When my so-called plagiarism scandal broke,the entire industry turned against me. The whole world believed I had stolen from Eugenia,but in truth,she was the thief. And for her,they decided to destroy me. I was dragged into an abandoned warehouse,my body hitting the cold concrete floor. A dozen crazed fans jeered around me. "You're a fraud!" "You don’t deserve to sing ever again!" The first blow shattered my kneecap. I screamed,my voice breaking. Then came my hands—one by one,my fingers snapped. A sharp blade slashed across my throat. My vision blurred as warm blood poured down my chest. No…my voice… Then—darkness. I woke to the sterile scent of disinfectant and the steady beeping of machines.My throat burned,my limbs felt like dead weight. A familiar voice broke through the haze.“Janette…you’re awake.” Luca. I turned my head slowly. He sat beside me,eyes red-rimmed,fingers gently holding mine. His touch was warm,cautious,as if afraid I would break again. “Luca…”My voice—no,the faint breath leaving my throat—was barely audible. His body tensed.“Don’t try to talk.You’ve been through too much.” I blinked,attempting to lift my hand,but it barely twitched.Then I felt it—a weight in my abdomen. No…my baby… My breathing quickened,panic setting in. Luca immediately placed his palm gently over my stomach.“It’s okay,Janette.The baby is fine.You’re eight months now.” I exhaled shakily,fingers clutching his sleeve.“They…they did this to me.” Luca’s jaw clenched.“I know.I tried to stop them,but—” I narrowed my eyes at him.“But you couldn’t,could you?” Luca lowered his head,pain flickering in his eyes.“Janette,I tried…but I have no power to change their decisions.” I let out a weak,bitter laugh.“No power?When they decided to sacrifice me and my child,you just stood by and watched?” Luca flinched as if stabbed.“No!I fought for you!I begged them,but they wouldn’t listen…” “So you gave up?”I stared at him,my gaze cold.“Luca,you’ve always been like this…weak,spineless.You knew they would hurt me,and you did nothing.” Luca’s breath hitched,his fingers trembling as they tightened around mine.“Janette,I really—” The door burst open. “Janette.” Eugenia. She walked in,dressed in soft pastels,her expression full of fake concern.“I’m so glad you’re awake.You gave us such a scare.” I tried to sit up,but my body refused.I could only glare at her.“You…stole everything.” She sighed.“You’re still on that?Janette,I don’t want to argue.You need to focus on recovering.” I forced my fingers into a fist.“Get out.” Eugenia didn’t move.Instead,she glanced at my stomach,then at Luca.“You should listen to what Mother and Father have decided.It’s for the best.” Luca stiffened.“Eugenia,don’t—” “Your umbilical cord blood,Janette.I need it.” Everything inside me froze. “You’re insane.”Luca snapped.“She barely survived!And you think—” “She’s my sister,”Eugenia cut him off smoothly.“If she really cares,she’ll do this for me.” I looked at her,then at the doorway where my mother and father now stood,silent but expectant. Luca clenched his jaw,his voice shaking.“Janette owes you nothing!” Father stepped forward,his gaze cold.“She has no choice.” Luca turned to me,desperation in his eyes.“Janette,you can’t let them do this to you…” I let out a soft,hollow laugh,my gaze icy.“Luca,if you really want to help me,stop them.” Luca’s lips trembled,pain flooding his expression. He opened his mouth,but no words came out. Then,finally,he lowered his head. “I…I can’t…” I closed my eyes,my heart sinking into a frozen abyss. Then— A deep,commanding voice filled the room.“Touch her,and I will end you all.” The air shifted.Dominance,raw power,and something primal rolled into the space. Dominic Blackwood. The Alpha. The man who ruled the industry’s underbelly with an iron grip. He stood in the doorway,golden eyes burning with fury. Eugenia’s smug expression finally faltered.“W-What are you doing here?” Dominic stepped forward,his eyes locking onto me.“Taking what’s mine.” Mine? He reached out,tracing a gloved finger along my broken hand.“You’re my Mate,Janette.They don’t deserve you.” My heart pounded. Luca stepped between us.“She’s not some prize to claim,Blackwood.” Dominic’s gaze flicked to him.“Then why are you still too weak to protect her?” Luca stiffened,fists clenching.“I did everything I could—” “And yet,here she lies,broken.” Silence. My throat ached,my chest tightened. Dominic turned back to me,his expression softening.“Janette,come with me.” My mother gasped.“You can’t take her!She belongs here!” He smirked.“She belonged to you.But you threw her away.” Luca looked at me,desperation in his gaze.“Janette,please…” I stared at them all—the family that had betrayed me,the man who had always been by my side,and the Alpha who now stood between me and my past. Then I did something none of them expected. I reached out—and took Dominic’s hand.
