On the day of getting the marriage certificate, Eva was betrayed by her love and best friend. She was drowning her sorrow until midnight. Unexpect to her, she accidentally got a CEO husband on her way coming home. After having a flash marriage with him, she found that her newly-married husband was a murderer! A star who had died miserably, a series of murders, and the resurrection of the victim... In front of so many dangers and secrets, she gradually indulged herself in his protection. But, where should her love go?

Chapter 1 What Do You Think Of Me

It was a clear night with a bright moon and just a few stars.

Eva Lu was staggering along on a desolate road. Suddenly, she stumbled and fell to her knees. She propped herself up and cursed, "William, you bastard!"

She was in a sorry state. She had been happily waiting for her boyfriend at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage licenses on their third dating anniversary. However, he had never showed up. At last, she had gotten a message from him, which shattered her heart into a million pieces.

"Eva, I'm sorry. I think I have always been in love with Rosy. Let's break up!"

'Let's break up!' The three words ended their three-year relationship in an instant.

Eva Lu deleted all his contact information at once and went to a bar to drink away her grief.

A car screeched to a halt one centimeter away from Eva Lu. The man inside rolled down his car window and said coldly, "Get out of the way."

The strong headlights made her eyes hurt. She squinted uncomfortably and stood in front of the car. With a bottle of wine in one hand, she pressed down on the hood of the car with the other. Whistling casually, she remarked, "Dude, good driving skills!"

Looking at the drunkard in front of him, Ron Jiang suppressed his impatience and repeated, "Get out of the way."

Detecting the forbearance in his tone, Eva Lu raised her eyebrows and burped loudly. She waved her hand and shook her head. "The road is so wide. Where can't you go from there? Why do you have to go from my side?"

Looking at the narrow passage, Ron Jiang pressed his lips into a thin line and decided not to argue with the drunk woman. Starting the car, he began retreating, but she unexpectedly walked around the car, leaned into his window, and stared straight at him.

"Why am I so unlucky?" Eva Lu sighed and the strong smell of alcohol filled his nostrils. With a frown, Ron Jiang reached out to raise the window but was stopped by her.

"Hey, stranger, let's chat for a while," Eva Lu said, looking at him seriously.

Ron Jiang stared into her eyes, which were deep and melancholy, like the most brilliant river of stars in the universe. Intrigued, he turned off the engine and nodded. "Go ahead."

Eva Lu said with a smile, "Then come out of the car. It's tiring to stand like this!"

Ron Jiang's face darkened and he replied curtly, "I don't have time to talk to you. Let go of me."

"No way!" Alcohol made people foolhardy. Eva Lu felt the man's coldness but she still tugged his sleeve, trying to drag him out.

"Crazy woman!" roared Ron Jiang angrily. He was a neat freak and didn't like to be manhandled. Twisting his arm, he easily escaped her clutches and drove away.

Eva Lu fell to the ground awkwardly. Hugging her knees, she buried her head between her legs and sobbed softly.

How could she not be sad?

She was an orphan and went to college when she was eighteen years old. She got into a medical college purely on merit and there she met her only friend, Rosy Jiang. After graduation, she fell in love with William Yu. They had been together for three years now.

But the eight years of friendship and three years of love collapsed in an instant.

It was heartbreaking.

After she had cried to her heart's content, she wiped her tears and found a pair of shiny leather shoes in front of her. "Why are you crying?" asked the man calmly.

Eva Lu, who was in a trance, faintly smelled blood but she ignored it. Smiling bitterly, she said, "My boyfriend is in love with my bestie. How can I not cry?"

Ron Jiang was silent. He had a happy childhood, his parents were in love, and he had a good relationship with his brother. He hadn't been in love yet, so he was unable to empathize with her. If the Jiang family found out that he was kindly comforting a heartbroken drunkard on the roadside, they would be shocked.

After a moment's silence, Eva Lu smiled drunkenly and said, "I'm so stupid crying for a man. Why can't I find someone else? There are so many men in the world. Right?"

Ron Jiang squinted and nodded, "Yes."

"By the way, are you married? Do you have a girlfriend?" asked Eva Lu, changing the topic.

"No."

Eva was surprised. "You look like you're more than 30 years old but you are still unmarried?" Ignoring the man's sour expression, she staggered to her feet, put her hand on his shoulder and blinked. "What do you think of me? How about we follow the latest trend and have a flash marriage? I have money, a car, and a house, enough to support you," she gloated.

Ron Jiang, the CEO of J Group, the leading pharmaceutical company in H Country, was over 30 years of age. No one had ever told him that they would support him. Hearing this, Ron Jiang laughed out of anger. He was about to respond when he heard a blaring ringtone.

Eva Lu waved her hand and answered the phone. He didn't know what the person on the other end of the phone was saying, but her face suddenly became serious. She suppressed her drunken state and said, "Okay, I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, she patted his shoulder and said gratefully, "Thank you. I have to go to work now. You'd better go home quickly. It's dangerous outside."

With that, she turned around and left, ignoring his darkened face again.

The Empire Theatre in J City was five hundred meters away from where Eva Lu was.

There was a hubbub at the place. There was a barricade tape near the backstage area. The staff had gathered there and the atmosphere was tense.

"Excuse me, please." Putting on her lab coat, Eva Lu squeezed through the crowd and walked over the barricade tape. "Hilary, where is the corpse?" she asked.

