Nine months pregnant, and my husband was forcing me to take the fall for a murder his first love committed. “Chloe has depression,” he said. “She can’t go to prison. You’re pregnant. The judge will go easy on you.” Tears streamed down my face as I begged him. “Ryan, I’m due any day. Do you really want our child to be born in prison?” He sneered. “Stop pretending. I have low sperm motility. How could the bastard in your belly possibly be mine?” In court, I was taken into custody on the spot. At that exact moment, my water broke. Everyone urged him to get me to a hospital, but he stopped the ambulance himself and had me taken to prison instead. Inside the freezing prison van, my entire body shook with pain. With the last of my strength, I dialed a number. “Adrian, save me… save my baby…” *** I was nine months pregnant, and my husband, Ryan, wanted me to confess for his first love, Chloe. In the federal courthouse, the judge looked down at me, his expression cold. “Emma Wilson, do you admit that three months ago, you drove drunk and killed Victor Lane?” I gripped the defendant’s stand, my belly tightening in excruciating waves. It was my baby, kicking. As if pleading with me not to confess. But when I glanced toward the gallery, Ryan was bent over Chloe, tenderly wiping her tears. Chloe leaned against him, her fingers clutching the fabric of his suit jacket as her shoulders trembled. “Ryan, this is all my fault,” she sobbed. “If I weren’t so fragile, Emma wouldn’t have been forced into this.” “Maybe I should be the one to go to prison. My life isn’t worth anything, anyway.” Ryan’s brow furrowed, and he pulled her tighter into his arms. “Don’t say that. A place like prison would destroy you.” Then he looked up at me, his gaze like ice. “But if Emma goes, it’s fine. She’s already filthy, anyway.” A tidal wave of sorrow crashed over me. The judge didn’t know. The real killer was sitting in......

Three days before the wedding, my fiancé sold the house we'd spent three years building together. His crew exploded in the garage bar. "You've lost your goddamn mind, Derek. You sold the house because Tiffany wanted a purse? Does Savannah even know? Where's she supposed to live after the wedding—your pickup bed?" "Yeah, Savannah oversaw every inch of that renovation. She sanded and stained the wainscoting in the master bedroom herself. Planted every hydrangea in the garden. All of it, her work." Derek knocked back a glass of Blanton's, ice clanking against the glass with an impatient sound. "She loves me so much she almost died taking a knife for me. You really think she's gonna care about some beat-up house?" "Besides. She's always saying as long as she's with me, anywhere is home. Perfect time to see if she actually meant it." I stood in the hallway outside the tool room, a container of hangover soup from Whole Foods in my hand. Behind that door, not quite shut, his careless voice carried through. The hallway smelled like motor oil and old wood. I leaned against the cold drywall for a few seconds. Then I turned, still holding the cold soup, and walked out. The morning of the wedding, my phone buzzed like a death threat. Derek's photo flashed on the screen. "Savannah, where the hell are you? Jesus Christ, both families are in the church. Forty people waiting on you." I sat in a speeding Uber, watching the oak-lined street I knew with my eyes closed slide past the window. "I already signed the papers with someone else. I'm at home now." *** That house. A 1920s Colonial with a wide front porch and oak floors. From the first renovation sketch I ever drew, it took three full years of my life. Tiffany posted one tearful Instagram story. "I want this bag so bad, it's like starlight fell to earth." Derek turned my house into cash and bought her a Himalaya Birkin—Hermès's crown jewel. Two hundred fifty thousand dollars. Ne......

A strange bottle of potion came into my possession. Whoever drank it would fall in love with the person who gave it to them. I didn’t hesitate. I drank it myself. This time, I chose myself. I chose to love myself. See you tomorrow, Ophelia. ... In my last life. After Reed Pierce cheated on me, a bottle of potion somehow fell into my hands. It was a small, clear bottle filled with a shimmering blue liquid. A nearly illegible label clung to the glass: “Whoever drinks this water will fall in love with the person who gives it to them.” Back then, I saw it as my last chance. I pinned every last scrap of hope on it. The next morning, I poured the potion into Reed’s coffee. It worked quickly. He slowly pulled away from that woman and turned his attention back to me. He started remembering our anniversaries. He brought home flowers. At night, when he held me, he’d whisper the sweet things he hadn’t said in years. It was as if we had gone back to the beginning. Everyone thought Reed was deeply in love with me. Only I knew it wasn’t his choice. It was a love I had coerced. Every time he held me, every time he kissed me, the images of him with another woman would flash through my mind. When he murmured sweet nothings, I could only wonder if he had said the same things to her. Worse, I lived in constant fear. If he spoke to another woman for work. If his phone lit up with a notification. If anyone he’d once flirted with appeared in the same room. I would tense up. Was the potion wearing off? Was he going to leave me again? I became someone I barely recognized. The smallest thing could send me spiraling. If Reed zoned out for a few seconds, or if his reply lacked a certain warmth, I would obsess for hours over whether he’d stopped loving me. Then, I got pregnant. The happiness was fleeting, quickly crushed by a familiar dread. What if the potion finally wore of......

My daughter came home from her cub class and said to me, completely out of the blue, “Mommy, you should divorce Daddy.” I froze, the apron still in my hands. “Why?” Lily lifted her small, soft face to mine. “Because Daddy doesn’t love us,” she said quietly. “He only loves Ivan, and Ivan’s mom.” “You don’t say it, but I know.” “Last time, when Daddy got his year-end bonus, you wanted to sign me up for piano. But Aunt Vivian just had to cry, and Daddy sent all the money to her and Ivan instead.” “And on your birthday, Daddy had already ordered you that moonstone bracelet, but when Ivan threw a fit, he gave it to Vivian to make her feel better.” “He’s always kicking you out of the Blackwood pack-house group, too. Every single time, you have to beg him to add you back.” “If you’re only staying with him because of me, then… then I don’t want you to. I just want you to be happy.” I couldn’t hear the rest of what she said. The tears came first. The Blackwood pack-house group was the private chat for the Alpha's residence. His parents, his ex-wife, his heir—they were all in it. Even the housekeeper. Getting kicked out was a public declaration: you didn’t belong in the pack house. And I had been kicked out twenty-seven times. In five years of marriage, Adrian had never given me a claim mark, never acknowledged me as his Luna before the Moon Goddess. All I ever got was a placating, “Wait a little longer.” I had waited five years. That night, Lily ate the last roasted chicken leg—Ivan’s favorite—and Adrian kicked me out of the pack-house group for the twenty-eighth time. His message was cold. “When you’ve taught her to respect her elders and the future Alpha, I’ll add you back.” A few minutes later, Vivian posted a story, clearly timed for maximum effect. “Someone’s been living in the pack house for five years and still can’t hold her spot in the family chat. I wonder who?” I stared at the words, my stomach twis......
