"I am willing to go to Otresh and join Doctors Without Borders." Kenia Watson's voice was firm. The Chief Medical Officer hesitated for a moment before speaking. "The aid mission to Otresh will last at least two years. Does your husband agree with you going?" She rotated the ring on her right hand, took a moment of silence, and then answered, "We're about to divorce. I hope you won't tell him where I'm going after I leave." She had tolerated so much, continuously searching for the truth from years ago. When she was diagnosed with cancer, her husband was having an affair with her stepsister. This time, she chose to let go and leave, refusing to be entangled with him any longer. "Hobson, in a month, we will be free." Yet, when she was critically ill, he knelt by her hospital bed, praying repeatedly for her to wake up.

Chapter 1

"I am willing to go to Otresh and join Doctors Without Borders." Kenia Watson's voice was firm.

The Chief Medical Officer hesitated for a moment before speaking. "The aid mission to Otresh will last at least two years. Does your husband agree with you going?"

She rotated the ring on her right hand, took a moment of silence, and then answered, "We're about to divorce. I hope you won't tell him where I'm going after I leave."

She had tolerated so much, continuously searching for the truth from years ago.

When she was diagnosed with cancer, her husband was having an affair with her stepsister.

This time, she chose to let go and leave, refusing to be entangled with him any longer.

"Hobson Watson, in a month, we will be free."

Yet, when she was critically ill, he knelt by her hospital bed, praying repeatedly for her to wake up.

......

"Dr. Watson, have you made up your mind? Otresh is engulfed in war, and you may not return."

Kenia picked up the pen from the table and resolutely signed her name. "I am willing to go to Otresh and join Doctors Without Borders."

The older Chief Medical Officer approached her and held her hand. "Like your father, you have a noble heart as a doctor. But does your husband agree with you going?"

Kenia's face softened with a gentle smile. "We're about to divorce. His opinion no longer matters."

After returning home from the hospital, what greeted her was the sight of her stepsister sitting on her husband's lap, the two intimately entwined.

She let out a cold laugh and, as she passed them, threw out a remark. "Hobson, you really have no standards if you find someone like her appealing."

Hobson's hand stroked the woman's slender waist, his deep eyes fixed on Kenia.

"Is that so? She is much better in bed than you."

With those words, they shamelessly kissed in front of her.

She cast a cold glance at them and went upstairs to her room.

Hobson watched her retreating figure, clenching his fists, but still managed a smile at the woman before him.

"Hobson, do you think she'll be angry?"

Hobson frowned slightly, caressing her right cheek.

"She loves me too much to be angry."

Once in her room, Kenia retrieved a report from the drawer, her brow furrowed.

The report felt like a dagger to her heart.

Late-stage stomach cancer.

She recalled the day of the diagnosis, pacing the hospital corridor with a restless heart, which compelled her to dial Hobson's number.

At that moment, she only wanted to hear his voice, even if he had nothing kind to say.

But the call was answered by her stepsister's voice. "Hobson is in the shower. Do you need something?"

Her hand trembled as she abruptly hung up the phone.

Hobson resented her, all because of a rumor.

When they first married, Hobson was deeply in love with her.

But in the second year of their marriage, after hearing rumors that her father's medical mistake had caused the death of his first love, he never showed her a kind face again.

Hobson publicly exposed the incident, leading to her father succumbing to the pressure and taking his own life.

He then began frequenting nightclubs and bars, bringing home one woman after another, being intimate with them in front of her.

At first, Kenia couldn't believe he no longer loved her. She repeatedly accused him, but he coldly replied, "I will never love the daughter of a murderer again."

Now, being with her stepsister was just another way to get back at her.

Hobson knew what she cared about most and how to make her heart ache.

Kenia's eyes dimmed, clutching the report tightly before tearing it into pieces and throwing them into the trash.

"Hobson, we will soon be free."

The Stolen Sapphire: His Fake Girlfriend

I returned to New York after three years in Paris, sick and broken, with nothing but a venomous vow to reclaim my life. I looked like a total disaster in my scuffed boots and ripped jeans, a far cry from the Stanton heiress I once was. On the flight home, a glossy magazine headline hit me like a physical blow: my half-sister Aryana was celebrating a fairytale engagement while wearing my dead mother's sapphire pendant. The necklace was my only legacy, stolen by the interlopers who had usurped my place the moment I vanished. Things spiraled into a nightmare before I even landed. I accidentally spilled milk all over a powerful billionaire, Denis Stephens, and then fainted directly into his arms during turbulence. At the hospital, my ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend mocked my illness, snapping photos of me looking like a "pregnant" mess to ruin my reputation. When I finally fought my way to the family manor to snatch the necklace back, my father tried to hit me, and my ex accused me of becoming a whore in Europe. I couldn't understand how my own father could freeze my bank accounts and treat me like a criminal while my sister played house with my mother's jewels. I was back in the orbit of the Manhattan elite, but I was a pariah with a target on my back and a body that was failing me. Then, the final blow came. I rear-ended a Bentley belonging to Denis Stephens-the same man I'd humiliated on the plane. With six figures in damages and zero dollars in my pocket, I was completely at his mercy. "You're going to be my date tonight," He commanded, pulling me into a high-stakes game of fake romance and cold revenge that I wasn't sure I'd survive.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."
