The bustling streets of Accra were alive with the usual midday rush. The sun hung high in the sky, casting long shadows that danced across the pavement. Among the throngs of people, Adaora Okoro walked with purpose, her heels clicking against the concrete as she navigated her way through the crowd. She had just finished an important meeting at her advertising firm, and the adrenaline was still coursing through her veins. With a promotion on the horizon, her focus had been laser-sharp, every detail meticulously planned. But as she reached the corner of Labone Street, a gust of wind caught her off guard, sending papers flying from her hands.

Marriet stood at the entrance of her small flower shop, Heartfelt Roses, watching the early morning sun cast a warm glow over the sleepy town. The shop was her sanctuary, a place where she could escape the chaos of the world and find solace in the delicate petals and fragrant blooms. She had always had a passion for flowers, and opening her own shop had been a dream come true.

In the kingdom of Radiance, the sun always shone brightly, casting golden hues across the land. Lush fields of emerald green stretched as far as the eye could see, dotted with vibrant wildflowers that danced in the gentle breeze. The air was filled with the sounds of chirping birds and the laughter of children playing in the streets. Radiance was a land blessed with perpetual daylight, where shadows were almost non-existent, and darkness was but a myth told to frighten children.

The town of Eldermist had always been cloaked in a veil of mystery. Nestled deep within the heart of the Whispering Forest, it was a place where secrets were as ancient as the trees that surrounded it. The townspeople spoke in hushed tones about the forest, passing down tales of its eerie inhabitants and the strange occurrences that plagued anyone who dared venture too far into its depths. Yet, despite these warnings, curiosity often got the better of some.

In a small, remote village nestled between towering mountains and dense forests, there existed a garden unlike any other. Hidden behind a veil of mist and shadow, it was known only to a few as the Garden of Sorrow. It was said that the flowers in this garden were not like ordinary blossoms; they thrived on the sadness and despair of those who entered.

In a serene corner of the world, far removed from the clamor of human life, lay a forest known as the Whispering Woods. This forest was no ordinary collection of trees and animals; it was a place of magic and mystery, where every leaf seemed to murmur secrets of the past and every breeze carried tales of enchantment. The animals that inhabited the Whispering Woods lived in harmony, bound by the forest's ancient and sacred rhythms.

On my wedding night, I made a vow to Liam Gallo, the most feared man in New York. "If you ever betray me," I whispered, "I will vanish from your life as if I never existed." He laughed, thinking it was a romantic promise. It was an oath. Three years later, I discovered his betrayal. It wasn't just an affair; it was a public humiliation. His mistress, Ava, sent me photos of herself in my places, wearing jewelry he'd given me, taunting me with her presence in my life. And Liam let her. The final blow came at our Hamptons estate. I saw them together, Liam and a triumphant, pregnant Ava, in front of his inner circle. He was choosing her, his pregnant mistress, over his injured wife, demanding I apologize for upsetting her. In my own home, I was an obstacle. In my own marriage, I was a prop. The love I clung to for years finally died. Ava's texts confirmed it all, including a picture of an ultrasound captioned "Our baby," and another of her wearing the necklace he named "Maya's Dawn." So, on the morning after our anniversary party, I enacted my plan. I liquidated my assets, bulldozed the garden he planted for me, and served him divorce papers. Then, with a new identity, I walked out of the service exit and disappeared into the city, leaving the man who broke his vows to the wreckage of the life he destroyed.

"It was just one night stand, and now I'm pregnant with triplets? Gosh!" Josephine Jade never thought that she would have to run away from her own family while pregnant.

However, Josephine couldn't give up now, until she managed to reclaim her arbitrarily seized property and get back at everyone who tried to get rid of her. A sick child, a past crush that comes back, a mysterious eccentric man, and a family that hates her, will weave together the journey of Josephine Jade's new life.

Seven years ago, my fiancé, Don Dante Moretti, sent me to prison to take the fall for my adopted sister, Chiara. He called it a gift—a way to protect me from a worse fate. Today, he picked me up from prison only to abandon me at my family's estate. His reason? Chiara was having another one of her "episodes." My parents then informed me I'd be staying in the third-floor storage room, so as not to disturb the fragile girl who stole my life. They celebrated her "recovery" with a lavish dinner party, while I was treated like a ghost. When I refused to join, my mother hissed that I was ungrateful, and my father called me jealous. They assumed I couldn't understand their venomous whispers. But prison was my university. I learned Spanish. I understood every word. It was then I realized I wasn't just a sacrifice; I was disposable. The love I once felt for all of them had turned to ash. That night, in the dusty storage room, I logged onto an encrypted channel I'd set up years ago. A single message was waiting: "The offer stands. Do you accept?" My hands, scarred and steady, typed back, "I accept."

For five years, I lived a beautiful lie. I was Aliana Hughes, the cherished wife of the city's most feared Mafia Capo and the beloved daughter of the Don. I believed my arranged marriage had blossomed into love. On my birthday, my husband promised me the amusement park. Instead, I found him there with his other family, celebrating the fifth birthday of the son I never knew he had. I overheard their plan. My husband called me a "naive fool," a placeholder to legitimize his secret son. The ultimate betrayal wasn't his affair, but the sight of my own father's car parked across the street. My family wasn't just aware; they were the architects of my ruin. Back home, I found the proof: a secret photo album of my husband's other family posing with my parents, and records showing my father had bankrolled the entire deception. They had even drugged me on weekends so he could play happy family. The grief didn't break me. It turned into something cold and sharp. I was a ghost in a life that was never mine, and a ghost has nothing to lose. I copied every damning file onto a USB drive. As they celebrated their perfect day, I sent a courier with my parting gift: a recording of their treachery. While their world burned, I walked toward the airport, ready to erase myself and start over.

She was hunting monsters. She never expected to fall into bed with one. When fearless journalist Ava Monroe goes undercover to investigate a string of brutal killings in Chicago, all signs point to the Moretti Mafia-powerful, untouchable, and feared.

I was sold to pay off my father's debt. But instead of freedom, I found myself owned by a monster in a suit. Emilia never expected her life to be torn apart overnight.

He doesn't need her love, just her obedience. But Emilia isn't prepared for the way his eyes burn when someone else touches her.

As secrets unravel and blood debts resurface, Emilia must decide: is Lucien her captor... or her only chance at survival? In a world of betrayal and danger, she was sold to the devil.
