The Heiress of Shadows and Twisted Love

Ava Virell was six when she was kidnapped and erased from the life she never knew. Stripped of her identity as the beloved daughter of a powerful, wealthy family, she was thrown into the arms of a cruel adopted household—one that tormented her for years, all because of an old family feud. Her adoptive siblings hated her. Her so-called parents broke her. By the time she turned twenty-two, Ava had forgotten what love felt like. She didn’t trust anyone. She didn’t smile. She didn’t dream. Until she met Rayan, her arrogant rival in the corporate world—rich, sharp-tongued, and infuriatingly kind beneath the surface. Ava hated him on sight, but Rayan recognized her pain. He had lived through the same orphanage, the same kind of betrayal. What she didn’t know was… Rayan had loved her once. And he still did. Just as Ava started to fight for her future, her world shattered again. Betrayed by the people she thought she could trust—her boyfriend, her best friend, even her adopted family—Ava was sold to the underworld. And they killed her. But death wasn’t her end. Given a second chance by a force beyond reason, Ava wakes up seven years in the past… with every memory of what they did to her. Now she’s no longer the broken girl they hurt. Now she’s coming back—for revenge. To expose the traitors. To reclaim her real family. To protect her true brothers. And maybe—just maybe—to open her heart to the one man who always tried to save her.
