On her second wedding anniversary, Carissa found out she was two months pregnant. She was very happy and prepared this as a gift for her husband, Alex. However, when her happiness soared with such beautiful expectations of his response, she received divorce papers instead. As if thrown from the clouds, Carissa was instantly devastated when she saw her husband kissing another woman in front of her, and she was his ex-girlfriend. These three facts added to the hurt in her heart and made her drown in a pool of complex emotions. She was angry, but the pain in her heart suppressed her until she could do nothing but agree to the divorce papers. The next day, she got a new slap for the fact that they had been hiding. At that moment, she decided to leave and forget everything. However, five years later, before the wounds fully heal, her ex-husband comes after her blindly, competing with Geffrey, her boss, who has his heart set on her.

Chapter 1 Divorce Letter

"Mrs. Ricardo, congratulations. You are ten weeks pregnant. The condition of the fetus is very healthy and good."

Carissa could not help but smile as she recalled the obstetrician's words three days ago. Her gaze fell on a small photograph on her nightstand, and she reached out to gaze at it fondly while rubbing it.

The little angel she had been waiting to see for two years was growing inside her womb. Carissa's hand consciously moved to her stomach, touching it gently as if she could touch her child directly.

She couldn't imagine how Alex would react to this news. Would he immediately laugh and hug her? Or would he be silent with his silly face in disbelief?

Carissa unconsciously chuckled softly at the thought of that happening. This would be the most special gift on their 2nd wedding anniversary. In fact, she really did not expect that this good thing would come at a time like this. Even when checking on it, she did it secretly because she didn't want Alex to be disappointed for the umpteenth time. However, fate seemed to be happy with their anniversary.

Then, she put the photo into the box she had prepared, joined together with the test pack, and tied it with a red ribbon, her husband's favorite color.

Right then, a notification sounded for an incoming message, making her immediately grab her cell phone beside her and open it. It was from Alex.

My world.

Crown restaurant, VIP room number 2, 7 pm.

I can't pick you up, so we'll meet there. See you and be careful on the road.

Carissa's smile spread beautifully with a blush on her face. Fingers moved nimbly to reply to the message from Alex.

Alex always managed to make her heart pound. He never forgot this important day even though they rarely engaged in romantic talks.

Quickly, Carissa headed to the bathroom to get ready. It was still 5 pm, but she wanted to prepare everything well. She wanted to look stunning in front of her husband.

Carissa looked at her reflection in the full-body mirror for the last time. She twisted her slender body, revealing her perfect curves wrapped in a black dress, making her white skin shine even more. Then she adjusted her long brown hair, lightly patted with small pearls, ensuring everything was right. Moreover, her soft makeup was applied with care.

She suddenly felt nervous and couldn't help the wave of excitement that washed over her.

The journey to the restaurant took 20 minutes. When she set foot in the building, a waitress greeted her and led her to the room.

Upon entering the room, the atmosphere is warm and romantic. At the bottom, flowers surrounded the room, accompanied by dazzling gold-colored tumblr lights. Carissa was amazed. And when she looked away, Alex was sitting at a round table in the center of the room. Small candles surrounded the place, as well as cascading candles on the table that moved gently.

The sight, coupled with the figure of a handsome man in his black suit, further added to the beauty created. His sharp eyes looked straight at her, making her heart pound even more. For the umpteenth time, she felt mesmerized by Alex's good looks. He was indeed the perfect man.

Carissa started walking towards him with a big smile. Alex stood up and pulled out her chair, but she felt something was different. On his handsome face, there was not the slightest hint of a smile.

"Alex," Carissa called out unconsciously.

"Yes?" Alex raised his gaze and looked at Carissa, still with his flat face.

"Is there a problem?" Carissa asked directly.

Hearing that, Alex averted his eyes. "Nothing. We'd better get on with the food."

Carissa pursed her lips when she heard Alex's cold voice. She felt there was something he was hiding. But was it about her? Had she made a mistake that she was unaware of? However, if she did make a mistake, wouldn't Alex have invited her here?

Ah, it was probably just her feelings. Alex was acting like this because he wanted to surprise her.

Carissa's smile instantly grew again at the thought of this. Her gaze also sparkled with admiration as she looked at the man in front of her. "Happy second anniversary, my dear," she said excitedly.

A few seconds passed, and Carissa was still waiting for a response from her husband. Unfortunately, Alex turned his gaze in all directions restlessly, making her smile slowly fade. Then Alex took a deep breath and looked at Carissa strangely.

Instantly, Carissa's premonition became bad. "What's wrong?"

"Carissa." Alex finally made a sound.

Carissa just stared at him and waited for the rest.

However, instead of continuing his words, Alex took something from inside his jacket and placed it on the table, then pushed it towards Carissa, who was still silently staring at his every move.

"What is this?" Carissa asked quietly.

"Open it!" Alex commanded indisputably, making Carissa unconsciously swallow nervously.

Even so, hesitantly, she still reached for the envelope and opened it slowly. However, her movement about to take out the paper inside suddenly stopped when she read the title. She was shocked and looked at Alex with an uncomprehending gaze. "What is this?"

At that moment, there was a sudden sound of the door opening, followed by the loud tapping of heels. Carissa spontaneously turned around and found a sexy girl in a tight dress walking gracefully towards them.

"Carissa, we have been married for two years, and I have always treated you well. But, unfortunately, there is no love growing in my heart. No matter how hard I try, it never happens. Instead of feeling thrilling happiness, I feel depressed. I didn't want to feel any deeper hurt. So, I made the best decision for both of us," Alex said suddenly.

Afterward, the man stepped up to greet the girl who had just arrived and embraced her slender waist intimately. Carissa was even more shocked to see it. She stared in disbelief at the two people in front of her.

"You must still remember her, right? She is Jillian, my college sweetheart. Now I'm back with her, the girl I love the most. Whether it was then, now, or in the future," Alex continued as he looked at Jillian and kissed her lips lovingly.

I was finally brought back to the billionaire Vance estate after years in the grimy foster system, but the luxury Lincoln felt more like a funeral procession. My biological family didn't welcome me with open arms; they looked at me like a stain on a silk shirt. They thought I was a "defective" mute with cognitive delays, a spare part to be traded away. Within hours of my arrival, my father decided to sell me to Julian Thorne, a bitter, paralyzed heir, just to secure a corporate merger. My sister Tiffany treated me like trash, whispering for me to "go back to the gutter" before pouring red wine over my dress in front of Manhattan's elite. When a drunk cousin tried to lay hands on me at the engagement gala, my grandmother didn't protect me-she raised her silver-topped cane to strike my face for "embarrassing the family." They called me a sacrificial lamb, laughing as they signed the prenuptial agreement that stripped me of my freedom. They had no idea I was E-11, the underground hacker-artist the world was obsessed with, or that I had already breached their private servers. I found the hidden medical records-blood types A, A, and B-a biological impossibility that proved my "parents" were harboring a scandal that could ruin them. Why bring me back just to discard me again? And why was Julian Thorne, the man supposedly bound to a wheelchair, secretly running miles at dawn on his private estate? Standing in the middle of the ballroom, I didn't plead for mercy. I used a text-to-speech app to broadcast a cold, synthetic threat: "I have the records, Richard. Do you want me to explain genetics to the press, or should we leave quietly?" With the "paralyzed" billionaire as my unexpected accomplice, I walked out of the Vance house and into a much more dangerous game.

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
