Chapter 1

As expected, Lena Chapman and Shane Steele's wedding night didn't disappoint the audience.They trashed everything in the presidential suite, fighting from the living room all the way to the bedroom.When exhaustion finally set in, no one knew who made the first move, but they ended up rolling together onto the only intact king-sized bed.Neither was the type to back down, and they even fought for control in bed. Yet, against all odds, they fit together seamlessly.That night was wild and intense. They were like two blazes colliding, burning away every last shred of sanity.From then on, it became their unspoken routine. No matter how viciously they argued or how hard they hit, they always ended up in bed together.At the racetrack lounge, in a private jet bathroom, in a tent watching the sunrise from a mountaintop…The locations grew increasingly absurd, and their encounters ever more reckless.Like two trapped beasts, they tore at each other in a cage of desire, yet drew warm

After saying that, Shane turned and walked away without another glance, holding Yasmine by the hand.Lena tried to give chase, but her vision blurred as blood ran down from her hairline.Just as she took a single step forward, she blacked out and collapsed.When she woke up, she was in a hospital."You're finally awake," the nurse said. "How are you feeling? Aside from the surface injuries, you have a mild concussion and need some rest. Also… you're about six weeks pregnant."Lena looked up, stunned. "What?""You're pregnant," the nurse repeated as she handed Lena the lab results. "Given your injuries, the pregnancy is unstable. I'd recommend staying a few days for observation."The nurse left, leaving Lena alone in the ward.She looked down at her stomach. It was still completely flat, showing no signs of life, yet a child was growing inside. This was her and Shane's baby.Should she be happy? But the father had just told her to her face that he loved someone else.Should sh

Shane had sent, "I know you wrecked every car in my garage. Now that you've vented your rage, let's put this behind us."Tears spilled faster down Lena's cheeks as she read the words.How could she ever let this go?Her baby was gone, her heart was broken, and three years of devotion had been thrown back in her face.How could any of this just end?Wiping her tears, she dialed a number. "Draft a divorce agreement for me. Yes, right now."After hanging up, she went back to her room and started packing her bags.Two hours later, the lawyer delivered the paperwork.Lena sat in the living room, waiting until dusk, when Shane finally returned.He walked in and froze when he saw her sitting on the couch. "You—"Before he could finish speaking, Lena shoved the document in front of him. "Sign it."Shane looked down, his expression darkening. "A divorce agreement? Lena, what kind of scene are you making now?""I'm not making a scene," Lena said calmly. "Sign it, and we can part ways

Wiping away her tears, Lena picked up her phone and dialed her lawyer. "Shane has signed it. Process the paperwork as fast as possible."After hanging up, she stared at the signed divorce agreement in her hands. It felt as though a faint breeze had finally blown into the frozen wasteland inside her.It was cold, but at least it was free.She was just about to call her best friend, Anna Dawson, to grab a drink and stay out all night when her phone buzzed again.It was a text from an unknown number."Want your mother's necklace? Come get it from me. Address attached."Below it was an address and a photo of Yasmine holding the diamond necklace, her smile sweet.Lena stared at the photo for a long time, then grabbed her car keys and rushed out the door.Yasmine lived in a high-end apartment complex with strict security. Lena was only let in after she gave her name.The elevator stopped at the top floor. When the doors opened, Yasmine was already waiting outside.She was dressed i

Ignoring Yasmine, Lena pulled a horse out from the stable and tied Yasmine behind it."Lena! Are you out of your mind? Let me go! Shane won't let you get away with this!""Or really?" Lena swung herself onto the saddle and stared down coldly at the disheveled Yasmine on the ground. "Then let's see how he plans to stop me!"She slammed her heels into the horse's flanks and snapped, "Giddyup!"Stung by the sharp blow, the horse let out a loud whinny and bolted forward."Ah!" Yasmine let out a bloodcurdling scream.Bound by the rope, she was dragged across the rough dirt and gravel of the riding ground. Sand and sharp stones tore through her skin, leaving raw, bloody streaks across her body."Help! Stop! I'm sorry! Lena, I was wrong! Please stop! Please spare me! Ah!"Driven to utter terror and excruciating agony, Yasmine finally broke down and begged for mercy.As Lena listened to her screams and desperate pleas for mercy, the violent rage inside her chest didn't subside even a

