About

Dione Crestmont stands at the precipice of a decision that could shatter her world—or set her free. After a decade of unwavering devotion to Cedric Rutherford, the man she once believed would never betray her, the revelation of his infidelity with a younger apprentice sends her spiraling into despair.

As Cedric's fame skyrockets, their relationship teeters on the edge of collapse. In a moment that should be filled with celebration, Dione’s heart hardens with every lie he tells, every touch that feels more like a reminder of her pain than a promise of love.

Will she confront the man who has become a stranger, or will she walk away, leaving behind a past that no longer serves her?

As the anniversary of their marriage approaches, Dione must navigate a labyrinth of emotions and secrets.

In a world where loyalty and betrayal dance dangerously close, the stakes have never been higher.

After Her Fake Death, His Regret Turned Into RedemptionChapter 1

"Dr. Pierce, I’ve made my choice; I choose euthanasia!"

Dione Crestmont's voice trembled as she spoke into the phone, her tears flowing freely down her cheeks.

Just five minutes earlier, a message had shattered her fragile world. Cedric Rutherford's female apprentice had sent her a text. [We slept together last night, and he didn’t use protection.]

Attached was a damning photo of Cedric, shirtless, with hickeys starkly visible on his neck.

Her thoughts drifted to a time when her condition had stabilized, and Dr. Pierce had reassured her that her illness wouldn’t prevent her from having children. Hopeful and naïve, she had asked Cedric if he wanted a child.

At the time, Cedric had gently stroked her hair and said with a soft chuckle, "No. A child would steal some of your love from me, and I’d get jealous. Besides, I couldn’t bear to see you endure the pain of childbirth."

For ten long years of marriage, they had always used protection. But now, he had slept with a woman he had known for less than six months, throwing caution to the wind as if her trust had meant nothing.

In the end, her faith in him had been a cruel mistake.
