His Unwanted Wife Is A Genius Healer
Elizbeth married the wealthy heir Carlton Wilkinson to save her grandfather's life's work.
But on their wedding night, instead of a loving husband, she faced a cold tyrant. He forced her to sign a brutal prenup, stripped her of all family rights, and banished her to a dingy guest room.
He was convinced she was just a pathetic, gold-digging liar.
When a catastrophic pain attack drove Carlton to smash his own head against the wall, Elizbeth rushed in to save him using her specialized acupuncture. She risked her life to calm his spasming nerves.
But the moment he woke up, he nearly choked her to death. He threw her against the wall, bleeding and bruised, accusing her of using cheap parlor tricks to poison him.
The next morning, his greedy relatives openly mocked her cheap clothes, waiting like vultures for Carlton to drop dead so they could steal his fortune.
Elizbeth was humiliated and terrified, but she soon discovered a classified secret.
Carlton was a former Delta Force operator slowly going mad from an undetectable weaponized biotoxin. The poison made him paranoid and violent. He would rather die in agony than accept help from a woman he despised.
Begged by his desperate grandfather, Elizbeth knew she had to cure him in the shadows.
At 1:00 AM, she slipped a heavy, odorless sedative into his water and sneaked into his pitch-black bedroom to begin the detox.
But as her silver needle hovered over his skin, a massive hand shot out and pinned her violently to the mattress.
"How much did they pay you to poison me?" he hissed in the dark, his eyes wide awake and blazing with murderous fury.

Chapter 2
Elizbeth dragged her suitcase down the long, freezing corridor of the Wilkinson estate. The wheels rattled loudly against the marble floor, the sound echoing off the high ceilings.
She reached the door at the very end of the hall. She pushed it open and dragged her bag inside.
The guest room was sparsely furnished. The air smelled stale, like a room that hadn't been breathed in for months.
Elizbeth let go of the suitcase handle. Her knees buckled. She collapsed onto the edge of the stiff mattress and buried her face in her hands.
A ragged sob ripped from her throat. Her shoulders shook violently as the tears she had been holding back finally poured out. The silence of the room absorbed her pain, offering no comfort.
After a few minutes, her breathing slowed. She wiped her wet cheeks with the back of her hand. Her chest still ached, but her eyes hardened.
She unzipped the front pocket of her suitcase. Her fingers brushed against a worn, wooden picture frame. She pulled it out.
It was a photo of her and her grandfather standing in front of his clinic. He was smiling, his hand resting proudly on her shoulder.
Elizbeth traced his face through the glass. Her throat tightened. As long as the clinic is safe, she told herself. I can survive this.
She stood up and reached behind her back, struggling with the zipper of her wedding dress. She finally yanked it down, stepping out of the heavy fabric. She pulled a simple, faded cotton pajama set from her bag and slipped it on.
She pulled the thin blanket back and prepared to lie down.
A violent pounding on the door made her jump. The wood rattled in its frame.
Elizbeth's heart slammed against her ribs. She walked to the door on bare feet and slowly turned the handle.
Carlton stood in the hallway. His face was a mask of dark fury. His chest rose and fell rapidly, his eyes wild and impatient.
Before Elizbeth could speak, his large hand shot out. His fingers clamped around her wrist like a steel vice.
"Ow!" Elizbeth gasped, trying to pull her arm back.
Carlton ignored her. He turned and yanked her out of the guest room.
Elizbeth stumbled forward, struggling to keep her balance. Her bare feet slapped against the freezing marble as he dragged her down the corridor.
As they rounded the corner, a woman in a crisp black uniform froze in her tracks. It was Judi Grimes, the head housekeeper. Her eyes widened as she stared at Carlton dragging his new bride down the hall.
Carlton stopped abruptly. He turned his head, his eyes narrowing into lethal slits as he glared at the housekeeper.
"Keep your mouth shut, Judi," he warned, his voice a low, dangerous growl.
Judi immediately dropped her gaze to the floor and scurried away down a side hallway.
Elizbeth's cheeks burned with intense heat. The humiliation of being dragged like a misbehaving child in front of the staff made her stomach churn.
Carlton didn't slow down. He pulled her all the way back to the master bedroom. He kicked the door open, dragged her inside, and threw her toward the center of the room.
Elizbeth crashed onto the velvet sofa. She scrambled to sit up, rubbing her red, throbbing wrist. She glared at him, her chest heaving.
Carlton marched into the massive walk-in closet. A second later, he walked out holding a sheer, black silk nightgown. He threw it directly at her face.
"Put it on," he ordered.
Elizbeth pulled the silk from her face. She looked at the tiny straps and the plunging neckline. Her face flushed a deep crimson.
"I'm not changing in front of you," she snapped, clutching the fabric to her chest.
Carlton let out a harsh, mocking laugh. "Don't flatter yourself. There is absolutely nothing on your body that I want to look at."
He turned his back to her, crossing his arms over his chest.
Elizbeth's jaw tightened. Her fingers shook as she pulled her cotton shirt over her head. She stripped out of her pants and quickly slid the cold, slippery silk over her body. It clung to her skin, offering almost no coverage.
"I'm done," she muttered, wrapping her arms around her waist.
Carlton turned around. His dark eyes flicked to her bare shoulders. His gaze lingered there for exactly one second before he snapped his eyes back to her face.
He closed the distance between them in two long strides. He reached out and pinched her chin between his thumb and forefinger, forcing her to look up at him.
"My grandfather is coming tomorrow morning for a surprise inspection," Carlton said, his voice dropping to a harsh whisper. "You will play the part of a devoted, happy wife. Do you understand?"
Elizbeth stared into his cold eyes. The reality of her situation crushed down on her. She gave a small, jerky nod.
Carlton released her chin as if her skin burned him. He pointed a finger at the velvet sofa.
"That is your bed," he stated coldly.
He turned and walked toward the massive king-sized bed. He climbed in and reached over to the bedside lamp. He clicked it off, plunging the room into darkness, leaving Elizbeth shivering on the couch.

