~Charlotte

I sat in my sleek red Lamborghini, gripping the steering wheel tightly. The engine hummed beneath me, ready to roar to life, but I couldn’t bring myself to move. My head rested against the leather seat, and my heart pounded in frustration.

Just as I reached for the gear, I heard it—the sound of chaos erupting at the gates. My hands froze, and I glanced up toward the noise. Cameras flashed, voices shouted, and figures moved restlessly behind the iron bars.

“Not again,” I muttered under my breath, rubbing my temples.

Peering closer, I could make out the swarm of reporters. Ever since the news broke about Adam’s upcoming wedding to Eleanor, the press had been relentless. The world thought my marriage to Adam was real, that we were some power couple madly in love. They had no idea it was all fake—a contract designed to take revenge on both our exes, Dylan, and Eleanor . But now? Now Adam was marrying the same Eleanor. His ex. Who claims her child is Adam's.

    ~CharlotteThe warm, easy conversation between Jasmine and me came to an abrupt halt as the faint sound of a voice caught my attention. I turned my head, tension winding up my spine. Someone was outside on the balcony, their voice low, urgent. The words were sharp, carrying a weight I couldn't ignore. “Yes, Eleanor. I have the results ready for tomorrow,” the man said, his voice clipped and serious. My breath caught as the name sank in. Eleanor. My hands clenched at my sides, and I took a deep, steadying breath. I knew this couldn’t be good.The man’s voice continued, but I was already leaning toward the hallway, straining to hear. “Once those fake DNA results are out in the press, Adam won’t have a choice. He’ll have to stay with you. That’s the only way to ensure everything stays in place.” A sudden heat rose in my chest, and I felt the world shift beneath me. My heart pounded, the blood rushing in my ears. And now he was caught in a trap so twisted it made my stomach turn.A shar

    ~CharlotteThe moment I got into my car, I slammed the door shut and gripped the steering wheel so tight my knuckles turned white. My heart pounded in my chest like a war drum, and my head was spinning with Edward’s words. Eleanor. That conniving, lying snake! Using fake illness and DNA results to trap Adam? She had crossed the line this time.“You think you’re smart, Eleanor,” I muttered under my breath, my voice shaking with rage. “But you’ve awoken the beast in me now.”I jammed the key into the ignition, and the engine roared to life. Slamming the gear into drive, I sped out of the driveway, my tires screeching against the pavement. The road stretched out ahead of me, bathed in the fading light of the setting sun. The trees blurred past as I pressed my foot down harder on the gas, the needle on the speedometer climbing higher and higher.The air whipped against the car windows, but it did little to cool the fire blazing inside me. I reached for my phone, my fingers trembling as I

    ~AdamThe siren’s wail blared through the narrow streets, drowning out the erratic rhythm of my heartbeat. Eleanor lay motionless on the stretcher, her frail body jolting slightly with each bump on the road. The paramedics worked feverishly around her, shouting numbers and medical jargon I barely understood. “Eleanor, stay with me!” I said, leaning close to her. My hand enveloped hers, squeezing tightly. Her fingers felt cold, lifeless. The sheer panic in me was overwhelming. “Don’t you dare give up. You hear me? You’re going to be fine.” Her eyelids fluttered weakly, and she turned her head, her face ghostly pale. Her lips parted, and her voice came out in a fragile whisper. “Adam…it’s too late…” “No, it’s not!” I interrupted sharply, my voice rising above the siren. “You’re going to make it, Eleanor. You have to—for your son.” Her lips trembled as a tear rolled down her cheek. “Our son, Adam,” she corrected, her eyes glistening with emotion. I swallowed hard, guilt piercin