When I was taken to an unfamiliar room,exhaustion and pain consumed me. I still couldn't believe that Luca had left me like that. But the reality was,he was gone.He had abandoned me and our child. The air in the room was clean,carrying a faint scent of herbs. I lifted my head and saw a woman in a white coat mixing some medicine. She turned around,her brown eyes soft yet observant. “I am Irene,the Pack Doctor.”She spoke gently,walking toward me with a vial in her hand.“You need to rest.Your body is too weak.” I opened my mouth,but my throat was too dry to form words. She handed me a glass of water,and I forced myself to take a sip. “My baby…”I murmured,my hand slowly moving to my stomach. Irene’s eyes flickered with sympathy.“The baby is still stable,but you must stay calm.Otherwise,it could lead to premature labor.” My heart clenched.Stay calm?In this situation,how could I possibly stay calm? Just then,the door suddenly swung open,and Luca appeared in the doorway. His face was pale,his expression a mix of guilt and helplessness. “Janette…” My fingers trembled,gripping the bedsheet tightly.“You still dare to come here?” He took a step forward,his voice hoarse.“I had no choice.” “No choice?”I repeated,almost mockingly.“So your choice was to abandon me?To abandon our child?” Pain deepened in his eyes as he suddenly dropped to his knees beside my bed,his voice shaking.“They won’t let me stay,Janette.If I do,they will destroy me,destroy you,and even harm our child.” Before I could respond,a familiar voice came from outside the room. “You’d better understand your place.” My father stepped in,followed closely by my mother,while Eugenia stood at the door,arms crossed,a smug smile on her lips. “Luca,do you really think you can protect Janette?Don’t be naive.”My mother’s tone was cold. Luca clenched his jaw,his voice barely above a whisper.“At least I wouldn’t try to destroy her like you all have.” Eugenia laughed lightly,“Don’t act so noble.You have no power to stay.You can’t even protect yourself.” My father’s gaze darkened,filled with warning.“If you know what’s best for you,you’ll leave immediately.Otherwise,we will erase you from existence.” Luca’s face turned ghostly white,his hands trembling. “I…I can’t leave…”he muttered,his voice full of anguish. My mother let out a sigh,her lips curving into a cruel smile.“If you don’t leave now,you will regret ever being born.” The air grew thick with suffocating tension. Luca’s entire body shook.He turned to look at me,his eyes pleading and full of sorrow.“Janette,I…I really have no choice…” My heart turned to ice. I looked at him,the man who had once been my warmth,now completely consumed by fear. I closed my eyes,fighting back tears,my voice weak but firm.“Get out,Luca.” His eyes widened.“You really want me to go?” I inhaled deeply,slowly opening my eyes to meet his.“No,Luca.You want to go.” He was silent for a long time before,finally,his figure disappeared through the door. Eugenia shrugged,smiling in satisfaction.“That’s how it should be.” I felt all the strength drain from my body,my gaze empty as I stared at the doorway. “He’s gone…”I whispered,my tears falling silently. Dominic stepped beside me,his hand resting lightly on my shoulder,his voice deep and steady.“A man like that isn’t worth your grief.” I let out a dry,bitter laugh.“But he’s the father of my child.” Dominic’s gaze was unreadable,his hand slowly moving to my stomach as if to feel the life growing inside me. “I will protect your child,Janette.”His voice was low,but there was no hesitation.“No one will ever harm you again.” My heart trembled slightly as I looked up at this strong,unwavering man. For the first time,I realized that Luca was my past. And maybe the man standing before me…was my future. “Why are you helping me?”I asked softly. Dominic’s eyes darkened slightly,his lips curling into a dangerous yet determined smile.“Because they hurt you.And I hold grudges.” He leaned down,his voice a whisper against my ear.“I will help you get revenge,Janette.I will make them pay.” I closed my eyes,tears slipping down my cheeks. But this time,they weren’t tears of despair. They were the beginning of something else. “Alright.”My voice was hoarse,but resolute,as I reached out and took Dominic’s hand. Revenge had just begun.
