My life, as a firefighter paramedic, seemed straightforward. I was engaged to Chloe, my high school sweetheart, and planned a future with her. But a secret, solemn commitment changed everything: to fulfill my dying adoptive mother Sarah's final wish, I quietly married Army Captain Maya Rodriguez. However, my return home to our shared house in Havenwood plunged me into a nightmare. Chloe, without consultation, announced her manipulative "rescuer," Ricky Vargas, and his young son Leo, were moving in indefinitely. This unwelcome intrusion quickly escalated into hostile takeover. Chloe dismissed my every concern, turning my personal office into Ricky's son's room, only for that child to deface my most sacred heirloom-my late father's firefighter helmet. When I confronted the boy, Ricky, the master manipulator, orchestrated a scene where his son feigned injury, leading Chloe to immediately side with him, accusing me of violence. She then unleashed a torrent of venom, calling me "just an orphan" and ordering me to leave, a cruel tirade unknowingly recorded and later shared by Ricky to twist the knife deeper. The ultimate betrayal came when Chloe, exploiting my profession, had me detained at the hospital and actively blocked my calls, callously preventing me from saying goodbye to my dying mother. Sarah passed away alone, a direct consequence of Chloe's spiteful actions. How could the woman I was supposed to marry, my childhood love, inflict such profound pain and injustice, stripping me of my dignity and my last moments with my mother?

Introduction

My life, as a firefighter paramedic, seemed straightforward.

I was engaged to Chloe, my high school sweetheart, and planned a future with her.

But a secret, solemn commitment changed everything: to fulfill my dying adoptive mother Sarah's final wish, I quietly married Army Captain Maya Rodriguez.

However, my return home to our shared house in Havenwood plunged me into a nightmare.

Chloe, without consultation, announced her manipulative "rescuer," Ricky Vargas, and his young son Leo, were moving in indefinitely.

This unwelcome intrusion quickly escalated into hostile takeover.

Chloe dismissed my every concern, turning my personal office into Ricky's son's room, only for that child to deface my most sacred heirloom-my late father's firefighter helmet.

When I confronted the boy, Ricky, the master manipulator, orchestrated a scene where his son feigned injury, leading Chloe to immediately side with him, accusing me of violence.

She then unleashed a torrent of venom, calling me "just an orphan" and ordering me to leave, a cruel tirade unknowingly recorded and later shared by Ricky to twist the knife deeper.

The ultimate betrayal came when Chloe, exploiting my profession, had me detained at the hospital and actively blocked my calls, callously preventing me from saying goodbye to my dying mother.

Sarah passed away alone, a direct consequence of Chloe's spiteful actions.

How could the woman I was supposed to marry, my childhood love, inflict such profound pain and injustice, stripping me of my dignity and my last moments with my mother?

Reeling from grief, despair, and an overwhelming sense of betrayal, I chose to sever all ties, escaping the suffocating toxicity of my past.

I walked away from Havenwood, from Chloe, and got on a plane, ready to face an unknown future with my new wife, Maya.

I woke up in total darkness, the air smelling of stale chemicals and dying flowers. When I tried to sit up, my forehead slammed into solid wood just three inches from my face. I was trapped in a coffin, buried alive next to the cold, stiff body of my fake husband, Cedric. My stepmother, Hermina, had poisoned our champagne at the gala to seize my trust fund, and now she was hosting a lavish memorial service for us right outside the lid. I found a faint, erratic pulse in Cedric's neck, but I couldn't just scream for help. If Hermina realized the dose wasn't lethal, she'd finish the job with a lethal injection under the guise of medical assistance. To survive, I bit my tongue until I tasted blood and tore my hair into a tangled mess. When I finally kicked the lid open and spilled onto the marble floor, I didn't act like a rescued heiress; I crawled like a broken doll, shrieking about poisoned bubbles and "the bad man" while Manhattan's elite watched in absolute horror. The betrayal was suffocating. My own family watched as Hermina tried to sedate me back into silence, playing the role of a grieving saint while her eyes remained cold as ice. Even more shocking was Cedric, who rose from the casket like a predator, commanding the room with a terrifying authority that proved our entire marriage had been a lie. I couldn't understand how many secrets were buried in that house, or why my "boring" husband was suddenly acting like a man who owned the city. After kneeing Cedric in the stomach to break his iron grip, I bolted out into the torrential rain. I didn't care that I was barefoot or that the world thought I was insane. I had the key to my father's secret safe in my hand, and I was going to make sure Hermina paid for every second of darkness she forced me to endure.

