An meinem Hochzeitstag wurden mein Verlobter und meine jüngere Schwester Rachel erwischt, wie sie leidenschaftlich in der privaten Lounge miteinander schliefen. Ich war zur Lachnummer für alle geworden, doch dann machte mir mein Jugendfreund Jason Law vor allen Augen einen Heiratsantrag und stellte sich schützend vor mich. Nachdem wir geheiratet hatten, war er der perfekte Ehemann … außer im Schlafzimmer. Es wirkte immer, als wäre sein Herz nie wirklich dabei. Erst dieses Jahr, durch eine IVF-Behandlung, gelang es mir überhaupt, schwanger zu werden. Danach umsorgte und behütete er mich noch aufmerksamer als zuvor. Ich war überzeugt, bei ihm meine Heimat gefunden zu haben … Bis ich eines Tages zufällig mitbekam, wie er sich mit einem Freund unterhielt. „Jason, du bist wirklich skrupellos. Nina ist so gut zu dir. Wie konntest du einfach ihre Eizelle gegen Rachels austauschen, nur weil Rachel zu viel Angst vor der Geburt hat? Das Baby kommt in zwei Monaten zur Welt. Was willst du dann tun?“ Jason schwieg einen Moment, dann seufzte er. „Sobald das Baby da ist, gebe ich es Rachel. Damit erfülle ich ihr einen Herzenswunsch. Was Nina angeht … ich werde ihr einfach sagen, dass wir das Baby verloren haben. Ich werde es wieder gutmachen, indem ich für den Rest ihres Lebens bei ihr bleibe.“ Also so war das. Er hatte mich all die Zeit nur ihretwegen so behutsam beschützt. Ohne zu zögern ging ich weg und vereinbarte einen Termin für den Abbruch. Dieses unreine Kind wollte ich nicht. Und diese betrügerische Ehe erst recht nicht.

Selene Quinn Six years ago, I walked away from Lucien Ashbourne. No goodbyes. No confrontation. Just silence… and two unborn children he never knew about. They said I was lucky to marry into power — even though he was half-dead man. They didn’t see the contract, the coma, or the cold man who treated me like a threat. Even after I saved him. Now I’m back. Different name. Bigger title. And the first face I see on a Manhattan billboard? His. He doesn’t know I’m here. He doesn’t know we’re about to become competitors. And he has no idea what I’ve built while he was busy forgetting me. Lucien Ashbourne She left without a word. Good. She was a mistake forced into my life while I was too broken to stop it. But I never signed those divorce papers. And now… she’s back. New name. Same eyes. Running the company threatening my biggest deal. She’s hiding something. She always was. But this time, I won’t let her vanish. Not until I know why she left. Not until I remember what we did that night. Not until she realizes... she was mine all along.

After an accident and miscarriage, Hansel Saddler and I are so devastated that we're both diagnosed with depression. For the next five years, I try my best to act like I'm normal as I care for him and try to cheer him up. This lasts until I overhear him speaking to the psychologist at the clinic's door. "Work's been getting busy lately, and pretending to be depressed makes it inconvenient to deal with that. Can you change my diagnosis to manic disorder?" The psychologist giggles. "You have been quite manic lately, darling. You've been making me feel really sore down there." "I can make you feel even more sore now." Then, I hear moans and groans. It turns out everything I've done over the past five years is nothing but a joke. I pull up my conversation with Colin Foster. "I agree to undergo secluded treatment deep in the mountains abroad."

On my wedding day, my fiancé and my younger sister Rachel were caught doing the dirty in the private lounge. I immediately became a laughing stock, until my childhood friend Jason Law publicly proposed to me, defending my honor. After we got married, he was the perfect husband… except for his performance in the bedroom. It was like his heart was never in it. I only managed to get pregnant after going for IVF this year. After that, he became even more protective of me. I once believed he was my sanctuary… until I overheard his conversation with his friend. “You’re ruthless, Jason. Nina’s so good to you. How could you swap out her egg with Rachel’s just because Rachel is too afraid of the pain to give birth? “The baby’s due in two months. What do you plan to do then?” Jason was silent for a bit, then he sighed. “I’ll give Rachel the baby once it’s born. It’s one of her greatest wishes, after all. “As for Nina, I’ll tell her the baby died. “I’ll make it up to her by staying with her for the rest of her life.” So that was how it was. He only protected me so gently for her sake. I turned around and immediately made a surgery appointment. I was throwing away this filthy baby… and this false marriage.
