LOGINMelinda gave up everything for the man she loved—only to be stabbed in the back by the two people she trusted most: her husband and her own sister. On the morning of her wedding anniversary, she wakes up naked in a stranger’s bed, with no memory of the night before. Still reeling with confusion, she heads to her husband’s office to surprise him—only to find him in a compromising position with her sister. But the ultimate betrayal comes when they throw an envelope at her feet—photos accusing her of infidelity she never remembered committing. When she overhears them plotting her death, Melinda knows she has to run. What they don’t know is that she’s just inherited a fortune—and she's not the same naive woman anymore. She vanishes to Las Vegas, where she rebuilds her life from scratch. But fate has one more twist. She’s pregnant… with twins. And the father? Six years later, Melinda returns to Los Angeles, stronger, wealthier, and ready for revenge. Her plan is flawless—until her twins come face to face with their father. Now, James wants answers. The twins want a family. And Melinda just wants justice. Love was never part of the plan… but the heart has plans of its own.

My voice trembled, carried away by the faint hum of the bathroom fan. The fluorescent bulb above flickered, casting uncertain light across my tired face.“Everyone keeps saying there’s still time to… to get rid of it.” My throat tightened around the words. “But I can’t. I won’t.”The woman staring back at me didn’t look like the version of me I remembered. Her hair was slightly messy, her eyes ringed with exhaustion, but behind that weariness was something stronger—something fierce and new. Determination.For a moment, I just stared, searching for traces of the girl who once cried herself to sleep, the one who felt abandoned, unwanted, and broken. But she was fading now. In her place was someone braver, someone who refused to let pain dictate her story anymore.I let out a shaky breath. “No,” I whispered. “This child is my strength
“I don’t care what anyone says,” I whispered into the empty room, hugging my knees to my chest. “Nobody should blame me for what I’m going through.”The silence answered me back, cold and still. I wasn’t talking to anyone, but saying it aloud made it feel like someone might finally understand.“I had sex with a man I met for the first time,” I said again, louder this time. “And I don’t regret it.”I paused, letting the weight of my own confession settle in the air.“Do you even know what it means to be married for two whole years and never enjoy sex? Two years!” I stood up suddenly, pacing the room barefoot, my voice rising with each step. “I was supposed to be a wife, not a statue. I felt nothing. Just cold sheets and fake moans. Nothing real.”I stopped by the window, staring out at the dark sky. A soft wind blew against the glass, like the world outside was listening to me.“But that one night… that one moment with someone I barely knew… it felt different,” I whispered, voice crack
“I Think I Know Who the Father Is…”“I’m sorry, what did you say?” My boss's voice snapped me back to reality.I blinked, realizing I must’ve said something out loud without knowing. “It’s nothing,” I said quickly, forcing a weak smile. It didn’t even touch my lips, let alone my heart. “I’ve just been… tired.”He leaned forward across his desk, his brows creased with concern. “You’ve missed two deadlines this week, and the last proposal you submitted ended on page two. That’s not you, Melinda,”I looked down at my hands resting in my lap, fingers nervously twisting the ring I no longer wore. “It won’t happen again,” I muttered.There was a pause.Then a soft sigh. “Look, if you need a few days—take them. Seriously. I’d rather have you back focused than burnt out and struggling.”I nodded once, barely hearing the words. “Thanks,” I murmured, standing up like a puppet being pulled by strings. “I’ll be fine.”“Just remember, you don’t have to carry everything alone,” he said as I turned
My eyes stared blankly at the ceiling as the dim light from the hallway flickered across the wall—like a ghost creeping in and out of my thoughts. My heart beat in uneven rhythms, like it was trying to keep pace with my fears. The air in the room felt heavy, thick, and cruel. I pulled the blanket tighter around my body, hoping to find comfort, but nothing—absolutely nothing—could warm the coldness inside me.How do you even breathe again when you’re trying to run from your painful past, but life isn’t done with you yet?I didn’t mean to cry again.But the moment I looked at the test result, the tears broke loose—like water crashing through a dam.Pregnant.Just one word. Eight letters. But it cracked something deep inside me.I sat at the edge of the bed, gripping the paper so tightly that my knuckles turned white. My body felt distant, like it didn’t belong to me anymore—numb, trembling, and cold, even though the fan was off and every window was shut.“No,” I whispered. “This can’t b
