The cold knife twisted in my chest, a shocking contrast to the warmth of my own blood soaking through my shirt. My wife, Nicole, stood over me, her face a mess of drunken rage and tears. "It' s all your fault," she screamed, blaming me for her childhood friend Ryan' s suicide years ago – the man she truly loved. As the world faded to black, the last thing I saw was her face, twisted with a grief that had never been for me. The pain was unbearable, the betrayal absolute, yet I died knowing she never truly loved me, only the phantom of a lost love. Then, a sudden jolt, and sunlight streamed through my familiar bedroom window. My chest was whole, no blood, no pain. The date on my phone stared back: the morning of my Juilliard audition, the same day as Ryan's state championship game. I was back, given an impossible second chance to prevent my own murder. This time, the mistake wouldn' t be stopping Nicole from going to Ryan; it would be loving Nicole at all. My phone buzzed with her text, "Love you! <3", but all I felt was the chilling memory of a blade. I was going to save myself.

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.
