I was the illegitimate daughter from the mountains, ignored by my wealthy father for years until they needed a sacrifice. My stepmother ordered me to marry Guy Livingston in place of my perfect half-sister. Guy had been in a severe car accident six months ago and was now a living corpse. "Kerry can't marry a vegetable, Anna. It would be a disaster for her image." When I refused, they threatened to destroy the preservation project my adoptive grandfather had poured his life into. To protect the only person who ever loved me, I signed the contract selling my life and was sent alone to the terrifying Livingston Estate. I was supposed to be a helpless pawn trapped in a cold room with a comatose husband. But using my grandfather's medical skills, I discovered a shocking secret while treating him. His muscles were firm, and he reacted to my pressure points. Guy Livingston was faking his coma. Before I could expose him, his butler drugged my water to keep me quiet. They all thought I was just a naive country girl they could easily control, drug, and discard in their rich family games. They were dead wrong. When my half-sister and her arrogant cousin came to the estate to physically humiliate me, I didn't run. I tamed the estate's legendary guard dogs with a single look and crippled her cousin's arm with a flick of my wrist. Looking at their terrified faces, I smiled calmly and turned to the butler. "Please notify the matriarch. We are having the trash taken out."

John of the Woods by Abbie Farwell Brown

I was an artist who gave up my career for my tech CEO husband, Jakob. Pregnant with our child, I believed our life was a perfect dream built on his genius. That dream shattered when I discovered his genius was a lie, built on stolen code. Then I overheard his real plan: to drug me, publicly ruin me, and auction off my body after murdering our unborn child. At our anniversary gala, he forced drugged champagne into my hand. I watched him destroy my art-my last dream-before I collapsed, losing our baby on the cold museum floor. They left me for dead, having taken everything-my love, my art, my dignity, and my child. After I survived, I walked into the interrogation room where he was being held. I showed him a fabricated DNA report proving the baby was his, alongside a real document proving he'd had a secret vasectomy. He broke down, believing he'd murdered the son he never knew he could have. "I'll do anything," he sobbed. "Then sign these," I said calmly, pushing the divorce papers and a full transfer of his billion-dollar empire across the table.

Six years ago, Breanna was shoved into a pitch-black hotel suite by her own uncle. She was forced to endure a brutal night with a drugged stranger just to keep her grandmother's ventilator running. Nine months later, she gave birth in a cold underground clinic. But her uncle immediately snatched the crying newborn from her trembling hands, coldly announcing the baby had died. For six years, Breanna lived in agonizing grief, working as a lowly hotel cleaner just to survive. But a cruel setup threw her directly into the path of Elliot Finch, the arrogant billionaire from that dark night. He did not recognize the woman whose life he had completely ruined. Instead, he looked at her like she was rotting garbage, had his guards drag her into a wet alley, and mercilessly got her fired. "If I ever see your face again, I will make sure you cannot get a job cleaning toilets." Breanna was suffocating from the injustice, stripped of her dignity and her family's only lifeline. Yet, when she instinctively protected a traumatized little boy from bullies, she discovered he was Elliot's son. The boy clung to her neck, crying and desperately begging his father to let her stay. But Elliot just threw a massive check at her chest, violently accusing her of brainwashing a sick child for a meal ticket. Looking at the toxic disgust in his eyes, something inside Breanna finally broke. She picked up the check, ripped the millions into tiny shreds, and let them rain down on his expensive shoes. "Keep your dirty money." She turned her back on the crying boy and the stunned billionaire, deciding she would no longer be their victim.

Arlie Solomon walked into her grandfather's funeral in faded jeans, ignoring the disgusted stares of her elite family who viewed her as a forgotten country outcast. But the grand hall froze when the lawyer read the final will. Her grandfather had left his entire billionaire empire—and an irrevocable marriage contract with Kerr Ward, the city's most powerful bachelor—solely to Arlie. The family erupted in venomous rage. Her uncle and cousins relentlessly tried to humiliate her, banishing the new billionaire to a dusty servant's room and mocking her lack of a high school diploma. When petty bullying failed, her uncle slammed a contract on the desk, threatening to publicly disown her if she didn't sign over the company. "You are tearing this family apart. Sign this, or we are done with you!" They thought she was just a helpless, uneducated girl they could easily crush. They had no idea that her five-year absence was a complete void—a "digital ghost" status so heavily encrypted that even Kerr Ward's top-tier intelligence network couldn't find a single trace of her existence. Faced with their ultimate threat, Arlie didn't panic. She calmly pulled a pre-drafted legal document from her backpack to permanently sever their family ties. "Once you sign this, you are legally strangers trespassing in my private residence. I will have you escorted off the property by the police." The charade of the ignorant country girl was over; it was time to clean house.