The room was heavy with silence,broken only by the faint sounds of Irene adjusting medical tools. Dominic leaned against the wall,arms crossed,watching me. "What’s your plan?"His voice was low,unreadable. I stared at the bedsheet,my throat raw."They won’t let my child live." Dominic scoffed."Then let them try." Irene set down a vial,pushing her glasses up."You two need to make a decision soon.Your body can’t handle prolonged stress." Before I could answer,loud voices erupted from outside. "Where is she?I want to see her!" Eugenia. The door burst open as she stumbled inside,my mother right behind her. "Janette,how dare you hide from us?"Eugenia’s voice was sharp,her eyes flickering to Dominic,momentarily stunned."You’re actually with him?" Dominic smirked lazily."Better than being with you." Mother stepped forward,reaching for my hand."Come home,Janette.You know we’re doing this for your own good." I stepped back,dodging her touch,my voice cold."For my good?Or for yours?" Mother’s expression hardened,but Eugenia cut in first."I need your help!Are you really so heartless you’d let your own sister die?" "Your life?"I let out a bitter laugh."Have you ever cared about mine?" Eugenia’s face twisted."Stop playing the victim!Your baby can save her—why are you being so selfish?" Dominic straightened,his gaze razor-sharp."Listen.This isn’t your place to throw a tantrum.If you push her any further,you’ll regret it." Mother’s lips curled in disdain."And how long do you think you can protect her?" "As long as I need to."Dominic’s tone was almost amused,but his eyes were ice. Eugenia scoffed."Luca already left.You really think you can hold out forever?" Hearing Luca’s name,my fingers curled into a fist. Mother noticed,pressing her advantage."He abandoned you,Janette.Why ruin your life over a child who won’t even have a father?" I exhaled slowly before speaking."Because you are not my family." Eugenia’s eyes widened."What did you just say?" I looked straight at her,voice steady."Family doesn’t force you to sacrifice your own child for another." Mother’s jaw tightened."We’re just asking you to make the right decision." Dominic stepped closer,his voice calm but menacing."She already did." Eugenia’s expression flickered,then softened into feigned concern."You’re still angry at Luca,aren’t you?He didn’t have a choice—" "Enough."My voice was like steel."Don’t say his name." Eugenia blinked,then smirked."Do you really think this man will save you?Dominic is using you.Once you’re useless,he’ll throw you away just like everyone else." Dominic chuckled,tilting his head."Not everyone is as disposable as you,Eugenia." Eugenia let out a frustrated huff and turned to Mother."Mom,let’s go." Mother shot me one last,cold look."You will regret this." As they turned to leave,Dominic let out a low chuckle,full of amusement."I’d love to see who regrets it first—you,or the ones who’ll soon be begging at her feet." Eugenia froze mid-step,whirling back."What do you mean by that?" Dominic strolled over to my side,his golden eyes glinting with something dangerous."Do you want them on their knees,Janette?" I hesitated,meeting his gaze. Eugenia scoffed."Dream on.She doesn’t have the guts." Dominic tilted his head."That so?Then let’s wait and see." He turned to me,voice dropping into something almost seductive."Janette,do you want revenge?" A shiver ran through me,my vision blurring with unshed tears. Eugenia let out a breathy laugh."You’re not actually buying this,are you?" I let my lips curve slightly,my answer quiet but firm."Yes." Eugenia’s smirk vanished.Mother’s face paled. Dominic’s fingers laced with mine,his touch deliberate,confident."Good.The game begins now." Mother’s hand trembled.Eugenia’s breathing hitched. The door slammed shut behind them with a final,resounding bang. I closed my eyes,my pulse pounding. This time,I wasn’t the helpless victim. This time,I was the one holding the knife. And this was only the beginning.
