Introduction
He was kissing his fiancée.
But the name he moaned…
was not hers.
“Helena…”
Sebastian Vale—cold, arrogant CEO—had a perfect life, a perfect reputation, and a perfect woman on his arm.
So why was the name slipping from his lips in the dark…
the name of the quiet, desperate secretary he humiliates every day?
Helena didn’t take the job for ambition.
She took it because her little brother is dying.
And money is the only thing keeping him alive.

Every cruel order.
Every look from the boss who seems to hate her… and watch her a little too closely.
But Sebastian’s fiancée notices.
And in her world, threats don’t get warnings.
They get erased.
One night, Helena is drugged.
Set up.
Left to wake with fragments of memory and a nightmare she can’t prove.
By morning, a humiliating video of her is sent to the entire company.
Her reputation is destroyed.
Her job is over.
Her life—almost gone.
And Sebastian must finally face the truth.
The woman he tried to deny…
is the only one he can’t stop wanting.
Chapter 1
"This is ridiculous!" shouted the youngest son of the important Aller family to the lawyer and his older brother, Sebastian Aller, who was smiling pleased at the new news while watching his brother turn red with anger.
"I'm sorry little brother, but these are the last words of our dear and deceased father." he teased.
"But this can't be true! Dad was crazy if he thought it was a good idea to leave you in his place," he protested. "You're useless! You spend all our money on women, alcohol, and luxury cars. You have no idea how to manage a company! I should be the one in that position!" He shouted, hitting the glass table in the lawyer's office.
Sebastian, the eldest son, and new heir to over half of the wealth his father had acquired with his technological company, smiled, amused, without saying anything, knowing he had won this battle. He didn't care if his brother cried and stomped, he wouldn't give him a cent more.
"I'm sorry Mr. Aller," the scared lawyer responded to Alan, "But those are your father's wishes, 35 percent of the income for you and 65 percent for your brother Sebastian and the position left vacant by the late Mr. Aller." He said, reviewing the documents.
"See little brother? Father knew who was the most competent of the two," he said, widening his smile and showing his shining and sparkling teeth that looked like ivory.
"There is one more thing," the thin and scrawny man said fearfully, looking like an insect next to the two Adonises in front of him.
"What is it?" asked the older brother, wanting to leave as soon as possible, hating meetings and paperwork, and simply getting bored. He couldn't wait to have everything in his power and wallet.
"In order to claim the inheritance and maintain the position of CEO of Aller Industries, you must marry the woman your father agreed to in the will. He firmly believed in family and customs, he didn't want to leave a bad image for his company. "
Both brothers were stunned, but more so Sebastian, who had never been a one-woman man and had no plans to be tied down in an arranged marriage with an unbearable and capricious woman who would surely make him miserable.
"This is getting interesting," Alan exclaimed, amused, knowing his brother wouldn't be able to accept that clause.
"Shut up," growled the older brother.
"If this does not happen, Mr. Alan will inherit the position and the majority of the profits."
"Enough of gossip and tell me right away who will be the woman lucky enough to marry me." Alan rolled his eyes, the lawyer grabbed the will and read aloud:
"Miss Katlyn Walker, heiress and owner of the largest cosmetics company in Europe."
Both brothers were stunned to hear the name of Sebastian's fiancée. For Sebastian, now it wasn't such a bad idea to get married; that woman slept on euro mattresses; if he combined his wealth with hers, he would be disgustingly rich, and he would have no limits. He thought, savoring and imagining his new acquisitions for when he was married. But Alan, who thought his brother would finally receive the punishment he deserved, now wanted to murder him. Because he knew perfectly well who that woman was, he had loved her since he could remember and had imagined to propose to her once his father was dead and with the power in his hands. But now his brother would take her away, the woman of his dreams! He couldn't allow that idiot to lay a hand on a woman as beautiful and prestigious as her.
Alan stood up abruptly from the meeting table, throwing the chair with force.
"Where are you going little brother?," Sebastian asked with an unbearable and irritating tone.
"I have nothing else to do here. Enjoy your wealth, brother. I hope life gives you what you deserve."
"I hope the same little brother," said Sebastian.
Alan left the office, slamming the door shut.
"Take care of all the paperwork and the engagement," Sebastian ordered the lawyer, "I must go organize my new office." He smiled victoriously. In the end, that arrogant and narcissistic old man had been good at something. He said to himself, thinking of his father whom he had never stood in life.
"Thank you for taking care of him. Seriously, the nanny didn't want to come because it was without notice..."
"It's okay Hele, don't worry. And go quickly, you won't make it to the interview." Helena De Luna smiled at her best and only friend, David; she didn't know how to thank him for accepting to take care of her little brother at the last minute.
Since her father had died from a serious illness, they had been alone against the world. Lucas had become a son to Helena, but it had also been very difficult for her to take this responsibility because the little boy was very delicate and got sick regularly, having to run to the hospital several times a month and leaving huge bills that she had no idea when she would be able to pay. But today she had a glimmer of hope because she had found online that they were looking for a new secretary for the new CEO of a technological company she had no idea about, but it seemed to offer good pay, and she really needed the money.
"Thank you, David, thank you!" She said jumping on him and hugging him tightly. The young man laughed at his friend's childish attitude, but enjoying the hug, he then let go, although he really didn't want to.
"Hurry up," he ordered with a smile. Helena kissed her little brother on the forehead, who was on the floor playing with his old toys.
"Be good with David, okay? I'll be back in a while." The boy nodded without stopping playing.
"Call me if you need anything," she told her friend before leaving.
"Yes, yes, just go already!" said David.
Helena smiled at him and ran out of her tiny studio apartment in the city center. The young woman was running with her heart in her throat; the bus had taken longer than expected to arrive, and she was arriving just in time. She spotted the large building with thousands of windows and many floors across the street with a big illuminated sign that said "ALLER INDUSTRIES S.A.". She crossed the street, but as she had always been a clumsy and distracted woman, her ankle twisted because she was not used to high-heeled shoes, and she fell on all fours on the hard street cement, scraping her knee and staining her resume with dirty water.
"Damn it!" she shook the paper that was now ruined and unpresentable. She tried to get up sore when she heard the grinding of wheels. Everything happened very fast; she saw a high-end black vehicle approaching her at great speed, and it seemed it wouldn't be able to stop. Helena did nothing but close her eyes tightly and think that her little brother wanted her without anyone in this world.

