I’d sell my soul to the devil and lay every fucking accomplishment at your feet… just don’t give that soft, sweet smile you once gave me to that worthless piece of shit.” °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ Lila Danforth was never supposed to be the bride. When her identical twin sister, Clara, abandoned billionaire Elias Voss at the altar, Lila stepped in quietly, desperately, and hopelessly in love with the man her sister had thrown away. For three years she was the perfect wife, giving him everything while asking for almost nothing. Until their third anniversary. That day, Lila walked in on Elias in their bed… with Clara. Hurt by her husband’s cold indifference, her twin’s cruel betrayal, and her family’s icy dismissal, Lila finally does the one thing she never dared before. She walks away. But how could that single choice completely ruin her life even more? Did her leaving feel like such a threat to them? This left only one question burning brighter than the rest. Tell me, dear readers… After everything he and everyone around her had put her through, could Lila ever forgive them? Or would she grind them to dust?

Click.The sound of someone entering the code on the other side of the door.My blood ran cold.I froze for half a second, then moved fast. I shoved the drawer shut as quietly as I could and dropped to the floor, crawling under the heavy desk just as the door began to open. My ribs screamed in protest, but I bit down on my lip and forced myself to stay silent, pressing my back against the wooden paneling as far into the shadows as I could go.Footsteps entered the room.I held my breath, every muscle in my body locked tight. I couldn’t see who it was from under the desk, but I could hear them moving around slowly. The soft sound of shoes on the carpet and the faint rustle of clothing.I stayed perfectly still, my heart hammering so loud I was terrified they’d hear it.Please don’t sit down. Please don’t sit down.If they sat at t
When I reached the back door, I pushed it open with my shoulder and stepped outside, squinting against the harsh bright light. I walked straight to the old garden shed at the far end of the property. My arms were shaking from the weight of Peanuts’ body, but I didn’t stop. I set him down gently on the grass for a moment, then grabbed a shovel from the corner and walked back to the open space near the edge of the garden, where the grass was softer and the trees offered a little shade. Without hesitation, I started digging. Every thrust of the shovel sent fresh pain through my ribs and arms, but I kept going. The ground was harder than I expected, and my body was weak from three days with no food or water, but I didn’t stop. Sweat mixed with the dried blood and dirt on my skin. My hands blistered quickly, but I kept going deeper and wider. When the grave was finally deep enough, I lowered Peanuts into it as carefully as I could. My hands were trembling again. I stared down at h
Just as I expected, they left me down there.Three days passed in a haze of pain, thirst, and the slow, suffocating reality of the dungeon. By the second day, the smell had become unbearable. By the third, it was suffocating. The air was thick with the stench of rot, urine, and decay. Peanuts’ body had started to bloat, his once-soft fur now tight and discolored. I still held him, though my arms had long since gone numb. I couldn’t bring myself to let him go, even as the smell of him made my empty stomach twist violently.The madman in the corner had stopped muttering. He mostly lay curled up now, too weak to do much else. Sometimes he would whimper or growl when I moved, but the fight had drained out of both of us.I was dizzy, weak, and so fucking thirsty I could barely think straight. My lips were cracked, my head pounded constantly, and every time I closed my eyes, I saw flashes of Clara’s face or Peanuts whimpering in pain.On the third day, I finally heard footsteps on the st
The madman growled low in his throat, still glaring at me with those wild, hungry eyes. He jerked forward again, teeth snapping at the air between us.I sighed, shoulders slumping.“But if you’re against me too…” I murmured, voice quiet and tired, “then there’s really nothing more I can do, is there?”I pushed myself up slowly, legs unsteady. My body felt heavy, every bruise and cut screaming in protest, but I forced myself to stand anyway.“I’m exhausted,” I sighed, more to myself than to him. “I need to sleep.”I started walking toward him.One slow step at a time.“I don’t even know what you’ll do to me,” I continued. “You might rip me apart the second I accidentally get close enough in my sleep. You probably will.” I let out a small, broken laugh that didn’t reach my eyes. I stopped a few feet away from him, close enough that I could smell the rot and blood clinging to his skin. Close enough that if he lunged hard enough, he might actually reach me.I just stood there, swaying sl
What was the best thing to do in this situation? I knew my family all too well—the same script every time something cracked in my life. Deny, deflect, defend the golden ones. My throat burned, but I wiped my eyes with the back of my sleeve anyway, the cotton rough against my swollen skin, s
The door creaked open wider, and I slipped past her into the familiar hallway that still smelled like lemon polish and whatever pie she had baking in the oven. Mom closed the door behind us with a quiet click, crossed her arms, and leaned against the wall like she was bracing for whatever mess I h
Easier… Easier? I had spent nearly my whole life loving Elias even though it was never really reciprocated, hoping one day he would finally notice me. That even though I was only ever Clara’s replacement, I could still make him happy. That soon he would realize Clara had intended to leave him s
Nothing prepares you for it. Not the therapy books stacked on your nightstand, not the whispered warnings from your married friends over too many glasses of cheap wine, not even the goddamn movies where the betrayed wife always looks flawless while she hurls a vase at the cheater’s head.
