Lydia Abbott once loved Henry Lawson with everything she had. For ten years, she endured his cruelty, his silence, and the weight of a crime she didn't commit. After a tragic accident took his father's life and left him in a wheelchair, Lydia became the scapegoat-the daughter of a killer. He adopted her, only to torment her with relentless cruelty. Betrayed, imprisoned, and stripped of her child, Lydia nearly lost her life. When she reached her lowest point, all she received was his cold words: "You deserved it." But the truth always finds its way back. When the lies unravel and Henry finally sees what he destroyed, it's already too late. Lydia vanishes in an explosion that leaves only ashes behind. Five years later, she returns-not as his silent bride, but as a world-renowned scientist, powerful, untouchable, and breathtaking. She looks him in the eye and says with a smile, "Henry Lawson, everything you owed me, I'll take back-twice over." This time, she's not the one begging to stay. He is.

From His Silent Bride to the Queen of Comebacks Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Just a Mute Servant

Snow drifted down in slow, silent layers, cloaking the Lawson estate in a bone-deep stillness.

Lydia Abbott knelt at the front steps, her arms wrapped tightly around the frail body of the stray puppy she had rescued that morning. Her dress clung to her skin, damp and freezing, and her fingers-red, cracked, and nearly numb-barely moved as she cradled the animal close.

The puppy's breathing was faint now, its small chest barely rising beneath the folds of her coat.

Above them, one window on the second floor still glowed with warm light. Behind the curtain, Lydia could see two silhouettes-close, intimate, unmistakably entwined. Then, the light went out.

She didn't need to guess what happened next.

A cold, hollow ache bloomed in her chest, worse than anything the wind could deliver. She closed her eyes, pressing her forehead to the puppy's fur.

"You said you'd come back for my birthday," she thought bitterly.

Henry had returned, just as he said he would, but not for her. He came back with another woman by his side.

Just an hour earlier, the house had been still and quiet.

Lydia stood in the living room, her eyes fixed on the small cake sitting on the dining table. It was nothing fancy-just something she had managed to prepare herself, with cream, fruit, and a single candle waiting to be lit. The sweet scent had filled the air, softening the edges of her nerves.

It was her birthday. Her twentieth. Henry had promised he would be home.

She glanced at the clock. 11:40 p.m. Twenty minutes left.

Lydia told herself not to hope. But she had already dressed, already laid out the cake, already lit the faintest warmth in her chest. And beside her, the little puppy lay curled on a blanket, still shivering from the cold. She had found him near the front gate, abandoned and whimpering, and couldn't bring herself to leave him.

Headlights sliced through the window.

Her heart jumped. She moved quickly, lighting the candle and switching off the lights. Then she stood beside the door, breath caught in her throat, a smile threatening to rise.

The door opened, but her smile fell away.

Henry stepped inside, tall and composed, the snow still clinging to his coat.

He wasn't alone. A woman clung to his arm-flawless makeup, heels clicking against the floor, her lips curled into a smirk Lydia couldn't quite name.

Clara Spencer gave Lydia a once-over, brows raised. "Oh? Who's this?"

"She's just a mute maid," Henry replied lazily, not even glancing at Lydia.

The words struck like a slap. Lydia stood frozen, her fingers curling around the edge of her skirt.

Clara let out a soft laugh and lifted one foot. "Well? Help me with my shoes."

Lydia hesitated. Her gaze flicked to Henry, hoping stupidly for some sign he might stop this, might remember what today was.

He didn't. He only looked at her, his expression unreadable.

She knelt without a word. Her hands trembled slightly as she undid Clara's heels and replaced them with slippers.

Clara made a show of stamping her feet, satisfied.

"That's better," she said lightly. "Come on, Henry."

Henry moved past Lydia as if she weren't there.

Her eyes drifted to the cake, still waiting on the table. Still lit. Still untouched.

Clara's voice rang out again, this time with mock delight. "Oh my god, is that cake for me? You remembered my birthday?"

Lydia's throat tightened. She opened her mouth instinctively, but no sound came out.

"That's mine!" she shouted in her head.

Before she could move, the puppy darted out, letting out a single, high-pitched bark.

Clara shrieked and stumbled backward. "What the hell? There's a dog in here!"

Henry's expression darkened. Without hesitation, he raised his leg and kicked.

"No!" Lydia threw herself in the way just in time, curling around the puppy. The blow landed square in her chest. She hit the floor hard, the breath knocked from her lungs, pain blooming across her ribs.

