Chapter one

Chapter one.Evelyn's POV.“Your husband wants you dead!”My knuckles whitened as my grip on the steering wheel tightened. The person on the other end of the line had to be lying.“That can't be true," I stammered. "There must be some mistake. My husband would never try to kill me.”The line went silent, and for a moment, I thought I'd lost the connection. Then her voice came back, urgent and firm. "I know this is difficult to believe, but you need to get out of the car. Now!”As she spoke, a shiver ran down my spine.That's when I noticed something was wrong. The car was acting strangely. My gaze shifted towards the dashboard, and my heart skipped a beat. The gas gauge needle flickered ominously, and the steering wheel felt unsteady in my hands.I tried to turn the wheel to the right, but the car refused to respond. It continued to speed straight ahead, as if controlled by an invisible force. A cold dread twisted in my stomach. This was not just a coincidence. I slammed the wheel ...

Chapter two
Chapter two.Evelyn’s POV.The doctor's piercing gaze locked onto mine, his eyes assessing me intensely. “This is unusual,” he said, scanning the clipboard, his tone confident. "You did hit your head, but the tests don't show any memory loss. Cases like this are extremely rare, almost unheard of.”I remained silent, gripping the blanket that draped over me. My heart pounds in my chest as he studies me further, hoping he wouldn't expose my secret. His gaze flickered toward my husband. No, Ethan, who stands by the doors. His posture stiff, his expression unreadable, the sight of him sends a cold shiver down my spine. “If you don't mind,” the doctor says.“ I would like to speak to my patient alone for a moment.” Ethan didn’t move at first, his fingers twitch, his jaw clenches, but after a brief hesitation, he nods. His eyes lingered on me for a second, too long before he turned and stepped out of the room, shutting the door behind him. The moment he's gone, I release the breath I

Chapter three
Chapter 3.Evelyn’s POV.Walls of the hospital room felt like they were closing down on me. I felt like I was suffocating, unable to catch my breath. My fingers clutched the coarse fabric of my hospital gown, desperate to anchor myself. But my legs trembled beneath me, and a searing ache spread through my chest. It wasn't physical pain, but the crushing weight of betrayal, threatening to consume me whole.I shouldn't be here, listening to their conversation but my legs couldn't move no matter how hard I tried. I pressed my back against the cold wall.My heart pounded against my ribs as I heard their voices. Their tone was infuriatingly casual, utterly cruel, as if nothing ever happened.Olivia's voice dripped with scorn and amusement. "She's more useless now than ever," she sneered. "Not only is she insane, but also barren. Our child will inherit everything.”The moment I heard those words, I froze on the spot. A cold shivers run down my spine, spreading through my lips like ice.

Chapter four
Chapter 4.Evelyn’s POV.“My wife.”My mouth opened wide, what the heck was going on? Bang!I whipped my head around, my eyes locking onto the source of the noise. Ethan's face was a deep, fiery red, a vein bulging at his temple like a warning sign. His expression was a mix of shock and anger. “You liar!” Ethan roared, his hand twisting into a fist. “She’s my wife.”The man beside me remained calm and composed, utterly unfazed by Ethan's anger. He tilted his head slightly, an amused smirk dancing on his lips, his eyes glinting with a hint of mockery. “I'm lying?” he asked. “That's rich coming from a man who's trying to claim something that was never his to begin with.”Ethan lunged forward, his fists clenched, but before he could reach him, two guards in black suits seized Ethan and Olivia, pinning them in place with an unyielding grip.“Let go of me.” Ethan yelled, struggling against the guard. “You have no right to do this.”Olivia shrieked, trying to claw at the guard's hand,

Chapter five
Chapter 5.Evelyn’s POV. The car ride home was suffocating. Ethan drove, his grip firm on the wheel, but his eyes flicked to me in the rearview mirror. Every few seconds, it wasn't a look of concern, it was something else: like he was studying me. I shifted my gaze, trying to ignore the way my skin prickled under his stare. The leather felt cold against my fingers as I gripped the edge of the seat, my knuckles turning white.Olivia sat beside him, completely unbothered, scrolling through her phone. I forced my breathing to stay even, my hands resting calmly on my lap. If they suspected anything, I was as good as dead. When we pulled up to the house.Ethan opened the door for me. “Let's get you settled down, honey, you need a lot of rest.” He smiled genuinely. I nodded as he guided me to our mansion. Olivia walked behind us. Ethan led me down the hall, he stopped in front of the guest room door.He pushed the door open. “This is your room.” I wanted to yell at him right now,
