Who Needs A Man?
Bella found herself time-traveling and waking up in a compromising situation. She immediately turned and fled, discovering that in this world, her father was a famous scholar, her brother was at the top of his class, and even her son was destined for greatness. With such accomplished family members, she felt proud. Determined to make her mark, Bella focused on her career, dedicating herself to saving lives and culinary innovation. She ensured her child excelled academically while building her wealth.My fingers were still tangled in silken sheets, the scent of sandalwood and sin clinging to my skin.

Back in my chambers, I stared at my reflection. Same face, same scars—but everything else changed. If this world gave me a second chance, I wouldn’t waste it. Not this time.
