Galata Ferrari has been married for eight years to Matteo Sebastini, the man she has loved for as long as she can remember, to whom she has dedicated her entire life, and for whose sake she set aside all her goals. With a three-year-old child and another pregnancy, she believes her life is exactly as she always dreamed, until she overhears a conversation between her husband and his best friend. He reveals that he married her out of spite, believing that the woman he truly loved had betrayed him. However, this woman returns, and with her return, the happiness Galata felt collapses like a house of cards, as he realizes he is still in love with his ex-girlfriend. Matteo finds himself torn between love and duty; he thinks he will ultimately choose love, but later he realizes his true feelings. By then, it is too late, and the divorce has already been signed. What will Matteo do to win back his true love? Will Galata return to him, or will she dedicate herself to achieving all the goals she had left behind?

I knew perfectly well that people from the Emirates do not eat pork. Yet this time, I watched in silence as my husband's childhood sweetheart insisted on placing a pork dish on the table. In fact, I even supported her decision. In my past life, when our company hosted a welcome banquet for powerful investors from the Emirates, she had been desperate to flaunt her cooking. Against all reason, she forced a pork dish onto the menu. I stopped her then. I explained that pork was forbidden by religious belief, and that offending the investors could cost us everything. If they withdrew their funding, the company's finances would collapse overnight. She took my warning as jealousy. In a fit of rage, she ran out of the banquet hall and was struck by a car, leaving her in a permanent vegetative state. I thought my husband would break down. Instead, he remained calm, stayed through the dinner, and secured the investment in surprisingly calmness. The truth revealed itself later. After the company went public, he brought me abroad under the guise of business, only to drag me onto a medical ship in international waters. As my kidney was cut from my body, I cried and asked him why. His answer came with a slap. "If you hadn't been jealous back then... If you hadn't tried to sabotage her, she wouldn't have ended up like that." I died in agony on the operating table. After my death, he used the money from selling my organs to cure his beloved childhood sweetheart, and the two of them went on to live rich, comfortable lives together. And then I opened my eyes again, back to the very day she decided to serve pork to the clients.

One night. One thousand dollars. One betrayal that shattered my world. David Richard was the "Alpha King" of Forestwood—my step-brother, my protector, and the man who sold my virginity for a bet. I was the "Charity Girl," a pawn in his cruel game of dominance. But while he was playing with my heart, I was learning his secrets. Now, the game has changed. I’m no longer the broken girl in the boathouse; I’m the woman holding the keys to his empire. My father’s death wasn't an accident, David isn't who he thinks he is, and the "Step-brother" I once loved is now the man I've sworn to destroy. From the elite hallways of Forestwood to the dark-web bunkers of a global conspiracy, our war is fueled by a desire so toxic it’s addictive. He wants my forgiveness; I want his absolute ruin. He thinks he can claim me again, but he’s about to learn the ultimate truth: In a world built on lies, the only thing more dangerous than his obsession is my revenge. Step-brother, I'll be your regret. And I'm going to make every second of it burn.

I was nine months along and ready to give birth, but my husband, Sean Conner, had me locked in the basement storage room and told me to hold the baby in. He said it was because his late brother’s wife, Quinn Faber, was also due today. Years ago, Sean and his brother had agreed that the first child born to the Conners would be raised as the heir and inherit the family inheritance. “Quinn’s baby must come first,” Sean said as if it were nothing. “She lost her husband and has nothing. You already have my love. It’s only right that the inheritance goes to her child.” The pain from the contractions folded me over, and I cried, begging him to take me to the hospital. He wiped my tears with a dangerously calm voice. “Stop the act,” he snapped. “I always knew you didn’t love me. All you care about is money and status. You forced labor to happen early so you could steal my nephew’s place… How can you be so cruel?” White-faced and shaking, I managed to whisper, “I can’t control when a baby comes. It’s a coincidence. I swear I don’t care about the inheritance. I love you!” He let out a cold laugh. “If you loved me, you wouldn’t have pushed Quinn to sign that contract relinquishing her child’s inheritance. Fine. Once she has her baby, I’ll come back for you. After all, the child in your belly is my blood.” Sean stayed outside Quinn’s delivery room. Only after the newborn arrived did he remember me. He ordered his secretary to take me to the hospital, but the secretary’s voice trembled as he said. “Madam… and the baby… They’re both gone…” At that moment, Sean lost his mind.