For three years, June played the perfect, submissive wife to billionaire Augustus Pruitt, hoping a child would finally warm his cold heart and secure their marriage.
But when she cautiously suggested they have a baby, he looked at her with pure, unfiltered disgust.
"A woman who schemes her way into a marriage doesn't get to carry my blood."
He sneered, leaving immediately to lavish his mistress with diamonds. The nightmare only escalated from there. Augustus bought the one painting June desperately wanted—a piece she had secretly created herself—just to gift it to his mistress. He publicly outbid June at the gallery, mocking her lack of wealth, and left her to collapse in the freezing rain. When the storm gave her a severe 104-degree fever and she nearly died on their staircase, he didn't even stay by her hospital bed. Instead, he sent an assistant with a box of jewelry to buy her silence, then forced her to attend a family dinner where his mother and sister viciously mocked her barren womb and background.
Looking at Augustus, who sat there casually cutting his steak while his family tore her apart, the last flicker of hope in June's chest sputtered and died.
She finally understood that her three years of bleeding devotion were nothing but a pathetic joke to them.
She dropped her silverware, the sharp clatter silencing the entire room. She wasn't going to be their punching bag anymore. It was time to finalize the divorce papers, reclaim her hidden identity as the world-renowned artist 'mr.sun', and make them all regret it.

For three years, I played the role of a devoted, naive wife to billionaire Conrad Whitney. I hid my true identity and foolishly believed in our fairy tale.
Then he handed me a harsh divorce agreement, ordering me to sign and walk away with absolutely nothing. He was leaving me to marry Cindy, the fragile woman he claimed had saved him from a fire.
He expected me to cry and beg. Instead, he watched coldly as Cindy and her family illegally transferred my father's trust fund. When I confronted them at the hospital, Conrad shielded her, calling me a greedy, toxic viper. He mocked me, completely blind to the fact that Cindy was a fraud. He truly believed I was just a pathetic, useless housewife who would be utterly destroyed without his money and status.
I looked at the man I had actually dragged out of that burning debris with my own soot-covered hands. My trauma, my sacrifices, and my love had all been reduced to a joke by his sheer arrogance and a few fake tears from a manipulative liar.
I didn't shed a single tear. I calmly signed the papers, drugged his wine, and left a crumpled one-dollar bill on his unconscious chest with a sticky note mocking his terrible service.
Then, I picked up my encrypted phone. It was time for the world's top surgeon, Dr. Hades, to return, and for Conrad to finally see the god he had just thrown away.

After years of a freezing, loveless marriage, my billionaire husband Israel finally threw me out to make room for his new lover, Ayla.
Before I even packed my bags, he ordered a crew to shred the Dogwood tree in our backyard and pour thick concrete into the crater, claiming it was a symbol of my infidelity.
He didn't know that buried beneath those roots was the urn containing the ashes of our unborn baby.
Stripped of everything, I tried to rebuild my shattered life by securing a supporting role in an indie film.
But Israel bought the entire production studio just to cast Ayla as the lead, demanding I act as her pathetic stepping stone.
When I refused, he cornered me on set with a sickening audio recording.
"We want one million dollars. This will ruin Karen forever."
It was my own parents. They had forged my medical records, planning to sell a story to the tabloids that I was a violent, delusional schizophrenic.
Israel smiled coldly, threatening to lock me in a padded room on an involuntary psychiatric hold unless I signed an unpaid contract to serve Ayla unconditionally.
My own flesh and blood had sold me out to a ruthless monster for cash.
Staring at the extortion contract, the last shred of desperation and love in my chest burned away into cold, gray ash.
To survive a monster, you have to become one.
I picked up his pen, violently signed my name, and prepared to rip his precious Ayla to shreds on camera.
