Hello, I’m Emma.
For years, I believed I was the devoted wife of Peter Williams, a powerful and influential CEO. I gave up everything for him—my dreams, my career, my identity—only to support the man I thought was my everything.
But when I walked into his company to surprise him, my world fell apart.
“Mrs. Williams is upstairs in his office,” they said.
Another Mrs. Williams? The words hit me like a storm. Who is she? And why does no one in his company even know my name?

He takes you to his mansion and throws a document at you to sign.
"No, I won't leave my child... wait, a marriage contract???"

I thought the most embarrassing moment of my life was getting reported by my neighbors for testing... certain special sound effects for my job.
That was until the doorbell rang, and standing there was a police officer so devastatingly handsome it should be illegal. He accused me of harboring a man in my apartment, then flatly informed me that he was the husband from my three-month-old, drunken Vegas-style wedding—the one I had no memory of.
The truly absurd part? He had proof.
Now, this impossib...

This scar—my original sin, and my ten years of loving you.
They all praise genius photographer Liam for capturing the beauty of souls, never knowing his inspiration comes from a scarred girl hiding behind masks—me.
He once said my wounds were angel wings, so I clung to that delusion, painting faces on cheap film sets day and night while he stood in spotlights, photographing supermodels I could never reach.

In my past life, his hatred ran so deep he locked me away for seven years. In this life, I'm desperately trying to avoid him, to help him reconcile with Helen — so why does he keep finding excuses to get closer to me?

When the person you love most becomes the one who hates you most, the truth is often more brutal than you could ever imagine.**

I was supposed to become someone else's wife today.
Standing at the altar, facing my gentle fiancé, I struggled to say "I do" without meaning it. For three years, I had been trying to forget the one who would never come back—my first love, Shawn Mitchell.
The military said he died in combat. I cried until I had no tears left, and even learned to start over.
Until halfway through the wedding ceremony, I saw that familiar silhouette.
"That's Shawn! I'm certain that's Shawn!" I screamed frantic...

He saved me from the abyss, only to drag me into hell.

When the truth unraveled, she chose to tear apart this perfect illusion—even if it meant burning herself, she would make sure her enemies f...

I died for three days. My boyfriend got a new girlfriend in two.

I thought I had married Silicon Valley royalty.
For five years, I gave him everything—my love, my brilliance, my soul.
