Shadows of the Glass Slipper

“Oh my god! The prince sent an invitation for the upcoming royal ball!” Eleanor exclaimed, her voice trembling with excitement as she waved the golden-sealed letter in her hand. “The royal ball!?” Anna and Cindy squealed, nearly toppling over their chair in delight. “Shh! We don’t want Ella to hear about this,” Eleanor hissed, glancing nervously over her shoulder. And there she was, Ella, standing by the doorway with her eyes gleaming, ready to pounce on anyone in sight. “Did someone say balls?” Ella grinned widely, her smile wide enough to make her mother and sister flinch. “No, no—it’s a royal ball, a ball. It’s where people… dance,” Eleanor stammered, her voice faltering. “Well, then,” Ella said, her grin stretching further, “there’s going to be a lot of balls there.” And with that, Ella darted to her room, already rummaging through her drawers. Ella wasn’t just dreaming of going to the royal ball— she dreams of every ball. In a kingdom obsessed with beauty and perfection, Ella, long ridiculed as the “ugly half-sister,” has spent her life in the shadows of her graceful and adored sisters. However, Ella never allowed mockery to pierce her strange, unbothered world. She focused on the hobby that kept growing—collecting balls and other round-shaped items. When the royal family announced the grand ball to find a bride for their prince, Eleanor’s heart sank. She feared Ella’s oddities might bring embarrassment to their family. Desperate to uphold their name, Eleanor resolved to turn her awkward daughter into a refined young lady, no matter how severe the training. “Posture, Ella! You’re not a hunchbacked scarecrow!” “Smile softly, not like you’re about to eat someone!” But despite Eleanor’s strict lessons, Ella’s wild grin never faded. It only sharpened. When the night of the royal ball finally arrived, the palace glimmered under crystal chandeliers. The prince stood poised, the very image of perfection, until the grand doors opened. Ella entered, her gown shimmering with hundreds of tiny glass spheres sewn into the fabric, catching every flicker of light. The room fell silent as a faint, musical clinking echoed with each step she took. The prince turned, his flawless gaze locking with hers. Ella smiled, leaning close enough for only him to hear. “I’ve always loved balls,” she whispered. The prince’s lips parted slightly, his polished smile faltering as if he wasn’t quite sure what he was looking at. Ella tilted her head, her grin fierce and unrestrained. Then, the grand doors opened again. Gasps rippled through the crowd like a wave breaking on marble. With that, a mysterious woman in a simpler dress entered.

The CEO’s penniless wife is a lost Trillionaire heiress

"I spent three years being the perfect, submissive wife. Now, I’m going to spend the rest of my life being your worst nightmare." For three years, Vivienne was the "Beggar of the West Mansion." She endured her mother-in-law’s slaps, the family’s mockery, and Roman’s silent cruelty—a cowardice born from weakness, not power. To the world, she was a “penniless leech” living off his charity. To Roman, she was a girl from the slums who should be grateful for his name. When Roman finally hands her a divorce decree to clear the way for his merger with a Sinclair heiress, she thinks she’s finally free. But the West family doesn't just want her gone—they want her silenced. To protect their secrets, they do the unthinkable: they declare her dead and lock her away in a high-security psychiatric ward. They thought they buried a nobody. They couldn't have been more wrong. Two years later, Vivienne returns—not as the broken girl they discarded, but as the true Chairwoman of the Sinclair Empire. She doesn't come back to beg; she comes back to destroy. Beside her, standing possessively at her back, is Lucien Hamilton, the most dangerous and powerful man on the planet. The hunt is on. The masks are off. And the West family is about to find out that the “penniless” girl they mocked... actually owns them all. When the CEO finally realizes who she really is… will he regret losing her, or regret crossing her? ~~~ “Vivienne? But… you’re dead. We had a funeral!” Roman stammered, his face drained of color as he looked at the woman draped in trillion-dollar diamonds. “You buried a girl who didn’t know her own power, Roman,” Vivienne said, her voice like shards of ice. “Check the markets. I’ve already lit the fire that will burn your empire to ash.” Roman fell to his knees, reaching for the hem of her gown. “Vivienne, please! I was blinded... I’ll make it right. I still love you!” Lucien Hamilton stepped forward, his hand on Vivienne’s waist as he stared down at Roman. “Touch her again, West, and I won’t just ruin you. I’ll make sure you lose your life along with everything you own.”

His body pressed on mine, caging me in as his strong hands tightly gripped mine. “You belong to me and no one will ever take you away. I own you.” I chuckled dryly. The sound of my bitter  laughter echoed through the empty room. It was raw, brittle and filled with hate. “You pushed me away, Alpha Ryan. You rejected and abused me. You made me a laughing stock and accused my father wrongly and now, you want me back?” “It was a mistake.” He cut me off, eyes dancing in what seems to be remorse but I am unmoved. “Come back to me Alora. I promise that I will treat you right this time. I promise to do right by you.” I pulled my hands away from his grip, a smirk playing on my lips, “You lost the chance to claim me three years ago, Alpha Ryan.
