Chapter 1

在醫院的加護病房裡。

一位虛弱的中年男子安靜地躺在病床上,旁邊的監視器發出微弱的嗶嗶聲,提醒著他的生命仍然懸於一線。

「上帝,如果你真的能聽到我的祈禱,請讓我的父親活過來。他現在是我唯一的希望。」Olivia低聲祈禱,蒼白的臉貼在玻璃上,凝視著她的父親Ryder Smith。

突然,她聽到熟悉的腳步聲靠近。轉過身,她看到William Brown手拿檢查報告,臉上帶著深深的憂慮,向她走來。

Olivia有一種不祥的預感。她急忙走向William,焦急地問道:「發生什麼事了?我父親的病情惡化了嗎?」

William搖了搖頭,表情嚴肅地看著她。「Olivia,你父親的病情暫時穩定。但你真的需要開始擔心自己的健康。」

Olivia從他手中接過檢查報告,瞥了一眼。突然,眼前一黑,她感覺自己快要崩潰。幸好,William及時接住了她。

報告揭示了殘酷的事實:Olivia患上了胃癌,癌細胞已經開始擴散。

「我沒事。」她堅持道,阻止了正要扶她的William。她緊握椅子的邊緣,慢慢從地上站起來,心中的不公平感油然而生。

William注視著Olivia蒼白的臉,心中充滿憂慮。「你真的需要馬上住院。我會盡全力幫助你,說實話,你的生存機會還是很大的。」

他隱瞞了一些更嚴峻的現實,希望能給Olivia一絲希望。在他看來,10%的機會和15%的機會並沒有太大區別。

但令他驚訝的是,Olivia搖了搖頭,堅決拒絕了他的治療計劃。「謝謝你的關心,William,但我不打算接受任何治療。」

她從椅子上站起來,準備離開。

「即使你不在乎自己,也要為你的父親著想。你真的希望等他醒來時,由我來告訴他這個壞消息嗎?」William的聲音帶著一絲責備,希望能說服Olivia重新考慮治療。

Olivia沒想到William會這麼說。她抬頭看著William,眼中充滿懇求。

「請不要告訴我的家人我的病情。你知道我父親的情況。我不想讓他們再為我擔心。」

面對Olivia的請求,William沉默了一會兒,只能點頭。

「我知道這對你來說很難接受,但我想給你一些時間來考慮。在此期間,我會先為你安排治療計劃。」

William的語氣非常真誠和嚴肅。

William和Olivia畢業於同一所大學,都學習醫學。William是Olivia的學長,他們曾在同一位教授手下工作,所以彼此有些認識。

Olivia知道William是真心關心她,而且他在某些方面很固執,所以她沒有拒絕他的好意。

「謝謝你,William。我現在要回家了。」

Olivia向William表示感謝,然後轉身離開醫院。

William看著Olivia憔悴的身影,心中感到深深的悲傷。

Olivia曾經是大學裡最耀眼的存在,在醫學上甚至比他這個天才還要出色。

但不知什麼原因,她不得不提前離開學校。

走出醫院,Olivia茫然地看著周圍的道路,不知道該去哪裡。她拿出手機,猶豫了一會兒,最終撥通了她丈夫的電話。

Daniel Wilson 和 Ava Davis 正在醫院為他們的孩子做健康檢查。

「Wilson先生,您的孩子非常健康。」

醫生將診斷單交給 Daniel。Daniel 看了一眼診斷單,露出了笑容。看著兩個熟睡中的嬰兒,他忍不住伸手輕輕撥弄他們的鼻子。嬰兒們在睡夢中感到癢癢的,不滿地哼哼著,扭動著身體。Daniel 的笑容更深了。

突然,Daniel 口袋裡的手機響了。他拿出手機,瞥了一眼來電顯示,笑容瞬間消失。

「我去外面接個電話。」

Daniel 低聲對 Ava 說,然後轉身走進了醫院的走廊。

Daniel 沒有注意到 Ava 看著他背影時眼中的嫉妒和憤怒。她已經猜到是誰打電話給 Daniel 了。

『我是 Daniel 最愛的人,為什麼他卻娶了 Olivia?那個賤女人什麼時候才會死?』Ava 在心裡惡毒地詛咒著 Olivia。

在走廊裡,Daniel 接起了電話。還沒等 Olivia 開口,他就說:「你應該知道我現在在做什麼。你毀了我唯一的好心情。」

Olivia 沉默了很久,才終於開口:「我不在乎你在做什麼。你不是一直想要離婚嗎?我已經簽了離婚協議。」

Daniel 愣住了。他一直在不斷逼迫 Olivia 離婚,好讓他可以娶 Ava,但 Olivia 一直拒絕。現在她突然同意了,Daniel 有點驚訝。更重要的是,他並沒有感到想像中的高興。

