On the night before Christmas, Aria Smith believes she is living the life she built with love, sacrifice, and quiet resilience. Married for eight years, a devoted mother to her eight-year-old daughter, and the primary provider in her household, Aria has learned to carry responsibility with grace. Her marriage may not be glamorous, but it is steady—or so she thinks. One dinner. One toast. One familiar promise. That is all it takes for her world to feel complete. Until a single message dismantles everything. What begins as an anonymous warning becomes undeniable proof that her husband has been living a double life, one funded by her success, hidden behind her trust, and thriving in the shadows of her marriage. As the truth unfolds through videos, transactions, and names she has never heard before, Aria is forced to confront a devastating reality: the man she loved is a stranger, and the life she believed in was built on a lie. With Christmas morning approaching and her daughter watching closely, Aria must decide what comes next: silence or confrontation, survival or transformation. But as the night deepens, it becomes clear that this betrayal is only the beginning, and the choices she makes now will change everything. The Night Before Christmas is a gripping emotional drama about marriage, deception, and the moment a woman realises her strength was never in question, only delayed.

Ich war seit drei Jahren mit dem besten Freund meines Bruders, Emilio Slater, zusammen, aber er war nie bereit, unsere Beziehung öffentlich zu machen. Trotzdem habe ich nie an seiner Liebe zu mir gezweifelt. Schließlich war er vor mir mit 99 Frauen zusammen, doch wegen mir hörte er auf, sich für irgendwen sonst zu interessieren. Selbst wenn ich nur leicht erkältet war, ließ er milliardenschwere Projekte stehen und eilte nach Hause, um sich um mich zu kümmern. Doch an meinem Geburtstag, als ich voller Vorfreude dabei war, Emilio von meiner Schwangerschaft zu erzählen, vergaß er zum ersten Mal meinen Geburtstag und verschwand spurlos. Die Haushälterin sagte mir, er sei zum Flughafen gefahren, um jemanden Wichtiges abzuholen. Ich hetzte dorthin und sah ihn mit Blumen in der Hand, das Gesicht voller nervöser Erwartung, wie er auf eine Frau wartete – eine, die mir erschreckend ähnlich sah. Später erzählte mir mein Bruder, sie sei Emilios erste Liebe, die eine, die er nie vergessen könne. Wegen ihr stellte Emilio sich gegen seine Eltern, und als sie ihn verließ, brach er völlig zusammen. Danach suchte er 99 Frauen, die ihr ähnelten, um die Leere zu füllen. Mein Bruder sprach voller Bewunderung über Emilios tiefe Hingabe, ohne zu ahnen, dass ich nur eine dieser Ersatzfiguren war. Ich beobachtete Emilio und seine erste Liebe lange, sehr lange. Dann ging ich ohne zu zögern zurück ins Krankenhaus. „Herr Doktor, ich will dieses Kind nicht mehr.“

Am Abend vor der Hochzeit, der Verlobte, Professor für Geschichte, Theo Günther, feierte jedoch mit seiner krebskranken erste Liebe eine traditionelle Hochzeit in einem abgelegenen Dorf. Er hielt die Hand von Julia Richter unter dem Sternenhimmel und lächelte sanft: „Nach der Tradition gilt die, die zuerst heiratet, als die rechtmäßige Frau. Selbst wenn ich bereits ein Zertifikat mit Elina Meyer habe, bleibt sie nur eine niedere Konkubine.“ Mit den Glückwünschen der Anwesenden tranken sie den Hochzeitswein und betraten das Brautgemach. Ich jedoch, sah alles ohne zu weinen oder zu schreien, reservierte ruhig einen Termin für die Abtreibung. Von fünfzehn bis dreißig Jahren habe ich Theo fünfzehn Jahre lang geliebt. Doch in seinem Herzen hatte immer nur meine Stiefschwester Julia Richter ihren Platz. Wenn dem so ist, lasse ich los. Später trat ich der isolierten geologischen Forschungseinheit in der Antarktis bei, ließ Theo nur einen Scheidungsvertrag und ein Scheidungsgeschenk. Doch aus irgendeinem Grund, Theo Günther, der mich stets verachtete, erlangte plötzlich weißes Haar in einer einzigen Nacht.

On the third day of kneeling before the statue of the Moon Goddess and praying for Ryan Summers, a sudden row of glowing text appeared right in front of my eyes. [Ryan really is a piece of trash. His little childhood sweetheart, Rowena Blake, ran off the moment she learned he was going to hold a bonding ceremony, so he actually faked his own death just to chase her.] [Ryan and Rowena are out there whispering sweet nothings to each other under the flowers and moonlight, while Jenna Cuttridge cried her eyes nearly blind over that scumbag.] [Too bad Jenna never finds out that Ryan tricked her. When he comes back from playing dead, she even happily marries him.] So this was the miracle the Moon Goddess had bestowed upon me. Thunderstruck, I grabbed my phone and called my Alpha father, Jake Cuttridge. "Dad, remember that alliance bonding you mentioned last time? I agree to it." Half a month later, the news that I would be entering an alliance bonding with an Alpha from the Northridge Pack spread throughout the entire wolf kingdom. Ryan's friend, Luke Carter, who had been in on his plan, rushed over and demanded, "Ryan just died not long ago, and you're already so eager to find the next guy?" "He's dead. I can't possibly stay single for him my whole life."

Even though I knew cows were sacred to the Indorians, I still supported their biological daughter in her plan to serve beef at the dinner table of Indoria's wealthiest man. In my previous life, the wealthiest man in Indoria had held a nationwide contest to choose a wife. My sister had fought her way to the final round and planned to make a beef and veggie stew for the ultimate cooking challenge. I rushed to stop her, warning that in Indoria's religion, cows were considered holy, and eating beef could have serious legal consequences. However, my sister thought I was deliberately humiliating her for being "uncultured." In a fit of anger, she ran out, only to be struck and killed by a car. My adoptive parents tried to console me, telling me it was not my fault, that it was simply bad luck. Later, thanks to my exceptional cooking skills, I became the wife of Indoria's wealthiest man. Yet on the very day of my wedding, my adoptive parents sold me to the slums. That night, as eight men assaulted me one after another, I cried and demanded to know why. They kicked me viciously and spat: "If you hadn't made things difficult for Janet, she wouldn't have died. You owe her this!" By the end of that night, I had bled to death. Meanwhile, my adoptive parents used the money given by Indoria's wealthiest man to build a lavish tomb for their biological daughter. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day my sister was about to serve her beef and veggie stew to Indoria's wealthiest man.

In der Nacht vor meiner Hochzeit zerbrach mein Leben auf die brutalste Weise. Ich kam früher nach Hause als erwartet und fand den Mann, den ich heiraten wollte, im Bett mit meiner eigenen Cousine. Verraten, gedemütigt und mit gebrochenem Herzen rannte ich davon — ohne zu wissen, wohin ich gehen sollte. In derselben Nacht führte mich das Schicksal zu einem mächtigen, unantastbaren Mann mit kalter Ausstrahlung und einem gefährlichen Blick: seinem Chef, einem gefürchteten und hoch angesehenen CEO. Was als ein einziger Fehler begann, wurde zu einem Wendepunkt, den ich niemals rückgängig machen konnte.
