What exactly does he want from her?
...
No, you must want something, anything. If you can really help me get revenge on David and Lana, I can't just let you do it for free".
Ethan went quiet for a while.
I held my breath waiting for what his request might be.
If it was something money could buy, I'll try my best to get it for him even though I was somehow broke right now.
"You're right I do want something". He said after thinking for few minutes
"What?" I asked slowly.
" Until you get your revenge on David, Lana and every other person you want, you will live here".
Live here as in...?
" Wha... What are you saying? ". I stammered hoping he wasn't saying what I thought he was saying. I tried to step back but I missed a step and almost fell on the bed but Ethan caught me holding me in his muscular arms.
Ethan moved his face closer to mine be was so close, our nose almost touched.
" I want you to be with me! ".
Chapter 1
Rachel's POV
" I'll be seeing him after a very long time, I have to make everything perfect ". I told my best friend, Lana over the phone.
Today was the day David and I are finally going to consummate their marriage. We had been married for three years, three fucking years yet that man had never touched me.
As surprising as it sounds, it's true. Starting from the day David and I got married, he had begun to act strange. On our wedding night, he just left and came back the next day, we didn't even have an honeymoon.
Well, all that was going to change today. He would be coming back after his long business trip that took almost six months and I was ready.
" Just don't stress yourself out. I know how much you want today to turn out perfect but..." Lana tried to say, but I'm not hearing any if it.
" Lana, if everything goes well, you'll be a godmother in nine months, isn't that exciting? ".
" Shelly... " I could actually feel the way Lana would be shaking her head right now at my overexcited attitude.
As in who gets this excited just because they want to sleep with their husband? Well, that would be me.
In the past few years of marriage I had been tormented several times by David family asking fot a heir. None of them would believe that it wasn't my fault, David just touched me!
But today, today is the day I have been waiting for. It's david and I 3rd marriage anniversary and I'm ready to make it a blissful one.
"Oh, I got to go, I need to inspect everything, love you Ana". I ended the call.
Yes, today was the day.
Taking a deep breath, I headed over to the bedroom where I had meticulously arranged. There were rise petals on the bed arranged in a beautiful big love sign, and by every corner of the room, candles which I would light later so they dont burn out. The windows were draped in black linen giving the room a romantic vibe.
Everything was set for my evening with David, my husband.
Just as I was about to leave the room to check on other things, I felt my phone ring. Checking the ID caller, it was my husband, David.
"Hello honey" I called out shyly immediately I answered the phone.
Despite the fact that we have been married for years now, I still find it strange to call him sweet endearment, but I did anyways.
" Rachel, I'm sorry but I can't come back home to uhm tonight. ".
What was that?
My heart became heavy for two reasons. One, after all my preparations, David won't be coming home and secondly, David was with someone.
I could hear the moan from the other side of the phone clearly.
Was he cheating on me?
" Rachel... Yes uhm... I mean Rachel are you still there? " David called out his voice a bit low pitched because of how aroused he was.
I froze completely, David was cheating on me and had the guts to call me so I could hear the mistress voice.
Before I knew it, the phone went off but not after several moaning from both individuals in the room.
My eyes filled up with tears.
This was not happening, I shook my head. I was still trying to recover from what had just happened when I received a text message from an unknown number.
' Come to Gold ville hotel, room 167 ' it read.
What was this? Who was this?
I couldn't think properly anymore. I picked up my bag and went to the car.
If I was in my normal senses, I would have questioned the text probably text back to find out who texted me. I would have thought maybe it was a trap or something like that, but my head was scrambled to the point I didn't care.
Arriving at the hotel, I went straight to the counter and showed them the text.
"Oh... You're the one. ". The lady at the counter looked at me suspiciously, before giving me the keys to the room.
Again, if I was in my right mind I would've wondered why the lady said ' Oh, you're the one ' as if she was expecting me.
I arrived at the room door. Reluctantly I opened the door with the keys the receptionist gave me. The room was dark, but I could still make out two figures on the huge bed naked.
