Lia Winget POV“What?” Lucian frowned, confusion flickering in his eyes.Yeah, that’s right. I want to talk to this bitch Janet. Just her and me. Not with Dalton. Not with Lucian. I can’t.Lucian would just keep interfering—doing his little knight-in-shining-armor act—never letting me tear into her the way she deserves.This bitch. Years of scheming to ruin her life, and here she is, draped in pity, acting like some tragic heroine. Again, someone’s backing her. Again, she wriggled out of the gutter I shoved her into.I hated her from the start. From the moment she walked into the Winget family like she belonged—like I didn’t. She always made me feel like I wasn’t the real daughter. Which I wasn’t, so I fixed it.I took her parents. Her fiancé. Tossed her into prison. She doesn’t get happiness—not while I’m breathing.She’ll rot in misery for the sin of being the Winget family’s real daughter.I might be adopted, but even she knows I’m worth more. She’s the side piece I crush under my

Janet Winget POVEven I wanted to ask her why it mattered what I did, or why Lucian gave me the job after everything.It’s not like I took the job from Maris or the Winget family.Why can’t she just see me happy?Even though she’s the adopted daughter of my parents, they never cared for me. She never saw me as her sister.When I was a child, I used to see her as a sister—but she always made sure I remembered: even after sharing blood with my own parents, they were her parents.After spoiling my life, after putting me in jail—She really had to come here, insult me, act like I’m the problem.What did I even do to her? Nothing I can remember.And even if I did, she already ruined my whole life. What more does she need? Can’t she just leave me alone now—let me live?What wrong did I ever do to Dalton? Just loved him more than myself.And even he never once thought about how much pain he caused me.Sitting here, holding Lia in his arms, when not long ago he told me I was still his fiancée

Janet Winget POV“Miss, we are here,” the driver announced, breaking my train of thought.“Thank you.” I climbed out of the cab. Yeah, Lucian agreed to let me go alone without him.It had taken a few arguments, but in the end, he relented.With one condition—that I take a cab rather than any other means of transport.I had wanted to argue about that too, but I didn’t want to be even later or spark a bigger fight.Facing the large building in front of me, my heart hammered faster than it already was.Why wouldn’t it?I had a job now—a stable one. Happiness bloomed in my chest, boundless and bright.At least after suffering my whole life, I finally had something I could call mine.I walked inside. Yesterday, the secretary had shown me around, but now, alone, the place felt so much bigger.Lucian really was something. As far as I knew, he had no ties to the Maris family, so building this business on his own, without any support, was impressive.I clutched the strap of my bag a little tig

Janet Winget POV“Why are you not ready yet?”As I came out of my room, I saw Lucian, already dressed in a three-tiered suit, sipping something from a cup.My mind rebooted. Damn, I forgot he’s going to stay here from now on.I glanced down at myself, realizing I was still in my night suit, looking like a complete fool.He scanned me from head to toe. “You look no less than a cutie, Janet.”Why could I hear the mocking in his voice? “What are you doing?”“Are you still sleepy? Can’t you see I’m drinking coffee? We only have one hour left before we need to leave for the office.” His words snapped my brain awake.I had overslept after staying up too late last night, exhaustion dragging me down even now.Even my mind felt foggy, still trying to catch up from sleep.“I’m going to be late.” I spun around and hurried back into my room to get ready.“You won’t get late. When the boss of the company is sitting here, no matter how long you take, you can never be late,” Lucian called after me.

Lucian Ashford POV“Roger, boss.” I smiled.She didn’t know she was walking straight into my trap, no matter how much she wanted to deny it.The plan hadn’t been for me to stay here. The idea had come to me suddenly.And it would work better this way. I wasn’t about to let the Maris family find any excuse to insult me—or Janet.She didn’t realize I was the only well-wisher she’d ever had.I loved it that way, even if it hurt sometimes that she didn’t remember me. Didn’t remember the promises we’d made together.Still, it was better than having nothing at all.Dalton had come into her life before me, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t erase his existence.I would be the last—and only—man in Janet’s life.“I cooked, so don’t you think you should wash the dishes?” I pointed toward her as she started to leave.I didn’t actually want her to wash them. I could’ve done it myself. But this way, I’d get a little more time with her.I wanted to spend every second I could—her cute reactions always

Janet Winget POVThe spoon slipped from my hand, clattering against the table.“Why are you so shocked?” Lucian’s voice was maddeningly casual, like he hadn’t just bombed me with a question that knocked the breath out of me.This man. “Did you hear yourself?” I gritted out.“Of course I did. How wouldn’t I, when my ears are perfectly fine?”Sometimes it felt like he made it his mission to spike my blood pressure—and then acted like he had no idea why I was reacting.I am pissed.He kept doing things that made my heart drop, then behaved like I was the one overreacting.“Then you should think before speaking, Lucian. What do you mean, you want to stay here?”“I mean exactly what I said.” His eyes held mine, steady and unbothered. “It’s already so late. How heartless do you have to be to send me away—especially after I cooked for you?”I dug my nails into my palm. Why did his words always make it sound like I was in the wrong when it was his nonsense causing all this?“You’re an adult.

