In the seventh year of our marriage, I caught Nolan Garrison kissing his secretary at a bar. He called me shortly after I walked away. "It was just a friendly kiss! What’s with the attitude?" he snapped through the phone. I could hear his friends in the background teasing him and saying that I would be madly jealous while pleading for him not to leave me tonight as usual. Before hanging up, Nolan warned me that he wouldn’t come home if I didn’t apologize. However, I wasn’t bothered by his threat. I didn’t care if he decided to come home or get a divorce. Three minutes later, I posted an update on my social media: “Prioritize self-love and grant others the freedom they seek.”

I shook my head as a dark chuckle escaped my lips. “I’m not her, Dimitri, can’t you see it? I will never be her,” My voice shook as I spoke, tears threatening to spill. Dimitri ran his fingers through his hair in distress. His usual cold demeanor slipping away as he walked towards me and grabbed me by my shoulder.

Mom dies of rage when she discovers that the bride at my wedding has become Nelly Johnson, Harvey Fisher's business partner. My wedding turns into Mom's funeral the moment she breathes her last breath. Despite that, Harvey insists that the ceremony continue as planned. He even orders me to put the wedding ring on Nelly's finger. "Hurry up and put it on! I'll explain everything to you tonight!" he snarls. I ignore him and leave the hotel with Mom's body in my arms. The wedding ends with a banging success at 8:00 pm. Nelly updated her social media with a post that's liked by tens of thousands of people. "I've finally married the light of my life!

York Langston locked me up for six months. Word on the street was he dropped over 100 million to buy me my own private island. Security here? Tight enough to rival the White House. Even a bird that flew past the area would get shot down on sight. But what nobody knew… All that luxury people envied? To me, it was just a gilded cage. It wasn't until he found a woman who looked almost like me that his interest began to fade. One day, she stormed the island with a gang at her back while he was away. She slashed my tendons and carved up my face with a blade before locking me inside a cage with a rabid dog. I was barely breathing by the time York finally found me. "York, this woman thought she could fool you by imitating me? She must be a spy! You'll have to flay her alive if you want her to talk!"

What is it going to take for a girl like me to truly be happy? I remember the saying, 'When life gave you lemons, make a really good lemonade...' Oh no...life handed me the lemons, and instead of making that lemonade, I got 2 overbearing cousins...Make that 3 overbearing cousins... and a mafia boss who finds me appealing enough to stalk me everywhere I go. My mother passed away, and I was left reeling in my emotions and grief, feeling lonely and confused about where I stand in a world so full of love and happiness. The first step to start my new job and ready to be back out in a life where I can be independent and provide for myself again, I do what most people grieving do. I get up and I survive with a smile on my face. The second step was fantasising about a decent coffee; my first stop was the café near my hotel. I was greeted by my cousin in the middle of said café and his boss, who so happens to be the Italian Mob boss...The one I called a moron. Biggest mistake going. An engagement party that turns my heart left on the sidewalk and a boss who doesn't see the pain of watching him kiss another woman. Leaving the party, I head home in hopes I never see him again...Until he was at my front door wanting me to go back to New York with him and work remotely from his place. It's a crazy idea, right? A crazy idea to even think I could pull off the life I always wanted and still be close to my only other family m
