Shawn's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the divorce papers in his hand. "What is this, Alisa?" he asked, his voice trembling. "It would be Miss Reynolds to you soon," she replied, her voice devoid of emotion. "I'm done with you, and I'm done with this farce of a marriage." Shawn was taken aback by the coldness in her tone. This was the same woman who had once spoken to him with such love and affection. What had happened to her? "I thought you loved me," he said, his voice cracking with emotion. Alisa scoffed, her expression disdainful. "Cindy is back, and you think I'd stay with you? You want to have your cake and eat it too? Never." ### Alisa Randall's fairy-tale marriage to her childhood sweetheart, Shane Dallas, had ended in heartbreak when he left her for his first love, Cindy. But what Shane didn't know was that Alissa was the heiress to the country's largest fortune, with connections to Hollywood's elite and multiple identities at her disposal. Now, Shane was realizing his mistake, and he came crawling back to Alisa, tears streaming down his face. But would she take him back, or would she forge a new path, one that didn't include him?

Upon getting no response, Shane called out again, "Alissa, aren't you going to help or are you so desperate to see me naked?" Again, no response. Anger fueled through his veins. "How dare she ignore me," he thought. Shane got out of the bathroom and stepped into their bedroom in his full glory. Water trickled lazily down his six-pack, and he looked like a model straight from a Calvin Klein photoshoot. "Alissa," he called out, his voice growing hard. Drifting his gaze to the bed, his lips turned to a frown when he did not see his clothes laid out, nor even his towel. Usually, Alissa would get everything ready for him and tease him about forgetting his towel, then make him breakfast. "You can't ignore me forever," he seethed as he marched to the walk-in closet to grab a fresh towel. After putting o
Chapter 4; I promise to make you proudBack at the hospital, Cindy and Shane shared the bed of the private room, his arm extended over her shoulders in a gentle embrace. On her other hand, an IV drip linked to its stand was flowing at twenty drops per minute.Compared to back when she was comatose, Cindy's face was fuller, and she wore a cheerful smile as they watched the movie *Rain Man*, starring Tom Cruise."Wow, I really love this kissing scene between Raymond and her. It's so awkward and cute, just like when you first kissed me in my parents' basement," Cindy said excitedly, her free arm holding on to him tightly. Due to Shane's lack of response, she lifted her head to check on him.Shane appeared to watch the screen intently; however, after how many years of growing together, Cindy knew he was not in the moment. He must have dazed off."Shane, babe," she called out gently, but got no response."Shane!" Cindy said again, her fingers brushing over his broad shoulders. Still, she r
Chapter 3: You're a Free Woman Now "Fine, Alissa, hand me a pen," Shane agreed, huffing with anger. A pen. At this moment, Alicia froze - she had forgotten to get a pen from home. Still, she decided to search her purse but could not find one. Shrugging, she told him in a nonchalant tone, "I don't have a pen with me." "You don't?" Shane rolled his head back in laughter. He gritted his teeth. "What kind of games are you playing, Alissa?" How could she come over to the hospital with papers but forget a pen? This was surely a part of her plan. When Alissa decided to defend herself, a soft, quiet voice broke through the silence. It was weak and feeble. "I have one." At this, Alissa scoffed, staring at the blue pen. "Of course." "I took it from a nurse," Cindy explained quickly, her voice laced with nervousness, wanting to avoid any conflict. "Shane, you know how much I love drawing, but I couldn't find a pencil, so I borrowed her pen." Being quick-wi
Chapter 2: You can have him For the umpteenth time, Alissa reread his messages. She had tried to contact him to no avail. Nothing made sense. Cindy Reynolds, her sister, was awake now. Alissa felt tears of happiness fill her eyes; she had been praying non-stop for Cindy to wake up. Without even thinking about what would happen to her marriage with Shane. Unfortunately, when Cindy woke up, her first words were to bash her and paint her black. As always. She tried to decipher what he meant. "Cindy said I tried to kill her? I knew she was a bitch, but not this cruel?" Alissa gritted her teeth and sighed, her face ripped with anger like never before. All through their childhood, Alissa had borne with Cindy's lies, torments, and bullying. But she never thought she would go so far as to accuse her of manslaughter. The worst part was Shane believed her. "Why does that surprise me, Shane? You loved her first, and in your eyes, she would always be pure and i
Chapter 1: Cindy is awake "Shane, ahhh" Alissa felt her entire body grow hotter with each touch around her curves. His lips melted into hers in an all-consuming kiss that made her toes curl. They both fell onto the king-size bed, pulling at each other's clothes in a frenzy, desperate to ravish one another. The two bodies intertwined in so much raw passion. In the dead of night, their moans and groans kept the villa alive with passion. If someone had told Alissa five years ago that she would be in this moment, she would have been skeptical. The man in question was Shane Randall, her husband for the past five years. Alissa had become a stand-in wife for Shane when her foster sister, Cindy Randall, suffered a major car accident and slipped into a coma. A coma which had been in for five years. The mere thought was heartbreaking for Alissa. For Shane, it was a marriage of convenience; Alissa was merely a stand-in for his true love, Cindy Randall. But for Alissa,
