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 banyakShe'd been hiding in a hotel for two weeks. The room was standard and she had everything she needed. Thanks to Natalia's money, she had been able to rent a room in a decent hotel and bought a few things she needed. But she couldn't stay there forever. For starters, she had an appointment at the hospital for a check-up. And it was suffocating staying inside all day. She needed to get some fresh air before she lost her mind. So Thalia decided to go out after leaving the hospital. It wasn't as if Dom knew where she was. After all that time, he'd probably given up looking for her. Or he thought she'd left the country. A few hours outside wouldn't alert him. She'd go to a restaurant, get a nice proper meal, and then check if Tanner had come back. When she'd gone to his house, his housekeeper had told him he wasn't around. Apparently, he'd taken a break from work and was out of the country. She didn't know how long he would be gone. Without his phone number, she could only go to his house.
She left him nothing. He'd attended the reading of Thalia's will with high expectations only to be bitterly disappointed. How could she be so mean? He was hoping to settle some of his debts with whatever little money he'd inherit from her but she hadn't left him a single penny. Edward, the butler, and Pamela, the nanny received a share together with the employees at the house and estate. If they wanted to continue working for them, they would answer to the butler until Cameron turned eighteen. He would take charge of everything after that. The rest of Thalia's wealth would be divided equally between Cameron and Celia. Edward was appointed as the custodian. Not him. She'd rather trust a stranger than him. Did that mean she knew about his affair? So far he hadn't found the person who'd leaked the photos to the press. The private investigator he'd hired found the reporters who posted the videos on the internet but they claimed to have received packages with instructions to do whatever t
There was money in every corner of that house. After lunch, Corey had left to get his clothes and ask his neighbor to feed his cat while he was away. Left alone, Thalia went back to the closet thinking she could find more information about Orlando and get Dom off her back. It was clear he wasn't going to leave her alone until she gave him what he wanted. But all she'd found was money. Out of fifteen boxes, only one had a pair of shoes. It looked like Natalia had forgotten to unpack them. That wasn't all. Thalia found more money taped on the bottom of cabinets in the closet. More boxes under the bed were filled with what looked like useless things but there was cash at the bottom. An hour later she gave up. Aside from money, there was nothing else in that house. Due to so much movement, her leg started throbbing. Reminding her she'd only left the hospital a few hours ago and hadn't fully recovered. Thinking she should get some rest, she stopped at the foot of the bed and scrunched her
Three bedrooms. One of them had been transformed into a gym with a treadmill and a few other workout equipment. Although, judging by how new most of the stuff was, it didn't look like she used the room a lot. The other one had a bed and a mattress. Nothing else. The master bedroom must have been where Natalia spent most of her time. Everything was carefully picked. The bedding included plush throws, knit blankets, and pillows in shades of white, cream, and soft taupe. Floor-to-ceiling drapes in a matching beige shade framed sheer white curtains and a large rug covered the floor. Two night stands with golden lamps sat on either side of the bed and a minimalist abstract painting hung above it. Despite being in Natalia's body, Thalia wondered if it was okay to be in her space. What if she wasn't dead? Maybe her soul had ended up in someone else's body too. It was also possible they were sharing the same body. What if they took turns being conscious? Was there a limit to her time in that
"We're here. Get out" Corey pushed the door open and climbed out of the car but Thalia remained seated. On the way there, she'd been anxious because she didn't know what to expect. Not only had she woken up in someone else's body but she knew nothing about them. The little information she'd come across wasn't enough for her to confidently live as Natalia. For starters, she hadn't known where the woman lived. Hence the reason she needed Gideon to pick her up. Should they find someone at her house, he'd help her identify them. She could only play the confused card for so long. Before she left, the doctor had insisted she get another MRI scan because she'd made the mistake of saying she didn't remember anything. Thalia was afraid the doctor would keep her for longer and recommend psychiatric help if she didn't leave so she'd promised to go back if she felt sick. "I'll take a nurse with me just in case" that had convinced the doctor to discharge her. Gideon had entered an undergrou
Gideon read the message for a second and then a third time because he couldn't believe it. Where had that crazy bitch gotten the audacity to order him around? Had Natalia lost her mind? He regretted not distancing himself from her earlier. He should have ended their relationship when she showed up at Hale's birthday. Maybe all that wouldn't have happened. With the way things were going, he knew without a doubt she was going to be a problem. Thalia's lawyer had gotten in touch with him and told him to attend the reading of her will which would take place the next week. He wasn't sure what was more surprising. The fact that she hadn't trusted her best friend Hale with her will or that he had to be there. Was it possible she'd left him something? Perhaps he'd been right about her being murdered. He hadn't visited the cottage yet because Cameron and Celia had moved to the estate and he wanted to give them time before talking to them. But if his hunch was right, it would mean Thalia didn'
"Your lunch is here, Miss Ashton" "I'm not hungry" "You haven't eaten anything since you regained consciousness." The nurse said moving the overbed table to the middle of the bed and placing a plate on top of it "If you want to be discharged early, you have to eat" "Leave me alone," Thalia told her looking away. She was the third one and it was clear she was trying to aggravate her by calling her Miss Ashton. Everything made sense now. The hospital staff's dislike toward her was because people believed the woman named Natalia had caused her death. According to the news online, she -Thalia- had found out about Gideon's affair and killed herself because she couldn't handle the betrayal. There was no note or will left behind so she didn't understand how people had come to that conclusion. But that wasn't the problem. Her biggest dilemma was how she'd ended up as Natalia. The same woman her husband was having an affair with. Thalia could get behind the notion that perhaps some supe
"Miss Ashton, we ran some..." "It's Ashcroft." She corrected the doctor for probably the tenth time that day. Thalia didn't understand why they kept getting her name wrong. It wasn't as if Ashton and Ashcroft sounded the same. And what sort of doctor didn't know his patient's name? That was how they mixed up results and ended up giving patients the wrong diagnosis. As soon as she got a hold of Jennifer, she was leaving that hospital. "Ma'am," the doctor said "We ran more tests on you and they came back normal" "Why does that sound shocking? There's nothing wrong with me" "Except for the fact that you keep insisting your name is Thalia Ashcroft" "Because it is" "I'll have one of the nurses bring in a mirror. You can look at it and tell me who you see. Tell me if the name matches the face" Thalia peered up at the man. He was middle aged and since they let him treat patients, she assumed he was qualified. But his methods of treatment were concerning. She'd barely slept after
Past Eight-year-old Tanner was having a faceoff with a dog. The animal's suspicious eyes kept him frozen in place. Every time he tried to move, it would flash its teeth as a warning. Silently telling him running was a bad idea because he couldn't outrun it. He wasn't afraid of dogs. Anyone who knew him had to know he wasn't afraid of anything. He was only being cautious. After all, there were cases of dogs biting people. Not all of them were bad but he was too young to tell them apart so he chose to keep his distance. But despite trying his best to be calm and courageous, he was seconds away from screaming for help. They'd just moved there and he had decided to look around the neighborhood when he came across the animal. It seemed that he had accidentally entered their neighbor's backyard and spooked the dog. Even so, he was still a child. Couldn't a dog tell the difference between a child and a grown-up? Good from bad? His father had told him they were intelligent animals. Was tha
"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...
