Hailey Amaranth, did everything just to make her husband Hunter Lewis love her. A man that she took and should have married her best friend. Hunter promised that he will make Hailey's life miserable and hell. Chaotic, both hurt and both destroyed. Who amongst the two is the real victim, the abductor abused, or the abducted abusive? Is there any hope that they can reconcile or will the wounds remain to deepen in their hearts?

Chapter 1 ONE

I was once a party-goer, a happy-go-lucky, a woman who does everything I like. I grew up getting everything I want. People used to call me a brat, liberated, hoe, and such. But I keep on ignoring them as long as I am happy and I don't run into them.

I am Hailey Amarant, a wicked best friend, a lovable eldest sister, and the daughter of the fearless businessman in our city. And since I grew that my family is powerful, no one dares to cross with me.

I hang out with different guys, not for sex apparently, but, just for fun. Even people saw me as easy to get in bed, I still know how to take care of my body.

I don't know the real meaning of love. For me, love doesn't exist. Love isn't real. Love was invented for people who tried to get attention, for the loner, for those people who had nothing but themselves. They only want someone with them so they will not feel empty.

Not until I met this man named Hunter Lewis. A hot and almost perfect man. Since that day, I know that he is special. He is something that every woman wants. In life, even in bed. His hotness will keep on hunting you saying that you need to have him for you to be happy.

The saddest part is, My childhood best friend Kyla introduced him to me and claimed that he is her fiancée.

I don't know how it happened that Kyla would marry that man. I mean, how the shit happened that they are engaged? I never meet him before. I am with Kyla almost every day and I never meet him even once. All I know is that her boyfriend is Vince. Those stupid --ugh-- never mind.

I'm not interested in him.

Days passed, but Hunter still crossed my mind. Day by day, my eagerness to make him mine become stronger.

And something came up an idea, If I am not mistaken, Lewis's are one of my father's business partners.

I am an Amaranth, and I can get what I want even to cross someone's property. No exemption, no excuses, not even my best friend. No wedding will take place because if there is, it should be just me and Hunter.

I like him, I like him to the point that I changed. Changes that are too far from what I am. Changes that even my family and friends don't recognize me. I forget all my bad habits and tried to catch his attention. I want to be the perfect, humble, and good woman he knows, so I can be fit for him.

But I failed, I failed a hundred times. He keeps on rejecting me and looked at me like I was the dirtiest woman she knew. He throws bad words and said that I should have to forget him. He told me that no matter how happened, he can never be mine.

So, I made some planned. A plan that I know will be effective. The plan will be my last action as a brat. Cause after this plan, I will be the most faithful and devoted wife. I will do everything to win his heart. This is my last option and I know he can't say no, or no one in his family can't say no.

I went to his stag party and paid someone to put sleeping pills on his drink. and that night changed everything on us because I managed to make him mine.

Our both parents saw us on the bed naked and hugging each other. Though, I know that nothing happened to us I did not tell the truth. I want him, I want him.

Hunter knew that nothing happens, he keeps on insisting that nothing happened and that he doesn't remember anything. He loves someone and both of them are planning to get married. He begged me to tell the truth.

He kneels in front of me, cries, and begged me. But, I promised him that I'll make him the happiest man on Earth no matter what happens.

But Hunter refused, he said that if the marriage went ahead my life with him would be miserable. He threatened me that he will make me suffer. But instead of being afraid. I chose to continue the marriage.

God forbid me, but I also don't understand what's up with him and what I'll be able to sacrifice everything just to get him.

And on the wedding day, I didn't expect the words he would release.

"You're gonna suffer until your last breath, Ley. Until you'll beg me to let you go. You want me, don't you? So be it. Because it's not heaven you're going to come home to but a burning hell."

Words I never expected to come true.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.
