I'd been married to Joshua Merck for five years, but we still didn't have kids. To stay healthy, I took those pricey custom vitamins he ordered from overseas—never missed a dose. Then my cousin came back from studying abroad, took one look at the bottle, and was like, "That brand doesn't even make custom vitamins." I sent them to the hospital for testing. The lab report hit me like a truck—birth control pills. Powerful ones. Suddenly, all those mornings with Joshua hovering over me, acting so concerned while I took my "vitamins," made sense. The whole thing had been a lie. Five years of lies. Just as I was gearing up to confront him, my phone buzzed—a group chat notification. Shirley Hoare had tagged Joshua. [Honey, I had a prenatal checkup today, and the doctor said I'm carrying twins! Your family's about to get two grandchildren at once—excited?] My heart turned to ash. Everything clicked. Fine. We were done. I pulled out my phone and replied to my childhood sweetheart's message from three days ago: [After watching the northern lights, I still wanted to see penguins in Antarctica.]

As a zombie outbreak spreads across the world, my boyfriend insists on delaying our evacuation so his drama-queen childhood sweetheart can catch the last rescue chopper. However, this is the last evacuation after the outbreak, and our team's only chance to survive. When she still doesn't show up, I knock my boyfriend out and haul him onto the helicopter.

Since he's so determined to stand by his childhood sweetheart through thick and thin, I'll make sure they both become zombie food!

J'ai toujours fait ce qu'il fallait pour survivre. Orpheline, j'ai vite compris que mon corps, mon charme, mes ruses – tout – pouvait me permettre d'obtenir ce dont j'avais besoin. J'attirais les hommes, les droguais et leur prenais tout. C'était simple. Et ça marchait. Jusqu'à ce que je le rencontre. Logan Thorne. Le parrain impitoyable qui a percé mon secret. Quand j'ai tenté de le voler, tout a basculé. Il n'est pas tombé dans mon piège. Au contraire, il m'a attrapée. Et il a pris ce qu'il voulait. Mon innocence. Ma virginité. Cette nuit-là, mon monde s'est effondré. Maintenant, je suis prisonnière de son univers dangereux, forcée de vivre avec l'homme qui me possède. Il est possessif, froid et impitoyable. Mais il y a quelque chose dans son regard qui me retient, quelque chose que je ne peux ignorer. Et pourtant, je ne peux oublier la douleur du passé – le meurtre de mes parents. L'homme qui les a tués est en liberté, et je ne reculerai devant rien pour le retrouver.

In a luxury boutique, a male influencer and I are eyeing the same watch. I'm about to give it up when I hear the salesperson yell at me in a shrill voice, "Get your filthy hands off it right now! Mr. Parr saw it first. How dare you compete with him? He's an important customer of our store!" I freeze and see Alan Parr staring at me with utter disgust, his arms crossed. "You think a country bumpkin like you deserves that watch? Do you even know how much its accessories cost? A pauper like you definitely can't afford it!" he snaps, then holds up a card and signs the receipt. However, the name he signs is my wife's. The supplementary card he's holding is the one I gave my wife for her allowance.
