I raised four abandoned boys as my own sons. I gave them my home, my money, my connections, and eventually enough power to run the four most important divisions of Leeds Group. For seventeen years, I believed they loved my biological daughter, Elena, like a real sister. Then she called me from a school bathroom. “Mom, help me.” By the time I arrived, her uniform had been torn open and bruises covered her body. My four sons had heard her screaming. They had done nothing. They were standing outside protecting Sabrina. According to them, Elena was spoiled. She had too much, while Sabrina had too little. So they decided to teach her how to give things up. First, it was a dress. Then they gave Sabrina the lake house meant for Elena’s eighteenth birthday and cleared out Elena’s private studio for her. Finally, they took the business proposal Elena had spent six months creating, erased her name, and submitted it under Sabrina’s. When Elena demanded it back, my sons called her selfish. “You already have everything.” “Sabrina needs it more.” That was when I understood. The four boys I had rescued no longer saw Elena as their sister. They saw her inheritance as something they had the right to distribute. And soon, they came for mine too. They sat in my boardroom and demanded control of my company, my family trust, and everything I had built. They thought Leeds Group existed because of them. They thought I was only an aging mother they could push aside. They had no idea that seventeen years ago, I had walked away from the Moretti criminal empire to give Elena a normal life. Leeds Group was only one legitimate company inside an empire they had never seen. And the power they were so proud of? I had given it to them. My sons wanted to teach Elena that nothing belonged to her simply because she carried my name. Fine. I was about to teach all four of them the same lesson.

My father died in battle. My mother lost her mind. A household servant rescued me, and I have lived in hiding ever since. No one knows that I later became the Grand Commander of the Vault of Heaven, the only living Dragonslayer on the continent. I have slain dragons, frost giants, and all who stood in the kingdom’s way. Tired of the scheming beneath the throne, I retreated to the borderlands. Yet my enemies would not let me rest. My usurper uncle has married my former betrothed and plans a grand wedding. They think I will return to offer my congratulations. At first, I only sought vengeance for my slaughtered family. But as the Dragon’s Tear awakens, my mentor’s mask falls away, and I climb step by step to the pinnacle of the Vault of Heaven. I come to realize this revenge was guided by an invisible hand from the very start.

Last night I received notice that the Family was cutting me loose. The explanation was flimsy: my thinking was outdated, I refused to modernize, and I was seriously obstructing the Family's expansion. That morning, my fiance stopped me in the corridor, his expression icy. "Kelly was right. Someone as stubborn and inflexible as you only holds the Family back. "And don't blame me for cutting you. You offended someone you shouldn't have." Kelly leaned against the railing, surrounded by her men, and watched me with a smug smile. She was the Don's own niece. Two weeks earlier, she had been parachuted in to take over the Family's core operations, using reform as an excuse to purge every elder. At the Family meeting yesterday, I rejected her reckless expansion plan in front of everyone. Kelly shot me a cold glance from the crowd, contempt sharpening her voice. "Certain old relics who can't move with the times outlived their usefulness long ago. Clinging to power only drags the whole Family down. "If you know what's good for you, get out." My expression remained unreadable. Without a word, I signed the papers withdrawing from the Family. What she didn't know was that I had never needed to stay in this Family. Someone had begged me to stay and hold it together. Then I posted on Instagram. "I have left the Family. I look forward to seeing what comes next." The moment the post went live, the entire underworld erupted.

I married Eleanor Vance on the very same day her true love was getting married next door. Just as we were about to exchange rings, the man himself stormed into our ceremony. Red-eyed and shaking, he announced that the only woman he'd ever loved was Eleanor and that he couldn't go through with marrying the fiancee waiting for him, the one battling a terminal illness. Eleanor didn't even look at me. She pulled her hand from mine and ran after him. I was left standing there, humiliated, while my mother was so angry she ended up in the hospital. Later, the abandoned bride and I caught each other's eyes for a moment. I asked quietly, "Do you want to switch grooms?" Three years passed before Eleanor came back. She was crying, saying she regretted everything. But I scooped up both kids from the backseat, one in each arm. I stepped aside and said, "Excuse me. I'm in a hurry to pick up my wife from work."

Ella Miller and Lydia grew up together in an orphanage. They weren't sisters by blood, but they were closer than family. Years later, Ella became the powerful CEO of the Miller Group, while Lydia married into the wealthy Newman family. When Ella left the country to expand her empire, she trusted Lydia's advice and hired Ariel—the orphan she had supported for years—to take care of her pregnant best friend. But Ariel had been hiding a terrifying secret. Using an ancient magic mirror passed down through her family, Ariel cast a forbidden identity-switching curse in the delivery room. Overnight, Ella and Lydia's identities were completely reversed in everyone's eyes. Ariel destroyed Lydia's child, then joined forces with the Newman brothers to twist the truth. At Lydia's funeral, they forced Ella to sign away everything she owned. Her marriage. Her reputation. Her entire empire. They thought the Miller Group would soon belong to them. But they made one mistake. They forgot that Ella was never just a CEO. She was a woman who built an empire from nothing. When her loyal assistant arrived with the truth, Ella returned as the queen they had underestimated. She exposed every crime. Destroyed every enemy. And sent all evidence to the police. But her final move shocked everyone. Before walking away, Ella transferred all her shares to Lydia. Because revenge was never about money. It was about protecting the only family she had left.
