Five years of silence had turned my marriage into a tomb. My husband, Ethan, a brilliant CEO, was a stranger. I decided to leave, taking our six-year-old son, Leo. We couldn't live like that anymore. But as we drove away, a blinding light erupted. Then, darkness. The 'accident' left Leo with one eye gone, and me, a kidney missing. Guilt consumed me; I blamed myself for leaving. Ethan, the 'devoted' husband, played his part on live TV, begging for 100 days to prove his love. Broken and weak, I believed him. So I agreed. Day ninety-nine arrived. I overheard Ethan's voice, casual and chilling, from his study. He was talking to Dr. Peterson, the surgeon. Not about a car crash, but about harvesting. My son's eye, my kidney – taken. For Chloe, his mistress, and her son, Liam. The 'accident' was deliberate, a monstrous organ farm. My world tilted, my trust shattered. The man who' d begged for my forgiveness had butchered us for his affair. He brought his new 'family' into our home, and when I reacted to their cruelty, his hand struck me. That brutal slap, Leo's horrified, awakened face – it ignited a cold, black fury. This was no longer about leaving.This was about retribution.And I knew exactly what I had to do.

As the sole heir to the Pittman dynasty, I was presented with three marriage proposals. They were from the daughters of Boston's most powerful families-Kortney, Danielle, and Jinnie, my childhood friends whom I had loved my entire life. But my life became a series of tragedies. I married them one by one, and one by one, they died protecting the same man: Jeb Clayton, the son of our estate manager. On her deathbed, my third wife, Jinnie, confessed the devastating truth. "We only ever loved Jeb." She told me they married me for my power, using the Pittman name as a shield to keep their low-status lover safe and in their lives. My marriages, their deaths-it was all a lie. I wasn't a husband; I was a bodyguard, a cuckolded fool in their tragic romance. I spent a lifetime as a supporting character and died an old man, alone, with only the city's pity for company. My entire life had been a cruel joke, and I was the punchline. Until I opened my eyes again. I was twenty-four, standing before my parents, with the same three velvet boxes on the table.

I was a brilliant scientist, but in my family, I was always the shadow to my perfect, manipulative sister, Jetta. On the day I was set to receive the prestigious Harrison Award, my family was only focused on her graduation party, dismissing my life's work as a mere hobby. That same day, I was brutally attacked in my own lab. The men who did it used Jetta's keycard and sneered that she sent them to "teach me a lesson" and put me in my place. Bleeding out on the cold floor, I made one last desperate call to my fiancé, Hayden. "Stop being so dramatic," he snapped before hanging up. "This is Jetta's big day. Don't you dare ruin it for attention." My mother came downstairs, saw nothing but a mess, and left a voicemail scolding me for being selfish. My soul ripped free from my body, forced to watch them celebrate. I saw the love in Hayden's eyes-not for me, but for Jetta. To them, my death was just another one of my "attention-seeking stunts." Now, as a ghost trapped in my own home, I watch them find my body and slowly piece together their neglect from my journal. But they've overlooked the one thing that will expose it all: the memory pendant around my neck, which recorded every horrifying second of the truth.

Caroline married a grease-stained mechanic after a deliberate one-night stand, needing a flawless civilian cover for her undercover mission. But just as she successfully orchestrated a massive police raid to dismantle a local drug ring, she was thrown into a holding cell to maintain her disguise. She called her fake husband for help, playing the terrified, helpless wife. Yet when Damon bailed her out, there was no comfort in his eyes, only absolute disgust. He threw his heavy jacket at her like she was trash and refused to look at her. "Get in the truck." His voice was dead and flat. Back at the apartment, he locked himself in the bathroom, leaving her shivering in the dark. Damon thought she was just a dirty waitress who had been cheating on him with a drug dealer. He had no idea she was the elite agent who had just brought the entire syndicate to its knees. But as Caroline sat in the cold living room, a chilling realization washed over her. How did a struggling mechanic have the power to pull her out of police custody in an hour with zero paper trail? Why did his "late-night drinking" perfectly align with the cartel's secret delivery schedule? And why did his body bear the hardened scars of a trained operative? Wiping away her fake tears, Caroline stared at the locked door. Her ordinary, working-class husband was hiding a terrifying secret. The mission wasn't over. The real hunt had just begun.

The ruthless and merciless king of the Volkov empire, Leo, had been in a terrible car accident and I felt I might offer him something-anything-before it was too late.

The true shock set in when I got home and discovered my boyfriend, Dmitri Baranov, locked in a hug with my sister Mara. Betrayal hardly starts to cover the damage I experienced. The worst of all is also Cold as usual, my family hardly even looked at it. Always more worried with family reputation than with my own happiness, my mother chastised me for being "dramatic." She solely considered what would be best for the family, not what I needed. But when Leo gets back, exactly as volatile and deadly as before, I find myself dragged back into a world of secrets and revenge threatening everything.

She looks back into his eyes with her drowsy ones, searching for answers. His lips suddenly touched hers and he planted a kiss. She felt a sudden burst of butterflies in her belly.
