crime she didn't commit.
For years, Charlie made her life a living hell to avenge her sister's legs. But when the paralyzed sister returns walking and Charlie demands a divorce, Evelyn signs the papers and vanishes with a secret. Five years later, she’s back not as a victim, but as the CEO who owns his rival company. Charlie, realizing Serena is the true villain, wants a second chance but it’s too late.

Chapter: Chapter Seventy ThreeJulianI could tell she was desperate to speak to me. I deliberately acted as though I hadn't noticed, but I saw every attempt because I wanted her to need me.For three days, she had lingered at the edges of every room, finding excuses to walk past wherever I was. She always paused a little too long before turning away whenever I failed to acknowledge her.I made sure to keep my distance.Every morning, I took Leo to breakfast myself. I asked about his dreams, his favorite cartoons, or whatever happened to be on his mind, giving him my full attention while Evelyn sat across the table receiving nothing more than a polite nod."Uncle Julian, do you want to see my drawing?" Leo asked one morning, sliding a sheet of paper across the table."Show me everything," I replied, leaning forward.Evelyn watched us quietly, saying nothing.Neither did I.The separate room had been intentional. The staff had been briefed before she even arrived, and I knew exactly what that small detail would do t

Chapter: Chapter Seventy Two SerenaI needed to reach Frank somehow. Sitting in that house with nothing to occupy my hands was becoming unbearable, especially knowing Evelyn was still out there breathing.It had been almost a week."So Julian still hasn't brought her to me," I muttered to the empty room as I paced the length of the sitting room. "A whole week, and I'm supposed to sit here waiting for everything to fall into place so I can finally get my life back?"I needed something to keep myself busy.I began searching through the cabinets in the study, opening one drawer after another. I wasn't looking for anything in particular. I simply needed something to do.That was when I found a folder tucked against the back of the bottom drawer.I pulled it out and opened it.Inside were documents, photographs, and an investigation report with a name printed clearly across the top.Leo Hart.I lowered myself onto the chair and turned the pages slowly.There were photographs of a little boy, paperwork comparing date

Chapter: Chapter Seventy OneCharlieI didn't know why it had taken me this long to notice it.Even if it would cost the last drop of my blood, I would make sure Evelyn and my child were safe, I would make right every wrong and every hurt I created with Serena, no matter what it took."I'll get her somewhere safe, no matter what," I murmured, scrolling through my contacts.I called the first Airbnb that came to mind. I had used it before for visiting executives. It was quiet, private, and usually available."I'm sorry, sir," the woman on the phone apologized. "We're fully booked for the next three weeks."I called another."Fully booked, sir."The third gave me exactly the same answer.I dropped the phone onto the dashboard and covered my face with both hands.Every closed door felt like Serena getting one step closer.A hotel wasn't an option. Anyone with enough determination and enough money could find out which room Evelyn was staying in. Security only went so far, and Serena had already proven she was willing

Chapter: Chapter SeventyEvelyn I had finally conquered my fear and called him. For a moment, I feared his rejection more than anything else. But he had come. Now all I had to do was be ready. I moved through the house with Amanda close behind me, checking every room to make sure everything that needed to stay remained in place while everything coming with us was packed and accounted for. "Is Leo's bag ready?" I asked. "Yes, ma'am. I packed it last night," she answered. "His medication?" "It's in the front pocket." "My documents? The red folder?" "In your carry bag, ma'am. Left-side zip." I stopped in the hallway and turned to her. "Amanda, are you certain everything is there?" She nodded without hesitation. "Everything is in order, ma'am." Satisfied, I walked to the front door and called for the head security guard. He appeared within seconds. "Ma'am?" "I'm going to be away for some time," I explained. "I need you and your team to remain on this property. I don't want the house sitting empty.

