She was the girl he threw away. Now she’s the rival who could destroy everything he built. When billionaire Alexander Vance ended their secret relationship with a cold, public dismissal, he thought he’d erased her from his life forever. To him, she was just a soft-hearted intern who never belonged in his cutthroat world. He was wrong. Years later, Elena returns as the ruthless CEO of a rising empire—and she’s coming for the one thing Alexander values most: his throne. Every deal she steals, every boardroom she conquers, is a calculated strike aimed straight at the man who once made her feel worthless. But the closer she gets to his downfall, the harder it becomes to ignore the way he still looks at her… and the dangerous truth that some regrets burn hotter than revenge. He discarded her. She became his equal. Now the only question left is who will break first—his empire, or the last piece of his heart.
