On a bright and sunny winter day as Alyssa was staring out of the balcony window when her husband Noah Macari's Black Maybach pulled in the driveway. She was excited to see her Husband was home early so she ran down the stairs excitedly to greet her husband Noah when suddenly his sister Nancy Macari stepped out of the study in front of Alyssa and asked her "why was she was in a hurry"? Before Alyssa could speak the front door opened and Noah walked in with a indifferent look on his face as he looked at his wife Alyssa and then Nancy greeted her brother "Hello Noah, you're home early today". Noah greeted his sister with a smile and said "Grandpa Zach called me home early to prepare for a dinner party for a guest that arrived from abroad". Alyssa stood there without saying a word but confusion written all over her face. Nancy smiled at her brother and stepped aside so he could go up the stairs and get ready for dinner. Alyssa was not informed of this special guest from abroad and she felt the need to get some fresh air and walked out back to the Koi pond. Upstairs Noah Macari just came out of the shower and was getting dressed in a dark black suit with a nice dark gray undershirt made his dark hazel eyes shone and damp tousled black hair would make any woman stare in awe at him. Suddenly a loud shrieking scream comming from out back got everyones attention and everyone ran out back to see what what was going on. The Butler was pulling the beautiful actress Chloe, Noah's brother Braxton Macari's wife from the pond. Chloe was shivering from the cool winter breeze and being soaked from the water saying "Alyssa just tried to end my life why did she push me into the pond"? The maid was helping Alyssa out of the pond and didn't say a word. Alyssa looked up and saw Noah comforting Chloe his brother Braxton's wife and giving her his coat. While Noah was walking the hysterical Chloe inside to the warm mansion he quickly glared at his wife Alyssa and she stood there freezing and felt the maid ushering in go inside and warm up. Alyssa took a warm shower and when she got out Alyssa wrapped herself in her pink fleece bathrobe drying her hair on her way out to the bedroom to grab clothes from her closet. Noah was sitting on the bed and did not look her his wife in the eyes and said "old man Macari wants to see you in the study once you're dressed" then he stood up and walked out of the room. Alyssa looked at Noah's retreating back and said in a low voice "I didn't push Chloe into the pond". Noah stopped turned around and looked at Alyssa indifferently and turned back around and proceeded down the stairs. Once Alyssa was dressed in her warm pajamas she went down to the study to meet with old man Zach. When Alyssa walked into the study, old man Zach was sitting on a chair while Noah was standing near the doorway. Old man Zach Macari was furious and thew a book at Alyssa, which barely missed hitting her head and fell to the ground behind her. Old man Zach Macari yelled "I do not know why Noah married someone like you and who do you think you are throwing your brother in law's wife Chloe into a pond"? Old man Zach said to Alyssa "since you were never taught manners you will be taught in the Macari residence, you will kneel in this study until morning". Without another word old man Zach Macari opened the office window and let the winter breeze in and made the room cold with the breeze blowing in directly on Alyssa. Her pajamas did not keep the chill from reaching her skin she looked up at her husband Noah who did not say a word and suddenly the doorbell rang. Old man Zach said to Noah "our guest from abroad must be here let's welcome our guest and go eat" Noah walked out behind his grandpa without even glancing at his wife Alyssa and followed to greet their guest. When their butler opened the door stood a beautiful woman who was in her early 20's wearing a red haute couture dress, black coat, and her loose beach wave curls just screamed how she was from an influential family. Old man Zach greeted the woman "hello miss McCormick, long time no see". She stepped into the mansion and said to Zach "no need to address me so formally our family's have known each other a long time, just call me Nicole" with a bright smile. Nicole turned to Noah and went to give him a hug and said to him "long time no see and still as handsome as ever with a seductive laugh". Noah spoke to Nicole and said "long time no see miss McCormick". Nancy came running to the door and gasped and squealed "Nicole it's really you! It's been forever! Come let's eat dinner and let's catch up, I believe our cook as prepared someone your favorites from the past". Alyssa was kneeling in waiting for Noah to come and find out what happened, but he did not show up. Alyssa started to feel light headed and was shivering cold from the wind blowing in on her and her long wavy brunette hair was still damp from earlier and couldn't feel her knees she ended up passing out.

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.

"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage. We had been married for exactly three years-three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment. For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage. Today, I finally received his message: "I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport." When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me. But his cruelty was far worse than I could have ever imagined-he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and that woman was Carla, my closest and most trusted friend. In that moment, all of my previous excitement, all my hope, and all of our shared laughter and tears turned into the sharpest of daggers, stabbing into my heart and leaving me gasping for air. Now, all I want is to escape from this place that has left me so broken-to lick my wounds in solitude. Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again. He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end-almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be. "Aurora, come back. I regret everything!" Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me-only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!
