ログインNeriah's perfect life was a lie. Her husband's loyalty was a facade, shattered when she discovers his illicit affair with her own sister. The ultimate betrayal: her sister just gave birth to her husband’s child, a replica of the man she loved. But that was only the beginning. A brutal accident nearly claims her life, and in the depths of her recovery, her husband's true intentions are revealed - a press conference announcing her death, a twisted attempt to erase her existence. Consumed by a thirst for vengeance, Neriah finds an unlikely ally in Denver, her husband's sworn enemy and half-brother. A proposal is made: a contract marriage, a union of convenience, with one rule - DO NOT FALL IN LOVE. . As the stakes rise, Neriah and Denver dance to the tune of vengeance, but they must confront the ultimate question: Will their hunger for revenge consume them, or will they succumb to the one thing they cannot afford— Love?
もっと見るDENVER'S POVThe world has stopped making sense since the day the bomb went off. That moment Ethan disappeared into that wall of fire for the woman I love. Neriah had collapsed into my arms that day, her body seizing with pain and fear and shock until she went into a forced labor. So much has happened in the past six months; Liam was sentenced to life imprisonment due to all the murders on his hands, Laura was sentenced to thirty five years for attempted murder and conspiracy and my Neriah slipped into a coma right after the emergency C-section that had to be carried out on her. I haven't even been to work in the past one month. After Ethan's funeral which held last month because of Neriah's situation, I took some of my important belongings and returned to Atlanta so I could be close to Neriah and my baby. My lips curl as I turn my mind's eye to his plump, suckling lips. He was placed in the incubator for three whole months after the
NERIAH’S POVThe second Denver opens the car door, a whimper claws its way out of my throat.My whole body trembles violently, desperate, broken gasps slipping out of me as if my body is fighting against itself just to stay conscious.I can’t believe Laura did this to me. She strapped me to a real bomb with a fucking timer counting down to the end of my life. She truly meant to kill me and my baby in the most horrific way imaginable.Denver’s face swims into view, but he’s not as the man I've known. All the strength, fire, and all his impossible fury seems to be gone as soon as he sets eyes on the bomb. He collapses in front of me, demoralized, his eyes wide with this hollow, tortured disbelief as he stares at the bomb strapped to my torso.“Denver…” I try to speak but the gag muffles my voice. Tears slips down the sides of my face as he cups my face with his. I can see him struggling to keep his hands away from me, just so he doesn't tri
DENVER'S POV It's exactly two hours ten minutes to twelve hours. After speaking with Laura to assure her that I've met her demands, I called the sheriff. His voice still echoes in my head as I step out of the house, sliding my jacket on with trembling hands. My hands won't stay steady no matter how steady I try to force them."You'll drive there alone as she requested," he'd began, "Then you hand the car and cash over and let her leave without any suspicions. She’ll take the bait. We'll have the chopper ready to follow immediately after the exchange. The ground units will move in once she tries to drive out of Atlanta, she'll be completely boxed in."I just hope everything goes as smoothly as the sheriff is promising or else I'd tear Laura's head from her neck myself. Today I'll do whatever it takes to save my wife and baby. Ethan walks in at that exact moment, Eden in tow. The girl had barely had any rest and Ethan kept asking to take
LAURA'S POV Suddenly I’m twelve again, cross-legged on the living room floor, tearing open snack packs like a greedy little monster while she begged me to at least try to stay awake through arithmetic.God, I was terrible. And she was worse for allowing it.She'd always been like that...weak. Allowing herself to be a pushover just so I could get whatever I wanted. I can't believe she fucking wanted to help me after she released that video. What sane person exposes their enemy and then attempts to help them escape afterwards?A dry laugh escapes me before I can stop it. I remember the exact expression on her face the day I’d finally cajoled her into giving me her biscuits, juice boxes, those stupid little gummy worms she loved. I’d threatened not to read a single page of the literature text unless she promised a daily supply and she did it for eight. whole. months.I can still feel the triumph burning in my chest when she agreed. I can st
