Die Zahlen

I'm a married woman who committed adultery shortly after getting married. In hindsight, the first time I came to close to cheating happened under my husband's orchestration…

Tres días antes de nuestra boda, mi prometido, Raphael Russo, fue asesinado en un tiroteo entre bandas. Ni siquiera encontraron su cuerpo. Mientras me ahogaba en el dolor, unos comentarios aparecieron frente a mis ojos: [¡Despierta, niña! ¡El ataúd está vacío! ¡Fingió su muerte! El infeliz huyó para estar con esa perra manipuladora de Chloe, la que finge estar enferma]. [Mientras tú te desmoronas llorando en el funeral, Raphael se está revolcando con Chloe en la cama de un hotel]. [Cuando regrese, dirá que tiene amnesia. No sabrás nada y lo perdonarás. Pobrecita...]. Un mes después, la noticia de mi matrimonio con el Don de la mafia, Marcello Falcone, se extendió por toda Nueva York. La mano derecha de Raphael me acorraló, furioso. —¿Cómo pudiste traicionar al Jefe? Sujeté con más fuerza el brazo de Marcello y sonreí. —Una mujer no puede guardar luto para siempre, ¿verdad? Estoy segura de que Raphael, en espíritu, se sentiría feliz por mí.

At the age when I should have been attending university, I was framed by my biological parents and sent to prison. My sister had been cruelly killed by her kidnappers when she tried to save me, and they blamed me for her death. On the day of my release, I was kidnapped and had one of my ears cut off. When I found the opportunity, I immediately called my father, asking him to save me. Instead, he snapped, saying, “You’re no longer my son! Don’t contact me!” I was then burned alive. After I died, my sister returned. However, when my parents found out that the charred corpse was mine, the family crumbled.

My boyfriend Julian is a chess grandmaster, a genius. At sixteen, he became the youngest grandmaster in North American history. I gave him ten years of my life, but a ring was never on the table. But when he reached the pinnacle of his career and won the Grand Slam, he still refused to break the pact he'd made with his family about his career. "According to my plan, I'm not considering marriage or any other form of long-term commitment until all my goals are achieved." I didn't argue with him. I quietly packed his luggage for the World Championship and wished him the best. He had no idea that at the very moment he was lifting the championship trophy with the world watching, I was dragging my failing body to sign my own name on a euthanasia consent form.

One week after my death, my husband, Christopher Ford, was making love on our bed with his one true love. His face showed pure satisfaction. "Finally, I don’t have to deal with that bar hostess anymore." Later, he held my belongings, weeping with regret. "Phoebe, why haven’t you come back?" It seemed he had forgotten that he had already pushed me to my death that night. I was forced to donate my bone marrow to his one true love, and I died, along with our unborn child.

So when she finally regained her hearing, she never expected the first thing she’d hear would be her husband’s betrayal Nathan, tangled in another woman’s arms, calling her a burden he was tired of carrying. That night, Rachel walked out with nothing but a broken heart and a body already marked as sacrifice. Nathan thought that was the end of her story, but he was wrong. Years later, Rachel returns not as the woman he discarded, but as Belira Williams, the hidden heiress of DroneCode, the most powerful tech empire in the world. Richer, colder, and untouchable. This time, she isn’t here to beg for any reason. She’s here to ruin him for good. With secrets sharp enough to destroy reputations and a past Nathan never bothered to uncover, Rachel begins her revenge, slow, deliberate, and merciless. He once called her useless, now she’s the woman standing between him and everything he thought he owned. And this time… she’s not leaving quietly.

I am the daughter of the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, my parents are very rich, but I have nothing. When black magic was eating away at me with a month to live, I asked to borrow ten dollars and they said I was "not worthy." I dragged my sickly body to buy the cheapest herbal medicine, but I saw them spending billions of dollars to celebrate my foster sister Vivian's 18th birthday. Tears streamed down my face, I just wanted to spend ten dollars on a piece of fabric and make my own ceremonial robe, even though I wouldn't live to be eighteen.

"Mi íncubo llegó hace un mes y todavía no deja que lo toque. ¿Por qué pasa esto?" Escribí al asesor con el ceño fruncido, ya perdiendo la paciencia. La respuesta del agente no tardó en llegar, redactada con esa cortesía empalagosa de siempre. "Señorita, nuestras unidades suelen estar ansiosas por convivir con sus dueñas. Si el suyo se comporta así, lo más probable es que esté defectuoso. Si gusta, podemos tramitar el cambio ahora mismo. El nuevo le estaría llegando en una semana." Me quedé mirando a Diego. Era perfecto, tal como lo había soñado siempre. No podía con el pensamiento de devolverlo. Decidí darle un voto de confianza y esperar unos días más. Si de plano no funcionaba, intentaría mandarlo a reparar. Me encantaba demasiado como para rendirme así de fácil. Pero todo se fue al carajo durante la cena familiar. Fue ahí donde sentí un nudo en el estómago al darme cuenta de que mi íncubo tuvo una reacción al ver a mi hermanastra... que estaba sentada justo frente a él. En ese momento, caí en cuenta: el día que llegó el paquete, fue ella quien lo abrió. Esa misma noche, volví a contactar al asesor. "¿Me confirman que el nuevo llega en una semana? Olvídenlo, mándenme el reemplazo de una vez."
