Rising From The Ashes/Inpeaceplace
The world had not forgotten Natalie Evans.Rumors about her abrupt disappearance spread like wildfire through high society, each more outrageous than the last. Some whispered she had fled the country, broken and humiliated. Others insisted she was secretly plotting a grand return, more powerful than ever. There were those who pitied her, believing she had finally succumbed to the overwhelming pressure of rebuilding her life in the public eye. And then there were the cynics, scoffing at the idea that she had truly left at all.Adrian Sinclair listened to all of it in silence, his sharp gray eyes scanning the latest article dissecting her whereabouts.

Rising From The Ashes/Inpeaceplace
The weight of the past never truly disappears—it lingers, waiting for the right moment to resurface.Natalie Evans sat in the dimly lit cabin, the flames from the fireplace flickering against the stone walls. The air smelled of burning wood, crisp mountain air filtering in through the slightly open window. She listened in silence as the person before her detailed everything she had missed since her disappearance."They’re getting desperate," said Evelyn Carter, her voice laced with urgency. Her dark brown eyes flickered with a mix of concern and intrigue. "Adrian's been searching for you like a man possessed. He’s holding private meetings with people he never would have trusted before. The board is restless. They think you're coming back to take everything from him."Natalie exhaled sharply, her fingers tightening around the warm ceramic mug in her hands. "Good.

Rising From The Ashes/Inpeaceplace
The air in the secluded mountain retreat was crisp, the silence broken only by the occasional rustling of leaves outside. Natalie sat by the window, her eyes tracing the jagged edges of the distant peaks. It was time to return, to step back into the world that had once tried to break her.Evelyn watched her from across the room, her expression unreadable. "So, you’ve made up your mind?"Natalie nodded. "I have.""Good," Evelyn said, crossing one leg over the other. "Because the moment you step foot back in the city, all hell will break loose. Adrian won’t sit back and watch. Daniel will try to use you to his advantage. And the vultures in high society? They’ll be circling, waiting for you to stumble."Natalie’s lips curled into a smirk. "Let them. I’m not the woman they remember."Evelyn exhaled sharply, shaking her head with a grin. "That’s what I wanted to hear."By the time Natalie arrived at the private airport, she had already mapped out her next moves. A luxury jet waited on the

Natalie Evans had always been a woman of resilience, but this time, she was returning with more than just determination—she was returning with power.For weeks, she had been watching, waiting, preparing. The whispers of her disappearance had only fueled speculation, but what no one expected was the storm she was about to unleash. The old Natalie—the woman who had been humiliated, underestimated, and discarded—was gone. In her place stood someone far more dangerous.She adjusted the cuff of her tailored suit, standing in front of the full-length mirror of her penthouse. The reflection staring back at her was unrecognizable from the broken woman who had walked out of Adrian Sinclair’s life.

She had spent months crafting her next move, and now, the moment had arrived.A knock on the door pulled her from her thoughts.“Come in.”The door opened, and Daniel Carter strode in, his usual smirk in place. “Y
