"Wait," she breathed. "We have to stop. This isn’t just conversation.""It's better than talking," he murmured, kissing her neck."No, we need to have a conversation," she insisted. "Get off me, let me get dressed.""You can't make love while dressed," he replied, playfully biting her earlobe."Listen to me," she urged. "I'm trying to be serious, alright? I realize I shouldn’t have fled.""What’s this about?" he asked, his tone growing cold."I simply want to resolve things," she said earnestly, gazing into his eyes.A flicker of disgust crossed his features, and his lips turned downward, "I see what's going on. You think I'll forget your betrayal if you let me fuck you."She fled from her wedding, which led to her own downfall and became a lasting nightmare. She chose to elope with another man instead of the one who truly loved her. That man deceived her, coaxing her into abandoning her husband, ultimately driving her to her demise.She returned to consciousness and found herself lying on their matrimonial bed.A firm yet gentle grip enclosed her wrist, leading her hand to the front of his pants. She observed her small, pale hand beside his large, tanned fingers, allowing him to press her palm against him.It would be so simple to let him take control, to surrender to him. She craved it. She yearned to feel his strong hands exploring every part of her body.

"I'm so over Cassandra." Aidan Ziegler sneers, swirling his wine glass with a lazy smirk. "A real woman is soft and sweet—like Clara. As for her..."
In the corner, a glass suddenly shatters in a man's palm.
Cassandra Callum stands frozen, holding the cake she made to celebrate their three-year anniversary, eyes locked on the blood trickling down from his sharply defined fingers.
Tristan Freeman, head of Freeman Group, slowly wipes his hand clean. His dark gaze sweeps over her tear-reddened eyes. "Ms. Callum, would you like to marry me?"
The city explodes with gossip.
Everyone thinks a broke little designer has climbed her way into wealth and power—
what no one knows is that this marriage is a trap Tristan set five years ago.
His private gallery holds over a thousand sketches of her profile—from that day in sophomore year when she crouched in a rainy alley feeding a stray cat,
to her backstage at a runway abroad, gently arranging jewelry.
Late at night, he stares at security footage, cigarette in hand, as Aidan kneels in a storm, soaked and shaking. Tristan suddenly pulls his delicate wife into his arms.
Later, a finance reporter captures the once cold and ruthless Tristan,
down on one knee before Cassandra. His hands tremble as he holds a pregnancy test.
Cassandra flashes her wedding ring and laughs softly. "Surprised, Mr. Freeman?"
Tristan, once known for being sharp and vicious, blinks back tears,
then presses a trembling kiss to the faded mark on her ring finger.
"Cassie, when you were 22, I wanted to say..."
"Say what?"
He leans in, his voice hoarse as he whispers, "The cake was really sweet." 

"Ms. Shaw, your resignation has already been signed off by Mr. Frey, but it seems like he doesn't know it was from you. Do you want me to let him know?"Lexi Shaw looks down and stares at the resignation letter in her hand. She shakes her head. "It's fine."The HR personnel sighs and tries to talk her out of it. "Ms. Shaw, Mr. Frey still cares about you. A lot of people here think you two will end up together. Maybe you should think this over."Hearing that, Lexi lets out a bitter laugh. What the others don't know is that she and Jeremy Frey are already married—just secretly.Three months ago, she was in a car accident and fractured her spine. She lay in a hospital bed, waiting for Jeremy to come and sign her surgery consent form. She called him countless times.When he finally picked up, he said, "It's just a car accident. Wait a little longer. I need to finish celebrating Tricia's birthday first."Tricia Lowe is her best friend, and it was at that moment that Lexi realized Jeremy had been cheating.While she was barely hanging on in the hospital, she ended up signing her own surgery consent form. Right before the operation, Jeremy finally showed up, holding Tricia in his arms—all because Tricia had nicked her finger with a knife.Jeremy immediately pulled away Lexi's attending doctor, which caused her to lose too much blood and land in the ICU for a week.That moment was her wake-up call. A man like that belongs in the trash. Now that she's mostly recovered, it's time to move on.Snapping out of her thoughts, she replies calmly, "People change. I stood by him through the toughest three years of his life. That's enough."Jeremy has only ever loved her best friend, Tricia. 
After I become pregnant, my adopted sister and husband frame me, and I end up being butchered alive with my belly sliced open and my body torn apart.After I die, my soul gets trapped beside them. When I was alive, no one loved me. Even in death, I'm just a lonely ghost drifting through the world.But there's one person who throws everything away to avenge me. I even see him crying for me.Given a second chance at life, I'd go straight to him. To my surprise, those people who never cared about me are suddenly full of remorse. They say they love me.Deep in the night, Gabriel Dutton buries his head in the curve of my neck, his warm breath tickling my skin, full of possessiveness and desire."Joanne, say you love me. And say you'll never vanish on me again."I repeat his words. "I don't want them anymore. I only want you."I only want him, the one who loves me passionately when everyone else refuses to. 

At 16 years old, I witness my mother be driven to suicide by my father's mistress. With nowhere else to go, the Lambert family takes me in.I then tell a teenage Jasper Lambert about how horrible my father's mistress and his illegitimate daughter, Isabella Stone, are. Jasper's eyes are bloodshot as he raises his fist, looking angrier than I myself felt. "You can rest assured that when I see that mother-daughter duo, I'll make them pay, Madison!"However, when Jasper eventually meets Isabella, he sleeps with her and loses himself to her in a passionate embrace. He completely forgets the anger he had felt on my behalf back in his teenage years. He calmly fixes his disheveled clothes and stares at my bloodshot eyes. "Your sister looks a lot like you, but she's way more of a flirt. You could stand to learn from her."It is then that I realize that, without me noticing, the teenager who had always been by my side has become corrupt.It is only during my wedding to his uncle, Christian Lambert, that a teary-eyed Jasper pulls me aside and demands, "You're my fiancée, Madison! You belong to me! Why are you marrying someone else?" 

"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage.We had been married for exactly three years—three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment.For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage.Today, I finally received his message:"I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport."When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me. But his cruelty was far worse than I could have ever imagined—he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and that woman was Carla, my closest and most trusted friend.In that moment, all of my previous excitement, all my hope, and all of our shared laughter and tears turned into the sharpest of daggers, stabbing into my heart and leaving me gasping for air.Now, all I want is to escape from this place that has left me so broken—to lick my wounds in solitude. Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again.He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end—almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be."Aurora, come back. I regret everything!"Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me—only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!
