The dark conspiracies constantly targeting Ellie make it impossible for her to move on in this miserable marriage. Ellie cannot help but divorce. What will happen to her when everyone turns their backs on her? Will she be able to shine on her own path and make those who despised her regret?

Chapter 1 Husband's ex-fiancee returns.

Ellie woke up with a start; she rubbed her tired eyes and looked at the wall clock.

It was past ten o'clock at night.

Ellie walked into the kitchen, looked at the cold dishes on the table, and reheated each dish; her movements were skillful as if she had done it countless times. While doing so, she thought, "He's coming home late again today."

The phone rang, breaking the quiet night. Ellie stopped what she was doing and walked out to the living room. She looked at the strange number on the phone screen, frowned slightly, but still pressed the answer button.

Without waiting for her to ask, the caller spoke first, "Richard's wife, right? Come here and take him home; he's passed out drunk."

It was a girl's voice, and although she couldn't see her face, Ellie could hear her impatience through the sound.

The girl gave an address and immediately hung up, not giving Ellie a chance to refuse.

Ellie was a little suspicious; something like this had never happened before.

She and Richard got married by accident. That year, his fiancée ran away before the wedding day; he didn't want to lose face in front of everyone, so he found another girl to be the bride; Ellie was the chosen girl.

At that time, Ellie's grandmother had a traffic accident and needed urgent surgery. The cost of the surgery was an amount that a poor person like her couldn't afford. Therefore, she agreed to marry Richard.

Ellie knew this marriage was just a transaction; the two had no feelings for each other, but in her heart, she was genuinely grateful to Richard because his timely appearance brought her a ray of light.

But life was still not easy for Ellie because, in everyone's eyes, she was not worthy of Richard.

Richard Winthorpe comes from the Winthorpe family - one of the five wealthiest families in the country. Since childhood, he has shown outstanding excellence compared to all children of the same age; at the age of eleven, he was exposed to the business world; at the age of fifteen, he completed a major project and was hailed as a business genius by everyone; at the age of twenty, he was able to manage several companies skillfully, had a solid reputation in the financial world, and was a sought-after young businessman; After that, he gradually developed, bringing his name to a new height.

His identity value lies not only in his talent but also in the Winthorpe family behind him. In just a few years, he will officially inherit the family, own a fortune of hundreds of thousands of billions, and become the wealthiest billionaire in the country.

Therefore, the girl who lost her parents at the age of 6 was picked up by a poor older woman who grew up in the slums - Ellie is not worthy of him.

The two are two different worlds; one is in the sky, and the other is in the abyss.

Ellie quickly drove to the address the girl said. It was a famous four-star restaurant in the city. After telling the banquet room number, Ellie was led by the waiter.

The door opened, and inside was an ample space beautifully decorated with many balloons and flowers; the atmosphere was bustling with laughter.

Looking in the direction of the noise, Ellie immediately saw Richard being surrounded by people. They were noisy, cheering in unison: "Kiss her, kiss her, kiss her..."

At this moment, Ellie noticed that it was not only Richard who people surrounded but there was also a beautiful girl beside him.

The scene looked like a successful proposal, and the main couple was cheered by everyone to 'kiss.' Ellie would feel happy and blessed if the male character were not her husband.

It took a few seconds for Ellie to remember who the beautiful girl was. She was so surprised that she froze on the spot.

At this moment, someone in the crowd discovered Ellie standing stunned at the door and shouted: "Who are you? Why did you barge in here?"

The voice attracted everyone's attention, and they looked curiously towards Ellie.

Someone quickly recognized her and said, "Isn't this Richard's wife?"

All eyes turned towards Richard.

Richard frowned slightly; he was also surprised when Ellie appeared here; a feeling of guilt arose in his heart as if he had been caught cheating by his wife. But that feeling only appeared for a second and then disappeared because Richard did not think he was wrong; on the contrary, he felt angry because he thought Ellie was following him.

He asked in a low voice: "Why did you come here?"

The simple question carried a majestic and annoyed aura that calmed Ellie. She looked at Richard awkwardly; her panicked mind made her not know how to answer.

Everyone looked at Ellie with eyes watching a comedy; the gossip did not hide the malice aimed straight at her.

"Oh, what's going on? Richard's wife came here to fight? Does she have the right to do that?"

"How did she know Martha was back and come here? Can she compare to Martha?"

"She was afraid that Richard would return to Martha and abandon her, so she came here to cause trouble. Did she want to embarrass Martha?"

