I woke up alone in a cold hospital room after a near-fatal car crash. My husband of three years, Bryant, claimed he was too busy with back-to-back meetings to visit me. But when I dragged my bruised body into the hallway, I caught him pinning his pregnant mistress against a vending machine. "As soon as my company IPOs next month, I'm dumping my useless wife." "She's so pathetic. She'd be living on the streets if it wasn't for my charity." For three years, Bryant and his mother had humiliated me for being an orphan, treating me like a penniless burden while he secretly bought a multi-million-dollar townhouse for his new family. A cold knot formed in my stomach. I had almost died in that wreckage, yet my husband was disgusted by my very existence, eagerly waiting to throw me away. But Bryant didn't know about the damp, sealed envelope the paramedics had recovered from my wrecked car. The DNA report inside proved I wasn't a nobody from the gutter. I was the biological daughter of the Beaumonts—New York's wealthiest, most ruthless billionaire dynasty. I didn't scream or confront them. Instead, I calmly pulled out my phone, recorded their affair in high definition, and dialed a Wall Street financier I hadn't spoken to in years. "I'm done playing the happy housewife. Pull his algorithmic backdoors and drain the accounts."

My daughter Cecilia was fighting for every breath in our moldy apartment. I was a paralegal working myself to the bone, while my husband, a "struggling artist," couldn't sell a single painting. Then, I found his name on the deed to a multi-million dollar penthouse. It was a gift for his celebrity mistress, Fiona. He called our daughter's life-threatening asthma an "inconvenience." But I only snapped when Fiona stole Cecilia's inhaler at a school event, leaving her to suffocate while she smiled for the cameras. When Justin finally showed up, he ran right past our daughter to comfort his mistress. "What have you done?" he hissed at me. He thought I was just his ordinary, unambitious wife. He was about to learn that I was the one who would tear his entire empire of lies to the ground.

I stepped into our penthouse for my baby shower, caressing my eight-month bump, expecting balloons and laughter. But instead of joy, I found my husband, Michael, cradling a newborn that wasn't ours. Beside him sat his assistant, Serena, looking far too comfortable. Michael looked me dead in the eye, his expression cold and flat, and introduced the infant as his firstborn son. They didn't apologize. Instead, Serena mocked my high-risk pregnancy, calling me a mere "incubator" for the spare heir. When I demanded they leave, Serena shoved me. I hit the floor hard, screaming in agony as pain ripped through my belly. But Michael didn't help me. He stepped over my convulsing body to comfort her, accusing me of being dramatic. He walked out with his new family, leaving me bleeding alone on the nursery floor. Lying in the hospital later, I overheard Michael on the phone. He wasn't worried. He laughed, revealing his plan to use my family's connections for his IPO before divorcing me and taking full custody of my child. He didn't love me. He only wanted the heir. That was the moment the old Olivia died. I knew I had to deny him the only thing he truly wanted. I wiped my tears, touched my stomach where my son was still kicking, and made a decision that would sever us forever. I told my lawyer to deliver a simple message to Michael. "Tell him the baby didn't make it."

