Eve, a rich heiress, is obsessed with revenge against her cruel step-sibling, but nothing she does seems to hurt them. Desperate, she makes a risky deal with a demon to get his help. In exchange, he gives up part of his immortality, leaving him weaker and vulnerable. To regain his power, the demon must make Eve fall in love with him-something completely against his nature. But as they work together, their connection grows. Eve begins to soften, drawn to the demon's unexpected kindness, while he discovers feelings he thought he'd lost. Their bond becomes undeniable as the demon admits he cares for Eve, seeing not just her anger but her strength and heart. Now, Eve is torn between her thirst for vengeance and her growing feelings for him. With danger closing in, they must face a difficult question: will their love break them, or will it save them both?

Chapter 1 Death at midnight

The luxury yacht floated peacefully on the dark ocean, its lights glowing like a palace in the night. Gentle waves lapped against its sides, hiding the chaos building on the deck.

Eve gripped the cold railing, staring at the moonlit horizon. Tonight was supposed to be a celebration, but her grandmother's shocking decision to leave the family empire in Eve's hands had changed everything.

Behind her, the sharp click of heels broke her thoughts. Eve didn't need to turn around to know who it was.

"Enjoying the view?" Alina's mocking voice cut through the air, sweet but poisonous.

Eve sighed, tightening her grip. "If you're here to argue about Grandma's choice, don't bother. I didn't ask for this."

Alina stepped closer, her silver dress shining under the moonlight. She leaned against the railing, her beauty sharp, but her eyes full of malice.

"Didn't ask for it?" Alina repeated, pretending to be shocked. "You never have to ask, do you, Eve? Everything always falls into your lap-my father, the family's love, and now the empire. It's always about you."

Eve turned to face her, her eyes sharp. "This isn't a game, Alina. Grandma's decision wasn't mine."

Alina's smile twisted cruelly. "No, it wasn't. But tonight, I'll make my own decision."

A glint of silver caught Eve's eye. Her stomach dropped as she saw the knife in Alina's hand, its blade gleaming in the moonlight.

"Alina," Eve said calmly, though fear crept into her voice. "Put it down. You're taking this too far."

Alina laughed coldly, the sound sending chills through Eve. "Too far? Do you have any idea how long I've waited for this moment? This isn't about money. It's about justice."

"Justice?" Eve whispered, stepping back. "You're my sister-"

"Don't call me that!" Alina shouted, her voice full of rage. "Your mother stole my father, tore my family apart, and now you've stolen my future. Do you know what that feels like?"

Eve's heart raced as she tried to reason with her. "I didn't take anything from you. Your anger is with the wrong person."

Alina's lips curled into a cruel smirk. "You really don't know, do you? Your perfect mother didn't die in an accident. My mother made sure of it."

The words hit Eve like a slap. "What are you saying?"

Alina leaned closer, her voice a venomous whisper. "The phone call that pulled her away? My mother's plan. The crash? No accident. Your precious mom was a problem we solved."

Eve stared in horror, her mind racing with memories of that day-her mother's rushed goodbye, the screeching tires, the devastating news.

"You're lying," she said, though her voice shook.

"Am I?" Alina mocked. "Think about it. How quickly we moved in. How easily my mother took her place. Nothing about it was chance."

Anger boiled inside Eve. "You and your mother are monsters."

Alina laughed bitterly. "We did what we had to. And tonight, I'll finish the job."

Before Eve could react, Alina lunged. The knife plunged into Eve's stomach, and a gasp of pain escaped her lips. The world blurred, her body wracked with agony.

"You..." Eve choked, her hands trembling as she clutched the knife. "You stabbed me."

Alina sneered, shoving her back. "Of course, I did. You've always been so naive. Did you think I'd let you leave here alive?"

Eve fell against the railing, blood seeping between her fingers. With trembling hands, she gripped the knife's handle and, with a desperate cry, pulled it out. Pain surged through her as she flung the blade away, watching it clatter to the floor.

Alina smirked, stepping closer. "How dramatic. But bravery won't save you."

Eve struggled to stay upright, but Alina grabbed her dress, forcing her back against the railing. The cold metal dug into her back as Alina leaned in, her voice a cruel whisper.

"Any last words?"

Eve's voice was faint, but her eyes burned with defiance. "I'll...come back for you."

Alina's smile widened. "Rot in hell."

With a final shove, Alina pushed her over the edge.

Eve's scream vanished into the night as she hit the freezing water. The ocean swallowed her, its icy grip pulling her under until there was nothing but silence.

"Did you think I'd just let you go?" Suzanne's grip on her son tightened as Charles took a slow step forward, his smirk curling like smoke in the air. "I sent you the damn divorce papers, Charles. Sign them and leave." He chuckled. "Oh, I got them." Another step. "But I don't sign away what's mine." She backed up. "I am not yours. I stopped being yours the night you betrayed me." His jaw clenched. The silence stretched-thick, suffocating-before he lunged. Suzanne barely had time to gasp before his hands were on her, ripping their son from her arms. The boy hit the couch with a soft thud and let out a startled cry. "You son of a-!" She shoved at him, clawing, struggling, but he was stronger.

To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. Whatā€™s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldnā€™t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesnā€™t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that heā€™s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