Henry froze for a second. Clara rushed to his side. "That filthy thing almost touched me! Good thing you reacted fast."

He looked down at Lydia, who was still hunched over, arms wrapped around the tiny body beneath her. "Why is there a dog in this house?"

She sat up slowly, gasping for air, and began to sign.

-I found him this morning. He was freezing. I couldn't just leave him.

"Get rid of it," Henry said coldly. "I don't care how."

Her hands moved again, faster this time.

-Please. He's harmless. He won't survive outside.

Henry's eyes narrowed. "You're not listening."

Lydia looked up at him, her vision blurring. After a long pause, she knelt quietly, the motion laced with desperate pleading.

Her hands rose once more, the signs slower now, each one measured and restrained.

-Please. Just let me keep him. Only for tonight.

Henry's gaze didn't soften. Instead, it grew colder.

"You like kneeling so much?" he said. "Fine. Take him and get out."

A flicker of hope vanished, leaving behind nothing but a slow, spreading bitterness.

Lydia didn't speak. She gathered the puppy into her arms and stood. She opened the door. Cold air rushed in, sharp and cruel, slicing against her skin.

She paused in the doorway, the wind tugging at her coat as she turned and looked back-just once. Henry didn't move. He didn't even look at her. So she stepped into the storm, and the door closed softly behind her.

Warning: This book contains a large number of very hot adult scenes! "Look at the state of you, my little she-wolf," his voice was low and full of menace, like sandpaper scraping across my nerves. "You got this wet just from that?" Then he pressed a hard kiss to my knuckles. Fuck! His rough tongue slid across my slender finger bones, tasting the salty sweat and fear on my skin. A violent tremor shot through my whole body. A moan I couldn't suppress slipped from between my lips. "Ah. Sebastian." I felt my thighs rubbing together on their own, that damn traitorous movement making my pussy clench so tight I nearly came. Yes, that's it, you desperate little bitch. I cursed myself in my mind. He flipped my hand over, his thumb pressing hard-almost punishingly-into the sensitive skin on the inside of my wrist. My pulse pounded there beneath his palm like it was going mad. "This is beating so hard," he whispered, his breath hot against my skin, "is it beating for me, Seraphina? Tell me." Then he took one of my fingers into his damn hot, wet mouth. Oh God. His rough tongue swirled, rubbed, scraped along the skin of my finger, warm saliva soaking every inch. And his eyes never left me-fixing on me like a beast locking onto prey. He sucked softly at first, then suddenly with force. That rhythm. Fuck, he was fucking my finger with his mouth. "Are you using this to fuck my mouth, Seraphina?" He let my finger go with a filthy pop, seeing straight through my thoughts. "Imagine this is my cock. Does it feel good, you filthy little she-wolf?" My back arched uncontrollably, like the lowest kind of whore silently inviting him. A broken, shameful whimper escaped my throat. "Good. so good." My scent thickened, wild floral heat and lust filling the air, swallowing the last of my reason. I could feel the terrifying restraint in his body cracking apart. He wanted to hear me moan his name as I came. He wanted to bury himself inside my soaked, empty heat until I could feel nothing except his violent thrusts. He moved to my middle finger, giving it the same obscene, thorough attention. His tongue circled wickedly at the base, then pushed deep, sucking hard as if tasting the sweetest honey. Fuck! My hips jerked upward without control. My other hand dug into the carpet, knuckles white, vision dissolving in the storm of desire swallowing me whole. "I need you. to fill my pussy, Sebastian." -- I grew up as a human in a wolf pack, but ironically, I ended up becoming the mate of the pack's Alpha. I thought I would fit perfectly into the wolves' world-until the day I caught my Alpha mate tangled with another she-wolf in the back seat of a car. With trembling hands, I tricked him into signing the divorce papers-silently swearing revenge. But they didn't stop. His mother sent thugs to destroy me. His mistress tried to erase me. Even my coworkers wanted to use me. That night, I nearly lost my life. Until Alpha Sebastian found me-cold, ruthless, unmatched. He said he didn't need a mate. But he protected me like a mate. Touched me like a mate. Looked at me like a mate, as if I already belonged to him. I tried to resist his approach. I didn't want to make the same mistake twice. Wolves would never accept a human mate. But whenever he came near me, whenever those scorching hands reached for me, I always hungered for him-wanted more-yet I was done with promises. Until I discovered that my past was not simple at all-and Sebastian had his own reasons for approaching me-

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

"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.

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

5.0

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.