    ~CharlotteI paced back and forth across the plush carpet in my room, the events of the day replaying in my mind like a broken record. My heart raced as flashes of Eleanor lying on the stretcher flickered before my eyes. Her pale face, the blood she coughed up—was I wrong? Could she actually be sick? The doubt gnawed at me. I had thought her illness was a ploy, a twisted way to manipulate Adam, but now… now I wasn’t so sure.Stopping at the window, I pressed my forehead against the cold glass, the city lights below twinkling like distant stars. “Please let her survive,” I whispered to no one in particular. I didn’t want this on my conscience. If she died… No. Adam would never forgive me. I wouldn’t forgive myself.I turned and grabbed my phone from the nightstand, my fingers trembling as I dialed Adam’s number. It rang. Once. Twice. Then it cut off. I tried again. The same thing happened. He was busying my calls. Panic crept in, making my chest feel tight. Was she… gone? The thought w

    ~AdamI walked back inside the house, each step heavier than the last. The weight of what had just happened pressed down on me with every movement. The look on Charlotte’s face when I told her she had to leave was burned into my memory, impossible to forget. Her tear-filled eyes, her voice trembling as she tried to make sense of what I was saying—God, it hurt. I clenched my fists, a futile attempt to push the growing guilt away. I had to convince myself I’d done the right thing. She had crossed a line. Eleanor’s life was hanging by a thread, and Charlotte’s jealousy had almost pushed her over the edge. I had to protect what mattered, no matter how much it tore me apart inside. This wasn’t about what I wanted—it was about what had to be done.But damn it, I regretted every word I said to her.I shook my head, as though I could shake the guilt free. There was no room for second-guessing. I had made my choice. I had no choice. I walked into the living room, trying to steady myself, where

    ~CharlotteThe cab came to a stop in front of Jasmine’s apartment. I barely noticed the driver announcing our arrival as my eyes blurred with tears. The lump in my throat had grown heavier during the ride, and my fingers trembled as I fumbled to pay him. The small pile of boxes beside me felt like they weighed a ton, though they only held the few pieces of my life I could hurriedly pack. “Miss, are you all right?” the driver asked gently, glancing at me in the rearview mirror. I nodded, though the tears streaking down my face betrayed me. “I’m fine, thank you,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. As I stepped out of the cab, the cool evening breeze hit my face, but it didn’t calm me. The pain inside me was far worse than anything the outside world could throw at me. I was losing Adam—or maybe I’d already lost him. The thought was unbearable. Before I could grab the boxes, the front door of Jasmine’s building swung open. Jasmine came rushing out, barefoot, her curly hair tied

    ~RalphMorning of the WeddingThe first rays of dawn streamed through the thin curtains of my room, doing little to chase away the dread that had been building inside me. My chest felt heavy as if the weight of the entire pack—and more—rested squarely on my shoulders. Today was my wedding day.To Sophia.Not Otsana.I rolled over in bed, groaning, my hand reaching for my phone on the bedside table. Without thinking, I dialed Otsana’s number. It rang once. Twice. No answer. I cursed under my breath and dialed again. Still nothing.“Damn it, Otsana,” I muttered, pressing the phone against my forehead. “Just let me hear your voice.”I knew she was with Noah now. The thought of that bastard—her mate—taking care of her both comforted and infuriated me. At least she was safe. At least she wouldn’t have to witness this farce of a wedding.A tear slipped down my cheek before I could stop it. I clenched my jaw, wiping it away angrily. Alpha Ralph didn’t cry. Yet here I was, falling apart like

    ~CharlotteThe church was buzzing with the sound of murmurs, a palpable tension filling the air as the ceremony began. Jasmine and I crouched in a secluded corner at the back of the grand hall, hidden behind an intricately carved pillar. My hands were trembling as I worked on my phone, trying to connect the speaker system to the video evidence we had compiled. Jasmine crouched beside me, glancing over her shoulder at the altar, her face a mix of excitement and anticipation.“Hurry up, Charlotte,” Jasmine whispered urgently, her voice barely audible over the soft hum of the organ. “We’ve got to time this perfectly.”“I’m trying,” I hissed back, my fingers fumbling with the settings on my phone. My heart was racing, both from the thrill of what we were about to do and the ache in my chest every time I glanced at Adam standing at the altar. He looked devastatingly handsome in his tailored suit, but his expression was stiff, his jaw clenched as if he’d rather be anywhere but there.“Charl

