Liora Hale has spent a decade plotting revenge against the man who ruined her family. Adrian Everhart, the cold, arrogant billionaire CEO of Everhart Global, personally signed off on the hostile takeover that bankrupted her father’s company and shattered her world. She never forgot. She never forgave. Now she works under him recommended straight to his desk by the very team that praised her talent. From their first clash, sparks fly: sharp words, defiant stares, and a loathing so thick it’s almost electric. Adrian is intrigued by the one woman who refuses to bow. Liora is determined to destroy him. When a crucial merger with old-money traditionalists requires proof of “stability,” Adrian proposes the unthinkable: pose as his fiancée for one month. Promotion, power, and a front-row seat to his empire in exchange. She says yes, not for love, but for vengeance. Fake dates. Shared suites. “Practice” touches that linger too long. Every staged smile and charged glance brings her closer to the proof she needs to expose him. But the closer she gets, the more she sees: the fatigue behind his steel-gray eyes, the quiet protectiveness in his commands, the way he says her name like it’s a secret he’s keeping from himself. As evidence piles up and the lines between hate and desire blur, Liora faces the ultimate test: finish the revenge she’s lived for… or risk falling for the billionaire she swore to loathe forever. Enemies by blood. Fiancés by contract. What happens when revenge starts feeling like surrender?

Elara’s first life crashed hard. Cruel tricks ruined her name, broke her dreams, and turned the whole entertainment world against her. Friends betrayed her. Lovers sold her out. Everyone she trusted stabbed her in the back. The pain piled up until she felt trapped with no way out. One night, she couldn’t take it anymore. She walked to the river and ended it all in the cold, quiet water. Later, proof came out. Messages. Recordings. Everything showed she had been framed. People posted apologies online. But it was too late. She was already gone. The universe, though, clearly has a twisted sense of humor. Because somehow, Elara came back. She woke up in her own past, every awful memory still sharp in her head. Right then she made a promise she would never break: protect her gentle grandfather no matter what, and never let anyone push her to that dark place again. This time she steps into the entertainment world with her head high. She trains harder, sings better, fights smarter. The same people who once crushed her? Now they get to feel the pressure. Love? Not happening. Her heart is locked tight. But why is it that as she rises and shines brighter, handsome, powerful men start circling her—guys who never even glanced at her in her previous life were now hovering around her. The actor smiled at her during a press interview, leaned closer, and said softly, “We should have dinner sometime.” The footballer sent flowers so big they blocked her room door. The surgeon she met at a charity event checked her pulse and then forgot to let go of her wrist. The singer she collaborated with kept calling her name during rehearsals, as if the mic could not hear him well enough. Elara stared at the ceiling that night and sighed. She only wanted to sing. Why did everyone look like they wanted to adopt her, date her, or both? But the worst one came after the concert. The lights had just gone off. Her ears were still ringing. Sweat clung to her neck. She had barely stepped backstage when a shadow blocked her path. She looked up. The CEO of the greatest company in Aurelia stood there. The same man who once said her voice was “not worth investing in.” The same man who did not even know her name before rebirth. Now he held her wrist lightly, but firmly. “Let’s talk,” he said. Elara blinked. “About… sponsorship?” “No,” he replied calmly. “About marriage.” Her brain froze. “…What?” “I will give you everything,” he continued, as if asking for a glass of water. “Resources. Protection. Freedom to sing. Become my wife.” Elara stared at him, her mouth open, her thoughts running in circles. This was not how it was supposed to be. Why was the world now skipping steps? NB: This story takes place in a fictional world. Aurelia is a country. Solmere, Veston, and Starfall City are the three capital cities of Aurelia. Other cities, such as Lorien and Crelou, are smaller cities.
