The Broken Ring: Rewriting the Illegitimate Heiress' Fate
"Rupert Zachary Kilmer. Do you take Lianna Callis Smith as your lawful wife? To have and to hold, from this day forward. For better, for worse. For richer or poorer. In sickness and in health, until death do you part?”
"I most certainly do, father…"
Nearing the day, he'd finally be tied to the woman he loves, Rupert Kilmer eagerly waited for her sweet answer. Those two words and the priest's declaration of their union. Yet, as he unveiled the woman in white, the face that appeared wasn't his bride.
"Eridessa…? Wait what? Where's Lia?"
***
Lianna Callis Smith thought she'd be a lot happier when she regained her vision. Yet, tears drenched her cheeks as she came home after her surgery, finally seeing the treachery she'd been sensing back when she's still blind.
Her marriage only lasted…for two years. For the man she so loved, was on top of another, in her very home.
Facing the blame of his affair, Lianna watched in melancholy from afar, as Rupert was wed to another. However, to her surprise, it wasn't just her who stood on the same building, watching that very scene.
"You…you're—"
Before the strange man could mutter his words, both met darkness until they woke up, back in three years time.
"Let's get married, Jasper Wayne. Let's show them…what they…who they wasted…this…we don't deserve any of this…
"In this life, let's live happily…"

Chapter: Chapter 70: Abhorrent Encounter"Shit! I'm late!" Lianna exclaimed, followed by a series of shrieks and clumsy sprint to the bathroom. A bunch of curses echoed on the tiled walls, complaining about how she got quite a lengthy sleep. Too comfortable to earn her a hectic morning.It only took her a speedy few minutes to collect herself into a rather decent look before grabbing her messy things and dumping them in her bag."Hey. Where are you off this early in the morning?" Traversing down the staircase, her head tilted to the source of the sound.Sneaking a peek from the kitchen, Jasper's head popped up to meet her disheveled gaze."Oh Jasper, you're still here. Can I ride with you to the office? I forgot to set up the alarm and I'm seriously late." She pleaded while trying to grab hold of all the things she needed to bring. Both of her hands were busy and cluttered as it is, making her attention flying everywhere.However, Lianna raised her head once again when she realizes something."Wait…why are you not dressed? A

Chapter: Chapter 69: Sensing Something Unpleasant"Finally, that lasted far too long."Jasper breathes out a tired sigh, loosening down the black tie that seemed to choke out the living shit out of him for the entire afternoon."Good work today, Mr. Wayne. You've been quite impressive these past few months. So impressive, I almost thought you became a different person." The silence he was craving after a long, hectic meeting immediately was thrown out of the window when a familiar voice came up behind him."Mr. Lim. It's nothing to cause such high regards." Jasper plastered a fake smile as he turned to meet the middle-aged man exiting the board room after him.Despite the friendly word, his brows twitched at the sight of the shameless man who used to ridicule him in the past, now seemingly shining the widest smile he could offer."Humble, at that. Now that I'm seeing clearly, you're slowly resembling your father and elder siblings. I guess, it's in the blood no matter how one looks.""Maybe it is…" "Oh well. Enough of that. I'm curi

Chapter: Chapter 68: Make A Move and You'll Regret It"Oh would you look at that…the blind girl finally has minions following her. An upgrade, is it?" Eridessa glanced at Seria, who froze in nervousness. Her hands holding the cards visibly shaking.Despite the smiling face, Seria knows that the newly arrived woman is someone who's up to no good."Weren't you listening back then? The blind girl is no longer blind. Might that be you? Can't you see we're having fun for ourselves?" Lianna lazily looks at her, ticking her off with the unexpected attitude."How rude, Lianna. I was just catching up with you…" Despite her remark, Lianna still caught on to the grit."Here I am wondering where you went after the wedding? Oh! Was it the honeymoon? Tsk. My bad. I was also busy with mine so it slipped my mind. Congratulations on your wedding, Mrs. Kilmer. I heard you had a SPECTACULAR ceremony. I'm jealous." Lianna didn't know where she got the courage to speak such sharp words but she did, like it's a natural thing to do."Is it me or you look quite

Chapter: Chapter 67: PartypooperLosing count of all the time passed, Lianna sighs heavily as she lazily slumps towards her desk. This was the first time she felt so drained and tired going back and forth outside of her comfort zone.For someone who spent most of her life in the vicinity of her home, this was a new chapter of her. A new accomplishment, not as Lianna Smith or Kilmer, but as Lianna Callis Kreisler Wayne.Yet, her new identity and status has its limits. With the challenge of building an entertainment agency from the ground, a lot of things emerged to be settled. Despite being declared an heir and a wife of a powerful man, Lianna hasn't proven herself, hence the people she had met were quite wary in involving themselves with her for business relations. In the eyes of such wealthy businessmen, she was just a newborn.She was discouraged at first, yet, the pressure that was building gave her a boost to cease the sulking and step up her game. Despite the countless rejections to hire a talent, she remained p

