In the third year of her marriage to Anthony Lancaster, Simone Nolan is still the envy of every woman in Avenport. "Mr. Lancaster treats Mrs. Lancaster so well! Last time, she just coughed once, and he immediately gave her a full physical." "She married the nation's most authoritative doctor, after all. May I be this blissful in my next life!" Simone smiles, long used to the nurses' chatter. She's about to push the door open when she hears an argument inside. She falters. "Mr. Lancaster, are we still going to terminate Mrs. Lancaster's pregnancy later? This is already the third time!" "I've already told you that whenever Simone gets pregnant, an abortion has to be performed, no matter how many times." Anthony's cool voice pierces Simone's ears. Her face instantly becomes ashen. "But why? She has always wanted to have your children." Anthony's tone is icily sharp. "It's because of that surgery three years ago. I removed one of Simone's kidneys and gave it to Winona."

Seven years ended with one ringtone at the altar. One quiet apology, then he walked away to the pregnant ex he once called a mistake, leaving me beneath crystal lights and camera flashes, the perfect discarded bride. Publicly humiliated. I made a decision that shocks them all. I married Adrian, Marcus’s estranged elder stepbrother, the self-made billionaire their father once discarded. Cold. Untouchable. Far more powerful than the heir who betrayed me. Our marriage is a contract. He needs stability to secure his corporate takeover. I need a throne high enough to watch Marcus fall. But our 'fake' touches turn into an obsession neither of us can control. Now I’m carrying Adrian’s child the true firstborn heir of the legacy built on betrayal And this time, I’m not the woman left behind. I'm the prize.

Il est maudit. Elle est une esclave. Leur lien interdit sauvera leur monde ou le mettra le feu. Caeser Varyn, le formidable roi Alpha, est une figure de peur, son sang même entaché par une malédiction qui a réclamé tous les compagnons que la déesse de la Lune lui a donné.

Ava est un fantôme dans le palais royal - une esclave invisible avec une grâce tranquille et un pouvoir caché. Lorsque la marque d'accoutement de la déesse de la lune apparaît sur son poignet, Céser brise les lois anciennes et la revendique comme la sienne. Leur union interdite enflamme une tempête de feu, les forçant à fuir le palais en feu et l'indignation de la meute. Il s'est avéré qu'elle est douée par la déesse de la lune et pour survivre, Ava doit maîtriser le pouvoir qu'elle ne savait pas qu'elle possédait, exposer les traîtres qui les entourent et trouver un moyen de briser la malédiction ancestrale. Si elle échoue, son amour sera consumé et leur monde tombera au pouvoir sombre d'un dieu corrompu.

"Aku hanya tak terima diputuskan begitu saja. Aku bahkan tak tahu letak kesalahanku dimana." Steve memainkan kaleng sodanya yang sudah tandas. "Kau tak memiliki salah apapun," balas Lynn. Rasanya Lynn ingin mengatakan bahwa Rose memang tak pantas untuk Steve, Rose tak pantas mendapat cinta Steve. Namun, kalimat itu hanya menggantung di kepalanya. Dia tak mungkin berani mengatakan hal itu pada Steve. "Aku bisa membantumu ... move on dari dia!" ujar Lynn sontak Steve memandangnya. Tatapannya redup, berkabung luka patah hati. Lynn membalas tersenyum, mengangguk menyakinkan Steve bahwa dia benar-benar bersungguh-sungguh dengan ucapannya. Steve menghela napas kasar. Seluruh jiwanya direbut Rose, apakah masih ada cela melupakannya? Steve bahkan tak yakin dengan dirinya sendiri.