Chapter: Chapter Sixty NineJulian It had been a few days since I called her. I had waited and waited, but my patience was beginning to wear thin. I needed to get this over with. I sat at my desk, staring at my phone. For the fourth time that morning, I told myself I wasn't going to call her. The plan depended on her coming to me. Desperation only worked when the other person was the desperate one. Three days of silence, however, was beginning to feel less like strategy and more like defeat. I picked up my phone, then set it back down. "Has she left the city?" I muttered. I pulled my laptop closer, opened a browser, and typed her name into the search bar. It was a habit born from equal parts paranoia and restlessness. The results were exactly the same as they had been two days earlier. Nothing new, no sightings, no public announcements. Just old articles about Hart-Willy, coverage of the gala, and a brief report on the warehouse incident that identified her as the victim without revealing where she was.

Chapter: Chapter Sixty EightSerena Everything was starting to fall into place. I just needed to make Frank believe I was completely committed to him and would never turn against him. Three days in this house, and the walls already felt like they were closing in. I woke that morning with a headache and a craving for juice and cookies. I opened my mouth to call for someone, then stopped. There was nobody to call. No staff, no housekeeper, nobody. Just me, four walls, and the unsettling silence of a house that had never truly been lived in. "Are you serious?" I muttered, pushing myself off the couch and heading for the kitchen. "I'm a fugitive, and I can't even get someone to bring me a glass of juice. This is what my life has become." I found the juice in the refrigerator and the cookies in the cabinet above the counter. Carrying them back to the sitting room, I dropped onto the couch with all the frustration of a woman deeply offended by her own circumstances. I switched on the television. My face filled

In love with my StepSon
On her eighteenth birthday, Melissa expected a fated mate bond and a future as Luna. Instead, she received a public humiliation that shattered her soul. Her childhood sweetheart, Kelan, rejected her for her best friend, and her own family sold her to the highest bidder like livestock, to Alpha Draven the Demon of Dark Moon Valley. He is a man twice her age, a tyrant who bought Melissa to break a dark bloodline curse. He expects an obedient pawn and a submissive wife.
He didn't expect a strategist. From the shadows of Draven’s stone fortress, Melissa begins a cold-blooded campaign of revenge. She isn't just surviving; she’s siphoning wealth, buying up her ex-mate's debts, and plotting a coup. But her plan hits a deadly snag when she touches Briston, the Alpha’s son and heir. The spark is undeniable. The Moon Goddess has played a cruel joke and Melissa is fated to the son of the man who owns her.

Chapter: Chapter Forty-FiveMelissaI woke to the sound of muffled voices and the sharp smell of herbs that made my nose wrinkle. My eyes fluttered open and I found myself staring up at an unfamiliar ceiling. White plaster with wooden beams running across it. Not my chambers."She's waking up," someone said softly.I turned my head slowly and saw the pack healer standing beside a narrow bed with her hands clasped in front of her apron. Draven stood near the window with his back to me and his shoulders tense. Briston was positioned by the door with Delilah beside him and both of them were watching me with varying expressions of concern."What happened?" I croaked while trying to sit up.The healer rushed forward and placed a gentle hand on my shoulder."Easy Luna," she instructed. "You fainted during breakfast. You've been unconscious for nearly an hour."An hour? I had been out for an entire hour.Draven turned from the window and crossed the room toward me with quick strides. He sat on the edge of the bed and t

Chapter: Chapter Forty-FourMelissaThe past few weeks had settled into a strange rhythm that felt both dangerous and intoxicating. During the day I sat beside Draven at council meetings while he discussed pack business with his advisors. He treated me like fragile glass now, careful not to be too rough, asking if I needed anything, making sure the servants attended to my every need."Luna Melissa, would you like more water?" one of the maids would whisper."The Luna needs a cushion for her back," Draven would order without even asking me first.I played the part perfectly. Nodding when expected. Smiling at appropriate moments. Sitting next to him when required and making suggestions when permitted.But at night when Draven finally fell into his deep sleep, I would slip out of our chambers and make my way through the dark corridors to find Briston waiting for me in whatever hidden corner of the fortress we had agreed upon.The library became our sanctuary. We would meet there after midnight and talk in hushed vo

