In her past life, he ruined her. In this one, he won’t let her go.In her past life, Princess Katerina was promised to Prince Maximilian, the man she loved… until he betrayed her and destroyed her name beyond repair.When duty demanded it, she married King Dorian to save her people. It was a marriage born of sacrifice, not desire.But Maximilian never let her go.Even after ascending the throne of a rival kingdom, he pursued her relentlessly... not as a lover, but as a hunter. An enemy king. A shadow that followed her across borders and battlefields. A war she could never escape.Because of him, she lost everything.Her name.Her achievements.And the most unforgivable loss of all... her children.She died without ever understanding why he destroyed her… or why he never stopped.Reincarnated into the modern world as Catherine Preston, she wants only one thing: a quiet life.She has wealth, a powerful family that adores her, and a brilliant mind meant for research, not war. This time, she believes merit will protect her. This time, she believes the world is fairer.She is wrong.Traitors circle her once more—stealing her work, erasing her name, cornering her with smiles and contracts.And just as she stands on the edge of ruin…he appears again.Not as her enemy.Not as a king.But as her savior.“Marry me,” Maximilian Whitmore says calmly. “I’ll give you everything you dream of.”Catherine refuses. She will not trust the man who destroyed her once already.But fate has other plans.A curse.A bond.A shackle she cannot break.The only way to ease the curse… is intimacy with the man she despised.Bound once more to the enemy king of her past life, Catherine must face a terrifying question:Does Maximilian truly not remember what he did… or is he hiding the truth behind those unreadable eyes?And when King Dorian returns in this life, offering her peace and safety…Two men.Two pasts.One woman who remembers everything.In a world where names mean power and love is a battlefield, was Maximilian her greatest enemy…or the truth she was never meant to uncover?A reincarnation romance of obsession, betrayal, fate-bound love, and painful second chances.#A heart-throbbing reincarnation romance filled with obsession, power, betrayal, and fate-bound love.#Enemies to lovers. Soul shackles. Overbearing kings. Painful second chances.#Slowburn romance.Update will be once a day and there will be bonus chapters if we reach milestones.Hope you'll join me in this journey.

[Ding! You have stopped the Cromothean Invasion! You have unlocked the Adamantine Battle Armor (Level 3)][Ding! You have solved the Cosmic Formula! The cosmic entities have grown wary of your existence.]Years ago, way before I was even born, humanity was reminded that we weren't alone in the universe, and our world was invaded by a race of alien conquerors that called themselves the Ravemites.It was ghastly. And humanity was soon on the brink of extinction until, we were saved by an Intergalactic Organization that called themselves Starcore Nebula.Years later, in the middle of this chaotic relationship between mankind and alien, I, Eric Kaiser — a regular 18 year old kid who had always looked up to these heroes of earth, aspired to be just like them even without awakening any talent, lost my parents in the apocalypse.Since then, I lost any aspirations I had, any admiration I harbored towards these intergalactic agents. Till one day, I came across a strange system that changed my life forever, then I awakened a talent too.That Talent's Name was D.E.L.T.A.And because of it, I was linked to the greatest technological system in the universe, create state of the art weaponry out of thin air? Easy. Hack into the universe's most elite security system? Piece of cake. Being wanted by cosmic beauties across the galaxy? Child's play.But I didn't go unnoticed, soon enough rival galactic organizations and even alien warlords from all over the universe wanted me gone at any cost, so if they wanted to wage a war against me, bring it on.I have no desire to become a intergalactic hero, but with this system, I am justice.So the battle to save earth from these so-called conquerors? it wasn't just the planet's fight anymore, it was mine. They made sure of that the day they let my parents died.
