I am the woman who stays the longest by the side of mafia Don Jasper Shaw. I believe I hold a unique place in his heart. But when his beloved Rosie Hurley suffers violation and falls pregnant, everything changes. Accused of orchestrating Rosie's downfall, I become the venomous villain in their eyes. To shield Rosie from gossip, Jasper publicly claims her unborn child as his own. Meanwhile, I am branded a depraved woman, defiled and discarded. Desperate, I reveal my own pregnancy to Jasper, pleading for our child’s future. He dismisses it as a ploy for attention. When I confront him, his words cut deep. "This is the sin you must atone for. Rosie has always been raised like a princess, and she can't endure the whispers—not like you." For the first time, I realize I am nothing to Jasper but a tool for his desires. Rosie locks me in a cramped cellar, where I suffocate and die. My body lies undiscovered for a month. When Jasper receives the call to identify my corpse, he brushes it off, prioritizing Rosie's prenatal checkup. "Amara's lies are piling up. So what if she's dead? Cremate her and then talk to me." My body enters the furnace and is reduced to a handful of ashes. Later, the mighty Jasper Shaw kneels and sobs uncontrollably. He begs for just one glimpse of me.

Stomping on Ashes Chapter 10
Jasper had said that he only wanted to meet Rosie once and that he would bring her back after that, but everyone knew very well that he would not bring her back.When I heard the news, I was very disappointed.In the end, Rosie was still very important to Jasper, even though he knew that she had murdered me.He probably felt that letting Rosie suffer for a few days at the police station was already a huge punishment for her.It wasn't a surprise. Jasper had always been very protective of Rosie.How could he bear letting her be put in prison to await execution?However, what seemed strange to me was that Silas did not object and even allowed him to do so. I had no idea what Jasper had said to him. Rosie was very touched when she saw Jasper. "I knew you wouldn't just leave me. Don Shaw, I truly love you. I love you more than Amara does! From now on, we should let go of the events of the past and live a good life, alright?"Jasper did not answer. He looked coldly at Rosie, as

Rosie took two steps backward and muttered, "Was this wedding fake from the start? You weren't planning on marrying me at all. This was just a tool for you to punish me, wasn't it?"Jasper shook his head. "No. I told you. This wedding is real, but it's the wedding of Amara and me."The anticipation in Rosie's eyes disappeared completely. She laughed crazily and said, "So what? Amara is dead!"Do you think that you're so devoted? Weren't you the one who believed from the start that Amara had set me up? You were the one who punished her! I just gave her a push right at the end and locked her in the wine cellar. Weren't you the one who refused to let anyone go and visit her at the villa? The person who killed her wasn't me, it was you, Jasper!"The veins on Jasper's face bulged, and he kicked Rosie to the ground. "Shut up!"Rosie began screaming madly and even tried to escape, but she didn't get far before she was caught by the police and taken away. After Rosie's crimes were expos

Jasper's sudden rejection caused an uproar in the crowd. There was the sound of whispering from the guests' seats. I looked up involuntarily at the stage.Jasper snatched the microphone, looking as if he had made up his mind about something."I welcome everyone who has come to attend my wedding today. Don't panic. The wedding will take place as planned. However, my bride isn't Rosie. It's my lover… Amara!"Rosie turned to stare at Jasper in shock. She asked nervously in a low voice, "What kind of joke are you pulling? Amara is dead! It's our wedding today!"Jasper sneered. There was no longer any tender love in his eyes, and they were now as cold as ice."Do you think that I wouldn't be able to find out about the things that you did?"Rosie turned white at once, and she looked panicked. Silas was in the distance, but he suddenly chuckled in a slightly dazed manner and said, "Amara, it seems that Jasper isn't beyond hope yet. Even so, you'll still never be able to return to

As Jasper hadn't replied, Antonio had chosen not to interfere and had allowed the photos and messages to spread all over the Internet."Remove those photos at once! Delete all the information related to Amara. If anyone sends those without permission again, cut off their hands! Go and investigate, and find out who the first person who sent the photos was, and bring them to me! Fools!"Jasper looked terrifying. It seemed as if he would skin them alive! However, the photos had been of me, not Rosie. Why was Jasper so angry?Did he feel sorry for me?I snorted and shook my head as I abandoned my final vestige of hope.I was getting ahead of myself. It was impossible for Jasper to feel sorry for me. The amazing thing was that after meeting Silas, I could actually leave Jasper for a while. As Jasper had acted firmly and quickly, the photos on the Internet were deleted swiftly, but they had already been seen by many people. They could not stop talking about it.Naturally, Silas had