Chapter 1 “I won’t leave Michael for money! What we have is real!” Half-reclined on the master bed, the girl’s clothes were disheveled, her lips swollen. With a face strikingly similar to Michael’s unreachable ideal, Mariah, she glared defiantly at Cynthia, chin lifted. “You’re the ninety-ninth woman to tell me that.” Cynthia’s expression stayed placid as she motioned for a bodyguard to lay a stack of cash and two copies of a non-disclosure agreement in front of the girl. “Sign these, and the money is yours to take when you go.” “Cynthia, everyone knows you’re just Michael’s dog. Do you really think you’re his wife? Michael told me he’s never even kissed you all this time—you disgust him!” Cynthia showed no reaction to the girl’s venomous words—because they were true. In Harbor City’s elite circles, everyone knew the open secret: Cynthia was Michael’s wife in name only. In reality, she was his dog. And she had brought it all on herself. After all, she’d used every dirty trick in the book to marry him. At Michael’s engagement party to his beloved Mariah, Cynthia had drugged him. In his disoriented state, she slipped into his bed. When the scandal broke, she leaked it to the press, guaranteeing front-page coverage. In the end, with the help of a conveniently timed pregnancy of dubious origin and the benevolence of Michael’s father, Jeremy, she displaced Mariah. She forced Michael to marry her, driving the heartbroken Mariah to vanish without a trace for years. For Michael, a man notorious for his ruthlessness, it was the first time he had ever been trapped and humiliated. His hatred for Cynthia was absolute. The wedding had barely ended when Michael shoved the still-bridal-gowned Cynthia down a flight of stairs, publicly calling it a “tragic miscarriage.” “You’re only fit to be my dog.” He meant it. For the next five years, Cynthia was his to summon and dismiss at will—his beast of burden, his servant, his toy for venting lust and rage. The truth, however, was that Cynthia had been forced into every action by Christina, Mariah’s mother. The year Cynthia graduated, her grandmother, Patricia, fell critically ill and needed a liver transplant. Destitute and desperate, Cynthia was approached at the hospital by Christina, who oversaw the facility. “Mariah is still young, not ready to settle down. But the alliance between Michael’s family and ours cannot be broken by us. Cynthia, be a good girl. Do exactly as I say, and you can save your grandmother.” To save Patricia’s life, Cynthia sold her soul and her dignity. Mariah’s family, meanwhile, reaped a windfall from Michael’s guilt over the years. The girl sneered now, slapping the documents against Cynthia’s face before trying to sweep past her. A bodyguard blocked the exit. “Cynthia, just you wait!” Forced to press her thumbprint onto the agreement, Hannah spat the words through gritted teeth before finally being allowed to leave. Cynthia dismissed the threat as nothing. That evening, however, Michael had the grandmother she depended on seized. By the time Cynthia arrived, Patricia—shivering in nothing but a thin dress—was trapped inside a massive glass enclosure crawling with venomous snakes. Curled into a corner, the elderly woman was deathly pale, her body wracked with tremors. Paralyzed by cold and terror, she couldn’t even cry out. Hannah, meanwhile, was curled against Michael, her sniffles and tears a convincing performance. The moment she saw Cynthia, Hannah shrieked in apparent terror. “Cynthia—oh god—I’m so sorry! It won’t happen again, I promise!” Cynthia’s heart leapt into her throat, confusion swirling. Before she could speak, a bodyguard’s brutal kick to the back of her knee sent her crashing to the floor at their feet. “Why did you humiliate Hannah with money, then have her kidnapped and threatened? Cynthia, have you truly grown tired of living?” “I didn’t kidnap—” Cynthia’s denial was cut short by a vicious backhand from a guard. She sprawled at Michael’s feet, her forehead cracking against the floor, blood welling instantly. Cynthia knew then that explanations were useless. The only thing that mattered was getting Patricia out. She scrambled up, not even bothering to wipe the blood trickling into her eye, and pleaded desperately with Michael. “Michael, please, whatever it is, let my grandmother go! She’s old, she’s frail, she can’t take this… Punish me instead! Lock me in there, I’m begging you!” “Oh, you will be punished. A dog that bites its master deserves to be taught a proper lesson, don’t you agree?” Michael’s voice was a whip-crack of cruelty, yet he used the tip of his polished black shoe to lift her chin with an almost caressing delicacy. A trickle of blood from her forehead mixed with her tears and dripped onto the leather.

I swallowed my pride and gave my marriage one last chance.My husband brought his mistress home.And told me we were having an open marriage. "It's only fair," he said, like he was doing me a favor.

The catch?He is Daxton.Kian's uncle. Now, Daxton refuses to let me go.And Kian?He isn't willing to lose me either. Two men.One heart.Who will I choose?

Running for my life from my family's suffocating control, I was cornered by my father's security team in an empty private airport terminal. Desperate, I crashed into a tall stranger to use him as a human shield, only to realize I had just assaulted Hoyt David. He was an untouchable Wall Street billionaire and, worse, my best friend's uncle. Instead of handing me over to the guards, he seamlessly lied to my pursuers. "This young woman is my guest," he told them, his voice an absolute wall of authority. He pulled me into a dark, narrow maintenance closet to hide. I was terrified he would turn me in, but he didn't. He was the perfect gentleman, gently calming my panic, respecting my boundaries, and offering his private Bentley to take me to a safe hotel. I was overwhelmed with gratitude. My parents had always treated me like a puppet, but this powerful man made me feel seen and protected. I couldn't understand why a man of his status would go to such lengths for me, but I was too desperate to question my luck. I thought I had finally escaped my family's hell. I had no idea that the "safety" he offered was a trap, and that this untouchable billionaire had been obsessively waiting for seven years for me to walk willingly into his gilded cage.

