MiuNovels

I once believed I was the heroine of a modern fairytale, blessed with beauty, wealth, intelligence, and a powerful legacy. Men adored me, women envied me, and I was engaged to the most desirable man, Cole Fay. My life seemed perfect, a dream where I held the starring role.

But on my eighteenth birthday, that illusion crumbled. The truth hit me hard: I wasn't the protagonist, nor even the villain or a side character. I was just cannon fodder, a disposable part of someone else's story.

But when fate recognized the cruel joke of my life, I was granted a second chance. This time, I'll write my own story, living for myself.

And this time . . .

I will never love you again.

Rebirth: Love me Again

It became obvious almost immediately—Robert wasn't here to mend his broken relationship with Daniel. He was here for me.

The way he introduced Dan, with a rehearsed air of pride, made it clear that his true intention was to present his legitimate son as a more 'worthy' suitor for me than Daniel Foster.

Talk about a loving father.

"My son here graduated at the top of his class," Robert continued, clearly boasting for my benefit. "He's my successor, smart, accomplished, and quite the gentleman. Not to brag, but he holds a double degree. He's truly the pride of our family."

I had no doubt he is your son. You have the same pride and arrogant on your face.

Dan leaned forward slightly, his gaze settling on me. "Hello, Lina," he said, his voice low and smooth, laced with a deliberate charm. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