"I'll be busy with a few things for a while, so let's delay the wedding photos for a couple of days. I'll go and keep you company once I've finished my work," Jasper said.Rosie sounded extremely unhappy, so Jasper placated her patiently. Silas kicked him out of the house.After hanging up, Jasper drove to the funeral parlor. It wasn't open yet, so Jasper banged hard on the door and woke one of the staff members."Where are Amara's ashes?"Jasper's eyes were bright red, and it made the staff member jump in fright."I'm sorry, mister. We checked, and Ms. Amara's ashes have been collected by someone. They were signed for."Jasper was furious. He said angrily, "I signed, but I didn't take them with me! What have you done with her ashes?"The staff member remembered Jasper. There was a flash of scorn in his eyes, but he remained polite on the surface."Mister, we've confirmed that Ms. Amara's ashes were handed over to you. You even signed. If I remember correctly, you opened th

Jasper remembered how I had told him many times about being pregnant. However, he had never believed me, and he hadn't even been willing to verify it.If my death and pregnancy were both true, he would have killed his own lover and child!Jasper froze instantly, his eyes bulging with disbelief.He turned as pale as a sheet. He could not believe the terrible things that he had done to me!"That's impossible! I'm going to find her! She's lying to me! How could Amara have left me forever while being pregnant?"Silas looked pityingly at Jasper, who was on the verge of breaking down. "It's all written in the autopsy report. She was two months pregnant, and the fetus was already formed."Silas ordered Jasper to leave. "I will find out the truth about this entire thing and clear Amara's name. Of course, I'll also find the real culprit behind her murder and bring them to justice!"Silas stared fixedly at Jasper as he spoke, and Jasper suddenly felt guilty. Silas clearly did not believ

"You wretch!"Jasper was frozen where he stood. Silas grabbed the opportunity and flipped him over.Silas stood up and looked down imperiously at Jasper with a cold expression on his face. "Get your men and get out of my house."Jasper got up and grabbed hold of Silas. He was very agitated."What did Amara say to you? Why did she go missing?"Silas' eyes reddened, but he rejected Jasper expressionlessly. "I'll find out how she died. As for what she said to me, you're not worthy of knowing!"Jasper clenched his fists, but he suppressed the impulse to hit Silas. While Silas was distracted, he suddenly pushed him aside and rushed into the study!The study was filled with photos of me.In the photos, my complexion was a purplish-green. My pupils were dilated, and my pale, bloodless lips made me look as terrifying as a ghost. I had been suffocated to death, and I'd been imprisoned in a cramped wine cellar. Even breathing had become a luxury to me. My eyes were shut tightly, as i

"Amara! Get out here! Have you been spreading rumors about Rosie being the third party in our relationship? Her depression is getting worse. You're pushing her to the verge of committing suicide!"Jasper rushed angrily into the villa and began going through every room in search of me.However, there was no sign of me in the villa at all.If he'd been a little more observant, he would have realized that the rooms had not been occupied for a long time."What a witch!" Jasper used every resource he had to look for me.Soon, his lackeys found the last message that I'd left in the world.I'd made my last call a month ago to Silas Turner, a policeman.I'd met Silas unexpectedly. Despite our identities as a member of the mafia and a policeman, respectively, we became very good friends.Jasper had always disliked Silas, and he would become very jealous whenever I met up with Silas. Jasper sped all the way to Silas' home and gave the order for Silas' front door to be smashed down.

I could not believe how much Jasper hated me.However, no matter how much he hated me, he could no longer find me. I really was dead. In order to coax a smile out of Rosie, Jasper had promised to marry her once she recovered. He had also agreed to go with her to try on wedding dresses. The sweet smile on Rosie's face was a harsh sight to me. I thought of how Jasper hadn't become the Don yet when we'd first gotten together. He had just been an illegitimate son who was not in favor with the previous Don.My father was the underboss of the previous Don. After the previous Don had passed away unexpectedly, my father had supported Jasper wholeheartedly so that he could become the new Don. My father had done it for the sake of my happiness.Before my father passed away, Jasper had promised that he would propose to me and make me the most beautiful bride in the world.But now, Rosie was the one putting on a wedding dress for him!I watched the two of them embrace.

Chapter 1
A month after I'd died, Jasper Shaw received a call from the hospital, asking him to identify the corpse. My corpse was in the basement, and he was upstairs, accompanying Rosie Hurley for her prenatal checkup. "Amara Wallis is full of lies. She even bribed the hospital. Tell me, how much did she pay you for you to put on this act? If she's dead, so be it. Call me again once she's been cremated."According to his wishes, my corpse was put into a furnace. Once I had become a pile of ashes, the staff contacted Jasper once more.He clicked his tongue impatiently."We'll see how far you can carry out this charade."When Jasper rushed over, he looked disheveled. The top buttons on his shirt weren't even fastened properly."Didn't you call and ask me to come and pick up the ashes? Where are they?"Jasper's casual demeanor seemed at odds with the somber atmosphere. A staff member carried my ashes out, looking heavy-hearted. He expressed his condolences to Jasper.Jasper's eyes wer...