"Don't exaggerate; she is Richard's wife, after all. Aren't you afraid that Richard will be angry with us?"

"What's there to be afraid of? She's just Richard's toy. Now that Martha is back, Richard will abandon her."

"She's just Martha's substitute!"

All the gossip reached Ellie's ears, and when she saw the words on the wall behind everyone, she finally understood what was happening to her.

Martha – Richard's fiancée, who ran away 6 years ago, had returned. The people here were her and Richard's friends; they were holding a party to celebrate her return.

Ellie shouldn't have been here as a substitute, but someone deliberately played a trick on her by calling her here so that everyone would misunderstand that she wanted to disrupt the party.

This was not the first time Ellie had been trapped like this, but it was when Ellie felt the most awkward because a stuntman stood in front of the main character; it felt ridiculous.

Martha took a few steps forward, smiled gently at Ellie, and said softly: "Don't misunderstand; nothing happened between me and Richard. I came back today; he just came to congratulate me a little. Since you've come, stay and play with us."

Today, Martha was the main character, so she deliberately dressed very gorgeously, with delicate makeup, her gestures exuding the nobility of a noble lady; on the contrary, Ellie wore a loose long coat, and everyone could vaguely see that under the coat was a simple nightgown, her face was bare, her hair was messy.

Standing beside each other, the contrast was more prominent; Ellie looked more miserable.

Martha's words seemed to relieve Ellie, but in fact, it was to confirm that Ellie came here to cause trouble out of jealousy.

"No, I didn't know you were back..." Being criticized by everyone, Ellie regained her composure and blurted out an explanation; before she could finish speaking, Richard pulled her out.

The door closed, the crowd's chatter was blocked, and Richard's deep voice rang in Ellie's ears.

"You should go home!"

From the moment she arrived here, seeing Richard and Martha together, being attacked by everyone with insults, discovering that she was trapped but unable to explain, Ellie felt indignant and speechless.

At this moment, Richard showed coldness and impatience, wanting to chase her away; she knew he also believed those people's words. "Listen to me, and I didn't know you were having a party here. Someone called me..."

Once again, her explanation was interrupted by the door suddenly opening, a young man sticking his head out, urgently calling Richard: "Richard, Martha is injured."

Richard's expression immediately changed; he resolutely turned around and entered the room, leaving Ellie with a choked voice.

Looking at Richard's back until the door slammed shut, Ellie couldn't believe it; in the past 6 years, she had never seen Richard look so panicked.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

My stepmother sold me like a piece of inventory to a man known for breaking people just to plug the financial crater my father left behind. I was delivered to the Morton estate in the middle of a freezing storm, stripped of my phone, and told that if I didn't make myself useful, my senile grandfather would be evicted from his care facility by noon. The master of the house, Adonis Morton IV, was a monster living in a silent mausoleum, driven to the brink of madness by a sensory condition that turned every sound into a physical assault. When I was forced into his suite to serve him, he didn't see a human being; he saw a source of agony. In a fit of animalistic rage, he pinned me to the wall and nearly strangled me to death just for the sound of a shattering teacup. I only survived by using my grandfather’s secret herbal blends and pressure-point therapy to force his overactive nervous system into a drugged sleep. But saving him was my greatest mistake. Instead of letting me go, Adonis moved me into a guest suite connected to his own bedroom by a hidden door. He didn't just want me as a servant; he needed me as a human white-noise machine to drown out the demons in his head. The nightmare deepened when he took the promissory note that defined my freedom and tore it into confetti. By destroying the debt, he destroyed my exit strategy. He replaced my maid’s uniform with a silver silk dress that clung to my skin but did nothing to hide the dark, ugly bruises his fingers had left on my neck. He branded me as his "primary care associate," a title that was nothing more than a gilded cage. I felt a sickening sense of injustice as he forced me to sign a contract that banned me from contacting other men and required me to sleep wherever he slept. He looked at me with a possessive heat, calling me his "medication" rather than a woman. My family had sold my body, but Adonis Morton was intent on owning my very presence, using my grandfather’s medical bills as a leash to keep me within twenty feet of him at all times. Standing in a neglected greenhouse with mud staining my expensive silk, I realized I was no longer a victim waiting for rescue. If I was going to be his medication, I would learn how to be his cure—or his undoing. I began clearing the weeds with a cold, calculated frenzy, determined to turn this prison into my laboratory. He thinks he has trapped a helpless girl, but I am going to pry open the cracks in his stone walls until his entire world comes crashing down.

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.
