Bree

Ava thought her life couldn't get worse after being sold into marriage to save her family-until her fiancé faked his death, leaving her trapped in a marriage with his father. Now, she's forced into a marriage with the same man who betrayed her, the infuriatingly handsome Orion, who wants nothing to do with her... or so he claims.  

But danger is never far. Orion's vengeful mistress, Chloe, is determined to ruin Ava's life, while the charming and mysterious Mason offers her an escape-but at what cost? As shocking truths unravel and Chloe shows up pregnant for Orion, Ava must navigate a deadly game of love, lies, and betrayal.  

Will Ava flee for her freedom and life, or will the lies and betrayal surrounding Orion destroy her once and for all? Can Orion reclaim his bride?

Reclaiming His Bride

I had never felt such restless pain, the kind that gnawed at my insides and twisted my stomach into knots. 


For weeks, I'd been forced to stay away from Ava, watching from the shadows as her relationship with Mason grew tighter, inching me out of her life. The silence between us was deafening, more suffocating than anything I'd ever endured. 


This was my punishment for not being there for her. 


I couldn’t touch her, couldn’t feel the warmth of her presence next to me. Not because I didn’t want to, but because she asked me to stay away—and I had no choice but to comply. 


The mansion now felt like a prison. I tried my best to avoid Chloe like the plague, her insistent presence only fueling the storm of emotions within me. Even with my mother's constant attempts to bring Chloe and I together, I knew I had to get rid of her. It wasn’t easy, but after much effort, I managed to convince her to leave. 


The last thing I needed was her around, complicating things further.