My daughter Lily hadn't seen her father in five years, so her joyful cry of "Daddy!" echoed through the sterile mansion as she ran to him. But his eyes were not for her. Jessica Hayes, his "one true love," stood beside him, her feigned trip and cry sending him into a panic. He scooped her up, his face contorted with concern, then shot a venomous look at our innocent five-year-old. "Lock her in the master bedroom closet. Three days. No food." My blood ran cold. "Ryan, no! Please, you can't!" "She has asthma, Ryan. She'll suffocate!" He scoffed, accusing me of lies and manipulative ploys. The guards, impervious to my pleas, ripped Lily from my arms. "Mommy! Mommy, I'm sorry!" she shrieked, carried away. That night, her terrified cries faded to desperate whimpers. "Please, Mommy... can't... breathe..." I pounded on the door until my fists were raw, screaming for them to let her out. The whimpers stopped. The closet door opened. Lily lay there, blue, not moving, not breathing. Unconscious from lack of oxygen. The ambulance siren wailed as I sank to the waiting room floor. My phone buzzed. It was Instagram. Jessica Hayes, pouting in a hospital bed with a tiny scratch. Her caption: "Mr. Peterson is so generous! I only scraped my knee and he gave me two luxury apartments as compensation. I guess I'll forgive you now~" Geotagged from a luxury hospital across town. Where our daughter wasn't. He gifted her apartments for a scraped knee, while our child suffocated. A cold numbness spread through me. "Grandma," I whispered, bowing my head to Mrs. Peterson. "Love cannot be forced. Please... let him be with Jessica. I just want to take Lily and leave." My fresh wounds throbbed, tears mixing with blood. I showed her the post, the address of our marital home given away. Mrs. Peterson's face blazed with fury. "That scoundrel! That worthless boy!" "Call that bastard and tell him to get his ass to this hospital immediately!" But it was too late. If Grandma's scolding worked, Lily would never have been locked in that closet.

PROLOGUE "Amara Celestine Fuentes!" I was nervous to hear Dad's voice in my room. I was faster to get down from the blanket I had linked to get down from the window of my room. When my feet fell to the ground, I was surprised and I saw Papa looking at me too. "Bye, Papa" I smiled and waved at him and picked up my wallet that fell to the ground. "Amara, come back here!" It shouted but I just shook my head. "You can't leave, you're married tomorrow!" "I don't want to get married!" I shouted and began to run away. He called me but I didn't bother to turn around. I raised my hand to the air and waved again even though I was running. "Armando, chase Amara!" My eyes widened when he heard what he had said as I walked home. Sh*t! They didn't have to be overwhelmed because I was really*really*around when I was in a bad mood. I slipped into the hole from the bamboo fence. I always go through it every time I run away from Papa. This road is out of the road where there are many passing vehicles. I ran even more so that I could get them out because I knew they would look for me on the highway. When I reached the road, I wrapped my hands on the passing vehicles. No one stops at all so I'm dancing to the twitter. There was a vehicle to go again so I stopped in the middle of the road. I was still very tight because I was as low as it was speeding. I was surprised to hear a series of bushes. Seeing it stopped, I quickly ran the driver's seat and knocked on the window. It opens right away. "Are you d*mn crazy?!" She immediately gave me a hug but I didn't pay attention to her anger. "Help me!" I have a promise. It just grabbed me by the forehead. "I'm not buying your act, Woman" It has driven the car's engine so I'm more in shock. "Someone is chasing me! Please, help me!" I begged him. "I saw a lot of people like you doing this just to fool the innocent. I'm not stup*d to fall in your trap" he promised. He was about to leave the car again but I hung half of my body in the air. It was blown away by the panic. "I'm not cheating on you! There are those who are chasing me and when I get caught by them they will definitely kill me" I forced myself to make myself more believable. "H-don't you help me? When something goes wrong with me ---" "Ride!" I stopped talking when he opened the door to the passenger seat. I smiled secretly because my acting seemed effective. I left the window of his car and immediately boarded the passenger seat and closed the door. It was driving away so I turned to our place. I saw Armando there too, so the wind blew me away. It seemed like a thorn in the chest. He didn't hold back the whole trip. I was just looking out the window and thinking about where I was going today. I have no friends who can stay home. I don't like my relatives either. His cellphone rings so I look at his behavior. She pressed her ear white. "Mr. Fuentes' daughter is missing? So, the wedding is off. That's a great news" I returned the look to the window because of what he said. I was so blurred and stuck in my seat. I secretly bitten my lower lip and shook my arm. I ran away so the wedding would not continue but here I am now in the car of the person who seems to be marrying me. I bowed my head and shook my palm. I think, I'm totally doomed! ---
