After discovering that a large tumor had invaded her uterus—and that her already slim chance of becoming pregnant had been deliberately destroyed by the cruel conspiracy of her husband and his lover—Maisa was left facing the possibility that she might never be able to have a child. Driven by an overwhelming longing to become a mother, and following a successful surgery, she made the bold decision to undergo artificial insemination on her own in order to conceive. What followed was something she could never have anticipated. She stepped directly into the life of a man she had never imagined crossing paths with—and became pregnant with the child of an Alpha. Her unborn child would inherit Alpha blood. From that moment on, her journey of revenge against her ex-husband and her mission to protect her child truly began. Maisa was determined to repay every ounce of pain she had endured, to return the humiliation and suffering Brian had inflicted upon her to those who had destroyed her life.

When the revenge finally comes to an end, will Maisa and Airden be able to remain together, or will fate once again stand in their way?

After receiving the report for an STD test, I went back to the barbeque restaurant, and there I ran into a young woman who was about three months pregnant. She asked me to let her cut in line, and, feeling sorry for her, I agreed to help her out. I quickly made arrangements for her and made sure she had a seat. But to my shock, after she finished her meal, she had a miscarriage. The girl posted about the incident online, and before I knew it, I was trending on social media, facing a wave of cyberbullying. The internet users went even further, digging up my health records and finding that everything came back positive. [She's positive for everything—she's clearly a woman with a messy private life!] [No wonder she caused the woman's miscarriage just by being near her—she's a biological hazard!] The cyberbullying got so bad that it pushed me into depression. Even my fiancé turned against me, accusing me of being filthy and breaking up with me. The emotional weight became too much, and in my pain, I drove straight into a reservoir. Meanwhile, the girl gained millions of followers online and skyrocketed to fame as a popular influencer.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day when she asked me to let her cut in line.

“No! Please, Santiago--” I whimpered, as his hand seized my wrist with an iron grip, yanking me forward, dragging me effortlessly toward the chair he had pulled into the center of the room the night before. The symbol of my humiliation. He stopped right in front of the chair, spinning me around, facing him. "You want me to be your monster, mi ángel?" His hand grabbed my throat, tilting my chin up until my eyes locked with his dark gaze. I flinched from the sudden movement. "Cause I’ll be your favorite monster — just say the word, cariño." Santiago’s face hovered only inches from mine. His lips so close, I could taste the sweetness of his breath — once making butterflies take flight in my stomach, now curdling my insides into a cold, suffocating fear. Slowly, his free hand rose toward my face. I held my breath. His touch was deceptively soft and gentle, caressing my cheek. His thumb lingered against my lips, tracing them slowly, his eyes fixed there as he spoke — his voice soft, yet heavy with menace. "Divorce is not an option, mi amor. We took a vow five years ago. Remember?" He finally lifted his gaze to meet mine, catching every flicker of fear before he delivered his last words like a verdict: "Till death do us part."
