Novel Web & Cerita Victim Second Chance First-Person POV

“Get out. And take another man’s bastard with you.” I spent three years doing IVF and lost two pregnancies before Leo finally came. Two weeks after I brought him home, my husband held up a DNA test in front of his mother and threw us out into the January snow. By noon he had posted online that his wife cheated. By evening every card in my name was frozen. Our prenup says a cheating wife leaves with nothing. I never cheated. I never even looked at another man. So I ran a DNA test of my own and found the man whose son I had given birth to. Gabriel Locke is a billionaire, a cancer survivor, and a widower. Six years ago he banked his only chance at a child before chemotherapy. His wife died before they could use it. He shows up at my door with three lawyers and one sentence: “You have my son.” He thinks I stole the sample. I think he wants to take my baby. The court gives us ninety days to prove who deserves Leo. And the only place I can afford to live is the guest house behind his mansion.

Charlotte Kane thought she had it all - a loving husband, distance from her past and a future family - but behind closed doors, her husband is anything but. After being beaten and getting the evidence she needs, she goes on the run, only to be saved by the only people she had tried to leave in the past - Victor Kane, her father, the Pres of the Vipers Motorcycle Club, and his enforcer, Logan Gideon, her first love. Now, Logan becomes her protector, and old emotions she thought she'd buried reignite, but life was never meant to be easy. And love? Well...it's a vipers pit, and someone always ends up getting bit.

"You actually thought I'd marry you for you?" His mouth curled. "You fat, disembodied creature." "I should've never rejected my fated mate for a bulldozer like you." "You were never meant to be Luna," I, Phoebe Rousey died on my fifth wedding anniversary, betrayed twice over. My mate, Alpha Simon of the BlackAsh pack, has spent five years using me only to seize both my birthright and the Starlight throne — and on the night I finally catch him, he tells me the truth: he rejected his real fated mate, Stella, to marry me for power alone. Before I could process the wreckage of my marriage, Stella tears through the glasshouse Simon once built me with his own hands and murders me in cold blood, jealous of every year I spent as Luna in her place. I woke up twelve days before my original bonding ceremony, young again and armed with memories no one else should have. Determined not to become a pawn a second time, I hide my knowledge behind the same soft, unsuspecting mask I wore the first time around, quietly preparing my pack for a war I now know is coming. When Simon reappears with his same practiced charm, I play along, accepting his invitation to the Crescent Festival — and his public proposal — with calculated precision instead of naive devotion. Stella is there too, and she remembers everything from our first life, including the murder. With her once-victim now forewarned and her rival still very much alive, Stella makes clear she's willing to kill me all over again. Armed with foreknowledge but facing an enemy who shares it, I must decide how far she's willing to go to survive — and win — this time.
