Introduction
To make matters worse, a zombie horde then broke out.
We had no shelter and were quickly torn apart by a horde of frenzied zombies.
After being reborn, she planned to run off with all the money, then dump me and elope with her lover.
What she didn't know was that I had awakened the ability to read minds and knew all her plans.
Chapter 1
"Victor, darling? Are you listening to me?"
In a luxurious Michelin-starred French restaurant on the top floor of Manhattan, Ashley swirled a glass of Lafite wine in her hand , a hint of extreme impatience and coldness playing on her lips .
I sat across from her, my fingers unconsciously gripping the sterling silver knife and fork, my face slightly pale .
Today is our 15th wedding anniversary.
My wife, Ashley, who had been addicted to gambling on soccer, tearfully promised me that she would change her ways.
This is what I've always hoped for.
Before I could even feel happy, another voice suddenly exploded in my mind!
It was a voice exactly like Ashley's, but filled with malice and fanaticism:
[That damn idiot, what's he staring at me for? It's disgusting. Is he going to pay me or not?]
The voice was like a high-voltage current piercing straight into my brain. I jerked my head up and stared in shock at Ashley, who still looked pitiful.
Is this... her true feelings?!
Before I could even react, that sharp, piercing voice surged into my mind once more:
[If it weren't for wanting to swindle your last bit of money, I wouldn't even want to look at you! You were the one who ruined my luck in my past life, you green-haired turtle, and I absolutely can't be soft-hearted again in this one!]
Past life? This life?!
My breath hitched.
She...was reborn?!
I've memorized the correct Super Bowl score from my past life. If I can just get this idiot's savings , with odds dozens of times higher ... I 'll definitely make a fortune !
[ As soon as I get the money, I'll build a safe fortress. Five days later , when that damn zombie virus breaks out, I 'll move in with Brad and Luke— Luke is Brad's son anyway . Then the three of us can be reunited and live the high life in the apocalypse.]
As for Viktor, that piece of trash? Just like in his past life, let him be torn to shreds by zombies !
Bang!
It felt as if something inside my chest had been completely torn apart, shattered into nothingness.
More than a decade of marriage, heartfelt devotion, countless times filling the bottomless pit of underground casinos for her.
Even though she made mistakes repeatedly , I always forgave her... but what was the result?
In her eyes, I was just a rich, foolish ATM, a shield that could be used to feed zombies in the apocalypse!
Even my son, whom I've loved for over a decade , is a bastard child she had with another man !
“Darling? You look terrible. Are you feeling unwell? Or… don’t you believe me … ” Ashley’s eyes were red.
[Speak up, you useless piece of trash! I'm sick of this pretense of being sentimental! Hurry up and hand over the money, my Brad is in Miami waiting for me to wire the money to place his bets!]
A woman who is extremely hypocritical.
I sat in the dining chair, a murderous intent that seemed to destroy the world suddenly surged within me.
But I didn't roar, I didn't flip the table and question.
If she really is a devil who crawled back from hell, then my impotent rage will only make me lose my only trump card.
I now possess the ability to read minds and see right through her.
“How could that be, Ashley?” I loosened my grip on the knife and fork, picked up the napkin beside me, elegantly wiped my mouth, and looked at her calmly. “Are you really promising me that you will never touch those betting odds again?”
“ Darling, I swear to God ! If I touch it again, may I go to hell!” Ashley gripped my palm tightly.
[Go to hell, you idiot! I almost got all the answers right in my past life. It's all your fault, you unlucky thing! ]
"Very good." I felt the warmth of her palm and a smile that even I found satisfying stretched across my lips .
" As long as you repent and change your ways, I will have the finance department transfer all the savings into a bank card under our joint name tomorrow , and you can manage it."
Ashley's pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and her hand, which was gripping mine, trembled with excitement.
Her extreme greed had completely warped her soul.
But on the surface, she looked like a devout saint with tears in her eyes: "Victor, are you kidding me? My God, we must save this money carefully for our future and Luke's future!"
I took the initiative, holding her hand tightly with deep affection.
She thought that by having the script of rebirth, she could manipulate everything like God and ascend to the top step by step.
I will not agree.

Everybody is Guilty Here
Middlesbrough's underworld is a dangerous game, and Matthew Smith finds himself right in the middle of it. A once-feared gang leader, he is now forced to be a pawn in a deadly cat-and-mouse game. Matthew's only shot at freedom is helping the police bring down Mr. K, the elusive mafia boss of the city. The only problem is that the detective he is forced to work with is the same man who arrested him years ago.
Masahiro Payne is everything Matthew hates: cold, calculating, and relentless. But their only hope for survival is by pretending to be a happy couple, blending in amidst dangerous crime, deceit, and power struggles. The closer they find themselves to taking down Mr. K's empire, the more they are attracted to one another, an affair too potent to turn from.
As their undercover mission spirals into a web of lies and hidden desires, they face a growing threat from all sides. But the greatest risk is the one they can't control-their own feelings. With every touch, every stolen kiss, the line between their fake relationship and real emotions blurs.
In a world of betrayal, trust is a luxury, and falling for each other may be the deadliest mistake of all. Can they survive the deadly mafia games or will their passion be their demise?
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.
Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?
