Chapter 1
She fixed her shoe laces and grabbed her backpack from the bed then hurried towards the door. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
Her Uncle was transferred to Manhattan few days ago from Houston and she was to start a new school at the prestigious Riverside highschool and she was nervous.
Who the fuck won't be nervous in such a situation?
She inhaled and exhaled harshly and nodded her head.
You can do this Cath, you can do it.
She opened her eyes and wrapped her hand around the door knob then pulled it open. She jumped back in fright when she saw Vivian, her uncle's wife standing in front of her door.
Vivian never like her and the same could be said about Catherine. Maybe at some point she truly did like Vivian but when she started getting to know her she couldn't help but get disgusted by the mere sight of her.
"What are you staring at? It is 8:10 a.m! Your first day in school and you're already late!" Vivian bellowed and swung her hands towards Catherine but she was quick to step back and dodged past her then ran downstairs.
"You better get back early and dye my hair or you're a dead meat." Vivian screamed after her and she rolled her eyes.
When she got to about ten blocks away from the house, she let out a sigh of relief.
What a terrible woman.
She walked towards the bus stop and waited for a bus to pass by.
Few minutes later she walked through the school gate, she was stunned at what she saw. She was short of words as her eyes took in the expensive cars packed at the school compound.
How could high schoolers afford such expensive whips? Ranging from Mercedes Benz to Lamborghinis. She was enamored.
She was still staring around her while making her way to the main building.
The school was nothing like her former school.
Riverside highschool looks like a stadium. It was so big and the compound was very large.
Why would her uncle Alex send her to such a school?
Something doesn't seem right.
He doesn't care about her. He sees her as a burden so why on Earth would he bother sending her to such an expensive school? She wasn't complaining. She was even thankful that he hasn't throw her out yet.
When she got to the main building she wasted some times searching for the principal's office and after a while she found it.
"Good morning, Sir." She greeted, the man looked up from his computer and nodded his head at her.
"A transferred student, Catherine Meyers." She introduced herself, the principal stood up from his chair and smiled widely at her.
"It's so nice to have you here with us, Miss Meyers."
She walked out of the principal's office and glanced down at her uniform, a short yoke skirt and a white shirt with a black red tie and a black jacket. She was also holding a bag containing a spare school uniform.
More beautiful than her previous school's uniform.
She glanced down at the map in her hand and started walking to the direction of her classroom.
She walked through the door and noticed the teacher's voice died down, raising her head up she could see the students watching her. She quickly looked down and fixed her eyes on the ground.
She was shy.
"Miss Meyers, please find a seat for yourself." The teacher said to her, she quickly nodded her head and glanced around the room, she saw a vacant seat and quietly sat down on it.
She unzipped her backpack and brought out a book and a pen then zipped it back and placed it at the back of her chair.
"Hi," a voice whispered to her, I glanced around and her eyes came in contact with that of a brunette. Pointed nose and a full pink lips.
She looked so beautiful.
"Hi," she responded.
"I am Talia, Talia Scott. What is your name?"
"Catherine Meyers,"
"Well Catherine, nice to meet you." She nodded her head and turned back to face the teacher whose eyes were fixed on her and Talia.
"Miss Meyers, I don't tolerate tardiness in my class." She reprimanded her, Catherine blushed and sneakily pushed a strand of her natural golden hair behind her ear.
First day in school and the teacher was already reprimanding her. This will be a whole lotta ride.
The door was pulled open as another person walked inside the class and she could hear the students gasped, she turned around to see what they saw and was starstruck.
Two teenage boys walked inside the class like they own the school, they were both...oh shit! Both dead handsome. She couldn't even look away from them, especially the first one, he had a rough look to himself, his hair was wild and he carried himself like a king.
When she was about to look away he raised his head up and his eyes met hers.
She gasped and her face heated up.
She looked away and inwardly cursed herself.
He saw her staring at him, shit!
She slowly look back and their eyes met again, he was still watching her.
Oh God.
Talia pinched her thigh and she whipped her head around to face her.
"Don't." She whispered.
"What?"
"Don't look at him, don't give yourself away."
"I don't understand what you are saying, don't look at who?" Catherine asked frustratedly.
"Don't look at Ace, you'll be sorry if you grab his attention." She whispered.
Ace.
So his name is Ace.
"I wasn't looking," she lied, Talia shrugged casually and bite on her lips.
"They are of no good, Ace and Liam. Stay away from them."
English class ended and Talia grabbed her backpack.
"Which class do you have next?" She inquired.
"Chemistry practical,"
"The next one hour is ours, come let me show you around,"
Catherine grabbed her backpack and joined Talia and the other students walking out of the class.
"So this is the football field, Riverside high school is very good." Talia said as they walked past the football field, she had shown Catherine the basketball court, the swimming pool and the cafeteria.
The school was amazing, she has never seen anything like that before.
"I feel pressed, I need to pee."
"Oh shit! Quickly go to the restroom before anyone come there, it is the boys restroom." Talia said and nudged her ahead. Catherine practically raced to the bathroom and slammed the door shut, after easing herself a soft sigh left her lips.
She stood up from the toilet seat and walked towards the basin to wash her hands. After a while she walked out of the restroom and saw Ace standing in a corner, a few steps away from her.
Her heart started racing and her mind trying to process why he was there.
When he noticed her presence, he started walking towards her.
With some seconds he was already in front of her and grabbed her by her neck.
Catherine gasped and her eyes widened. She placed her hands on his, trying to pull them off but he didn't move. Tears clouded her eyes and she batted her eyes lashes.
"What..... What are you doing?" She coughed out.
"You are for me." He sneered.
What? For him?

On Christmas Eve night, my husband brought his mistress home and demanded that I, his pregnant wife, leave with nothing.
On this day, I lost my husband and also lost the child in my womb...
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?
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!"
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...
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.

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."

My stomach twisted, but he wasn’t finished.
"You're just a pathetic little human," Zayn said, his words deliberate, each one hitting like a slap. "Spreading your legs for the first guy who bothers to notice you."
Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
I was so, so stupid.
