Two Steps Forward And Three Steps Back

What happens to a perfect housewife? After seven years of marriage, I am known as the perfect wife. I love my husband Ron, and I've always thought our marriage was perfect except for the lack of an heir. However, on our seventh anniversary, my husband told me that my little sister, Gina, was pregnant with his child. At this moment, I feel my world collapse! I frantically went to Gina's apartment to ask her why she was trying to break up my marriage, only to see her clutching her stomach as she lay on the floor in pain, and I was arrested as a murderer. “Let me out! I want to see my husband!” In prison, I found out that I was pregnant. I was anxious to tell my husband the news, but Gina's dagger came instead. At the moment of death, I shouted from the bottom of my heart: I am willing to pay any price to revenge. When I opened my eyes again, Ron was urging me to go to the funeral. What's going on? I'm back in my house? I grabbed my phone and looked at the date. It was seven days before our 7th anniversary. Yes, I was reborn, and this time I won't let it happen again. All those who betray me must be punished. But why is there a dangerous man following me?

Five years ago, Lily Evans gave everything to Ashton Kingston…the ruthless and untouchable CEO she had secretly loved for years. One night. That’s all she had with him. And by morning, she was fired. He didn’t even look at her as he threw her out of his company and out of his life. His engagement to a wealthy heiress was already set, and Lily was nothing more than an inconvenience. He knew how much she loved him, and that was precisely why he wanted her gone. Broken and discarded, Lily vanished. Now, she’s back…stronger, wealthier, and untouchable. No longer the timid assistant he once dismissed, she’s built an empire of her own and is guarding a secret that could shake Ashton’s world…her son. A son Ashton knows nothing about. When their paths cross again, Ashton’s engagement is over, his empire is crumbling, and the woman he once pushed away is now the only one he can’t live without. But Lily has no intention of forgiving him. Yet Ashton isn’t used to losing…especially when he realizes that the son she’s protecting might just be his.

Athijha Esmeray Alonso is a rising model who married her best friend for two main reasons. For her personal liking and to save her sister. It may be perfect for her sister but not for her. Ashton Exiquel Saavedra, her husband, is too cruel for her own good. But she chose to stay. She chose to stay because no one wants her back in her home. She chose to stay because of her intense feelings for him. Fate sure is playful. Betrayal after betrayal. Pain after pain. She committed suicide but the heavens did not allow her to leave the world. She woke up in a hospital without memories. She suffered from amnesia. Then they met again.

Separated by fate, haunted by the past– that's how they live. Until they met again; they built hatred, showed agony, betrayed friends, wanted to be loved, and learned how to sacrifice one's happiness. Remember those nights that I've been disturbing you, it's because I can't say what I need to say. Remember the time that I didn't disturb you; I'd been holding on so much, hoping that you'd be the one to call me first– and you did. Every time I hurt your feelings, I'm hurting too. I– I just don't know how to tell you the exact words, so I keep on annoying you. I'm sorry for all the troubles that I have caused– "I know," I said, and I hugged him. I can sense the same pain as what he is in my dream. Confessing is not bad. I'm just overwhelmed because I feel the same way. "I like you too, Alex. I don't know how, I don't know why but that's how I felt. I hate you harassing and annoying me but I missed it when you don't!" I smiled. Their fate is twisted.

After becoming pregnant, my mate Derek transformed from a notorious playboy into the perfect devoted partner. He dismissed all his lovers and stayed by my side constantly, attending to every detail of my care with meticulous attention. Everyone marveled at his dramatic change, claiming he had truly fallen in love and reformed because of me. Three days before I gave birth to our pup, I heard him on a phone call. "Derek, that orphaned omega your mate sponsored is looking for you again. The girl's devoted enough - still chasing after you after all these years." Derek scoffed coldly. "Don't mention her again. If it weren't for accumulating good karma for my unborn pup, I'd never spend another penny on any other she-wolf." But on the night before my delivery, after he received a message from that omega, he decisively abandoned me. "Sorry, Alpha Derek. My bone marrow compatibility test failed. Thank you for sponsoring me all these years. I'm sorry that I can't accompany you anymore." During the storm, he left me alone deep in the forest. I called him desperately through our mindlink, but he had blocked me completely - every attempt met with cold silence. The rogue wolves found me in my vulnerable state. Their attack was merciless, and my body, heavy with pregnancy, couldn't defend itself. The trauma was too much. When I woke up again in the healing center, my pup was gone. Derek gave me the mate bond severance agreement with red-rimmed eyes. "The girl is stubborn and gets upset whenever she hears your name. Once she can accept you, I'll mark you again." Finally heartbroken, I left him behind. Three years later, I was at an auction house with my sister-in-law, my belly round with pregnancy again, when violent sounds erupted behind us. Derek stared fixedly at my swollen belly, his whole body trembling. "Whose pup is in your belly?"
