About this story
For four months, Sharon secretly cursed her ex-boyfriend Ethan Pierce every single day. When she finally receives the call announcing his death, she can't believe her luck. She spends the entire night choosing the perfect funeral outfit, arrives looking like she's closing a billion-dollar business deal, and delivers the performance of a lifetime—crying so hard that everyone believes she's the grieving woman who loved him most. Except... She faints. When she wakes up, the supposedly dead Ethan is sitting beside her. Turns out his death was nothing more than a carefully planned deception in a brutal family inheritance war. Now the only witness to his survival is the one woman who can't stand him. Forced into his dangerous game, Sharon soon discovers that pretending to mourn him is much easier than pretending she doesn't still have feelings buried beneath years of resentment. Enemies. Former lovers. One fake death. One impossible marriage. And one very possessive man determined to prove that no one could ever love her more than he does.
Chapter 1

Across the top of Sharon Shaw's browser stretched a battlefield of open tabs.

There were so many that none of them displayed full titles anymore—only tiny search engine icons followed by a single word:

"Cur..." "Hex..." "Reve..." "How..." "Does..." "Real..."

She leaned so close to the monitor that the glow painted her face pale blue as she opened yet another article she hadn't read before.

"The so-called effectiveness of curses is usually the result of coincidence or psychological suggestion. Instead of waiting for imaginary revenge, it's healthier to focus on becoming a stronger person and living your best life..."

Sharon didn't even finish reading.

Click.

The tab disappeared.

"Useless."

She opened another forum instead.

For the past four months, she had become an unwilling expert on every corner of the internet remotely related to curses, revenge rituals, karma, bad luck, and supernatural payback.

She had browsed countless forums, anonymous confession boards, and occult communities until she could almost predict every post before reading it.

Some were obviously written by lunatics.

Some sounded convincing—until they suggested sacrificing blood or shortening one's own lifespan.

Absolutely not.
