Breaking out of the Cocoon Chapter 1

After three years abroad, Emma Fowler returned to her homeland and found herself sent to Nathan Tate's bed as a courtesan.

Their night of passion revealed that Nathan didn't recognize her at all.

He became utterly captivated by this new version of her. Emma chose not to reveal her true identity and instead sent him a discreet message, asking if the marriage promise he once made still held.

"I've always seen you as a sister," he replied coldly. His words stung her heart. "Those promises were just to ease your mind while you were getting treatment abroad. We're done. Don't contact me again."

Emma quietly turned off her phone, severing a decade of longing.

Yet on the day she planned to leave, Nathan's eyes reddened as he knelt before her, pleading softly. "Emma... please, don't leave me. You said you'd marry me..."

She shook off his grasp without hesitation. "You said I was just a sister to you."

...

The day Emma returned, a storm soaked her through as she arrived at the hotel where Nathan was celebrating his birthday.

Her drenched clothes did nothing to stop Nathan from devouring her completely.

On the large bed, their bodies intertwined. Her shy whispers teased his ears.

The intensity made Emma's brows furrow as she pressed her hands against his chest, pleading brokenly. "Please... not so rough..."

But Nathan, like a wild stallion, couldn't hold back.

When she felt close to fainting, he finally stopped, his gaze roaming over her with near greed.

He grabbed his phone and stepped into the bathroom. Emma struggled to sit up on the bed.

"Where did you find this one? I'm beyond satisfied. Not only is she untouched, her face and figure are flawless!" His voice, laced with amusement, mingled with the sound of the shower, piercing her ears.

Shock hit Emma like lightning.

She and Nathan had been childhood friends, knowing each other since elementary school. She had loved him for nearly a decade.

But three years had passed since they last saw each other. She had transformed from an obese girl to a slim girl.

During their intimacy, she thought for a moment he recognized her.

Though her heart ached, she convinced herself it was normal for him not to know her.

She debated confessing her identity when their eyes met.

Unlike her flustered state, Nathan seemed calm. He sat beside her, gently stroking her hair with a tenderness she had never seen in his eyes.

"What's your name?"

Emma stared at his face, momentarily lost, before deciding not to reveal the truth.

"Snow," she said.

Pushing aside her tangled emotions, she wanted to enter his world as someone new, to see what his life had become.

Nathan made a call to have clothes delivered for her, then drove her to meet his friends for a late-night meal.

Three handsome men sat at the table, each with two women pouring drinks and feeding them fruit.

Emma frowned, wondering if these were the people who had corrupted her Nathan.

He pulled her close by the waist and sat her down, speaking to a silver-haired man. "Thanks, Felix. This one's a keeper. Way better than the one you sent me last year. Next time, I'll pick one out for you."

All eyes turned to Emma, but she remained still, her mind replaying Nathan's words. Did they trade women like gifts?

In the three years she was gone, had Nathan been with countless others?

She recalled arriving at the hotel earlier, drenched from the rain. Felix Lee, mistaking her for someone else because of his hair color, had pressed a room key into her hand. "Hurry up, Nathan's waiting in the room."

Hearing Nathan's name, she thought he had planned a surprise for her.

The memory twisted her stomach, her face paling.

Nathan looked at her with concern, taking her hand gently.

Felix spoke up. "Nathan, isn't that obese fiancée of yours coming back soon? You've got to bring her out so we can see her. I've never seen a woman that big."

Emma looked at Nathan, only to catch his grimace of disgust. "You'd lose your appetite for days just looking at her. Thinking of her face still makes me sick."

Their laughter cut into Emma's heart like a knife. She gripped her skirt tightly, burning his expression into her memory.

"And..." Nathan toyed with her hair absently, "she's not my fiancée. Mention her again, and I'll make her your problem."

Felix waved his hands in protest. "She gained all that weight from the hormone pills she took to save you. You've got no conscience. If she comes back a beauty, she won't want you anymore."

Emma's thoughts drifted to middle school. To save Nathan from drowning, she had stayed too long in the freezing lake.

At a young age, she developed chronic illnesses. To manage the pain and inflammation, she took heavy doses of hormone medication, ballooning to twice her original size in a few years.

Whenever she felt ashamed of her weight or was mocked by classmates, Nathan reassured her. "You'll never be unwanted. I'll marry you."

He said it from age 14 to 18, even on the day he saw her off abroad, his face full of sincerity. Emma held those words close.

During her years of treatment abroad, no matter how grueling, the thought of Nathan waiting for her gave her strength to wipe away tears and keep going.

But the Nathan before her now seemed indifferent, a stranger compared to her memories. He squeezed her cold fingers and leaned close with concern. "Your hands are freezing. Put on my jacket."

Emma pulled her hand away and stood. "I'm going to the restroom."

As she turned, tears welled up and slid down her face.

In the restroom, she composed herself before taking out her phone to call her mother.

"Mom, I don't want to stay here and build a career. After signing the transfer contract next week, I'm coming back to get engaged to Louis..."

A pause lingered on the other end before her mother asked cautiously, "What about Nathan? He doesn't want to marry you? You've loved him for so long, and for him you..."

"Mom!" Emma's voice trembled as she cut her off. "I'm the one who doesn't want to marry him."

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.