Modern

I haven't spoken a word in three years. As a professional art restorer, I spent my days fixing seventeenth-century Dutch oils and playing the role of the perfect, silent wife to billionaire Arno Rutledge. I thought our marriage was a cold but stable arrangement, a gilded cage I had accepted to keep my father’s medical bills paid. That illusion shattered when I found a VIP hospital pass in Arno's suit pocket. Following the trail, I discovered my husband was keeping a woman named Serena on life support in a restricted wing. He wasn't just paying for her care; he was micromanaging her vitals from a tablet like a volatile stock portfolio, obsessed with controlling her every breath while lying to me about late-night board meetings. When I confronted him at the hospital, the mask of the refined businessman slipped. He didn't offer an apology; he offered a violent shove. I crashed into a glass display case, the shards slicing deep into my dominant hand—the hand I used to restore history. As blood pulsed onto the white tiles, Arno didn't even look back. He was too busy cradling the other woman’s hand, leaving me to stitch my own mangled flesh together with industrial glue in a public restroom. Back at the penthouse, the nightmare only escalated. When I tried to pack my bags, Arno froze my bank accounts and reminded me that he controlled the ventilator keeping my father alive. He dragged me into my studio, snapped my custom sable brushes in front of my face, and forced himself on me atop my own workbench. "You’re an asset, Edlyn," he whispered against my skin. "And right now, you’re underperforming." He told me that since my hands were now "broken equipment," I had to find other ways to compensate for my lack of value. He thought he had successfully liquidated my soul, leaving me a hollow shell trapped in his high-rise fortress. But Arno made one fatal mistake. He thinks because I am mute, I am also blind. He thinks because he broke my hand, I have lost my touch. He doesn't realize that a restorer’s greatest skill isn't her hands—it's her ability to see the hidden rot beneath the surface. He wants to treat me like a line item on a balance sheet? Fine. I’m about to show him exactly what happens when an asset decides to set the entire portfolio on fire.

Three years ago, I became the lost heiress to the Sterling fortune. David Sterling, the family' s handsome son, saved me from a dark clinic, spending millions on my recovery. We married, had a son, and our life felt perfect. At our son Anna's first birthday party, David pulled a scalpel from his pocket and, in front of all our guests, cut open our baby's chest. He then ripped out Anna's tiny, beating heart to save Sarah Miller' s daughter. He kicked me hard in the stomach, growling about how I had "manipulated his parents" and that my son "blamed me for being wicked." I lay in a pool of my own blood and despair, forced to watch him walk away with my son's heart. My whole life with David had been a cruel, elaborate plan for revenge. Days later, I was confined to a hospital bed in David' s mansion, not for care, but for harvesting my blood for Sarah. I was subjected to constant humiliation, forced to view videos of my son's murder, my C-section wound tearing open from the pain. David and Sarah paraded their love, while I lay in agony, ridiculed for my weakness. My heart was gone, ripped out just like my son's, leaving a hollowness so vast it swallowed me whole. How could the man I loved, the father of my child, commit such an unspeakable act of depravity? Why was I, an innocent victim, suffering this unimaginable torture? In my deepest despair, I remembered the small, hidden button on the bracelet David had given me. A desperate signal shot out into the world, a cry for help. I just had to survive for three more days.
