As the New Year's dinner concluded and we prepared to leave, Miranda Wells, the manager, blocked my path and forced me to pay the bill. I firmly refused, but Miranda was tough. "I am doing you a favor by asking you to pay the bill! Who in this country would dare to defy anyone from the Harris family? Do you have a death wish?" She sneered, rolling up her sleeves and pointing at me before I spoke. "Do you know who I am? Nikolas Harris, the CEO of the Harris Group, is my husband! I am Mrs. Harris!" I was stunned. I was married to Nikolas, so why was Miranda claiming to be his wife? In the next moment, I called Nikolas at the spot. "Why am I unaware that you have another wife?"

Chapter 1

As the New Year's dinner concluded and we prepared to leave, Miranda Wells, the manager, blocked my path and forced me to pay the bill.

I firmly refused, but Miranda was tough. "I am doing you a favor by asking you to pay the bill! Who in this country would dare to defy anyone from the Harris family? Do you have a death wish?"

She sneered, rolling up her sleeves and pointing at me before I spoke. "Do you know who I am? Nikolas Harris, the CEO of the Harris Group, is my husband! I am Mrs. Harris!"

I was stunned. I was married to Nikolas, so why was Miranda claiming to be his wife?

In the next moment, I called Nikolas at the spot. "Why am I unaware that you have another wife?"

...

As soon as I hung up, Miranda flew into a rage.

"Bang!" She grabbed a stick and struck me. "Still dare to make calls? Believe it or not, I'll have you carried out of here!"

"How dare you!" My best friend, Yana Fowler, stepped forward and shielded me. "Is this how someone from the Harris Group behaves? You bully others with your power and even resort to violence."

"I am Mrs. Harris, and I am offering you a privilege to ask you to pay the bill. Don't be ungrateful. Are you trying to reason with me? My words are law!"

I scoffed and glanced at Miranda. "No matter how powerful the Harris Group is, it hasn't taught you extortion, has it?"

Miranda raised her eyebrows, took a cigarette from a nearby subordinate, and lit it. She looked like a female gangster. "I'm giving you a chance to maintain your dignity by letting you pay the bill. In Caelton, countless people plead with me, and I couldn't care less."

So did she try to maintain my dignity?

None of the Shaw family ever needed to beg for such opportunities in Caelton.

I glanced at Yana, who looked grim.

She was a woman from a prominent family in Osrebens and probably hadn't expected to be humiliated by a mere manager in Caelton.

"You two idiots, what I say goes in Caelton!" She then turned to her bodyguards. "Teach these two blind women a lesson!"

Instantly, a dozen bodyguards dressed in black filed in and encircled us.

Yana immediately stood in front of me and fought back.

But we were outnumbered, and she was soon subdued by a bodyguard attacking from behind.

"Yana!" I tried to rush over, but a stick hit my abdomen. I instantly felt dizzy.

As I struggled, I saw Yana cursing as she fought back.

"Bang!" The next second, a bottle smashed against my head, and blood trickled down my cheek.

A bodyguard pinned me to the floor and made me watch helplessly as Miranda thrust a lit cigarette into Yana's mouth. Miranda continued her tirade. "Dare to defy me? You'll learn your lesson today. The Harris Group is not to be trifled with."

Yana was force-fed an entire bottle of whiskey. She looked so miserable.

She had merely come for the New Year's gathering, yet found herself embroiled in this disaster, although she didn't do anything wrong.

I said sternly, "Miranda, I am Nikolas's wife, Rita Shaw." I pointed painfully at Yana and continued, "She is Yana Fowler, the daughter of a prominent family from Osrebens. You can still make amends if you apologize to us now!"

As my words fell, Miranda paused with the bottle in hand. Then she let out a piercing laugh. "You are Nikolas's wife, the daughter of the Shaw family? You both must be delusional!"

Her subordinates nearby laughed wildly, and even tears streamed down their faces. "Everyone in Caelton knows Miranda is Mrs. Harris. You two young women are really looking for trouble. How dare you say that? We've never heard of the Shaw family or Osrebens. If you're going to lie, at least make it believable."

Now, she's trapped, a pawn in his game, forced to warm his bed while he waits for his true mate, her heart breaking with every stolen moment. As a 'wolfless' in the Blackwood Pack, Anya felt like an outsider, always yearning for a connection. One night, in a drunken haze, a misdirected text meant for her best friend landed in Alpha Declan Blackwood's inbox: ""Send me something hot."" Minutes later, the most powerful, terrifying man in the Pack stood at her door, claiming her with a possessive kiss that ignited a dangerous, unwanted fire. The next morning, his cold indifference shattered her world. Publicly humiliated and instantly fired, Anya became a pariah. Her dying mother's urgent need for a million-dollar heart transplant left her with an impossible choice: accept the Alpha's cold, transactional marriage proposal or watch her mother die. She became his ""placeholder"" wife, a contract, not a partner, all while battling a confusing attraction to the man who treated her as property. Why did he demand her, only to remind her constantly of her worthlessness, especially when everyone knew he waited for his true mate? Her world crumbled when she overheard Declan tell his returning ""true mate,"" Kristin Larsen, that Anya was ""just a substitute."" Despite the crushing betrayal and a strange, unyielding pull, Anya, fueled by her mother's desperate need, vowed to survive this gilded cage and reclaim her life before she lost herself completely."

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."
