Chapter 1

After five years in a vegetative state, Arya Songhurst finally awakened, though her eyes remained closed.The first sound she heard was her husband Neil Hammond's low, gentle voice. He stroked her face softly and whispered, "Ary, you're of no use to me anymore. Just sleep… and never wake up again."'Bastard.' Arya dug her nails into her palm to keep from vomiting.She had met Neil when she was 12 and married him at 20. At 22, she gave birth to twins, but complications during labor left her in a coma. The doctors had said she had only basic life functions—no consciousness, no awareness—just a breathing shell.The truth was that she could hear and feel everything. She just couldn't wake up. That helpless state became a twisted blessing as it revealed Neil's true face.A knock interrupted her thoughts."Mr. Hammond, visiting hours are over," the nurse said gently.Neil thanked her with his usual charming smile. Before leaving, he bent down and kissed Arya's forehead, his expression

Chapter 2

In the hospital room, Arya sat quietly on the bed while several doctors and nurses surrounded her, running tests.She had been the one to press the call button by her bed, signaling the nurses that she had finally awakened. After five years trapped in a vegetative state, she was done being silent. Now that she was awake, one thing was clear. She was getting a divorce.Her youth might have been wasted, but everything else—her assets, her career, and most of all, her two children—she would take back, one piece at a time. She wouldn't let that bastard walk away with anything.Her ultimate goal? To strip Neil of custody and send him away empty-handed.After five blank years, though, she needed time. She had to play her cards carefully.From the corner of her eye, she spotted Neil's tailored suit just outside the door.The timing was perfect."Dr. Tambling, what's wrong with my eyes?" Arya asked shakily. "Why can't I see anything since I woke up?"Neil, who had just entered, froze a

Chapter 3

The black Bentley pulled up in front of the villa.Neil lifted Arya from the car and gently settled her into the wheelchair, then pushed it forward.Behind her sunglasses, Arya took in the sight of the house, their marital home. After five long years, it felt like stepping into a distant past."We're home, Ary," Neil whispered, leaning close to her ear. "Can you smell it? The tulips you planted for me have bloomed beautifully. I've cared for them all these years."Arya stared blankly at the tulip garden in the front yard. Under the moonlight, the flowers stood tall and elegant, stunningly beautiful.She had planted every single one. Back then, she loved Neil with all her heart. He had once said tulips were his favorite flower, and that was enough. She had planted hundreds, never asking why.Until she fell into a coma.Whenever Lindsay visited, she would bring tulips. With a soft smile in her voice, she would whisper, "Arya, did you know? Tulips are my favorite flower. You worked

Chapter 4

Lindsay clung to Neil, standing amid the tulip garden Arya had planted. The scene felt surreal, like a dream.Arya let out a cold, bitter laugh. She watched Neil gently pull away from Lindsay, reach into his pocket, and hand her the lipstick Lindsay had accidentally left behind.They exchanged a few quiet words. Then Lindsay stood on tiptoe and leaned in for a kiss.That was the last straw. Disgusted, Arya turned away from the window and forced herself toward the closet.The walk-in closet was massive. Her clothes hung neatly on one side—mostly simple, soft-toned dresses that radiated quiet grace.Neil liked her in muted colors. Arya had never cared for them, but once Neil told her she looked beautiful in a white dress, she began dressing to match his preferences rather than her own.How ridiculous she had been.Arya pulled open a hidden compartment inside the wardrobe. Inside lay her ID card, passport, bank cards, two phones, and a thick folder.The cover of the folder caught

Chapter 5

The city lit up in neon as night fell.At Pearce Pavilion, Amersol's most exclusive private club, Troy strolled out with one hand in his pocket and the other casually swinging a folder. His black dress shirt hung open at the collar, giving him a rakish, devil-may-care air. He looked every bit the playboy heir.Samuel, waiting by the car, stepped forward quickly and greeted, "Mr. Pearce."He had worked for Troy for seven years and could tell from his boss's expression that the deal was done.Troy tossed the folder over without a word. Inside lay 25% of Washi Pharmaceuticals' equity."Starting today, Washi has a new name. Pearce," Troy drawled. His voice was light and laid-back, but the arrogance in his bones was unmistakable.Samuel grinned. "When Mr. Nigel hears about this tomorrow, he's going to lose it. He's been eyeing Washi for over six months and couldn't get anywhere. But, Mr. Pearce… I thought you always avoided domestic pharma? What made you suddenly take an interest in W

