Seven lives and all with you Chapter 1 1

Leonardo feels distressed, his wife Emily is pregnant and very sad, not for the baby. This baby, whose sex they still don't know, was very much desired by the couple, who waited a long three years for Emily to be blessed. It happened at the right time, but it didn't happen. When they wanted it to happen.

But now that Emily has isolated herself at home, she no longer goes out for walks and thinks she is ugly and fat, while Leonardo thinks she is beautiful. In his opinion, Emily has more beautiful skin, hair, and for him, his wife hasn't gained that much weight, but after completing five months of pregnancy, she isolated herself and lives a sad life, crying in the corners. She has a distorted vision, distorted of herself, and this worries her husband, who fears that if he continues like this, his wife will become depressed.

Emily, who attended prenatal appointments, was excited and smiling, at the last appointment they went to together, she tried to wear a cape and hood, but he didn't let her say she looked beautiful.

She didn't hide, however, she wore a frown and didn't speak to Leonardo on the way there, much less on the way back.

Not knowing what to do to please his wife, Leonardo leaves the house without direction. He has just arrived home from work tired, but the atmosphere at home is not good, as he saw that his wife Emily has a frown on her face as if to accuse him of something wrong that he didn't do.

"God, if it continues like this, I won't be able to bear giving myself direction. Sir, sir, I can see that my marriage is on the rocks, and I love my wife, I don't want to separate."

Lost in his thoughts, Leonardo walks along the sidewalk and doesn't notice a cardboard box. He ends up tripping over it and angrily kicking it away.

He continues walking along the sidewalk, and when he passes the box that he has just kicked, he hears a little sound that sounds like a faint moan. He approaches the box and looks inside, a striped kitten.

Leonardo feels bad about kicking the box away, he worries about his sad wife and ends up taking out his concern on a box on the street in which there is an innocent being, and he didn't know.

The poor kitten is approximately forty-five days old.

Leonardo picks him up carefully and finds himself wondering who would commit such a great evil while being so defenseless.

He carefully supports the kitten in his arm and decides to take it home, but first he stops by the clinic of a friend who is a veterinarian to find out how he should guide his wife to treat such a tiny being that needs love, care and attention.

"Leonardo, my friend, how long will good winds bring you?"

"Ah, Igor, this kitten that is resting on my arm is the wind that directed me here; I found him on the street. I feel guilty because, due to personal problems, I ended up taking out my concern on the box he was in, and I kicked it away, I didn't know he was inside."

"Don't blame yourself, my friend, you made up for your mistake by bringing him here. Do you intend to keep him?"

"Yes, I'm going to take him home, who knows, maybe his presence will bring joy to my wife, who is sad and has isolated herself from the world."

Igor notices the anguish on his friend's face, and like a good friend, he asks if Leonardo wants to share what is happening.

Seeking relief from the weight he carries on his back, he talks about what he has been going through since his wife got pregnant and her belly started to appear.

"I have done everything to please you, but my efforts have been useless, Igor."

"I feel like my marriage is on the rocks, and I don't want to separate. Even though I'm facing this complicated situation, I love Emily."

Igor examines the kitten and confirms that it is in perfect health, despite the "accident" it suffered when Leonardo kicked the box it was in away.

"The cat is my last hope, Igor, if it doesn't work out, I'll separate from Emily."

"Friend, your wife needs understanding. I think the brindle kitten will help. Yes, maybe because you work all day she feels alone, and an empty head is the devil's workshop."

Leonardo heard this saying a lot from his father, a retired army soldier, especially when he didn't want to study to watch television and his father wouldn't let him.

"Go study, Leonardo, an empty head is the devil's workshop," remembers Leonardo.

Igor tucks the kitten into a small medicine box and gives it to Leonardo with the vaccination card and a recipe for milk suitable for cats.

"Whoever abandoned this kitten, separated it from its mother, and left it to die-cats normally wean their kittens after three months."

"I don't accept so much cruelty, Igor, but this kitten will find love in Emily's care."

The friends say goodbye, and Leonardo returns home excited. When he enters he calls Emily, who leaves her refuge with her eyes swollen from crying.

"Leonardo, I thought you left me."

"Don't be silly, Emily; I love you."

"Even though I'm fat and ugly?"

"You're not ugly, Emily is beautiful to the fullest.

Emily was about to antagonize Leonardo when she noticed the small box in his hands.

"What is this, Leo? What's in that box."

"Oh, it's a long story, Emily."

Leonardo tells his wife the story and she gets angry with him:

"How can Leonardo kick a box away, you tyrant?"

"Love, I thought I was empty, I'm not to blame for the cruelty of others."

Leonardo delivers the small box with the kitten to his wife, who is delighted to see the beautiful striped kitten.

"I brought him because you're sad, but you have me, love, he doesn't have anyone, but if you don't want him, I'll take him to the veterinary clinic and leave him with Igor."

"Don't even think about it, Leo, I'm going to take care of him and give him love, and this kitten will be my companion, maybe my confidant."

Emily takes the kitten out of the box and caresses it, and without thinking twice, she names it Xano.

Leonardo realizes that his strategy of bringing a cat to cheer up his wife will work.

Xano feels loving hands stroking his fur and thinks with his little puppy head:

"This human is very affectionate; they separated me from my mother early, but I'm not helpless; I'm in the warm lap of a loving human."

"Leonardo, let's get in the car; let's buy some milk for the kitten; he'll be hungry soon and the milk prescribed by the vet should be here at home."

Emily puts the kitten on the sofa and wipes away the tears that insist on falling from her eyes-more of those of happiness.

She approaches Leonardo and kisses him passionately.

"Thank you, Leonardo, for bringing me Xano love, now I won't feel alone.

Leonardo remembers Igor's words:

"Empty heads work the devil"

What his wife felt was loneliness, and because of this loneliness, she acquired a distorted image of, yes, herself.

Together, they go out to buy everything Xano needs.

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.
