After returning, Adrianna Simmons sent a message to Zander Greene via WhatsApp.

"We need to end things."

An hour later, he replied.

"Adrianna, what's going on? Did I do something wrong?"

He wrapped her in his arms, and the scent of vanilla perfume surrounded her. Of course, they'd been so close that it was natural he'd carry her scent.

Suppressing the ache in her heart, Adrianna spoke bitterly, "The person you truly care about is Iyla, isn't it?"

"Is that why you're upset?" he scoffed, pushing her away with anger flashing in his eyes.

"Adrianna Simmons, didn't I tell you before? I'm just horseback riding with Iyla for fun."

"Are you really that insecure?"

So, having fun includes hugging? she thought, but she wanted him to admit it himself.

"And how exactly are you having fun?" she asked.

"Just riding horses, nothing more!" he replied without a moment's hesitation, not a trace of guilt on his face.

Her chest tightened with unease, and at last, she understood why she had been deceived by him for so long. He was a master at pretending, his facade flawless.

"Is that so?" she looked up into his dark eyes.

He finally looked away with a trace of unease, biting his lip as he said, "Adrianna, I didn't realize you could be so petty."

"Sure, Iyla might have a tomboy streak, but she's bold and generous, unlike you."

Watching his lips move, she suddenly felt a wave of revulsion and unfamiliarity. So, this is what the end of love looks like, she thought—mutual disdain and harsh words.

No, that's not right, because he never loved me at all.

"Then let's break up," she said as tears began to fall.

At that moment, his phone rang. The name on the screen read "Sweetheart," and it cut deep. He'd never called her that.

He once said it was too cheesy, but now she understood he just never wanted to call her "Sweetheart."

Zander answered the call right in front of her. "What's up?"

His tone softened.

"Zander, I... I'm a bit tipsy," Iyla's voice slurred over the line.

"I want to tell you a secret. Do you want to hear it?"

"That is, I like you. I don't want you to be with Adrianna Simmons. Can you come over now?"

Zander didn't reply to her immediately but instead looked at Adrianna with a questioning gaze.

"Adrianna, if you take back what you just said, I won't go."

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she said clearly, "We’re breaking up."

"Did you hear that?"

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.

Four years ago, to protect the man I loved from losing his billionaire empire, I drugged his drink, told him I only used him for his money, and vanished. Now, at a high-society gala, Callum Wyatt is back. He isn't just a CEO anymore; he's a ruthless predator, and the second his eyes lock onto me, I know I am his prey. When my wealthy half-sister publicly humiliated me, calling me the cheap bastard child of a homewrecker, Callum stepped out of the shadows. He nearly snapped her wrist in half and declared to New York's elite that anyone who touched me would be dismantled. In the back of his Maybach, he pinned my arms above my head, his eyes burning with psychotic obsession. "If you run again, Aubrey, I will burn your entire world to the ground just to keep you." My heart bled. I had spent four grueling years tearing myself apart to keep him out of my messy, blood-soaked revenge against the family that watched my mother die.

But as I walked onto the soundstage, facing the heiress trying to steal my role, I took off my sunglasses. I wasn't running anymore; it was time to make them pay.
