Right before graduation, my roommate waved around a job offer from some overseas company. It had a three-day workweek, with a starting salary of $50,000 a month. It sounded too good to be true, so I warned her it might be a scam. When she struck out on other job leads, I asked my dad to get her a position at his company. She scoffed at the eight-hour days and $6,000 monthly salary, calling it slave labor. Then she went live online, falsely accusing my dad of inappropriate advances and pressuring her to bear him a son. When skeptics questioned her, she swore no woman would lie about her honor. The internet erupted, branding my dad a predator. Our company collapsed under the backlash, leaving us drowning in debt. To spare me, my dad jumped from a rooftop to his death. Devastated, I wandered into traffic and was struck by a truck. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day Amber got that shady offer.

Après avoir obtenu mon diplôme, j'ai passé un an en stage avec mon mentor, un guérisseur, dans les Terres neutres – sans tribus, sans lois et sans gardes du corp pour me protéger. Mon frère, le Président Lycan de tous les loups-garous, en a presque perdu la raison. Il avait peur que je tombe amoureuse d'un rôdeur et que je forme impulsivement un lien de compagnon imprudent. C'est pourquoi il m'a personnellement choisi un compagnon – Arthur St-Clair, l'Alpha de la tribu la plus puissante du Nordlac. C'est un homme beau et dangereux, une figure légendaire. Mon frère m'a ordonné de rentrer à la maison pour la cérémonie d'union, donc je n'ai eu d'autre choix que d'aller choisir une couronne de Luna. À la bijouterie, mon regard a été immédiatement attiré par une couronne en argent pur et couverte de diamants. Juste au moment où j'ai tendu la main pour la prendre, une voix féminine stridente a retenti. « J'aime bien celle qu'elle tient. Je la prends. Donnez-la-moi. » Avant que je puisse réagir, le vendeur a arraché la couronne de mes mains, me griffant presque ma peau. Je me suis redressée, me forçant à rester calme. « Vous connaissez l'expression « premier arrivé, premier servi » ? C'est moi qui l'ai vue en premier. C'est comme ça que vous faites ici ? » La louve s'est tournée lentement vers moi, me lançant un regard moqueur. « Cette couronne coûte 300 000 euros. Tu es sûre de pouvoir te l'offrir, paysanne ? J'ai grandi avec l'Alpha de la tribu Lune Argentée, Arthur St-Clair. Ici, c'est moi qui fais les règles. » Je la regardais, manquant de rire aux éclats. N'était-ce pas absurde ? Après tout, Arthur était mon fiancé. J'ai sorti mon téléphone et j'ai appelé Arthur. « Écoute, Arthur. Ta chère amie d'enfance vient de voler la couronne de Luna que je veux porter pour notre cérémonie. Que penses-tu que je devrais faire ? »

To everyone else, I'm the wife of Stefano Pace, the man who runs this city's underworld. To others, I am living the kind of luxury every woman in town envies. But what no one knows is that in three days, I'm leaving my husband for good. It started when I took Stefano's car to wash and spotted a black stocking that wasn't mine wedged in the passenger seat cushions. It was balled up and still reeked of sickly sweet perfume. The sight of it was like a knife to the heart. I knew that perfume. It is Isla Torelli's. She's Stefano's underboss, the only woman besides me who's ever taken the passenger seat. My hand trembled as I gripped the stocking, but I kept my cool. I thought back to our wedding seven years ago, when Stefano stood in front of the whole family and vowed, "If I ever betray you, then betray me a hundredfold!" He probably did not think those words would come true.

What's the first thing you'd do if you were reborn? Me? I'd start by divorcing my husband, Finn Gallagher. Yeah, Finn Gallagher, the same man who runs half the underworld from behind closed doors. The Don. The richest man alive. The man women dream about; his face plastered on magazines, named "Sexiest Man Alive" five years in a row. In my last life, I tried everything to make him look at me like I mattered. I married him. I gave birth to his son. I swallowed every ounce of pride, trying to be the perfect wife. However, it didn't work. To him, I was no different than a waitress he might casually tip—forgettable, replaceable, invisible. So this time, I'm not begging. I'm not pretending. I'm handing Madeline Brooks the key to my place in his life, and walking away. She's Finn's first love, and also the shadow that haunted every day of my last life. Now Madeline was sitting opposite to me, blinked at me like she didn't hear me right. "You tried so hard to push me out," she said slowly, eyes narrowed. "Now you want me to be with Finn?" "Yes. That's all I'm asking. Just talk to Finn. Tell him to sign the divorce papers." I looked at her confused face and kept going. "Everyone knows I'm the last person who'd ever let Finn go. So if I say I want a divorce, he won't believe me for a second. But you? You're the one who can make that happen... aren't you?" She laughed, because she was finally getting her chance. I laughed too, because I was finally free.
