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

I paced the length of my apartment, phone clutched tightly in my hand. My mind raced with worry, and my heart felt like it might leap out of my chest at any moment. Every passing second without a clear answer only heightened my anxiety.

Finally, my phone buzzed, and Zen's name flashed on the screen.

I immediately picked up. "Zen? Please tell me Cole's okay."

On the other end, Zen's voice was steady, almost calming. "He's fine, Eve. I brought him home, and he's safe. Nothing happened."

I let out a shaky breath, a wave of relief washing over me. "What do you mean, 'nothing happened'? What was he even doing with her?"

Zen hesitated briefly, then replied, "It was just business. That's all. They had a conversation—nothing more. You don't have to worry."
