In a tale of revenge, rebirth, and romance, Ashlyn Knight rises from the ashes of public humiliation to become one of the most powerful figures in the business world. After being betrayed at her wedding by her fiancé Christopher White and his mistress Penelope, Ashlyn transforms through a strategic marriage to mysterious billionaire Richard Walker, who shares a connection to her past life as a military commander named Hannah. Ashlyn methodically dismantles the White and Knight families' empires, revealing dark secrets including Penelope's involvement in her mother's death and Christopher's illegitimate status. Her revenge plot takes an unexpected turn when she discovers she's actually Steven White's granddaughter through his illegitimate daughter, giving her a legitimate claim to both family empires. Richard, initially a partner in her revenge scheme, proves to be more than just an ally. Their marriage of convenience evolves into a powerful love story as they discover their shared past lives - he was a fellow commander who failed to protect Hannah in their previous existence and has spent this life making amends. The story climaxes at the International Business Summit, where Christopher's desperate attempt to destroy the couple backfires spectacularly. Multiple confrontations lead to Penelope's arrest, Christopher's imprisonment, and the public recognition of Ashlyn's birthright. In a dramatic moment, Richard renews their vows, transforming their tactical alliance into a declaration of true love. The narrative concludes with Ashlyn and Richard's unified empire becoming a model of ethical business leadership. They establish a foundation in her mother's name, helping others who face similar injustices. Their story becomes legendary in both business and social circles, proving that the sweetest revenge isn't just in destroying enemies, but in building something greater from the ashes of trauma while finding true love along the way.

Chapter 1: The Bride's Awakening

"Miss Knight! Miss Knight, can you hear me?"The voice pierced through Ashlyn's fog of consciousness like a distant echo. Her eyelids felt heavy, and a sharp pain radiated from her forehead."Get up! How dare you still pretend to be unconscious?" Christopher's voice cut through the air like ice.Ashlyn's eyes fluttered open. The pristine white marble steps of the church swam into focus, now stained with droplets of red. Her wedding dress, once pure white, was smeared with dirt and blood."I trusted you, Ashlyn." Christopher's voice dripped with contempt. "To think I almost married a woman who's been sleeping around behind my back.""What... what are you talking about?" Her voice came out as a whisper."Oh, now you're playing innocent?" He laughed bitterly. "First the affairs, and now attempting to kill Penelope? You've shown your true colors today.""Kill... Penelope?" The words felt foreign on her tongue."Stop the act!" Christopher grabbed the wedding bouquet from a nearby chair. "Y

Chapter 2: A Marriage of Convenience

Ashlyn sat at her vanity, methodically removing the thick layers of makeup with a cotton pad. Her hands trembled slightly as she wiped away the last traces of foundation. "Miss Knight?" A nurse knocked at the door. "Your step mother would like to know when you will be discharged.""Tell her I'm indisposed." Her voice came out stronger than she expected.As the nurse’s footsteps faded, Ashlyn stared at her reflection. The face looking back at her was identical to Commander Hannah's – every curve, every angle, even the small scar near her left eyebrow."I promise you, Ashlyn," she whispered to the mirror. "I'll make them pay for what they did to you."Her phone buzzed. A message from the family lawyer: "Miss Knight, regarding your mother's shares..."Before she could finish reading, voices drifted up from the garden below her hospital window. She recognized Mrs. White's distinctive tone."Christopher, darling, think about it logically." Mrs. White's voice carried clearly through the ev

Chapter 3: Face with the truth

"Get some sleep. We'll talk tomorrow." Richard said, with a caring voice.At the mansion, an elderly butler greeted them with barely contained excitement."Master Walker! We've prepared the rose suite for the new mistress. I've ordered her favorite champagne, and-""Maxwell." Richard's voice cut through the butler's enthusiasm. "Prepare the blue room instead. And set up the study next to mine."Maxwell's face fell. "But sir, the blue room? That's... that's a warrior's quarter. And Miss Knight's reputation suggests she prefers-""The blue room," Richard repeated firmly. "And get her some proper clothes. Nothing pink.""Yes, sir." Maxwell bowed, clearly confused. "Will you be... sharing a room?""Not tonight." Richard turned to leave. "I need to make a call."In his private office, Richard dialed a number."Jonathan? It's me.""Richard! Did you really get married tonight? The media is going crazy!""Yes." Richard watched Ashlyn through the window as she explored the garden. "I found her

Chapter 4: Unmasked Demons

Mrs. Knight's hand trembled in Ashlyn's iron grip. The cold emptiness in her stepdaughter's eyes made her stomach turn. This wasn't the weak, pathetic girl she knew."What happened to you?" Mrs. Knight whispered, trying to mask her unease with anger. This was not the same girl she was used to bullying. She was something else entirely."I woke up." Ashlyn's lips curved into a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "And I'm not afraid of you anymore. Remember this moment, because soon you'll be living like the animal you truly are."Mrs. Knight's hand froze mid-air as Ashlyn caught her wrist. The elderly woman experienced a sudden stop in her breathing when she saw the empty gaze in her stepdaughter's eyes. Ashlyn cautioned in a gentle tone, "Try it again and I will make sure you spend the rest of your days living as the animal you really are." Mrs. Knight pulled her hand away quickly and began to massage her wrist. "How dare you threaten me in my own home!""Your home?" Ashlyn's laugh was

