The Unrivaled Son-in-law
Modern "I will take everything I once lost back with my own hands!" Noah Reed vowed to himself.
Four years ago, his family abandoned him and he became homeless. He had nowhere else to go and wandered on the streets for a long time.
When he was down and out, a gorgeous and kind angel, Charlotte Pierce showed up and helped him. One thing led to another and they soon became husband and wife.
The first few months of their marriage weren't easy. Noah felt less of a man because he couldn't cater for her.
He decided to join the army just to become more worthy of her. After four years of active service, he made great achievements during wars and was awarded the highest honors.
Noah was now at the finish line of the race at becoming a better man. But to his greatest surprise, he found out that Charlotte's parents were forcing her to remarry.
Her parents had no regard for him. With all firmness, he vowed again, "I'll not lose anything precious to me again. I swear to protect our love.
I, Noah Reed, will take back everything that I lost. All those who ridiculed me and wrote me off will bite their fingers in regret when my true identity is revealed!"
And so, Noah embarked on another journey—one of revenge and fighting for love. The Almighty Husband

Ex-Wife, Please Have Some Self-Respect
Fritz Heaney I was driving through a rainstorm in upstate New York, pushing my old Volvo to the limit just to pick up a Dior gown for my wife, Catarina. She needed it for a gala tonight, where she planned to spend the evening standing next to the man she actually loved, Atticus Deleon.
The truck hit me head-on, crossing the center line and sending my car rolling down an embankment in a shriek of twisted metal and shattered glass. As the steering column crushed my chest, my brain didn't see a white light; it was pried open by a digital tsunami, flooding my mind with the "Quantum Archive"-billions of data points on surgery, high-frequency trading, and combat.
I woke up in the ICU with three broken ribs and a concussion, but the only thing waiting for me was a screaming voicemail from my wife's assistant.
"Jorden, where the hell are you? Catarina has been waiting for thirty minutes! You are so incompetent it's actually impressive."
There was no "Are you okay?" or "Are you alive?"-only fury over a ruined dress and a missing tie. While I was being resuscitated, my wife was on Instagram, singing "Endless Love" with Atticus and laughing at my "tantrum." She even called the family lawyer to freeze my credit cards, wanting to make sure I couldn't even buy a coffee without her permission.
For three years, I had been the "useful husband," the doormat who apologized whenever she stepped on my toes. But the accident had overwritten my desperation with cold, hard logic, and I realized I had almost died for a woman who viewed me as a liability with a negative return on investment.
When Catarina finally stormed into my hospital room to demand an apology for ruining her night, I didn't look at her with the usual puppy-dog eyes. I looked at her with ice in my veins and handed her a manila envelope I had drafted myself.
"Sign the divorce papers, Ms. Evans. I'm done being your canary."
