"Heavy lies the head that wears the crown, just so happened that ours were cursed." Deyanira Valen was born into divine greatness destined to rule beside her husband. But tragedy struck when she found herself a widow on the receiving end of an axe. But she is given another shot at life when she is reborn into the modern world as Alexis Tyne where scheming nobles and impressionable subjects didn't exist. A world where she is no longer constrained by heavy responsibilities and is free to do as she wishes. This was why it was her hope that with a second chance, things could end better for her. And if she is lucky, she might find him in this time, too. When the moment comes that they meet, it's up to Alexis if she'll fight for the truth or let her guilt control her relationship with King Richard Castellane, or in this case, the billionaire Ellis Lane. Will they ever be together again, or will she let go of the past and let him live his present?

The CEO and His Royal Queen Chapter 1 Prologue

18th century

"The High Court has ruled Queen Deyanira III a murderer, traitor, and public enemy to the people of this nation. She is to be stripped of all her titles, and authority, and be deprived of her noble standing. She is no longer the ruler of the kingdom and shall not be allowed to carry His Majesty's name any longer."

"Deyanira Alexis Valen is to be put to death through the severing of her head from her body." The hall was devoid of gasps nor cheers. A solemn hush fell on everyone as the Chief Judge passed down the sentence.

But all eyes were on the woman in the center of it all. Despite the heavy punishment, her back kept its posture and her face revealed no hint of emotion. Whether it was her admittance of guilt or grasping for a final shred of dignity was up for debate.

All else was a blur to Deyanira, the only thing on her mind was him.

She placed her head on the block and with even breaths waited for her end.

"If there truly is anyone listening to the plea of an ailing widow, I plead with thee. Let me roam this earth until I find him and feel his embrace again. Please, just let me-"

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

The Surgeon's Vow: Healing My Billionaire Husband

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.
