Introduction
My hand instinctively reached for my stomach. "So... it's really gone?"
"Your cancer-weakened body can't support the pregnancy. We need to end it, soon," the doctor says.
After the surgery, HE showed up. "Audrey Sinclair! How dare you make this decision without consulting me?"
I wanted to pour out my pain, to feel his embrace. But when I saw the WOMAN beside him, I gave up.
Without hesitation, he left with that "fragile" woman. That kind of tenderness, I’ve never felt it.
However, I don't mind that anymore as I have nothing now - my child, my love, and even... my life.
Audrey Sinclair, a poor woman, fell in love with a man she shouldn't have. Blake Parker, New York's most powerful billionaire, has everything a man could dream of - money, power, influence - but one thing: he doesn't love her.
Five years of one-sided love. Three years of secret marriage. A diagnosis that leaves her with three months to live.
When the Hollywood starlet returns from Europe, Audrey Sinclair knows it's time to end her loveless marriage. But she doesn't understand - since he doesn't love her, why did he refuse when she proposed divorce? Why is he torturing her during these last three months of her life?
As time slips away like sand through an hourglass, Audrey must choose: die as Mrs. Parker, or live her final days in freedom.
Chapter 1
Audrey's POV
The white walls of Mayo Clinic seemed colder than usual today. Or maybe it was just me, sitting in Dr. Evans' office, staring at my phone screen while waiting for her to return with the test results. The headline on Page Six glared back at me: "Hollywood Starlet Laurel Rose Makes Surprise Return, Greeted by NYC's Most Eligible Bachelor."
Most eligible bachelor. I almost laughed at that. The media had no idea Blake Parker, New York's golden boy and CEO of Parker Group, had been married for the past three years. To me, of all people. The photos showed him at JFK, welcoming her with that smile I used to know so well. When was the last time he smiled at me like that?
Three months. That was all I had left, according to Dr. Evans. Now this. I swiped past another photo of them together, looking every bit like the perfect couple everyone claimed they were.
"Mrs. Parker?" Dr. Evans' voice pulled me from my thoughts. She never used my married name unless we were alone. To the rest of the world, I was still Audrey Sinclair, the country girl who'd been switched at birth and found her way back to the Sinclair fortune at eighteen. The secret wife wasn't part of my public story.
I looked up, but I already knew what she was going to say. The gentleness in her eyes said it all.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Parker. We couldn't save the baby."
My hand instinctively went to my stomach. "So... it's really gone?"
"Due to your cancer, your body is too weak right now." She paused, choosing her words carefully. "We need to end the pregnancy. The sooner, the better."
I nodded, surprising myself with how calm I felt. Maybe after five years of loving Blake Parker, after three years of a marriage that existed only on paper, after learning I only had a few months left... maybe I had finally run out of tears.
"Can we do it today?"
Dr. Evans blinked, startled by my request. "Yes, but..."
"No painkillers," I cut her off. "I want to feel everything."
"Audrey, you don't have to do this. The pain..."
"Please." I met her concerned gaze. "I need this."
The hospital corridors buzzed with whispers as I made my way to the surgical wing. Two nurses huddled by the water cooler, their voices carrying despite their attempts at discretion.
"Did you see Laurel Rose? Three years in Europe, and the moment she's back, Blake Parker himself picks her up at JFK."
"Well, they were college sweethearts. He waited three years while she was building her career in Europe. If that's not true love, I don't know what is."
If that's true love, I thought, then what do you call spending three years caring for someone in a coma? What do you call loving someone who's never loved you back?
But I knew what they'd call it: pathetic. The same thing Blake's mother called me when I refused to leave his side after the accident. The same thing his sister whispered when I spent nights sleeping in a hospital chair.
The operating room was ready. Dr. Evans made one last attempt to change my mind about the painkillers, but I remained firm. As I lay back on the cold table, I thought about the phone calls I'd made this morning. Five attempts to reach Blake. Five calls that went straight to voicemail. Five chances for him to answer, to be here, to prove me wrong about us.
"Audrey Sinclair! How dare you make this decision without consulting me?"
Blake's voice filled the recovery room thirty minutes after the procedure. He stood in the doorway, looking impeccable as always, his face twisted with anger. Even furious, he was beautiful. It wasn't fair.
"I tried calling you." My voice came out steadier than I expected.
"Bullshit. There are no missed calls from you."
"Check your call history."
He pulled out his phone, swiping through it with exaggerated deliberation before letting out a cold laugh. "Nothing. You're quite the liar, aren't you, Audrey?"
Of course not, I thought. Laurel would have made sure of that.
"Looks like losing this baby was the right choice after all," I said instead, watching his face darken with rage.
He stepped closer, his presence filling the room like it always did. "You had no right...”
"Oh... my head..."
The soft moan from the doorway cut through our confrontation like a knife. Laurel Rose stood there, one hand pressed to her forehead, the other gripping the doorframe. Her white dress and pale complexion made her look fragile and delicate.
"Blake, darling, I feel dizzy..."
I watched as Blake's entire demeanor changed. The fury in his eyes melted into concern as he turned away from me, rushing to catch Laurel as she swayed dramatically.
"What's wrong? Should I call a doctor?"
She shook her head weakly, clinging to his arm. "I just... the stress of travel maybe..."
And just like that, I became invisible. I watched as Blake supported Laurel's waist, his touch gentle in a way it had never been with me. I watched as he guided her carefully toward the door, all thoughts of our argument forgotten.
Through the window of my VIP room, I could see them moving down the corridor. His arm around her waist. Her head on his shoulder. The perfect couple, according to Page Six and everyone else.
As their figures disappeared around the corner, I placed a hand over my empty womb, knowing this was my cue to exit gracefully.
After all, what was left to hold onto?
I pulled out my phone, staring at the outgoing calls list one last time. Five failed attempts to reach Blake. Even if he knew the truth about these calls now, it would be just the same.
The nurse handed me a paper bag of medications at the checkout counter. I didn't bother looking inside.
The Lunar mansion felt emptier than usual when I got home. I made it halfway to the bedroom before the first wave of pain hit. Sharp, twisting agony in my stomach that made me double over. Somehow I managed to stumble to the bathroom, barely making it to the toilet before the metallic taste filled my mouth.
The white porcelain turned red, and my head grew increasingly heavy - I lost consciousness.

He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.

Locked in her frozen tower, Bella dreamed of warmth, of touch, of freedom and of love. Cursed with the power of ice and snow, she’s spent her life alone. A secret they tried to protect the world from. Her only escape comes in the form of the books she reads. Stories of heat, desire, and the kind of love that could melt even her frostbitten heart.

When frost meets fire, the world shatters. She was never meant to leave her tower. He was never meant to find her. But destiny doesn’t bow to kings or care for cages and now the question burns through them both: Can Bella have her Beast? Or will the girl of snow melt in the heat of his desire?
.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."
