She lost everything—but she's about to take it all back. Betrayed by her husband and stepsister, Juliette Winchester watched her world crumble. Her thriving company—a legacy inherited from her mother—was stolen, her children were ripped away, and the life she'd built was reduced to ashes. Left with nothing but her will to survive, she disappears into the shadows, vowing to return stronger. She fulfills that vow five years later when she emerges as a woman transformed—powerful, confident, and ready to reclaim what’s hers. But what she doesn't expect along the way is an unexpected ally in the form of a rich investment mogul who has always had feelings for her. When he reignites feelings she thought were long buried, Juliette must choose between the vengeance she craves and the future she deserves. This is her reckoning—and no one will stand in her way.

Sources say..."Shit!Shit!!Shit!!!I couldn't believe him. Really?He announced her dead?!Did he do that as a part of his strategy or because he didn't know what had happened at the facility? I mean, something could have happened to make him clueless, but I wasn't sure about that. Luke adjusted himself beside me in my study and waited for me to say something.I really had nothing to say, to be honest. Her best friend knew nothing about her whereabouts, I knew nothing about her whereabouts, and she was still nowhere to be found, meaning she could as well be dead.Arghhh!!I ran my hand through my hair and sat back down behind my desk.What do we do now? Well, I did have an idea of what I wanted to do, but I needed a plan. One strategic plan that isn't going to end in a dead end.Ah!I sat up in my seat and turned to Luke, who sat up, alert
Juliette Oh God. They were inside already. I could hear the pleasantries they were exchanging along with the unnaturally high voice of Summer trying to warn me. Oh God. Who was it? James? Vanessa? Nah, there was no way Vanessa was here to see Summer. Summer literally hated her guts and didn't even hide it most of the time, so it wasn't her. As for James, I hope not. I don't know who else could possibly be here and chatting so brightly with— "So, Mr. Cole... What can I offer you?" Mr. Cole? Which Cole? I only knew about two to three Coles that I couldn't even bring to mind now because of how exhausted I was, but I did know most of them to be business partners I've related to before. Wait, is it that Cole? I leaned closer to the door and strained my ear in the guest room where I was hiding when I heard them start their conversation again, though I couldn't really hear what they were saying now. "... Juliette..." I felt my heart skip a beat right before
Dominic "Dom..." "Can you hear me?" Arghhh! I winced once I tried to move on the bed, where I opened my eyes hours later, and I found my friend's face right in front of mine when I finally saw past the blur that had greeted me once I came to. "Dom, can you—" "Yes. Fuck! I can hear you!" I managed to sit on the bed with his help, groaning at the pain that went through my whole body, not to talk of my arm that felt like it was glued to my shoulder. Ah… a cast. Fuck, I was in the hospital; it was quite obvious by the beeping machines beside me and the very distinct smell of antiseptic. I glanced at Luke when he sat down on the stool beside me, "What the fuck happened? I met you unconscious by the roadside." Right! Juliette. Fuck! I sat up even more, or tried to, making him more alarmed. "What?!* "Juliette. What of Juliette?" "Juliette? Oh right... You said she was with you... Wait..." He paused when he saw the look on my face. "Fuck! Was she... Oh my God, was she in the ac
DominicI found the room the guy went into a few minutes later, stuffing the rest of the syringes I had found in the doctor's pocket after finding out how effective they were, and I gripped one of the syringes in my hand as I went.If I had any more luck left, I would be able to snuff the guy with this and leave with Juliette.Guess I didn't have any left because the first thing that greeted me on entering the room was a bullet to my head that I barely managed to dodge.The next thing I knew was a fist hitting my face and the breath leaving my lungs as the guy slammed me straight to the floor, and he climbed over me almost immediately.The fuck?!How did he...It was almost as if he knew I had been coming."Who are you?"He asked as I finally managed to see past the pain that had spread all over my face, thanks to his punch, and I took in his features.The brown eyes, the sharp jaw, the crooked nose...The fact was I didn't know him; neither did he, because he had asked that question,
DominicThe ride went on for a while with many twists and turns, the car making its way out of Manhattan and into New Jersey, and we were on the road for about another hour before we both ended up on the outskirts of town.The fuck?The car was making its way into a pretty empty facility now, which could mean nothing but... Nah, it was obvious this meant something.I drew closer to the facility after the gate locked behind the car, its surroundings looking too sketchy and quiet as I glanced around, and I parked further up on the empty street after a little while.We were going to go in and check.But first, I had to change from this shirt I had on to a black tee; thankfully, I had one in the back seat of my car, which I immediately put on.Next, contact someone.I had only one person I could trust, and even though he was going to kill me for disrupting his plans, I had no other choice but to call him."Ugh, I'm so going to kill you if this ends up being nothing." He ended the call wit
