Thalia finds out she's sick and dying. On the same day, she catches her husband having an affair. Feeling betrayed and angry, she reveals his infidelity to the world and then kills herself. But in a sick twist of fate, her soul ends up in the mistress's body.
Lihat lebih banyak"Sit," Thalia told her secretary. When the woman hesitated, she smiled a little to dispel any tension in the air. They'd always had an easygoing relationship and Bianca was hardworking. Thalia didn't believe she'd ever done anything to scare her. Or arouse any hate in her. "Am I getting fired?" Bianca asked hesitantly. "No. Nothing like that. How long have you worked for me?" "It's been four years, Ma'am" "And what are your plans for the future?" "I'm happy here. I like working for you, Ma'am." "What about law school? Have you thought about resuming your studies? If I remember correctly, you dropped out because your father was sick?" "Yes. Thanks to your help, he's better now." Thalia blinked "My help?" "You don't remember it but you gave me a blank cheque and told me to fill in the amount I needed. I will never forget your kindness, Ma'am, and no matter what happens, I won't betray you" That was news to her but it also worked in her favor. At least now she wouldn't
The Ashcroft estate stretched across 150 acres of pristine land. The 25,000-square-foot mansion stood at the center, its architecture framed by marble columns, sweeping terraces, and a grand circular driveway that wound around a towering fountain. Manicured hedges and rose bushes were separated by stone-paved paths that led to the garden. There was also a tennis court, a large pool, and a glass-enclosed conservatory. Whoever designed the place was detail-oriented, making sure nothing was out of place. On the farthest edge of the estate, hidden behind old oak trees stood a cabin. It was made of dark cedar and stone, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a sleek, minimalist design. Inside, Thalia lay on the bed, unable to move. She felt as if the rug had been pulled right from under her. How could her life change so drastically in only a few days? My sweet Lia. She hadn't been able to get those three words out of her head. If that woman was Gideon's sweet Lia, then what was she? They'd
Gideon arrived home sometime after midnight. He was in a good mood. Being with Natalia always left him in high spirits. She was everything he wanted in a woman. Beautiful, adventurous, and always willing to let him take the lead. He could fuck her like a whore and she'd thank him. Thalia would never allow him to call her his little slut. All her life, she'd been treated as a princess and she expected him to do the same. Even when they were being intimate. When he'd first slept with her, he had thought she was too rigid but since it was her first time, he didn't let it bother him. He thought with time she'd loosen up. And she had. But he still felt something was missing between them. Every time he slept with her it left him feeling hollow. As if all he'd done was give but received nothing in return. Because deep down, he always knew she was in a different league. Nothing he did would ever satisfy her. She didn't jump up in joy the way Natalia did when he bought her a car. Or jewelry.
Stomach cancer... too late... months.Those words rang in her head over and over again. Thalia left the doctor's office in a daze. The next thing she knew, she was sitting in her car in the parking lot with no idea of how she got there. How was it possible that she only had months to live? Could it be a misdiagnosis? Maybe they mixed her results with someone else's. Or it could be a typing error. Mistakes like that happened all the time. Didn't they?It was impossible that she was sick. She refused to believe it. How long did it take for the doctors to deem cases hopeless? If she'd been sick all that time why hadn't she known it? Her body would have given her signs. Weight loss, loss of appetite, heartburn, fatigue. There were signs everywhere but she attributed them to stress. But how could she have known? No. She wasn't going to believe any of it. That doctor was wrong.As she drove back to the office, Thalia convinced herself it was a mistake. She would go to another hospital and g
"Was that Gideon? Who is the woman with him?""A client. She has a relative who needs reconstructive surgery and wants him to do it""And she couldn't call his office?"Thalia shrugged "She did but he's fully booked. So she decided to try her luck and see if he could find time for her" She understood why the woman sought him out. Didn't people follow her around asking if she could take their cases? Sometimes she did and other times she sent them to her colleagues or even turned them down. It was the same with her husband. He was famous and damn good at his job. Anyone would want him to be their doctor. If only Cameron could understand that plastic surgery wasn't about body enhancement alone.Gideon treated people malformed by diseases or medical conditions. He helped them regain their confidence and she thought what he did was noble. Especially since most of the reconstructive surgeries he'd performed were for nonprofit organizations and free clinics. She would find time to explain ev
"Morning Mom""Good morning honey. Sleep well?""Yeah. Did you make breakfast today?""No. I was waiting for you so we could have a chat. Sit" Cameron eyed her suspiciously "What? Don't give me that look.""I can't help it. Your morning talks scare me"Thalia scrunched her nose "I have morning talks?""Oh yeah" Celia replied walking into the dining room "And they are not pleasant" She glanced at her brother as she sat down next to him "What'd you do?""Nothing. What did you do?"Before they started quibbling, Thalia reached into her bag and took out the string of shiny square packets. Slamming them on the table. Both her children stared at them and then raised their eyes to her."Please tell me that is not what I think it is" Celia spoke first."The fact that you know what they are means you need to start carrying them everywhere you go""Mom, I'm fourteen""And? I bet some girls in your class have already lost their virginity""Yeah, I'm not sticking around for this conversation" Cam
"If it isn't the gorgeous Miss Ashcroft. You look ravishing""I clean up well. Don't I?""Is your husband not giving you enough compliments? Is that why you're fishing for them from me, of all people?""Asshole" Gideon muttered under his breath."Cut it out" Thalia chastised at the same time but she was smiling. And because of her smile, fucking Tanner Hale thought he'd won that round. "I thought you said it was a small gathering""Give me a break, Tee. It's my birthday. I can do whatever I want. You're free to make it a small gathering when it's your turn, Miss Ashcroft"Gideon refrained from rolling his eyes. She'd been Mrs Thane for more than fifteen years but some people refused to accept defeat. What a loser. Was it a wonder no woman wanted to tie themselves to him?"Thank you but we can't stay long. I have an early morning tomorrow""Still on the Winslow case? How is it coming along?""It's a headache but I have it covered""I've never doubted your abilities to kick ass in court
