In my past life, I worked myself into an early grave designing the city's most iconic skyscraper, only for my fiancé Julian to credit his first love, Serena, while I lay dying. Reborn to the exact day he demands I hand over my blueprints to 'make Serena happy,' I refuse to be his stepping stone. Instead of crying when I catch them in bed, I blast them with a fire extinguisher, cancel the engagement, and take my genius to his billionaire rival. I’m building my own empire now.

For five years, Clara Hayes was the secret wife and ghost-inventor behind Julian's luxury tech empire. But when she crashes his public engagement to a wealthy heiress, Julian brands her a delusional stalker and destroys her life's work. Left with nothing but shattered patents and a broken heart, Clara discovers their marriage was a calculated theft. Now, allied with his deadliest rival, she won't just expose Julian's lies—she's going to dismantle his empire piece by piece.

Morgan gave five years of devotion to her mate, the powerful wizard Andrew, believing their bond was true love. But behind his gentle smiles lay a devastating deception: Andrew only marked her to protect her cousin, Violet, his actual obsession. He even secretly drugged Morgan to prevent her from ever bearing his children, ensuring their bond remained a hollow lie. Driven to the edge, Morgan fakes her death and vanishes, determined to bury her past. While the world mourns the "dead" Luna, Morgan rebuilds herself as a legendary healer in a distant land. But when her miraculous research exposes Violet’s lies, the truth explodes. Now, a regretful Andrew is hunting for a ghost, desperate for a second chance. But Morgan is no longer a pawn. With a new, protective Alpha by her side, will she forgive the man who broke her, or let him burn in the bridges he destroyed?

For three years, I was Julian’s secret ghost-chef. I perfected his menus in the shadows while he basked in Michelin stars. When he announced his engagement to a vicious socialite using our private anniversary dish, I stayed silent. When she burned my hands and he rushed to check her designer dress, I walked away. What Julian doesn't know is that I’m not just a lowly sous-chef—I’m the Vance hospitality heiress. And my new fiancé is about to buy Julian’s entire empire.
