Cecily Warren had accepted an unusual private commission. The client had a special request: a portrait capturing only the back of her lover.

Come and have a look. This is a gift from one of my students," he said. Cecily was stunned. She remembered what her client said to her clearly.

Chapter 1

Cecily Warren had accepted an unusual private commission.

The client had a special request: a portrait capturing only the back of her lover.

Three days later, the painting she had sent out appeared in her living room.

Chris Lambert, her fiancé, stood in front of the painting and was mesmerized by it. "Cecily, you're awake? Come and have a look. This is a gift from one of my students," he said.

Cecily was stunned.

She remembered what her client said to her clearly. "He and I have been in love for two years, but we can't go public because of his special identity. It is his birthday next Wednesday, and I want to surprise him."

At the time, Cecily had thought it was a coincidence that her fan's boyfriend's birthday was the same day as Chris's.

Now her heart was pounding heavily, and she told herself repeatedly that there must be some mistake.

...

Cecily tried to compose herself and asked with a smile, Who is so thoughtful?"

Chris turned his gaze to the painting again and said proudly, "A new graduate student named Emily Nash. She's quite talented and considerate."

Cecily's heart sank instantly.

It was indeed Emily Nash.

Her client's ID was Emily.

Could it be such a coincidence?

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Chris hurried to open the door.

A young woman with an innocent and fresh face stood outside. She was holding a man's coat. "Hello, Professor Lambert. I've cleaned your coat and brought it back for you," she said.

Chris quickly took the coat and said with concern, "Emily, thank you for that. How's the progress in the lab lately?"

Cecily rushed over to snatch the coat upon hearing Emily's name. "Isn't it a bit much to have your student doing your laundry?" she teased.

Chris awkwardly touched his nose, while Emily sweetly chimed in, "Professor Lambert lent it to me specially, as he was worried I might catch a cold. Don't worry. I cleaned it thoroughly."

Chris patted her head with a smile and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's clean or not, but I'll worry if you caught a cold."

It had rained a few days ago. It turned out that Chris was late not because the traffic was bad or he was too busy to remember his coat.

He had taken care of Emily with his coat.

Cecily was familiar with the scene.

Back in college, it was unexpectedly cold during the evening study session.

Chris had skipped an important seminar just to bring Cecily a coat.

Although his nose turned red from the cold, he hugged her and said, "I don't mind freezing, but it would break my heart if you catch a cold."

Cecily lowered her eyes and felt something stuck in her chest.

She pretended to say jokingly, "Your coat smelled like an ashtray. If Emily dislikes it, she might not tell you directly."

Chris frowned upon hearing Cecily's words. "Emily, do you dislike my coat?"

Emily shook her head quickly. "How could I? I cherish everything you give me. So, make sure to keep my things safe as well."

Chris smiled, and his eyes were filled with affection.

But the one he looked at was no longer Cecily.

Cecily kept a smile on her face, but her gaze turned icy.

She couldn't believe that Chris could betray her, although he had loved her so much.

They had been engaged since they were kids, and their relationship had lasted twenty years.

They would get married the next month.

Years ago, she had resolutely given up an offer from a top overseas art academy and chosen her career in the live-streaming industry with her best friend, although it was less promising in most people's eyes.

Her entire family opposed the decision.

They thought such a career in live streams was beneath her, who was a distinguished graduate from a prestigious art academy.

Only Chris sided with her firmly.

He never expressed any disapproval of her decision. Instead, he meticulously researched all the streaming equipment for her.

He personally designed the layout of the streaming studio and secretly purchased a villa overlooking the sea.

He set up the most professional streaming studio for her.

He had adjusted each light for her.

He helped her lay out each of the settings according to her taste.

He even stayed up late to choose the best sound cards and cameras merely because she had casually mentioned that she wanted a creative space with a sea view.

His devotion to her was well-known in their circle.

Everyone said Chris loved Cecily deeply and would never see any other woman in his eyes.

When he heard such comments, he would hold her in his arms tenderly. "Cecily, from the moment I first saw you, I decided you'd be the one I'd love forever."

Cecily shook off the negative thoughts in her mind and said softly, "Emily, we won't keep you for dinner today. It's Chris's birthday, and we are going to celebrate it."

Unexpectedly, Chris chimed in, "It's just a birthday. Emily, come along with us. The more, the merrier."

Cecily frowned slightly.

Chris was oblivious to her displeasure and made the decision by himself.

Cecily watched as Chris naturally opened the passenger door for Emily.

Cecily was heartbroken.

Chris had always been very clear about boundaries in social activities.

When a new female teacher in their department wanted to sit in the passenger seat, he had coldly refused her.

He said, "I'm sorry, this seat is reserved for my fiancée. She doesn't like others sitting there."

Whenever a female student showed any interest in him, he would promptly reject her, leaving no chance for any misunderstanding.

The photo of him and her was always pinned to the top of his social media.

On Teacher's Day, a student sent a bouquet of white roses to their home.

Cecily didn't take it seriously, but Chris immediately arranged for that student to be transferred to another advisor and refused to mentor her any longer.

He had always been aloof to others and never leaned toward anyone other than Cecily.

As soon as she frowned slightly, he would drive away any women around him.

But everything was different this time.

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.

Too Late: The Spare Daughter Escapes Him

I died on a Tuesday. It wasn't a quick death. It was slow, cold, and meticulously planned by the man who called himself my father. I was twenty years old. He needed my kidney to save my sister. The spare part for the golden child. I remember the blinding lights of the operating theater, the sterile smell of betrayal, and the phantom pain of a surgeon's scalpel carving into my flesh while my screams echoed unheard. I remember looking through the observation glass and seeing him-my father, Giovanni Vitiello, the Don of the Chicago Outfit-watching me die with the same detached expression he used when signing a death warrant. He chose her. He always chose her. And then, I woke up. Not in heaven. Not in hell. But in my own bed, a year before my scheduled execution. My body was whole, unscarred. The timeline had reset, a glitch in the cruel matrix of my existence, giving me a second chance I never asked for. This time, when my father handed me a one-way ticket to London-an exile disguised as a severance package-I didn't cry. I didn't beg. My heart, once a bleeding wound, was now a block of ice. He didn't know he was talking to a ghost. He didn't know I had already lived through his ultimate betrayal. He also didn't know that six months ago, during the city's brutal territory wars, I was the one who saved his most valuable asset. In a secret safe house, I stitched up the wounds of a blinded soldier, a man whose life hung by a thread. He never saw my face. He only knew my voice, the scent of vanilla, and the steady touch of my hands. He called me Sette. Seven. For the seven stitches I put in his shoulder. That man was Dante Moretti. The Ruthless Capo. The man my sister, Isabella, is now set to marry. She stole my story. She claimed my actions, my voice, my scent. And Dante, the man who could spot a lie from a mile away, believed the beautiful deception because he wanted it to be true. He wanted the golden girl to be his savior, not the invisible sister who was only ever good for her spare parts. So I took the ticket. In my past life, I fought them, and they silenced me on an operating table. This time, I will let them have their perfect, gilded lie. I will go to London. I will disappear. I will let Seraphina Vitiello die on that plane. But I will not be a victim. This time, I will not be the lamb led to slaughter. This time, from the shadows of my exile, I will be the one holding the match. And I will wait, with the patience of the dead, to watch their entire world burn. Because a ghost has nothing to lose, and a queen of ashes has an empire to gain.
