Five Years in Prison for Him,Now I'm His Enemy's Queen — Novel

About

Margot Delgado emerges from five grueling years in prison, a pawn sacrificed for the man she once loved. Only to find her sacrifice twisted into betrayal as Dennis Henson, now entwined with a rival's daughter, presents her with a bitter ultimatum: relinquish her claim to power or watch everything she fought for be destroyed. But Margot is no longer the woman who took the fall for him; she's ready to reclaim her life, even if it means forging an uneasy alliance with the enigmatic Christian Finley, the crown prince of the Inner Circle.

As Margot steps into the gilded cage of her new reality, each encounter with Christian ignites a dangerous chemistry. His cold gaze and cruel words challenge her resolve, while his unexpected tenderness leaves her questioning everything she thought she knew about power and loyalty. Can Margot navigate the treacherous waters of syndicate politics, or will she drown in the very system that once imprisoned her?

With stakes higher than ever and enemies lurking in the shadows, Margot must decide: will she become a queen in her own right, or will the past pull her under once more? In this brutal game of love and revenge, the lines between ally and adversary blur, and every choice could lead to salvation or destruction.

Five Years in Prison for Him,Now I'm His Enemy's QueenChapter 1

I took the fall for Dennis Henson's money-laundering operation. Five years in a women's prison, where they beat me so badly I nearly lost my uterus.

Before I went in, he kissed the shell of my ear and whispered that when I got out, the entire East District would be my wedding gift.

The day I walked free, his motorcade was waiting. And there he stood, in the middle of it all, draping his suit jacket over the shoulders of a rival syndicate's simpering little bastard daughter.

"She's carrying my child. In this line of work, she won't survive without a clean name. You've already got a record, so just hand over the queen's seat to her."

Every man in the Syndicate swallowed hard, certain I was about to pull a trench knife and sever his tendons at the ankle.

Instead, I brushed the dust off my prison uniform and let one word fall, cold as a blade: "Fine."

I turned around and slipped on the wedding ring offered by the Inner Circle's bloodthirsty crown prince himself.
