In my previous life, I was married to Liam Hoods for good three years, yet all I could get in return were a great loathing from him, a betrayal of my love, and ingratitude towards all I had done for him. To end it all, he further connived with Sage Thatcher to ultimately end my life in a hospital. However, I was reborn by the will of the universe to right my wrongs and seek vengeance. Yet it appears that vengeance doesn't happen on a platter, but then, I would go to any lengths to render their lives completely worthless!

Chapter 1 1

Brookside Medical Center.

Aurora's POV.

Twelve months into my marriage with Liam, strange occurrences began to take place. Nonetheless, something remarkable occurred that day as I was pulled into one of the lesser-known hospitals in the area.

"Why do you keep pressuring me to sign this?What's the reason behind all your efforts for Sage?" I turned to the man next to me. The man I valued, adored, and respected all these years- Liam, my spouse.

Nonetheless, I experienced a strong hit on my face when I asked that question. I grasped my puffed face, astonishment and disbelief flooding me.

Liam hit me! And he didn't appear to feel any regret.

"You fool!" Could you please sign this document now? Your sister is on the stretcher, yet you're not determined to assist her? What if she passes away?" Liam shouted in fury.

He carried the fierce intensity of a wounded creature, his eyes burning with a scheme to attack- the type that only stirred for issues concerning Sage.

I always recognized that he had strong feelings for her and that I was merely a substitute. However, I never imagined he would contemplate taking my life for her.

"Are you unaware that she is requesting my liver?" Not only that, but over fifty percent of the liver lobe?" I replied with a tranquil demeanor.

If I weren't so far along in my pregnancy, maybe donating my liver wouldn't be a huge issue, regardless of Sage's plans.

"And therefore?" Liam sizzled. "Your entire life doesn't measure up to even half of her accomplishments. Sage is the most accomplished woman, collaborating with various clothing brands both inside and outside the Imperial City. Her beauty-an attribute you evidently do not possess, is unmatched by anyone else. He evaluated.

"Since you offer no value, why should donating your liver lobe be a nuisance?"

Irrepressible tears flowed down my frail cheeks. Liam's harsh remarks hit me hard, realizing the sacrifices I had made for him.

Liam Hoods, formerly a miserable man ridiculed by many, whose breath smelled of destitution, had ascended to one of the richest entrepreneurs in the city- entirely due to my assistance.

Who would have thought that a renowned past fashion icon could destroy her life for a man unworthy of her affection? It was deserving of laughter. I became exceedingly self-sacrificing, lowered myself too much to fulfill his wishes.

Moreover, I disregarded the continuous warnings from others, threats from my family, and rejections due to him. When we finally wed, he turned into my nightmare, and it became routine for him to have my stepsister as his mistress.

And if I wished for Sage to survive, I had to donate a part of my liver!

"What are you still thinking? Sign it! Sage's life is in danger here! If anything were to happen to her-" Liam's menacing threats jolted me back from my nostalgia. I averted my gaze, loathing him with all of my being. He was a monster!

"No, I am not going to sign." I held my position.

His tough, calloused hands seized my wrist, pressing the pen into my fingers. I was helpless in the face of his strength. Thus, in just a matter of seconds, my name was printed on the paper- 'Aurora Thatcher.'

Liam breathed out deeply in relief and handed the document to the man beside him. "Hurry! Have a liver surgeon start immediately!"

I was quickly taken into the operating room.

After the surgery, I started to feel lightheaded, and my health deteriorated, resulting in complicated problems.

I felt the urge to scream, yet my voice emerged only as a faint whisper. I experienced a sense of numbness, both emotionally and physically. The room was now vacant and the door to the surgical suite securely closed.

At that moment, the door swung wide, exposing Sage adorned in a stunning showcase of riches - while Liam, my spouse, stood beside her, his eyes shining with sinister delight.

Sage, my stepsister, who ought to have been lying unconscious and close to death on a stretcher, now stood upright, glaring at me in ridicule.

Her eyes glimmered with mischief as she neared the bed, cackling wildly and rendering me completely voiceless!

The realisation that I had been misled, even regarding my health, affected me profoundly. I touched my bulging belly but sensed no sensation. It was now void.

"Don't fret, Aurora. The baby is no longer present, along with your liver! You have no clue how much time I spent planning for this to occur. Ha ha!" She leaned her head and erupted in lively laughter.

I couldn't contain it any longer, yet lacked the strength to get up. My body didn't have the strength to move, so I simply let the tears stream down my cheeks.

"You guessed correctly-Liam and I have been together, and we are going to the marriage registry in three days." She displayed the middle finger of her left hand in my direction, intentionally highlighting a shiny silver ring that adorned it.

A brief moment went by before she lifted her gaze again and replied with a soft nod, "The sedative is clearly working on you."

The next sound I registered was the loud bang of the door, and then my vision faded.

When I finally regained consciousness, I was greeted by a piercing, sharp voice sliced through the fog, yelling my name aggressively.

"Aurora!"

The entire area fell into silence upon hearing that deep, steady, and authoritative male voice. My heart constricted with dread, questioning whether I was about to encounter Liam once more. Although the voice did not resemble his.

As the man tightened his hold on my neck, almost suffocating me, my eyes fluttered open to the bright light that illuminated the whole room. And above was a man who gazed down at me with a frigid and frosty demeanor.

This man's dashing look - one of the finest in the whole Imperial city - stirred a strong feeling within me. How did I end up in his embrace? Did I come back to life?

"Williams Alfonso." I murmured in disbelief.

Hearing his name brought an impish grin to his lips, while his fingers pressed more firmly into my skin, stealing the feeling of security I had anticipated.

"Were you attempting to end your life?"

Williams's deep and captivating voice, which had enchanted numerous women inside and outside the Imperial City, only intensified the fear that coursed through me.

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 on the cold tile floor of our Upper East Side penthouse, staring at the two pink lines until my vision blurred. After ten years of loving Julian Sterling and three years of a hollow marriage, I finally had the one thing that could bridge the distance between us. I was pregnant. But Julian didn't come home with flowers for our anniversary. He tossed a thick manila envelope onto the marble coffee table with a heavy thud. Fiona, the woman he'd truly loved for years, was back in New York, and he told me our "business deal" was officially over. "Sign it," He said, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. He looked at me with the cold detachment of a man selling a piece of unwanted furniture. When I hesitated, he told me to add a zero to the alimony if the money wasn't enough. I realized in that moment that if he knew about the baby, he wouldn't love me; he would simply take my child and give it to Fiona to raise. I shoved the pregnancy test into my pocket, signed the papers with a shaking hand, and lied through my teeth. When my morning sickness hit, I slumped to the floor to hide the truth. "It's just cramps," I gasped, watching him recoil as if I were contagious. To make him stay away, I invented a man named Jack-a fake boyfriend who supposedly gave me the kindness Julian never could. Suddenly, the man who wanted me gone became a monster of possessiveness. He threatened to "bury" a man who didn't exist while leaving me humiliated at his family's dinner to rush to Fiona's side. I was so broken that I even ate a cake I was deathly allergic to, then had to refuse life-saving steroids at the hospital because they would harm the fetus. Julian thinks he's stalling the divorce for two months to protect the family's reputation for his father's Jubilee. He thinks he's keeping his "property" on a short leash until the press dies down. He has no idea I'm using those sixty days to build a fortress for my child. By the time he realizes the truth, I'll be gone, and the Sterling heir will be far beyond his reach.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.
