"I want a divorce." Three years into his marriage, Julian Shaw had decided. He was doing it without his wife's knowledge. The lawyer across the desk listened to his request, his voice a flat, professional drone. "For a divorce, both parties need to sign the agreement. After that, there's a mandatory one-month cooling-off period. Is your wife not here today?" Julian was silent for a few seconds. "I'll get her to sign." "Very well. I'll draft the agreement for you." After a short wait, Julian had the papers in hand. He walked downstairs, his head bowed, replaying the events of the last few weeks in his mind. Just as he reached the lobby, a familiar voice stopped him. "Julian? What are you doing at a law firm?" He looked up, his heart skipping a beat as he met Helena Locke's gaze—those sharp, intelligent eyes that seemed to see right through everything. Who would have guessed he'd come for a divorce consultation at the very firm where his own wife worked? But she wouldn't find out.

During the company meeting, Sloane Ramsey accidentally projected her home security feed for all the senior executives to see. In the video, her husband, Kaelen Thorne, was dressed in white monastic robes, a string of sandalwood prayer beads in his hand, looking as serene as a saint on his meditation cushion. The only thing shattering this sacred image was the woman whose head was buried between Kaelen’s thighs, her mouth working tirelessly. The once-buzzing conference room fell deathly silent. Sloane finished the meeting, her expression unchanged, then turned and filed her application for permanent residency in Switzerland. Kaelen, this time, I’m the one leaving you.

Can the dead come back to life? Kaia Storm never used to think so. But now, staring at the man at the head of the poker table, she wasn't so sure. He wore a black turtleneck, a cigarette held between his long, elegant fingers. Every movement was languid, yet carried an innate, condescending nobility that looked down on the world. But it was his face. It was identical to her boyfriend, Kaelan, who had died in a car crash five years ago. Someone across the table said something, and the man let out a low chuckle, casually tossing a chip into the pot. "Raise." His voice was a deep, rich baritone, with a polished, East Coast timber— It was like being struck by lightning. A violent shudder wracked Kaia's entire body. She would never forget that voice. In the five years since Kaelan's death, she had cried herself to sleep listening to recordings of it countless times. Just then, someone noticed her. "Who's the girl? Been standing in the doorway for a while now. Kaelan, don't tell me she's another one for you." Kaelan? Kaia’s heart seized. She watched as the man slowly, lazily, lifted his eyes to look at her. But his gaze was fleeting, a dismissive glance before he looked away. "Not mine."

This was the 100th time Sienna Ross had proposed to Julian Vance. And just like the 99 times before, his answer was still no. The reason was always the same. They were still young. He wasn't ready. Sienna didn't overthink it, but when she returned from the restroom, she happened to hear him talking with his friends. "Julian, man. Sienna’s a girl, and she’s proposed to you so many times. You’re still not saying yes?" He leaned casually against the railing, a cocky smirk on his lips that didn't reach his eyes. "She’s a freak in the sheets, but how could I ever marry that?" The group erupted in laughter. "Then why've you been sleeping with her for so long? Doesn't that just prove you like the freaky type?" His voice was cool, detached. "What man doesn't like a girl who’s wild in bed? But for a wife, you need a proper lady. Someone from the right family."

The winter of 1980 bit deeper than anyone expected. Caelen Rhodes trudged home through a blizzard, only to find the man who’d been sniffing around his wife asleep in his marital bed. That’s when he finally snapped. “Liana! We've been married for one goddamn month, and you let Julian Croft sleep in our bed? You think he isn't obsessed with you enough already?” Under the lamplight, Liana, clad in a black sweater, set down her book. She rose and walked toward him, her coolly beautiful face etched with disapproval. “Calm down. Julian was drunk, he didn't mean it. Don't be so dramatic.” “It’s just for one night. You’ve always been so understanding, can’t you just let this go?” A spike of ice shot through his heart. The hand she held felt like it was encased in frost. Caelen looked up at the serene woman in her gold-rimmed glasses. They’d grown up together. He’d always loved her thoughtfulness, her kindness toward others. But right now, it felt like a stone in his gut. He fought to control his breathing. Julian was the Croft family’s long-lost son, found and returned just six months ago. He knew perfectly well that Caelen and Liana were a couple, yet he constantly clung to her. They were all neighbors in the same development. For the sake of their parents, Caelen had turned a blind eye. But now…
