Introduction

Five years ago, at the engagement party, Alice was schemed against by her malicious sister Nova and was cast out of the family. Nova seized their mother's only inheritance.
Pregnant and unwed, Alice didn't know who the father was.
Five years later, Alice returned with her three children, determined to reclaim everything that belonged to her. To her astonishment, she discovered that the father of her children was none other than her fiancé from five years ago.
Mr. Hall: "You gave birth to my three children. Why won't you accept me?"
Alice: "I need love."
Mr. Hall: "I will make you feel my deep love!"
Alice: "You womanizer, always flirting around!"
Mr. Hall: "Baby, my heart has always belonged to you!"
(2/Day)

Chapter 1

Alice Blair lay stark naked on the bed, her hands roaming over her own body, a fire of desire raging inside her, leaving her feeling empty and restless.

Outside, the storm raged on, wind and rain howling, thunder crashing. She moved in sync with the storm, her body twisting and turning, her nipples hard and aching from her own touch.

She couldn't hold back the moans that matched the storm's fury.

Alice's mind was foggy, her eyes unfocused.

But one thing was clear that her own sister had drugged her with an aphrodisiac!

That sneaky little half-sister!

Lightning lit up the dim room now and then, casting her writhing silhouette on the wall.

Alice's legs rubbed together uncontrollably, her hands gliding over her skin, up to her chest.

She craved a man's touch to fill the emptiness inside her.

In her haze, she heard footsteps coming closer, along with a faint, pleasant scent.

She opened her eyes, barely making out a tall figure.

She heard heavy, rapid breathing in her ear, making her heart race.

Lightning flashed, giving her a glimpse of a stunning face, burning the image into her memory.

She felt a hot body press against hers, the man's breath tickling her ear.

She wanted to push him away, but her body wouldn't listen. Instead, she clung to him.

Another moan slipped out.

Their shadows danced on the wall, bodies entwined.

Rain pounded on the window like a desperate plea.

Outside, the wind howled, branches thrashing.

The heavy breathing matched the storm, and Alice felt like she was floating.

'Don't touch me!' she screamed inside, trying to resist.

But she couldn't stop her body's response.

The tingling from her sensitive spots made her hold him tighter, whispering, "Faster, I want more!"

"Is this what you want?" The man's breathing grew heavier, and Alice's resistance crumbled.

"I... I want more."

Her desire peaked.

The man pounded into her, striking at her very soul.

Alice's consciousness faded, a wave of fatigue washing over her, like she was trapped in a dream.

Until a familiar voice outside the door snapped her awake. She opened her eyes to see her naked body, realizing last night wasn't a dream.

"Dad, don't blame Alice. She didn't mean it. I just saw her with a man here. We don't know what really happened," her sister said.

"How dare she do this?"

The door burst open.

Alice looked at the two people who entered. The man with thinning hair was her father, James Blair!

And behind him was the sister who had drugged her, Nova Blair!

The truth was clear, and James's face was grim. "Alice! You're about to marry Zachary Hall, how could you do something so immoral? How can I face the Hall family?"

"Dad, it's not like that. Nova set me up," Alice pleaded.

"Shut up! Nova is your sister. She's always been well-behaved. How could she do such a thing?" James fumed.

"Alice, I know you've always looked down on me because I'm an illegitimate child. If accusing me makes you feel better, I don't mind. I was just afraid that man would hurt you, so I called Dad to save you." Nova's tears flowed, her words sincere and convincing.

"Shut up, you hypocrite! You set me up, I..." Alice's words were cut off by a slap from James.

She held back her tears, enduring the pain and humiliation.

"Enough! Nova cares so much about you, even now she's defending you. And you? How dare you! You did something so shameful, and now you're trying to blame your sister?" James pointed angrily at her. "You are a disgrace, utterly without morals. I have no daughter like you. Get out of the Blair family!"

James stormed out, leaving Alice in a state of shock.

"Dad, let me explain..." Alice called out, clutching a blanket around her. But no matter how much she shouted, James didn't stop.

"Why did you set me up?" she demanded, turning to Nova.

"Alice, what are you talking about? I don't understand," Nova said, feigning innocence.

Alice glared at her, disgusted. "Cut the act, Dad's gone. Ever since you showed up, there's been nothing but trouble. The birthday gift I got for Dad was swapped with a dead rat, the whole family got food poisoning, and I was the only one unaffected, making it look like I did it. I used to think it was Dad's enemies! But now I see it was all you!"

As she pieced it all together, Alice realized her sister had been plotting against her from the start.

Nova's calm smile turned smug, a hint of pride in her eyes. "Yeah, I did it. So what? That poisoning incident? To frame you, I took twice the dose. If I'd been sent to the hospital a bit later, I might've been in real danger."

"You're ruthless!" Alice shouted.

After that incident, James's attitude towards her had changed drastically, while he started favoring Nova more and more.

"Alice, from the day I entered the Blair family, you looked down on me with that superior gaze. From that moment, I swore I'd take everything from you." Nova looked down at Alice, finally feeling the superiority Alice once had.

That sense of superiority, unchallenged and innate!

Without doing anything, just a glance made Nova shrink back.

"Your grades were better, your talent higher, even your fiancé was better than any guy I dated." Nova's face darkened, her voice restrained, eyes filled with madness. "Why are you better at everything? Why do you get all the resources? Why do you have everything?"

Nova, agitated, grabbed Alice's neck, screaming madly.

After venting, she looked at Alice's stubborn face, a smug smile spreading across her lips.

For some reason, Alice saw bitterness in that smile.

"So what if I'm an illegitimate child? So what if I'm not as good as you? In the end, I brought you down to nothing," Nova sneered. "Alice, you always prided yourself on being noble, but look at you now, brought down by me, an illegitimate child."

Alice glared at Nova with hatred. She hated that she realized it too late and didn't dig deeper into the past events.

"That's right, that look on your face. The one where you hate me so much you want me dead, but you can't do a thing about it." Nova laughed, casually tossing Alice's chin aside like trash.

"I've waited a long time for this. You must be so jealous of me now, right? I've taken everything from you!" Nova looked at her with pity. "Alice, you might as well die quietly in some unnoticed corner like a rat."

With that, Nova thought of something amusing and decided to share it with Alice. "Oh, and one more thing, Alice, your clothes were too dirty, so I kindly threw them in the trash. After all, the Blair family can't have useless dirty things, right, Alice?"

Alice stared at Nova, determined to remember her face. She would have her revenge!

The more Alice hated, the more satisfied Nova felt. Until she was tired of messing with her, she said wearily, "Now get out!"

Alice said nothing, got up, wrapped herself in the blanket, and dragged her exhausted body away.

But at that moment, Nova spoke again, "Stop!"

Alice turned back, shocked.

Nova said, "That blanket is also the Blair family's!"

Alice looked at her unfamiliar sister in anger, not expecting even the only blanket covering her body to be taken away!

"If you don't give it, I'll take it myself!" Nova smiled.

I woke up three years into a marriage I barely remembered—pregnant with twins that weren't my husband's.

Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.

Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?
