Bernice Stephen used to have the most perfect life, or at least she thought she did. That all came to a screeching halt when she discovered her husband, Fed, was having an affair with her sister, Melissa. After her parents went bankrupt, Fed forced her to sign the divorce papers. After this, Fed and Melissa arranged Bernice's death together. Apparently, the hand of fate had its way. Bernice was taken back to the day Melissa meddled into her marriage a year ago. This time, Bernice was determined to leave her rotten marriage. But before she can, she must avoid the layers of traps set by Melissa and Fed. What's even more shocking was that her plan for revenge led her to an even more dangerous, charismatic and mysterious wealthy man, Christian Miller. Her brother-in-law seemed ready to be her ally, and more...

Chapter 1 Betrayal

Bernice

"What the hell are you doing?!" My voice trembled with a mix of shock and fury as I stared at the scene before me.

There was Fed, my husband, bare-chested, passionately locked in a kiss with a woman. The woman was Melissa, my own sister, wearing my nightgown, in my bed.

"Bernie, weren't you supposed to be at the hospital?" Fed's voice was not his usual composed tone, and it was tinged with the huskiness that comes after sex. He looked at me, then at Melissa, his eyes darting between us as if searching for the right lie to smooth things over.

Melissa, on the other hand, seemed eerily composed, her long hair splayed across her shoulders, a smug smile playing on her lips. It was as if she had orchestrated this entire scene to torment me.

"Bernice, my dear sister, you're back," she cooed, rising from the bed and adjusting the white silk nightgown of mine as if it were her own. "I came in such a hurry that I forgot to pack. I hope you don't mind me borrowing your clothes."

My rage boiled over, a fiery inferno igniting in my chest. My hand instinctively shot toward Melissa, fingers itching to tear that stolen nightgown from her body.

But as soon as I just made contact with the fabric, Melissa suddenly crumpled to the floor, clutching her stomach and letting out a theatrical moan.

"Help me, Fed! Our baby!" she cried, her voice a perfect blend of fear and desperation.

Before I could even grasp what was happening, Fed pushed me aside with a force that caught me completely off guard.

He tenderly cradled Melissa in his arms and glared at me, his voice laced with anger. "How could you be so heartless to a pregnant woman, Bernice? If anything happens to Melissa or the baby, I swear I won't let you get away with it!"

She's pregnant?!

I recoiled a step, trembling, as I stared in utter disbelief at the two people embracing before me. I didn't expect that I would suffer a deeper betrayal.

Melissa, now nestled in Fed's embrace, continued her act of innocence. "Fed, it's okay. I feel better now. Please forgive Bernice. She didn't mean it."

But her words only served to fuel my rage. I erupted, "I am your wife, Fed. How could you do this to me? !"

"Enough! " Fed took out a document from the bedside drawer and tossed it at my feet. "Bernice, I've wanted to divorce you for a long time. I just didn't want to upset your father while he's been ill. But today, you've shown your true colors. You tried to kill my child, and I won't stand for it any longer."

I picked up the document with a trembling hand, my eyes scanning the divorce agreement, each word a dagger to my heart. I looked up at Fed, my eyes brimming with disbelief. "Why, Fed?"

"Because I've never loved you, Bernice," he sneered, his fingers digging into my cheeks, forcing me to meet his gaze. "I only married you for your family's connections, for the power and influence that came with it. But now that the Stephen Family is ruined, I'm free from the shackles of this miserable marriage."

I stood there, in the home we had shared, feeling as if I were trapped in a surreal nightmare. Fed's words cut me deeper than any physical wound. I had thought our marriage was built on love, that even without passion, there was respect and understanding. But now, I realize how utterly deceived I had been.

"How could you?" My voice was barely a whisper, my lips trembling. "All these years, all the memories... Did they mean nothing to you?"

Fed released my cheeks, his eyes cold and cruel. "Memories? You think I care about those? You were a means to an end, Bernice. And now that the end has come, you're nothing more than a burden. Sign the agreement, or don't expect to see a penny for your father's medical bills."

I signed my name with a heavy heart, the document damp with my tears. The terms were anything but fair. Fed was awarded the bulk of our assets, as if he'd forgotten that it was our marriage and my father's support that had elevated him to where he was. But I had no choice. Dad was still in a coma, and I couldn't afford the legal fees to fight back.

I was unceremoniously ushered out of the home I had once considered my own. The rain began to pour as I stepped out onto the road, the sky weeping in sync with my own tears.

"Bernice, wait!" Melissa's voice cut through the rain, her figure approaching under the shelter of an elegant umbrella.

"What do you want, Melissa?" I asked, my tone was as cold as the raindrops that clung to my skin.

Melissa halted before me, her gaze sweeping over my body with a victorious smirk playing on her lips. "Nothing," she drawled, "I just wanted to say goodbye and... admire how miserable you look. How does it feel to lose everything, Miss Stephen?"

