The first time Shelby Ye saw Jackson Jiang, she wanted to be his girlfriend. It took her five years to muster the courage to...sleep with him. But it was not over. After that, she ran away. The man caught her in fury, "Run again?" He imprisoned her in the name of agreement and never looked into her heart. She decided to run and try again.

Chapter 1 Do you still want to live or not

"Do you still want to live or not?"

Shelby King's heart thumped a bit, lowered her eyes and pressed the cotton ball, laughing in pale: "Why are you making a big deal about it? Just a fever, though."

"Shelby, are you aware of the severity of leukemia or not?"

The elegant face of the diagnostician, was full of chill, forcing his anger: "Now even the common cold virus can kill you!"

He wrote the diagnosis in a flowing script with an expressionless face: "I don't care what kind of star you are, call your agent immediately for hospitalization."

"Senior."

The physician's pen twisted suddenly and redundant strokes appeared.

Shelby's white eyes obstinately looked at Jonathan Smith with a weak plea, "I owe you a favor."

Jonathan pinched his brows with a little obscure under his eyes.

After a while, he compromised, "It's fine not to be hospitalized, but come here to check up regularly, and avoid excessive exercise during the day, don't bleed and leave wounds on your body, and....."

He suddenly paused and looked at her, "Did you take your medicine on time?"

"Yes, I did." She kept the pills in another medicine bottle for fear of being found out.

Jonathan's brows locked lightly, his eyes were still showing disapproving: "If the fever comes back, you must be hospitalized!"

Shelby obediently nodded, her fingers slightly clenched, "Senior, how much time do I have if I don't find the bone marrow?"

Jonathan's face swiftly changed, just about to speak, Shelby looked at him with bitterness in her eyes and a struggle: "I want to hear the truth."

"...Less than a year."

Was that all the time she had left?

Shelby froze, and the place near her heart faintly ached.

Jackson Johnson .......

Jonathan's brows furrowed, not wanting to let Shelby lose her hope, soothing her: "I am here with you, I will definitely cure you."

Shelby bit her lips tightly and raised her eyes, "Senior, if I get pregnant, what are the chances of a successful delivery?"

"Are you crazy?"

Jonathan's face suddenly sank.

"In your current condition, pregnancy will speed up the deterioration of your condition! You probably won't even last six months!"

Shelby smiled bitterly in her heart, but she wanted a child.

A child of hers and Jackson's.

But .........

Shelby left the clinic in a daze. She wondered if her fever was too heavy, she saw Jackson in a trance.

He snuggled up a beauty tightly in his arms, with a look of tenderness she had never seen before.

And the woman in his arms, full of shyness, was the hit star Zoey Wilson!

Turn out all the photos taken online were real!

Shelby was feeling breathless and there were almost tears coming into her dry red eyes.

No wonder he hadn't come home for days on end. It turned out that he was tired of her.

Shelby's felt bitter in her mouth, but the next second she seemed to see Jackson glancing this way.

Afraid of being discovered by the man, she hurriedly turned around, only to accidentally hit the nursing cart that the nurse had pushed, letting out a 'thud'.

She blanched in pain.

The nurse was startled, just as she was inquiring, a white shadow hurriedly swept past and nervously asked Shelby, "How is it? Any injuries on your skin?"

Then he yelled at the nurse, "What were you doing without even noticing if there's anyone in front of you?"

The nurse didn't expect that Doctor Smith, who had always been mild-mannered, would actually throw a fit and ran away with red eyes on the spot.

A cold sweat seeped from the corner of Shelby's forehead as she held back the pain and said, "Doctor Smith, I'm fine."

Jonathan frowned and directly squatted down to examine her legs.

He had just reached out when someone pushed him away.

Jonathan was slightly annoyed and when he looked up, he found that it was a handsome, cold man.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."

"Anya, a 'wolfless' in a world of powerful werewolves, was invisible, drowning her sorrows and desperately lonely. One drunken text, a desperate cry for attention, accidentally reached the Alpha, pulling her into his terrifying orbit. Now, she's trapped, a pawn in his game, forced to warm his bed while he waits for his true mate, her heart breaking with every stolen moment. As a 'wolfless' in the Blackwood Pack, Anya felt like an outsider, always yearning for a connection. One night, in a drunken haze, a misdirected text meant for her best friend landed in Alpha Declan Blackwood's inbox: ""Send me something hot."" Minutes later, the most powerful, terrifying man in the Pack stood at her door, claiming her with a possessive kiss that ignited a dangerous, unwanted fire. The next morning, his cold indifference shattered her world. Publicly humiliated and instantly fired, Anya became a pariah. Her dying mother's urgent need for a million-dollar heart transplant left her with an impossible choice: accept the Alpha's cold, transactional marriage proposal or watch her mother die. She became his ""placeholder"" wife, a contract, not a partner, all while battling a confusing attraction to the man who treated her as property. Why did he demand her, only to remind her constantly of her worthlessness, especially when everyone knew he waited for his true mate? Her world crumbled when she overheard Declan tell his returning ""true mate,"" Kristin Larsen, that Anya was ""just a substitute."" Despite the crushing betrayal and a strange, unyielding pull, Anya, fueled by her mother's desperate need, vowed to survive this gilded cage and reclaim her life before she lost herself completely."
