An autobiographical account of his confinement in a mental institution of the time, by Clifford Whittingham Beers.

I was secretly with Cole-my best friend Brooke's brother-for five years, only to find out I'd always been a stand-in for Alexis, my half-sister. He lied to me, took intimate photos of me without consent to share, and humiliated me publicly. Heartbroken, I ended things, took a job in Norlan Town, and even thought I was pregnant. Later, work brought me back to Belmor Town. I reunited with Gabriel, and kept dealing with Alexis's harassment. When my dad died from a sudden heart attack, grief pushed me to fight back-and Gabriel, who'd loved me quietly for years, stood by my side to take on the Price family. Gabriel and I formed a sacred bond. Even when Cole finally woke up, admitted he'd loved me all along, I couldn't go back.

I was securing the diamond clasp of my necklace when the security monitor blinked to life, revealing my husband burying his face between his assistant's thighs. Just an hour later, Dante Moretti stood by my side at the Gala, playing the part of the devoted Capo, while his mistress smirked at me from across the room in a dress that screamed for attention. I wanted to leave. I had packed my bags, ready to disappear. But then the doctor told me the news: I was six weeks pregnant with the Vitiello-Moretti heir. I thought the baby might save us. I thought it would stop the madness. I was wrong. When his mistress accused me of betrayal to cover her own tracks, Dante didn't listen to his wife. He listened to the woman warming his bed. In a blind rage, the man who swore to protect me struck me down. I felt the sharp, tearing pain in my abdomen before I even hit the stone floor. As blood stained my pristine white dress, I realized he hadn't just broken his vows. He had killed our unborn son. So, when the opportunity came to detonate the gas line and fake my own death, I didn't hesitate. I let the world believe Seraphina Moretti died in that explosion. Ten years later, I returned to a city that thought I was a ghost. I dismantled his supply lines, froze his assets, and watched his empire crumble piece by piece. And when he was finally on his knees in the rain, broken and destitute, I stepped out of the shadows. I didn't come back for his money. I came back to hand him the ultrasound photo of the child he murdered. "Hello, Dante."

A love to cherish is a term often used to describe a deep and lasting love between two individuals. It is a love that is built on mutual respect, trust, and admiration. A love to cherish is not something that is easily achieved, as it requires patience, understanding, and a willingness to work through difficult times. The foundation of a love to cherish is often laid during the early stages of a relationship, when the two individuals are getting to know each other. This is a time of discovery, where both parties are learning about each other's interests, values, and goals. It is during this time that they begin to establish a strong emotional connection, one that will serve as the bedrock of their relationship. As the relationship progresses, the couple will encounter various challenges that will test the strength of their love. This may include disagreements, misunderstandings, or even external factors that put pressure on their relationship. It is during these difficult times that a love to cherish truly shines, as the couple is able to rely on their strong emotional connection and work together to overcome any obstacles that come their way. One of the key characteristics of a love to cherish is the willingness of both individuals to put in the effort to maintain the relationship. This includes communication, compromise, and a willingness to make sacrifices for each other. It is through these acts of love and devotion that the relationship is able to thrive and grow stronger over time.

Kloe Guthrie dragged her crystal-encrusted wedding gown down the penthouse corridor, exhausted but ready to finally be alone with her new husband, Justen. But as she passed the presidential suite, a familiar, cloying perfume stopped her. Through the cracked door, she saw Justen brutally thrusting into her cousin, Candyce. "Like fucking a corpse with Kloe," Justen grunted, his voice thick with lust. "Worth it for the trust fund control, though." Candyce giggled, mocking Kloe's pathetic gratitude. Shattered, Kloe stumbled backward in the dark, only to be caught by Julian Larsen—Justen's billionaire best man. Instead of offering sympathy, Julian trapped her against the wall. He forced her to listen to her husband's cruel mockery, then dragged her into the opposite suite, tearing off her wedding dress and dismantling her dignity piece by piece. Everything she had believed for four years was a meticulously calculated lie. She was nothing but a boring prop to the man she loved, a naive fool meant to be drained of her family's immense wealth and laughed at behind closed doors. The humiliation and betrayal burned through her veins like acid. "You could cry," Julian whispered against her neck, his eyes predatory and dark. "Or you could make him regret he was ever born." Instead of running from the man cornering her in the dark, Kloe looked at the destroyed remains of her life, grabbed Julian's collar, and pulled him in. This time, she would make them all pay.

Alida caught her boyfriend in bed with another woman, only to discover a frat house contract on his nightstand. Her love and submission had been nothing but a fifty-thousand-dollar bet. She extorted the check from him to pay for her dying father's surgery, then went to a club to drink away the brutal betrayal. But her malicious stepsister secretly drugged her drink, planning to sell her to an underground thug to pay off a debt. Burning from the chemical mix and running on pure terror, Alida escaped into a VIP hallway and crashed straight into a wall of solid muscle. Desperate and out of her mind, she slapped the fifty-thousand-dollar check against the handsome stranger's chest. "I'm buying you for the night." She had no idea the man she just bought was Jax Vaughn, the ruthless, untouchable billionaire tyrant of Wall Street. The next morning, Alida fled the penthouse, leaving behind a single crumpled hundred-dollar bill and a humiliating note. "Service fee. Average skills. Like an uncivilized beast." Seven years later, Alida returned to New York, holding the hand of her genius seven-year-old son who possessed the exact same pitch-black eyes as the billionaire. She thought her past was buried forever, safely hidden away from the monster she had insulted. But her father's mounting medical bills forced her to accept a high-paying executive interview at Vaughn Enterprises. In the middle of the grand lobby, she stepped right into a familiar, terrifying chest. Jax Vaughn's iron grip locked onto her wrist, recognizing her scent instantly, his eyes burning with seven years of obsessive, murderous rage. "You."

