Chapter 1
The day I found out I was pregnant... was the same day my husband threw me away. "Sign it." Ethan Cole's voice was calm. Cold. Final. The divorce papers slid across the table and stopped right in front of me. For a moment, I didn't move. Didn't breathe. Didn't think. My fingers tightened slowly around the small white envelope hidden in my palm-the hospital report. Six weeks pregnant. I had rehearsed this moment all morning. How I would tell him. How his expression might finally soften. How maybe-just maybe-he would look at me like I mattered. But instead... "Amara, don't waste my time." His voice cut through my thoughts like a blade. I looked up at him. Three years of marriage... and I still couldn't read his eyes. They were as distant as ever. Like I was nothing more than a stranger sitting across from him. "What... is this?" My voice came out quieter than I expected. "You know what it is." "I want to hear you say it." A flicker of impatience crossed his face. Then- "Divorce." One word. That was all it took to shatter everything. My chest tightened painfully. "Why?" Silence. Ethan leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable. "This marriage was a mistake from the start." A mistake. The words echoed in my head. Three years. Three years of loving him. Waiting for him. Hoping he would one day love me back. A mistake? My grip on the envelope tightened. "Was I ever anything to you?" I asked softly. His gaze didn't waver. "No." The answer came too quickly. Too easily. Like he had never even needed to think about it. Something inside me broke completely. Still... I forced a small smile. "I see." If I cried now, I would lose whatever little dignity I had left. I wouldn't give him that. Not anymore. My eyes dropped to the papers. The bold words blurred for a second before I blinked them clear. Divorce Agreement. It felt unreal. Like I was watching someone else's life fall apart. Then- The office door opened. I didn't need to turn to know who it was. The soft click of heels. The familiar perfume. Vanessa. My best friend. "Ethan," she said gently, walking in like she belonged there. "Are you done?" I looked up sharply. Her hand slipped naturally into his arm. And this time... He didn't pull away. The world went completely silent. My heart... stopped. "Vanessa..." My voice trembled despite my effort to stay calm. "What are you doing?" She looked at me, her eyes soft-too soft. "I didn't want you to find out like this." Every word felt like a slap. I turned slowly to Ethan. "Tell me she's lying." Silence. That silence was louder than any answer. My stomach twisted violently. Not from heartbreak. From realization. This wasn't sudden. This wasn't a decision made today. This had been happening... behind my back. For how long? Weeks? Months? Years? A bitter laugh escaped my lips. "So this is why." Ethan didn't deny it. Of course he didn't. Why would he? To him, I was already... irrelevant. Vanessa squeezed his arm slightly. "You deserve someone better, Ethan," she said softly. Better. My nails dug into my palm. I wanted to scream. To slap her. To ask her how she could betray me like this. But instead... I picked up the pen. If I stayed any longer, I would break. And I refused to fall apart in front of them. "Where do I sign?" Vanessa blinked, clearly surprised. Ethan simply pushed the document closer. Cold. Detached. Unmoved. I signed my name. Each stroke felt like cutting away a piece of my past. Amara Blake. Wife. No... Ex-wife. I placed the pen down gently and stood up. My legs felt weak, but I forced myself to stand straight. To look composed. Untouchable. Even if I was shattering inside. "Take the compensation," Ethan said behind me. "Don't act stubborn." I paused. For a second... just a second... I almost laughed. Three years of marriage. And he thought I cared about money? Without turning back, I replied quietly- "Keep it." Then I walked away. Out of his office. Out of our marriage. Out of the life I had built around a man who never loved me. The elevator doors closed in front of me. And the moment they did- My hand trembled. The envelope slipped from my fingers. I caught it just in time. Slowly... I opened it again. My eyes fell on the words that had changed everything. Pregnant. A tear slid down my cheek before I could stop it. I let out a shaky breath. "Don't worry..." I whispered softly, placing a hand over my stomach. "I still have you." The elevator reached the ground floor. The doors opened. And I stepped out- Not as Ethan Cole's wife. But as a woman he would one day regret losing.