Chapter: Chapter Forty-ThreeBristonI woke up with Melissa's scent still clinging to my sheets and the memory of last night burning through my mind like fire. Every touch, every kiss, every moment she had been mine played on repeat until I had to force myself out of bed just to clear my head.I walked to the window and stared out at the training grounds while my wolf Gorne paced restlessly inside me. We had claimed our mate properly last night. Marked her in every way except the one that would make it permanent and visible to the entire pack.My phone buzzed on the nightstand and I grabbed it quickly. A message from Athen lit up the screen."Need to talk, usual spot in one hour."I dressed quickly and made my way out of the pack house through the side entrance I had been using to avoid my father. The drive to the cafe took less than twenty minutes and when I arrived Athen was already waiting at our corner booth with two cups of coffee sitting on the table.I slid into the seat across from him and he studied my f

Cindy sat to my right looking radiant in a deep burgundy gown with her hair arranged in an elaborate style. Valor stood near the back wall with his arms crossed and his expression unreadable."Thank you all for coming," I began as I placed my hands on the table. "I've called this emergency meeting to announce an important decision that will help restore our pack's prosperity."Cindy reached over and squeezed my hand encouragingly. I smiled at her before turning back to the council."After careful consideration and consultation with my great minds," I continued while gesturing toward Cindy, "I have decided that all women in our pack will no longer hold positions in the corporate sector. Instead they will be reassigned to agricultural work in the farms and fields where their labor can directly contribute to our foo

Chapter: Chapter Forty-OneMelissaI stopped fighting, I surged up on my toes, still pinned by his hand, and claimed his mouth again.The kiss was fire and honey. I poured every unspoken ache into it, every lonely night, every stolen glance, every time I felt hollow in Draven’s bed. Briston groaned against my lips, and his grip on my wrists loosened just enough for me to twist free. My hands found his face, holding him to me as I deepened the kiss He shuddered. Then, in one fluid motion, he scooped me up, his arms were around my thighs and I wrapped my legs around his waist instinctively. He carried me to the bed in three strides and dropped me onto the furs. I yanked my robe open while he tore his shirt off. My hands attacked his belt, shoving his pants down. His thick cock sprang free, heavy and leaking. I wrapped my fingers around it and stroked, loving the way he hissed and thrust into my fist.“Fuck, Melissa,” he groaned.I pulled him down on top of me. His mouth found my tits immediately, sucking har

Chapter: Chapter FortyMelissaIt had been a few days since Briston walked out of the council chamber without acknowledging me and the distance between us had only grown wider. Every time I passed him in the hallways he was deep in conversation with Athen or standing too close to Delilah while they discussed pack matters I wasn't privy to.I tried not to notice. I tried not to care.But Mia whined constantly in the back of my mind and pulled at the mate bond until my chest ached with a pain I couldn't explain away as bruised ribs or exhaustion.Today I walked past the library and heard voices drifting through the partially open door. I slowed my steps and glanced inside. Briston stood by the window with his arms crossed while Delilah sat in one of the leather chairs with maps spread across her lap. She pointed to something on the parchment and he leaned down to look closer. His hand rested on the back of her chair and she smiled up at him like he had just said something clever.The sight made my stomach twi

Chapter: Chapter 271: The First CommandThe dining room of the Blackwood mansion had been its pride always. Below the chandeliers of imported crystal was a long mahogany table. It had been the home of deals, the home of impressions, the home of Samuel Blackwood, king of his loyal retinue, as decades had passed. However, the air was not like this night. Leya was at the table-end. Not as a guest. Not as an intruder. As the host. The mahogany under her hand was hers, the chandeliers shone back on her. All the servants in the room were walking about with contracted shoulders, and in low whispering glances, since they were all aware whose name was on the deeds and papers in the vault. Samuel was sitting three chairs down, not head any longer. His jaws were so tight that his vein in his temple ached. He had been kept silent three days, three days of her re-orienting his house about herself. Now the silence broke. “Eleanor. Vivian.” There was a clink of dishwares broken by the voice of Leya. Her hand was not raised in gratit

