Today was the wedding day of the famous model Fiona and the billionaire Joseph. However, Joseph, driven by his secret love for another woman, Daphne, stood Fiona up at the altar. This left Fiona utterly embarrassed in front of the media and celebrities, and she became disheartened, vowing never to love again. In the past, Daphne had caused Fiona to have a miscarriage, and now her fiance had called off the wedding because of Daphne. Fiona made the decision to leave her modeling career behind and become an agent, determined to rebuild her life and focus on her career. Many years later, when Fiona was responsible for negotiating an endorsement deal for a jewelry brand owned by Joseph's family with one of her artists, she had to face her former fiance who had once betrayed her. Joseph deeply regretted his actions from years ago and was willing to do anything to win back Fiona. However, Fiona told him, "I no longer love you." At the same time, Joseph realized that during his absence in the past few years, many of his wealthy friends who had previously looked down on Fiona had fallen in love with her, and he now had many competitors standing in front of him.

Chapter 1 Joseph did not show up

On the weekend, Carmen Vacation Bay had a clear blue sky and the sea was crystal clear under the sunshine. Not far from the bay, the hotel looked magnificent under the blue sky and white clouds.

  All hotel staff were busy as a grand wedding was about to take place here.

  The luxurious 15,000 square foot banquet hall in the hotel is decorated with white balloons and ribbons, and two swans made of white roses over six meters high were placed in the venue.

  The floor was covered with petals, leading directly from the French windows of the banquet hall to the surrounding terrace. A rainbow-like church was built with colorful glass, overlooking the sea, and surrounded by flowers, just like a scene in a dream.

  For this wedding, there were dozens of media outlets coming to interview; they defined this wedding as "a wedding of a princess and a prince".

  The groom was Joseph from the local Thomas Group. He came from a prominent family and had extraordinary looks, truly the prince charming in the hearts of many. However, as for the bride, the media thought that the term "Cinderella" might be more suitable for her.

  Despite coming from an humble background, she stood out in the "New York Angel" modeling competition at the age of 18, and thus embarked on a modeling career. Later on, she achieved excellent results in the World Elite Model Contest, paving the way for more appearances in international fashion shows and advertisements for major brands.

  The bride Fiona, reportedly, just turned 21 three months ago.

  At such an age when many people's struggles had just begun, she had already reached an unreachable endpoint, whether in love or career.

  It really made people jealous.

  But media outlets were always happy to see news topics like Cinderella that could bring huge click-through rates, so they had sent people to conduct interviews.

  At the end of the venue filled with flowers, the bride stood quietly there, allowing everyone to take photos.

  She wore a wedding dress that was absolutely enough to fulfill every girl's fantasy: delicate lace edging, embedded with countless small diamonds on the skirt, a huge skirt and a long white veil. Extremely eye-catching and dreamy appearance, making people can't help but marvel.

  Fiona wore a white veil on her head, her beautiful face hidden behind the wedding dress, politely and gracefully smiling at the clicking and intermittent shutter sound.

  The reporters took dozens of photos in a row before realizing that the groom seemed to be missing.

  Someone couldn't help but look at their watch, wondering how the groom could be late for his own wedding.

  Time passed slowly, gradually approaching noon.

  Fiona's smiling face gradually began to reveal panic.

  Her gaze occasionally turned towards the entrance of the wedding venue, waiting for her future husband.

  However, Joseph did not show up. Instead, his best man handed her a phone.

  Was it the groom calling?

  The crowd watched as Fiona walked to the backstage to answer the phone. They could tell from her relieved expression that they knew who was calling. However, they were surprised to see Fiona's expression gradually become serious, even frowning. Finally, she almost gritted her teeth and cursed before hanging up the phone angrily.

  After returning from the phone call, Fiona stood directly in the center of the stage. She tightly held the microphone with both hands, looked at the guests below, almost struggling to force out a smile, took a deep breath, and then spoke: "I just received a call. The groom of this wedding - my fiancé Joseph, cannot come due to some unforeseen circumstances. Therefore, I am here to announce on behalf of him and myself - this wedding is cancelled! Thank you all for coming from afar, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused by the sudden cancellation."

  As soon as Fiona finished speaking, the guests below erupted into a commotion.

  The media and reporters were all in a frenzy, holding their cameras and continuously taking photos, while throwing out a series of questions, "When will the wedding be rescheduled to? Why isn't the groom coming? And why isn't there a clear reason given? Will the wedding still be held in the future?"

  It seemed that a big news had been picked up, and everyone was working hard to dig out tomorrow's search headlines.

