Ils l'ont jetée dans les ténèbres parce qu'elle ne valait rien à leurs yeux. Pendant dix ans, Ivy n'a pas vécu ; elle a pourri. Dans la chambre la plus sordide d'une maison close, son corps fut un territoire d'oubli, son visage une carte que personne ne voulait mémoriser. Mais dans ses yeux, une flamme a brûlé, alimentée par chaque humiliation, chaque rire méprisant. Sa laideur était sa prison, mais elle deviendrait son arme. Elle a compté les jours, les heures, les souffrances. Elle a thésaurisé chaque billet souillé comme une balle pour son futur revolver. Sa vengeance serait une œuvre d'art, et elle en serait le chef-d'œuvre. L'argent a acheté un nouveau visage. Une beauté de glace et d'acier, une arme de séduction massive. Elle n'était plus l'ombre ignorée ; elle était un fantôme taillé pour hanter un seul homme : Alexander Vance. L'homme qui possédait tout. L'homme qui l'avait possédée, sans même le savoir. Il l'a remarquée. Désirée. Possédée à nouveau, croyait-il. Il a cru offrir un bijou à sa maîtresse. Il ne savait pas qu'il serrait sur son cœur le serpent qui allait l'étrangler. Maintenant, installée dans le cœur de son empire, Ivy sourit. C'est un sourire qui cache l'écho des chaînes. Chaque mot doux est un poison. Chaque caresse, un coup de couteau. Elle le dépouille, pièce par pièce. Elle corrompt ses alliés, vend ses secrets, sape sa fortune. Elle n'est pas une amante. Elle est un cancer. Sa vengeance ne sera pas un meurtre. Ce sera une dissection. Elle veut le voir à genoux, ruiné, regardant son monde s'écrouler et comprenant, trop tard, qu'il a été détruit par l'ombre qu'il n'avait même pas daigné regarder. La chute commence !

HE WOULD DO ANYTHING TO PROVE TO HER THAT HE CHANGED... Andrea Vamcap has done everything to leave her high school life behind. Now, she is a successful lawyer and can help the defenseless, just as she once was. The past, however, seems terribly willing to continue to bother her using her teenage bully, Gabriel Ferrars. As in the past, he is influential and powerful enough to continue to torment her even though he's not present, but Andy doesn't care about that. Now, she is able to defend herself. However, in a sadistic stroke of fate, she is forced to look for him to try to save her family... And the only thing he seems to want is for Andy to stay by his side, although she doesn't understand why. The past has haunted Gabriel Ferrars since the day the girl he used to bully saved his life, making him realize the gravity of the mistakes he made. People might think that the only reason he's still so obsessed with her even after ten years is because he wants her forgiveness, but Gabriel knows better. He knew the name of what he felt in the past and knows it now, even though there will never be an opportunity for him to redeem himself with Andy. Or at least, that's what he thought, until she shows up at his office. And, even though he knows he shouldn't, Gabriel can't help but use that gift fate has given him to keep her by his side, just long enough for him to prove how sorry he is... Although, deep down, he knows her forgiveness won't be enough. This book is connected with“How to Divorce a Grumpy Billionaire", but the two stories can be read separately.

My boyfriend has always doted on me. However, after learning that I can't go to work at the bank after falling and injuring myself, he snaps at me. "Why didn't you tell me you switched shifts with someone else? That was a cheap move!" I don't refute him. Instead, I pull out a hospitalization record as I watch the bank descend into chaos. In my past life, I attended to a couple who wanted to deposit five million dollars into their account. Their child had been diagnosed with a rare illness. They'd gotten the money by selling their organs and mortgaging the home—it was to save their child's life and pay for the surgery the following day. However, the money was stolen the following day. I helped them check where the money was withdrawn, but the surveillance footage showed I was the one who did it. My best friend wept when the couple questioned me. "You shouldn't have stolen the money someone needed to save a life, no matter how materialistic and covetous you are!" My boyfriend hurried over and said, "I wondered why you suddenly had money to buy a car—you stole it! You're heartless!" The child died after failing to receive treatment in time, and the couple stabbed me to death on the streets out of devastation. When I open my eyes again, I think injuring myself will help me escape this. To my surprise, the surveillance cameras once again capture me stealing the money.

My mother-in-law got kidnapped, but my powerful husband, who ran both sides of the law, was too busy throwing a birthday bash for his old flame's dog. The kidnappers warned them they'd kill her if he didn't show up. I didn't beg him to act because, in my past life, I dragged him away from that party despite being eight months pregnant to save his mom. His old flame, who tagged along, got spotted by the kidnappers' lookout. They assaulted her and brutally killed her. Her body parts were left to be eaten by dogs. Furious, he gunned down the culprits and vanished for a month. When he returned, he never mentioned it. Then I gave birth to our son and was full of joy. But he threw me into the woods, weak and defenseless. Wild animals tore me apart, leaving nothing behind. "You were jealous of Alicia and had the kidnappers kill her?" he accused. "You don't deserve her happiness." When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day his mom got kidnapped.

« Le jour de la cérémonie de marquage, mon compagnon a été surpris en train de s'accoupler avec ma sœur Rosé dans la cabine des demoiselles d'honneur. Je suis devenue la risée de toute la meute. Alors que je brûlais de honte, l'Alpha Nate est intervenu. Devant tous, il m'a marquée. Après notre union, il a été aux petits soins pour moi. Pourtant, nous n'arrivions pas à concevoir un enfant… jusqu'à ce que j'aie recours à la fécondation in vitro. Enfin enceinte, j'ai reçu encore plus d'attention : même dans son sommeil, il murmurait « mon trésor ». Je croyais que c'était un bonheur offert par la Déesse Lunaire. Jusqu'au jour où je l'ai entendu parler avec le Bêta Julien de la meute : « Nate, tu es cruel. Diana t'est si dévouée, et pourtant… juste parce que Rosé a peur de l'accouchement, tu as secrètement substitué les ovocytes pour que Diana porte son enfant ? Il naît dans deux mois… Comment comptes-tu gérer ça ? » Un silence, puis un soupir : « Dès la naissance, je le donnerai à Rosé. Elle mérite d'être mère. Pour Diana… Je dirai que le bébé est mort-né. Elle n'est qu'une Oméga rejetée par tous. L'épouser était déjà une charité. » À cet instant, j'ai compris : sa tendresse n'était qu'un mensonge. Je suis partie et ai pris rendez-vous pour une interruption volontaire. Cet « enfant souillé » ? Je n'en veux pas. Ce mariage hypocrite ? Encore moins. J'étais une Oméga, oui. Mais pas un jouet !

When my husband, Drake Connor, posted a photo of me on social media, this random woman mistook me for his mistress. She confronted me in the street, a baby in her arms and a crowd of relatives and friends in tow, ready to teach me a lesson. "You shameless tramp! How dare you seduce my husband!
