Chapter 4: The Weight of Loyalty

🔒 This chapter is locked · 20 Quills

Rising From the Ashes On Christmas Eve, Helena Figueiredo lost it all. Her parents died. Her siblings died. And everyone believed she had been buried after that accident too. But the grave held no one. Fourteen years on, Helena comes back under a new identity. Now she is Liana Vance, the young businesswoman who built an empire strong enough to threaten the nation's largest companies. Beautiful, brilliant, and calculating, she conceals the scars of a tragedy she has never escaped behind a flawless facade. Her sole aim is to find who destroyed her family and take back everything stolen from her. To achieve it, she will do the unimaginable: marry into her enemies' family through a contract marriage. Henrique Mendes thinks Liana is just an ambitious rival set on ruining his family. What he doesn't realize is that the woman now carrying his surname is the same girl he once called his sister... whose death he has grieved for fourteen years. As buried secrets surface, alliances crumble, masks slip, and the truth shows that the real enemy has always lurked in the shadows. Because some people survive. Others are reborn. And some transform their own pain into the perfect weapon for revenge.