Her words were like a knife to my already wounded heart. I looked at her, searching for any trace of the sister I had once known. "Why are you doing this, Melissa? You should be my sister."

"Don't call me sister!" Melissa's voice rose abruptly, her eyes devoid of any guilt, filled with nothing but deep-seated hatred. "Your Stephen family is nothing but liars and frauds! You deserve everything you're getting!"

The madness and venom in her words shocked me. "Melissa, what are you saying? We took you in, treated you like family..."

"Shut up!" she interrupted me, her voice filled with loathing. "You know what? Fed and I were together long before you two got married! It's only because you were the heir of the Stephen Corporation, and I was just an adopted daughter with nothing, that he had to leave me. Now, I'm just taking back what's rightfully mine! And you, go to hell with the Stephens!"

Her words hit me like a punch to the gut, and I struggled to process what I was hearing. How could this be? Fed had never mentioned a relationship with my sister when he'd courted me.

"You must be mistaken, Melissa... This can't be true..." My mind was reeling, my lips trembling as I reached for Melissa's sleeve, desperate for answers, but she pushed me away with a vicious force, sending me tumbling into the middle of the rain-soaked road.

The impact jarred my bones, and before I could even register the pain, a monstrous truck suddenly came roaring out. It came at me with terrifying speed, and I could do nothing but watch in horror as my life flashed before my eyes.

The truck hit me with the force of a hurricane, hurling me through the air. I felt my body break as I soared meters away, landing with a sickening thud on the cold, unforgiving ground.

Tires squealed and the truck disappeared as quickly as it had appeared, leaving a trail of smoke and the acrid stench of burning rubber.

The world spun around me, and I gasped for air, each breath a searing agony.

Across the street, the dim streetlight outlined Melissa's silhouette. She did nothing but stand there and watch me struggle in a pool of blood. I saw a malicious glee in her eyes, and she silently mouthed the words,

"Goodbye, Bernice."

Chapter 2 Reborn
Bernice "Bernie, wake up!" Someone was vigorously shaking me, and I struggled to pry my eyes open. My hair, damp with sweat, clung to my cheeks, and the yellow light from the ceiling overhead was jarring to my senses. Where was I? "Damn it, I thought you'd passed out! You scared the hell out of me!" A familiar face loomed into view. Cathy?! I sat up abruptly, the scent of perfume in the air a stark contrast to the acrid smell of blood I had half-expected. "What? But... didn't I die?" I muttered, confusion clouding my features. "Are you kidding?" Cathy laughed, "You're just sleepy! Now get up and get out of here before everyone starts wondering where you are!" Without another word, she pulled me up and pushed me out of the lounge. I stepped out of the lounge, the scene of the banquet hall spinning before my eyes. The ornate chandeliers, the flickering candlelight, and the guests in their finery – it all seemed so real, yet unreal. I stood there, bewildered, unsure of what

Chapter 3 Truth
Bernice As I turned around, the figure of Fed came into view. He stood there, his tall and imposing frame casting a shadow under the lights. His features, usually handsome and chiseled, were etched with severity. His lips were pressed into a hard line, betraying his displeasure. His eyes, those deep blue pools I once adored, were as cold as frost, devoid of any warmth. At the sight of Fed, Melissa quickly masked her malevolence with a visage of distress. Tears streamed down her face, each one a perfect droplet of manipulation. "Fed, I'm so sorry," she whimpered, her voice trembling. "I didn't mean to... to ruin Bernice's dress. I was only trying to help, but I didn't expect her to react like this." Fed's gaze shifted from Melissa's disheveled appearance to me, his scrutinizing look causing a suffocating sensation. He was a man accustomed to control, and any deviation from his expectations would sour his mood. "Bernice, what have you done?" he asked, his voice calm but laced

Chapter 4 Freedom
Bernice "Hell yeah, this is fantastic!" Cathy whooped, her voice carrying over the club's din. "I've been telling you for ages that you should end that crap-tastic marriage." "Cathy, shh," I lowered my voice, "but not just yet. There are things I need to take care of first. I need to make a detailed plan." I hadn't yet uncovered the truth behind the Stephen family's bankruptcy in my past life. Although I was certain it was connected to Melissa and Fed, I had to keep a close eye on them until I had proof. "Of course! And you're going to take every penny that's rightfully yours!" Cathy was almost shouting now, her excitement palpable. "To celebrate Bernie's freedom, drinks are on me!" Her voice rose above the din of the club, and a cheer went up from the crowd. I looked at her, a warm feeling spreading through my chest. That was Cathy - her signature smile and dramatic tone. How had I ever let our friendship slip away in my past life? Clinking glasses with Cathy, then another

