In her previous life, Kathryn mistakenly trusted in Caylee and Edmund. As a result of her foolish naivete, her family was destroyed and she was burned alive. Now that she was reborn, she vowed to tear down their facade and see them for who they truly were. She would avenge the tragic ending of her previous life and cherish her perfect husband Willard, who was the only one who was there for her in her previous life. After getting married, she wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "With you, my life is perfect." "Really? What if you want to divorce me in the future?" "Never! In fact, let's make a baby tonight. From now on, if you dare to look at another woman, I'll break your legs."
It was summer, and the sun was scorching hot outside.
In a shabby room in Olisburgh, Kathryn Ramsey was awoken by a sharp pain. Her legs were broken, and she was being kept as a prisoner.
Suddenly, she heard the clicking of high heels come closer.
When she looked up, she saw a woman standing not far away. This woman's eyes were filled with an undisguised complacency and disgust.
"What a poor ugly woman," the woman scoffed haughtily. "Are you supposed to be my arrogant cousin?"
"Caylee Ramsey!" Kathryn shouted the woman's name through gritted teeth. Her eyes were aflame with anger as an intense urge to strangle Caylee overwhelmed her.
Caylee was Kathryn's cousin. She was also a home wrecker who had slept with Kathryn's husband.
"Watch your language! You should be calling me Mrs. Lambert from now on. After all, I'm going to marry Edmund soon."
Kathryn shot a cold stare at Caylee. "You will suffer for what you've done to me!"
Three years ago, her family house, the Ramsey Manor caught fire and was burnt to the ground.
Kathryn had been the popular upper-class lady in the city, but the fire disfigured her appearance and brought on many illnesses upon her.
As a disfigured divorcee, people distanced themselves from her.
When she was at her most desperate, it was Edmund Lambert who had given her the courage to continue living.
Then, down the line, the two of them got married.
However, it was all just an elaborate trap!
It turned out that Edmund had been with Kathryn's cousin, Caylee, for a long time already. The only reason why he married Kathryn was so he could get his hands on the remaining shares of her father's company, Ramsey Group.
In the end, the company was absorbed, and Kathryn's father died of a stroke.
They took everything away from her!
Caylee continued with a smirk, "Since you're about to die anyway, let me tell you a 'great' news. Back then, you were in danger and needed blood transfusion. However, only Willard's blood type matched. Unfortunately, his heart disease got worse at that time, and in order to donate blood to you, he had to cancel his surgery. So he ended up not getting the treatment he needed and died shortly after. So, don't expect him to come rescue you out of here."
As she heard Willard's name, Kathryn's eyes widened in shock.
Willard Ellsworth was Kathryn's first husband.
Because of his premature birth, Willard was born with a congenital heart disease. He was unsociable, domineering, and a bit moody. When they got married, they never experienced a peaceful day together. In each other's company, they were never happy.
At that time, Kathryn had allowed herself to be poisoned by Caylee's words and tried every means to divorce Willard.
Kathryn didn't want to be stuck in a loveless marriage, so she hung around with men day and night and had become a regular topic of gossip.
Unable to withstand his wife's frivolous behavior, Willard finally let her go and granted the divorce.
"No... No way! You're lying! He won't... He won't die..."
Even though Kathryn had treated him like that, Willard still saved her.
In the end, Kathryn became the reason why Willard died.
A look of anguish crossed her eyes as she began to regret everything that she had done. A dull pain began to spread in her heart. Suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Caylee retreated a bit, wary that Kathryn might stain her dress.
"Since you have no more will to live, I'll grant you your wish. I'll send you to hell, and there, you can be together with Willard!"
Soon, a fire lit the shabby room into a fiery orange light. Black smoke filled the air, making it hard for Kathryn to breathe.
She was in extreme agony. The pain rendered her delirious, and she wondered if it had been difficult for Willard to decide whether to transfuse his blood to her or not.
Slowly, Kathryn's consciousness began to fade. Her eyes were starting to close.
"Willard, I'm sorry. This is my punishment for what I've done to you," she murmured to herself.
--
The pain was too much to bear.
The world before Kathryn became blurry. Her head felt like it was being cracked open.
As her mind was on the brink of shutting down, she heard intermittent voices echo in her head.
"My cousin is the popular Kathryn Ramsey. Although she's married, she's still a virgin. So, Mr. Hudson, please be gentle to her later. All you have to do is impregnate her and make it look like she's being unfaithful to Willard."
As the words rang in her mind, Kathryn powered through and struggled to wake up from her coma.
Where was this place?
Wasn't she dead? How could she hear someone talking?
Suddenly, Kathryn was stunned!
This scene in front of her was completely consistent with a certain scene in her memory!
It was the third day after she and Willard got married.
Kathryn's father had arranged her to get married to Willard for business purposes. The entire time, Willard had treated her coldly.
So, in a fit of anger, Kathryn had gone to a bar and got drunk.
She got so wasted that Caylee brought Kathryn to a hotel. She poured Kathryn a glass of water to help her sober up.
After that, everything turned black. Kathryn had lost consciousness.
It was at midnight when a rogue entered her room.
But Edmund came in time and rescued her.
However, to her surprise, nude photos of her began circulating online the following morning.
The news headlines branded her as a slut overnight.
Now, it seemed that Kathryn had been given a second chance since she was transported back in time.
She couldn't repeat the same mistake this time around.
She wanted to change her miserable future and make Caylee and Edmund pay for everything that they had done to her!

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