Chapter: Chapter 270: The Weight of AshesThe atmosphere of the Blackwood mansion had been filled with millions of polish and perfume, fresh-cut roses in crystal vases and so forth. It smelled now of smoke, not of actual fire, but of the smoke which remains after a shipwreck. The air was thick with defeat.Samuel sat despondently in the study looking upon an empire that now no longer took care of him. Several hours had passed before he touched his bourbon. All his eyes were red and his hands trembling on the desk. The manuscripts in his presence were not his, and had been gilted with seals, of which he had not given the issue. Ownership transfers. Legal notices. One was called by a name which turned his stomach:Leya Anderson.The woman whom he had buried in hatred. The reverted woman had entered to be his executioner.As the door creaked Samuel did not raise his head. He knew the footsteps. He knew the silence.“Samuel.”Her tones were very low, and yet like a knife.Leya entered the room, with no more haste, letting her red

Chapter: Chapter 269: The New RulesThe silence that followed the fall of Samuel was deafening. The physique of a man whose voice could make statutes in the halls seemed almost obscene. Eleanor dropped on her knees by him, and her hands shook as she attempted to raise him.“Samuel!” Her cry cracked like glass. She shook him, desperately, but he groaned, and said, holding his chest.Doctor! she screamed to the servants. “Call the doctor, now!”No one moved. All the maids and all the butlers and all the guards all turned their eyes upon Leya.And Leya did not nod.She just walked out, clicking with her heels on the marble. The echo was more authoritative than the cane of Samuel.New rules, she said, in a low but immovable voice, have been made in this house.Eleanor threw up her head, and her eyes were wild. “You witch! You caused this! You—”The hand of Leya flicked and two bodyguards went on. The cold metal flashed as they brought up their weapons. The words Eleanor was saying choked in her throat.Vivian, who was stand

Chapter: Chapter 268: The Disconnection of the Patriarch.Samuel’s roar filled the hall. “Out! Out of my house!” With his cane he struck the marble so forcefully that it rang along the rafters. His voice, which was iron, is now frayed like old rope. Leya didn’t flinch. She stood motionlessly with a wall of her bodyguards behind her. The defendant, the judge, the courtroom, all of this was transformed into a courtroom by them, with Samuel at the stand and her at the bench. My house now, she thought, now. “Lies!” He took another step staggering, red creeping up his neck. Fraud, imposture, witchcraft-” his hands trembled as he picked up one of the papers on the table and he was about to rip it to pieces. Leya smiled coldly. “Rip them. Please. Each scrap you scrap only goes to show how desperate you are. And I have thirty more, Samuel. Thirty nails for your coffin.” The cavernous words were sharper than a blade. His hand froze midair. Slowly, it dropped. Vivian moved up, eyes shining, whispering like venom. Father... perhaps it is tru

Chapter: Chapter 267: The Papers of RuinThe stillness in the great hall was long enough to discolour. There were dust-mites in the chandelier light, wait-girls embraced one another in the window-dressing-bays, and the Blackwoods were standing still on the great staircase like marble below their feet.Leya let it linger. She had waited years to see this, now why hurry?Finally, she looked up. Her gaze found Samuel first.“Samuel Blackwood.” Her voice was deep, monotonous, every word slicing the air as a blade. You ought to have interred me stiffer.Samuel blushed, and it seemed to him as though the name had been an indictment rather than a name. I spit, you killed me, and the words were tremulous. “I buried you myself—”No, she interfered, going still deeper into the hall. “You buried a lie. And rotted like all lies it has rotted.The hand of Vivian fluttered to her mouth. Eleanor held the banister because it could not support her.