Chapter 5 Storm
Bernice I raised an eyebrow, surprised to see him here after our heated argument. Usually he'd disappear for days after we fight, leaving me alone until I'd come crawling back to apologize. But here he was, waiting for me. "Out with Cathy, just having a few drinks." I shrugged, trying to sound nonchalant. Fed stood up, his expression darkening. "It's late and you come home stinking of alcohol? Don't you know you're a married woman?" I couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, the memory of countless nights waiting for him to come home from 'work' or 'business dinners' flashing before my eyes. "How long did you wait tonight, Fed? An hour? Two?" I threw his own words back at him, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "I've waited for you for years, and you're never home on time. Didn't you remember you were married?" Fed looked taken aback, as if he wasn't used to being challenged. "That's not the point, Bernice. You're a member of the Miller family now. Your actions reflect on u

Chapter 6 Variable
Bernice "Your father just mentioned today, out of the blue, that he's back in New York. He even had the maid reorganize his room." Elina said. "That scumbag is probably here to fight for control of Miller Corporation, trying to play on Dad's sympathies. That snake." Fed started ranting, his anxiety palpable. I hadn't quite put together the puzzle of their enigmatic conversation. But I suspected it had something to do with Fed's half-elderly brother. It was said that he had left the Miller family since high school and set out to build his own commercial empire. In my past life, I had never laid eyes on Fed's elder brother. His return this time around is sure to bring about considerable uncertainty for the future. I needed to be prepared for whatever might come. As Elina began to complain incessantly to her son, I quietly rose to my feet; there was no need to listen to this conversation any longer. "Wait, Bernice, did you hear what I said?" Elina called out to me abruptly, "Y

Chapter 7 Quake
Bernice Christian looked different from the version from that night, more...intimidating. With the black suit and dark gray shirt he's wearing today, he exudes an aura of taller, darker danger. But none of that matters. What's important is that what happened at the strip club last week should fade into the memories of everyone involved. Not become some kind of lurking threat. He glanced toward me. I immediately held my breath, and then he gave a faint smile. Not one of those polite, distant smiles. He acted as if we knew each other. Hell, no. He recognized me. And he acted like an asshole. What did he mean? Elina suddenly came up next to me, "Come with me." Her face was somber. And I quickly figured out why. Fed was pouring himself glass after glass of brandy. He looked like his self-esteem had been damaged by his father. "Son, your father wouldn't like you sitting at the dinner table drunk." Elina snatched the glass out of Fed's hand. Fed stood up unhappily, "He wo

Chapter 8 Secret
Bernice I almost jumped. "You look scared of me," Christian Miller's sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing the lean strength of his forearms. His lips, so beautifully shaped, had curled into a smile that didn't reach his steel-gray eyes, which seemed to see right through me. "No," I'd replied, my voice steady despite the tremor in my heart, "of course not. I'm just preoccupied with disposing of this... medical waste." His smile had widened, a cat to my mouse, as he'd closed the distance between us. "I'm quite certain the maid is more than capable of handling such tasks," he'd murmured, his breath warm against my cheek. A shiver of unease had run down my spine. I'd forced a laugh as I'd taken a step back, desperately trying to put some distance between us. "You're right. How could I have overlooked that? I should return to the dinner table." As I'd tried to get past him, Christian's hand had taken mine, his grip tight and unyielding. He'd pulled me toward him, our

Chapter 9 Game
Christian As I entered Aaron's study, the rich scent of leather and aged wood enveloped me, a familiar yet unsettling aroma that transported me back to countless childhood moments spent in this very room. Aaron sat behind his sprawling mahogany desk, his expression an inscrutable mask as he motioned for me to take a seat across from him. I settled into the plush leather chair, my posture straight and unyielding, a silent declaration of my resolve. The air between us crackled with tension, the weight of unspoken agendas and long-buried resentments hanging heavy in the space. "Christian, my son," Aaron began, his tone deliberate and measured, each word carefully chosen for maximum impact. "Your return as CEO of Miller Corporation is a momentous occasion. But to secure the company's future, I need you to liquidate all your assets and invest the proceeds into the business." I met his gaze head-on, my own eyes unwavering. "I agreed to lead the company, but I won't compromise my fi

Chapter 10 Plan
Bernice Lying in bed, I pondered my plans. Becoming the Executive Assistant to the CEO of the Miller Organization meant that I would have direct access or involvement in the company's high-level decisions and sensitive information. However, Christian Miller is an enigmatic man; although he proposed a so-called "collaboration," I couldn't be sure how much authority he would grant me or if he truly trusted me. Not to mention I still had to deal with Fed, who was orchestrating everything behind the scenes. I jumped out of bed and turned on my computer. I typed Christian's name in the search bar. Not much information came up, showing that he was very protective of his personal information. However, I did get one lead; Christian Miller at an honorary lecture at Harvard Business School. I clicked on the link and couldn't help but laugh; the iconic Christian Miller. He was dressed in a gray-blue designer suit, a crisp white shirt-obviously both masterfully tailored-and more dazzling