Dominic"No!" James spoke first, breaking the silence. "My wife is fine and well, so why would I take over her position?""I never said she wasn't fine. Just suggesting you take over since you're the CEO anyway, and do you really think the public and major players in the industry would trust someone who has been to a mental institute as the chairperson? No offense."James looked genuinely annoyed by that."Okay, settle down...""Mr. Lee.""Mr. Lee. Such a proposal should have been made properly before the meeting, you know the protocols, not brought up in the middle of a meeting. You should know better.""Sorry, sir.""Mr. Polanski..." The chairperson pointed at another shareholder who raised his hand.Oh no, I knew where this was going almost immediately."I do agree with Mr. Lee, though. Yes, it's informal, but he isn't lying.""And I'm not saying we're not going to discuss this. We'll just have to leave it to our next meeting after a formal request has been made."The chairperson a
Dominic "Breaking news—renowned real estate mogul Juliette Winchester-Wright admitted to a mental facility after a recent attempt on her life. According to her husband, who is also the CEO of Winchester Properties, James Wright, the now mother and wife had actually been diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression for almost a year now, which had led to her disconnecting from reality and making multiple attempts on her life. She..."I closed up the article I was reading and checked the date it had been released with a sigh.Five days ago.Almost a week."Yet you still haven't found the mental institute?" I asked my assistant, Luke, who looked up at me through the car mirror."No. Most of the known mental institutes in the state have no record of Miss Winchester's admission.""And outside the country?" Maybe her husband had decided to get her help abroad for extra privacy or decided to admit her under another name for that same reason."I'm yet to get conclusive data on that.""Make i
Juliette "Wow. She must be losing it, huh?"I slipped to the floor, still laughing while they both stared and watched me."I guess it'll just make things easier. Don't you think?"I had just about another minute of numbness and hysterical laughter before I felt a sting on my neck.The darkness after that was more than welcome.At least it'll shield me from the reality that was now my world.****I woke up to another ceiling hours later, maybe a day later; I wouldn't know, but what I knew for sure was that my whole body was sore.Fuck!Where was I?I tried to take in my surroundings and paused when I suddenly felt a restraint on my hands and legs.What?I tried to figure out what it was, pulling hard with both my hands and legs in an attempt to break free, but the struggle only made the leather bite into my skin more.What the fuck is going on?I paused in my attempt to break free when the only door in the room opened suddenly to reveal a man in a shirt and a doctor's coat.Behind him
Juliette.The paparazzi did attempt to eat me alive using this accident as time went by but James managed to put it under control.The family of the driver was compensated, and I was discharged the day after that, making it exactly twenty-four hours that I spent in the hospital.During that time, I managed to convince myself that I needed therapy and had probably only imagined everything.There was no way this loving guy had done all that I saw.It must be my imagination.I smiled slightly at him and closed the door of the car with his help once we made it to his car outside.Mine was at the mechanics for repairs."Thanks."He shook his head and kissed my forehead after getting into the driver's seat."The kids will be so happy to see you."Well, I couldn't wait to see them too.Thankfully it was the weekend, so there wasn't the case of them needing to go to school."Yeah..."I smiled slightly when he slipped his hand around mine as he started the car and we drove like that in comfort
November 15th10 pm.The despair finally got to me after one week, the drugs and treatment dissolving my resolve after much resistance and fights, and I actually started to see things in the very white and confined room I was in.The shadows that were always in the corner, mocking me and laughing.You are a failure.You fell for his trick.You are such a fool.I laughed hysterically, mocking myself too because I had seen the signs but ignored them.I had thought maybe I was just overthinking things, but here I was now, tied to a bed while they got to live my life forever."Ha ha ha ha ha," I laughed hysterically again, feeling myself start to go mad as the thoughts ran through my head again, and I scowled when a nurse came in to give me another dose of drug.I wondered what it was.A drug to make me actually feel better or a drug to make me mad.Probably the latter since that is what they want, right?I protested a little, feeling myself resist as she injected the liquid into my blood...
