Introduction
In my darkest hour, my first love, Lysander, reappeared; he covered the medical expenses, married me, and provided me with a home.
For five years, I believed I was the luckiest woman in the world.
Until that fateful day, four months into my pregnancy, when I overheard his conversation with a friend—
“To save Celeste, I thought... who knew it would lead to the death of Seraphina’s daughter?”
“As for Seraphina, she is a good wife, but alas... I do not love her.”
It turned out that my daughter’s death was no accident.
It was revealed that these five years of marriage were merely his quest for atonement.
The one he had always truly loved was Celeste—my ex-husband’s current wife.
As I lay on the operating table, I made a decision—
Since he had taken my daughter’s kidney, I would seize everything from him.
Including what he believed he would never lose: me.
Chapter 1
My daughter was critically ill, and my husband Marcus directly gave up treatment and threw himself into his ex-girlfriend Celeste's arms.
In my desperation, my husband's brother Lysander paid the medical fees and carefully accompanied me to care for my daughter.
But in the end, my daughter still couldn't escape death's grasp.
During those darkest days, Lysander remained by my side, and ultimately, we united in marriage.
Five years later, Lysander and I had our own child.
Until that party, when I overheard Lysander's conversation with his friend - my world completely collapsed.
...
"Lysander, what if what happened back then gets discovered?"
It was the voice of Lysander's good friend James.
What happened back then? I pressed tightly against the wall, my heartbeat beginning to accelerate.
"Back then you secretly transplanted Seraphina's daughter's kidney to Celeste. The surgery was successful, Celeste survived, but Seraphina's daughter died because of it. You even lied that she died from surgical complications..." James's voice was very low.
"When Celeste was critically ill back then, I thought transplanting one kidney shouldn't be a problem... Who could have known this would lead to Seraphina's daughter's death." Lysander's voice carried a trace of fatigue. "I married Seraphina to conceal the truth from her. Now that she is with child, she seems to have put the past behind her. Celeste is at ease, and so am I. This arrangement benefits us all. "
Only then did I realize that my daughter didn't die from surgical complications.
Lysander had secretly transplanted her kidney to Celeste.
I pressed tightly against the wall, my palm against the cold surface, feeling that chill spread all the way to my heart.
"Celeste has married Marcus and is now expecting a child. There is no possibility for the two of you anymore; it's time for you to embrace your own life." James paused briefly, then added, "Seraphina loves you deeply; she is a wonderful woman. You should cherish what you have now."
Lysander chuckled softly.
"I don't care about titles, as long as I can protect Celeste. As for Seraphina, she is indeed very good, a good wife, and will be a good mother, but unfortunately..."
He paused.
"Unfortunately, I don't love her."
Those five words stabbed into my chest like knives.
So these five years of feelings had all been Lysander's act. Everything he did was for Celeste, the woman he loved.
I bit my lower lip hard and tasted blood.
"Seraphina is quite pitiful, she's already lost one child. At least the child she's carrying now is yours, please treat her and the child well."
Lysander was silent for a while, seemingly lost in thought, then said, "I will."
I heard their footsteps gradually fade away before I dared to come out from behind the wall. My legs were weak, and I almost fell.
Five years ago, Lysander was like a savior sent from heaven.
At the time, I thought that was the last bit of warmth in my life.
But now I understand.
He never protected me, nor my daughter.
He was protecting that kidney that would soon belong to Celeste.
And his marrying me was also out of guilt.
Tears began to blur my vision.
I returned home in a daze.
As soon as I threw my bag on the sofa, Lysander wrapped his arms around my waist from behind.
"Where did you go?" he whispered in my ear, his hands beginning to roam restlessly over me.
My whole body stiffened, wanting to push him away.
"I'm tired."
"It's okay," he kissed my neck lightly, "I'll be gentle."
His touch made me nauseous. He had killed my daughter, and now he still wanted to touch me?
"Lysander, I'm pregnant, the doctor said we can't—"
"The doctor said after three months it's fine," he interrupted me, his hands already beginning to unbutton my clothes, "Baby, I miss you."
I suddenly broke free from his embrace and rushed to the bathroom to vomit.
Lysander frowned slightly, but still stepped back. "Alright, then get some rest early."
I watched his retreating figure, a wave of nausea rising in my heart.
After he went upstairs, I tremblingly dialed my brother's number.
"Brother, I regret it." My voice was choked with emotion, "I want to come home."
"Okay, I'll arrange a flight for you in five days. When you arrive, I'll pick you up." My brother's voice was firm and gentle.
I hung up the phone and wiped away my tears. When I turned around, Lysander was standing behind me.
"Who were you talking to on the phone?"
My heart was pounding in my chest. How long had he been standing there?

Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.

Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?
