On our wedding day, my fiancé ran away with another woman, leaving me as the abandoned bride and the laughingstock of everyone...

In the seventh year of her marriage, her husband’s ex girlfriend was diagnosed with a terminal illness.

To make up for his regrets, he took the woman traveling across mountains and seas, celebrated her birthday, stole his mother’s final painting for her, and forced his wife to hand over the token of their love.

He even took wedding photos with his ex and made vows with her in a church.
A lifetime together. Never to be apart.

In seven years of marriage, she had never seen her husband so gentle and attentive.

Even their own daughter wrapped her arms around the ex girlfriend’s waist and said reluctantly,
“She is prettier than Mom and more talented too. Why can’t she be my mom?”

“Mom, I wish you were dead!”

At last, she chose to let them have what they wanted.

Leaving behind a divorce agreement, she walked away without looking back.

“I was wrong. Please come back.”
“Mom… please don’t abandon me…”

She stood beneath the porch when a tall, noble man pulled her into his arms and kissed her until she could barely breathe.

Smiling faintly, he rolled up his shirt sleeves.

“Sir, if you keep coveting my wife, don’t blame me for being rude.”

"I'm leaving," she said turning her back towards him.
"Who said you can leave? Mrs. Sabarwal?"

"You're so cheap. And you don't even have a basic sense of shame."
"I am not cheap at all. You are my first man. But for her, you aren't."
He cupped my neck with his hand directly and asked word by word, "What did you say?"
I reached out and pinched his waist gently with my fingers, pretending to be cynical. Then I added, "And I'm clean. I don't have any other man but you. You can enjoy me as much as you want."

Alessio Moretti, the charismatic and lethal heir to the clan, isn’t just her biggest obstacle… he’s also the darkest temptation she’s ever faced.

He doesn’t give warnings.

And others… in fire.

I am a whore. My purpose is deception—to betray the devoted husband who cherishes me, to offer myself to strangers. But my life wasn’t always this way.
I once had a respectable career, a loving marriage. We were planning for a child.
Then Alex destroyed it all.
He arranged my gang rape, filmed my humiliation, and used my husband, my family, my reputation to break me completely.
But fate had a cruel twist.
My defiance changed him.
The man who once held all the power now kneels at my feet, weeping, pleading:
“Grace, please… forgive me.”

"You want my forgiveness?" he asked, my voice dropping to a dangerous timbre.

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...

Betrayed and murdered by my fiancé and my best friend, I’ve been given a second chance.
