Victoria Lancaster was born into privilege - the brilliant, rebellious daughter of one of the most powerful families in the world. But when a devastating betrayal leaves her family's empire in ruins and her father disgraced, Victoria is forced into exile, presumed dead by the very people who destroyed her. Years later, she returns from the ashes, unrecognizable and unstoppable. No longer the naïve heiress, Victoria has transformed into a cunning, strategic force, determined to reclaim her legacy and uncover the truth behind her family's downfall.

Chapter 1 The Fall

Victoria Lancaster's world was one of glittering banquets, tailored dresses, and whispered envy. The only daughter of Richard Lancaster - a billionaire whose empire stretched from luxury hotels to oil pipelines - she had grown up in a life most could only dream of.

Her father, cold and commanding, wasn't just a businessman; he was a king in his own domain. And Victoria was his princess - or rather, his chess piece, meant to marry a future CEO and strengthen the Lancaster legacy.

At sixteen, though, Victoria wasn't thinking about mergers and acquisitions. She was thinking about Daniel Hayes - the gardener's son. Daniel wasn't like the other boys at her prep school. He didn't care about trust funds or designer labels. He loved the way she laughed, not the way her last name sparkled.

Their love was inevitable, reckless, and doomed.

When Victoria found out she was pregnant, she wasn't scared - she was hopeful. She imagined a small, simple life where she wasn't a Lancaster, where she and Daniel could build something real.

Her father's reaction shattered that dream.

"You're no daughter of mine." His voice was ice. The family lawyer was already in the corner, drafting a disownment. "Get out. Don't come back."

Her mother, Evelyn - delicate, silent, and always obedient - looked away, tears pooling but never falling. She didn't speak up. She never did.

Victoria left with nothing but a duffel bag and a promise from Daniel: We'll figure it out.

"Carroll Brown is dead! But you have to marry him in your sister's name." My mother said to me in a cold tone. My sister was engaged to the hottest billionaire. It should have been a perfect marriage. Unexpectedly, Carroll was dead in an accident. My sister didn't want to become a widow, so she forced me to marry her dead fiance. And I had no right to refuse her. Actually, I was the biological daughter of the Smith family. My sister was an adoptive one. My sister and I had been swapped at the hospital when we were just born. My parents had already had a deep relationship with her. So they chose to sacrifice me. On the wedding day, I was taken to the mourning hall. "Ma'am, please keep Master company and let him feel warm." The housekeeper said with a cold expression. I couldn't help but look up at the portrait above the coffin, and my heart skipped a beat at this glance. The man in the portrait was more handsome than the superstars in Hollywood. Carroll Brown? My dead husband? Wow, he was really handsome! I didn't know how long had passed when my stomach began to rebel. After one glance at the coffin, I swallowed my saliva and then begged with my fingers crossed. "Mr. Carroll, I'm starving! May I eat your pastries? You don't mind, do you?" "I do." "Ah!" Scared, I broke out in a cold sweat. My legs went limp, and I fell to the ground. I shouted, "Ghost!" Carroll curled his lips, leaned over, and touched the black coffin. "Mr. Carroll has risen from the dead. What do you think of this headline tomorrow?"