What?Lena's heart skipped a beat. Without a second thought, she sped straight toward the seaside villa.When she arrived, what she saw nearly broke her.Shane was actually there.Wearing a black trench coat, he stood on the lawn in front of the villa, his expression cold.Behind him were several roaring excavators and demolition machines, with a crew of workers standing by."Shane Steele! What are you doing?"Shane turned around. The moment he saw her, his gaze turned cold, devoid of the slightest warmth. "You ignored all my calls and texts. I waited so long for an explanation, but you never gave me one. If you won't give me the answers, then I'll find my own closure."This house is very important to you, isn't it? Since you ruined Yasmine's peace and hurt her, I'll let you taste what it feels like to watch your most cherished possession destroyed."He waved a hand at the foreman behind him. "Tear it down."Lena tried to rush forward to stop them, but the bodyguards Shane br

Over the next few days, Lena locked herself in her room.She refused to eat, drink, answer calls, or see anyone.The maid brought meals to her door, but they sat untouched until they went cold. She reheated them, only for them to grow cold again. Eventually, she took them away, just as they were.Yet, some things couldn't be kept outside, like her phone.Every day, videos from an unknown number flooded in at a set time.Sometimes it showed Shane and Yasmine dining together, with him placing food on her plate with a tenderness that made her heart ache.Sometimes it was of them out shopping, with him holding her hand and smiling softly as he leaned down to listen to her talk.Sometimes it was just Yasmine showing off a new present from Shane in front of the camera, saying in a sweet voice, "Shane said this color suits me."Every single time, Lena watched with a blank face before deleting it.She deleted them, received more, and deleted them again. It was like a never-ending exec

Shane pulled his gaze back. His voice was completely flat as he replied, "Nothing."But Yasmine wasn't blind.She had caught his expression just now—that focused, searching, almost captivated look.She had also overheard the people nearby gushing about Lena."Who was that on the piano? She's stunning!""Her technique was incredible. Total professional standard!""I just looked her up. It looks like she filled in for Anna. Name's Lena Chapman… The heiress to the Chapman family?""Lena Chapman? No way! Isn't she a notorious party girl?""It really is her, though…"The hushed whispers pricked at Yasmine's ears like needles.As she glanced at Shane's still somewhat distracted profile, her fingernails dug deep into her palms.…In the backstage dressing room, Lena changed out of her dress and put her street clothes back on. Just as she finished zipping up, the door swung open."Ms. Chapman, I certainly didn't expect that," Yasmine said, her smile never reaching her eyes. "You r

Two bodyguards stepped forward and grabbed Lena by both arms."Shane Steele! Let go of me!" Lena thrashed wildly. "Don't you dare!"Shane didn't even cast a glance in her direction. He turned back toward his car. "Throw her in. Let her soak overnight and pull her out tomorrow morning!""Yes, sir."Lena was dragged down to the riverbank.The late-autumn water was bone-chilling. The moment she was shoved in, uncontrollable shivers wracked her entire body.She tried to swim back to shore, but the bodyguards stood at the edge, shoving her back into the water with poles every time she drew close."Shane Steele! You bastard! I hate you! I will never forgive you as long as I live!"Her cries echoed across the surface of the river, but they met only silence.After an agonizing stretch of time, a sharp, twisting pain shot through her lower abdomen.It clicked then. Her period was due right around these couple of days.The icy water combined with severe menstrual cramps created a doub

The moment Yael finished speaking, the entire room fell dead silent. Everyone turned to look at Shane and Lena.Having Lena keep Yael company for the night? It was a humiliation in its purest form.Everyone knew what kind of scumbag Yael was. What spending the night meant was painfully obvious.Shane's expression darkened. His gaze turned ice-cold as he turned to Yael. "That joke isn't funny.""I'm not joking," Yael said as he threw his hands up, his smile relaxed. "I'm completely serious, Mr. Steele. Just think about it. One set of jewelry in exchange for one night with a beauty. You're not losing here."Shane remained silent for a few seconds. He glanced over at Yasmine, who was looking up at him with eager expectation. Finally, as if making a choice, he turned to his bodyguards and ordered, "Bring my wife over."Those words were like poisoned needles, stabbing deep into Lena's heart.The bodyguards escorted her in and brought her before him. Her voice was soft yet filled with
