“Chantelle Bently, you’re a murderer! Why are you still alive? You should have been the one to die!”

Daniel shoved her away with anger, his face as dark and empty as the black suit he wore.

Chantelle was caught off guard and lost her balance, falling hard onto her pregnant belly. 

The pain was unbearable, and she cried out as her body trembled.

Chantelle shook her head desperately. “I told you, it wasn’t me! It was Kate!”

In a trembling voice, she pleaded, “Daniel, how many times do I have to say this before you believe me? I didn’t betray your family or the Wilson Group Of Companies, and I didn’t cause your grandfather’s death.”

Anger and resentment appeared in Daniel’s eyes as he threw the divorce settlement in Chantelle’s face. “Sign this now! From this day forward, I’ll make you pay a thousand times for everything you’ve done!”

The sight of the document struck Chantelle like a dagger to her heart. 

Her whole body froze as if she had been cast into the icy wastelands of Hell.

Her twin sister framed her, and her perfect family was destroyed on Christmas Eve.

Things got worse when her husband handed her a divorce agreement. A month later, rumors spread that she had died in prison from depression.

Six years later, she returned with a new face to take her revenge. She was beautiful but dangerous.

Daniel felt both devastated and irritated when he saw the mysterious woman. She had the same name as his dead ex-wife, whom he hated most and the one he believed was responsible for his grandfather’s death. 

Despite his anger, he couldn’t deny the strong attraction he felt toward her.

In fact, he was fatally obsessed and addicted to her, and the anger that had controlled him for six years slowly started to crumble.

Chantelle's mind was filled with questions. She even wondered if she was dreaming.

It had to be a dream. How else could Daniel, the man who once wanted her dead, hold her hand so gently and not let go, even in his sleep?

Lost in thought, she drifted back to sleep.

When she woke up again, she was back at Western Hill Villa.

Calvin sat nearby, looking worried. His eyes were bloodshot, and it was clear he hadn't slept all night.

Russell's hair was a mess, and dark circles shadowed his eyes.

Anyone unaware might think something terrible had happened between them last night.

Chantelle sat up, noticing their intense stares.

"When did you get back, Ms. Chantelle?"

"Yeah, boss. What's going on here?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Chantelle looked confused.