Chapter 5: Power Play

Christopher's grip on Ashlyn's arm tightened. "What happened to you? How could you be so evil?""Evil?" Ashlyn's cold laugh made him flinch. "What are you going to do about it? Hit me? Go ahead, show everyone what kind of man follows weak women around like a pet dog."Christopher's fist clenched, but he froze when he met her hollow stare. Something in those eyes made his blood run cold.Ashlyn yanked her arm free with surprising strength. "Touch me again, and you'll regret it." She turned to Penelope. "As for you, dear sister, you'll be on your knees begging before I'm done with you. Where's the script?""I-I'm not sure what you mean," Penelope said hesitantly. "Repulsive." Ashlyn cleaned her hands with her dress. "The two of you." She stopped next to a cherry blossom tree outdoors. "I swear to you," she murmured to the breeze, "I will fulfill your wishes." At the dining table, Richard studied her face carefully. "Rough morning?""Nothing I can't handle." Ashlyn straightened. "Actu

Chapter 6: The Diamond Queen's Gambit

The auction hall buzzed with whispers after Richard's bold bid."Twenty million... just like that!""Did you see Christopher's face?""That's what real money looks like."Penelope dug her nails into Christopher's arm. "Why couldn't you bid higher?""Penelope, that's more than our company's quarterly profit—""I don't care! I wanted that diamond!"Ashlyn fingered the magnificent necklace. "Richard, this is excessive.""The look on their faces? Priceless." Richard smirked. "Besides, diamonds suit you better than her."Later at Sparkle & Shine, Jonathan's jaw dropped when Ashlyn entered his office. "Mrs. Walker? You're Richard's wife?""Surprised?""Shocked is more accurate. Richard never mentioned—""I'd like you to remain president," Ashlyn interrupted. "I'm still studying, and the company needs experienced leadership."Jonathan studied her carefully. "You're nothing like the rumors suggest.""Oh?" Ashlyn placed a thick script on his desk. "What do the rumors say?""That you're unsta

Chapter 7: Pawns and Players

"Oh, Ashlyn." Penelope's voice dripped with false concern. "I should warn you about Jonathan. He's just using you to get back at the Knights.""Am I such a fool, Penelope?" Ashlyn's smile was razor-sharp. "Or are you already scared?""Scared?" Penelope laughed nervously. "Of you?"Christopher stepped forward. "If you want to degrade yourself, go ahead. Jonathan shouldn't waste his time.""Bold words from someone who lost a bidding war so spectacularly," Jonathan remarked. "Then again, you've always been blind when it comes to certain things... or people.""What's that supposed to mean?""If you don't know, you're even more foolish than I thought."Penelope touched Ashlyn's arm. "We're just worried. Without us to guide you—"Ashlyn jerked away. "Your concern is noted and dismissed.""Mrs. Walker," Jonathan interrupted, "perhaps we should go. Your husband might worry if you wander too long.""Afraid of Richard, Jonathan?" Christopher sneered."Merely preserving my life. Richard can be q

Chapter 8: Hidden Agendas

The crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow over the elegant party as Jonathan Ross watched Christopher White make his way to Ashlyn."Just one chance," Christopher said, reaching for her hand. "That's all I'm asking."Ashlyn stepped back. "Like the chance you gave me before humiliating me in public?""I can explain—""Save it for Penelope."Jonathan pulled out his phone while observing their interaction. "Marcus? Security protocol alpha. Christopher White is not to set foot in any Sparkle & Shine property.""Effective immediately, sir?""Make it permanent."The next morning, sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Jonathan's office as Ashlyn strode in, her heels clicking against the marble floor."Here." She dropped a stack of headshots on his desk. "These are my picks."Jonathan leafed through the photos. "Five candidates?""Interview them tomorrow." She circled names in red ink. "I want someone who can capture... innocence turning to betrayal.""Speaking of betrayal.

Chapter 9: Diamonds and Daggers

"She's insane," Christopher paced the private study. "Completely insane!""What exactly did she demand?" Mrs. White clutched her champagne glass."That I publicly announce Penelope seduced me. That she manipulated everything." He slammed his fist against the mahogany desk. "She wants me to destroy Penelope's reputation to clear her name.""Absolutely not! The Knights would never recover from such scandal.""Exactly. She knows what she's asking is impossible."Mrs. White's eyes narrowed. "Then we'll play a different game. Marry her first—""Mother—""Listen to me! Once she's legally bound to you, you can make amends with Penelope privately."Christopher scoffed. "You think Ashlyn would agree?""Please. She'll be desperate to have you back. What other options does she have?"The study door burst open. "The Knights have arrived!"In the grand ballroom, whispers followed Penelope like perfume."Stunning!""Such grace!""Who cares about legitimacy with beauty like that?"Penelope basked
