On the eve of giving birth, my world turned into a nightmare. My husband’s sworn enemy broke into our home, seeking revenge. I was brutally cut open and my baby was ripped from me. Yet, I made the chilling choice not to call my husband for help. In my previous life, desperate and terrified, I begged him to return home. He abandoned a Valentine’s dinner with a scholarship student to rush back. That night, the student was preyed upon in a bar, leading to her tragic suicide. My husband’s wrath was unrelenting. Blaming me for her death, he locked me in a kennel, leaving me to be savaged to death. “This is the pain Wynne endured because of you. Now it’s your turn to suffer!” Given a second chance, I resolved to make a different choice. This time, I let him stay for his romantic Valentine’s evening with her. But when I returned home, he had spiraled into madness.

Mon compagnon Alpha pensait que je ne savais pas qu'il avait un petit Oméga métis avec sa maîtresse Oméga, mais j'avais découvert son secret depuis longtemps. Je l'ai menacé pour qu'il rompe avec sa maîtresse, sinon je cacherais leur enfant et lui ferais regretter pour toujours. Mais je n'ai absolument rien fait, leur enfant a disparu. Il m'a enfermée dans une cage d'argent et m'a même laissée voir mon fils souffrir pour m'interroger sur l'endroit où se trouvait leur enfant. Mais quand mon fils est vraiment mort, j'ai complètement abandonné et je suis partie. Le puissant Alpha s'est effondré.

Sebuah kecelakaan membuatku buta. Karena merasa bersalah, Hanni pindah ke rumahku, ingin merawatku. Namun, sejak dia pindah ke rumahku, ketika aku dan suamiku, Erwin, berhubungan, entah kenapa ritmenya selalu terputus-putus. Setiap kali kami melakukannya, aku bisa mendengar napas orang ketiga di sekitarku. Hingga aku terjatuh dan secara tidak sengaja mendapatkan kembali penglihatanku, aku melihat Erwin berbaring di sampingku, dengan Hanni dalam pelukannya. Hanni melihatku yang 'buta' dengan provokatif, lalu berbisik di telingaku. "Carikan dia satu pria. Dia nggak bisa lihat, jadi kalau main berempat bakal lebih menantang."

At our wedding ceremony, the four-year-old nephew of my fiance, Michael Thompson, suddenly rushes onto the stage. He grabs his uncle's hand and cries, "Daddy, why are you marrying another woman? Don't you want me and Mommy anymore?" Seeing this, Lisa Jenner quickly runs over to intervene. She sounds apologetic, but her words are slightly provocative. "I'm so sorry, Sarah. Danny lost his father when he was little and has always seen Michael as his dad. He didn't mean to cause trouble." Even Michael remains completely calm as he picks up Danny. He explains to me, "Before David passed away, he made me promise to take care of his widow and child. I only let Danny call me 'Daddy' so he could have a normal childhood. You understand, right?" As I look at the three of them, standing there like the perfect family, I laugh coldly and rip off my veil. "This poor child has been through so much. How could I possibly steal his dad away? "You know what? Why don't I just let Lisa take my place up here? Then you can have your happy little family of three."

In my previous cycle, when I graduated from university, my cousin Laura gave me a gramophone. But after I received the gramophone, accidents kept befalling my family. In the end, even my boyfriend betrayed me to be with her. It was only then that I learned that all of this was my cousin’s scheme. After I got to the current cycle, I pretended to accept my cousin’s present but never used the gramophone. It led to the curse delivering such a vicious backlash to my cousin and her entire family that they died.

I was once the most respected female intelligence officer in the underworld. I controlled black market trade, port lockdowns, and risk assessments for every smuggling route. These were the basics every new recruit learned on their first day in the Mafia. But my intel was never reliable. As time went by, everyone caught on. In this city, whether the ports were locked down or open for business didn't depend on intel. It depended on whether Vincenzo's childhood friend was in a bad mood. I had just sent an order over the family's secure channel: "Level-one lockdown. All shipping routes are closed." A moment later, the ports were thrown wide open. My rival mocked me in front of everyone. "Isabella's supposed to be the queen of underworld intelligence, isn't she? What happened, did she lose her touch?" Other family members twisted the knife without a second thought. "Her husband changes the rules at a word from his precious Amelia. Who's going to listen to her anymore?" "She's on the hook for any losses from this. That route reopening is going to bankrupt her!" I clutched a stack of formal censures from the family. I said nothing. It didn't matter. I was done being a pawn in their games. Soon, I would be gone for good.

Josua memakai pakaian pengiring pria datang bergandengan tangan dengan Hani di pesta pernikahan, sementara jas pengantin pria ditelantarkan ke sofa. "Josua, hari ini 'kan hari pernikahan ki ..." "Neti!" Josua memotong pembicaraanku dan tatapannya penuh dengan peringatan. "Aku rasa kau tahu apa saja yang boleh dibicarakan. Berlapang dadalah. Jangan sampai aku membencimu." Aku tersenyum pahit. Oleh karena cinta pertama Josua hilang ingatan, semua orang bermain permainan mencari ingatan. Jadi, kami tidak diperbolehkan untuk merangsangnya. Demi menghiburku, Josua berjalan ke depan dan memelukku, lalu berbisik, "Neti, kau bisa memahamiku, 'kan?" Aku menunduk setuju, lalu berpaling menikah dengan pengiring pria sesungguhnya. Kemudian, saat aku hamil dan berbelanja di mal, Josua malah menghentikanku dan menangis, "Neti, bukankah kita sedang berakting? Kenapa kau hamil?"

I had just given birth when the country sent me on a secret mission that kept me undercover for seven years. When it finally ended, I came home on leave. I was eager to see my husband and children, whom I had missed every single day. However, the moment my car stopped at the gate, I saw my two children—my most precious treasures—being shoved down the steps by a woman. They tumbled hard, and they were covered in bruises. The next second, three snarling wolfhounds were released from the house, and they pounced on the children with bared teeth. Fury surged through me, and I charged forward. I got the dogs away with a few swift kicks and punches. Amid the animals’ pitiful howls, my ten-year-old son instinctively shielded his sister. His young face was pale with fear. Meanwhile, my eight-year-old daughter snapped out of her daze and trembled as she urged me to leave. “Miss, run! You hurt her dogs, and if Dad finds out, he won’t let you get away with it!” I forced down my anger and gently said, “She set the dogs on you first. Even if your dad were here, he’d protect you just like I did.” I did not expect this to make their eyes instantly fill with tears. Alarmed, I was about to ask what was wrong when a woman’s arrogant voice rang out. “You vagrant! I have a close relationship with Martin Gray, and I’m also the lady of the Gray family! “You and these two brats who dirtied my house aren’t leaving in one piece today!” I froze for a second before I took a deep breath and called my husband. “Martin, who’s this woman proclaiming to be the lady of the Gray family? Where did she come from? You’d better have a good explanation for this. And tell me, when did the house I left for John and Katy get a new owner?”
