This is the fabled "Cruel Prince Ashley Jade VK Exclusive." It’s not published on Amazon. It’s not on her website. It exists only as a Russian fan-translated PDF, riddled with typos and raw, unfiltered emotion. In this exclusive, the prince doesn’t just insult the heroine. He kneels. He doesn’t just wage war. He loses. And the one scene every reader whispers about? A monologue delivered in a rain-soaked alley where he admits, "I was never cruel to hurt you. I was cruel because I was already broken, and misery adores a mirror."