Hilary Chao, a short-haired girl with black-rimmed glasses, led the way for her. "Eva, the corpse is disgusting. I hope you can bear it!"

Hearing this, Eva Lu chuckled. "I've been a forensic expert for three years. I've seen all kinds of corpses. Don't worry," she assured.

Her major in college was forensic science. When she was in the fourth year of university, she was chosen to work at the J City Police Station due to her excellent grades. She interned there for a year, and after graduation, she started working full time at the police station. When she had started dating William Yu, he had admired her for being brave and meticulous. He had called her his muse. In less than half a year, he had begun to dislike her and complained that she always had a strange smell on her body, reminding him of those rotten, stinky corpses that she had dealt with. She was no longer his muse.

Eva Lu came to her senses as soon as she saw the corpse. She squatted down to inspect it.

Just as Hilary Chao said, the corpse was in a horrible state.

The white cloth covering the dead body was pulled open, revealing a pale face. Eva Lu closed her eyes for a while, suppressed the sadness in her heart, and asked calmly, "Have you found the identity of the victim?"

"The information is here," Hilary Chao replied. "The victim is Adela Song, a 28-year-old actress..."

Eva Lu nodded and stood up. "I'll do a preliminary examination first and send the corpse to the station later. I'll hand over the report to the captain tomorrow morning."

For nine years, I was the "Wolfless Wonder," the shame of the Reyes Pack. I swallowed bitter suppressants every morning to hide my identity as a rare White Wolf, enduring my husband’s coldness just to stay by his side. But tonight, Alpha Dominick shattered whatever bond we had left. He walked into the Annual Gathering with his mistress, Chastity, clinging to his arm, pregnant and smug. When Chastity staged a miscarriage and blamed me, Dominick didn't ask for the truth. He dragged me to the hospital. "She needs blood," he snarled. "O-Negative. Like yours." He used the Alpha Command to force me onto the table. He watched as they drained me dry to save the woman destroying my life. "Alpha, her heart rate is dropping!" the doctor warned. "It will kill her!" Dominick didn't even flinch. "Keep going," he ordered. "Take what you need until Chastity is safe." As the machine beeped and darkness took me, the submissive wife died. I woke up in the morgue holding cell and made a choice. I signed the divorce papers, set the penthouse on fire, and vanished into the night. He thought I burned to death. He didn't know I escaped. Months later, he tracked a ghost to a vineyard in London. But he didn't find the broken girl he sacrificed. He found the White Wolf, glowing with silver magic, standing beside a new mate who actually cherished me. Dominick fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face. "Annis, come home. I command you." I looked down at him and smiled. "Your voice doesn't work on me anymore, Alpha. You killed the part of me that listened."

The forest' s quiet shattered as a bleeding FBI agent burst through my cabin door, collapsing at my feet. My perfectly normal afternoon nap was over, replaced by the immediate, terrifying certainty that trouble had found our isolated home. Ben Carter, handsome even as he bled out, was shot, his partner dead, and he was tangled in a massive counterfeiting ring leading straight to Senator Thompson. My stomach dropped – this was the kind of mess my sheriff dad always warned against. But then, as he gasped for help, a deeper dread set in: he heard my unspeakable thoughts. He heard everything I knew about him, about Thompson, about the danger. My father arrived, intervening with Thompson's thugs, but not before he too picked up on my mental broadcasts, his face paling as he realized the depth of the conspiracy I'd unwittingly revealed. Our quiet life was over, replaced by federal agents, corrupt senators, and a constant, terrifying loss of privacy over my own mind. How could I possibly live like this? My ability, usually just a nuisance, had now put us all in mortal danger, linking us irrevocably to a corrupt politician who wanted Ben dead. This wasn't some fantasy hero journey; it was an exhausting, terrifying invasion of my every private thought, broadcasting them to everyone around me. Yet, as Thompson' s people sped away and Ben lay bleeding on our rug, a terrifying question formed in my mind: if my thoughts were this loud, could they also be my weapon?

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancĂ©, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."

I had been a wife for exactly six hours when I woke up to the sound of my husband’s heavy breathing. In the dim moonlight of our bridal suite, I watched Hardin, the man I had adored for years, intertwined with my sister Carissa on the chaise lounge. The betrayal didn't come with an apology. Hardin stood up, unashamed, and sneered at me. "You're awake? Get out, you frumpy mute." Carissa huddled under a throw, her fake tears already welling up as she played the victim. They didn't just want me gone; they wanted me erased to protect their reputations. When I refused to move, my world collapsed. My father didn't offer a shoulder to cry on; he threatened to have me committed to a mental asylum to save his business merger. "You're a disgrace," he bellowed, while the guards stood ready to drag me away. They had spent my life treating me like a stuttering, submissive pawn, and now they were done with me. I felt a blinding pain in my skull, a fracture that should have broken me. But instead of tears, something dormant and lethal flickered to life. The terrified girl who walked down the aisle earlier that day simply ceased to exist. In her place, a clinical system—the Valkyrie Protocol—booted up. My racing heart plummeted to a steady sixty beats per minute. I didn't scream. I stood up, my spine straightening for the first time in twenty years, and looked at Hardin with the detachment of a surgeon looking at a tumor. "Correction," I said, my voice stripped of its stutter. "You're in my light." By dawn, I had drained my father's accounts, vanished into a storm, and found a bleeding Crown Prince in a hidden safehouse. They thought they had broken a mute girl. They didn't realize they had just activated their own destruction.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.