    ~CharlotteThe sunlight filtered weakly through the heavy drapes in the living room, but its warmth was no comfort to me. I sat on the couch, surrounded by tissues and with my phone clutched tightly in my hand. My eyes burned from crying, and my body ached from sitting in the same spot all night. I hadn’t slept; I hadn’t eaten. All I had done was dial Adam’s number over and over, praying for him to pick up. Each time it rang, my heart leaped, only for it to sink again when it went to voicemail. I had even called Jacques, his assistant, hoping he might have heard from Adam. But Jacques had said he was in a meeting and couldn’t step out. His voice had been calm, almost indifferent, but I could hear the slight edge of concern in his tone when I told him what had happened. “He hasn’t called you?” I had asked, my voice breaking. “No, ma’am,” Jacques had replied. “I’m sure everything is fine. Mr. Adam knows how to handle himself.” But what if this time he hadn’t? My sobs echoed th

    ~CharlotteIt had been six months since Adam and I got married, and every day felt like a dream I never wanted to wake up from. Today was no different. We had just finished our antenatal appointment, and everything was perfect. The doctor said the baby was growing beautifully. Adam was practically glowing with pride as he helped me out of the hospital. As soon as we got into the car, I leaned back with a smile, resting my hand on my belly. “The baby’s kicking,” I whispered, my voice full of awe. Adam's head whipped around, his eyes lighting up. “Really? Let me feel!” I placed his hand on my stomach, and his face broke into the most beautiful smile. “Hey, little one,” he said, leaning down and pressing his ear to my belly. I laughed. “What are you doing, Adam?” “I’m talking to my child,” he said, completely serious, then added in a playful tone, “Hey, baby, it’s me, your daddy. I just want you to know I’m already your favorite parent. Right?” I burst out laughing, unable to

    ~CharlotteThe bathroom was quiet except for the sound of water dripping from the showerhead. I sat on the cold tiled floor, knees drawn to my chest, my damp hair sticking to my skin as tears streamed down my face. A week had passed since the wedding—a wedding I had dreamed about for so long. Marrying Adam for real was everything I had ever wanted. But now, I couldn’t find the happiness I had imagined. The silence between us was suffocating.I wiped my face, but the tears kept coming. Adam hadn’t spoken to me beyond basic pleasantries since we exchanged vows. And worst of all, I hadn’t been able to bring myself to explain everything to him, to ask for his forgiveness. The words seemed to get caught in my throat every time I tried. I cursed Dylan and Eleanor under my breath, the two people who had managed to turn my life into a living nightmare. Dylan had promised peace, but he turned out to be the same fool he’d always been, dragging me down with his selfishness and lies.The water ha

    ~AdamThe murmurs filled the reception hall like an annoying buzz in my ears. Everywhere I looked, guests whispered behind their hands, their eyes darting between me and the altar. I clenched my fists, trying to rein in the rage still simmering inside me. My mouth stung, and I could taste blood from where Dylan’s fist had connected earlier. But he’d gotten the worse end of the deal—no question about that. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Charlotte walking toward me, her hands wringing nervously. Her face was pale, her makeup smudged from tears. I knew she wanted to explain. Hell, I wanted answers too, but I wasn’t ready to hear her excuses. “Adam…” Her voice was soft, hesitant, and it grated on my already frayed nerves. I didn’t look at her. I pulled out my phone instead, dialing the head of my security team. “Get this chaos under control,” I barked into the phone, my tone leaving no room for argument. “Have Dylan and Eleanor removed immediately. Take them to the warehou

