“I was bleeding out in the delivery room, begging my husband to save me. Instead, Preston coldly refused the emergency procedure, watching my heart monitor like a stock ticker. My half-sister Sienna strolled in, wearing Chanel and a triumphant smirk, wrapping her arm around him. They had planned this all along to steal my family's company. "Did you really think he loved you?" Sienna whispered, leaning over my dying body to deliver the final blow. "The baby isn't even his. You've been raising another man's child." The betrayal crushed the last breath out of me, and the monitor flatlined into a piercing tone. I died right there, a stepping stone for the monsters I called family. But a mysterious, powerful man named Nox ordered the doctors to revive me with an experimental drug. Three years later, I returned to New York, completely transformed. Preston and Sienna, now facing corporate ruin, were desperately begging for an audience with the elusive Dr. Jocelyn to save their business. They had no idea that I was the doctor's gatekeeper. When they heard my voice denying their request, their faces drained of color. But ruining them was just the beginning. When the ruthless billionaire Damien Sinclair tried to kidnap me, I escaped and accidentally took his son, mistaking the boy for my own missing child. I swore I would take everything from the people who wronged me, and now, the real game had just begun.”