  Their aggressive questioning showed no concern for Fiona's feelings on stage. Even though she was on the verge of breaking down, she turned her eyes straight to the ceiling of the hotel ballroom, her mouth exaggeratedly upturned, trying her best to smile, as if a single misstep would cause tears to fall.

  The helpless Fiona was ultimately captured in a photograph and posted on various media platforms.

  Later, Fiona also saved one picture herself.

  Every time she saw her awkward self in that photo, she couldn't help but feel that she was still too young at the time: having walked so many runways, experienced so many scenes, she still couldn't calmly face a wedding where she was stood up.

  It was simply a stain on life.

  Although all of this gradually faded out of the public eye as she later became a broker, this matter was also gradually forgotten by people.

  But Fiona herself couldn't forget. If memories could be erased, she would like to erase this part.

  Fiona drove and looked at the restaurant getting closer on the navigation, thinking self-deprecatingly in her heart.

  At this moment, Annabelle beside her suddenly asked anxiously, "Fiona, what kind of person is Joseph. You've been in the industry for a long time, you should have had contact with him, is he easy to get along with?"

  When Annabelle asked this, she took out a makeup mirror and observed her own makeup in the mirror. Fiona couldn't help but pat her shoulder, "Don't be nervous, it's just an endorsement advertisement."

  It was just an endorsement advertisement for a luxury jewelry brand under the Thomas Group.

  The brand only collaborated with top Hollywood celebrities before. This time it inexplicably chose Annabelle, who could only be considered a second-tier star.

  The reason for this was said to be personally designated by Joseph.

Isabella Anderson's life was turned upside down by a single sentence from her doctor: "Miss Isabella Anderson, you are pregnant." The shocking news left her utterly bewildered. Despite being nineteen, she had never been intimate with any man. Even more incredible was that the lab results showed she was already four months pregnant. The doctor informed her that due to her physical condition, she couldn't undergo an abortion and would have to carry the baby to term. Returning home, Isabella's father, Lucas Anderson, was furious. Rumors spread rapidly, and everyone began mocking her. Speculation arose that the Mitchell family, her fiancé's family, would undoubtedly call off the engagement. As everyone awaited the Mitchell family's response, her fiancé, Dylan Mitchell, unexpectedly appeared at the Anderson household. Seeing Isabella's swollen belly and her unattractive appearance, Dylan angrily declared that although he loathed Isabella, he wouldn't call off the engagement if the baby could be given away after birth. Isabella, moving from confusion to reluctant acceptance of reality, had already developed feelings for her child after feeling its heartbeat. She firmly refused to give up the baby or allow the engagement to be called off. At that moment, her baby decided to come early, and she went into labor amid the chaos. **Five Years Later** "Mommy, wake up, the plane is taxiing!" Isabella was awakened by her daughter Amelia's voice as they returned from abroad. Over the past five years, Isabella was no longer the overweight and unattractive girl she once was. She had become slim, exuding an exceptional charm, and now stood out as a stunning beauty. She informed Amelia that their return was primarily to handle the annulment of her engagement with the Mitchell family, but her most important mission was to find her other child, who had been taken away by force. Just after stepping off the plane, Isabella received a call informing her that Asher Perez, the head of the most powerful family, was gathering information about her worldwide. Isabella had a secret identity: she was the world's top surgeon, and Asher wanted to find her to cure his family member's illness. However, Isabella was not concerned about this; her priority was to find her son and avoid getting entangled in the affairs of powerful families. As she left the airport, Isabella unexpectedly ran into her former fiancé, Dylan. Dylan did not recognize the slimmed-down Isabella and flirtatiously approached her. Isabella gave him a cold glance and walked away with Amelia. Upon returning to her home country, Isabella checked into a luxurious hotel owned by the Perez Group. Unexpectedly, she encountered a little boy, Charles Perez, and mistook him for her daughter. It turned out that Charles was Asher Perez's son. Seeing their interaction, Asher mistakenly believed Isabella was trying to use Charles to get close to him. Their meeting was disastrous, and at this point, Asher had no idea that the beautiful woman was the top surgeon he had been desperately searching for.

