Chapter 1 - The Divorce He Demanded

Serena's POVThe sharp knock on the office door came just as I finished signing the final document on my desk.“Come in,” I said distractedly, not bothering to look up immediately.I heard the door open roughly, followed by a loud slam that made me raise my head.Damian walked into my office without greeting me, his expression cold and impatient. Behind him, my assistant looked nervous.“I tried my best to stop him, but he wouldn't—”“Go,” he said coldly.She paused for a second, then looked at me for a signal.“Don't worry, you can go,” I reassured her.After she left, I frowned slightly at him.Damian looked at me with so much anger and disgust. He didn't sit.I slowly placed my pen down. “What's the problem?”Without answering, he violently threw a thick file onto my desk.The papers slid across the table. I looked at them and froze.Divorce papers.I thought I had misread them.I looked up at him. “What is this?”“Exactly what it looks like,” Damian answered flatly.I waited for h

Chapter 2 - The Bride Who Tried To Die

Adrian's POVThe sound of my office door opening barely pulled my attention away from the contract in front of me.“Mr. Knight.”I signed the final page calmly before looking up.Xavier Reed, my secretary, stood near the entrance of my door with an expression I immediately recognized.Hesitation, that alone irritated me.“What is it?”Xavier adjusted his glasses slightly. “There's been….an incident involving Miss Laurent.”My pen paused.Lilith Laurent, ma fiancée. Or more accurately, the woman I was contractually obligated to marry in less than twenty-four hours.I leaned back slowly in my chair. “What kind of incident?”Xavier hesitated for a second.“She attempted to take her own life yesterday evening.”Silence settled across the office.The city skyline stretched beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows behind me while rain tapped softly against the glass.I stared at him without reacting immediately.“She survived,” Xavier added quickly. “The family doctor arrived in time.”I looked

Chapter 3 - I Woke Up As Lilith Laurent

Serena's POV“Your marriage arrangement with Mr. Adrian Knight was tomorrow.”Marriage? To whom? I was confusedWas she speaking to me? About a marriage arrangement. I looked around the room, and it looked unfamiliar.“Sorry but where am I?” I askedThe maid looked horrified now. “Miss….this is the Laurent estate.”I stared at her. Laurent Estate? I had never heard of it in my life, what was I even doing here?“Where's my phone?” I demanded quickly. “I need my phone please.”The maid hesitated “Miss Lilith, your mother took it after…..after what happened yesterday.”Something about the way she said it made my stomach twist.“After what?” The girl went pale immediately.“I….we're…..we aren't supposed to say anything.”Fear slowly crawled up my spine, I looked around the room again, finally noticing details I had ignored earlier.The vanity table, fresh flowers, designer dresses hanging nearby and the pictures in the room.I walked towards one of the framed photographs with unsteady

Chapter 4 - Marrying Adrian King

Serena's POVThe cathedral doors opened slowly, and there he was.Standing at the altar.Adrian Knight.For a second, my entire body locked up.This man, this cold, terrifyingly composed man, was supposed to become my husband in the next few minutes.The cathedral was massive, filled with wealthy guests, soft music, camera flashes, and expensive flowers decorating nearly every surface. Everything looked elegant enough to belong in a movie.But all I could focus on was him.Tall, still, and unreadable.He just stood there, expressionless and calm.Like this wedding meant absolutely nothing to him, and somehow, that made me feel worse.My fingers tightened around the bouquet, trembling slightly in my hands.Run.The thought hit me instantly.Run now.But my feet refused to move backward because where exactly was I supposed to run to? I didn't even know where I was.I wasn't Serena Vale anymore.The realization hit me harder than it had yesterday.Serena Vale was gone.Maybe dead.Meanwh