The entrance of the hospital was in complete chaos. Reporters and crazed fans swarmed outside,their phones and cameras raised high as they pushed forward,desperate to get inside. Security struggled to maintain order,but the crowd’s madness had already spiraled out of control. "Janette,did you really steal Eugenia’s work?" "Rumor has it you don’t even know who the father of your baby is.Care to explain?" "You killed your sister—how does it feel to have blood on your hands?" The questions were relentless,cutting through me like a thousand blades. My hands instinctively cradled my stomach as I tried to navigate through the mass of bodies. I kept my head down,moving carefully toward the hospital doors.Then,without warning— A hand shoved me.Hard. "Get out of the industry,you fraud!" I stumbled backward,my foot slipping off the edge of the stairs. My heart seized as gravity yanked me downward. "Ah—!" I heard my own scream,the gasps of the crowd,and someone yelling for a doctor. But the only thing I truly felt was the unbearable pain that tore through my abdomen. My baby. Warmth spread down my legs.Blood.So much blood. The world around me blurred as my vision darkened. My arms curled around my belly in one last desperate attempt to protect what was left. Then everything faded into blackness. When I woke,the sharp scent of disinfectant filled my nose. Sunlight streamed through the hospital window,but it did nothing to warm the hollowness inside me. My hand drifted to my stomach. Flat. I froze. No. No,no,no. "My baby…where’s my baby?"My voice came out cracked,barely more than a whisper. "Janette…" A familiar voice.My mother. My head snapped up. She and my father stood at my bedside, their faces carefully composed,but their eyes…their eyes held nothing but indifference masked as pity. "What did you do?"My voice wavered as my fingers clenched the hospital sheets. My mother sighed,reaching for my hand."Janette,the doctors did everything they could,but the baby didn’t survive.You were reckless.You shouldn’t have run like that." "No!That’s not true!"I jerked away from her touch,my eyes darting between them."You planned this,didn’t you?" For a split second,her face stiffened before she quickly smoothed her expression. My father spoke next,his voice eerily calm."Janette,Eugenia’s condition was critical.We had no choice.You lost the baby,but at least your cord blood was able to save Eugenia." A deafening silence filled the room. Then my world shattered. "You…"My ears rang,my chest heaving."You used my pregnancy—my child—just to harvest cord blood for Eugenia?" "Calm down."My mother’s voice turned sharp."Eugenia is your sister.She was dying.We couldn’t just let her waste away." A bitter laugh escaped me,filled with nothing but raw,unfiltered agony."And my baby?He was disposable?" "He was never supposed to exist in the first place."My father’s words were emotionless,as if he were discussing a business transaction."Luca abandoned you.That child would have been a burden." Cold. So cold. "You…you’re monsters." My mother sighed,rubbing her temples."Janette,you have to let this go.You’re being overly dramatic.Eugenia still needs time to recover.You shouldn’t be causing unnecessary stress." "Stress?"My body trembled violently."You murdered my child,and now you want me to just accept it?" "He was nothing but an inconvenience."My mother’s voice was ice."Eugenia is the true future of this family." My head spun.My breath came in ragged gasps. Then the door burst open. The room’s temperature seemed to drop instantly. Dominic stood at the threshold,golden eyes burning with unrestrained fury. "You.Are.Dead." His voice was lethal. My mother paled,instinctively stepping back."Alpha,this is a hospital.You need to control yourself." Dominic let out a cold,humorless laugh."Control myself?You killed Janette’s child,and you expect me to stay calm?" "It was an accident,"my father stammered,but fear had crept into his voice. "An accident?"Dominic moved faster than I could track.One moment,he was by the door. The next,he had my father by the throat,lifting him clean off the ground. "Gah—"My father’s face turned purple as he clawed at Dominic’s wrist. "Dominic,stop!"My mother screamed. Dominic ignored her.With a flick of his wrist,he sent her flying into the wall.She collapsed onto the floor,coughing up blood. "Aah—!"She clutched at her legs,her eyes widening in horror as realization set in."I…I can’t move my legs!" My father gasped for air,his own legs twitching uncontrollably beneath him.Then—nothing. Dominic released his grip,letting my father crumple to the ground beside her. "You will spend the rest of your pathetic lives in those wheelchairs."His voice was void of mercy."Consider it a fraction of the pain you’ve caused." Silence.Cold,suffocating silence. Then— A frantic knock at the door.A nurse rushed inside,her face stricken with panic."It’s Eugenia—she’s gone!" My heart lurched."What?" "She was in her hospital room,but she vanished.Security footage is wiped.We…we don’t know where she is." Dominic’s expression darkened.His smile turned razor-sharp."Seems like she’s smarter than I thought." My hands clenched into fists,nails digging into my palms. Eugenia had escaped. She knew the truth.She was responsible for my child’s death. And now,she was out there somewhere,running from her sins. Dominic moved closer,tilting my chin up to meet his gaze. His touch was surprisingly gentle,but his words dripped with bloodlust. "Do you want to hunt her down yourself?" I exhaled shakily,my grief hardening into something else. Vengeance. Tears slipped down my cheeks,but my voice was unwavering."I want her to pay."
