My Ex-lover Begged for My Love after He Abandoned me

Scarlett never planned to marry a corpse. But when her half-sister Alina dumped her comatose fiancé—the heir to the powerful Colombo empire—Scarlett saw an opportunity. Not for love. For payback. Alina stole everything. Their father’s affection. The spotlight. And worst of all—Creed, the only man Scarlett ever loved… who chose Alina in the end. “I loved you,” Scarlett whispered the night Creed let her bleed in that underground bloodsport arena… and ran straight to her sister instead. That betrayal was the final nail. So Scarlett put on Alina’s discarded ring, flew to London, and married Zacharias Colombo—the so-called “corpse prince.” She kissed him at the altar. Cold lips. Silent man. Until he moved. Until his hand gripped hers. Until his eyes opened. Now Alina wants him back. The fiancé she left behind. The empire she threw away. And Creed? He’s on his knees. “Come back to me,” Creed pleads. “I made a mistake.” But Scarlett’s smile is made of glass and venom. “I’m not yours anymore.”