Chapter: Chapter 266: The Queen ReturnsIt was several decades since the Blackwood mansion had been silent. Its chandeliers were twinkling, its marble floor gleamed but the brilliance was vacant, as the stage in opera before the curtain is raised on tragedy.Samuel Blackwood had not taken a drop of bourbon, nor had he looked at the phone, using the gaze of a person who could read it to indicate a phone call. All audits, all the calls of lawyers, all the letters had told what his gut had recognized, that his empire was sinking. His name was weakening. His house was cracking.And then came the sound.The heavy throb of engines on the other side. Tires crunching gravel. Doors slamming shut.The guards on the entrance turned stiff. The Blackwood children were at the windows. Sergeants were standing still traying. No one had been expected. The one who appeared unannounced last had appeared many years before.Not by command, but by violence the gates were opened. The black SUVs would like ghosts enter the courtyard with the black

Jasmine gave her a quick glance. "You okay?" Audrey nodded but winced her hands. Jayla sighed deeply. "You should have mentioned it when he called." Audrey gazed down. "I thought I could handle it." Jade snorted. "Not with Axel. He doesn't listen to no." Jasmine stood by the window, narrowed eyes intently focused as she gazed out. Then she froze. Outside, in front of the window, on the street, a black car. A dark figure in the car. Watching. Waiting. Her heart was pounding. He was here. She spun to her sisters, low voice, resolute. "He's outside." Audrey's eyes widened. "What?" Jayla leaped to the window to look out. Jade cursed under her breath. "That psycho." Jasmine breathed slowly, deeply, attempting to soothe herself. She wasn't scared. She was angry. Axel had done enough already. Sarah was d

She knew who it was. The second it started ringing she knew. A shiver ran down her spine, her heart racing. Axel. He was calling her. She swallowed hard, her fists tight. She had blocked him. Had changed her routine. Had tried to close him out of her life. And yet. He'd somehow come back anyway. The ringing stopped. A voicemail message showed up. She was breathing irregularly as she hit play. And then his voice was smooth and even, weighted with something sinfully wicked bouncing off of the walls. "Audrey he said, did you really think I'd let you go that easily?" Her blood went cold. "We both know you still think of me. Of us." Her fists clenched on the phone. No. No, she didn't. She wouldn't. She couldn't. "I gave you your space. I let you pretend. But it's time to come home, sweetheart." Audre

For the first time in his life, he was not in charge. His expensive attorneys weren't going to get him out of this today. His influence, his name, his power—it meant nothing now. The seasoned detective dropped a file onto the desk, reopening it. Pictures. Documents. DNA tests. It all lay before him. "You drew up official papers," the detective said, his own voice tightly controlled. "You drew up fake papers and left your firstborn daughter to live and live comfortably. His father's jaw clenched. The detective continued, "And because of that, Sarah spent her entire life believing she wasn't wanted." A bitter silence. "And now she's dead." For a moment—a fleeting moment—something passed through his father's eyes. Regret? Guilt? Maybe. But too little, too late. The detective leaned in.

Their mother sat opposite them, her fists clenched on the armrests of the chair while her face was set in stiff lines. Jasmine took a deep breath. "Mom… we've got something to say." Jayla leaned forward. "Something about Dad." Jade sighed. "And Sarah." Her mother's eyebrows jerked with horror when she said the name Sarah. "What about her?" Jasmine's voice was constricted, but she fought to say something. "She was our sister." Their mother's breath stalled. Her hand gripped the chair as her knuckles turned white. No one uttered a word for a second. Then, in a whisper just above a murmur— "What did you just say?" Jayla swallowed hard. "Sarah… she was Dad's daughter."

Jade let out a slow breath, staring at the floor. “I thought I’d feel… relieved.” Jayla shook her head, her voice quieter than usual. “Me too.” Jasmine's clutch on her cup of coffee spasmed. "She was our sister." Jayla grumbled unwillingly. "Half-sister." Jasmine shut her eyes. "It doesn't matter." For in the end, Sarah had been as lost as they had once been. The difference? She never had her way back. Fraser and Tressa – A New Beginning, or a New Threat? Tressa turned a lock of hair around her finger, watching out the apartment window. "She's really gone," she murmured. Fraser, who stood behind her, let out a deep sigh. "Yeah." Tressa’s chest tightened. Sarah had been many things—an enemy, a rival, a storm in human form.
