oparagift501 · Ongoing · 148.7k Words
Introduction
Instead, Sophia Hart was left standing alone in front of three hundred guests while her groom, billionaire Alexander Blackwood, announced he was leaving her for her best friend.
Humiliated, heartbroken, and burning with rage, Sophia vanished that night with five million dollars mysteriously wired into her account and a single note: This is your freedom. Use it.
For three years, she disappeared into Paris, remade into the cool, untouchable Elise Moreau under the ruthless guidance of a mentor who knew Alexander’s cruelty all too well. She learned power, seduction, and how to ruin a man without ever raising her voice.
Now she’s back in New York, a stranger to the world that once watched her fall. No one recognizes the poised Frenchwoman who walks into the room and turns every head.
Especially not Alexander.
Old sparks still burn between them, hotter and darker than before. Stolen glances across crowded ballrooms.
A brush of fingers that lingers too long. Late-night encounters in empty offices where walls echo with heavy breaths and whispered names.
He wants her.
She lets him think he can have her.
But every touch, every kiss, every fevered moment against cool glass or silk sheets is on her terms and every second brings him closer to losing everything he thought was his.
But revenge isn’t cold. It’s hot, slow, and very, very personal.
This time, she’s not the bride he left.
She’s the woman who’ll bring him to his knees.
Chapter 1
The church was perfect. White roses spilled from every corner, candles flickered in gold holders, and the afternoon light turned the air soft and golden.
Sophia Hart stood at the entrance on her father’s arm, heart racing with joy. Her wedding gown felt like a dream silk and lace that caught every eye.
She could already see Alexander at the altar, waiting for her.
Her father leaned close. “You ready, sweetheart?”
“More than ready papa ,” she whispered, smiling up at him.
Everyone in the church stood up at once. Heads turned and smiles spread.
Sophia took her first step down the aisle, slow and careful, her heart beating hard in her chest. She could feel hundreds of eyes on her, warm and approving. This was it. This was her moment.
In the front row, her mother wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, already crying. Her brother caught her gaze and lifted his thumb, grinning proudly.
Just behind the altar stood Vanessa, her best friend since childhood, her maid of honor dressed in soft pink. Vanessa smiled brightly and whispered, “You look absolutely beautiful, bestie.”
Sophia smiled back, comforted. Vanessa had always been there. Always.
Then Sophia looked at Alexander.
He looked perfect. Tall. His dark hair neatly styled. His blue eyes locked onto hers, shining as if no one else in the room existed.
They had been together for three years.
He had proposed on a snowy night in Central Park, kneeling in the cold while she cried and laughed at the same time.
They had planned every detail of this wedding together.
He loved her.
She was sure of it.
Sophia reached the altar. Her father leaned close and kissed her cheek.
“Don’t worry, baby girl,” he whispered. “You’ve got this.”
He placed her hand into Alexander’s.
Alexander’s fingers closed around hers warm, firm, familiar.
The minister smiled at them both. “We are gathered here today to witness the union of Alexander Blackwood and Sophia Hart.”
Sophia’s heart swelled. This was real. This was finally happening.
The minister nodded and lifted the velvet box. “Now is the time for you both to say your vows.”
Sophia took a breath. Her voice trembled at first, but she steadied herself.
“I, Sophia Hart, take you, Alexander Blackwood, to be my husband,” she said softly. “I promise to love you and cherish you for as long as I live.”
She finished and looked up at him, smiling through happy tears.
The church went quiet. Every breath felt loud.
Alexander squeezed her hands the small squeeze he always gave when he was nervous. Sophia smiled wider. She knew that squeeze.
He cleared his throat.
“I, Alexander Blackwood, take you, Sophia, to be my wife,” he began. “You’ve been my strength for the past few years. I’m lucky to have you in my life. Till death do me—”
He stopped.
His grip loosened.
The silence stretched on, heavy and uncomfortable.
Sophia’s smile slowly faded.
“I… I can’t do this, Soph,” Alexander said quietly, looking away from her.
The minister frowned. “I’m sorry, son, but you can’t just stop in the middle of the vows.”
Sophia’s heart raced. She tightened her hold on Alexander’s hands. “Baby… is something wrong?” she asked softly.
Alexander pulled his hands free. Completely.
He turned away from her and faced the guests instead.
“I’m done pretending,” he said, his voice louder now, reaching the back of the church. “I can’t marry Sophia.”
A wave of shock rolled through the room. Someone gasped. A chair scraped loudly against the floor.
Sophia felt the blood drain from her face. “Alex…” Her voice shook. “What are you saying? This is a joke, right?”
He finally turned back to her. There was no warmth in his eyes. No hesitation.
