“Let me be your real wife for just one month, Daven.” It was a simple request—one that sounded like the last plea of a heartbroken woman. But to Althea Grayson, it was her pride. The price she asked for the love she had given, yet never once received in return. She had known from the start: their marriage was never about love. Daven Callister had married her out of duty, pressured by his grandmother. There were no tender embraces, no loving glances—only cold silence and an empty house that never felt like home. Still, Althea held on. She tried to be a good wife, clinging to the hope that one day, Daven’s heart might soften. But her hope was shattered by betrayal—Daven wanted to marry someone else. The woman he truly loved. With or without Althea’s consent. And his entire family stood behind his decision. Heartbroken and disillusioned, Althea made one final request: one month of being loved like a real wife. One month... before she walked away forever. Daven thought it was a desperate move—pathetic, even. But that single month changed everything. The way Althea smiled, the way she loved so fully. Even the way she left—left something behind that lingered in Daven’s heart. And now, Daven was lost. When the love he had never once recognized finally revealed itself... was it already too late? Or should he fight against everything—just for one more chance?

When Tara Valmont discovered her husband's betrayal, she began keeping score of everything. Most of all, the pain of realizing that everything she had believed in had been a lie. And the greatest betrayal of all came from her husband, Adrian Ashbourne. Tara was determined that everyone involved would pay the price they deserved. If necessary, she would take revenge in the most ruthless ways imaginable. Even if it meant considering the proposal from the father of the man she had believed to be her husband, Victor Ashbourne. "Do you know what position suits you best right now?" Victor asked casually in the middle of a business discussion with Tara. Tara frowned. "What is it, Dad?" "Be my wife." Victor smiled meaningfully. "What do you think?"

Ketika Tara Valmont mengetahui pengkhianatan yang suaminya lakukan, dia mulai menghitung segalanya. Terutama rasa sakit hatinya karena semua yang ia percayai, ternyata menipunya. Dan pengkhianatan paling besar bersalah dari suaminya—Adrian Ashbourne. Tara bertekad, semua orang yang terlibat harus membayar harga yang pantas. Bahkan jika perlu, Tara melakukan dengan cara-cara yang gila. Termasuk mempertimbangkan permintaan ayah dari pria yang dia anggap suaminya—Victor Ashbourne. “Kau tahu posisi yang paling pas untukmu saat ini?” Victor bertanya dengan nada santai di sela pembicaraan bisnis dengan Tara. Tara mengerutkan keningnya. “Apa itu, Dad?” “Jadi istriku.” Victor tersenyum penuh arti. “Bagaimana?”

Lorsque Tara Valmont découvrit la trahison de son mari, elle commença à tout calculer. Surtout la douleur qui lui déchirait le cœur en réalisant que tout ce en quoi elle avait cru n'était qu'un mensonge. Et la plus grande des trahisons venait de son propre mari, Adrian Ashbourne. Tara se jura que tous ceux qui avaient pris part à cette machination paieraient le prix de leurs actes. Quitte à employer les moyens les plus insensés pour se venger. Y compris envisager la proposition du père de l'homme qu'elle avait toujours considéré comme son mari, Victor Ashbourne. « Tu sais quelle est la place qui te conviendrait le mieux aujourd'hui ? » demanda Victor d'un ton détendu au beau milieu d'une discussion d'affaires avec Tara. Tara fronça les sourcils. « Laquelle, Dad ? » « Devenir ma femme. » Victor lui adressa un sourire lourd de sous-entendus. « Qu'en dis-tu ? »

“Your husband is cheating on you with my fiancée, Nora.” A single sentence from her stepbrother shattered Nora’s trust in Javier Calloway, the man who had been the only person she could rely on for the past six months after an accident robbed her of her sight. At first, Nora refused to believe it because Javier had always taken care of her, protected her, and stayed by her side. How could the man she loved most betray her? But when Nora discovered more and more evidence, her doubts became reality. And when Nora was given the chance to regain her sight, she accepted it. But she did not tell Javier. She would continue pretending to be a blind wife who knew nothing. Because this time, Nora wanted to see for herself who had been betraying her all along. And when the truth was finally revealed, would Javier still have a chance to win his wife back?

Als Tara Valmont von dem Verrat erfuhr, den ihr Ehemann begangen hatte, begann sie, alles genau zu berechnen. Vor allem den Schmerz in ihrem Herzen, weil alles, woran sie geglaubt hatte, sich als Lüge herausgestellt hatte. Und der größte Verrat kam von ihrem eigenen Ehemann – Adrian Ashbourne. Tara fasste den Entschluss, dass jeder, der darin verwickelt war, den angemessenen Preis dafür zahlen musste. Selbst wenn sie dafür zu verrückten Mitteln greifen musste, um sich an ihnen zu rächen. Sogar den Vorschlag des Vaters des Mannes in Betracht zu ziehen, den sie für ihren Ehemann hielt – Victor Ashbourne. „Weißt du, welche Position im Moment am besten zu dir passen würde?“, fragte Victor beiläufig während eines geschäftlichen Gesprächs mit Tara. Tara runzelte die Stirn. „Welche denn, Dad?“ „Meine Frau zu werden.“ Victor lächelte vielsagend. „Was meinst du?“

“I never betrayed you!” Cassandra’s voice trembled as she spoke. “Not once—not ever—” “Then whose child did you give birth to?” The Alpha, Alaric Drayden, cut in coldly, each word heavy with condemnation. The woman lying weak on the hospital bed flinched at the cruelty in his tone. “Enough. I don’t need your excuses, Cassandra.” Tears streamed down her cheeks, unstoppable. “No, my Alpha. I swear—I never betrayed you—” “I, Alaric Drayden, Alpha of the SilverFang Pack, hereby sever the bond between us. From this moment forward, no tie of fate binds us, Cassandra. I reject you as my Luna for the treachery you’ve committed.” Cassandra shook her head in disbelief, her voice breaking. “No! No! You can’t do this to me, my Alpha!” *** Betrayed by her husband.