    ~CharlotteThe silence in the room was deafening as the words “I object” hung in the air. My heart pounded, the rhythm erratic and loud enough to drown out the collective gasps of the guests. Slowly, all eyes turned towards the man walking up the aisle. My breath hitched when I saw who it was.Dylan.I gasped audibly, my hand flying to my mouth. Adam’s eyes widened in shock as he turned to face the unwelcome interruption. The tension in the air was so thick, it felt like a physical weight pressing down on my chest.What was Dylan doing here? My mind raced as I tried to make sense of it. He was supposed to be on a flight to Spain for his business meeting. I had been so sure he was out of our lives for good, that we had found peace. But now, seeing him stride towards us with that smug smirk plastered on his face, I felt an icy dread seep into my veins.Adam and I exchanged a glance, his confusion mirroring my own. His jaw tightened as his grip on my hand faltered. The guests murmured am

    ~CharlotteThe golden rays of the morning sun filtered through the sheer curtains of my bedroom, bathing everything in a soft, warm glow. Today was the day—the day I would walk down the aisle and become Mrs. Adam Morgan. I stood in front of the mirror, gazing at my reflection with a mix of anticipation and nerves. My heart thudded in my chest, the enormity of the day washing over me. Jasmine stood beside me, her nimble fingers adjusting the intricate lace of my veil. “Charlotte,” she said softly, her voice full of emotion. “You’re a vision. I’ve never seen you look so beautiful.” I smiled at her through the mirror, my eyes glistening. “Thank you, Jasmine. It feels... surreal.” She chuckled. “It’s real, all right. In just a few hours, you’ll be married to the love of your life.” Her words sent a rush of warmth through me. “I just hope everything goes as planned.” Jasmine waved a dismissive hand. “Relax, everything is perfect. And Adam... well, let’s just say you’ve got a ma

    ~CharlotteThe evening before the wedding was bathed in golden light, the soft glow of fairy lights strung across the sprawling garden. The scent of freshly cut roses and lavender drifted on the warm summer breeze, blending with the quiet hum of conversation and the clinking of glasses. The rehearsal dinner party was in full swing, a gathering of family and friends united to celebrate Adam and me. I stood near the edge of the dance floor, champagne flute in hand, feeling a strange mix of excitement and nerves. My pale blue dress clung to my figure in all the right places, the fabric shimmering faintly under the soft lights. My hair was swept into an elegant updo, with a few loose curls framing my face. Jasmine, my best friend, had convinced me to go for a bold red lipstick, and though I’d been hesitant, I had to admit it made me feel… powerful. Adam was across the room, deep in conversation with his father, Albert. He looked as dashing as ever in his tailored navy suit, his tie sl

    ~CharlotteEverything felt like it was finally falling into place. For weeks, I’d been plagued by doubts, fears, and the gnawing anxiety that the secrets of my past would come crashing down around me. But now, as I stood in the warm kitchen, the soft light of the chandelier casting a golden glow across the counters, I allowed myself a rare moment of peace. Noah was gone. Dylan had made peace with me, and to my relief, he hadn’t brought up the night we spent together. That night was buried deep in the recesses of my mind, locked away with all the other mistakes I prayed Adam would never uncover. I leaned against the counter, stirring a pot of soup while the chef plated some appetizers nearby. The aroma of fresh herbs and roasted vegetables filled the air, soothing me further. Adam and I were set to marry in two days, and for the first time, I believed there was a real chance for happiness in our future. My lips curved into a small smile as I imagined walking down the aisle, Adam’

    ~DylanThe drive home was uneventful, but my thoughts were anything but calm. The night had gone surprisingly well until Noah showed up like a bad rash. I gripped the steering wheel tighter, the weight of the evening pressing down on me. The headlights of the car illuminated the long driveway as I pulled up to the mansion. The place was quiet, the kind of silence that came with late hours and everyone being asleep—or so I thought. As I stepped out of the car, stretching to shake off the stiffness of sitting too long, my eyes caught a faint glow in the distance. The guest house. I frowned. The light was still on. That bastard. I exhaled sharply through my nose, my anger bubbling just beneath the surface. Did he think I was joking when I told him to leave? I squared my shoulders and headed toward the guest house, the cool night air doing little to soothe my irritation. “Noah,” I muttered under my breath, my strides long and purposeful. “Of all the people Adam keeps around, it
