When I was ten years old, both my parents passed away. My sister, Brianna, and I only had each other left. We were tormented at the orphanage before the Larsons adopted us. They doted on Brianna and me, and even allowed their daughter, Vivian Larson, to get engaged to me when I was 20 years old. It was a wonderful tale of love. Vivian didn't let any of us down. She would have given me the moon if she could, and she loved me with all her heart. During the ten years we spent with the Larsons, Brianna and I led a good life and never suffered at all. The night before we got married, Vivian took out a treasured bottle of vintage wine. It was to be served at our wedding. However, I poisoned the wine and killed everyone in the Larson family, including my own sister.

Elise de Vigny a passé sa vie à jouer le rôle de la marionnette parfaite. Elle a bâti un empire champenois d'un milliard de dollars pour une famille qui l'avait enlevée lorsqu'elle était enfant, et est restée fidèle à un mari qui s'assurait systématiquement qu'elle ne puisse jamais avoir d'enfants. À sa mort, à l'âge de quarante-trois ans, elle laisse derrière elle un héritage bâti sur du sable et une sœur qui couchait avec son mari depuis toujours. Mais quand Elise ouvre les yeux, nous sommes en 1999. Elle a dix-sept ans, elle est radieuse et se tient au bord du précipice du gala de fiançailles qui a scellé son destin. Cette fois, elle ne jouera pas les martyres. Pour échapper à la cage des De Vigny, elle se tourne vers le seul homme qui ait jamais osé les défier : Raphaël Sauvage. Il était son bourreau au lycée, un rebelle marginal, et la seule personne dont l'âme n'était pas à vendre. Elise connaît l'avenir, elle sait qu'il deviendra un titan. Mais pourra-t-elle convaincre le garçon qui la « déteste » de devenir le bouclier dont elle a besoin pour réduire ses ennemis en cendres ?

While the criminal was brutally killing me, my dad, the head of the criminal investigation division, and my mom, the chief forensic pathologist, were attending my sister Lily Lambert’s match. In a bid for revenge, the criminal, who had once been captured by my dad, cut out my tongue and used my phone to call him. My dad only said one thing before hanging up. "No matter what’s going on, Lily’s match is the top priority today!" The criminal sneered, "Seems I’ve kidnapped the wrong person. I thought they would love their biological daughter more!" At the crime scene, my parents were shocked by the brutal state of the body and condemned the cruelty of the killer. However, they did not realize that the horrifically mutilated corpse was their own daughter.

I was going to tell my husband I was finally pregnant. Instead, I found police at my door, arresting me for his murder. Someone faked Chris's death and framed me with a man I've never met: Von Castellano, whose wife conveniently provided evidence against us both. The proof is flawless. The conspiracy is airtight. And I'm thrown into a men's prison where I lose everything, including my baby. But Chris isn't dead. He's alive, living in paradise with my high school rival and my company's fortune, after poisoning me for years to ensure I'd never have his child. Von isn't just any man. He's the secret son of a mafia king, and he's ready to reclaim the throne he abandoned. Now we're married. Not for love but for survival. For revenge. For power. They destroyed us once. Together, we'll become the nightmare they never saw coming. Because I don't forgive. And I never forget.

On Valentine’s Day, someone stabbed my mother-in-law twenty times until she died. So, I took the murderer to court. My wife was a renowned lawyer, but she decided to defend him. I confronted her in anger, but she casually replied, “Derek’s younger brother is still a college student. Can’t you be a little more forgiving? “I’ll bring Derek and his younger brother along to visit your mother’s grave. Drop the charges. Don’t let this go to trial and embarrass me when you lose the case.” Looking at the mangled corpse full of stabbing wounds, I could not help but let out a bark of laughter. It looked like she was still unaware that the corpse was actually her own mother.

Maria never imagined she would marry a billionaire, especially not under a contract. After her mother’s death, Maria becomes the sole provider for her struggling family. With a crippled sister to care for and a sick father whose treatment costs more than she can afford, her life is filled with endless work, humiliation, and sacrifice. Just when it seems like everything is about to collapse, an unexpected offer changes her life forever. Walton James, the cold and powerful new CEO of his father’s billion-dollar empire, has no interest in love. After several painful relationships, he refuses to open his heart again. But when his terminally ill father gives him an ultimatum—marry within a year or lose the company—Walton decides to solve the problem in the simplest way possible: a contract marriage. When he meets Maria and discovers the desperate situation surrounding her family, he offers her a deal she cannot refuse. One year as his wife in exchange for enough money to save her father and secure her family’s future. No love. No emotions. Just a business arrangement. But as months pass, the distance between them slowly fades, and Maria begins to see a side of Walton that no one else ever has. Then everything falls apart. A powerful businessman is found dead, and Walton James becomes the prime suspect. Within days, his reputation is destroyed, his company is dragged through scandal, and he is arrested for a crime he insists he didn’t commit. As the world calls her husband a murderer, Maria refuses to walk away. Determined to uncover the truth, she stands beside him even when everyone else turns their backs. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous everything becomes.

My sister, Yvonne Jones, tried to murder the childhood friend of a rich heir in order to seduce him. Yvonne poisoned the woman's drink and pulled out her oxygen tube after she was sent to the hospital. When the rich heir arrived in a rush, Yvonne cried in his arms daintily. "I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. I failed to protect her." I witnessed everything in the ward but didn't say a word about it. In my previous lifetime, I stopped Yvonne from poisoning the woman. I knew the rich heir would never let her get away with it if he found out about it. Yvonne was forced to give up her plan and even praised me for my foresight. However, she ended up poisoning me instead and stabbed me in the heart with her dagger when I got dizzy. "This is your fault! Die! If you hadn't stopped me, Sean Graham would've been mine!" When I opened my eyes next, I had returned to the day of the poisoning.

Als mich der Verbrecher zu Tode folterte, war ich im dritten Monat schwanger. Doch mein Ehemann Mark – der bekannteste Detektiv der Stadt – war im Krankenhaus bei seiner ersten Liebe Emma und begleitete sie zu ihrer medizinischen Untersuchung. Vor drei Tagen hatte er von mir verlangt, Emma eine Niere zu spenden. Als ich mich weigerte und sagte, ich sei im zweiten Monat schwanger von unserem Kind, wurde sein Blick eisig. „Hör auf zu lügen“, fauchte er. „Du bist einfach nur egoistisch und willst Emma sterben lassen.“ Er hielt auf der dunklen Landstraße an. „Steig aus“, befahl er. „Lauf nach Hause, wenn du schon so herzlos bist.“ Ich blieb in der Dunkelheit zurück und wurde von dem rachsüchtigen Verbrecher entführt, den Mark einst ins Gefängnis gebracht hatte. Er schnitt mir die Zunge heraus. Mit grausamer Genugtuung benutzte er mein Handy, um meinen Mann anzurufen. Marks Antwort war kurz und kalt: „Ganz egal, was es ist, Emmas ärztliche Untersuchung ist wichtiger! Sie braucht mich jetzt.“ Der Verbrecher ließ ein finsteres Lachen hören. "Na, na... Anscheinend schätzt der großartige Detektiv das Leben seiner Ex-Partnerin höher als das seiner Ehefrau. Als Mark Stunden später am Tatort eintraf, war er entsetzt über die Grausamkeit, die dem Leichnam angetan worden war. Er verurteilte wütend den Mörder, weil er eine Schwangere so grausam behandelt hatte. Doch er erkannte nicht, dass die verstümmelte Leiche vor ihm seine eigene Frau war – mich.