Chapter 6

Arya woke early the next morning. She wanted to personally wake her two little darlings, kiss them good morning, have breakfast with them, and send them off to school just like every other mom.During those years she had been lying paralyzed in bed, unable to move, this simple dream had kept her going.Her legs were still weak, though. She had no choice but to rely on Neil's help. She waited patiently for him to come out of the bathroom. He had always liked to shower first thing in the morning."Neil," she said with a soft, expectant smile. "Can you pick out an outfit from the wardrobe? Something Chris and Lottie would like. Once I'm dressed, can you help me wake them?"She had already missed five years of their lives. She needed to slowly reenter their world. She had to show Christopher and Charlotte how deeply she loved them and that she would never leave again.Neil paused for a moment, then walked toward her.As he approached, Arya caught the scent of his body wash—sweet, wit

Chapter 7

After dropping the kids off at school, Neil drove straight to the office.As he stepped through the front doors, his assistant, Jonathan Ritson, approached with a serious expression. "Mr. Hammond, we have an update. Washi Pharmaceuticals just changed its major shareholder."Neil's expression shifted as he took the tablet Jonathan handed him.The top headline on the financial morning news read: [Pharma Giant Washi Pharmaceuticals Sees Major Shakeup in Ownership! Former Chairman Jack Cartwright sold his 25% stake last night. The buyer remains undisclosed.]Jonathan kept pace as Neil walked, briefing him, "From what I found, this mysterious buyer didn't just acquire Jack's shares. Over the past six months, they've quietly bought smaller stakes from minor shareholders. Altogether, they now hold over 50% of the company."Over 50% meant that this investor had become the undisputed majority owner of Washi Pharmaceuticals.Jonathan pushed up his glasses. "Mr. Hammond, Washi is one of our

Chapter 8

If the Niall Group ranked among the top ten corporations in Amersol, the Pearces wielded a power so immense that even all ten combined could not compare.Neil frowned, puzzled. "The Pearces never touch the pharmaceutical industry. Why would they suddenly acquire Washi Pharmaceuticals?"Seamus shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe the profits were just too tempting to ignore. Who ever complains about making too much money?"He glanced at the time and stood up. At the door, he turned back to remind Neil, "Don't forget that Asher's flying back tonight. It's his birthday. We're meeting at T-Club at 7:00 p.m. to welcome him."Asher Lightbown had been one of their university roommates and a close friend for years—there was no skipping out.After a moment's thought, Neil picked up his phone and dialed the villa."Mr. Hammond," Patricia answered."Where's Arya?""She's in her room.""Put her on."The landline in the living room connected to the bedroom, so Patricia transferred the call. Neil w

Chapter 9

Not long after Arya replied to Diane's message, a commotion erupted downstairs.She moved to the window and glanced out. Two large trucks had pulled into the front yard, both loaded with yellow roses, roots and all.Seven or eight gardeners jumped down from the trucks, shovels in hand, and began digging up the tulips that filled the garden.Arya leaned against the windowsill and watched as her garden was destroyed beyond recognition.Soon, not a single tulip remained.It was beautiful.She smiled for the first time since waking.…At 6:00 p.m., Diane's driver arrived to pick Arya up.Patricia helped Arya into the car. As it pulled away, Arya saw in the rearview mirror that Patricia was already photographing the license plate, likely to report back to Neil.She didn't care.Neil knew this was Diane's car. He also knew how much Diane disliked him. In public, he always maintained a polished, gentlemanly image. The last person he wanted to cross was the hot-tempered Diane.Righ

Chapter 10

Arya remembered that day vividly.It had been Neil's birthday, and they had just started dating. He had promised to have dinner with her, so she had spent three hours getting ready, carefully applying makeup and choosing the perfect outfit. She had then waited for him at the restaurant, full of excitement.He had never shown up. She had waited until midnight, long after the restaurant closed. Even so, there had been no sign of Neil. His phone had been off.Worried, Arya had rushed to his school to look for him and waited outside the men's dormitory until sunrise.She hadn't seen Neil, only his roommate, Seamus.When Seamus saw her, his expression grew awkward. After hesitating, he had told her Neil had gone to the hospital the night before.Arya had been naïve. She had assumed that Neil must have been sick and even asked Seamus not to mention that she had waited all night. She had feared that it would make Neil feel guilty.The truth?That night she had waited in the cold, Neil
