Chapter 3

Evelyn and Victor finally forced the sauna door open.

The moment it opened, they saw our two children lying lifeless on the floor.

Their bodies were covered in terrible blisters from the heat. Their little faces had turned a suffocating bluish purple.

At the sight, my vision went black, and I collapsed straight to the ground.

In the haze, I saw Victor rush forward before Evelyn could.

He reached toward the children's noses.

He knew they were already dead.

But he immediately let out a piercing scream.

"Call an ambulance! They're still breathing!"

Then he pointed at my unconscious body and cried to Evelyn.

"Evelyn, you had the temperature set. Nothing happened last night. How could this suddenly happen?

"And Daniel just happened to faint right now.

"Could it be..."

He did not finish the sentence, but the meaning was obvious.

"That monster! He would even scheme against his own children!"

Evelyn believed him.

She kicked me viciously, not caring whether I lived or died, and rode away in the ambulance with the children.

When I woke up, I was lying on the bed in our bedroom.

The moment I opened my eyes, I met Evelyn's bloodshot gaze.

She grabbed me by the throat and lifted me from the bed.

"You still have the nerve to sleep here.

"The children are in the ICU fighting for their lives! This is all your fault!"

She was like an enraged beast, screaming until her voice tore.

"You insane man! If anything happens to them, I'll bury you with them!"

As suffocation closed in, I slapped desperately at her arm.

"Hospital... I need to go to the hospital and see them..."

She threw me away, and I crashed back onto the bed.

"You don't deserve to."

She stormed out and locked the bedroom door from the outside.

"Before I decide how you'll atone, don't even dream of seeing them."

I was imprisoned.

No matter how I cried, shouted, or pounded the door, no one answered.

Not long after, my phone lit up.

It was a text from Victor.

Attached was a photo of a critical condition notice. The picture was blurry, but the words "critical condition" were painfully clear.

Under it was another line.

"The doctors say it's very dangerous. Prepare yourself, Daniel. Those are your children. How could you do something like this just to get Evelyn's attention?"

Every word pushed the blame onto me.

After two days locked inside, the door finally opened.

Evelyn stood there, haggard, but the hatred in her eyes had not faded at all.

"Come out."

Her voice was hoarse.

Two bodyguards dragged me downstairs into the living room.

The room was full of people, relatives and friends of the Hart family.

In the center of the room stood enlarged memorial portraits of my twins.

In the photos, they smiled with innocent brightness.

Victor stood beside Evelyn and whispered something to her.

Evelyn nodded.

Then she came to me.

"Victor said we should hold a memorial blessing for the children and gather prayers for them.

"It will also let you atone properly in front of everyone."

I looked at her and felt only absurdity and grief.

She actually believed such nonsense.

She grabbed my arm and shoved me roughly to the floor, facing the children's photos.

"Kneel.

"Confess your sins to them."

Return Of The Billionaire's Ghost Wife

I died in the terrifying plunge of Flight 815. But when I opened my eyes, I was lying in a luxurious bathtub, completely unharmed. The door opened, and my husband Jordi walked in—looking fifteen years older, his eyes glacial. He pinned me to the wall, his thumb pressing against my windpipe, demanding to know who hired me to play his dead wife. I managed to prove I was the real Isadora, biologically still twenty-eight years old. But my nightmare had just begun. My twenty-three-year-old son Hector looked at my unaged face with pure hatred. "Get this cheap replica out of my father's house, or I'll have him declared incompetent!" My twenty-year-old daughter Blossom, now a spoiled stranger treating Jordi like a personal ATM, screamed at me over the phone. Even Jordi's ambitious female colleague showed up at our estate, treating me like a temporary toy she could easily replace. In the space of a single breath, I had lost fifteen years. My children had grown up without me, learning to hate instead of grieve. Now, they looked at their real mother as if I were a monster trying to steal my own inheritance. But I didn't return from the dead just to be pushed out. I put on my old green silk dress, stepped in front of the female executive, and smiled. If they want to treat me like a threat, I'll fight them all to get my family back.

Runaway Nurse: The Mafia King's Remorse

9.8

For seven years, I served as the eyes for Dante Vitiello, the blind Capo of New York. I pulled him back from the edge of madness, tending to his wounds and warming his bed when everyone else had given up on him. But the moment his vision returned, the years of devotion turned to ash. In a single phone call, he decided to marry Sofia Moretti for territory, dismissing me as just "the maid's daughter" and a "comfort" he intended to keep as a mistress. He forced me to watch him court her. At a gala, when a chaotic accident caused a tower of champagne glasses to shatter, Dante threw his body over Sofia to protect her. He left me standing there, bleeding from the glass shards, while he carried her away like she was porcelain. He didn't even look back at the woman who had saved his life. I realized then that I had worshipped a broken god. I had given him my dignity, only for him to treat me like a disposable bandage now that he was whole. He arrogantly believed I would stay in the penthouse, grateful for his scraps. So, while he was out celebrating his engagement, I met with his mother. I signed the severance agreement for fifty million dollars. I packed my bags, wiped my phone, and boarded a one-way flight to Australia. By the time Dante came home to an empty bed, realized his mistake, and began tearing the city apart to find me, I was already a ghost.

Shattered Innocence: My Brother's Dark Desire

8.8

I lived in the shadow of the Randolph estate, a scholarship girl who spent years calling the heir of the family "brother." I thought the cold distance between us was my protection, a boundary that would keep me safe in a world of wealth and power. Then I woke up on the thick Persian rug of his private study, my body aching and my mind fractured by disjointed, violent memories of whiskey and his scorching touch. Panic flooded my chest as I scrambled to cover myself with a discarded blouse, desperately stammering that it was a mistake, a drunken lapse in judgment. But Hunter sat on the sofa, unbothered and terrifyingly sober. He watched me with eyes that lacked any hint of the haze that clouded my own. "I wasn't drunk, Herminia." The air left the room. He had been fully aware while I was lost in the smoke. Before I could flee, he caught me, his fingers digging into my waist with a grip that felt more like a claim than a rescue. A dark purple bruise bloomed on my neck—a mark of possession that meant my life was over if our mother, Barbara, ever saw it. Instead of letting me go, Hunter used my terror to tighten the noose. He manipulated Barbara into moving me to the East Wing, his private sector where no staff were allowed and every door was a dead end. I became a prisoner in a silk-lined cage, watched by bodyguards he hired to "protect" me from the very scandal he created. At breakfast, I had to sit in silence as Barbara planned his marriage to a wealthy heiress, all while his foot pressed possessively against my leg under the table. He wanted a perfect wife for the cameras and me hidden in his wing as his "common distraction." He even tasted the blood from my wounded finger, whispering that I was his. I looked at the high lace collar hiding my shame and the bars on my beautiful windows. My "brother" was a predator who had bought everyone I trusted, from the maids to my own assistant. As the florists began delivering lilies for his engagement party, I realized I was standing on the edge of a bottomless abyss, and the only person holding the key to my cage was the monster who wanted to consume me.
