Leena's life was the opposite of the Cinderella story. She toiled hard to support her family. She took classes in the morning, and worked in the evenings. Her routine life took a turn for the worse with Miguel's return and she slipped into an abyss of love and desire. Leena closed her eyes and waited patiently for the fall. She struggled, shed tears. "There's no end to this suffering," she thought. She gave him many opportunities, but he betrayed her time and again, until one day, she finally decided to leave him and let him have a taste of his own medicine; the pain of loss and betrayal. The man beside her narrowed his eyes at the woman and said, "You are going to be mine. Don't think about other men!" Could she ever get out of this mess? Could she retain her happiness after suffering this deep injury to her heart?

College Girl Behind The Charming CEO Chapter 1 Miguel's Return (Part One)

As Leena Yang glanced at her watch, she immediately rushed into the dressing room. She threw in her shoulder bag, murmuring to herself, "Don't be late. Don't be late!" There were only five minutes left! Leena Yang threw her sneakers to the side of the dressing room before unzipping her shoulder bag. She dug out some high heels and lingerie.

She opened her locker and took out her suit. After getting dressed up, the image of an innocent college student faded away in the picture. Standing there was a strong business woman ready to take on the world.

Leena Yang Yang tied her long hair in a bun, leaving no strands out. She then took out her sunblock and rubbed it on her face. Without another word, she walked right out of the dressing room. Mary, who was outside waiting for her, was stunned.

"Director Yang, I didn't know you were so fast! It only took you three minutes to change."

Mary was just a waitress, and she was also working under Leena Yang. Mary rushed in to put the other stuff away.

According to the rules of their five-star hotel, waiters must be dressed properly. Except for necessary accessories, other jewelries, including watches, shouldn't be worn. It was a strict directive that everyone must follow.

"I slept late last night, and I woke up late," Leena Yang grumbled, frustrated.

"But you're always on time." Mary blinked in surprise. Normally, Leena Yang was never late. In fact, she was always on time that some might believe she was a robot!

Pursing her lips, Leena Yang didn't bother to reply. She actually stayed up last night because she was finishing up her paper. She didn't go to bed till three in the morning. Finally, she went to the hotel at eight in the morning to organize the cleaning staff, so she was almost late.

For these years, she had kept her life as a student a secret from her co-workers.

Leena Yang strutted out the dressing room, nodding at the waiters passing by. It was then when Lewis Liu, the general manager of the hotel, walked in. Seeing that she was in such high spirits, he waved his hand and pulled her into his office. "Promise your Uncle Lewis that you'll finish your work this month. I'll introduce better jobs for you after."

Leena Yang frowned. "Doesn't Simon want me working here?" Simon was the boss of the hotel.

"No." Lewis Liu shook his head.

Leena Yang spread her arms exasperatedly. "I've done my job well here. It's been six years and I know for a fact no one does this job better than I do. I still want this job."

"Your father died dear, and I feel obligated to take care of you. You entered the hotel at such a young age! Our hotel may have strict regulations for its clients and management, but we can't go off pissing a lot of people. You might not get married in the future!" he said worriedly.

Leena Yang knew exactly what he was saying. He was talking about the incident wherein she got into a fight with a rich man. The man was being incredibly unreasonable with his harassment to the other waitress. Leena Yang had to step in and solve the issue, but she had inadvertently offended him. The man had threatened to take his revenge, but she only blacklisted him in response. Since then, he wasn't allowed to enter the hotel anymore.

She sighed. "Uncle Lewis, I've never expected that I'll live a good life after my father's death. Besides, as long as my mother and brother are living well, then you don't have to worry about me. Let me work."

Lewis Liu wanted to say more, but she interrupted him. "Uncle Lewis, you don't have to introduce me to other jobs. This place suits me, plus I often have classes." She intended to earn money enough for her to get a master's degree.

After that, she'd find a well-paid job and jumped out the seas of poverty. The world is a cruel place, especially when you aren't part of the middle-class.

Lewis Liu sighed, knowing he wasn't going to get anywhere arguing with her.

Leena Yang was from a rich family. Unfortunately, her father committed suicide. After the incident, her elder brother had debts to pay due to his failed business. From then on, it was as if she'd grown through a reversal of the Cinderella story, and it straightened Leena Yang out. It became her responsibility to take care of her sick mother and twelve-year-old brother. She had classes in the day, and she had to work in the evenings.

Although she had a tough time during her college life, she still received full marks!

When Leena Yang strolled down the corridor of the hotel, the past crept up her mind. Her smile faltered slightly. Her father's properties had all been confiscated after the incident, and her brother had fled for the debts that had piled up against him. This was why her family moved into a shabby house in the small alleys. She'd been working ever since she was in high school, so there wasn't a job that she wasn't unfamiliar with. When she entered the university, she asked Lewis Liu to hire her in the hotel starting as a waiter. Now, she was a department supervisor. Many people had come to respect her.

The Heaven Hotel was owned by the prestigious Ling Group, a famous entertainment company. The Ling Group was not the only group dominating the entertainment circle, but also they had stems in different sectors that their influence was infinite. Today, a group of rich men came to the Heaven Hotel for some fun. It was hard to find out who they were. The rich didn't easily reveal their identity, but as far as Lewis Liu knew, they were well-distinguished.

I woke up in the same rotting trailer, the familiar smell of damp and despair assaulting me. My head throbbed, not from pills, but from the searing pain of a life lived twice. Next door, my frail mother-in-law Carol coughed weakly, and my son Leo whimpered, burning with fever. This was my second chance, a harrowing rebirth from an existence I’d tragically ended. In my first life, I’d watched Leo succumb to a rare virus, his grandmother die of grief, utterly abandoned by my husband, Captain David Miller. We’d been left to rot in rural West Virginia while he thrived on base with his mistress, Jessica. Now, Leo was critically ill again, his only hope a prohibitively expensive, experimental antiviral. When we finally arrived at Fort Devereux, David’s reaction wasn’t relief, but utter fury and embarrassment. He lied to his commanding officer, pretending we were "church folks" whose house burned down, then raged at me for threatening his career. We discovered the money David claimed to send was instead funding Jessica’s luxurious life and her daughter Lily’s private daycare. But the ultimate betrayal came when he violently smashed Leo's desperately needed medicine, prioritizing his mistress and his perfect image over his dying son. A guttural, animalistic scream ripped from my soul as our only hope for Leo shattered on the wall. How could a father be so monstrous, so utterly devoid of humanity, to sacrifice his own child for a lie? The decades of neglect, the constant starvation, the unfeeling silence from him—it all coalesced into a blinding rage. My grief transformed into an unyielding steel. As military police arrived, I clutched my feverish son, pointed at David, and my voice rang out. “I am Sarah Miller, Captain David Miller’s legal wife,” I declared to the horrified onlookers. “And he just destroyed our dying son’s life-saving medicine!”

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.

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.