Chapter: Chapter 66: Sudden Shift of Responsibility"You're back too early." Chairman Leo greeted Lianna when she entered his main office.She trailed her eyes to the entire space before walking towards his table at the very front. She still couldn't get used to how beautiful the interiors in this office were."I need to be prepared. Anyways, what should I do?" Lianna asked. A week after they got back from their trip, she was to officially report to the office, hence marching inside the building with nervousness. A lot of people were watching her every move and it's taking her all not to collapse in anxiety from their intense stares.'Geez…back then, I didn't have to worry about such attention.' She muttered to herself."Here. Read it." He pulled a folder from one of the drawers and lent it to her. Confusion instantly came over her when she read the details inside."An entertainment branch? From what I remember, the Kreisler family doesn't dwell in that type of industry." Before the wedding, she underwent training under him for a shor

Chapter: Chapter 65: Ironic Parallel"Greetings. You've arrived." As soon as they reached the parking lot, they were met with a few, black suited men."Lance…how're you doing?" Jasper calls out the man in front, seemingly leading the other men with him. With his usual, black outfit, Lance bows before responding."Doing good sir." He answered briefly. Lianna then calls him next. It's been a while since she saw her stoic guard again."Hello, sir Romero. Good to see you again.""You too, Madam. I see you're doing well." He flashes a reserved smile."Yup. I had a great time." She spoke joyfully, returning the smile she received.Meanwhile, Jasper twitches his brows. His eyes switched between the two, who were currently exchanging greetings."We have finished loading the luggage, so–" before Lance could continue, Jasper cut him off."Actually, Lance. Give me the keys." He spoke, his palm suspended in the air, waiting."Pardon?""Ride with Taylor this time. I'll drive the both of us." When he responded, he turned to Lianna. Se

Yours Truly, Murphy
Caius Vannister, despite his reputation as one of the most eligible bachelors of the country, was a one-woman-man kind of guy. He had imposed strict rules upon himself, and that is to be loyal to just one woman. He laid no woman in his bed for years, which is why he knew he was in trouble when he felt the heat and the beast awakened at the sight of the drunk Murphy who one night, accidentally barged on his VIP room.
Having tasted the sweet scent and pleasure he didn't know existed, he desperately searched for the lady, who fortunately left her business card, the morning he woke up alone. Realizing that the lady was closely acquainted with his cousin, Casper and his wife, a playful smirk was painted on his lips.
"Architect Murphy Jayden…you're mine…”
As Murphy tried to shoo him away, he was adamant to claim the lips, the body, and the heart of the lady who, from the start, stole his. Caius vowed to know everything about her to plan his next steps, that his vast connection was put to the test when he found no single information about her, apart from what he knew from Casper. Pondering about it for far too long, he could only utter one thing...
"Who are you truly, milady?”

Chapter: Chapter 2: The Unexpected GuestPutting on the last earring to her right ear, a sound from her phone caught her attention. Checking it out, it was a message from Casper. “I already sent a driver to your place. He should be there for a few minutes. We’ll see you at the mansion later. Take care.” “Tsk. Directions would have sufficed.” Murphy thought when she read the message. As much as she wanted to decline, another message popped up. It was the driver Casper sent, informing her that he had already arrived at the entrance of the apartment building. Not wanting to make him wait, Murphy hurried and grabbed her bag and shoes, sparing one final look at her reflection in the mirror. She was wearing a white semi-formal dress. Casper told her to just wear anything, but her nervousness in meeting the Vannister patriarch and the rest of the family members, made her throw out the idea of wearing ‘just anything’. After long hours of rummaging through her wardrobe, she just ended up wearing a business suit-style dress. Pai

Chapter: Chapter 1: An InvitationA loud knock was heard echoing through the walls of the room, catching the attention of the woman preoccupied with wrapping her things up. It was already 4pm in the afternoon, and the end of her long day at work.Sparing a glance at the glass door on her left, a woman clothed in an all-white sleek suit ensemble was seen leaning on the glass surface, with her right knuckles raised for the knock. A teasing smile was plastered on her sharp features, causing the latter person to shake her head upon recognizing the familiar presence. “Hey, Murph. Ready to go home, I see” the woman who had just arrived, casually walked towards her with crossed arms in place. Murphy, upon seeing her boss, spared her a smile before diverting her focus back to what she was currently doing. “Yup. As you probably know, my mind has already checked out since lunchtime. I’m just hurrying to go out before you add more tasks to my list~” Murphy jokingly replied while her boss gave out a fake shock at her demeanor.

Chapter: PrologueA strong, irritating sensation came flashing in the eyes of the man who was still hazy upon suddenly being woken up by a light, dampening his sensitive eyelids with a familiar warmth. As he opened his eyes, a sophisticated ceiling laced with wooden elements greeted his blurry sight.Regaining a clear vision, he soon realizes that he was still in the VIP room of the club, Ethan owned. His right palm was raised to block the peeking sunlight from the white curtains."Damn. That was a nice dream" he uttered as he reminisced about what he had dreamt.It was still vivid in his mind, but the image of the woman he was with was as clear as crystal. He felt something different. Something he had never experienced before.No matter how he was seduced, be it naked or anything, he was never aroused. Sure, he did pleasure himself countless times before. But none of it tops the pleasure that woman gave him.And by top, he meant the literal. "That woman…damn, she was riding me." He couldn't help but
