CHAPTER 1

I stood in the middle of my husband’s bedroom, the air feeling suddenly too thin to breathe. My eyes were fixed on the medium sized metal box sitting on the floor, open, in front of me. I was horrified, my entire body was frozen, as I stared into the box.This was the one place I was neversupposed to look. Julian always told me this box held his most important business documents and family secrets, things that were too private for even his wife to see.I had always respected his privacy and didn't talk much or even argue about it. For three years, I believed he was a man who just valued his personal space so I never trespassed, not even when I was too curious to take a look at what was so special that he kept in his room. He also always kept his room locked so me getting in was a problem.However, I had watched him all day to take a look at where he always hid the key. The moment he stepped out, I grabbed the key and came into the room and a part of me desperately wished that I hadn'

CHAPTER 2

I slowly stood up, my legs trembling so violently I thought I would fall right back onto the floor. I ignored the mess on the floor and turned my gaze to the woman standing beside Julian. She was exactly like the portrait. She was exactly like me.I pointed a shaking finger at her, my voice barely a whisper. "Who... who is she?"Deep down, a small part of me was still screaming that this was a nightmare. I was waiting for Julian to laugh and tell me it was a prank, or for me to wake up in my own bed. But instead, Julian did something that shattered my heart into a million pieces.He reached out and wrapped his arms around the woman’s waist, pulling her close to his side. As he did, I noticed it. Her stomach was rounded, protruding through her dress. She was pregnant."Since you've already seen those pictures and went through my things, why ask?" Julian said, his voice cold and devoid of any of the warmth I had known for three years. "This is Elena."I felt like I couldn't breathe

CHAPTER 3

I felt a wave of nausea so strong I had to clutch my stomach. My entire life for the last three years, the love I thought I had, the family I thought I was building, even the relationship with my mother, it was all a lie."So…" I choked out, the words feeling like I was eating glass shards and swallowing them. "I was just a body to take the hits meant for her.""Exactly," Julian said, turning away to help Elena stand up. "And now that Elena is pregnant and the main threats have been cleared, I don't need a shield anymore. I have the real thing back."Elena leaned into him, her face looking so much like mine that it made me want to scream. "Don't be too hard on her, Julian," she said in that sweet, fake voice. "She did a good job for us, didn't she?”I stared at the back of Julian’s head, my heart cold and heavy. "What do you mean you don't need a shield anymore?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper. "What happens to me now?"Julian turned back to me, his eyes filled with a bored indiff

CHAPTER 4

I couldn't breathe. The hospital room, which had felt like a sanctuary only moments ago, was suddenly closing in on me. I looked at the woman who had given me life, the woman I had spent years trying to make proud, sending her money and securing her status, but she was nothing but a predator preying on her daughter."What did you just say?" I rasped, my voice sounding like it was being dragged over sand."I said it's a blessing!" she snapped, her eyes darting to the nurse as if daring her to intervene. "Honestly, Anessa, think for once. A child would have tied you to Julian forever. It would have made the transition... difficult. Now, we have a clean slate. You're unburdened. You're ready.""Ready for what?" I whispered.She didn't answer. Instead, she reached out and grabbed my arm. Her fingers dug into my bruised skin with strength and before I could cry out, she yanked at me. My feet hit the cold floor, and a flare of pain erupted in my abdomen. I buckled, my knees hitting the grou

CHAPTER 5

Aneesa’s povI stared at him with wide eyes expecting the worst from him. What was he doing here? Why was I here?“Oh dear,” he checked. “It’s really dark in here. Wanted to make a dramatic reveal but it’s coming out creepy.”He walked towards me as I gulped and whimpered away from him.I had already had a bad time with his nephew. I didn’t want to be on his bad side as well.He got close to me then switched on the light switch as the room lit up.It blinded me for a minute before I winced at the brightness of the room.I looked around. I was amazed by how big the room was. In the dark, it felt small, but now it was big.“So, do we have a deal?” he asked.I looked at him, then scoffed. “Over my dead body. I’d rather poke my eyes out with a cast iron that has been melted and stab myself in the heart a thousand times than be your bride.”He sighed, waving me away like I was just yapping without making any point.“I find that hard to believe.”“And what makes you think that you know me t