I worked three double shifts at the garage just to buy a velvet-boxed cake for my wealthy girlfriend, Arleen.
But when I pushed open the VIP room door, I saw her lover kissing her bare leg.
She didn't push him away. Instead, she laughed and swirled her martini.
"I only forgot Finn because I knew he would stay. He is a poor boy from Queens who follows me around like a loyal dog."
Later that night, her lover intentionally crashed a Porsche to scare me, sending a piece of jagged metal into my skull.
Lying in a growing pool of my own blood, I watched Arleen crawl out of the wreckage.
She didn't even look at me. She threw herself at her uninjured lover, screaming for a medic.
"He just got scraped by a piece of plastic. He is faking it. Deal with Jaquez first!"
When I woke up, I wasn't free. Arleen had locked me in a private hospital wing with 24-hour security, planning to isolate me and keep me as her broken, captive toy forever.
My blind, pathetic devotion finally froze into absolute disgust.
I looked at the heart monitor next to my bed and grabbed an IV needle.
I severed the sensor wire to trigger a flatline, slipped out the fire stairs while the nurses panicked, and burned my identity to ashes.
This time, I was going to disappear to London, build my own empire, and watch hers burn.

Emerson worked grueling twelve-hour shifts just to keep her five-year-old son, Leo, alive. Her only lifeline was her partner Alden, who was willing to give up his wealthy family to protect them.
But when Leo's bone marrow completely failed, the doctor delivered a death sentence. The only way to save him was a two-million-dollar treatment, or having another child with his biological father.
That father was Finnegan Mcconnell, the ruthless billionaire who had accused Emerson of faking her pregnancy and abandoned her five years ago.
Desperate for the medical fees, Emerson submitted her designs to Finnegan's company.
Instead of advancing the money, Finnegan tore her portfolio to shreds and trapped her as a prisoner in his estate.
To force her complete submission, he systematically destroyed her reality. He framed Alden with federal charges, leaving him facing twenty years in prison.
Alden's mother stormed into the pediatric ICU, violently strangling Emerson against the wall.
"Beg Finnegan to let my son go! You are a curse!"
Even Emerson's own adoptive mother showed up at the hospital, just to publicly mock her dying child.
Emerson was suffocating in despair. Finnegan already had a beautiful new wife and a five-year-old daughter—absolute proof he had been cheating while she was pregnant and alone.
He had his perfect family. Why did he have to hunt her down and sever every lifeline she had left, just to watch her drown?
With her son's heart monitor fading and Alden locked in a cell, her pride finally shattered.
Emerson walked into the top-floor executive office and dropped to her knees at the devil's feet, but the desperate mother looking up at him was preparing for a devastating revenge.

For three years, I played the role of a devoted, naive wife to billionaire Conrad Whitney. I hid my true identity and foolishly believed in our fairy tale.
Then he handed me a harsh divorce agreement, ordering me to sign and walk away with absolutely nothing. He was leaving me to marry Cindy, the fragile woman he claimed had saved him from a fire.
He expected me to cry and beg. Instead, he watched coldly as Cindy and her family illegally transferred my father's trust fund. When I confronted them at the hospital, Conrad shielded her, calling me a greedy, toxic viper. He mocked me, completely blind to the fact that Cindy was a fraud. He truly believed I was just a pathetic, useless housewife who would be utterly destroyed without his money and status.
I looked at the man I had actually dragged out of that burning debris with my own soot-covered hands. My trauma, my sacrifices, and my love had all been reduced to a joke by his sheer arrogance and a few fake tears from a manipulative liar.
I didn't shed a single tear. I calmly signed the papers, drugged his wine, and left a crumpled one-dollar bill on his unconscious chest with a sticky note mocking his terrible service.
Then, I picked up my encrypted phone. It was time for the world's top surgeon, Dr. Hades, to return, and for Conrad to finally see the god he had just thrown away.
