As a film producer, late nights editing were normal, usually accompanied by the comforting thought of my daughter, Olivia, home from her film club. But then the phone rang, and a police officer's chilling words sliced through my world: "It' s about your daughter, Olivia." She was found brutally beaten in an alley and was clinging to life, her precious vintage camera shattered beside her. At the hospital, amidst the sterile air, the true horror began as my wife, Isabella, Olivia' s own mother, calmly and chillingly framed me for the attack. My alibi crumbled under her calculated lies, leaving me exposed as the prime suspect in my own child' s assault. Later, a dashcam recording shockingly revealed Isabella conspiring with her lover, Marcus, planning my downfall and casually discussing Olivia as merely an inconvenient witness they needed to silence. They froze my accounts, obstructed Olivia's critical medical care, and eventually, Isabella lured me to an alley, intending to drug me and plant 'evidence' to seal my fate. How could the woman I loved orchestrate such a monstrous betrayal, not just against me, but against our critically injured child? Why would she meticulously plot my destruction and casually allow our daughter to be silenced after all these years? Left for dead, barely conscious, Marcus-my lifelong rival-leaned in to gloat, and as he adjusted his shirt, I saw a familiar tribal tattoo. That tattoo, seen once years ago, instantly shattered Isabella' s entire narrative, revealing Marcus as the true architect of her past 'betrayal' and a shocking, decades-long manipulation that fueled her rage. Just as all hope seemed lost, a miraculous phone call echoed: "Mr. Miller, your daughter, Olivia. She' s awake. She' s talking!"

Introduction

But then the phone rang, and a police officer's chilling words sliced through my world: "It' s about your daughter, Olivia."

She was found brutally beaten in an alley and was clinging to life, her precious vintage camera shattered beside her.

At the hospital, amidst the sterile air, the true horror began as my wife, Isabella, Olivia' s own mother, calmly and chillingly framed me for the attack.

My alibi crumbled under her calculated lies, leaving me exposed as the prime suspect in my own child' s assault.

Later, a dashcam recording shockingly revealed Isabella conspiring with her lover, Marcus, planning my downfall and casually discussing Olivia as merely an inconvenient witness they needed to silence.

They froze my accounts, obstructed Olivia's critical medical care, and eventually, Isabella lured me to an alley, intending to drug me and plant 'evidence' to seal my fate.

How could the woman I loved orchestrate such a monstrous betrayal, not just against me, but against our critically injured child?

Why would she meticulously plot my destruction and casually allow our daughter to be silenced after all these years?

Left for dead, barely conscious, Marcus-my lifelong rival-leaned in to gloat, and as he adjusted his shirt, I saw a familiar tribal tattoo.

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.

"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage. We had been married for exactly three years-three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment. For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage. Today, I finally received his message: "I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport." When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me. But his cruelty was far worse than I could have ever imagined-he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and that woman was Carla, my closest and most trusted friend. In that moment, all of my previous excitement, all my hope, and all of our shared laughter and tears turned into the sharpest of daggers, stabbing into my heart and leaving me gasping for air. Now, all I want is to escape from this place that has left me so broken-to lick my wounds in solitude. Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again. He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end-almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be. "Aurora, come back. I regret everything!" Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me-only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
