A Heart Gone Cold

At the law firm, Adrian was sorting through his case files when his assistant burst in, breathless.

"Adrian, bad news. Selene's been hurt badly. She's in surgery right now, and the hospital needs your signature for the operation."

Adrian barely looked up. "So, she's backing out now? Unbelievable. Tell her I'm not going."

He went right back to going through his files.

His assistant snatched the files from his hands, panic rising in his voice. "I'm serious, Adrian! The hospital called—"

Adrian's brows tightened. Irritation flashed in his eyes. "What did Selene offer you to take her side? Even you've started speaking up for her now. If she truly wants my forgiveness, she can crawl here herself and beg for it. Maybe then I'll consider it. Now, get out."

After the assistant left, Adrian switched his phone to airplane mode so I couldn't bother him again.

When his workday finally ended, he turned his phone back on, only to see dozens of missed calls and frantic messages from Linda.

He thought something must've happened at home and immediately called back. But instead of concern, he was met with his mother's furious voice.

"You heartless fool! Where the hell have you been? Selene's in critical condition; she's dying! Get to the hospital right now!"

The call ended with a slam. Adrian's chest burned with anger. 'That woman is always stirring up trouble. Pretending to die now? And even dragging my mother into it? She'd better be ready for what's coming.'

He jumped into his car and sped toward the hospital.

In the passenger seat, Ella sat pale and silent, her hands clutching her skirt so tightly her knuckles turned white.

When they stepped out of the elevator at the hospital, Adrian barely had time to look around before a sharp slap landed across Ella's face.

"You vile woman!" Linda shouted at Ella, her voice trembling with rage. "How could you be so cruel?"

Adrian instantly stepped in front of Ella, shielding her. "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why would you hit Ella?"

He wrapped an arm protectively around Ella's shoulders, trying to soothe her.

Linda was shaking with rage, her voice breaking as she shouted, "Good Lord! What did I do to deserve this? I swear, I'll beat some sense into you today!"

Before she could, Adrian's father, Alexander Cross, grabbed him by the collar and dragged him toward the ICU doors. His hand came down hard across Adrian's face.

"You ungrateful son! Look for yourself. Selene's fighting for her life, and you didn't even bother to come! She's dying!"

Through the glass, Adrian finally saw me lying on the hospital bed.

Machines surrounded me, tubes running across my body. I was wrapped in layers of white bandages, some already stained dark red where the blood had seeped through.

Adrian's eyes widened. The disgust that had once twisted his face gave way to shock and disbelief. His lips trembled as he whispered, almost to himself, "That's impossible. Ella told me she was faking it…"

Frances survived a horrific car crash, only to return to a suffocating life. Her wealthy husband, Baron, and his domineering mother were now relentlessly pressuring her to adopt a "poor, distant relative" named Jagger as the heir to their billionaire empire. But on her way to sign the adoption papers, a violent vision flashed in her mind. The crash wasn't an accident. She saw her car in flames, while Baron watched with cold, calculating eyes. Beside him stood an older Jagger, who calmly muttered the chilling truth. "The problem is solved." A private investigator soon confirmed her worst nightmares. Jagger wasn't a charity case; he was Baron's illegitimate son. The family had been illegally funneling offshore money to fund his elite lifestyle. Worse, Baron's ultimate plan was to label Frances mentally unstable, lock her away in a Swiss sanatorium for life, and bring in Jagger's biological mother to take her place. For years, Frances had played the perfect, obedient wife in their corporate marriage contract. How could they be so ruthlessly evil, plotting her agonizing death just to legitimize their dirty bloodline and steal her trust fund? But she was no longer the fragile puppet they thought she was. At the high-stakes board meeting, with all eyes expecting her to submit, she put the expensive pen down. "I refuse."

My Coming of Age ceremony was supposed to be a coronation. Instead, it was a funeral for my heart. I stood shivering as Catalina, the woman trying to steal my place, pushed me into the stone pool. My heavy silk dress pulled me down like an anchor. I waited for Jax, the Alpha Heir and my Fated Mate, to save me. He did dive in—but not for me. He scooped up Catalina, who was standing in waist-deep water, treating her like a porcelain doll while I choked on the water. His voice exploded in my head, not with concern, but with disgust. "Stop embarrassing me, Eliana. You look pathetic." Things only got worse. When I confronted them later, Catalina shoved me down the grand staircase. My knee—my dancer’s knee—snapped with a sickening sound. Jax didn't call a doctor. He used the Alpha Command to force me to drag my broken body out of the room so I wouldn't "upset" his mistress. I thought he was just blinded by love, until I overheard him laughing with his Beta. He admitted he didn't love Catalina. He was just using her to break my spirit, to "tame" me into a submissive pet before finally marking me. He thought I was weak. He thought I would stay in the mud forever. He was wrong. I took a silver knife and scraped our carved initials off the Sacred Oak until my skin sizzled. I packed my bags for New York, severing the pack link that bound us. "Sleep well, Jax. Because when I come back, I won't be the girl you broke. I will be the nightmare you created."
