Queen of power, Slave to his touchUpdated at Jan 25, 2026, 08:08
Zara Fortensky chose power over love. In the wreckage of their shattered families, she walked away from the boy who would have burned the world for her, trading their bond for the cold throne her parents left behind.
Aliestar Budgen took that pain and turned it into power. He rebuilt himself but still held on to the ruins of the betrayal that destroyed his family and the girl who never looked back.
Now fate and their enemies drag them together again.
Creed Romano is coming for Zara’s company, convinced the Fortenskys ruined his family. A stolen document, her collapsing empire, and Jessica’s kidnapping force Zara to seek help from the last man she ever wanted to face.
Their reunion ignites everything they buried: the betrayal, the obsession, the hunger that never died… and the truth neither of them is ready to face.
This time, walking away may not be an option.
Some betrayals create monsters.
Some loves survive them
