My husband, tech billionaire Amir Carter, was a god in Chicago. For five years, he was the perfect husband, and I, a pediatric doctor, believed I had finally tamed the infamous playboy. But when my brother Keon needed an urgent heart transplant, everything fell apart. The donor Amir found was a young singer-exactly his type. On the day of the surgery, as my brother was dying, I found my husband comforting her. "Don't pressure her, Blake," he said. "She's delicate." Then the call came. My brother was dead. Amir didn't even notice, annoyed that I was stressing out his new project. He pushed me down a flight of stairs, crashed his car into my taxi to protect her, and gave her the last gift my brother ever made for me. He saw me bleeding on the floor and walked right past, his only concern for the woman who let my brother die. My fairy tale was a lie. I was just another one of his seasonal projects, now completed and discarded. He took everything from me. So I signed the divorce papers, refused his millions, and vanished.

On the day of the surgery, as my brother was dying, I found my husband comforting her.

"Don't pressure her, Blake," he said. "She's delicate."

Then the call came. My brother was dead. Amir didn't even notice, annoyed that I was stressing out his new project.

He pushed me down a flight of stairs, crashed his car into my taxi to protect her, and gave her the last gift my brother ever made for me.

He saw me bleeding on the floor and walked right past, his only concern for the woman who let my brother die. My fairy tale was a lie. I was just another one of his seasonal projects, now completed and discarded.

He took everything from me. So I signed the divorce papers, refused his millions, and vanished. Now, he's left alone with the truth: he killed my brother, and he didn't even know it.

Chapter 1

My brother died because my husband chose another woman over him. That was the raw, unvarnished truth that clawed at my insides, a truth more brutal than any surgical incision I' d ever made.

Amir Carter was a god in Chicago, or at least, that' s what the headlines said. Tech billionaire, visionary, charisma that could charm the clothes off a senator. But beneath that polished veneer was a man who saw people as projects, particularly young, impressionable women with untapped talent.

He built them up, molded them, sometimes even loved them-for a season. Then he moved on, leaving a trail of broken dreams and shattered careers in his wake. I' d seen the whispers in financial rags, the hushed gossip at charity galas. There was the indie film director he' d bankrolled and then discarded, the fashion designer whose label he' d launched and then let crash. They all had the same wide-eyed ambition, the same youthful vulnerability that Amir seemed to gravitate towards. He called them "muses." I called them victims.

I was different, or so I thought. I was Blake Franklin, a pediatric resident with calloused hands and a heart full of empathy. My world was sick children and late-night shifts, a stark contrast to Amir's high-flying empire. We met when I was twenty-seven, just young enough, I now realize, to fit his pattern. But I wasn' t an artist. I was a doctor, grounded and practical.

He pursued me like a predator, relentless and charming. Flowers filled my tiny apartment until it smelled like a funeral home. Limousines appeared at the hospital entrance after my shifts, whisking me away to dinners where he knew my favorite dish before I even ordered it. He memorized my coffee order, the exact shade of blue I loved, the obscure medical journals I read. He saw me, truly saw me, or so he made me believe.

He was infamous for his fleeting attachments. But for me, he seemed to change. He started attending my medical conferences, sitting through hours of jargon just to be near me. He even donated millions to the children's hospital, funding a new wing dedicated to cutting-edge research. People whispered that I had "tamed the beast." I was the one who could finally anchor the restless tech titan.

Then came the night he proposed. A packed gala, a dazzling diamond, and a speech about "finding his forever" that brought tears to my eyes and hushed admiration from everyone present. I floated through our wedding, convinced I' d found my fairy tale.

For five years, he was the perfect husband. Attentive, generous, fiercely protective. His possessiveness, I now understand, was not love, but a desire to own. I mistook it for fierce devotion. His world was my oyster. My life, once so ordinary, was now gilded with luxury and adoration.

Then Keon, my bright, artistic younger brother, fell ill. A rare, aggressive cardiomyopathy. His heart was failing. We needed a transplant, and we needed it fast.

Amir, true to his public persona, mobilized his vast resources. He launched a global PR campaign, leveraging his influence to find a donor. And a miracle happened. A match was found.

