Camille Lewis was the forgotten daughter, the unloved wife, the woman discarded like yesterday's news. Betrayed by her husband, cast aside by her own family, and left for dead by the sister who stole everything, she vanished without a trace. But the weak, naive Camille died the night her car was forced off that bridge. A year later, she returns as Camille Kane, richer, colder, and more powerful than anyone could have imagined. Armed with wealth, intelligence, and a hunger for vengeance, she is no longer the woman they once trampled on. She is the storm that will tear their world apart. Her ex-husband begs for forgiveness. Her sister's perfect life crumbles. Her parents regret the daughter they cast aside. But Camille didn't come back for apologies, she came back to watch them burn. But as her enemies fall at her feet, one question remains: when the revenge is over, what's left? A mysterious trillionaire Alexander Pierce steps into her path, offering something she thought she lost forever, a future. But can a woman built on ashes learn to love again? She rose from the fire to destroy those who betrayed her. Now, she must decide if she'll rule alone... or let someone melt the ice in her heart.

"You had been stalking me for years, but you don't know that I can use a gun?" I asked, trying to sound sarcastic.

"Wife. Please, give me that f*cking gun. Now," he commanded, his voice deep and sharp, carrying that dangerous authority he always had.

"I’m sorry, Accius. But you can’t just order me like that. I’m not one of your f*cking dogs!" I snapped, my voice cracking slightly at the end.

I may look brave right now, but inside, my chest was already trembling. I wanted to shout at him. I wanted to ask him so many questions—questions that had been haunting me for a long time. But I couldn’t. Because if I dared to ask him, I might suddenly break down, and all the tears I had been holding back would come pouring out.

He nodded slowly and let out a heavy sigh. "Okay. You can have that gun. You can even point it at me if you want. Whatever you want, Doll. Just please, don’t leave me."

"Please, just don’t leave me. I love you," he pleaded. His eyes were now gentle—exactly how I had always known them to be. So different from the cold, dark look I saw earlier.

My mouth parted, my head shaking. "You don’t love me, Accius. You’re just obsessed! That obsession of yours will never take us anywhere."

He shook his head in disbelief, like he couldn’t comprehend the words coming out of my mouth. But he needed to hear this from me. If I didn’t tell him now, he would never stop.

"Don’t f*cking underestimate my love for you, Dollina." His voice carried both pain and anger, each word sharp and heavy.

"If you really loved me, you wouldn’t be doing all of this, Accius! This is madness! Absolute insanity! You just murdered someone! What the hell did you do?!" I shouted with every bit of strength left in me. My chest felt like it was about to explode from the storm of emotions inside.

His jaw tightened. He still didn’t say a word.

"You can’t even explain yourself! Because it’s true—"

"Doll. Please. If I did, it was for you—"

"No! Don’t you dare tell me it was because of me! My God, Accius! For me?" I snapped back. My hand trembled violently as I gripped the gun tighter.

I was exhausted, and that was the final push that made my tears spill over completely. My vision turned blurry, my eyes drowning in the tears I had been fighting to hold back. I looked down at my pumps, only to see a dark stain of blood on them.
