Le troisième jour de mon confinement postnatal, mon mari prétendait qu’il devait partir en voyage d’affaires en urgence, me laissant seule pour m’occuper du bébé. Trois jours plus tard, lorsque j’ai été hospitalisée, j’ai vu une photo de famille sur les réseaux sociaux, publiée par l’amie d’enfance de mon mari, avec la légende : « Photo prise en voyage, une famille heureuse de trois. » Sur la photo, mon mari s’est affiché tout sourire. Fort surprise, j’ai commenté par un point d’interrogation. Il m’a immédiatement appelée pour me réprimander : « Elle est une pauvre mère célibataire, sans homme pour s’occuper d’elle. Cette photo ne signifie rien. Ne sois pas mesquine ! » Le soir, son amie d’enfance a posté une nouvelle photo : un ensemble de trois bijoux en or d’une valeur de plusieurs millions. « Après la photo de famille, il a insisté pour m’offrir ces magnifiques bijoux. » C’était un cadeau pour faire plaisir à sa maîtresse, je le savais bien. Enfin, j’ai décidé de quitter mon mari.

« Tu n’es pas seulement une humaine, mais tu es aussi faible et fragile, tellement différente de mon espèce. » Il cria et la plaqua contre le mur tandis que son loup hurlait en lui, mais il l’ignora complètement et plongea son regard dans le sien, rempli de peur et de douleur. « Je ne t’accepterai jamais comme ma mate, non pas parce que tu es humaine, mais parce que tu n’es absolument pas mon genre. J’aime quelqu’un d’autre et c’est elle que je ferai mienne. » Il hurla ces mots avec une rage telle que ses genoux tremblèrent de peur. •••• Alpha Eric haïssait et rejetait sa mate dès le premier jour où il posa les yeux sur elle, et il était prêt à tout pour la chasser de sa vie. Mais tout changea lorsqu’il la retrouva dans un club BDSM et dut se dissimuler derrière un masque.

Cela faisait cinq ans qu'ils étaient mariés. Un jour, trouvant trop amers les comprimés de vitamine C que son mari lui préparait, Tiphaine, inquiète, s'est rendue à l'hôpital avec le flacon. Le médecin l'a examiné et a secoué la tête : « Ce ne sont pas des vitamines C. » « Quoi ? Vous en êtes certain ? » « Madame, je vous l'ai répété plusieurs fois », a-t-il insisté en désignant l'objet, « Contenu ici : du misoprostol. Une consommation excessive provoquerait non seulement la stérilité, mais aussi des dommages corporels graves. » La gorge nouée, Tiphaine a serré le flacon si fort que ses jointures ont blanchi. « Impossible... C'est mon mari qui me les a préparés. Il s'appelle Gaëtan Cazal, il est aussi médecin dans cet hôpital. » Le regard du médecin est devenu soudain étrange, teinté d'une indéfinissable pitié. Il a eu un rire léger : « Je vous suggère de consulter un psychiatre. L'épouse de Gaëtan, nous la connaissons tous, elle a accouché il y a deux mois. Depuis quand est-il votre mari ? »

I came home a day early from my business trip and hid in the closet to surprise Eric Carter. At seven, he told the housekeeper to cook several dishes. At nine, he told me hoarsely that he had taken a bath and changed the bedsheets in my room. He was sure that I would love it. I did not believe him because I had heard him moaning in bed with Willow Summers for three hours from the closet. Willow Summers was his childhood sweetheart and my sister. I clicked on a webpage from my cell without hesitation. "Miss Summers, your appointment for creating a fake death has been confirmed. Time of Death: One week later Location of Death: The wedding hall on the top floor of the Century Building Cause of Death: Suicide from jumping off a building!"

At twenty-eight, I held the dubious honor of being the last unmarried socialite on New York's Upper East Side. Everyone around me was growing increasingly anxious about my single status. In my previous life, my mother arranged a matchmaking cocktail party, where I was told to choose a husband from ten handpicked elite bachelors. I bribed the event planner to place Mark West's profile at the very top—and as I had hoped, I chose him. After we married, Mark treated me with what seemed like tender affection. He even bought me an oceanfront villa in the Hamptons, making me believe I had finally found true love. But that illusion shattered the day I was nine months pregnant, just hours away from giving birth. Mark drove a scalpel straight into my abdomen—then, right in front of me, hurled our newborn onto the floor. "If you hadn't forced me into this marriage with your family's power, Sofia wouldn't have been heartbroken enough to go drinking and get drugged and assaulted. This… this is what you owe her!" He tossed the scalpel aside, then calmly let his private doctor pin down my blood-soaked body. I fought through excruciating pain for six agonizing hours, until I finally bled to death. Afterward, Mark dumped my corpse into the Hudson River. But for Sofia, he hosted a grand funeral—funded with my money, under my name—and paraded himself to the world as a grieving, devoted widower. Given a second chance at life, I refused to step foot in that cursed matchmaking event. Instead, I went straight to my mother with a demand: marry me to Robert Black—the most ruthless, cold-blooded titan of Wall Street, whose scarred face was feared by all. In the end, stripped of my financial backing, Mark's hedge fund collapsed. He became a disgraced fraudster, spat on by everyone on Wall Street.