Her name was Hailie Snider. A struggling singer-songwriter, barely twenty-one. Young. Raw. Undiscovered. And suddenly, my stomach dropped. This was his type.

I met her at the hospital. She seemed so fragile, overwhelmed by the weight of her brother's death and the decision she had to make. I pushed down the chill that snaked through me. My brother's life was at stake. I couldn't let my paranoia cloud my judgment.

Keon was prepped for surgery, his small body hooked up to a tangle of tubes and wires. His eyes, usually so full of life, were distant and weary. Every minute counted.

The day of the transplant, Keon' s vitals plummeted. His heart was giving out. The surgical team was ready, waiting for Hailie' s final consent. I called her phone, again and again. No answer. My heart hammered against my ribs, each beat a painful thud of despair.

Finally, she picked up, her voice small and trembling. "I... I don't know, Blake. It's just so much."

"Hailie, please," I pleaded, my voice cracking. "Keon is dying. There's no more time."

Then I heard his voice, low and intimate, in the background. "Don't pressure her, Blake. She's delicate."

My world tilted. It was Amir. He was with her.

I hung up, the phone a dead weight in my trembling hand. A sickening wave of nausea washed over me. I ran from the hospital, my scrubs a blur against the sterile white walls, my mind a storm of disbelief and rage. I knew where he kept his "creative sanctuary," a secluded loft downtown.

The elevator ride felt like an eternity. When the doors finally hissed open, the scene ripped through me. Amir, his arm wrapped around Hailie's slender waist, her head resting on his shoulder. They were laughing, a sound that pierced my eardrums like shards of glass. My husband, who should have been by my side, was comforting his new protégé.

"She just needs time, Blake," he said, pulling Hailie closer, his eyes devoid of any concern for me. "This is a big decision for her. We can't rush her unique emotional process."

My phone vibrated then, an icy dread creeping up my spine. It was the hospital. I already knew.

"Dr. Franklin," the voice on the other end was strained, "we... we lost him. Keon's heart gave out."

The phone slipped from my fingers, clattering to the polished concrete floor, the sound swallowed by the sudden, deafening silence in my head. My legs gave out. I crumpled to the ground, the cold biting at my skin.

Amir just looked down at me, a flicker of annoyance in his eyes. "Blake, what are you doing here? You know how Hailie gets stressed."

He didn't know. He didn't know Keon was gone. He was still talking about her stress. My fairy tale was a lie. I was just another season in his cycle, a project completed and forgotten, replaced by a younger, fresher canvas. I was nothing. And Keon was dead.

My vision blurred, the world dissolving into a hazy, painful kaleidoscope. The betrayal was a physical weight, crushing me into the ground.

Amir didn't even notice. He was still stroking Hailie's hair, completely oblivious to the crater his selfishness had just blown through my life.

Werewolf

I was the Weaver, the only wolf capable of knitting the spiritual wards that protected our billion-dollar empire. But to my husband, the Alpha, I was just a piece of malfunctioning tech. Ten years ago, I crushed my spine and destroyed my womb pulling him from a burning car. Now, because I couldn't give him an heir, he treated me like a ghost in his own home. The breaking point wasn't the affair. It was seeing Brendan, the man who once told me "Alphas do not kneel," drop to one knee on a public sidewalk to tie his pregnant mistress's sneaker. He touched her stomach with a reverence he had never shown me. That night, his mistress sent me a video of them together, captioning it: He's painting the sky for our son. What did he paint for you? Nothing. Because you're barren. I realized then that a divorce wouldn't free me. He would never release his most valuable asset. The Mate Bond was a chain, and as long as my wolf lived, I was his prisoner. I didn't want his money. I didn't want an apology. I wanted total erasure. So, I bought a forbidden potion called Tabula Rasa. It doesn't just wipe your memory; it dissolves the wolf spirit with acid and severs the soul-tie. I rigged the estate's defense wards to self-destruct, melted my Luna ring into a lump of slag, and drank the poison. When Brendan finally rushed home, terrified by the collapsing wards, he found me standing over the shattered vial. He screamed my name, trying to use the Alpha Command to make me submit. But I just looked at this weeping stranger with calm, human eyes and asked, "Who are you?"