Ravyn Hawkins tried her best to fit in, hoping that one day her family would love her, just as they love Aspen but that dream never got fulfilled.

The champagne in my glass had gone warm, but the chill radiating from my husband was absolute. We stood twenty stories above Seattle, the city lights blurring through the rain-streaked floor-to-ceiling windows of the gala, yet Caleb wasn’t looking at the view. He wasn’t looking at me, either. His thumb hovered over his phone screen, the blue light casting a ghostly pallor on his jaw. He was typing. Again. "Caleb," I said, keeping my voice low, a practiced calm I’d perfected over five years of marriage. " The Board Chairman is looking this way. You might want to pretend you’re here with your wife." He didn't flinch. He didn’t even look up.

I thought I had the most loyal husband until I caught Caleb cheating with my step sister. My heart twisted in pain as I recalled how far our two year old marriage had come, the promises, the moments, everything went down the drain in a couple of minutes. Caleb was my only family. My father died shortly after his marriage to my stepmother and she hated me to no end. She would never take me back into the house, considering I eloped to be with my lover. My late father's debts were piling up and my divorce with Caleb ended my job as a waitress with him as well. So there was no way to pay up. Feeling betrayed, devastated and helpless, I thought to end it all on the cliff but I got saved by a stranger. The stranger turned out to be Alexander Hall. After saving me, he offered me a contract marriage to help me with my father's debts. I was desperate so I accepted his offer and moved in with him. Will this stranger offer me the love that I yearn for? Or will I be left struggling for peace at the end of this contract?

Valeria was just a wife on paper. Three years of a hellish marriage with the only man she had ever loved but it ended in divorce one rainy night. "Sign them. I can no longer stand to see your face or pretend like I don't want to strangle you with my bare hands everytime I lay eyes on you." He barked coldly, throwing the papers on the table in front of her. She couldn't say it was unexpected. It had always been a matter of time. Once childhood friends, everything had gone to hell because of one woman, Isis Whittaker, Luka's late fianceé. An unfortunate accident. An incriminating message. Somehow, Luka came to believe Valeria was responsible for the death of the woman he loved and took it upon himself to punish her personally. Three years of torment and being labelled a murderer. She'd never thought the ending would be so...cathartic. Her hand lightly grazed her stomach as she signed the papers. Terrified of how she would explain she was pregnant from a night of passion he didn't even remember, she no longer needed to tell him. She would make sure he was never going to find out that she was carrying his son, the heir to the Thorne Empire. But then again, things never quite go as planned, she should have realized this by now...

Aliya woke up in a dingy, freezing apartment with a throbbing headache, only to realize a horrifying truth. She had transmigrated into the American romance novel she read just last night, becoming the ultimate vicious supporting character. The exhausted man walking through the front door was Cyrus Pace, an amnesiac billionaire currently living under the delusion that he was a broke laborer. The original owner had trapped him with fabricated memories of being childhood sweethearts. Worse, she relentlessly abused him. Her phone was filled with toxic texts calling him a useless loser, and she had just staged a psychotic hunger strike to force him to buy a designer bag. Cyrus already looked at her with bone-deep, visceral disgust. In the original plot, the moment he regained his memory, his ruthless revenge would send her straight to a maximum-security prison for the rest of her life. "Are you done playing your hunger strike game?" Hearing his cold, mocking voice, the sheer terror made Aliya's blood run cold. How was she supposed to survive living with a future tyrant who already despised her? Every time his massive shadow fell over their cramped, shared mattress, her heart stopped. A single wrong move—even a microscopic mistake like accidentally crossing a physical line—would completely seal her doom. Staring at the torn box of condoms hidden under the bed, Aliya made a desperate, life-or-death decision. She had to completely rewrite her toxic persona, secretly hustle a high-commission real estate job, and save enough money to flee the country before the billionaire remembered exactly who he was.

