Description

Zorina thought marrying Kael Veridan, heir to the powerful Veridan family, would bring her love and respect. Instead, it turned her into an invisible servant in her own home. When Kael announces his engagement to the glamorous governor's daughter, Liora, Zorina's world crumbles. Betrayed and humiliated, she demands a divorce, ready to reveal her true identity-the secret daughter of the president and the hidden force behind the Veridan family's success. But as Kael realizes the powerful, independent woman he's underestimated, will his love for Liora hold, or will he come running back to the wife who was always his greatest ally?

Chapter 1

Nov 13, 2025

Zorina stood in the kitchen, inspecting trays of hors d'oeuvres while directing the staff.

“No, the napkins go with the silverware, not on the side. Let’s keep the table settings consistent,” she instructed, her tone calm but firm.

It was the family’s annual end-of-year party, a tradition Kael’s late mother had started and one Zorina now ensured continued flawlessly.

“Mrs. Veridan,” a maid whispered, approaching Zorina hesitantly, “Mr. Kael asked if you could oversee the flower arrangements personally. He said they must match the governor’s daughter’s dress.”

Zorina froze for a moment, confusion flickering across her face. “The governor’s daughter?”

“Yes, ma’am,” the maid replied. “She’s attending tonight.”

Zorina’s brows knitted. What business did the governor’s daughter have at a Veridan family party? She pushed the thought aside, unwilling to let her curiosity disrupt the evening. “I’ll handle it. Thank you.”

Moments later, Kael strode into the kitchen, his presence commanding as always. “Zorina, the flowers need to be flawless,” he said without preamble.

“They will be,” she assured him, though his dismissive tone stung.

“Good,” he replied, already turning to leave.

“Kael,” Zorina called after him, “is there something special about tonight? You seem unusually... invested.”

He paused, his expression unreadable. “It’s the end of the year. It’s always special.” With that, he left, leaving Zorina with more questions than answers.

Zorina oversaw every detail of the preparations. She personally arranged the crimson roses and ivory lilies in tall crystal vases, ensuring they were as breathtaking as ever.

The dining room sparkled under the grand chandelier, the table set with the finest china and silverware.

Yet, unease tugged at her. The mention of the governor’s daughter lingered in her mind.

Guests of high status often attended the Veridan parties, but Kael’s insistence on perfection felt different this time.

“Mrs. Veridan,” one of the staff called, snapping her out of her thoughts. “The guests have started arriving.”

Zorina smoothed her navy-blue gown, one of the few luxuries she allowed herself. It wasn’t new, but it fit her perfectly, and she hoped it would help her feel less invisible tonight.

As she stepped into the grand foyer, the sound of laughter and polite chatter filled the air.

Zorina greeted guests with practiced grace, her smile never faltering even as her mind continued to churn.

And then, the laughter seemed to grow louder, brighter. A woman entered the room, her presence commanding attention.

Liora Hestrel, the governor’s daughter, swept in wearing an emerald gown that shimmered like sunlight on water.

“Kael!” Liora exclaimed, her voice like bells. She crossed the room with ease, her eyes locking onto him.

Kael greeted her with a smile that Zorina couldn’t remember him ever giving her.

“Liora,” he said warmly, taking her hand. “You look stunning.”

Zorina stood at a distance, watching the exchange. Her stomach twisted, though she couldn’t quite place why.

Kael was polite to all guests, but there was an intimacy in his tone, a softness in his gaze that made her heart sink.

“Everyone, please gather around,” Kael’s voice boomed, pulling Zorina from her thoughts. “I have an important announcement to make.”

The room quieted, all eyes on him. Zorina moved closer, her pulse quickening. Kael raised his glass, his smile broad.

“Today, I want to share some joyous news,” he began, his tone warm, almost intimate. “Liora and I will be married in a month. This union not only strengthens our family’s ties with the governor’s but is something I’ve personally looked forward to for a long time.”

Zorina’s world tilted.

Married?

Her lips parted in shock as the room erupted in polite applause. She searched Kael’s face for some sign that this was a cruel joke, but he didn’t even glance her way.

“Kael,” she said, her voice cutting through the applause. “May I speak with you?”

He frowned but nodded, leading her to a quieter corner.

“What is the meaning of this?” she demanded, her tone low but trembling with emotion. “You’re marrying someone else?”

Kael’s expression was as calm as ever. “Yes. Polygamy is legal here, Zorina. I don’t see why this is an issue.”

Her heart pounded. “You don’t see why it’s an issue?” she echoed, disbelief laced in every word. “I’m your wife, Kael. Have you even considered how I feel?”

Kael’s gaze hardened. “Feelings have nothing to do with this. It’s a strategic decision. Our family gains influence, and I—” he paused, his lips curling into a smirk—“I gain happiness.”

“Happiness?” Zorina’s voice cracked. “What about the sacrifices I’ve made?””

“Sacrifice?” Kael scoffed. “Zorina, you’re the daughter of a nobody. If it weren’t for my father, you wouldn’t even be standing here.”

His words struck like a physical blow. Zorina stared at him, her throat tightening.

“I see,” she whispered. “So, this is how you’ve always seen me.”

Kael sighed impatiently. “I don’t have time for this drama. The decision is final. You’ll remain in the household, and I expect you to behave accordingly.”

Never Just Friends

I Wanna Ruin Our Friendship

I've always been "the quiet, nerdy girl." The girl with her nose buried in a book, the girl people barely notice. But my world is a lot more complicated than it seems. You see, I'm absolutely, hopelessly in love with my best friend, Logan Reyes-the bad boy everyone wants but nobody can quite hold onto. And he has no idea. Logan and I have been friends forever. We banter, we laugh, and we're close. But to him, I'm just Emma, the girl he'll confide in about everything-except his new flings, like Vanessa, the school's reigning queen bee. She's got her sights on Logan and everyone knows it. Meanwhile, Logan and I share this strange, unspoken chemistry that I can't ignore, even if we act like it's no big deal. But everything changes the night I get roped into a game of spin the bottle at Vanessa's party. When the bottle lands on Logan, he kisses me in front of everyone-and suddenly, it's like I'm seeing Logan in a whole new light, and he's seeing me differently, too. Now he's paying me attention in a way that's unsettling, thrilling, and absolutely forbidden. And just when I think I can ignore it, Logan begins pursuing me-unabashedly, against all the rules he's lived by and despite his so-called girlfriend's wishes. Now, I'm caught in a whirlwind of gossip, jealousy, and emotions I can barely handle. Logan's breaking his own rules for me, and the harder I try to resist him, the more I find myself pulled back. But when we're toeing the line between friendship and something much more dangerous, my heart-and his-are on the line.
