Chapters

Chapter 2

In a single day, my entire world crumbled.

What should have been my wedding day turned into a tragedy, as my beloved Atlas and dear Grandma passed away, one after the other. I sat on the living room couch, tears ceaselessly streaming down my face.

"Why did this happen?" I muttered, thinking back. I was an abandoned baby, discovered by Atlas's family in the Alps. They believed I brought them good fortune and enveloped me with love. Atlas, in particular, had always been my protector, and over time, his affection for me grew deeper. We were meant to share a beautiful future together, but now everything lay in ruins. I needed to uncover the truth about what really happened.

“Dad, can I see the letter?” I asked quietly.

Wilson shook his head, gripping the paper tightly. "Paige, don't push it. Sometimes knowing too much is not a blessing."

I wanted to argue, but his pained expression stopped me in my tracks.

As night descended, the house was enveloped in an unsettling silence. Tossing and turning in bed, I couldn't rid my mind of Atlas and Grandma's smiling faces. Suddenly, a faint sound broke the silence. I slipped out of bed and noticed the living room light was on.

Wilson stood there, fixated on the letter in his hands.

“Dad…” I called out gently.

He turned abruptly, a peculiar smile spreading across his face. "Paige, I just want you to be happy."

A wave of unease surged through me, as though something dreadful was imminent. Without thinking, I reached out and touched his arm, feeling the eerie coldness of his skin.

“Dad, don’t…”

Before I could finish, he pulled away and dashed toward the balcony. His sudden movement sent me sprawling onto the floor. Pain jolted through me, but I ignored it and scrambled to my feet.

“Dad! Please, no! Dad…”

I screamed, my voice filled with despair and terror. But my cries were futile. Amid my screams, Wilson climbed over the railing and jumped.

I collapsed on the floor, my mind a blank void. It all happened so fast, too fast to grasp. Not until I heard the sickening thud from below did I return to reality, tears uncontrollably flooding my eyes.

Esther rushed out at the sound, and seeing the empty balcony, she instantly understood what had happened. Her legs buckled, and she sank to the floor, sobbing in unbearable grief.

Ayleen Avery was just a struggling hotel worker trying to survive her shift. But during a sudden blackout, she accidentally stumbled into the pitch-black VIP suite of a ruthless billionaire driven mad by chronic insomnia. Calmed only by her unique natural scent of roses and rain, the terrifying man attacked her from the shadows and forced himself on her. Terrified and broken, Ayleen fled at dawn, unknowingly leaving behind her late mother's antique rose necklace in his bed. Her greedy coworker found the necklace, claimed to be the woman from that night, and was instantly swept into a life of luxury. Meanwhile, Ayleen was blackmailed into a forced marriage with her attacker—Cassius Doyle—to save her adoptive father from prison. Deceived by the stolen necklace, Cassius believed Ayleen was a manipulative spy. He brought the coworker into their home and paraded her around the master bedroom. "In this house, you are lower than the dirt on my shoes." He choked Ayleen, forced her to sleep in a damp storage room, and treated her with violent disgust while pampering the thief. Ayleen was suffocating in absolute despair. She had lost her innocence, her freedom, and her mother's only relic to a vicious liar. She couldn't understand how this all-powerful man could be so completely blind. Why couldn't he recognize the very scent that had cured his agonizing madness? Staring at the dark bruises he had just left on her neck, Ayleen wiped the blood from her lip. She would endure this three-month marriage to secure her family's safety, but once the contract ended, she would expose the truth and tear down the fake savior he cherished so much.

Her Neglect, My Undying Haunted Soul

8.2

I was the biological daughter, yet my mother looked at me with disgust while worshipping my adopted sister, Carina. When I vanished for two months, my mother laughed it off as a "tantrum" designed to ruin my grandmother's jubilee. She only stopped laughing when the detective slammed a forensics report on the table. "Your daughter didn't just die, Mrs. Fowler," the officer said, his voice cold. "She was buried alive by the elements. It took her three days to suffocate in that ravine." My mother turned pale, stammering that she never got a call for help. The detective' s eyes narrowed. "Oh, she called. Five times. Someone answered the last one, listened to her scream, and then deleted the log to cover it up." The room went dead silent. Slowly, my mother' s horrified gaze turned toward Carina, the "perfect" daughter, who was trembling violently in the corner. My ghost watched from the shadows of the interrogation room as the realization finally hit her. She hadn't just neglected me; she had raised the monster who left me to die.

Reborn As The Cold Villain's Daughter

I woke up suffocating in the dark, only to find my mind trapped inside a tiny, plump, and entirely uncoordinated body. A cold, mechanical voice echoed in my brain, announcing that I was dead in my original world and had transmigrated into a corporate revenge novel as the six-month-old illegitimate daughter of Edward McClure, the story's ruthless villain. The system mercilessly outlined my doomed fate. Tonight, my cold-blooded father would abandon me to a state orphanage. By age two, he would officially sign my rights away, leaving me to die miserably at the hands of human traffickers. Outside my nursery, I could hear his terrifying footsteps approaching, his voice devoid of any human warmth as he debated throwing me out like garbage. I was completely helpless, trapped in a baby's body, staring up at a man who looked at me with pure, visceral disgust. Why did I have to be reborn as the tragic cannon fodder of a tyrant destined to put a bullet in his own head? How was I supposed to win over a severe germaphobe when my unequipped infant reflexes made me literally pee and vomit all over his pristine Tom Ford suits? "Your ultimate mission is to prevent Edward McClure's self-destruction. Step one: Survive tonight's abandonment crisis." Hearing the system's terrifying ultimatum, I swallowed my adult panic, forced a pool of pitiful tears into my large eyes, and reached my chubby little hands toward the monster.
