Introduction
A mansion in Westport, a successful husband, a beautiful daughter. Sixteen years of marriage that seemed unbreakable.
Until I found another woman's watch band in my husband's car.
Until I discovered that woman was my daughter's soccer coach.
Until I realized my nine-year-old daughter was helping her father lie to me.
Some betrayals strike like lightning. Others seep in like slow poison, until you discover your entire world is a lie.
When I stood on the platform at our annual community barbecue, armed with evidence and burning with rage, I understood a truth that would have destroyed the woman I used to be:
Sometimes the only way to save your family is to destroy it first.
Chapter 1
I was preparing blueberry pancakes and orange juice for my nine-year-old daughter Sophia.
The perfect kitchen. The perfect breakfast. The perfect family.
I remembered three months ago, when my usually obedient Sophia suddenly cried and screamed that she wanted to learn soccer.
When I said no, she went on a hunger strike.
Even stranger, she specifically requested Amy as her coach from the community center.
I had no choice but to agree.
"Mommy makes the best pancakes in the world!" Sophia exclaimed, swinging her legs excitedly.
I smiled.
Footsteps echoed down the stairs. Tom rushed down, adjusting his tie while checking his phone.
"Sorry babe, I have to handle the Peterson deal today. I'll be late to Sophia's game."
I frowned.
Peterson again.
For the past three months, Tom had "emergencies" almost every weekend.
All related to Peterson.
"You know how business is." Tom kissed my forehead, then grabbed his car keys.
That kiss felt mechanical.
Like completing a task.
Sophia suddenly put down her fork. "It's okay! Amy Coach said she arranged special training just for me!"
When she mentioned Amy, her face lit up with a brilliant smile.
A smile I hadn't seen on her face in a long time.
At least not when looking at me.
When did my daughter start depending more on a coach she'd known for three months than on her mother?
At the soccer field, luxury SUVs filled the parking spaces along the green field, soccer moms gathered around their folding chairs.
Here we go again.
I had to play the role of the successful real estate developer's wife.
I plastered on my signature smile and walked toward the other mothers.
"Your Tom is really something in the real estate world!" Lisa said.
I forced enthusiasm: "He's been so busy lately, sometimes I barely see him."
The moment the words left my mouth, I realized I had started unconsciously complaining about Tom to others.
When did that start?
When did I become a nagging wife who complains about her husband?
"Sophia is such a natural athlete!"
Coach Amy walked over—28 years old, golden ponytail, tight athletic wear highlighting her perfect figure.
This was everything I used to have, before I gave up my career to return to family life.
"She must have inherited it from her father's side." Amy's smile seemed unnatural, her cheeks slightly flushed, her voice trembling when mentioning Tom.
Sensing the intimacy in her tone when she mentioned Tom, I instinctively felt something was wrong.
When the game started, all my attention focused on observing Amy.
On the field, Sophia got the ball, beautifully dodged the defender, and scored with one shot!
She jumped up excitedly, and I instinctively stood up, ready to welcome her embrace.
But she ran straight to Coach Amy and hugged her tightly.
I froze there, slowly sitting back down.
When did I stop being the first person she wanted to share her joy with?
"Sophia, who taught you that move? It was so perfect!" a teammate asked curiously.
"My daddy taught me!" Sophia said proudly.
"Tom really is talented. He was on the school team in high school." Amy said with a smile, her tone carrying a familiar intimacy.
How did she know Tom played soccer in high school?
When did they chat about these things?
Unease clawed at my throat like talons.
"Mommy, can we invite Coach Amy to have dinner at our house next time?" Sophia ran over, eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Something felt wrong.
But seeing my daughter's eager eyes, I still nodded.
"Of course, sweetheart."
My phone lit up—it was the "Soccer Moms" group chat.
The first message I saw made my blood freeze instantly.
【Lisa: Tom went to Amy's apartment again last night? They really need to be more careful, Jennifer's not stupid】
【Sara: Oh my God, Lisa. Jennifer's in this group, you sent it to the wrong chat, delete it quickly】
Lisa quickly recalled a message.
But it was too late.
My hands started shaking.
Last night. Tom said Peterson had another emergency meeting, that he needed to work late at the downtown office.
So he went to Amy's apartment.
The other mothers all knew. They knew where my husband spent the night, only I, his wife, didn't know.
How long had I been pitied behind my back by these women?
My trembling fingers clicked on Amy's social media.
The latest post was from last night.
【Perfect Friday night with my favorite person.】
The photo showed Amy lying on a bed in a sexy slip dress, a man's hand resting on her slender waist.
And the owner of that hand was my husband Tom, married to me for sixteen years.
I stared at the screen, my hands shaking violently, my breathing becoming rapid.
My phone slipped from my trembling hands.
I couldn't believe this was happening to me.
I remembered meeting Tom for the first time in the university library.
He picked up my dropped book and shyly asked if he could buy me coffee.
I remembered when he proposed, so nervous he could barely speak, almost dropping the ring.
I remembered our first year of marriage, eating instant noodles in our shabby little apartment, thinking it was the most romantic dinner in the world.
Because we loved each other.
But all those sweet memories became the cruelest irony in this moment.
Sixteen years.
A full sixteen years of marriage, and this is how I discovered my husband's affair.
"Mommy, you don't look good. Are you okay?" Sophia asked.
My voice trembled: "Just tired, sweetheart. Let's go home."
I had been living in lies, playing the perfect wife, while my entire life crumbled around me.
My dearest daughter—did she know? Was she helping them too? Those innocent dinner invitations, those special training sessions...
This realization hit me like lightning: I wasn't just losing my husband, I might lose my daughter too.
Sixteen years of marriage, ending on a Saturday afternoon.
And I was the last to know.

Pawn of the Starless God
Instead, a god found me.
One moment, I was bleeding beneath the neon glow of the city, my life slipping through my fingers. The next, a glowing blue screen appeared before my eyes, offering me a choice that was never really a choice at all.
Accept the Summoner’s Mark. Or die.
Now I belong to the Death Game — a brutal cosmic system where ordinary people are turned into Players, thrown into impossible missions, and forced to survive horrors designed for the amusement of gods.
Every trial has rules.
Every monster has a weakness.
Every victory comes with a reward.
And every reward makes me less human.
My name is Nerissa Valehart, and I refuse to be anyone’s pawn.
But surviving the Game means trusting the one man everyone warns me to fear.
Veyren Ashford is ruthless, powerful, and dangerously beautiful — a veteran Player with blood on his hands and secrets in his soul. He says attachment will get me killed. He says love is a weakness the Game always punishes.
Yet when death comes for me, Veyren is the one standing between us.
In a world where gods gamble with mortal lives, monsters hunt from the shadows, and desire may be the deadliest weakness of all, I have only one goal:
Survive long enough to cross the board.
And make the Starless God regret choosing me..............

The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...

Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha

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?

.
"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."