"Da... David?" My voice shook. No only my voice, my whole body shook when my eyes adjusted to the dark and I could make out the woman's face.
" Lana?"
Lana quickly hid behind David.
" Rachel, what... What are you doing here?" David asked trying to hide Lana from my view, but I already saw her.
My legs couldn't take it anymore and I fell to my knees.
"Lana? Of all the people you could cheat on me with, you picked my best friend?" I cried.
My heart felt like it was being shredded to tiny pieces.
My husband and the woman who I could trust my life to, were sleeping together.
" Rachel, it's... This... This is not what it looks like" David said trying to explain.
Lana who still trying to stay hidden behind David also spoke up.
"Yes, it's not... It's not what it looks like".
"Ok, then what is it? Let me tell you what it looks like, My best friend and my husband were having sex together in an hotel room". I shouted frightening Lana.
She should be scared.
I got up from the floor and launched myself towards Lana to rip her apart, but David stopped me just in time and flung me to a wall.
" How dare you try to lay your filthy hands on her!" He shouted at me.
My body was all sore from the way I was thrown to the wall, but the pain in my heart from David's words hurt even more.
I looked up to him, clenching my hands to a fist to stop myself from crying.
" I'm your wife!" I shouted back.
" You may be his wife, but I'm the one he truly loves". I heard Lana say from behind David.
My body shook furiously.
"What did you just say?"
"You heard her, she's the one I love. I was going to have you sign the divorce papers today".
My head began to spin.
Divorce?
" No... No... We can't divorce, we've been together for 10 years, 10 years David. We only go married three years ago and you're choosing her over me". The tears I've been trying hard to keep inside me began rolling down my eyes like a damn water fountain.
David got up from the bed wearing only his briefs and went to a table by the corner to pick up some papers which he threw at me.
"Now that you're here, it only makes this more easy, Sign this and we're over".
" No... " I shook my head.
" We can't divorce, we... We can fix this the both of us". I crawled to David holding his knees as I begged.
I loved him enough to endure my ex best friend's humiliating laughter.
Lana laughed getting down from the bed holding the bedsheet close to her to cover her nakedness.
" Look here, Shelly. David loves me, he's only with you because of his family. But sooner or later he's going to divorce you and marry me, so just sign the damn papers. "
I looked up at my best friend, no, ex best friend in tears.

Rejected By My Family, Desired By The Mafia
While the real heiress struggled to survive, the nanny’s daughter, Talia, was raised in luxury as the beloved jewel of the Laurent family, pampered by Camille’s parents, adored by her three brothers, and even promised to the prestigious Matteo Devereux through a childhood engagement arranged by their grandparents.
Then the truth came out.
Six months ago, Camille was finally brought back to the Laurent family. To protect the family reputation and prove their devotion to their bloodline, the Laurent patriarch transferred 35% of his personal shares into Camille’s name overnight, instantly making her one of the wealthiest heiresses in the country.
It brought anxiety to all the Laurent family. But what they don’t know…is that Camille never needed them.
Behind her elegant smile lies a woman filled with secrets powerful enough to shake the whole family. She's a miraculous healer capable of curing the incurable poisons.
Yet despite everything, her family still chooses Talia.
Every accusation against Talia is forgiven. Every scheme against Camille is brushed aside. Even Matteo, the man who was supposed to be Camille’s fiancé—cannot let go of the woman he always believed belonged by his side.
But while the Laurent family underestimates Camille, another man begins to see exactly who she is.
Dante Moretti.
The ruthless heir of an old-money dynasty. A billionaire CEO worshipped by the public…and the merciless king of a criminal empire hidden beneath the city’s glittering surface. When Dante is poisoned by a rival syndicate with a deadly toxin no doctor can cure, he offers a fortune for anyone who can save him.
Only Camille can. Their deal is simple: she becomes his personal physician, and he gives her anything she wants.
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.

His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display.
