She gave him everything — her time, her mind, her silence, and five years of her life she will never get back. While the world saw Seraphina Sterling as nothing more than the quiet, unremarkable girlfriend of rising business star Lysander Thorne, nobody knew the truth. She was the architect. The strategist. The hidden hand behind every deal he closed, every contract he signed, and every empire he claimed as his own. She hid her real name. She hid her family's billions. She hid her crown — all because she loved him. Until the day he stood in another woman's arms, looked Seraphina dead in the eyes and said, "Don't you think I'm completely out of your league now?" That was the moment Seraphina Sterling stopped hiding. She returned home. Reclaimed her name. And agreed — for the first time in her life — to do exactly what her powerful father asked: marry a man she had never met. A cold, dangerously handsome billionaire named Caspian Montrose, who has his own secrets, his own scars, and absolutely no interest in a wife. But Lysander has not forgotten her. And when he discovers the woman he threw away was never the nobody he thought — he wants her back. Too late. Because Seraphina is no longer the woman who builds empires for ungrateful men. This time, she is the empire. And Caspian Montrose is beginning to realize — dangerously, irreversibly — that the woman he married for convenience might be the only one who could ever truly ruin him. Darling, I was the empire. You just never deserved a seat at the throne.
