Hindi kaagad niya napansin ang naging pagbabago rito, hanggang sa para nalang itong bomba na sumabog sa mukha niya. Her husband is cheating on her, at alam ito halos ng lahat ng mga kaibigan nila maliban sa kanya. Nang kinompronta niya ito ay madiin nitong itinatanggi ang mga paratang niya, kahit pa ba matibay ang mga ebidensyang nakakarating sa kanya. Dahil sa sakit, pumayag si Althea sa prinopose ng mother-in-law niya, ang sikretong papirmahin ng annulment papers si Hendrix at siya na raw ang bahala rito. Kapalit ng pagpayag niya ay ang malaking halaga na ibibigay ng mother-in-law niya. Pero sapat nga bang kabayaran ang pera para sa sakit ng pagtataksil ng asawa na noon ay labis niyang minahal?

Following an army mission, I ended up spending three years in a coma. After regaining consciousness, I request a temporary leave from the hospital. I sneak over to the army base where my wife, Major Alicia Connor, is stationed. With my heart bursting with joy, I prepare to give her a surprise—only to spot her on the training grounds, cradled in the arms of another man while he does his squats. The newly recruited soldiers cheer them on, saying, "Kiss her! Kiss her!" I figure they're just joking around, but Alicia proceeds to kiss the man without any hesitation. Still clinging to hope, I tell the soldier on guard to tell Alicia to come out and see me. Instead, it's that man, Steven Greene, who shows up. He gets the other soldiers to press me in the mud, snarling menacingly, "He's the monster who kept stalking Alicia three years ago and took advantage of her when she was drunk!" He stomps on the bouquet of asters I bring with me, driving them into the mud as well. "How dare a scar-faced cripple like you set your sights on Alicia? She's the youngest female major in the history of the army! "I'm going to make it clear to you today that Alicia isn't someone a loser like you can get any ideas about!" Blood sputters from my mouth as they give me a good thrashing. The bones in my already injured leg split and fractured even more. But what Steven doesn't know is the fact that, without me, Alicia can't even remain in the army, let alone be a major.

In my past life, right before sitting for the college entrance exams, my best friend, Lily Shaw, and I made a pact. We promised that once we got into college, we would study finance and make a fortune. But because my exam went smoothly and I was the first to leave the exam room, I ended up on camera for an interview. Somehow, I blew up overnight. Years later, I became a top celebrity, while Lily was sent to prison for financial fraud. When she got out, I gave her a million dollars to help her get back on her feet. She repaid me by quietly forging lies about me, whipping up a wave of online hate, and doing everything she could to destroy me. I traced the truth and confronted her, but she snapped back at me, "What gives you the right to stare down at me from your lofty throne and throw me scraps, Hannah Linden? I'm prettier than you, and my grades were better than yours. Why did you get the better life?" She laid out a plan to get back at me. She knocked me out and slashed my face. She also gouged out my eyes and cut out my tongue before stuffing me into a freezer, leaving me there to freeze to death. When I open my eyes again, I find myself reborn in my senior-year classroom. There's just over a month left for the college entrance exams. I look at Lily, who sits to my left and whispers to me. I smile at her, my eyes glinting with ice and venom.

My grandma and I were on a perfect beach in Golden Bay. The sun warmed my skin, the sand was soft beneath my feet, and she was resting peacefully nearby. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my mind. A mind link. It was Brenda. Assistant to my mate, Gideon, the Alpha Heir. The image she sent was horrifying. An old woman in simple clothes, lying in a pool of her own blood. Deep gashes, down to the bone, from a silver-laced weapon. Brenda's voice echoed in my head, dripping with arrogance. “Cora, do you Omegas do anything but freeload?” “Gideon just bought this estate, and you’re already letting your pack-leeching relatives squat here? As the Alpha’s assistant, it's my duty to protect his land from trespassers.” “This is what happens when you trespass on an Alpha’s private property!” I froze. I looked over at the sun umbrella. My grandma, Maria, was napping peacefully. I replayed the image from the link. My blood ran cold. That face… bloody and broken, but I knew it. I would never mistake it. It wasn't my grandmother. It was Eleonora. Gideon’s grandmother. A rival pack had attacked her months ago. Her wolf was weakened. She was in a pack clinic. Her mind-link was damaged. She could only receive, not send. Today… she was supposed to come home. I pushed back against the link with all my strength. “Brenda, are you insane? Look who you hit! That's Eleonora! Gideon's grandmother!” Brenda cut the link. Her last words were cold and stupid. “Gideon made it clear. Your family is your problem. His family is his. He doesn’t claim trash like them.”

Meu pai era o Don da família Moretti e o padrinho que mandava em todo o império da máfia. Minha mãe era a chefe da família Carter e a presidente do Conselho da Corporação Multinacional Carter. Eles tinham escolhido dois noivos para mim. Um era Damian, o CEO mundialmente famoso da Corporação Aegis. O outro era Caesar, uma figura temível que controlava todo o comércio clandestino de armas. No dia do banquete do meu vigésimo aniversário, aquele com quem eu escolhesse me casar se tornaria o padrinho que governaria todo o império da máfia. Todo mundo ficou em choque quando eu escolhi Caesar, sem hesitar. Eu tinha amado Damian profundamente desde a infância e, um dia, tinha jurado que só me casaria com ele. Mas eles não faziam ideia de que eu tinha regressado do futuro. No passado, eu me casei com Damian, como sempre quis. Só que, na nossa noite de núpcias, ele me traiu com a minha criada. Depois, minha família descobriu e demitiu a criada. Eles a expulsaram de casa. Damian me odiou por causa disso. Quando eu engravidei, ele levou mulheres diferentes para casa todas as noites e dormiu com elas bem na minha frente. E, no dia em que tive um trabalho de parto difícil, ele desviou todos os recursos médicos. Ignorando minhas súplicas, ele fez com que eu e meu filho, que ainda não tinha nascido, sofrêssemos… e morrêssemos em agonia. Ao voltar ao passado, eu decidi dar a ele a liberdade que ele tanto parecia querer. Sem pensar duas vezes, eu escolhi Caesar para ser o meu noivo. Mas eu nunca imaginei que Damian também tinha renascido…
