No Longer A Double: The Queen's Return

Chloe Foster gave up her dazzling supermodel career to marry the man she loved.

On the eve of their wedding, she excitedly brought a rare vintage watch to their penthouse to surprise her fiancé, Evan.

But when she pushed the door open, she didn't hear his happy laughter.

Instead, she heard familiar, muffled giggles coming from the master bedroom.

Through the cracked door, she saw Evan tangled in the sheets with her best friend, Mika.

The velvet box slipped from her numb fingers, the antique watch shattering on the hardwood floor.

Evan scrambled to cover himself, stammering pathetic excuses about it being a drunken mistake.

But Mika didn't even flinch. She lazily stroked her flat stomach and smirked.

"Don't blame him, Chloe. After all, I'm carrying his child."

A wave of suffocating nausea churned in Chloe's stomach.

The man she loved and the best friend she trusted had turned her sacrifices into a cruel, humiliating joke, plotting to discard her the moment they got what they wanted.

But she didn't scream, and she didn't cry.

A terrifying, absolute calm washed over her.

She turned her back on the pathetic pair, walked out into the freezing rain, and headed straight to City Hall to cancel her marriage license.

There, she saw a cold, intimidating stranger—Damien Knight, the undisputed king of the entertainment world—waiting for a bride who had just stood him up.

With a shattered heart and a spine of steel, Chloe walked right up to the billionaire.

"Your bride didn't show. My groom ran off. So, what do you say? Marry me instead?"
