Chapter 1

I woke up screaming.My fingers clawed at the bedsheets like I was trying to hold onto something that wasn't there anymore. My lungs burned, my throat was raw, and my whole body was drenched in sweat. For a few seconds I just sat there in the dark, gasping, shaking, trying to remember how to breathe.I was alive.That couldn't be right. I remembered dying. I remembered the fall, the wind tearing through my hair, the monsters waiting below with their jaws wide open. I remembered every single second of it.I threw the blanket off and stumbled toward the light switch. My fingers trembled so bad it took me three tries to flip it on. When the light flooded the room, I froze completely.A wedding portrait hung on the wall across from the bed. Me in a white gown, smiling like I meant it. And next to me, tall and cold even in a photograph, stood Alejandro Montero."No," I whispered, pressing my hand over my mouth. "No, no, no..."My legs carried me to the window before my brain could catch up

Chapter 2

I sat on the edge of the bed for a long time after the crying stopped. My eyes were swollen, my chest ached, and every breath tasted like salt. But underneath all of that, underneath the grief and the rage and the disbelief, one thought kept circling through my mind like a shark.Camila wanted my husband. She wanted my life. And she got it.I let out a bitter chuckle that sounded nothing like laughter. The girl I had pulled out of that orphanage, the girl I had fed and clothed and defended my entire childhood, had murdered her own baby and framed me for it just so she could crawl into Alejandro Montero's bed."And I let her," I muttered to myself, staring at my hands in my lap. "I saw every red flag and I let her."That was the worst part. Not the betrayal itself, but how easy I had made it for them. I had been so desperate for love, so hungry for a family, that I had handed them the knife and stood still while they used it.Not this time. This time I was going to divorce Alejandro be

Chapter 3

The mechanical voice kept talking, but my brain was still trying to catch up with the fact that I was standing in the middle of nowhere with a sword wielding warrior who had just claimed ownership of my body.[ATTENTION, HOSTS.

Xiomara's entire expression collapsed into disgust, her upper lip curling like someone had shoved rotten fruit under her nose. "You dragged me out of the void and bound my soul to this soft little creature for farming?"[CORRECT.

Chapter 4

My back slid down the bedroom door until I was sitting on the cold marble floor with my knees pulled up to my chest. The tears came again, hot and fast, and I didn't even try to stop them this time. What was the point? Nobody was watching. Nobody cared.Alejandro never loved me. He never even liked me. From the very first day of our marriage, he had looked at me the way you look at a bill you didn't expect. An obligation. A burden. A mistake he couldn't undo because his family's reputation demanded he keep up appearances.I had spent years trying to make him see me differently. Cooking his favorite meals. Staying quiet when he came home late smelling like whiskey and someone else's perfume. And what did I get? A husband who handed me to the monsters without a second thought.The worst part was knowing that he truly believed I had drugged him that night. Tricked him into sleeping with me just to trap him. He never once considered that maybe I had been just as drunk, just as scared when

Chapter 5

The sound of that slap bounced off every wall in the dining room like a gunshot. Jazmin stumbled sideways, her hand flying to her cheek, her eyes so wide they looked like they were about to fall out of her skull. A bright red handprint was already blooming across the left side of her face, and her mouth hung open in a silent scream that took a full three seconds to find its voice.Then she screamed. Loud, shrill, and so full of disbelief it barely sounded human.I wasn't in control. I could feel my own body moving, feel the sting in my palm, but none of it was me. Xiomara was running the show, and she was enjoying every second of it.The rest of the Montero family was on their feet in an instant. Chairs scraped against marble. Every pair of eyes in the room was locked on me with the kind of shock that comes from seeing something you never thought was possible.Because I had never hit anyone. Not once in all the years I had lived under this roof. The old Mia would have cried in the bat
