My sister was the golden child, the pride of our family, but she had a rare blood disorder that required treatments costing thousands every month. To keep her alive, I became her personal blood donor, working nonstop to pay for her care and delivering food all day and night. But one day, she nearly died from hemorrhaging after trying to abort a pregnancy. That’s when I learned the child she was carrying belonged to my boyfriend. When I confronted him, he didn’t even flinch. Instead, he dragged me to the operating table himself. “You were born to be her blood bank. Dying for her? It’s the best thing you’ll ever do.” I was left there, bleeding out, my life slipping away with every drop. But as death closed in, something changed. The people who once hoped I’d disappear—the ones who used me, betrayed me—they all began to unravel, losing their insanity.

In the third year of her marriage, Natalie Spencer uncovers a devastating truth. Her blindness wasn't caused by a car accident. No, it was because her beloved husband, Jason Pereira, plotted to have her corneas removed and transplanted them into his first love. The only reason he married her in the first place was to save that other woman. The marriage Natalie once took pride in turns out to be nothing but a calculated lie. Crushed, she quietly begins planning her escape. Half a month later, she vanishes without warning. She leaves behind nothing but a signed divorce agreement and a jar of formaldehyde containing an undeveloped embryo. Those are her final gifts to Jason. He loses his mind searching for her, scouring the world in desperation. But when he finally finds her, she's no longer alone. There's another man by her side. Jason stands in front of her, eyes red with guilt and regret. "Natalie, I was wrong. Please don't leave me. Not like this." But the Natalie standing before him now is radiant and powerful—she's an internationally acclaimed artist and a woman reborn. She looks at the man she once loved and feels nothing. "Jason, I'm not that blind bat who used to live and breathe for you anymore." She turns and wraps her arms around the regal man beside her with a smile. "Someone's bothering your wife. Aren't you going to deal with him?" The man smiles back, leans in, and kisses her in front of everyone. "Of course. Whatever my wife says, goes."

Avelina Ferguson, the daughter of a billionaire, was mistakenly placed in a situation that forced her despised father, whose desire for unending power drove him to make drastic decisions. She had become entangled with a man by accident, which resulted in them having an affair without their consent. An affair that should never have happened. This man, Lucian Zvetch, the world's wealthiest man and a Lycan king to his own kind, is forced by Avelina’s father to marry her as a way of taking responsibility for her. But being a man of his own actions who takes orders from no one, and definitely not a mere human at that, he disagreed. "As long as she’s not pregnant, I have no responsibility." He declared. Mr. Ferguson smiled as he stared at him. "We will see how you prove yourself innocent when I accuse you of raping my daughter. I have evidence as well, even though it may be false evidence. But it will do. So it's up to you, Lucian. Marry her and save both your face and mine, or... lose your respect before those who idolize you." Will Lucian swallow his pride and marry Avelina to save the reputation he has built up in the human world, or will he stand by his word? What will happen when Avelina finds out that she is not just a human but more than that? a creature that Lucian despises. A creature that has always been the nemesis of his kind for thousands of years. Will Lucian keep her when he discovers what she is? Or will he send her back to her father? And what will Avelina herself do when she discovers that Lucian has a dark secret of his own as well? His little secret, he calls it.
