***************************************************************************************************
Ophelia Blackwood lived her life doing everything she could to be loved.
First by her parents and three elder siblings, then by her best friend, and finally by her lover.
She sacrificed everything just to be valued by Vincent Dimitri, the son of one of the most dangerous mafia families in Russia, and her childhood best friend, Elosia Jonas. They were her chosen family.
Yet her loyalty was repaid with betrayal. After destroying Vincent’s greatest enemy and crowning him the King of the Underworld, Ophelia was killed—by Vincent himself.
Elosia hung from Vincent’s half-naked body with a smirk as Ophelia lay in a pool of her own blood.
“Thank you for giving me and Vincent such an amazing wedding gift, best friend.”
Only in her final breath did Ophelia realize the cruel truth—this was the world of a novel, and she was dying the death of the villainess who killed the male and female leads for love.
Ophelia laughed bitterly at her fate. In pain. In misery. Realizing that being unloved and betrayed was always destined for her.
But when she woke up again—twenty years old, five years before the story began—she made a different choice.
This time, she wouldn’t fight for love.
She would fight for revenge.
Ophelia proposed a contract marriage to the man she once ruined with her own hands—her former enemy, the heir to the most powerful family on the continent, Kayros Natheniel.
“I have two conditions,” Kayros said calmly.
“I’ll accept whatever,” Ophelia replied coldly.
“First—you don’t meddle in my business.
Second—I decide when this marriage ends. of course not before three years even if you beg me to.”
But fate had another plan.
Her 3rd life ended with her dying and becoming the reason behind the death of Kayros.
Yet when she wakes up again, she only remembers herself as Odette Elizabeth, the lawyer who once shook the supreme court.
However, Kayros remembers the life she didn't.
Making them stand at the fork road of life and fate where they have to navigate the world of mafias, threats from military, betrayal from closest and an unconventional pull between them.
" You don't love me." She whispers.
" no... but I just can't fuxking stop wanting you like a fool." He mummers against her lips.