Chapter 5 - Don't Let Them Kill Me Again

Adrian's POVOne second she was climbing the stairs.The next… she fell.“Lilith.”No response.“Call the family doctor,” I ordered sharply. “Now.”The servants scattered immediately.I carried her upstairs myself.Her body felt lighter than expected.Fragile.The thought irritated me instantly.People shouldn't look at this as breakable.By the time I reached her room, the servants had already pulled the blankets back nervously.I laid her carefully on the bed while another maid rushed to remove her heels.Still no response.A few strands of dark hair fell across her face.Unconsciously, I brushed them aside before immediately stepping back afterward.Ten minutes later, the family doctor arrived.An older man named Dr. Morrison who had worked with my family for years.He examined Lilith quietly while I remained near the window.“She collapsed from exhaustion,” he said eventually.“That's all?”Dr. Morrison removed his glasses briefly.“She's weak right now. Stress, emotional shock, a

Chapter 6 - A Life That Wasn't Mine

“Don't let them kill me again…”The words left my mouth before I could stop them.My fingers clutched tightly onto Adrian's shirt while tears burned down my face uncontrollably.For one humiliating second, I forgot where I was and whom I was supposed to be.All I could feel was fear, fear from the accident, fear from Vanessa's cold eyes, fear from Damian standing there watching while blood poured from my head.Everything came rushing back all at once until I couldn't breathe properly anymore.And strangely, Adrian didn't push me away.He stayed while I cried against him, his hand remaining firm against my shoulder as if grounding me back to reality.The room remained quiet except for my uneven breathing.I hated this, I hated crying in front of someone I barely knew.Slowly, after what felt like forever, my breathing steadied, and reality returned painfully.And with it came embarrassment.Oh my God, I was still holding onto him.I pulled away immediately, wiping my tears quickly befo

Chapter 8 - The Woman Behind the Shadows

Serena's POVI barely slept that night, every time I closed my eyes, I saw the files again. The passwords, the hidden folders, the dates, and the fear buried inside every single thing Lilith had hidden away.By morning, my chest still felt heavy.The sunlight spilling through the curtains did nothing to calm the unease twisting inside me.For several long seconds, I sat on the bed staring blankly ahead.The fact that I was even living inside another woman's body while my own life remained somewhere else entirely.But somehow, what disturbed me most now wasn't myself anymore…it was Lilith. The deeper I looked into her life, the more I realized something terrible had happened to her long before the wedding. And nobody helped her.Slowly, I reached for the phone beside me again, my fingers hesitated, and I brushed over the screen before unlocking it carefully. Part of me wanted to stop digging but another part needed answers.I needed to know why Lilith sounded so terrified in those

Chapter 9 - Milk at One in the Morning

Serena's POVI spent the entire evening waiting for Adrian to come home.At first, I told myself it was only because I needed answers about Catherine, that woman, about Lilith…But as the hours dragged on slowly, I realized that wasn't entirely true. For some reason, Adrian's presence made the mansion feel less suffocating and lonely. After everything I had discovered earlier that day, loneliness suddenly felt unbearable. The hidden files, the recordings, the bruises and Lilith's fear.It all replayed endlessly in my mind no matter how hard I tried to distract myself. By the time the clock struck nine, I was sitting near the bedroom window anxiously twisting the sleeve of my sweater between my fingers.The mansion remained painfully quiet, too quiet and I hated it.Finally, close to ten, I heard movement downstairs, and relief hit me before I could stop it. I immediately left the room.By the time I finally reached downstairs, Adrian had just entered the mansion while loosening hi

Chapter 10 - Pasta at 6 O'Clock

Serena's POVFor the first time since waking up in Lilith's body, I woke feeling calmer, not completely okay but better.The conversations Adrian and I shared the previous night lingered softly in my mind while morning sunlight spilled across the bed sheets.Adrian still felt distant and cold sometimes but now I understood where he was coming from.It was a habit, a protection…and somehow, knowing that made me trust him slightly easier.Not fully, not yet but enough. I sat up slowly against the headboard before reaching for Lilith's phone resting beside me.This time, when I unlocked the phone, my hands weren't trembling.I wanted answers, I carefully reopened the recordings and notes while paying attention to the dates.And slowly I started noticing the patterns.Catherine's visits to the Laurent estate increased drastically once the wedding date got closer.At first the visits happened occasionally, then weekly and then almost daily.And the unknown woman appeared less as the weddi