“I’ve been in love with someone else for months,” he said flatly. “I should’ve ended this sooner. I’m sorry.”
Sophia’s breath caught.
“Who?” she whispered.
He didn’t answer.
The name hit her anyway.
Vanessa.
Sophia turned slowly.
Vanessa was no longer smiling. She stood still, her eyes fixed on the floor. For a second, she looked ashamed.
Then she lifted her head.
Vanessa stepped forward. One step. Then another. She climbed the three small steps to the altar and stopped beside Alexander.
She reached for his hand. He let her take it.
Sophia’s chest tightened. “Vanessa?”
Vanessa raised her chin. Her voice was calm too calm. “I’m sorry you had to find out like this, Soph. I never meant to hurt you. But we didn’t want to keep lying anymore.”
Something inside Sophia snapped.
Before anyone could stop her, Sophia’s hand flew through the air.
Crack.
The slap echoed through the church.
“You’ve been sleeping with my fiancé behind my back,” Sophia shouted, shaking with rage. “And you choose my wedding day to admit it?”
She turned on Alexander, her eyes burning. “You’re heartless.”
Then she faced Vanessa again, her voice breaking. “And you my best friend. I trusted you. Was our friendship not enough? You had to steal my man too?”
The whispers exploded into loud voices. People stood. Chairs scraped.
Sophia’s mother shot to her feet. “This is disgraceful! On her wedding day?”
Her father stepped toward the altar, his face red with fury. “You planned this? Both of you?”
Alexander didn’t look at them. He looked only at Sophia.
“We didn’t want to drag it out,” he said coldly. “It wouldn’t have been fair.”
“Fair?” Sophia’s voice cracked, the word burning her throat. “You leave me at the altar in front of everyone we know, and you call that fair?”
Sophia let out a bitter laugh as tears streamed down her face. “You planned to humiliate me,” she said shakily. “And you’re doing an excellent job.”
A phone camera flashed.
Then another.
Sophia looked around and realized people were recording. This wasn’t just heartbreak anymore. This was a spectacle. By tonight, it would be everywhere.
Claire, one of the bridesmaids, stepped forward, her face hard with anger. “You two should leave. Now,” she snapped. “You’re not wanted here. Get out.”
Vanessa gave a small shrug, completely calm. “We will,” she said lightly. “Relax, Claire. No need to rush us.”
She turned to Alexander with a smile. “Paris, right?”
Alexander nodded.
He looked at Sophia one last time. “I really am sorry.”
Then he took Vanessa’s hand.
Together, they walked down the aisle hand in hand past shocked faces, past Sophia’s sobbing mother, past friends who couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
The church doors closed behind them with a heavy thud.
Sophia stood alone at the altar in her beautiful white dress. Her veil trembled. The roses smelled too strong. The candles felt too hot. The room spun.
Her legs gave out.
Her father and Claire caught her before she fell and helped her through a side door into a small dressing room.
Sophia collapsed onto the sofa. Her gown spread around her like a ruined snowdrift.
Claire knelt in front of her. “Breathe, Soph,” she said softly. “Just breathe.”
Sophia couldn’t speak. Tears ran freely, ruining her makeup.
Alexander’s suit jacket still hung over the back of a chair. His phone was in the pocket.
It started to buzz.
Again.
And again.
Sophia reached for it with shaking hands. The screen lit up with dozens of messages.
Her fingers shook as she scrolled.
The messages went back months.
February 9
Vanessa: We can’t keep sneaking around forever.
Alexander: We will until after the wedding. Everything’s already paid for. Let her enjoy her big day. Then we tell her.
Sophia’s stomach twisted.
April 15
Vanessa: Public humiliation will make sure she never never tries to come back to you.
Alexander: You’re ruthless. I love it.
Sophia’s chest tightened.
June 3
Vanessa: Promise me you won’t back out at the last second.
Alexander: I promise. I’ll say the words right when she thinks it’s forever.
Sophia dropped the phone. It hit the floor with a loud clatter.
They hadn’t just fallen in love. They had planned this.
Every second. Every word.
They wanted to break her completely, publicly, forever.
Sophia covered her mouth with both hands, holding back the scream rising in her chest.
Claire bent down, picked up the phone, and read the screen. Her face drained of color. “Oh my God…” she whispered. “They planned this. On purpose. This is… this is cruel.”
Sophia couldn’t speak. The pain was too big, too sudden. It felt like her chest had been torn open in front of the whole world.
She curled forward, sobbing into the ruined silk of her wedding dress.
The room stayed silent except for her crying.
Then
a soft scrape at the door.
Something slid underneath and stopped on the carpet.

Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.

One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.

A betrayal.

Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.
Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
