Expensive sheets, blinding penthouse sun – a picture of success. But then, the memory hit me. It wasn't a nightmare; it was my last life. A life where Jess, the woman I thought I loved, and her charming snake of a lover, Ryan Miller, betrayed me. They leaked Peterson Global's R&D secrets, framed me, shattered my father's legacy, and then laughed as I was locked away. I died in that prison, lonely and broken, a stress-aggravated heart condition taking me. The humiliation, the pain, it was all still fresh, seared into my soul. How could I have been so blind? How could the woman I showered with everything, who spoke of grand love, secretly despise me enough to ruin my life, accuse me of theft, and abandon me to rot? The injustice was a searing fire in my gut. And then, I woke up. Here. Now. Back on this exact day, hours before the press conference, a second chance. They wanted me to choose Jess? Fine. I would choose. But this time, the script would be spectacularly different. I chose Sophia Chen.

Introduction

It was supposed to be the biggest day of my life.

The day I, Alex Peterson, heir to a global empire, announced my engagement to Jess Vanderbilt, the perfect corporate alliance.

Expensive sheets, blinding penthouse sun – a picture of success.

But then, the memory hit me.

It wasn't a nightmare; it was my last life.

A life where Jess, the woman I thought I loved, and her charming snake of a lover, Ryan Miller, betrayed me.

They leaked Peterson Global's R&D secrets, framed me, shattered my father's legacy, and then laughed as I was locked away.

I died in that prison, lonely and broken, a stress-aggravated heart condition taking me.

The humiliation, the pain, it was all still fresh, seared into my soul.

How could I have been so blind?

How could the woman I showered with everything, who spoke of grand love, secretly despise me enough to ruin my life, accuse me of theft, and abandon me to rot?

The injustice was a searing fire in my gut.

And then, I woke up.

Here. Now.

Back on this exact day, hours before the press conference, a second chance.

They wanted me to choose Jess?

Fine.

I would choose.

But this time, the script would be spectacularly different.

I chose Sophia Chen.

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.

Trigger/Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised. It includes elements such as BDSM dynamics, explicit sexual content, toxic family relationships, occasional violence and strong language. This is not a fluffy romance. It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