Romance

The sterile scent of antiseptic clung to me, a cruel reminder of my last moments. Just hours after giving birth, my stepsister, Emily, forced poison down my throat, her beautiful face twisted in a triumphant smirk. My husband, Mark, stood by, his hands pinning me to the hospital bed, his eyes cold and indifferent as life drained from mine. They told the world I died of childbirth complications; a tragic accident. Emily and Mark built their perfect family on the foundation of my unmarked grave. But then, a violent gasp jolted me awake. I shot up in bed, my chest heaving, the scent of antiseptic replaced by cool air and familiar sunlight. I wasn't dead. My body was unblemished, my stomach flat. I was back in my old bedroom, a month before they framed me, a month before I was forced to marry Mark. Rage and betrayal solidified within me-not a fleeting flame, but an unshakeable stone. "Is everything ready for tonight?" my stepmother, Mrs. Davis, whispered downstairs, her voice sharp and calculating. "The drug is in the drink," Emily replied sweetly. "Once Chloe has it, we get her to the hotel room. A few photographers, a 'concerned' call to the Wilsons... and her reputation will be ruined forever." Their plan, so wicked and perfect, was laid bare, just as I remembered. Frame me, ruin me, force me into marriage, then erase me entirely. But this time, I knew their game. And this time, I wouldn't be a pawn. I would be the one setting the board.

For two years, I was Alpha Jase Davenport's loyal assistant and secret bed-warmer. Because I was a wolfless Omega, I trusted his empty promises instead of instincts I didn't possess. Then, a push notification from a notorious gossip blog shattered my world. Jase was pictured in Paris, his hand intimately resting on the waist of my cruel stepsister, Kira. The headline screamed that he was finally claiming his fated Luna. Before I could even process the betrayal, Jase texted me a cold command to update his schedule, treating me like a soulless employee. Immediately after, my mother called to gloat. "Did you honestly believe an Alpha like Jase would settle for a defective creature like you?" She threatened to freeze my late father's Pack trust fund unless I agreed to marry an abusive, elderly Alpha to be his breeding mare. If I refused, I would be cast out as a penniless stray, easy prey for any Rogue. I was nothing but a convenient placeholder to Jase, and a piece of livestock to my own family. They thought they had me completely cornered, ready to steal my inheritance and leave me to die. But as the panic subsided, a cold clarity took its place. My father's will only required a legal mating bond to unlock my millions; it never said my family had to approve of the groom. I wiped my tears, opened my laptop, and searched for a disgraced, debt-ridden Rogue named Babe Vincent. If I needed a husband on paper to secure my freedom, I was going to buy one.

Rum Runner

My husband stood by the window of his Manhattan office, his silhouette cutting through the storm like a blade. He didn't even look at me as he tossed the divorce papers onto the desk, his voice a cold baritone. "Sign it," Isaiah commanded, "or your brother’s dialysis treatment ends today." He believed the lie that I had pushed his pregnant mistress down a flight of stairs in a jealous rage. To save my dying brother, I signed the confession and accepted the role of a murderer, trading my freedom for a life of disgrace. At the funeral, Isaiah forced me to crawl on my knees through the freezing mud to the grave while a mob of mourners spat on me and cursed my name. When I went to prison, his influence followed me into the showers, where inmates told me the King wanted me to "remember my crime" before they used rusty shears to hack off my finger. Five years later, I was a ghost living in a damp basement with the son Isaiah never knew I had, hiding my mangled hand under a leather glove. When he eventually tracked us down, he didn't show mercy; he tore my son from my arms, calling me an unfit monster and swearing I would rot in a cage. I couldn't understand how the man I once loved could look at my broken body and see only a criminal, never realizing that every scar I carried was a gift from his own hatred. As he walked away with my child, I swallowed a bottle of pills to end the nightmare, leaving Isaiah to rip the glove from my hand and discover the mangled truth just as my eyes finally closed.

The Placeholder Bride's Secret Billionaire Revenge

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran's "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father's multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city's most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins-the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street-and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.