握著電話,Olivia 的心也在顫抖,回想起那些難以忍受的記憶。

幾年前,Olivia 和 Ava 一起發生了意外。不幸的是,兩個女人當時都懷孕了。真正讓 Olivia 感到背叛的是,她的丈夫 Daniel 沒有選擇先救她,而是選擇了救 Ava。

兩個女人都被送到了醫院,並且都早產了。

命運的不公在那一刻降臨。

Olivia 的孩子死了,而 Ava 生下了一對雙胞胎。

「沒有人知道我做出這個決定需要多大的勇氣。」Olivia 在電話中笑了,語氣中充滿了諷刺。

「你現在在哪裡?」Daniel 問道,感覺到 Olivia 的話中有些異樣。

「我在家。如果你不相信,可以來看看。」Olivia 的語氣聽起來有些懶散,這讓 Daniel 感到一陣怒火,因為他覺得自己沒有受到尊重。

「好,等我,我馬上到。」

Daniel 眯起眼睛,憤怒地掛斷了電話。對 Ava 說了一句話後,他迅速離開了醫院。

『看來我也該回去了,不然 Daniel 發現我不在家會抓狂的,』Olivia 想到這裡,撅了撅嘴。隨後,她跳上一輛計程車,趕回家。

壁爐裡的火燒得很旺,給房子帶來了一些溫暖,但 Olivia 卻裹著毯子,蜷縮在沙發上。

毯子下是一個瘦削的身影,她的臉被頭髮遮住,似乎顯露出她的顴骨輪廓。

『這個女人怎麼看起來比以前更瘦了?』Daniel 想著,然後將目光從 Olivia 身上轉到桌子上,那裡放著簽好的離婚協議。

Daniel 拿起離婚協議,瞥了一眼。內容和他之前說的一樣,但多了一項要求:Daniel 必須支付一千萬美元的贍養費。

當 Daniel 看到最後一項關於贍養費的要求時,他氣得大笑,抓起桌上的杯子,狠狠地摔在地上。

破碎的玻璃聲驚醒了 Olivia,她從睡夢中醒來。

「我還在想你為什麼願意離婚,原來是為了錢?」Daniel 冷笑著看著從沙發上坐起來的 Olivia。

"WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHO DID THIS TO HER?!"
Cole's eyes shifted deep red, "It's not your fucking concern! Is she YOUR mate now?!"
"See that's what I mean, if she'd had THAT man protecting her, maybe this wouldn't have happened," Stace yelled, tossing her arms into the air.
"Stacey Ramos, you will address your Alpha with his due respect, are we clear?"
Alex growled, icy blue eyes glaring at her.
She nodded quietly.
Andres also lowered his head slightly, showing submission, "Of course she's not my mate Alpha, however..."
"However, what, Delta?!"

"At the moment, you haven't rejected her. That would make her our Luna..."

Soft hot lips find the shell of my ear and he whispers, "You think I don't want you?" He pushes his hips forward, grinding into the back of my ass and I groan. "Really?" He chuckles.

"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."

I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.

Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.

"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."

"You want my forgiveness?" he asked, my voice dropping to a dangerous timbre.

Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.

"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.

My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.

My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...

Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.

Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...

Trigger/Content Warning:
This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised.
It includes elements such as BDSM dynamics, explicit sexual content, toxic family relationships, occasional violence and strong language.
This is not a fluffy romance. It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire.


“Take off your dress, Meadow.”

“Why?”

“Because your ex is watching,” he said, leaning back into his seat. “And I want him to see what he lost.”

••••••••••••*
Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance.

One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger’s offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring.

Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel.
He also suffers from a neurological condition—he can’t feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch.

Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed.
She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience… revenge.
But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming.

Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything.

Alaric doesn’t share what’s his.
Not his company.
Not his wife.
And definitely not his vengeance.
