Introduction

The first birthday after we finally made up.

Shen Linze sent me a menu and told me to cook everything myself.

He invited all his close friends, plus the girl he was chasing, saying it was a birthday party for me.

On the long dining table were the stir-fried dishes I’d spent three hours rushing to make.

Shen Linze picked up a piece of sweet and sour spareribs and carefully held it to the girl’s mouth.

“Yaoyao, have a taste. I asked Su Qingyan to make them specially—they’re all your favorite dishes.”

The girl sitting in the main seat didn’t react at all.

Shen Linze put down his chopsticks and told the servants to wheel out a custom-made multi-layer cake.

“Do you like it? I designed this just for you. It has the place where we first met, your prettiest smile,
your favorite flowers, your favorite color purple, the wedding you’ve always wanted, and the initials of your name: ZY…”

Three months ago, I’d seen that exact cake design in Shen Linze’s office.

After he finished the design, he brought in several top pastry chefs from abroad and spent three months making it.

My birthday was coming soon, and I’d thought the “ZY” on the cake stood for the last characters of both our names.

I never knew it was just my own foolish wishful thinking.

Chapter 1

After remarrying, my husband Aaron Hill asked me to cook.

He called over his good friends, along with the girl he was pursuing.

"Anna, try it and see how it tastes? I had Sophia make it specially—all your favorite dishes."

Anna Sarah remained unmoved.

Aaron put down his utensils and had the servants wheel out a custom-made multi-tier cake.

Anna glanced at the cake, her tone flat, "Aaron, I've told you many times—I don't like getting close to married men. Instead of trying to please me this way, why don't you go comfort your wife? I remember you two just reconciled less than a year ago. Aren't you afraid she'll make a scene again?"

Hearing this, Aaron's lips curved slightly.

"She's just an old woman. The one I truly love is you."

Chapter 1

I stood at the doorway holding a plate, numb.

After two years of marriage, I knew Aaron's temper best.

As the heir to the corporation, he chose to marry me to secure his position as CEO.

I thought he loved me, but I was wrong.

His mother, Haven Hill, had seen through his nature long ago. She once told me, "Men all like to play around. He'll probably cheat again in the future. If you can't take it anymore and want to leave, you can come to me. I can arrange your divorce and compensate you with whatever you want."

Aaron, since you like chasing novelty so much, I might as well let you have it completely.

I untied my apron and sent out a message.

[Mom, I want to divorce Aaron. Also, I want a spot in the International Piano Competition.]

Soon, I got a reply.

[Give me three days.]

I had just replied when I heard Anna's voice.

"Mrs. Hill, why are you standing there? Is my favorite Tortilla de Mariscos ready?"

Everyone looked at me, including Aaron.

He frowned and let go of Anna's hand.

His friend quickly stood up.

"Sophia, don't misunderstand—we took it upon ourselves to invite her."

"Don't take it the wrong way! We meant well. For a birthday, the more people the merrier."

Anna glanced at me sideways, "You're Mrs. Hill? I'm sure you saw what just happened. Please control your husband. He harasses me every day, causing me quite a bit of trouble."

I laughed softly, "Maybe some mistresses just enjoy that sense of superiority. Or maybe Aaron prefers being controlled by his mistress."

"You're calling me a mistress?"

Anna's eyes filled with tears, her innocent face showing defiance.

"Aaron, I may come from humble beginnings, but I'm pure and have never been in a relationship. Many men have pursued me, but I haven't even let them touch my hand, let alone married men."

"But now your wife is calling me a mistress. You'd better give me a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, don't see me again!"

Only then did Aaron stand up.

He walked to my side, his tone gentle but carrying an undertone that I must obey.

"Honey, you shouldn't bully a young girl. Apologize to Anna quickly."

"Me apologize?" I scoffed. "Aaron, the one who should apologize is you. Have you forgotten the vows you made a year ago?"

"If you hadn't made a scene back then, would I have said those things? Just apologize."

Aaron's face darkened as he gripped my wrist tightly.

"Be good, honey. This is the first time I've met such a pure girl. She's different from other women. I really want to experience what a virgin feels like. If I can't see her anymore, I'll be very sad."

The word "pure" cut deep—if I hadn't saved him back then, I wouldn't have been raped.

I took a deep breath, "What if I refuse?"

"Then don't blame me."

Aaron made a phone call, and two bodyguards rushed in from outside.

"Do you really have to force me?"

Aaron slowly released my wrist.

"Honey, can't we avoid making this awkward? I really can't bear to hurt you."

"I said I won't apologize!"

"Do it then. Be gentle—my wife is afraid of pain."

Aaron waved his hand.

The bodyguards pressed me firmly onto the cold floor, forcing me to kneel.

At that moment, my heartbreak hurt more than my knees.

I stubbornly looked up and caught Anna's victorious smile.

"Mr. Hill, so you really are sincere about me! I agree to have dinner with just you tonight. I wonder if Mr. Hill will choose to go out with me or stay home and celebrate his wife's birthday?"

"In my heart, you'll never be a choice."

With that, Aaron bent down and helped me up with tender eyes, "Be good, honey. Go home and wait. I'll come back to be with you right after dinner."

"Whatever."

I didn't look at him. I straightened my clothes, turned around, and went back to the bedroom.

This time, I won't look back.

I caught him.

The man I was meant to marry—the rising Alpha, the pride of the Pack—thrusting into another girl like I didn't exist.

But I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I didn't even flinch.

Because the pain had carved me hollow long before he ever touched her.

He thinks I'm weak. That I'll stand by his side in two days, smile for the ceremony, and hand him my loyalty with the Alpha title.

But he's wrong.

I'm not the broken little Luna they think I am. I'm the storm they never saw coming.

The Pack worships him, but only I know the truth buried beneath his perfect lies. So I'll take everything he wants most—the throne, the title, the crown he was born to wear—and win it out from under him, in front of everyone who ever called me unworthy.

Screw the Pack. Screw the respect. Screw being tame.

I'm fury dressed in skin, madness wearing heels, and heartbreak turned into a goddamn weapon.

They wanted a loyal Luna??

Instead...

They created a monster.

And when the throne is finally mine...

The Pack won't remember the name of the Alpha who betrayed me.

They'll remember the woman who took his crown...
