After Emma went abroad due to illness, Jeffrey fell in love with Amelia. When Emma returned home because of kidney failure, Jeffrey discovered that Amelia's kidney was a perfect match for her. To save Emma, Jeffrey orchestrated a seemingly perfect wedding that was a ruse, treating Amelia as a living donor, maintaining the illusion of love to nurture her. Amelia was once lost in the joy of feeling loved until she accidentally uncovered the truth. She was nothing more than a lifeline prepared for his beloved. With her heart broken, Amelia chose to disappear completely through a staged death. In the throes of losing her, Jeffrey still used his resources to find a new kidney donor for Emma. After her recovery, Emma's true self-centered nature was revealed. In the daily company of Emma, Jeffrey's illusions were shattered, and he realized too late that he had fallen in love with the very woman he sacrificed-Amelia. Unfortunately, it was too late. Five years later, Amelia returned triumphantly as a leading figure in her industry. Jeffrey pursued her with overwhelming joy, while Emma, driven by envy, schemed against her, ultimately breaking the law and ending up in prison. Jeffrey lost both love and fortune, left only with endless regret for the rest of his life. Meanwhile, Amelia completely bid farewell to the past, embracing a life of her own making, built on career success and genuine love.

Chapter 1

The bedroom still clung to the sticky haze of desire.

Jeffrey Moss's phone on the nightstand lit up with a message sprawled across the lock screen. "Jeffrey, Emma's pushing again. The doctor said the surgery has to happen soon. Have you... sorted out Amelia yet?"

Amelia Fuller leaned against the headboard and reached out on impulse to grab the phone. She unlocked it.

In the chat, the contact marked as Caiden Phillips turned out to be Jeffrey's buddy.

Maybe because there had been no reply for too long, the other side fired off a string of messages. "Emma can't wait any longer. Hurry up, man. Amelia hasn't gotten suspicious, right? But don't worry. I already greased the wheels at the organ transplant center. Just need you to sweet-talk her onto the operating table. Such high compatibility. It's like the universe is helping Emma."

Finally, there was a PDF file with a red mark that had been sent back and forth.

Amelia's physical exam report showed all her data matched a woman named Emma Foster at 95 percent.

The shower shut off in the bathroom. Amelia mechanically put the phone back in place and lay down.

Jeffrey emerged with the fresh scent of body wash and leaned in to wrap an arm around her out of habit.

Amelia started to pull away, but the phone rang right on cue. Jeffrey let go of her almost instantly.

A few seconds later, he bent down to plant a kiss on the top of her head and said gently, "The office has an emergency. I need to handle it. Sleep early. Don't wait up."

Amelia kept her eyes shut tight until she heard the front door click shut. Then she got up and sat at Jeffrey's computer desk.

After five years of dating, Jeffrey never took his phone into the bathroom.

Amelia had always trusted him. She never snooped, not even on his phone.

The computer had his chat app open. Naturally, he forgot to log out.

Amelia's fingers shook as she tapped the trackpad. The chat with someone named Emma stared back from the pinned spot.

The last message had gone out ten minutes earlier. "Suddenly craving that pastry from the alley behind the university district. You used to sneak over the wall to buy it for me. My chest feels stuffy now. I can't eat anything. Just thinking about that one bite."

"Stop messing around. I'll come over now. No pastry. Eat the nutrition plan the doctor set first."

The so-called emergency turned out to be another woman's craving for pastry.

Amelia felt her hands and feet plunge into ice water. Her fingers trembled as she scrolled the mouse.

She did not suspect. She masochistically hunted for proof they had once loved each other.

She searched for even the tiniest trace that could prove these five years of sincerity were not a complete joke.

The chat history stretched long with Emma's messages that alternated between coquettish whining and complaints about her illness.

Jeffrey replied with patience and indulgence Amelia had never seen. He cared about every test result and remembered her preferences down to the details.

Scattered among them were bits about Amelia herself.

"You come see me so often. Won't your girlfriend get mad? She seems pretty into you."

"Don't worry. She's easy to placate. And her kidney compatibility is so high. Once she donates it to you, everything will be fine."

Every word carved into Amelia's heart.

She lost track of how long she scrolled until she lifted a hand to her cheek and felt it soaked.

All these five years of love had been for her two kidneys that matched Emma so well.

But Jeffrey did not know, years ago, Amelia had already donated her left kidney to a uremia patient who had waited for ages.

Vivian Harrison used to be an ordinary nurse at the hospital, but she had the rare Rh-negative blood type. Three years ago, she saved the life of the king of the underworld, Archie Palmer, who had been on the brink of death, with her blood. From that moment on, she had completely fallen for him. However, when Archie awoke, he just coldly handed her a marriage contract. "I never owe anyone a favor." The marriage, in the name of repaying a favor, became a gilded cage that confined Vivian for three years. Archie made Vivian his wife, yet he gave all his tenderness and devotion to a vivacious and innocent woman-Cassie Fuller. He would drive across half the city on a stormy night just to stay with Cassie because she was afraid of the dark. He would spend a fortune at an auction to acquire a piece of priceless jewelry, because Cassie said she liked it. Yet, all he ever offered Vivian was endless indifference and suspicion. When Cassie suffered even the slightest grievance, he would unhesitatingly lay all the blame on Vivian and even torment and punish Vivian in the cruelest ways. "Your blood disgusts me as much as you do, Vivian." Later, when Vivian took a fatal bullet for him and lay bleeding on the ground, he walked coldly past her, holding the frightened Cassie in his arms, without sparing Vivian even a glance. At that moment, Vivian finally understood that this marriage was nothing but a joke from the start. She decided that she would no longer play along with Archie. But when Vivian, her body battered and broken, resolutely left Archie, and Archie, who had always claimed he never loved Vivian, for the first time felt his eyes sting, and frantically searched for her all over the world.

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.
