Chapter 1: The Betrayal
The champagne in my hand shattered as I watched my husband kiss my own sister in our bedroom.
"How long?" My voice was dead calm, but my heart was bleeding.
Mark didn't even look guilty. He smirked. "Evelyn, don't be dramatic. You should have seen this coming. You're always at work. Lisa understands me."
My sister Lisa stood behind him, wearing MY diamond necklace. The necklace my late mother left me. "Sis, it's not personal. It's business. Dad said if you can't give Mark a child, the company should go to someone who can. Me."
My father. My own father.
I laughed. The sound scared even me. For ten years I built the Kwon Group from nothing, while they all lived off my money. My father, my husband, my sister - my whole cheating family.
"You want the company?" I wiped the champagne from my hand. "Take it."
Mark's eyes lit up. "Finally you're being sensible. Sign the divorce papers and-"
"I said take it. Tonight. All of it." I walked to the safe and pulled out the files they wanted so badly. "But remember this night, Mark. Remember this betrayal. Because I, Evelyn Kwon, swear on my mother's grave - I will come back and make you all kneel."
Lisa rolled her eyes. "So dramatic."
I left the mansion in the rain, with nothing but my mother's ring and a broken heart. They thought they had won. They thought Evelyn Kwon was finished.
They had no idea.
Three hours later, my car skidded on the wet highway. A truck's headlights blinded me. The crash was deafening.
As darkness swallowed me, I heard a voice whisper: "Do you want revenge?"
"Yes," I whispered back with my last breath. "I want them to pay."
And then I opened my eyes. I was back in my office. The calendar on the wall said three years ago. The day before I married Mark.
I was reborn. And this time, the queen will strike back.