"The child is mine." My husband, the Capo of the Chicago Outfit, announced to the world, his hand resting protectively on his mistress's stomach.

Just hours before, I had finally gotten the positive test we had prayed for over five years. But Dante chose to claim a traitor's bastard as his heir. When I tried to confront him, he dismissed me cold-heartedly. "It's a strategic lie, Elena. You aren't pregnant, so it doesn't matter." He didn't know. Later, when an accident left his mistress critical, he dragged me to the hospital. He forced me to donate my blood to save her, ignoring my ghostly pallor. He didn't know I was already bleeding out. He didn't know I had just come from the clinic, where I had removed the "complication" he made me feel ashamed of. He thought he was being noble. He didn't realize he was killing his own son to save another man's lie. On the night of the gala celebrating his "heir," I left a white box on his desk and vanished. Inside was a medical report: *Termination of Pregnancy. 8 Weeks. Father: Dante Moretti.* By the time he read it, I was already gone.

I walked into the hospital wing to find my fiancé, Derrick, holding his pregnant high-school sweetheart. His plan was sickening: he would publicly claim her baby to save her from scandal, while our child, the one I was secretly carrying, would be hidden away-a shameful 'accident'. He locked me in a damp guesthouse as his mother called me a whore and my unborn child a bastard. But the true cost of his weakness came when she dragged me to a clinic and forced an abortion, killing my seven-month-old baby while Derrick was away caring for his other family. Six months later, I returned. Backed by a powerful new family, I walked into the Bradford Corporation's boardroom to face them all. Derrick looked at me like he'd seen a ghost, not realizing I was there to take his entire empire. I signed the papers that made me his boss and smiled for the cameras. "The old Ava is dead," I whispered. "Long live the queen."

On my eighteenth birthday, as my bones broke and reshaped for my First Shift, I looked up at Autry from the cold marble floor. The Alpha. My guardian. And as the moon decided, my Fated Mate. I reached a trembling hand toward him, desperate for the bond to settle the agony tearing me apart. Instead, he recoiled. "I reject you," he spat, his voice devoid of emotion. Beside him, his Beta mistress smirked, wearing a diamond bought with his pack's debt. He didn't reject me because I was unfaithful; he broke our soul bond because I was a "charity-case Omega" with no political value. He threw a check onto the floor, letting it land in a pool of my own sweat, and gave me one hour to get out. But exile wasn't enough for them. To ensure I couldn't return, they framed me. While I was bleeding out at the border, they released doctored photos accusing me of sleeping with Rogues, destroying my reputation just to save his poll numbers with the council. I watched a livestream of them bulldozing my mother's rose garden, laughing as they erased my existence. He thought I would die in the wild. He thought the rejection had killed my wolf. Five years later, I stepped out of a limousine in front of his corporate tower. I wasn't the scrawny orphan anymore. I was J.B., the face of Vogue, carrying the awakened power of the rare White Wolf bloodline. Autry rushed to meet me, eyes glowing gold, thinking he could simply snap his fingers and get his mate back. He didn't notice the massive sapphire ring on my finger. Or the Alpha of the European Silver Mist Pack standing behind me, ready to tear his throat out if he took one more step.

My little brother’s heart monitor was screaming its final warning. I called my husband, Dante Volkov, the ruthless underworld king whose life I’d saved years ago. He had promised to send his elite medical team. “I’m handling an emergency,” he snapped, then hung up. An hour later, my brother was dead. I found out what Dante’s “emergency” was from his mistress’s social media. He had sent his team of world-class surgeons to deliver her cat’s kittens. My brother died for a litter of cats. When Dante finally called, he didn't even apologize. I could hear her voice in the background, asking him to come back to bed. He even forgot my brother was dead, offering to buy him a new toy to replace the one his mistress deliberately crushed. This was the man who had promised to protect me, to make my high school tormentors pay. Now, he was holding that very tormentor, Seraphina, in his arms. Then came the final blow: a call from the clerk's office revealed our seven-year marriage was a sham. The certificate was a forgery. I was never his wife. I was just a possession he was tired of. After he left me to die in a car crash for Seraphina, I made one call. I texted a rival mob heir I hadn't spoken to in years: "I need to disappear. I'm calling it in."