Chester POVAva stared at me, wide-eyed, as if she might faint any second. She really was something.Hadn’t she just been talking about me a moment ago? Being a vampire had its perks. Our hearing was sharper than any other being’s—and I was a vampire king. Mine was sharper than most.Mark grunted in surprise as I dragged a chair over and slid it beside Ava’s. She stiffened, her hands clenching the sides of her seat.“Embo’s outside,” I said, flicking a glance at Mark. Always tailing Embo like a shadow. I needed him gone—needed time alone with Ava. There were things we had to discuss. Things about that motherfucker Austin. Who he really was—and why he’d been so hell-bent that day.Mark hesitated, glancing between us.“How did you hear us?” asked the girl next to Ava. Amelia, if I remembered right.I leaned back lazily, smirking. “From my ears. You both can leave. I need to talk with my mate.”“She doesn't have a wolf,” Mark snapped. “You can’t just claim her.”His words barely register

Ava Wilson POVMy body shivered, no matter how hard I tried to stay calm. But how could I?Chester’s face haunted me all week—the way he kissed me, the way he made me come. I couldn’t shut it off.My mind kept replaying it again and again.Heat crept up the back of my neck. “Can you shut up? We’re in the middle of the hall, and this is what you’re talking about?” I kept my voice low.“You’re the Alpha’s daughter—why are you so scared?” He grinned, like it was some kind of joke.I shook my head and sighed. “Don’t you have classes?”“I do. Actually, we all have the same class—but it’s cancelled. Teacher’s on leave.”Amelia and I exchanged a look. We’d come all the way here, and the first class wasn’t even happening.“Why the sour mood? We can hang in the canteen—it’s not the end of the world. You usually hated classes anyway. Always skipped them,” Mark said.I didn’t know if he was right or not. Having no memories after being reborn wasn’t exactly easy. But at least I got another chance

Ava Wilson POV "It's been a week you've been resting. How about starting school today?" Mom brushed her hand through my hair, smiling gently. "I already talked to the administration about your memory loss. They’re fine with it. I think you should catch up with everything." I smiled. I was truly enjoying my life. Everything finally felt in place—days passing peacefully, my world steady and whole. Austin... my past... everything I'd lost before—I was making up for it, piece by piece. Having my parents beside me, not missing a single moment, made life so much better. Now, as Mom suggested school, I couldn't help but hesitate. Because it meant seeing Austin’s face again. "Amelia’s missing school because of you," Mom added, her voice light but teasing. "Tomorrow’s her birthday." How could I forget? Amelia would never complain. She always acted more like a maid than a sister, no matter how hard I tried to treat her like family. But it was her eighteenth birthday.

Ava Wilson POV I turned and met Mark’s eyes. He stood there with his arms crossed, suspicion carved into his expression. That look was becoming all too familiar, and I wasn’t sure if I was annoyed or just exhausted by it. Mark always had a way of getting under my skin. We hadn’t known each other long, but somehow, he’d mastered the art of testing my patience. “Why do you look so shocked?” His tone sounded casual, but the intensity in his gaze sent a knot twisting in my stomach. I folded my arms, exhaling slowly. “It’s not shock, Mark. It’s irritation. You’re just… inconvenient.” His lips twitched, forming a smirk that managed to look both amused and calculating. “Inconvenient? That’s one way to put it. Especially for someone mated to the vampire king.” His voice dropped, laden with meaning. I froze, keeping my expression carefully neutral, though his words scraped against my composure. *What does he know?* “Rumors don’t mean anything,” I snapped, narrowing my eyes. “Unl

Ava Wilson POVI leaped in surprise at the sudden deep voice that shook me to my core. My eyes fell upon the person who had appeared out of nowhere, his intense blue eyes staring at us as if he could tear Austin apart and then turn to me. The intensity of his gaze sent shivers down my spine, and I knew this encounter wouldn't end well."I said leave her, you..." He cut Austin off, pulling him away and gripping my wrist firmly, scaring me even more. His impact was so strong that I couldn't help but tremble in fear.Things would not go well if he continued like this. Austin tried to reason with him, matching Chester's gaze, but he was much shorter and looked like a kid in front of the bulky Chester.Chester growled with anger, and it startled me. He growled like a vampire, which I couldn't deny was kind of sexy and embarrassing because it turned me on.Amelia looked around, making me realise that everyone was watching us, which was not good. My parents weren't present, but they would he

Ava Wilson POVAs I lay on the bed, a sudden voice reached my ears, and there was my mom, entering the room."You're feeling fine, right?" she asked, her concern palpable.Why did she come asking all of a sudden? Could she have found out about the mischief Mark and I pulled, and did Amelia spill the beans to her?It doesn't seem like that's the case, as Amelia seems like someone who knows how to keep mysteries to herself.Yet, it's hard to believe that mom is just stressed. I tried to shield myself with the blanket, not wanting to reveal my injuries to her.Hidden beneath the blanket, my heart raced with mixed emotions. I didn't want my mom to worry about me, but at the same time, it felt comforting to have her here, showing genuine concern."I'm okay, Mom," I replied, trying my best to sound reassuring. "Just a little tired, that's all."She came closer and sat beside me on the bed, her warm hand gently brushing a strand of hair away from my face. "You can tell me anything, you know.