"Mommy Daddy! where are you? You said you'd bring me back" I promised sobbing There was trouble at the mansion earlier, I just wanted to play with Mom Even though Mom asked me to wait for them here in front of the big tree, I preferred to go back to the mansion I entered the garden and didn't notice the stone because I was so scared I was about to cry when I heard someone approaching where I was I tried to hide in the garden even though I was holding my painful leg when I heard Mom's voice I quickly opened the leaves a little to see what was happening "You're really a *p Ricardo! Why don't you want to stop us?!" Mom shouted as the two men held her in both hands "Oh come on Athena you know why, you know the reason why! It's because of this man!" the man shouted and stomped on Dad who was in a wheelchair Dad just got out of the hospital because he was involved in an accident and he is not well yet "Ahh! you still haven't changed, Ricardo, you're still the devil, why don't you fight me fairly, you know I'm weak now, so rush in!" Dad said angrily "HAHAHAHA that's life Carlos, there's no fairness in the world! now that you have nothing to do why don't I give you a show" said the man and approached Mom "You're still really beautiful, Athena, even if the edge of your lips is bleeding, if you had chosen me, I hope you wouldn't have been hurt like this" the man said and suddenly kissed Mom Mom kicked between the two legs of the man causing him to kneel "You're rude! Damn you!" Mom shouted Not long after, the man immediately stood up and punched Mom, causing her to lose consciousness then he did his evil plan to my mother, he took my Mom in front of Dad Dad struggled while being held by two men but he couldn't do anything because he was carrying something Dad shouts for the man to stop what he is doing to Mom the punches of the two men accompanied Dad's shouting Soon the man stopped and adjusted his clothes Then he turned to Dad and smiled mischievously "Now we're fair Carlos, your wife is delicious HAHAHAHA" the man said and he and his staff laughed The man returned to where Mom was and pulled out his katana "I know that no matter what I do, you will never be mine, it's better to disappear from the world!" said the man then cut off Mom's head He turned to Dad and sneered at him "I'm going to take you to impy*rno Carlos with your wife!" said the man and without a word Dad's head was also cut off I was about to scream when someone covered my mouth The man turned to where I was, what struck me when he walked towards me I just closed my eyes and held the hand covering my mouth I just calmed down when I heard him walk away from us "Boys! Congratulations we are successful!" the man said happily and finally they all left I slowly looked at the person who covered my mouth, Dad's bodyguard "P-I'm sorry little madame w-I didn't do anything but p-I'm begging you p-try to live l-safely until your l-grandfather finds you" he said before losing consciousness "W-wake up p-po" I said and shook him slightly, I was surprised by a red liquid that flowed from his side I approached my parents and suddenly ................. "Keith! Keith! what the hell is giving you nightmares again!" Aiki said while shaking me I got up while catching my breath "Is it that dream again?" Regie asked I took a deep breath and nodded in response "Here drink this" said Aiki as he held out a glass of water " Are you sure you don't know the people you dream about? Since we were little, you always dreamed of that, isn't it connected to your personality?" asked Regie "I don't know either, I don't know anything" was my only answer while calming myself down Why do I always have nightmares? Who are those people? why do I call them Mom and Dad as far as I know I don't have parents How long should I dream about it?

The last thing I remembered was the cold concrete against my cheek and the metallic taste of my own blood. Above the ringing in my ears, I heard Olivia, my wife, screaming, not for me, but for Ethan, her charming assistant. I had pushed her out of the way of falling scaffolding, saving her life, only for a steel pipe to crush mine; a minor gash on Ethan' s forehead was treated like a mortal wound while my entire life drained away. As paramedics rushed Ethan onto a stretcher, my vision blurred, and the brutal truth crystallized: all my sacrifices, years working to support her dreams, meant nothing. I was worth less than her lover's superficial cut, and my love for her finally died, just moments before I did. Then, I blinked. Suddenly, the sterile hospital smell was gone, replaced by Olivia' s familiar, expensive perfume, and I was standing whole, pain-free, in the living room of our ridiculously large, empty house. It was the night of our biggest fight, a week before the accident, a fight that had set the stage for the end. "Liam, I' m tired of this," she said, tossing a black credit card onto the coffee table. "Here. A million-dollar credit line. Go buy yourself whatever you want. Just stop acting like a wounded puppy every time I spend time with Ethan. It' s pathetic." In my past life, her words had shattered me, driving me to refuse the card and plead for her love, a futile mistake. But this time, I was reborn. I calmly picked up the card, a chilling question forming on my lips: "So I can spend as much as I want?"