I Loved You in Silence, You Betrayed Me in French
At my birthday party, my husband whispered to his mistress in French that he missed her. His voice was low, but I heard it all—the black lingerie, the bit about how pregnancy makes you more sensitive. His French clients around us were laughing. He turned and put his arm around me, claiming he was just helping his clients come up with sweet nothings.
He doesn't know I understand every single word. Just like he doesn't know that inside my body, I'm carrying his other surprise. And his mistress—she's pregnant too. Two wombs, one secret.
Confrontation would be too cheap. Tears are worthless. I quietly started cataloging the hidden networks my father left behind, activating the Swiss accounts.
In seven days, Zoey Smith will cease to exist. And what will my husband's reaction be?
When I Disappeared, He Regretted It
The moment the screen lit up, my entire world came crashing down.
The woman on the bed was Calista - that girl who grew up with us since we were kids. And that hand caressing her skin was wearing the wedding ring I had personally put on Matteo's finger.
"I've missed you so much..."
"You drive me crazy, baby..."
Those sweet words I knew so well completely destroyed me.
Everyone said we were the perfect couple, but who knew this marriage was built on nothing but lies?
Since he's so good at acting, I guess it's time I gave him a show of my own. I'm going to make sure everyone sees what this "perfect husband" really is...
The Family Sacrifice
I simply said one word: "Okay."
My parents and Gilbert were stunned. They rushed to have me sign the voluntary donation form, afraid I’d change my mind.
Some days later, they sent me to the operating room.
Dad said, "Yvonne will finally be saved. We're so proud of you."
Mom said, "After the surgery, we'll make it up to you."
Gilbert looked tenderly at Yvonne and said, "When you're better, where should we travel?"
What they didn't know was that the day I agreed, I'd just received my diagnosis, stage four cancer. Three months to live.
As I lay on the cold operating table, as the anesthesia began to take effect, I only wanted to know one thing:
If I die on this operating table, will they regret it?
He Never Loved Me, Until I Left
I put away the divorce agreement with a wry smile.
When he and my son completely disappeared, he finally panicked.
Three months later .
He knelt down on the streets of Chicago in despair, begging me to remarry him.
My six-year-old son looked coldly at his biological father and said, "Get lost, you bad uncle! You don't deserve to be my dad!"
He Thought I'd Never Leave
When he said he was being bullied, I believed him. When he kissed me on that rooftop, I thought he felt the same. When he asked me to transfer schools with him, I said yes without hesitation.
Then I heard him bragging to his friends: "She'd save her first time for me. Hell, she'd still be thinking of me on her wedding night."
The bullying was staged. The kiss meant nothing. He just wanted me gone—so his new girl could feel more comfortable.
He thought I'd beg. He thought I'd cry. He thought I'd never actually leave.
I left the country.
And ran straight into his stepbrother.
I Died While They Threw Her a Party
Their real daughter came home. She'd only been back two years. That's all it took to erase twenty-four.
When kidnappers grabbed us, I used my body as a shield. They beat me until something inside me ruptured. I was dying from internal bleeding, but no one could tell.
My parents wouldn't even look at me. "This is your fault! None of this would've happened if it weren't for you!"
"Get downstairs and apologize to your sister. If you can't, pack your things and get out."
They threw her a party at a downtown hotel while I died alone in my room.
I thought they'd be relieved. Maybe even glad. I thought they'd just move on like I never existed.
But when they finally learned the truth, they fell apart.
Bury Me in His Regret
The kidnapper pressed the gun to my temple and asked, "Choose your wife or your sister-in-law?"
Zachary didn't hesitate. "Let Valerie go," he said.
He actually chose to save his sister-in-law! In that moment, even the baby in my belly seemed to stop kicking.
Later, they locked me in the basement. Drugs to delay labor were pumped into my veins over and over. Zachary wanted to save the "firstborn son" status for his sister-in-law's child.
When warm blood finally soaked through my skirt, I dialed the number I knew by heart with shaking hands.
"Zachary," I whispered into the phone, "our child... can't wait any longer."
The Kidney That Killed Me
A few months ago, my sister was hospitalized with kidney failure. The doctor said she needed a transplant. My family's first thought was me—the backup daughter they'd kept around all these years.
When my husband Allen took my hand with tears in his eyes and said, "Only you can save her," I agreed without hesitation.
When the doctor explained the surgical risks and potential complications, I smiled and nodded my understanding.
My parents said I'd finally learned what sisterly love meant.
Even Allen, who'd always been cold to me, held my hand gently and said, "The surgery's safe. You're so healthy, nothing will go wrong. When you recover, I'll take you to Hawaii."
But they don't know that no matter how the surgery goes, I won't be around to celebrate.
Because I just got my own test results—I have terminal brain cancer. I'm going to die anyway.

From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
