My husband was dead. He had saved a girl from drowning, yet he himself perished in the icy river. As I sank into a chasm of grief, the girl's father appeared at my door. He glared at me and demanded, "Where is my daughter's necklace? She was wearing it before she fell into the water!" Rage surged through me, and in the heat of our confrontation, he ended up dead. Then my phone… came alive. "Hide the body. The police are coming. I'll teach you how to dispose of a corpse…"

"Sorry, Chloe. I really have an emergency!" After ten years of dating, my Alpha mate, Aiden Rothschild, made yet another excuse about handling pack affairs and left halfway through our candlelit dinner. Then, I saw a post by Aiden’s childhood sweetheart, Lana, on social media. In the photo, Aiden was gently holding her foot. [Twisted my ankle a little while cleaning the roof. It got better quickly, but Aiden still rushed over the moment he heard. No matter when I need you, you're always there. That's the reason I feel more blessed than any other woman!] In the past, I would’ve definitely confronted Aiden in anger, only to be scolded for being unreasonable. This time, though, I numbly finished my own meal in silence. I had promised my mentor I would soon leave for a secluded healing assignment in the Northern Territory. It wasn’t until I got in the car to leave the pack and tried to say goodbye to Aiden one last time that I received a video from Lana. It was her and Aiden playing Truth or Dare, calling each other "baby". I wiped away my tears and simply replied, "As long as you’re having fun." However, Aiden panicked. His eyes were red as he messaged me: [Chloe, why aren’t you even mad after seeing that? Do you even love me anymore?!] He tried to confront me in person, only to realize he couldn’t find me anywhere. That day, he completely broke down.

Dad attends a banquet with his ex-girlfriend, and they make headlines. Everyone mocks Mom for this, saying that she hasn't gotten anything out of her relationship with Dad. They make fun of her for giving up her successful career for his sake to end up with nothing—she can't even tell a homewrecker off. Mom looks at me tiredly after bawling her eyes out. "He let me down first, so I don't want him anymore. Do you want to leave with me, Rosie?" Just then, my phone pings. I've received a text from my boyfriend of seven years. "I'm just going through the motions and registering my marriage with someone else, Rosalie. You'll still be my girlfriend!" After a brief silence, I nod and tell Mom I'll leave with her. On the day of the double weddings, Mom and I disappear after a fire at our villa.

"Rena, aku akan selalu mencintaimu!" desah Jeremy tak tertahankan. Tepat saat dia hampir mencapai klimaks, ponselnya tiba-tiba bergetar. Dalam kondisi seperti itu, tentu saja dia mengabaikannya. Namun tak lama kemudian, layar ponselnya menyala. Begitu Jeremy melihat nama yang tertera, tubuhnya langsung menegang. Rena mendengarnya mengangkat telepon dan berkata, "Halo?" Di tengah sunyinya malam, suara dari ponsel terdengar sangat jelas, "Jeremy, kamu tahu nggak ... Nadia ...." Jeremy buru-buru memotongnya dengan suara rendah dalam bahasa asing, "Kecilkan suaramu, ini bukan waktu yang tepat." Lawan bicaranya langsung berganti bahasa, tetapi suaranya tetap terdengar keras, "Hasil pemeriksaan rumah sakit sudah keluar. Nadia kena kanker stadium akhir. Hidupnya tinggal sebulan! Dia ingin jadi istrimu. Kamu bisa nggak kabulkan keinginan terakhirnya sebelum dia pergi?" Ekspresi Jeremy langsung berubah drastis. "Apa?! Tunggu aku!" Setelah menutup telepon, dia menoleh ke Rena dan berkata dengan lembut, "Rena, aku ada urusan penting, harus keluar sebentar. Kamu istirahat saja dulu, nanti aku segera balik." Tanpa menunggu jawaban darinya, Jeremy buru-buru pergi untuk bersih-bersih dan mengganti pakaian. Dia meninggalkan rumah tanpa menoleh sedikit pun. Sesaat kemudian, layar ponsel Rena menyala. Ternyata pesan dari Nadia. [ Rena, kamu kalah. Dari dulu aku sudah bilang, Jeremy itu milikku. ] Tepat di bawahnya, ada pesan lain yang dikirim tiga hari lalu. [ Kalau aku kena kanker, menurutmu Jeremy bakal ninggalin kamu buat datang ke aku nggak? Aku yakin dia pasti datang. ] Tatapan Rena perlahan terangkat dari layar ponsel ke arah pintu kamar yang masih terbuka. Jeremy tidak tahu, dia sudah lama belajar bahasa asing itu. Seluruh percakapan tadi, didengar dan dipahaminya dengan jelas. Sejenak kemudian, wajah Rena menyunggingkan senyuman yang begitu pahit dan menyedihkan. "Iya ... aku memang kalah ...."

I die in the corridor of the private hospital my husband established after being forced to give my heart to his true love. Before my death, my six-year-old son tearfully begs him to save me thrice. The first time, he holds my husband's hand and says I'm coughing up blood. My husband sneers. "Looks like she's learned tricks—she knows how to teach children to lie now." Then, he has his bodyguards kick my son out of the ward. The second time, my son grabs his sleeve and says I'm in so much pain that I'm incoherent. My husband frowns. "It's just a heart transplant. The doctor said she won't die." The bodyguards step forward and drag my son out of the ward again. The third time, my son grovels at my husband's feet and grabs his pants, sobbing and saying that I'm already unconscious. My husband is infuriated. He grabs my son by the neck and throws him out of the ward. "I told you Nadia won't die! I'll throw her and you out of the hospital if you come here and disturb Ruby's rest again!" My son gives his most previous item—a guardian angel pendant—to a nurse to save me. The nurse accepts it and arranges for me to be admitted to the last available ward in the hospital. However, Ruby Sharpe has someone stand before it with her pet dog. She says, "Sorry, kiddo. Your father's worried I'll be bored without my dog, so this ward has been set aside for my dog to stay in."

As the flames engulfed my body in the underground warehouse, I used the last of my strength to call my brother, the new Don of the Moretti family. Just as I was about to draw my last breath, Lorenzo finally answered, his voice as cold as the Sicilian winter wind. "Isabella, what the hell are you up to now?" "Brother, save me…" My voice was barely a whisper, but he cut me off without a hint of mercy. "Can't you go one day without causing trouble?" "Liliana's debutante dinner is next week. If you don't show up, I'll drag you back here myself." He hung up without a second thought, completely oblivious to the desperation in my voice. Despair mingled with the searing agony that wracked my body as the flames danced higher, and I couldn't hold on any longer. As I closed my eyes, tears still trickled from their corners. You won't have to drag me back, my brother. I'm never coming back.