CHAPTER 6

Aneesa’s povHe didn’t say anything to me as he walked through the hallways with the maids and guards who were stationed around, bowing while we passed.I looked around. Everywhere was neat, bigger than the house I had stayed in with Julian. I missed my old home. This place felt lonely. It had more guards and more maids than I had ever seen in a house. I wondered what they were all doing and how rich this man was to be able to afford this kind of staff he had.He walked down the stairs, trying his best not to fall down as he got to the bottom, then turned over to me, extending a hand towards me.I got to the last step and stared at him. “I can walk by myself,” I said.He smiled. “I know, but it’s mostly for me, not for you.”I didn’t argue but got down and stood by his side as I held his hand while he walked through the back door.We got into the backyard as I was amazed by what I saw. A large field of flowers and trees. He closed the door behind him and pointed into the distance.“Th

CHAPTER 7

Aneesa’s povThe next day, I woke up to the sun brimming in through the window. I stayed in bed for a while, not moving, not yawning, not stretching, just staring at the sun as I had given up on life. I mean, what was the point of doing anything anyway? I had been sold out by my own mother, and right now, I was sure that Elena and Julian were having the best time of their lives right now.I hated myself. I hated the way I had been used and dumped by Julian. For three years, how did I not see him for what he truly was? Someone who used people. I should have known. I had my speculation, but I didn’t know that it was going to be this terrible. I should have hundred percent known that he was going to act this way, but no, I had been blinded to the fact that Julian was a monster.I heard approaching feet as I turned away from the direction of the door to look at the window, my face facing the lights that were too bright. I looked around for a button to close the window with. I sighed, ther

Chapter 8

Aneesa’s povThe doctor walked around checking my vitals while the nurse stood at the back, close to the door, as a backup call. When she was done, she stepped away and looked at me.“How do you feel?”I nodded. “I feel okay.”She sighed, then looked at the door. “You’re free to go now.”The nurse looked at her, then looked at me, before opening the door, as I saw Matt, my driver and bodyguard, standing there. He looked into the room before it was closed.“I have to say, your mother left in a hurry yesterday, dragging you along with her. I didn’t expect that.”I looked at her, then looked away.“Are you under any trouble? Is your mother the problem?”“My mother is just fine,” I said. She didn’t believe me, but she nodded.“Your case is quite peculiar, the point where your health is very important, but somehow, some people don’t care about that.”I jumped from the bed to the floor as I looked at the doctor. “If I’m okay, there’s no need for me to stay here.”She gave me her card. “Yes,

Chapter 9

Aneesa’s povDarius’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the driver behind me.I could tell that what I had done had pissed him off and for a second I felt this joy bubble within me. This was just how I liked it.The driver came forward and bowed before him. “Forgive me, sir. I tried to talk her out of it.”I looked at Matt and then looked at Darius. “Now I’m here. Are you going to invite me to your office or are we going to stay in the hallway and argue?”He raised a brow, then nodded. “Matt, get back to the parking lot. I’ll talk to you later. Besides, there’s nothing you could have done.”He turned to stare into my eyes like he could see my soul. “Aneesa can be very persuasive when she wants to be.”The driver bowed deeply before walking out as he gestured for me to follow him.We walked to the group of men in suits who parted the way for us as we walked by. He didn’t acknowledge them or introduce me to them. He just walked by like they didn’t exist.Soon we got to his office, which he

Chapter 10

Aneesa’s povI sat in the car in silence, feeling my anger build up within me, but there was nothing I could do. My hands were tied. All I could do was feel bad for Matt.“What’s on your mind?” he asked.I scoffed, looking out of the window. “You punish an innocent person, and then you ask me what’s on my mind. What do you want me to say, Darius?”He slowed the car to a stop in front of a big restaurant. “Let’s go in and eat.”He opened the door, and I did the same, stepping onto the sidewalk.I slammed the door hard, which had him stopping before me with a calm look on his face.“Now let’s not do anything rash that we’d regret.”He turned around, extending his hands towards me for me to place my hands into his. “Don’t keep me waiting.”I gulped, knowing I was nothing but a pawn in this game, as I did what he wanted and he led me into the restaurant.While we walked through the restaurant, everybody bowed to us as patrons looked and got out their phones to take pictures.“Just keep a
