On our fifth anniversary, I lay dying on the bathroom floor while my husband ignored my calls to celebrate with his "best friend."
When my neighbor finally rushed me to the ER for a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, my husband arrived hours later, annoyed that I' d ruined his night.
But the real betrayal came when he forced me to drink tequila days after surgery, watching me bleed out just to please his mistress.
At Elsa's launch party, Gideon snatched the shot glass and shoved the alcohol down my throat, mocking my pain as "drama."
As a fresh pool of crimson soaked my dress, he didn't call 911.
He turned to comfort Elsa, who was "shaken" by the scene.

They were wrong.

But to her absolute horror, Donovan's father overheard the threat and ordered a legally binding paternity test that very day to permanently silence all doubts.

I opened my eyes to a tearing pain and an unfamiliar ceiling, lying next to the most powerful man in the capital.
Foreign memories crashed into my mind. I had transmigrated into the body of Irena Frost, a woman who had just drugged and trapped the cold, ruthless heir Evertt Barton into a scandalous marriage.
The original owner did it to escape being sold to a murderous old merchant by her own cruel father. But Evertt didn't know that. When he woke up, his eyes were full of absolute disgust. He threw a prenuptial agreement at my face, demanding a quiet divorce in two years and warning me not to use a pregnancy to blackmail his family. Everyone in the estate treated me like a greedy, pathetic joke, just waiting for the day I would be thrown out onto the streets.
The original Irena had died in despair, terrified and hated by the man she chose as her only shield. I felt a deep ache for the girl who had to ruin her own reputation just to survive. I absolutely refused to let this second chance be dictated by a man who despised me.
I looked right into Evertt's icy eyes and demanded an astronomical divorce settlement to play his perfect wife.
"Deal. I consider it a job."
With millions wired to my account and a magical spatial ring from my past life suddenly awakening on my finger, I stopped crying. I was going to use his money to build a massive commercial empire in secret, and when the two years were up, I would leave without looking back.