In her past life, Olivia Smith was forced into mate with Aiden Brown, the illegitimate son of the Brown Wolfpack Alpha and his mistress. Yet Aiden's heart belonged to his fated mate and childhood sweetheart, Mia. No matter how much Olivia sacrificed, Aiden never returned her affection. Her unwavering loyalty was met with betrayal, humiliation, and ultimately death from her husband and son. But fate had other plans. Olivia was given a second chance, waking up at the beginning of her disastrous marriage. This time, she vowed to change everything. She wouldn't play the victim again. Revenge would be her weapon. But apart from Aiden and Mia, standing in her way was Aria Smith, her half-sister. Aria had been jealous of Olivia's medical skill and beaty since childhood. She tried everything she could to hurt Olivia. Once Aria saved Alexander Clark, the future Alpha of Clark Wolfpack-the most powerful pack on the continent. To repay her, Alexander promised Aria he would take her as his chosen mate though his wolf had no feeling for her. In her previous life, Aria married Alexander and used her new status to torment Olivia. Now reborn, Olivia swore to stop Aria from becoming Alexander's chosen mate. At first, Alexander saw Olivia as nothing more than a passing distraction. His wolf reacted uncontrollably in her presence, burning with a desire he couldn't understand. Yet, to Alexander, Olivia was simply a plaything-a beautiful toy to satisfy his urges. His teasing and indifference pushed Olivia to keep her distance. But as their paths crossed again and again, Alexander found himself drawn to Olivia's quiet strength and intelligence. What began as lust turned into something far more dangerous-an obsession. Alexander showered Olivia with lavish gifts, from gold bars to personal guards, as he tried to inch closer to her. In a twist of fate, Olivia's medical skills saved William, the younger brother of Clark Wolfpack Luna, William. William was Alexander's uncle and also his best friend. After that, Olivia earned her the respect of the Clark Wolfpack and William's heart. Luna Isabella, Alexander's mother, took Olivia in as her adopted daughter, further solidifying Olivia's standing within the city. Slowly but surely, Alexander's feelings began to shift. His teasing turned protective, and his gaze lingered longer than it should. No one, not even Aria, was allowed to lay a finger on Olivia. But as his devotion grew, so did his doubts. Could it really have been Aria who saved him? Or had she stolen Olivia's credit? After all, Olivia's wolf inherited the Smith Wolfpack's medical abilities-Aria didn't even know how basic medical knowledge. Still, Olivia remembered the pain of her past life. To her, Alexander's affection felt more like possession-a new kind of prison. But Olivia wasn't naïve. She knew Alexander was a powerful piece on the chessboard of revenge. To take down Aiden, Mia, and Aria, she needed him. As Olivia and Alexander's lives became more entangled, their relationship teetered on a razor's edge-caught between passion and power, hatred and longing. When the truth about Olivia's role in saving Alexander finally begins to surface, the question remains-how will Olivia face his love? And with William's growing affection for her, will she find herself trapped between two powerful men, each vying for her heart and loyalty? In this gripping tale of love, revenge, and redemption, Olivia and Alexander's fates intertwine beneath the moonlight, where every secret revealed brings them closer to the edge.

Mason is the Alpha heir of a wealthy wolfpack, while Suri is a humble Omega. They met in junior high school, with Mason initially approaching Suri out of curiosity, progressing from bullying to being attracted to her. They fell for each other in their naive years, but due to their inexperienced emotions, Mason couldn't accept that he had feelings for a lowly Omega. He chose to flee, leading to Suri becoming disabled, infertile, and eventually dropping out of school. Over a decade later, a chance encounter reunited them. Mason, unwilling to miss the opportunity, resorted to force to pursue Suri. After experiencing some sweet moments together, Suri discovered Mason's deceitful behavior and decisively left him. However, Mason refused to let go of the relationship, resorting to coercion to be with Suri. Eventually, Suri escaped, and Mason, realizing his mistakes, attempted to win her back, only to find that he could no longer earn Suri's love. ***** Mason grabbed her chin and spoke harshly, "Suri, what's wrong with you? We've been arguing about this trivial matter for a whole month. What's wrong with me getting married? Did I chase you away? I told you that we'll be the same as before. Just be with me and I'll treat you well. Why do you have to make such a fuss about this? I'm the Alpha of my wolfpack and I'll have to get married sooner or later. Can you give birth to a son for me? You're just an Omega who lost fertility. Apart from me, who else would want you?"   Suri's eyes turned red. She thought to herself, "I truly love you. If you want to marry someone else, do you expect me to just act like everything is okay and continue to be with you?"   With tears in her eyes, she asked, "Can I also get married then?"   Mason was taken aback and then exploded, "Nonsense! If you dare think about it, I'll break your legs first!"   Suri choked up and said, "You can get married, but I can't. Why?"   Mason was momentarily speechless.   "What did I mean to you? You treat me like a slave. Mason, you don't have genuine feelings for me. Don't force me. I don't want to see you again."   Suri looked at the face she had once loved so much and felt heartbroken. She couldn't help but think about how everything began back then.
